In linux prompt,we can type !mysql and so on to match a history command to save time.
Is there a utility for windows(XP to be exact) that enables this feature?
I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 Machine with 1 physical hard drive.
I have an exact copy of the hardware of it, which I intend to use a a redundant backup in case my server fails (hardware or software).
I'd like to routinely "clone" my production server's hard drive, so that when it fails, I'll just swap it with the latest clone.
Is this even possible? If it is, what would be the simplest way to do this?
Perhaps the worst-named tool in the *nix world, script is extremely handy when you want to capture all the output of a terminal session.
Is there a tool like it for Windows? Specifically, without having to install something like cygwin?
Hello,
I've installed Windows 7 Home in Portuguese and speech recognition doesn't work.
How can I turn this on or is this not possible?
Thanks in advance!
Is it possible to have roaming profiles for Windows, and portable home directories for Mac OS X be served up from a Linux Server ?
ie: 1 home directory for a mixed environment.
I just discovered that if Windows Explorer is unpinned from my taskbar it displays the icon of the currently active folder. This is what I see if it's pinned
But if it's unpinned I see the current icon.
Downloads:
Documents:
C:
I really like seeing the "correct" icon, and I've noticed this also applies to other programs that have varying icons.
Is there a way I can have explorer pinned, but to see the icons as though it's unpinned?
Currently I am running Solr by just opening up a cmd prompt on my windows 2008 server, and running java -jar start.jar.
This seems like a hack, since if I reboot my server I have to go and manually restart it.
Is there a way for me to automate the startup for this?
When I connect to my Windows 7 desktop computer via Remote Desktop (MSTSC.exe), the options under the Start Menu are "Log Off" (the default), "Lock", and "Disconnect". How do I restart (or shutdown)?
The Switcher in Windows 8 is really convenient for managing running applications, but unfortunately all desktop apps are grouped into one position in the switcher... I like to kill background apps with the middle mouse button, but it's not possible to do with the regular "alt-tab" switcher... Is there any way to have the best of these two worlds - that is the ability to easily kill apps with the middle mouse button but without desktop apps being grouped into one item?
If I open up the list of running processes in the Task Manager on my Windows Vista. Then I can right-click on a process and chose "Virtualization". Not much happens after that.
What does this really do? What can I use it for?
Pretty obvious, How do I extract a background from a Windows 7 Theme file?
I like the background pics from some of the themes I've downloaded, but is there anyway I can get the pictures (background images) by themselves?
When I'm logged into our Windows Server 2003 server, I don't see any ODBC Data Sources, but when a different user logs in (who doesn't have Administrative rights), they have a big list of ODBC Data Sources.
Are ODBC Data Sources set on a per-user basis? How come the Administrator can't see user's ODBC Data Sources?
I have installed windows XP in virtual box and basic operating system is ubuntu
In XP when I put any pendrive it doesn't read that.
How can I fix this problem so that pendrive can be read in XP also ?

I have a Dell D830 laptop and am trying to add a second graphics card (to the laptop dock) to drive more monitors.
It needs to be PCI (not PCI-e), and would ideally itself have dual DVI outputs (although I'll settle for DVI + VGA or even just DVI at this stage...)
Needs to have real Windows 7 drivers, not just Vista drivers.
Thanks!
Remote desktop is... useable, but I'd like to get a proper remote terminal window open on the Windows XP machine, like I'm able to with Linux. A quick Google points at this, but it looks like it's only for Vista/Server.
When using Windows Live Writer, I'd like to be able to select text and press a key combination to surround it with a given tags (like Ctrl-B surrounds it with <b> tags). The one I specifically want to do is either <code> or <pre>. Is there some way to configure this?
I have a Laptop which installed windows 7 genuine. But there are only one partition. I want to install Server 2003 as dual boot. Can I do it without format the laptop and keep the data already in the laptop??
please help me
When hovering a program group, a sneak-preview of the windows list of the group appear. What I wanna do is to re-arrange the item in that list. Please help!
Basically, I want to be able to search for folders a specific user or security group has access to using Windows Search, but I'm unsure if there is such a metadata attribute that can be used, e.g. permissions:[user] (which, obviously, doesn't work)
Is there a way to configure a Windows service process (e.g. squidNT, SQL Server, etc) to start automatically with low priority without manually changing process priority via Task Manager?
When graphics drivers crash in XP, but don't cause a blue screen, windows starts a fallback driver (I think it's 640x480 in 4-bit color). When that happens, is there any way to cause the original drivers to reload without having to restart the system?
(I know Win7 does it for me automatically)
I'm looking for a Windows program/script/command line function that works like Linux's watch program.
watch periodically calls another program/whatever and shows the result, which is great for refreshing an output file or similar every second:
watch cat my-output.txt
or, more powerfully:
watch grep "fail" my-output.txt
I've looked for it in cygwin's library, but it doesn't seem to be present.
Hi
I need to block access by a certain Windows program to specific paths of a web site, but not to other paths on that site. Therefore I think using the hosts file won't be helpful for that.
Is there any way to block access to URLs matching a regular expression or even just those containing a specific substring?
Thanks!
