От полето за съвети: Windows 8 на VMware, бързо търсене в Windows 7 и повторно използвани Zip Ties

Found a nice guide (not my work) that worked well for a ~5 minute Windows 8 Dev. Preview setup in VMware Workstation 8.

I have the “Windows Developer Preview with developer tools English, 64-bit (x64)” running w/o any issues now. I was not able to get the same process to work with Workstation 7, but it works great in 8.

Why bother setting up complicated search techniques when you can use AgentRansack on any version of Windows? It supports Boolean expressions, search inside documents, and more. Best of all it’s free!

Unless one is used on soft material that blocks the locking end when tightened, try this. If the free end of the tie is long enough or you have a free one, take the narrow end that you push thru the locking end and push it into the locking block that’s locked onto the tie on the side that the little “latch” locks into the tang. While keeping a modest amount of pressure on it, tug gently on the tie next to the block.

The object is to disengage the locking tongue from the tang’s teeth that are holding it in place (not to shove another tie thru). Then while holding the “latch”, slide the disengaged tang past. Sometimes doing this pushes the locking piece a little too far, and it won’t engage again. Not a problem, just take the end again and push into the block in the opposite direction to push it back into position again.
