If you, like me, don’t like reading all the forty seven options of the firefox context menu just to find the “Save link As..” or “Save Image As…” options, here is the solution: ffchrome Firefox extension.
This extension allows you to customize the Context Menu elements, keeping the menu very tiny and clean.
Now I can, once more, use one of the most useful tools ever invented: xKill.
If you don’t know what it does, its purpose is very straightforward: It kills any application with just one mouse click.
You know when that buggy application which has a giant memory leak crashes, start eating up all you memory and by the time you try to open the task manager you computer is already dead? Well, this is over now.
With xKill you need just to hit Ctrl + Alt + Backspace and click on the bad application, it will die instantly.
You can download the windows version of xKill here. Have a nice hunting!
Recently I began to run out of space on my Windows partition, mostly because when I installed Vista I thought that 30GB for the primary partition would be enough.
That proved to be a miscalculation, even disabling everything I could, like Hibernation and making Service Pack 1 permanent, I was still running out of space.
Luckily I found out that you can Merge partitions on Windows Vista, with no effort at all!
I had an old partition which I mostly used to test Linux distros, so I deleted that partition and merged up the free space with the primary partition, the problem was solved with a few clicks!
If you are running out of space, instead of reinstalling everything from scratch, you can backup a secondary partition, delete it, merge the free space with the Windows partition and live happily ever after.
