You can also install Tweak UI which enables you to do that among other things much easier.

[haloboy100]

Oh wow. Looks nice.

EDIT: TweakUI has been disabled by your administrator.

It's okay, I like my Gunboy. It's so cuuuute!

theres a blog i frequently check called ghacks that had a post about a program made in .net that re-enabled disabled reg entries that were caused by viruses etc , they touted the program as "portable" even though it had .net dependancies (they also offer a download with the .net files which come in at a whopping 50mb) We all know we can do the same things with a simple batch or vbs file. well i like assembly too and since i was complaining on the file size for something simple i decided to make the program
so here's the resulting 6.5kb file http://www.whatsmypass.com/enabler.exe

alls you basically do is open the program, check mark the things you want re-enabled (regedit,cmd prompt,taskmgr,folder option) and hit the enable button

let me know what you guys think

EDIT: Original tool (that he was complaining about) here:

Nice
I wonder what that grey wire-like thing in the canopy is for...

[Thaeris]

Blows the canopy apart upon initiating the ejection sequence. As the Harrier may be moving at very low velocities when the pilot has to eject, simple explosive charges to remove the canopy just enough to let the airstream pull it away won't work - the whole thing needs to be blown apart on the spot.

O.o I've seen those wires on other planes... I think it was the F-35; that makes sense.

[FreeSpaceFreak]

Ah, I see. Didn't think of that.

I always thought an entire section of the cockpit is blown off upon hitting the ejector.

I always thought an entire section of the cockpit is blown off upon hitting the ejector.

It used to be like that, but it isn't anymore.

There were a few accidents where the ejecting aircrew hit the opening canopy/cockpit cover, causing serious injury and even death.
- A particularly nasty one was the head of the rear seat occupant hitting the edge of the canopy as it swept up and back and the seat rocketed up to meet it, which could even break their neck.

So in modern aircraft, the top of the cockpit is shredded into tiny bits by an overkill set of explosives before either occupant's seat fires the rocket, so there isn't anything big enough left to do much harm.
- You might want to close your eyes though, as you may well be going through a cloud of glass if speeds are low enough. Sure beats going through a sheet of bullet-proof glass though!

Helicopter ejection systems are even more fun, as they have to blow the rotors off before ejecting.

Can't you just go Rick Click on Desktop -> Arrange Icons -> uncheck Show Desktop Icons?
That's how I hid my recycle bin.

Hey, that's pretty good. What did you use to render it?

Herra has an excellent way of keeping his desktop empty on Windows: use the Classic Start Menu and add additional folders for shortcuts.

On my Mac, I just use Finder or Spotlight to get what I need.

You know, guys, you might wanna try Launchy.    It's PWNsome.  EDIT: Runs on Windows & Linux.. prolly could be ported to Mac, I'd bet. -shrugs-







I use the skin "Spotlight Wide" and configure Win+Backspace to bring it up, with the setting "hide Launchy when it looses focus" checked.

From the looks of it, it does exactly what Win7 start menu already does. I've forgotten what Vista's was like. Probably good for XP users though.
