I have a few OS-centric comments.
Yeah, I'm a Mac, and that may explain some of my comments, but others would apply even if I was a PC, which I am from 9-5. The Mac in me says [rant] what's up with all the Windows selections that dominate the first items in this article, and with the Windows specific categories towards the end of the article? [/rant] When I see Windows apps dominate I wonder what role is played by the fact that there are more PCs than Macs.
The Windows specific entries towards the end trigger the same reaction, only it feels like my Mac nose is being rubbed in it. If it looks like I am being too PC (as in politically correct) here please note that I am not calling for equal time, or for authors to disregard or factor out the fact that there are more PCs than Macs. Yeah, I said nothing about Linux in all of this. How to edit open and save locations in Windows with PlacesBar. How to run Windows on your Mac with Virtual Box. Virtualization seems to be one of the great buzzwords these days. Everyone wants to be running an operating system other than their own. My first experience with this sort of thing was trying to run Linux alongside Windows XP using VMware.
My second was with Parallels, running XP on my Mac. The big problem with those two programs is the cost. There’s a free trial of Parallels and a free VMware player, but that’s not what I was looking for. I wanted a full version piece of software that would cost very little or nothing. First off, what is virtualization? Installing the guest OS The industry term for the operating system you’ll be running on a virtual computer is ‘Guest OS’. The name you’d like to give it. The OS type. The amount of your system memory you’d like to allocate to the virtual machine when it’s running. For XP, I find 512M works great, for Vista you’ll need 1G. What type/size hard drive you’d like. As for size, I chose the OS default which is 10G for XP and 20G for Vista. How to create new folders faster avec MdAxel.

Hazel. @TomFrost, I agree with your frustration at derogatory comments directed at the Mac community, but it's worth noting that Ninja himself offered none. The group of non-Mac users is quite large. Large enough to include those who criticize the Mac platform and those who want its advantages ported to Windows as separate entities. Your point is well taken, but I'd just like to suggest that Ninja did nothing wrong here. Now, for the rest of you who do see fit to mock Apple all the time, remember that the MS community tends to be large and slow-moving.

How to get informative file tooltips with InfoTag Magic. A typical shell extension is meant to help a user work with a category of files. Let's suppose you're mainly interested in audio files (MP3, WMA, Monkey's Audio, Ogg Vorbis and so on), but there is no system-provided way to know about the title of a song, artist or album it belongs to.
If you manipulate audio files extensively, then this shell extension can be really helpful for you. The first solution that comes to mind is to add a new property page for these files. Actually, this isn't a very elegant approach since the user have to right-click, select the Properties menu item, and choose the correct tab to read the information. A much better way of getting the same result is by using infotips. An infotip is a short bit of text that a tooltip control displays when the mouse hovers over a file of a certain type. InfoTag Magic tells you the title, artist, album, duration, year and other information stored in the ID3 (MP3), Windows Media Audio, Monkey's Audio or Ogg Vorbis tags. Note.
