Free app lets you add and remove entries from your Send To menu (Download Squad)

Sep 8th 2010 12:57PM If you want a more direct way to access the folder for the SendTo menu, open a Run dialog box (either from the start menu or with Windows key + R) and type:

shell:sendto (for Windows Vista and 7)
sendto (for Windows XP and earlier)

Entering or clicking OK will then bring up a window that's already at the correct folder.

Mibbit: Web-based IRC client makes IRC look easy (Download Squad)

Apr 14th 2008 10:03AM Been using Mibbit for a few months now and all I can say is that it just keeps getting better and better!

QuickTime 7.2 finally supports full screen playback (Download Squad)

Jul 12th 2007 12:15PM Unfortunately, it still seems to have issues playing back .mov files for me. It crashes every single time after playing for a little bit. I was really hoping 7.2 would've fixed this issue... (p.s. I'm running Vista)

Shadowrun developer gets honest (or scary) (Joystiq)

Jun 26th 2007 11:00AM While I agree that the game does have some issues, I still think it's one of the best multi-player experiences I've had in a long time. I'm constantly finding myself actually using all of the different races for many different strategies. I think it's great because you really have to think and have good teamwork.

Welcome back Haze, it's time to go viral (Joystiq Xbox)

Apr 20th 2007 12:47PM I'm thinking that the game is going to be released in September, 2007. I'm basing this on the fact that two of the keyword meta tags for the viral site are "2007" and "September."

Lost Planet webisodes 1 & 2 now on XBLM [update 1] (Joystiq Xbox)

Nov 14th 2006 10:35AM Wako, it's a lot more than just that. At least give the single-player demo a try. It's been available for many months now. If anything, the Vital Suits are just a really good addition into the game, not the game's main focus point.

Downloaders Anonymous: my downloading addiction (Download Squad)

Jul 22nd 2006 5:39PM There's a really handy program for managing programs and the resources they install by Atiris. It's software virtualization in the sense that it monitors system changes made during a program's installation and records it as a package. Then, you can basically load and unload the entire application very easily. I guess another way to think about it would be to compare it to mounting volumes/hard drives on a system, except in this case it's only a specific application and its files. The really nice thing about the program is that it's free for personal use. The website for it is: http://juice.altiris.com/svs

Battle with faceplate packaging ends with bloodshed (Joystiq Xbox)

May 25th 2006 10:33PM #13, Definately! I remember opening the shipping box and just staring at the thing. The only thing what would come to my mind was: "WTF? I didn't know they could make them that big!"

I'm still amazed that I survived unscathed.

R.I.P. Xbox 360 (Joystiq Xbox)

May 9th 2006 1:41AM See, this is why I bought the 2-year extended warranty. Better safe than sorry. Only problem is that I've never recieved confirmation from MS about it and, as far as I know, the check that I sent along with it has never been cashed...
