This may as well be an "aspirational" (is that word? maybe) project since I don't know if it will work. Some of these sorts of things I do not so much because I think it will succeed or I'll finish it but as a way of learning something specific. I remember around 2005 or so … Continue reading Windows Workstation 2019 (brainstorming)

Folder junction, what’s your function
Classic For the record I am in fact not old enough to get that reference. The reference to the folder junction what's your function not to the Captain America meme specifically because that what's-your-function thing..is..from...a..70s...forget it. I've been planning to have my own emulation setup for a long time now. Actually made quite a lot … Continue reading Folder junction, what’s your function
Windows auto-installing: background and introduction
Note: the below was written and left in a draft state nearly six months ago. It's probably a better idea to delete it and write something from scratch. Instead, I'm just going to post it. It's a little background on my prior windows automated installation experience. Also this entirely about XP/2003. This project is indirectly … Continue reading Windows auto-installing: background and introduction

The "universal" way will work on Windows: XP, Vista, 7, 8.x and 10. On your keyboard, you would use the … Continue reading Quick and easy speed up Windows tip
That’s Some PS (PowerShell #1)

I was doing pretty good with JS instruction videos for a month or two there right up until I wasn't. I had sworn this time it would be different. This … Continue reading That’s Some PS (PowerShell #1)
Windows 10: disable Xbox
I actually had to do this for my work computer (Windows 10 pro). I was experiencing a brief non-clickable popup window that closed itself but was still annoying on what is supposed to be a production machine. I set about trying to find how to disable all things XBox on the system. I did a … Continue reading Windows 10: disable Xbox
Upgrading NodeJS (on Windows)
As briefly mentioned in the prior entry, the NodeJS class instructor revved the version number of his course (resetting my progress but that's more a side note). This new version of the course also switched to the latest version of node for the time: 11.0.0 (in the brief time since, NodeJS has moved to 11.1.0). … Continue reading Upgrading NodeJS (on Windows)
