Love shortcuts on your Windows installation? Then you’ll surely love this trick. By making a few registry modifications, you can now have the Copy To and Move To options right from the context menu!

Here’s how you do it. All you need to do is download this registry file. Right click the download link and click Save Link As.

Once you’re done downloading it, double click it and add it to the registry. You will now be able to see the Move To and Copy To shortcuts when you right click any file.

Protect your USB drive from unauthorised file changes, malware, or simply to prevent accidental changes by using a portable write-protection software.

USB WriteProtector is a small (444KB uncompressed) and portable (no installation needed) software that runs off your USB drive and prevents files being written to it or modified. It can help protect your drive from those annoying virus that affect portable drives, and it can also save you from accidentally making modifications to files or losing them altogether.

Just extract the file and copy it to your USB drive along with the ‘Languages’ folder containing the English language file (the original language is German). You can then run it and choose to enable or disable write-protection. Unplug your USB drive from the system and plug it back again for the write protection to be enabled. (Removal is not necessary for removing the write protection.)

For added security and ease, you can rename the executable to anything you want (I named it “usb.exe”) and hide it. It can then be run from the command line like so: X:\usb.exe /on /nogui

Printing a web page could not get any easier. PrintWhatYouLike.com lets you edit a web page on-the-fly and print just the information you want. Sounds pretty good, right?

PrintWhatYouLike facilitates printing of exactly what you want from any web page, minus all the clutter. It’s sort of an online web page editor, if you may call it, that lets you edit a web page and then print it straight away from the Web, without having to install any additional software.

You can cut, add, stretch, compress, and more so that your print does not appear broken, filled with ads, or with any other unwanted content.

The only drawback I found was that you could not save the page to come back and edit later. That was hover solved with the help of Scrapbook (which by the way, has some really cool page editing features we missed out).
