Visual LINQ Query Builder is an add-in to Visual Studio 2008 Designer that helps you visually build LINQ to SQL queries. Functionally it provides the same experience as, for instance the Microsoft Access Query Builder, but in the LINQ domain. The entire UI of this add-in uses Windows Presentation Foundation. The goal of this tool is to help users become more familiar with the LINQ syntax. The tool may also demonstrate to users how to create their own Visual Studio 2008 add-in using Windows Presentation Foundation.

This academic project was developed by two students during an internship at Microsoft France, under the supervision of one of our Developer Evangelists. The project was in full collaboration with the STB International CPE team in Redmond.

Wordpress Plugin-WP Super Cache 

http://ocaoimh.ie/wp-super-cache/  

WP Super Cache is a static caching plugin for WordPress. It generates html files that are served directly by Apache without processing comparatively heavy PHP scripts. By using this plugin you will speed up your WordPress blog significantly.

This plugin is a fork of the excellent WP-Cache 2 by Ricardo Galli Granada. WP-Cache 2 caches the pages of your WordPress blog and delivers them without accessing the database. Unfortunately it still means loading the PHP engine to serve the cached files.

WP Super Cache gets around that. When it is installed, html files are generated and they are served without ever invoking a single line of PHP. How fast can your site serve graphic files? That’s (almost) as fast it will be able to serve these cached files. If your site is struggling to cope with the daily number of visitors, or if your site appears on Digg.com, Slashdot or any other popular site then this plugin is for you.

Password  Control-Bulk Modify for Active Directory

http://www.wisesoft.co.uk/Products/PasswordControl/default.aspx

The original Password Control application was a simple tool to allow helpdesk staff to reset user passwords and to enable/disable user accounts.  Password Control was ideal for changing individual user passwords but cumbersome for changing passwords for many user accounts.  Password Control was extended by adding a "Bulk Password Control" tool to make it easy to reset passwords for multiple user accounts.

I wanted to extend Bulk Password Control further to allow bulk modifications of other attributes – for example, changing the account options (user must change password at next logon etc), updating the user profile path or other common changes that system admins would want to apply to many user accounts.  The "Bulk Modify" tool was added for this purpose.

Password Control still remains a simple tool that allows helpdesk staff to reset user passwords, but it is also a powerful tool for system administrators.  The option to install only the Password Control application is available if you don't want your helpdesk staff to have access to the extra tools.

Kana Launcher is a Windows program that can be used to launch your favorite programs or documents efficiently.

Using Kana Launcher, you have the freedom to choose how the icons to launch the programs or documents should be created. With Kana Launcher, the icons can be created as:

    * Floating window

With this method, when the mouse pointer is hovered above icons created by Kana Launcher on Windows' notification area (system tray), a window which contains icons is displayed. From this window, you can click the icon that represents the program or document, and that particular program or document will be launched.

    * Icon in Windows' notification area

XP TCP/IP Repair-limited internet connection

http://www.xp-smoker.com/freeware.html

Warning: Only use XP TCP/IP Repair on a computer where you have no or limited network (internet) connectivity due to a malformed LSP or corrupt TCP/IP and/or Winsock registry entries. This tool is here to restore basic network connectivity. Use of this program on an otherwise good network (internet) connection could possibly cause you to lose network (internet) connectivity. This tool should only be used as a last resort!

Is Spyware and/or Adware messing up your internet connection after you have uninstalled it?

Has your internet connection slowed down and you just don't know why?

Have you used an Internet Optimizer that just didn't optimize your internet, instead it made it slower?

If you answered yes to any of the questions above, then XP TCP/IP Repair may help fix your internet connection and possibly even protect your privacy.

XP TCP/IP Repair is a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for commands in Windows XP® that repair your TCP/IP registry settings and your Winsock LSP's.
Instead of having to remember long confusing command line commands you can now just click a button.

What is an LSP?

Layered Service Providers (LSP) are small pieces of software that can be added or inserted into the Windows TCP/IP handler by other software. Data outward bound from your computer to a legitimate destination on the Internet can be intercepted by an LSP and sent somewhere other than where you intend it to go.

Delphi 6 (Personal) source code is included – modify it freely for any non-profit use. NOTE: The newer versions are compiled with Turbo Delphi for Win32

DtiData-Free NTFS Partition Recovery

http://www.dtidata.com/ntfs_partition_repair.htm 

Free Partition Recovery is an extremely powerful tool for anyone to use but this statement must be caveated with the fact that with power comes a degree of responsibility.

In other words, use this tool with extreme caution as it can destroy your file system to the point of massive and possibly permanent data loss.

That being said lets take a look at how we can put this tool to good use.

First, the software should be run from a master drive.  There should be two drives in the system, your boot drive from where the software is executed, and the damaged drive.  The damaged drive being the one with the corrupt or missing partition.  Free Partition Recovery is designed to work on Windows XP type operating systems, so make sure that you have unzipped the file onto that type of operating system.
