Sometimes while a powershell script is running you want to show a MessageBox with a information or warning to the user. In Windows Powershell no Commandlet exists to show a Message Box.
Nevertheless it is possible by using the .NET Windows.Forms.MessageBox class:-).
First of all load the assembly.
# Load assembly
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Windows.Forms")
To show the messagebox call the static function show(“Message Text”)

Hi,
difficult Windows issue today. A user had the problem that he could not delete a Folder (C:\Temp\orders) , also renaming or moving is not possible. The same behaviour with the command line tools rmdir, ren and move.
The folder was created from Excel with a vba macro.
The error message was: Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk.

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.
