Modifying value of "Rating" column within Explorer for arbitrary file types
Basically, I have a large body of assorted media (text, images, flash files, archives, folders, etc...) and I'm attempting to organize it. Windows Explorer has a rating column, but there seems to be no way to modify the rating of the files short of opening them in their type-specific software (e.g.…
Sound quality in bluetooth headphones doesn't change to high
My Bluetooth headset Philips SHB6610 has several profiles. It can work as low-quality sound headset (HFP) and high-quality sound headphones (A2DP).

Windows 7: how can I add an IP range in the "route" command?
I'm using two network connections, and I tried using the "route" command so that when I access a specific internal IP on my LAN, it would use connection 1, anything else would go normally through connection 2 (which doesn't have access to my LAN). The problem is I have a bunch of internal IP's that…
Persisting right click menu highlight
I used to have this problem sometimes in Vista, but now I'm using Windows 7 (it was a clean install, reformatted hard drive) I'm disappointed that it's happening again. Basically what happens is sometimes when I right click on something and click an entry in the context menu, the highlight from ent…

Windows 7 - Wireless connection before login possible?
Is there a way for Windows 7 to connect to a wireless network before a user has logged in? I have found no good answers to this question elsewhere.

Firefox: This connection is untrusted + Behind corporate firewall
I've seen some similar issues strewn throughout Google's results about this, but none seem to be corporate-specific. I continually get the 'This connection is untrusted' screen every time I attempt to log into a secure site...for instance Gmail. This is pretty annoying as sometimes I have to go thr…
2.5" SSD in a 3.5" desktop drive bay normal?
I'm a little out of touch with modern desktop builds, but I recently built a new machine anyway. I want to pick up a SSD for my I/O intensive apps (EverQuest 2 and Flash CS4 mostly), but I'm having trouble finding any in the 3.5" form factor. Is this expected, or do I fail at product search? And, i…
How to Sync Thunderbird Contacts with Gmail Contacts
I have thunderbird 3.0 with the Zindus plugin. However it seems that Zindus syncs one way. For example I type a new email address into thunderbird and then go to my gmail account and it has no record of this contact. So is there a plugin or some setting that will make Zindus work both ways?

I have a 500GB drive which is about 50GB full. I got a 80GB SSD, which has 74.5GB of available space. I want to clone the system drive onto the SSD. DriveImage XML will not let me copy a larger drive to a smaller one.
What FLOSS DB design tool for Linux would you recommend?
I want to find a relational DB design tool for Linux, that could export DB schema for MySQL, SQLite and PostreSQL at least. And it should be handy, of course. Good-looking GUI is also a plus ;-) I use Gnome, but KDE tools are interesting too.
How do I stop VMware player from resizing?
I just downloaded VMware player (I used to use Virtual Box, but I needed Windows Aero, and vbox doesn't support that yet) But it will automatically resize the guest when I resize the window, and I do not want that. I did not see an option to turn it off. Does anyone know?
How to obtain the result of a chemical reaction given two components?
For example, I enter "N2 + H2" and it gives me "N2 + H2 → NH3". Or "C10H8 + O2" and it shows "C10H8 + O2 → CO2 + H2O". I don't need coefficient calculator, where I type full reaction and it calculates coefficients (marked bold in next example): C10H8 + 12 O2 = 10 CO2 + 4 H2O.
