Windows 7 on VMware

Myo Kyaw Htun — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 04:45:57 +0000

Microsoft released windows 7 for testing purpose only on last January 9th, 2009. I am one of them who downloaded it. I tried to install on both of my PC and laptop but with no luck. I had problems on both that Windows 7 did not start properly (blank black screen) after successfully installation. Successfully installation? huh. Those problems solved when I install Windows 7 on VmWare. Surprised? It comes with few applications since it released as testing purpose. I don’t have plan to use Windows 7 right now. Thinking of why they released Vista? Now I’m happy with oldie XP and Vista. This is the snapshot from Windows 7 in VMWare.

You can download Windows 7 from Windows 7 official site. Remember that Microsoft limits download to 2.5 millions downloads.

Power Menu: An utility to sent the applications to System Tray

Myo Kyaw Htun — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 08:44:29 +0000

I like system tray because I don’t want clutter windows taskbar when I am running several applications. Some applications like Gtalk, Windows Messenger, Yahoo Messenger have that system tray feature to show in System tray as icon instead of showing in Windows Taskbar. Power Menu is a small utility that can sent application to the system tray. It will automatically add Minimize to Tray menu to the Windows control menu of any running applications after installed. It also has Priority, Transparency and Always on Top features as well. For those system tray fan like me, this is another must have utility for Windows to install.

Missing files-names and folder-names in Vista

Myo Kyaw Htun — Sun, 30 Dec 2007 17:30:29 +0000

I was faced a problem in Vista today. The problem is that all of the folder-names and file-names were missing in large folder view under my drive in Vista. But I can see under sub folders. Strange ? huh. Take a look at the following snapshot.

That is always happened when we hold the SHIFT key while we’re opening the drive or folder in Vista. To solve this problem, follow the steps.

1. Switch to detail view.

2. Hold down SHIFT key and change to “Medium Icons”.

3. Close the Explorer and re-open it again. There you’ll get your folder names and file names back.

update: It is also happened in XP.
