SourceForge Git auto-login in Windows 7

May 9th, 2012 No comments

TortoiseGit auto log-in at SourceForge can be achieved through key authentication through Putty.

  1. The first step is to create a key set go to the putty section from the link below
    1.  https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/SSH%20keys
  2. Now associate the public SSH key with your SourceForge account
    1. https://sourceforge.net/account/ssh
  3. Finally you need to configure Putty to know about your private key such that plink.exe can use it when authentication is done.
    1. Open putty and load the default settings from the “Session” tab
    2.  Navigate to “Connection->SSH->Auth”
    3. Specify the path to your private key in “Private key file for authentication:”
    4. Go back to the “Session” tab and save the changes to “Default Sessions”
  4. Now you are done.

This nice small tool for windows 7 can do the job. It creates a new access point like a normal router which can be used by any wifi device. The tool also allows sharing through a wifi access point while it self is connected to a wifi router.

Symbolic links in Windows

August 2nd, 2010 No comments

To make a symbolic link in Windows 7 use the “mklink” command.

Creates a symbolic link.

MKLINK [[/D] | [/H] | [/J]] Link Target

        /D      Creates a directory symbolic link.  Default is a file symbolic link.

        /H      Creates a hard link instead of a symbolic link.

        /J      Creates a Directory Junction.

        Link    specifies the new symbolic link name.

        Target  specifies the path (relative or absolute) that the new link refers to.

An example is given at this site using-symlinks-in-windows-vista

Windows 7, Windowvs Live Messenger Stopped working

July 30th, 2010 No comments

If you cannot even start Messenger without getting the “Stopped working” message box try to reset the settings in regedit:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger

Delete the value of the keys:

  • AppCompatCanary
  • AppSettings

This should make messenger reset the values and start up normally.

 

Microsoft suggests to do this as well:

link

Delete key UTL type REG_SZ with your email in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger\PerPassportSettings\<Hash Number>

After sign in remember to change your display image.
