comment How to force a file association in Windows 7? (Regedit?)
For reference, my problem was with having 3 versions of MS Project installed. Not even uninstalling the old ones would let me associate the files to Project 2010.

This worked for me even when all the built in Explorer methods failed. Thanks!

Doesn't work on any window that is maximised, or snapped to half a screen.

comment Power on laptop without opening lid
Some Dell laptops (like mine) specifically have the power button on the side. This is a good idea in the absence of other solutions.

comment PuTTY pastes the terminal selection rather than the clipboard
@Lèsemajesté: That's certainly possible, but I would rather use KiTTY with this xterm selection behaviour than PuTTY without it.

sure, but then select paste and it will paste the selection rather than the clipboard contents. Check out the pic I posted.

comment Turn off change file extension warning in Windows 7
@Synetech: oh yes, I understood that but I was wondering whether you had a github/codeplex/geocities page where I could take a look and fix my own explorer in the same way.

comment What is the ⎋ key?
It's not just comparable to Escape, it is Escape. ⎋ is merely the symbol for Escape the same way ⇧ is the symbol for Shift.

Even a slow laptop drive like the one in your Mac mini is definitely faster than even a high-quality a USB flash drive.

comment what is the hardware configuration required for the mac os 10.5.8 and mac os 10.6.2
@Kendall - all MacBooks can run 10.6, although they may not have originally shipped with enough RAM. 10.6 requires any Intel processor and 1GB RAM; and all Intel Macs can be upgraded to 2GB at least.

I was answering the letter of the question if perhaps not the spirit. :)

Leopard Assist is to help with installing 10.5 on older PPCs. There is no need for a tool to help install 10.6 on older Intels, because all Intel Macs are supported already.
