I'm compiling a program on my 64bit machine, but I'm not sure if it produces 32-bit or 64-bit output.. How can I check if a file is 32bit or 64bit on Windows?
I have a database backup located in my Windows 7 Documents folder (c:\Users\Aaron\Documents...), and I'm trying to restore it using SQL Server Management Studio. However, the program is unable to access anything within the Users\Aaron directory using its non-standard file selection dialog, even when run as an Administrator.
I'm brand new to Windows 7... Is there some sort of security setting that I need to trigger to give programs access to these files?

Windows 8 and Microsoft Security Essentials
Windows 8 does not seem to have the "Security Essentials" Anti-Virus like Windows 7 installed. Also the Download doesn't say Win-8 compatible.
And in addition, my Soluto does not recognize any Anti-Virus program installed. Is there a Anti-Virus in Windows 8 installed by default? Or can I continue using Security Essentials?
(Please no discussion about the best anti-virus software)
I have 3 Varnish 3.0.2 servers with Apache 2 as backends, which are being load balanced through a HAproxy separate server.
I need to find a very simple program (I'm not much of a sysadmin), which blocks requests from an IP, if that IP has made more than X requests in Y seconds.
Would something like this be achievable with a simple solution? Right now I have to block all requests manually with iptables.
Are there any windows applications that serve video from a server's local disk to h264 flash viewable through the browser on your local network?
I'm thinking that on machine1, I'd have a folder with a ton of videos. This program would serve the videos on a website visible at http://machine1/myvids and that it would serve them in h264 and do the h264 conversion on the fly using the GPU.
I know it's a lofty set of reqs but I'm wondering if anything like this is out there.
I'm sharing my PC (Win 7 x64 Home Premium) with a friend, and I wanna create a guest user for her. I don't want her to reach my files, Windows settings, program adjustments etc. She should just surf the net, create/edit her own Word, Excel documents, and simple things like these. How can I create this user account and make the necessary arrangements for limitations?
Which are the registry settings to set Firefox an Thunderbird as defaults?
It can be done with any script or little program or firefox/thunderbird command line?

Is it possible to ban a particular program from waking up the computer from sleep on Windows 7. The media center update is becoming really irritating turning my computer on all the time.
Looking to do my first offline defrag this weekend on Exchange 2003.
Our Exchange DB is on E drive and server1 is the temporary location where there is sufficient space.
Dismount the store and change to c:\program files\exchsrvr\bin
Does this look like the correct command to run?
eseutil /d "e:\exchdata\priv1.edb /t"\\server1\exchtemp\tempdfg.edb"
Is there anything I should be aware of such as backups running at the same time etc?
Is there a way to prevent Windows from going into sleep mode while running a program on the command line or with cygwin? Ideally, I'm hoping for something that could be used like:
nosleep myscript.sh
Background
Sometimes I start up long-running jobs like a manual backup or large file transfers and I've found that Windows often goes to sleep before these finish. I'd like to be able to start up the command and prevent sleep mode while the command is running, but have it automatically work again once the command has completed.
Does anyone know of a program/script that runs on Linux that can give us a nice GUI for browsing and managing shared system folders similar in the way that windows explorer would work?
So would allow, upload, download, file modification etc. It's a way to still have access to all our files stored on the system from any location with internet access.
Thanks in advance
How would I go about embedding a text field on my desktop? That is, I want to be able to type into it, but it needs to sit behind my windows at all times. I know I can use geektool to display text. Is there a similar program or piece of code that would allow me to do what I want?
I am trying to hack together a twitter/fb/chat client which will not take up a separate window.
Anybody know of a program that can detect if you're viewing a video, and if you are, prevent the current power plan from turning off the monitor and/or putting the computer to sleep?
(For Windows 7, or one for Vista might also work.)
Thanks.
When I reboot my machine, it takes around 10-15 minutes to boot. Tried removing unused programs, disk defragmentation, check disk, but I'm not able to identify the issue.
Any ideas to troubleshoot to see whether there is any failure, trying to start a service/program?
I'm looking for a web browser or something to encrypt the data that I interchange with the Internet.
Is there a program to do that ?

I would like to find a program or plugin for Skype that allows you to pipe sound samples in to the outgoing audio stream when you are on a call. Ideally it would have some sort of soundboard functionality so that I could have a group of audio samples at the touch of a button. I'd also prefer something that supports mp3 but wav support will also do.
I've used SimpleOCR, which has a nice GUI for correcting errors. Unfortunately it makes a lot of errors! (and suffers other bugs and limitations)
Is there a free OCR program for Windows which has such a GUI and a low error rate? I want it to show the original (bitmap) word while I'm editing the OCRed word similar to what SimpleOCR does:
Free is good. Open-source is better.
I'm running some lengthy video encodes using the Handbrake command line interface. After all my encodes are done, I would like to have the PC speaker beep, as I usually turn my large external speakers off.
On Linux I would install the "beep" package, but so far I haven't found such a program for Windows 7.

I'm aware of the various options for setting the "run as administrator" flag, and for opening an Admin console Windows. But what if I have a normal console window and I want to run a command as admin? The 'runas' program doesn't seem to have an option that says "please don't show me some popup that I have to click on".
What I really want is something like sudo for Windows.
when using multiple splits in a window I keep looking at the top of the split (window) to see what file is in there. just can't force myself to change the habit, as it is re-enforced by any other program out there. tabs are usually at the top...
anyway, is there a way to put the statusline on top?
I tried to do this with ffmpeg but failed (i also failled making animated gifs). Is there a simple to use free program (command line is ok) to convert videos to animated pngs?
As long as it doesnt dump the video frame by frame into png files and create a monster size png then i should like it.(I didnt see an option to make ffmpeg not dump every frame)

Is there any way to coax Gmail into pushing new-mail notifications into my Linux machine, without using a full-on graphical mail client like Thunderbird?
edit: Thanks for all the responses, but (unless I'm mistaken) these applications all poll, none of them receive notifications pushed from GMail.
Also, I'd prefer a console-based program, as this will be running on a headless server.
Microsoft Security Essentials seems to allow only quarantine or delete actions for program that it deems to have "high" or "severe" risk.
However, it also assigns these levels to what it considers to be "hacking tools".
Is there a way to override this nanny behaviour and force programs on the allowed list?
Thank you.
EDIT:
Here's a screenshot showing the lack of an "Allow" option in the drop-down list:

I am running Mac snow leopard 10.6.3 and I used a mac installer program for git that was designed originally for leopard. I think since then my man pages have been broken and attempting to look up any command makes my computer stall for a bit before returning 'no manpage found.' Where do I begin fixing this? Thanks.
