Several years back, I innocently tried to write a little app to save my tactically placed desktop icons because I was sick of dragging them back to their locations when some event reset them. I gave up after buring WAY too much time having failed to find a way to query, much less save and reset, my icons' desktop position. Anyone know ...

Hi ... It seems like something like this should exist, but I have never heard of it and would find such a utility to be incredibly useful. Many times, I develop applications that have a database backed - SQL Server or Oracle. During development, end users of the app are encouraged to test the site - I can verify this by looking for entr...
I've been browsing revision 1.38.0 of the Boost libraries, in an attempt to decide if there are enough jewels there to justify negotiating my company's external software approval process. In the course of writing test programs and reading the documents, I've reached a couple conclusions of course, not everything in Boost will ever be o...
I have a few ideas I would like to try out in the Disk Defragmentation Arena. I came to the conclusion that as a precursor to the implementation, it would be useful, to be able to put a disk into a state where it was fragmented. This seems to me to be a state that is more difficult to achieve than a defragmented one. I would assume t...
As programmers, we typically HATE repeating operations. I find myself writing little programs every once in a while to help me with mundane tasks. I might take an hour to write a little console app to perform a task that normally takes me 5 or 10 minutes, but I use it probably once a week, so it saves me time (and arguably more important...
Does a free general purpose ASN.1 Decode/Dump/Inspect program exist? I have a suspect ASN.1 block which may have failed decryption, and I would like to inspect it to see it it appears valid, and if so what elements it contains. ...
In short: Is there a utility for Windows XP that will force a window to be fullscreen? Why? I've written an application in Shoes, which I want to display it fullscreen (as a Kisok-type thing).. As I discovered with this question, Shoes does not currently have a :fullscreen option (until the next release). So the options seem to be, ...
What's the difference in Java between a utility class (a class with static methods) and a Service class (a class with public methods that provides a "service"). For example, one can argue that a cryptographic object (providing methods to encrypt, decrypt, hash or get a salt value) is a Service provider, but many group this functionality...
I'm looking for a utility that will remove SourceSafe bindings automatically given the location of the solution file. I found several mentions of this tool: http://codebetter.com/blogs/darrell.norton/archive/2008/05/16/sourcesafe-binding-remover.aspx That looks like exactly what I need - deletes .scc files and modifies .sln and .*proj...

I working on a utility app. When I run the app in simulator clicking i image at the bottom flips the view in a flash. But when I run the app on iPhone device it behaves abnormally. At times it flips the view in just 1 tap. The other times it does not bother to react even after tapping the image 10 times. I tried with other utility app al...

I'm looking for something similar to the table creation form from phpmyadmin, but it should simply display a CREATE TABLE statement in a textarea below the form. It should also not require MySQL, PHP, or even a server to work. I want this for times I'm working on projects and just want to whip up a quick table definition. I'll more than...
First of all, great praise goes out to PowerGREP it's a great program. But it's not free. Some of it's options I'm looking for: Being able to use .NET regexp's (or similar) to find things in a filtered list of files through subdirectories. Replacing that stuff with other regexps. Being able to jump to that part of the file in some ...
I'm trying to develop a new application based on the standard Utility template, which has a MainView and a FlipsideView, and allows the user switch between the two with a cool flipping effect. I've used this template many times with no problem, but now that I want to use a UINavigationController on the FlipsideView, I found out a problem...

touch is a Unix utility that sets the modification and access times of files to the current time of day. If the file doesn't exist, it is created with default permissions. How would you implement it as a Python function? Try to be cross platform and complete. (Current Google results for "python touch file" are not that great, but poin...
