I've seen executables that extract themselves and run a compressed setup.exe afterwards: a double click on the file uncompresses it and then runs the formerly compressed setup.exe.
How can I accomplish this? I would like to use WinRAR, how can I make a self-extracting executable that runs the compressed setup.exe after unpacking it to a temporary folder?
New Archive, set to SFX mode. Go to Advanced tab, SFX Options button.
General tab, "Run after extraction" textbox. Enter your setup.exe, with relative path if any.
Then go to Modes tab and set it to Temporary mode:
It will not prompt the user if you leave the question fields blank, and you can make it silent with the radio buttons at the bottom.

this is such a beginners question but nevertheless wanted some of your input.
I tried installing SublimeText4 and noticed that there is no .dmg file associated with it, all i get .zip - is this normal? Usually with SBT3 and Pycharm I was used to at least some 'install' procedures.
Kind of new to Mac OS, so thanks for the help.
The DMG approach is common, but in this case, the ZIP file has the application. Often the browser will automatically unzip it for you, but if not, just double click on the ZIP file and the application will be extracted for you. Then you can just drag the app extracted from the ZIP file to your “Applications” folder and you are done.

So I am accidentally moved my downloads folder as the User directory. I was able to reverse this change and get the downloads folder to be within the User directory.
However, I am left with a problem, in explorer, the User directory (Fishsticks in the cmd window) has been left labeled as Downloads. I am wondering if there is anyway, by changing registry values or otherwise, to relabel the folder so that it appears with the write name in explorer.

I am aware that it is not possible to rename the folder, I just want it to appear with the right name.
Edit or delete the hidden desktop.ini file in c:\Users\yourusername\, specifically the line that starts with LocalizedResourceName= needs to be removed.

I'd like to start a batch file when I log on with a specific account. The problem is, that specific account doesn't have the right to copy to the Startup folder, or install anything on the machine (Windows 7). How can I achieve this?
If you don't have those rights then you can use Task Scheduler. Open start and start to type "task" and you'll see that program. Open it and click "Create Basic Task". Type the name and a desciption. Click next and choose "When I log on". Click next and choose "Start a program". After that, browse your batch file location and add the arguments if necessary.

I do not know if this is possible (I suspect that it isn't), but can you change the default program for a file type for only a specific folder and the folder's sub-folders in Windows 7?
What I am trying to do is set the html files in a specific folder to open in Notepad++ by default, and everywhere else, open in Chrome (which is the current default).
I do know how to change the global default program for a file extension, but that is not what I am trying to do in this case.
Thank you in advance.
In a word: Impossible
The registry cant be customised for an individual folder it is all or nothing.

I'm using gnome-shell with Ubuntu 11.10. At the left edge there is menu with icons. Where can I edit the command that is launched after clicking them? For example, there is gvim icon and I want it to start with -geometry flag. I assume it is in some config file, but where?
To add startup arguments you have to modify the Exec parameter of the .desktop file. The gvim.desktop file is in
/usr/share/applications/gvim.desktop
Add the arguments you need to the line.
Exec=gvim -f %F
This will affect all users on your system. If you want a custom launcher file you can create a .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications.
