How to run a script on logout/shutdown in windows 7

2012-02-01T12:57:00.001+05:30

I have several mounted (windows share) network drives on my Dell laptop. I need them for my daily work. However, at the end of the day I want to close them and clear up some other stuffs. I can use Group Policy(GP) editor snap-in to assign logoff scripts as described here and a screenshot shown below: But, GP editor may not be availble on all versions of Windows 7. The alternative, I figured

TIP: How to save images from Facebook gallery

2011-09-19T09:49:00.001+05:30

In Facebook, while browsing shared photos of your friends, if you like some photos and want to save them to your computer you would normally e.g. in Firefox (FF), right click on the image and use Save As option. But this does not work as expected. You do not see an option to save the image only. This happens because the image is "hidden" behind script which loads it. To overcome this, do the

Finally, DLNA at Home !

2011-09-15T22:35:00.000+05:30

DLNA stands for Digital Living Network Alliance. In a nutshell, it is like running a small network and sharing data (video, audio, pictures etc) between different devices (TV, Computer, Game console, video player etc) at your home through this network. Minimum you need a TV (display unit) and a media server (e.g. a computer running some DLNA software). No problem if the TV is not DLNA compatible

Programming verbiage

Which is a better style? Style 1: boolean checkNum(int x) { if (x > 10) { return true; } else { // actually else {} is unnecessary return false; } } Style 2: boolean checkNum(int x) { return (x > 10); } Though I find style 1 more often, specially in the code written by rookies, I prefer style 2. It is short and crisp.

Google Search service + Firefox + Adblock Plus plugin

Some websites use customized Google search (powered by Google etc) on their pages. If you try to access search service on such sites using Mozilla Firefox having Adblock Plus plugin (ABP) installed, then sometimes you will not get proper searched results or it may return a blank page. This is because ABP blocks the (third party) Google scripts from loading on the page. To overcome that, you will

An auto-deleting FileInputStream

Sometimes, we need to read some data from a FileInputStream and, after reading it, delete the underlying file automatically by calling close(). This is not supported in java as of J2SE v1.6. However, we can achieve this by first calling close() on InputStream and then calling File.delete(). Something like:File f = new File("c:\\xyz...");FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(f);//read from fis

Remove trailing white-spaces in Eclipse

2010-02-12T16:50:00.004+05:30

Often, we need to quickly remove the trailing spaces (at the end) in the line.

On menu choose Window -> Preferences ->General ->Keys2. Filter the shortcuts for "remove"3. Follow the image below. I have
