Changing the Default Search For Executables Path in Command Prompt

I know this is an old tip for DOS Geeks. For new ones, Did you ever wonder why when you type "notepad" in any directory in Command prompt or cmd, Notepad Application will launch immediately?   That's because of the default settings in executables path automatic search. To display type Path in command prompt and you'll see the default: PATH=C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem These are the default Folders in which when you type any command and Enter key it will search in those directories first. Example: Wordpad You cannot launch the application directly to command prompt. To Add new or Append new locations: path=%path%; NEW Directory For multiple Directory or Folders path=%path%; NEW Folder 1; Folder 2; Folder 3 and so on... Type this command: PATH=%path%;C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\ To che...

Add "Disable UAC" or "Enable UAC" to Right-click Menu / Context Menu

"Do you want to open this file, Are you sure? (Really?)" This is the simplest example and explanation of the new security model in Windows Vista called UAC. This feature is still included in Windows 7 in which even the Administrator will operate in a reduced privilege login and all you have to do is to confirm. CONS: Totally Annoying, Your system "feels" slowly and It seems unintelligent but it's not.     PROS: Security Rocks! 1. All the Rootkits and Worms even the new undetectable ones by Anti-Virus Software can be detected. 2. Modification of System Files by any software vendor (even Microsoft) will be detected. 3. IE 7 uses UAC to run in Protected mode that detects any add-on e.g. Adobe flash before installation and Spyware that wants to modify your system files. 4. Protects your Network from Hackers and Trojan viruses (If not yet compromised). 5. You can learn many things... and many more... I know many people doesn't like UAC because they ...

How to Create a Random Number Generator in Excel using VBA without Repetition

If you Google for this terms , there are lots of ways to generate a random number (compatible with Excel 2007 and below) by creating a macro written in VBA or writing your own function by using Rand() formula that may differ in many ways. Rand() function in Excel generates a value >= 0 but < 1 (Greater or equal to zero but less than 1) e.g. 0.22489385 The simplest technique is to generate numbers using rand() function and Rank them. CONS: There is a small possibility of a duplicate may appear. Some people just ignore this and treat the duplicate values as 1st, 2nd and so on. My Logic (Correct me if I'm wrong) :) 1. Generate the first Number 2. Save the number (cells, list box, combo box, or array) 3. Generate a NEW Number and CHECK if already been generated. 4. If there's a duplicate, Generate a New Number again, until there's a unique value, save it and proceed to the next until it is finished. Simple Right? :)   Generating a Value Between two Number...
