I’m developing a set of Nintex workflows for a project that ID are on and while I think Nintex is a superb product, allowing complex workflows to be developed, and deployed into Sharepoint solutions and on the whole it makes me go "Woo Hoo!", there are a few things that make me go "Doh!". Doh! […]

I’d been reading about “God Mode” on Twitter and decided to give it a whirl.  I created a folder on my “C” drive and renamed it to “GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}”.  The icon changed from the normal folder to the Control Panel icon. Clicking the GodMode folder opens up access to just about every setting that you can […]

Another nice touch is the Aero Peek functionality.  This allows you to hover the mouse over the show desktop button at the far right of the task bar and see a preview of the desktop without actually minimizing all your apps.  When you move the mouse the “peek” ends and you’re back to how it […]

I’m liking the new Windows 7 recently used items list. As the above screen shot shows, the recently used item list is now available alongside the app that created/edited it – recommended

I finally decided to get round to having a look at Windows 7 after reading a few bits and pieces about it on the web and seeing that there were a growing number of Twitter users (@harbars, @AndrewWoody, @joeloleson, […]

I’ve been running Windows Vista on this laptop since about January 2008 and in that time I’ve come to hate how slow it is, how things that I used to know where they lived have been moved etc. etc.  I particularly have issue with the performance of Vista when it’s recovering from hibernation and/or when […]
