OSX: Ever wish you could right click on a folder in finder and 'Open in VSCODE'?... Well now you can!
And it's entirely free and easy to do! Here's how!
Open up Automator. ( It comes standard in osx ).
It'll promp you to select a type. Click on Quick action. Now select Folders in finder.
In the search bar, search for Apple Script, and drag and drop it into the screen on the right.
Next, type in the applescript to match the photo.
Save it and call it whatever you like. I named it 'Open in VS Code'. I believe what you name it is how it will appear. you can also choose your own icon.
Entirely optional but you can also create your own hotkey binding if you like by going to System Settings/Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Services > Files and Folders > and ensuring that 'Open in VS Code' is checked. then to assign a key binding, click on the none to the right and type in your key binding.
Now right click on any project folder, click on quick actions. and enjoy your new Shortcut!

I double click an xml file.
Windows 10 asks me "How do you want to open this file?"
I make a selection and click ok
I'm back at 2 (rince and repeat, forever...)
If I click the "always use" checkbox, I even see the icons refresh in the windows explorer, before the "How do you want to open this file?" dialog pops back in screen.
I already tried deleting all the xml keys in the registry that I could find (no worries, I exported them first).
I tried different programs in the dialog.
Nothing works.
I created a dummy file extension, and that worked fine... the dialog appeared once, and after that it opened in the app I picked.
But it looks like somehow the file open dialog is stuck on .xml files.
Does anyone have any clue at all?
found this:
Run / gpedit.msc (edit group policy)
locate and expand Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components now click on File Explorer
on the right panel, double click on "Do not show the 'new application installed' notification" and set it to "Enabled"

Is there a quick way to copy file paths in Mac OS X v10.10 (Yosemite)?
Launch Automator (you can click the spotlight search feature in the upper right corner of your mac and search for Automator).
In Automator, click "New" in the "File" drop down menu (upper left hand corner of display screen).
Select "Service" for new file type (gear symbol).
-Now you can start building the shortcut-
Type the word "copy" into the search space on the right side of the automator program window (next to "Actions" and "Variables").
Drag "Copy to Clipboard" from the "search" area into the "workflow" area.
Change the "Service receives selected" drop down menu to "files or folders" (right above workflow area).
Change the "in" drop down menu to "Finder" (right above workflow area).
Save file as "Copy File Path."
To use this "Copy File Path" command, when you are using Finder simply right click a file/folder and scroll down to the "Services" menu item at the bottom of the context window. Select the "Copy File Path" option and then paste wherever desired.
To access the Automator shortcut file for editing or renaming, click the "Go" drop down window when you are using "Finder" (near top of display). Next hold the "option" key and double click on "Library" (note that "Library" appears only after holding down "option"). Scroll down the Library folder until you find the "Services" folder. Open this folder and your new Automator shortcut will be inside.

Some time ago on XP I was considering switching to Dvorak and I found this little program on line, "click here" and from than on the left Ctrl + Shift switches me to Dvorak. Well now it is just a hindrance and it followed me from XP to Windows 7. I've been the 'normal' route going through the control panel but it shows there it has never been changed. I'm not a programmer, I probably know just enough to get in trouble. I suspect something in the registry got changed, but that is just a guess. Can you at least tell me where to look. I could probably delete a line or change some small thing in registry if I knew where to look but that is about the limit of what I know. Thanks
Since the last windows 10 update you can disable that functionality by opening windows settings and following these simple steps:
I think this question is better suited to SuperUser, but I'll try to answer it for you.
There are literally thousands of registry entries related to language input and keyboard layout, so tackling that would be troublesome. Your best bet would be to try disabling this properly through the GUI.
For Windows 10 (source):
Click "Clock, Language, and Region" from the control panel
Click "Language"
Click "Advanced settings" in the right column
If you'd like to remove Dvorak as an option entirely, click "options" here and remove it under "Input method"
Under "Switching input methods", click "Change language bar hot keys"
Select "Between input languages" and click "Change Key Sequence"
Disable/change the keyboard shortcut as you'd like
For older versions of Windows, the process is similar:
Open the "Region and Language" panel from the control panel.
Click the "Keyboards and Languages" tab.
Click the "Change keyboards..." button.
Click the "Advanced Key Settings" tab.
For each item listed under "Action", click the "Change Key Sequence..." button and either clear the "Enable Key Sequence" checkbox, or select the "Not Assigned" radio buttons.
If you no longer want to have Dvorak has an option, back in the "Change keyboards..." panel, go to the "General" tab, select "United States-Dvorak" and click the "Remove" button.
Don't forget to apply the changes!
For Windows 10 Pro, version 1809, the settings seems to be at yet another place as mentioned above:
Open Settings App
Click Devices
Click Typing in the left column
Click Advanced keyboard settings at the bottom
Click Language bar options
Choose Advanced Key Settings tab in the popup
Select Between input languages and click Change Key Sequence...
Set both Switch Input Language and Switch Keyboard Layout to Not Assigned
Click OK
In Windows 10:
Type in the search bar of the start menu Control Panel -> Click Language -> Click Advanced settings -> Click Change language bar hot keys -> Click Change Key Sequence
Edit: Windows 10 has moved things around since this post. It may be easiest to search Settings for "Advanced Keyboard Settings."
Start > Settings > Region And Language
Advanced Keyboard Settings on the right hand side
Language Bar Options
Advanced key settings
Between Input languages
Change Key Sequence... Not Assigned
Ok (then Apply For Windows 10 )

I need to change the extension a GIF file (changing it in ".gaf") to use it in Visual studio 2005.
Unfortunately the extension does not appear on the file name so when I change the name of the file I get "picture.gaf.gif" even if I see only "picture.gaf" in its name.
I guess you need to show the file name extensions. One of the more annoying default-settings in windows!
Copied from http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Show-or-hide-file-name-extensions
Show or hide file name extensions
A file name extension is a set of characters added to the end of a file name that determine which program should open it. Follow these steps to choose whether Windows displays these file extensions.
Open Folder Options by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Folder Options.
Click the View tab, and then, under Advanced settings, do one of the following:
To hide file extensions, select the Hide extensions for known file types check box, and then click OK.
To display file extensions, clear the Hide extensions for known file types check box, and then click OK.

When browsing non-special/standard folders in explorer (windows 7), I have various custom right-click context menu options such as:
"Open command window here" (shift+ rightclick)
TortoiseHG
WinMerge
...etc...
The problem is that these options do not come up in the context menu when navigating library folders (such as Documents/My Documents), and instead a 'blank'/clean version of the context menu without any 3rd party/custom extensions is shown.
This is quite annoying, considering I work a lot with command prompt and like to use source control on most of my documents. Only when you navigate via a libraries link does the context menu lose extra options (i.e. you still get the options if you navigate to the special folder location without going through any library shortcut)
My current workaround is that I have manually navigated to the documents folder, and added that to favourites in explorer, using the favourites link instead of the library link.
Is there any solution to this mysterious library folder limited context menu behaviour? I've tried searching, but could not find a way to lift this limitation.
Try this simple context menu1.0 from http://www.brothersoft.com/simple-context-menu-438026.html
Actually, I just found the answer to this.
If you select a specific folder within the library, and right-click that one while holding shift, it should work as expected. Works for me anyway.
The given reason was that Library maps to two different folders.
This likely belongs on SuperUser.com, but it should be automagically moved.
From what it sounds like, I bet the issue is that a library folder isn't really a folder, it's just a logical mechanism, so the context menu isn't going to be the same as that of a folder (because the same options may not work directly).
