Howto do some things in Windows
Sometimes the Windows 7 functionality to automatically arrange or resize a window while dragging is a pain. This feature is called Aero Snap. Here are good news, you can disable the behaviour :-).
Open the Control Panel, go to “Ease of Access center”. If you are there, click “Make the mouse easier to use” and enable “Prevent Windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen”.
Really short post:-)
To get a offline installation of Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (formerly known as WAIK) download the Websetup ADKSetup.exe and start it – Windows .NET 4 is requiered. If not installed ADKSetup starts the installation – at the first screen you can set the location. When you specify a download path the complete ADK is stored this folder.
Importent: Start adksetup with Administrator permissions, otherwise the option “Download the Assentment…” is invisible.
Share the folder and execute ADKsetup.exe from this location.

Hi,
if you migrate a Windows Installation to another Computer or virtual environment such as VMWare ESXi or VMWare Workstation it could happen that the system won’t start.
A typical error when the master boot record or the boot sector of the boot partition needs to be updated or must be rewritten is when
For all cases you can use the command line program “testdisk” which is part of the most linux live CDs/DVDs to correct this.

Hi,
this posts describes which steps are necassary to add or repair a masstorage driver in an exiting Windows installation.
If a Windows boot ends with a bluescreen STOP 0x0000007B INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE, the system is unable to load a driver for your disk controller properly.
It is possible to correct this and respective, if the hardware changed, to add a driver manually.
The masstorage device driver is registered in Windows at five positions:
An example. Installing the Intel Rapid Storage (RST) Driver. Download the driver from the Homepage of the manufacturer, extract it and copy the files to an USB Stick or burn a cd.

Hi,
some Licensemanager uses the first MAC Address found in system as the HostID. You can use the getmac.exe command to show the list with all NICs.
[H:\]getmac
Physical addresse Transport Name
=================== ===================================================
5C-9A-D8-AE-DC-0D \device\TCPIP_{c6a12685-4aed-49a8-b26b-dce59b81b911}
00-DE-94-17-CA-0F \device\TCPIP_{9f963344-edae-4a42-a992-bb9bc05672bb}
00-CA-BE-17-CA-0F \device\TCPIP_{ad634d51-ccee-43d5-bef6-ce5749b4cdfd}
In this example 5C-9A-D8-AE-DC-0D was used as the host id. Sometimes, after installing a additional LAN adapter or by removing one, these alignment is disordered and the licensemanager won’t start.
These order is indent by the subkeys of
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Each Network Interface has its own subkey started by 0000. The lowest Keynumber is the first in the output of getmac. So order your NICs as you want by renaming the keys(4-digit numbers)
