HowTo Clean IE7 data by script

Hello,

I just found what I was looking for a long a time. I both use Firefox and IE7 browsers. Private data cleanup is quite easy with firefox and can be automated. But, for Internet Explorer, I had to navigate through different menus (Tools/Delete History/Delete all, check the addin box and click Ok then…). Petri wrote a nice article on his website explaining how to automate this by either a script or a shortcut.

Here is my batch file :

@ECHO OFF
RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 1
RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 2
RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 8
RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 9
RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 16
RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 32
RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 255
RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 4351

You can read the full article there.

How to use SecureCRT with Dynamips

Hello,

If SecureCRT is your favorite telnet/ssh tool, you can now use it with Dynamips !
Procedure is quite simple and is described below :

- Modify your dynagen.ini file in C:\Program Files\Dynamips and add the following line :
telnet = start C:\progra~1\SecureCRT\SecureCRT.EXE /script c:\progra~1\dynamips\securecrt.vbs /arg %d /T /telnet %h %p & sleep 1

- Write a vbs script and copy it into the same folder as dynagen.ini file. The script filename must be securecrt.vbs
#$Language="VBScript"
#$Interface="1.0"
Sub main
crt.window.caption = crt.arguments(0)
End Sub

All is ready now, when you issue a “telnet /all” on dynamips console, SecureCRT will run and each router will be displayed in its own tab.

Gmail tuning on Firefox

I discovered a nice option, this afternoon that allow you to apply skins and many other modifications on Gmail by using scripts.

How does it work? First, install the Stylish extension into Firefox.This is the application that’ll let you manage styles

Then, you have to visit userstyles.org website, and then make a quick search. Exemple.

Currently, I’m using six of them :

  • Hide username
  • Labels box with pretty colors
  • Inbox with new style
  • mail with different attachement icons
  • Remove beta and talk
  • Customize navigation menu
