Some Tips on Vista UAC

Here is my screencast on few tips on Vista UAC  🙂

Autopatcher Project closed !

If you are not aware of the Autopatcher – A single program which delivers Windows Updates (for every month or so) and Autopatcher comes bundled in many of the latest Computer Magazines and also downloadable from the Autopatcher website.

Vista and P4 Machines

Today I got two P4 machines from my department for my Project work and I had told them that I wanted Vista to be installed in them. So, I was given with 1 GB RAM in both and I told them I dont need any graphics card as I am not going to use the Aero interface.

Simple anti-virus/anti-malware tests

Before proceeding, these are not real virus that could harm your computer but just test files.

Thought let me check how good the anti-virus/firewall tools I use were and went on to do simple tests on them.

The tools I tested were,

• Kaspersky Internet Firewall 7.0
• AntiVir 2007

David is doing some rigorous tests with various other tools. So mine is just a very small and simple test when compared to his 🙂

Welcome Windows Server 2008

Its been quite long since Windows Server 2008 Beta is available and the latest is Beta 3. Thought let us explore the new server version and I installed the Beta 3 in my Virtual PC hosted in Vista Ultimate. The installation took nearly 50 minutes and after the installation , Windows took me straight to the desktop as the default user Administrator was not set with a password and the Server Installation doesn’t ask for Administrator password during the setup. But the Welcome Screen displays that the Administrator password is not been set 🙂

The Welcome Screen had many information and the one I was searching for was Adding Roles to my Server and it was there under the Customize This Server option. So I go now to explore the new Add Roles wizard in Server 2008.

My goal is to set up the Active Directory Services (ADS) and join a Vista Business to the newly created domain and authenticate the Users.

Ah..How did I forget this !

Today was a long day at work and was fighting with a DotNetNuke module. I was amazed by how C# 2.0 Anonymous functions work and was ready to implement them whenever I got a chance. So here I got a chance to do that and I went ahead…

Enable Glass Effect to your WPF Apps

After playing with WPF and MacDock :D, I thought let me make it easier for my friends to enable the Glass Transparency in their WPF Apps and thus I have written a library which you can use in your WPF application 😉
