Hmm, it started when I pressed Windows button, entered 'Notepad', probably only first few letters and expected to write my*notice in no time (I use notepad a lot for short notes). Nothing happens, turns out shortcut for notepad is missing. Ok probably I've accidently*deleted it when I was managing folder with start button shortcuts. I create shortcut to notepad.exe and place it back where it ought to be. Few months later some random application's shortcut is missing - yep, my fault, creating shortcut to exe again. Today, shortcut to Command Prompt is missing. This doesn't look so innocent anymore. Yep, it's not innocent at all, according to internets it's not happening to*just me. So is this*bug eating your shortcuts too, any idea what would cause this problem, any solution? :) More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds

I'm just improving a UI I've built for a client, fairly ordinary stuff, but I'm stuck for coming up with short data validation messages. One particular field on the form requires a string representation of a number which is a member of the Set of Reals. (i.e. an every-day number with or without decimal point). Internally it's stored as a Single/float. So initially I thought I'd just put down "Please enter a real number". But the system isn't used by ...shall we say "mathematically orientated" people, so I fear the message would just sound condescending thanks to the double-entrende of "real" in this circumstance. They're the sort of users who think an "imaginary number" is Eleventeen or Twentytwelve, rather than a member of the Complex set. So what's the best short data validation message I can put to instruct users to put in a simple number with or without a decimal component? Ta More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds

Hi there! Quick question to all you experts out there on something that is quite simple I'm sure. Is there a new way in VS.net 2008 to auto increment version numbers when you build the vb.net or C# project. In vs.net 2005, you could view the project properties, click the 'Assembly information' button and you'd see 'Assembly version' and 'File Version' boxes - this is where you can manually place the version number. However, by putting an asterisk in either the third or forth text box, then the build or revision number would autoincrement. All well and good, but when I try to do this in 2008, I get a message saying 'A wildcard is not allowed in this field' Gah! I'm guessing there's some other super easy and more effient way to do it in 2008, but I've been searching Google all afternoon and can't find it. Any ideas? Richard. More...

As a Dell PC owner, I am very jealous of the utilities and powertools available to the Mac owner. The two that just impress me / I'd love to have are MiniBattery Logger and the temperature monitor . Why can't I have apps like this on Windows? Granted people know what hardware the mac will be using, because....there is some commonality between them. But most laptops sold today are using the Intel Centrino platform so there is a set of 3 chips that people know are being sold, Intel Core Processor, Intel Chipset, Intel Wireless...plus people also know most hard drives support SMART. Is there any hope? I feel left out :( More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds
