Increase of virtualbox disk size This might in turn be because I changed the disk size while snapshotted, but I cannot reduce it anymore with modifyhd. I get "VBOX_E_NOT_SUPPORTED". |

Increase of virtualbox disk size You are likely to be correct, but I cannot remove the snapshot. When I try to delete it (and merge to the vdi) I only get an error message "VERR_INVALID_PARAMETER", Component Medium, "VBOX_E_FILE_ERROR (0x80BB0004)". The "Details" tab gives now "Mind.vdi (Normal, Inaccessible)", but the VM does start normally. |

How to control Windows 7 snap feature with two monitors? @mgutt: DisplayFusion snaps to monitor edges (even if there is another adjacent monitor). The window does not get height-maximized though. |

How to reload windows color settings after change of registry key? A way to send messages without writing a C function is apparently autohotkey: autohotkey.com/docs/commands/PostMessage.htm , but even there, no luck for me. |

How to reload windows color settings after change of registry key? I have the same problem. I read about WM_SETTINGCHANGE, to be broadcasted to all windows social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/csharpgeneral/thread/… , but I couldn't make it work. Maybe this link helps, in that case tell me if you figure it out! |

How to increase contrast of Windows 7 Menu Item highlight Changing wrong monitor settings (brightness and contrast) is a good suggestion! |

How to increase contrast of Windows 7 Menu Item highlight I think these parameters are taken into account only if the user is not using an Aero style. It may only work with "Windows Classic" theme. |

git bash icon on windows 7 I did not try to rebuild the icon cache, but creating a new shortcut by myself did the trick. |

git bash icon on windows 7 The target is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login -i. I created a new shortcut "sh" in the same location as the "Git Bash" shortcut (C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Git), and it is working! I diffed the files and they do differ, but not visibly in links' properties dialog. The problem is solved, thank you, but I don't understand why the icon was broken in the first place. |

Setting default keyboard layout application-specific? So I guess the answer is no, you cannot setup WinXP to remember the keyboard setting used for an application, and use it directly from the start (you have to change it manually after start of the application). |

How can I scan multiple pages into a single PDF? I needed to unclick the box "Use Custom Size". That made the "Scan" button available even in "Show details" mode, and did combine the scans to a single pdf. |

How can I scan multiple pages into a single PDF? I just tried that, but still get two jpeg files instead of one pdf. This has been working earlier, I suppose that Apple broke the program with a bad update. The "Scan" button is also grayed out if "Show details" mode, but not in "Hide details" mode. "It just works", please allow me to laugh. |

Reliable custom Windows shortcut keys? @Tyr: it does. I started using that in Windows XP, but continue to do so in Win7. I haven't used the start menu search very much, but my impression is that Launchy is still faster. I may be wrong on that though. |

How to turn a keyboard shortcut into a Desktop shortcut? As I understand it, you want several ways to perform one single action. Rather than making the file trigger the shortcut, that then triggers the action, I find it more logical to have both the file and the shortcut perform the action directly. file -> win-key -> start menu seems less logical than file -> start menu and win-key -> start menu separately. Maybe it's not practical in your case, but you can consider it. |

How to turn a keyboard shortcut into a Desktop shortcut? I automatically interpreted that the keyboard shorcuts in question were custom ones. The result of my answer is a desktop file doing whatever OP wants, and a keyboard shortcut to trigger that file. That way he can continue to use his (assumingly custom) shortcut, while mouse-trapped users can use the shortcut. Everyone is happy. But I see your point. If OP wants a way to e.g. open the system settings with win+pause, I would say that the correct way is not to have a desktop file trigger win+pause, but to have the file open the system settings itself. |

Win+Space keyboard shortcut doesn't work for me in Windows 7. Why? The windows are only transparent while the win key is pressed. Releasing space and keeping win down keeps the windows transparent. |
