Open Command Window Here Win7


The old XP "Power Toy" Open Command Window Here became a menu option in the Windows 7 Explorer (the desktop file explorer for "Computer" or "Documents" etc.) but you must do more than Right-Click on a folder to Open Command Window Here — you must SHIFT-RIGHT-CLICK to be offered that super-user pop-up menu option.

Oh, had the web only embraced MIT Curl as Markdown+Styles+Scripts ! #MSS

Pale Moon Browser


I have been running tests on the Pale Moon alternative Firefox build and I am very pleased.

Pale Moon is recovering memory after Tools | Clear Recent History which is a welcome change.

This build may be the answer for any netbook running an Atom processor with the Windows 7 starter version.

The wikipedia article on Pale Moon is here.
