NOTE TO MYSELF! Update colors.db to an actual version I already wrote about magnificent Far Manager [in the past] . It is ridiculously fast orthodox text file manager, which can deliver Linux-like experience to your Windows 7 machine. Version 3.x is way more advanced than Linux’s [Midnight Commander] . Since i spent quite much time in appointed file manager and even caught myself couple of times doing coding works right in the internal editor instead of VS Code… And then i thought: “why don’t i make my spending time in the environment more pleasant for my eye”.

I’ve mentioned before how much I adored [WWF WrestleMania] growing up. For me personally, it outshone Mortal Kombat even despite MK’s massive acclaim because of it’s richer combo system and buttery-smooth animations that made every move feel quite impactful. S [DOWNLOAD IT HERE] Enjoy the game!

Note that this is ALPHA, test it in VM please, drop your suggestions at [Github] ! Windows 7 Premium Assurance is coming to an end in January 2026, so i’m considering Windows 8.1 migration. That is why i have decided to make an ultimate debloating script for Windows 8.1, which will be supported until October 2026. Ok, some preface words to clean things up a bit. I’ve done this configuration for my personal specific needs.

I am not a frequent user of windows explorer, since i am using [Far Manger] as a complete replacement with way broader functionality. But recently i’ve stumbled upon very unusual feature of file explorer and i bet that most of you don’t even know about such thing. Do you know that you have an option to launch executables with assigned parameters, pretending that you are already in the command line?

Shutting down computer without actually doing something useful is quite lame. So i’ve decided to implement a nice addition in the face of junk removal. @echo off echo Cleaning up temporary files in %TEMP% folder... echo. set "tempfolder=%TEMP%" cd /d "%tempfolder%" :: Delete all files and folders in TEMP (including read-only and hidden) del /q /f /s *.* >nul 2>&1 for /d %%x in (*) do rd /s /q "%%x" >nul 2>&1 echo.

Today i’m not planning any fancy stuff, just a plain USB drive ejector at your disposal. Script ejects all connected flash drives. If drive is in use or some software is locking flash drive it won’t be ejected [obviously]. @echo off setlocal enabledelayedexpansion set "drivelist=%temp%\usb_drives_list.txt" del "%drivelist%" >nul 2>nul for /f "skip=1 tokens=1" %%D in ('wmic logicaldisk where "drivetype=2" get deviceid') do ( if exist "%%D\" ( echo %%D>>"%drivelist%" ) ) if not exist "%drivelist%" ( echo No flash drives found!

When doing webdev tasks, I often run into situations where browsers start to glitch due to a stuck cache. Page elements do not being update properly and reload [F5] or even magic [CTRL+F5] does not work at all. Here are two simple batch scripts to hard reset the system cache for Firefox and Chrome based browsers. @echo off taskkill /IM chrome.exe /F >nul 2>&1 || echo Chrome is not running timeout /t 2 /nobreak >nul rmdir /s /q "C:\Users\YOUR-PROFILE-NAME\AppData\Local\Supermium\User Data\Default\Code Cache" rmdir /s /q "C:\Users\YOUR-PROFILE-NAME\AppData\Local\Supermium\User Data\Default\Cache" start "" "%ProgramFiles%\Supermium\chrome.

Today we are going to make a deep dive into advanced file management and automation. There are several scenarios for copying files from external storage that are described here. ► COPY SPECIFIC FILE TYPES FROM MULTIPLE FOLDERS ON ANY EXTERNAL DRIVE TO THE LOCAL HARD DRIVE This script will copy ALL JPG FILES from folders TEST1 and TEST2, which are located on any flash-drive to folder 1234 located on local drive C.

Have you ever been pissed off by loads of junk folders like “Music”, “Pictures”, “Movies”, “DCIM”, “LOST.DIR” on sd-cards and OTG flash drives that are created by Android? There is no easy way to avoid their creation, because this “feature” is hardcoded into Android core. Of course we can root the phone and hack the system by means of Xposed framework or something similar, but we won’t do it today.

First things first. I often need to copy substantial amount of photos from my phone. It can’t be done via Windows GUI without millions of mouse clicks or keystrokes. Here you will find a solution on how to do this in a proper way. The key tool for this will be [ADB] , developer tools for Android. Wishes: command line, batch, no file explorer, no mouse, no clickety-clack. Sicking tired of all of these not-so-precise-instructions i’ve decided to make my own.

As a hardcore user of [dual-panel orthodox file manager] i always suffered because of sucky look of default console fonts. Native preloaded font list has quite scarce selection, if you ask me. To fix such disappointment you’ll need: install desired fonts by means of windows control panel copy EXACT FONT NAME fonts section in control panel paste it into registry key into following branch HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Console\TrueTypeFont note that every new subsequent font should be added by a key with added one zero to registry key name reboot computer to apply & enjoy!

Lightning fast text two-panel orthodox file manager with loads of functionality. These blue panels take very special place in my heart. Maybe because i’m using software right from the mid 90s. Still under active development. 64-bit version is preffered. [DOWNLOAD FAR MANAGER]

UPDATED ON: 2024-09-06 Added two history videos. Not many people know about Japanese console [Neo Geo] . It was pretty powerful and brought arcade machine quality to home gaming. Pulse-pounding and jaw-dropping action scrollers were a calling card of Japanese gaming device. Comparatively to more common [Super Nintendo] and [MegaDrive] it was advertised as console with 24-bit GPU bus, which allows very big 2D-sprites, supporting up to 4096 colors. By release time [31 Jan 1990] it was super impressive.

UPDATED ON: 2025-05-26 I use these automation on daily basis to improve my workflow. All batch files are tested under Windows 7 x64. ► SHUTDOWN PUTER AND CLEAN TMP FOLDER @echo off echo Cleaning up temporary files in %TEMP% folder... echo. set "tempfolder=%TEMP%" cd /d "%tempfolder%" :: Delete all files and folders in TEMP (including read-only and hidden) del /q /f /s *.* >nul 2>&1 for /d %%x in (*) do rd /s /q "%%x" >nul 2>&1 echo.

Software is not perfect. Windows, Linux or any other OS. It doesn’t really matter. In this quick note, I will talk about Windows operating system. For basic deleting of stucked files big chance that you are already using utility like Unlocker or smth. However, some time ago Unlocker was caught in spreading malware, so no trust to this application anymore. As for me, I prefer [Lock Hunter] instead. And what about frozen processes?
