User Account Control Settings in Windows 7

One of the nice features in Windows 7 is the possibility to tell the system weather it should communicate to you about the changes in your system that applications are attempting to do or not. At home I share my PC with my wife and my children. I surely want to know about the things where as they do not care about these messages. So I can use this tool to sort out for each user.
The tool is accessible through the ControlPanel->AllControlPannelItems->ActionCenter->ChangeAccountControlSettings

Test Your Pages

Some handy tools to check you pageloads:
- HTTPFox : obviously for FireFox, but not available for new version of FF at this time :-(
- HttpWatch a free tool (can upgrade to professional) works on both IE8 and FF as addin. It rocks
- www.webpagetest.org a free website that tests your page from a remote location. They provide three remote location to initiate the test which makes your test very natural.

Run As Administrator

If you have an application you want to run it as administrator you could use the following command for it:

runas /user:Administrator MyApp


For things like Cisual Studio 2008 you can change the properties of the shortcut, and in the Advanced Properties check the Run as administrator checkbox.
