Problem

Right clicking on the Windows Explorer tends to be so slow, since the Windows needs to scan through the Registry to collect “extra menus” extended by some installed applications.

Solution (or, Suggestion)

If you do not want to change the registry by your hand, Lopesoft’s FileMenuTools is recommended. This application lists up all the extended menus and offers to toggle the visiblity of them.

Problem

Where can I find the hosts file in Windows?
I want to add “me-only” domainnames since I am currently developing new web site.

Solution

The hosts file can be found at

C:\Windows\system32\drivers/etc\hosts

Fortunately, the syntax is the same as that of your familiar Linux hosts.
So you can add new entry like,

12.34.56.78     www.example.com
