All,
I have one firefox installation at work that has specific add-ons, each add-on having it's own preferences and history/data.
Is there a tool/steps to move the entire data to my personal PC, so that I do not have to set-up everything all over again?
My workstation is Windows XP SP3
and
my personal PC is Windows 7, professional, 64bit.
Thanks
Open your Explorer and type in: %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
If you didn't create another profile there should be one folder with ".default" at the end of it's name. Just copy this folder to the same directory on your desktop pc.
Have fun :)

I bouth laptop with pre-installed windows 8.1 a half year ago.
I copied license key and erased the system.
I installed windows 10 and I want to activate it with my key, but it does not accept it.
Is there any way to convert the key?
Because I do not want to install windows 8.1 with my key and then upgrade to windows 10.
You can't do this unfortunately.
You will have to re-install Windows 8.1, then upgrade to Windows 10, then use the Reset Process in Windows 10 for a clean install.
To reset your Windows 10 PC, open the Settings app, select Update & security, select Recovery, and click the “Get started” button under Reset this PC. Select “Remove everything.” This will wipe all your files, so be sure you have backups.

I've read many articles about using wevutil.exe and it seems to be exactly what I need. However, I cannot find it. I've tried on a Windows 2003 server, Windows 2008 server, Windows 7, etc. All come back with "'wevutil' is not recognized as an internal or external command". TechNet (which has docs on using it) doesn't list a download point so I assume it is provided with Windows?
I think you just misspelled, it's actually WevtUtil, and is located in C:\Windows\System32.

On windows XP, I easily replace the corrupted shimgvw.dll with the original so that I could recover the problem of displaying the picture on thumbnail view and opening it with windows fax viewer.
But I can't replace shimgvw.dll on windows 7. I have tried replacing from safe mode with command prompt, but I can't.
Is there any command-line(like sudo of LINUX) to break security so that windows 7 will allows us to replace the file on system32 folder?
Are you programmer?
MoveFileEx
Or you can use
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\FileRenameOperations
registry key.
Or you can use Sysinternals PendMoves

I have a program installed on windows 7 in my laptop. I wish to install the same program on windows 7 in my desktop. unfortunately, I don't have the source file with me anymore. How can I copy the entire program from one machine to another machine and make it run?
It depends on the program if that's possible or not.
You would have to know, which parts the installer copied to your computer and to which directories. Even then it is possible that the installer checked for prerequisites, found them on the laptop, but are missing on the desktop computer.
You can try to copy the files from the %ProgramFiles% directory, but it is poor luck if that works and you can't be sure that it works correctly. So your best option is to organise the installer package again.
see How to Copy a Program From One Computer to Another Without a Startup Disk.I hope it will work.

i am running xampp on my windows 7 machine. i've downloaded the sourcecode for concrete5 5.4.2.2 (that is a PHP-based CMS) but some directories are not writeable, see screenie:
since there is no such thing as chmod on windows i am now wondering how to make the folders writeable by the webserver?!
There are two steps that should help you. First, check what user the web server is running as. If you can't see it easily, just Task Manager - it should show you. Then, once you know that user, give him read/write permissions through windows explorer to that folder. Alternatively, you could give "eveyone" access this way, but that has some serious security implications.
