ExtDesk
ExtDesk helps you control the primary desktop from the extended desktop.
ExtDesk has a button for opening the desktop folder and a screen that tracks the mouse for easy navigation on the primary desktop.

This is another small program that I made because I needed it myself (the Use Case is loosely inspired by real events :)) This first version has mostly been testdriven on a single system so all feedback on how this works on your systems is very much appreciated.  :tellme:

IDEA: Vista integrity levels shell extension

Hi!
A really useful little app would be a shell-extension that lets you view and change Vista's new integrity levels feature on files and folders.  Here's a command line version:

A GUI shell-extension would be so useful!  I'm afraid I've no idea whether this would be a coding snack or a coding banquet to do though...
Even just the ability to view them through a shell-extension would be useful.
Best wishes,
Andrew

SOLVED: Taskbar Displayed Only On <Win> Keypress

blog clipart
I would like the Taskbar to autohide and not popup when the mouse cursor goes to the bottom of the screen. I would like the Taskbar to popup when I hold down the <Win> key. IOW, I don't want <Win> to activate the Start Menu like it does by default.

Summary:
  • Windows Taskbar is hidden by default.
  • Moving the mouse cursor to the edge of the screen doesn't activate the taskbar.
  • Balloons from the Taskbar Notification Area popup as normal.
  • Pressing, and holding, the <Win> key brings up the Taskbar.
  • Releasing the <Win> key autohides the Taskbar.
