Before Windows 7, I used send to Microsoft Powertoys to copy a file path in the clipboard.
I had the good surpise to discover that this feature was built in Win 7. In order to use it:
1. Hold the shift key
2. Right click on the file
3. Use the Copy as Path contextual menu
Now you just need to paste the file path wherever you need it. Pretty useful, isn’t it?
If you need another Microsoft Internet Explorer window with a different login session, follow these steps:
1. Click on the start button
2. Go to run and type “iexplore /nomerge” + [Enter]
3. et voila!
During many years, I have been using Mindjet Mindmanager as a Mindmapping tool. As finance are tighter I wanted review the software licences we had and see if I could find some nice and free/open source alternatives. After evaluating Freemind, I found its little brother named Freeplane and I think it’s going to become my information gathering/brainstorming tool for the coming years.
Freeplane is free and open source software to support thinking, sharing information and getting things done at work, in school and at home. The core of the software consists of functions for mind mapping, also called concept mapping or information mapping, and tools for using mapped information. Freeplane runs on any operating system on which a current version of Java is installed and from USB.
Easy to install (on any OS) and easy to use, this open source software will easily replace my old mindmapping tool.
The two features that I am going to miss compared to MindManager are:
