For all you advanced IT Administrator/Consultant guru’s out there, your going to love this little gem.

How many times have you found yourself having to manually type in a path to a file? A lot – I know- been there and felt that.

CopyPath is a shell extension that copies the full path names of selected files in Windows Explorer.

One of the things I hate the most about Internet Explorer  the auto installation of program and functions I didn’t ask for. Basically the additional security problems they present without asking the user.

Leave it to Microsoft to inject more of these poisonous practices in the name of good intentions. I think everything they screw up is in that category.

Well, I’m a victim as much as the net guru, or noobie, but I allowed Microsoft to install it’s .NET framework and I didn’t even notice. And then I found this post.

With Microsoft you can’t figure out from day to day what they’re doing, but looks like they have decided to ramp up the release date of Windows 7.

It’s no great secret they are racing the clock, literally watching the seconds crash away as they loose money on Microsoft Vista. With the layoffs at Microsoft, I’d say those are the same stupid SOB’s who programmed Vista to begin with.

At Microsoft TechEd North America 2009, Microsoft today announced that Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 will both be available to customers in time for the holiday shopping season. Previously, Microsoft’s official stance was that Windows 7 would be available no later than three years after the general availability of Windows Vista, meaning January 30, 2010. Based on the steady development of the OS though, many have predicted that Windows 7 would arrive earlier. Windows Server 2008 R2 was expected to arrive sometime after Windows 7, but now Microsoft has noted that the server OS will actually arrive in the same timeframe as its client counterpart. The Release Candidate builds for both operating systems went public last week.

The market predictions for Windows 7 has been greatly received and while the IT guru’s of the world have no great interest in upgrading to Windows 7 anytime soon, surely the growing pains Vista has trampled and stumbled through will make it easier for the next Operating System to gain some running room.

Keep your eyes peeled and watch for the rush to the computer stores for uber-geeks to get their hands on v7. We can expect so many horror stories and updates your head will spin.

It should be a early geek Christmas for some…
