If you're like me, you think about these things constantly. "Why is it that Google Chrome installs in the user's app settings directly so that other users on that machine can't use it? Why can't they go in Program Files like *every other Windows application on the face of the planet*?
Well, fret no more. Here's a link to download an Enterprise-oriented standalone Chrome installer MSI. And there was much rejoicing.
Just add ?msi=true to the eula.html page at google: http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html?msi=true
Sometimes you just need to be able to remote desktop to a machine, but you find out that you can only log on once, if your edition of Windows supports remote desktop at all (Home editions don't, for example). Even if you have a Windows Server, they have that pesky two-remote-and-a-console limit.
Well, no matter what edition of Windows you're running you can get rid of that pesky limitation. While I'm not sure what it does on editions that don't support remote desktop, there's a good chance this enables it. For those that do, you can log on to different accounts at the same time, the same account with multiple desktops, or whatever you want.
Before you start making your Windows 7 Home available as a terminal server on the Internet though, realize that not all applications are meant to be run in multiple sessions on your computer. But most are perfectly happy.
Ran across this useful utility since I’m loading a ton of fonts on my XP laptop (Windows 7 already has this kind of thing built-in). It adds a context menu entry to load/unload or install/uninstall fonts when you right-click font filetypes. Nifty.
Warning, though. It installs the fonts in-place, rather than moving them to the Windows fonts directory. This means two things: put them in their own folder, like My Documents\Fonts, and don’t delete them.
I only realized that after I installed them, so I moved the files then edited the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts to repoint the file locations.
It also supports adding a register/unregister dll context menu entry, something I’ve done with manual registry hacks before. That’s cool.
