For a real backup I use disk cloning. Drives are pretty cheap and it makes for a fast recovery. The drive my laptop came with is in a box awaiting the day the replacement drive dies so badly the...

I never got that cloning thing down. But I will certainly reconsider the full time connection and go to a backup schedule routine.

Ouch. Sorry to hear that. 7 years ago I lost several months of family photos because of a hard drive failure and my laziness to move them over to the normal, backed up location before it happened. I...

I tried changing the decimal to a fraction in the table of the hole file. This failed I think due to the / in the fraction. It made the diameter of the c'bore 7.000 instead of 7/16. Matt

Thanks Matt, I'd forgotten about the config option and I'll say it's because I'm away from my usual documentation. On a side note, ever notice the ton of non-text files that are in the text directory?

Yes, I suspected it would do that. I don't know what controls the parameter format but I suspect it is internal.What I am suggesting is trying to add a column with your own variable name. Then use...

We have actually recovered a lot of "lost" HD data by opening them up and plug them back in and when it starts to click, which is usually the head slapping, bump it with your finger and oddly they...
View ArticleCount Pro/E sessions and change background colour accordingly
I'm trying to work out how to get Pro/E to change the background colour on start-up based on how many sessions are running (possibly by enumerating xtop.exe). I thought someone here might be able to...
