Screen Capture the mouse

18 06 2009

OK, this is rather arbit and somewhat stupid. Still…

Press Print Screen. It gives you a capture of the current screen. The mouse is missing.

Open control panel, go to mouse options then cursor options. Print Screen that, and Photoshop the mouse with some outer shadows.

I told you it was kinda arbit.





WnetAddConnection2A

18 06 2009

WNetAddConnection2A is essentially a WinAPI function that allows you to add/mount Windows share connections (Samba shares if you will)… it lets you specify a comp name, username and password. Now the problem is, once in a while, you may encounter 1219 error. This translates to multiple connections from the same comp to the remote comp – which is apparently bad in Windows. Until today, I used to restart both comps to make this go away. Dont do that. Goto command line, do a net use and see who/what is using the connections. Then do a net use * /delete to remove them all… google more to find out how to remove only what you want or better still, experiment.
