Explains how to assign a Windows Hot Key Short Cut to the Snipping Tool in Windows 7.

Windows 7 has a pretty awesome new screen shot utility that allows you to highlight a part or all of your screen and save it to .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, and .HTML (.MHT). Well what if you were able to assign a hotkey to the snipping tool for easier access? Wouldn't hurt, huh?

Here's How to Assign a Hot Key Short Cut to the Snipping Tool in Windows 7.

Start
All Programs
Go to Accessories
Right Click on Snipping Tool
Select Properties
Now simply enter in the shortcut key text box something like CTRL+F12.
Ok

Now every time you press CTRL+F12 simultaneously your Windows Snipping Tool will be available. Keep in mind you can do this with many windows programs.

How to Uninstall / Remove Internet Explorer Add-Ons

This entry explains How to Delete or Uninstall Internet Explorer Add-Ons. I read on the microsoft website today that the end user is not able to uninstall / remove Internet Explorer Add-On's. Well you know me, I won't settle for that.

How to Uninstall / Remove Internet Explorer Add-Ons, here is how I figured it out.

Open Internet Explorer
Manage Add-Ons
Find the Add-On on the list Manage Add-On List
Highlight it
Click on More Information
Click on Remove

Easy enough? Wonder if MS overlooked this.

Now then, if the Remove button is not highlighted or it does not allow you to remove the Add-On, this means that their is a program that you installed associated with the Internet Explorer Add-On. To fix this, simply remove the installed program, and if needed start from step 1 of this entry.

Should you have any questions, leave a comment.

M-AUDIO - Fast Track Ultra & Windows 7 Driver

Windows 7 64-BIT Driver for M-AUDIO Fast Track Ultra

So I decided to do some gaming today on the PC. I rarely do it...for the fact that I feel that I am ignoring my family while I proceed to frag the opposing team.

Well today I found out that on my NEW PC that my M-Audio Fast Track Ultra audio / mini is not supported by Windows 7. I mean, sure I have the RPM and I understand that Windows 7 is not released...but what the heck. Shouldn't it at least work in compatibility mode with Windows XP? Dammit, what luck.

The error message that I receive is: This device is not supported by the Windows Operating System that you are running. Typical Windows error, but that's ok I guess. Seems as though M-Audio is working hard to release the drivers soon.

This entry will show you How to Create Lock Restart & Shutdown Icons in Windows 7 & Vista. This process is as simple as creating a shortcut, adding a command to that shortcut, then simply adding an icon to accompany it. Let me show you how to do it with the shutdown button.

Right click the Desktop
New
Shortcut
Enter in the browse location
Shutdown.exe -s -t 00
Name the shortcut 'Shutdown'
Now right click the new shortcut
Properties
Change Icon*
Choose the Shutdown Icon
Ok

* NOTE: If you do not have a list of icons go back to step #9 and enter this in the browse section: %SystemRoot%\System32\shell32.dll

quote:

Windows 7 System Command Lines

Shutdown Command - Shutdown.exe -s -t 00

Restart Command - Shutdown.exe -r -t 00

Lock Workstation Command - Rundll32.exe User32.dll,LockWorkStation

Hibernate Workstation Command - rundll32.exe PowrProf.dll,SetSuspendState

Sleep Computer Command - rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,0

Now you can add these icons that you created to your Aero Taskbar or to your Windows 7 Quick Launch.

If you have any questions leave a comment.
