How to print screen with mac which is running Windows

     For Microsoft ASP.NET, I have to have Windows on my Mac for installing visual studio, then I need to use Windows for a while. But there is no such “Print Screen” key on Mac keyboard, so if I want to print a screen or a window, need to use combined key:

Setting up virtualhost in Apache on Windows XP

1.Configuring Apache
     The first file need to edit is the Apache httpd.conf file. Usually, it’s under the root folder where the Apache was installed.
     If IIS is also used on Windows, IIS will use 80 port first, so need to change the port number of Apache server, e.g. change port 80 to 8080

     Then, add new virtualhost

     In the end, need to define the permissions of the virtualhost directory:

2.Resolving the DNS issue

如何卸载Windows Live Messenger

     最近想卸载MSN，但发现控制面板里得添加删除程序无法卸载MSN2009。下面介绍微软隐藏的方法来卸载：

1. 打开注册表，搜索“Windows Live Messenger”
2. 大概会在“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\（一堆数字）\InstallProperties”下，找到一个叫做“ModifyPath”的项，并拷贝该项的键值，大致像“MsiExec.exe /X{A9D94100-37D6-4D7B-A795-BD050BA9602B}”
3. 使用win键＋R，粘贴刚才拷贝的键值，运行
4. 按照提示，就能完全卸载MSN

修改Vista和Win7的用户登录界面

     最近在测试Win7的时候，发现每次开机，默认都会显示上次登录的用户名并且只需输入该用户的密码即可。这种做法比较适合个人用户，但对于企业用户，或者一台机器需要很多用户经常使用的话，就极其不方便。其实，更改这个设定只需几步：

• 1.同时按下“Win”键和“R”键，在用运行的命令框中输入“regedit”打开注册表修改器
• 2.找到键“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System”
• 3.找到键“dontdisplaylastusername”，将其键值改为“1”
