October 12th, 2010Delete files in Windows 7
September 17th, 2010Even if you install windows 7 on another partition the old data of previous operating system still present on your hard drive which becomes undeletable or inaccessible from Windows 7.
Usually this problem of undeletable files and folder is because of Access control list of these object is associated with SID of old operating system user accounts and these users are not present in your windows 7, effectively data is owned by nobody or non-existent user.
In order to access the files and folder for manipulation, modification or deletion, we will need to take control of the files under Windows 7. Here are two command line syntaxes to instantly take ownership of such files,
For Files:
takeown /f file_name /d y
icacls file_name /grant administrators:F
For Directories (will perform action recursively):
takeown /f directory_name /r /d y
icacls directory_name /grant administrators:F /t

September 2nd, 2010Manage Dropbox as a Virtual Drive
There is subst.exe utility in windows which creates virtual drives of paths associated with them.
You need to make a cmd or bat file with the these 2 lines:
subst /d X:
subst X: “C:\Users\[user]\Documents\My Dropbox”
and put the file in your startup folder (“Start”- type “shell:startup” in the search field) as the command file mounts the folder into a virtual drive. The first line deletes a substituted virtual drive. Youll see a drive X: in this case in My Computer which has Dropbox folders. Thanks to this thread.
Note: the command shown will work on Windows 7, for Windows XP the command has to be “C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\My Documents\My Dropbox”

August 30th, 2010Fantastic Video Processing Software
August 25th, 2010VirtualDub is a video capture/processing utility for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows platforms (98/ME/NT4/2000/XP/Vista/7), licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). It lacks the editing power of a general-purpose editor such as Adobe Premiere, but is streamlined for fast linear operations over video. It has batch-processing capabilities for processing large numbers of files and can be extended with third-party video filters. VirtualDub is mainly geared toward processing AVI files, although it can read (not write) MPEG-1 and also handle sets of BMP images.
