I feel certain there will be many more of these as my playing with Windows 7 turns to serious usage.
For my first tip I want to talk about the run box. It’s no longer the run box you love and used daily – well I did. One thing you can’t obviously do anymore is run a command in “administrator mode” – well, yes you can.
As an example type “cmd” (without the quotes) into your Win7 run box but instead of automatically hitting enter resist and instead use Ctrl+Shift+Enter. This will throw up the User Account Control (aka UAC) box – simply accept and you now have a cmd session with administrator privileges.
As Aleksandr, chief meerkat says: “Simples“.
Whilst we’re in the cmd session, how about a command line tool to convert any PNG you have to an icon? then look no further than png2ico.
More anon.
For icon conversions I use this website – http://www.convertico.com/
