I've got third party Winamp plug-in in windows, that should be able to load its datafile.
The datafile is located in same folder as the plug-in, but can not be found. My idea is that plug-in searches in some pre-defined path. So I need somehow to find out what file read attempt is done to place file in the appropriate place.

Best way to do this is to use Process Monitor from Sysinternals suite (http://technet.microsoft.com/sysinternals/bb896645)
Set up filters to watch only the examined program and look for 'CreateFile' operations, which are also read attempts.

anyone know of a utility or script that can remove files attached within a PDF file? I am using pdftk to get the attached files using the unpack_files option, however there is not a way to remove those files from the PDF on this software, which is what I really need to happen. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Found a utility called Coherent PDF which will do this in case someone else is needing this.

I'm curious how does Windows 10 S kernel implementation of CreateProcess know which process to run and which one to block?
For instance, if we take Notepad.exe:
It has no issues allowing it to run. And it is not even signed:
But the regedit.exe right below it, triggers this:
I'm curious, how do they differentiate between them?
EDIT: Forgot to mention. If you want to try it for yourself, Media creation tool now allows to create a Windows 10 S iso that runs fine in a VM.

My harddrive is approaching capacity and I'd like to find all the large folders on the drive to delete them manually. I searched for a way to do this and a lot of 3rd party utilities came up, but I was surprised I couldn't find a native win7 way of doing it. I don't have to do this often so I'd prefer not to install a tool specifically for this. I just need a listing of all folders that exceed a certain size.

All my .bat files are opening automatically in notepad. Anyone know what kind of file I need to associate it? I tried to associate to "Windows command processor", but it only opened the "command-prompt", and didn't execute it.
Try removing the .bat file association in the registry. See this link for more details.
You should just be able to remove the "UserChoice" sub-folder.

Thank you
This file is related to MS program.
you can read how to clean the file and more about the issues here here and here
Some of them are pretty old, since 2007, but are still relevant.
Also next time it could help if you state which windows you have ? XP/Vista/Win7
