Close all open applications with one click

At the end of the day I always like to close the open applications to prepare my computer for the next day. Since I rarely reboot my desktop, I manually close each application. Depending on the number of open applications this can be a waste of time.   The people at NTWind Software have a perfect utility for this situation aptly called Close All Windows. Instead of manually closing each application just click the Close All Windows button on your taskbar.
In this article I will show you how to install and configure Close All Windows on your computer for easy access on the taskbar.
To get started head over to NTWind Software and download the latest version of Close All Windows.
After the file is downloaded extract the CloseAll folder to a permanent location on your computer.  Since Close All Windows is an application I extracted the folder to C:\Program Files\ where applications are typically installed.

For easy access it is best to pin the application to the taskbar. Drag the Close All Windows application from the CloseAll folder onto the taskbar.

Congratulations, you are now more efficient.

Mission Impossible accomplished: Create a CON Folder in Windows OS

Mission Impossible accomplished: Create a CON Folder in Windows OS

Can you create a folder named “con”, “prn”, “nul” “com1″ “com2″ “lpt1″ etc. in windows ?
The answer is NO and YES!
NO because create a new folder and try to rename it to any one of the above specified names, you know what happens! In Windows XP the folder name automatically changes back to “New Folder” no matter you try any number of times.Where as in Windows Vista when you try to rename the file you get an error message “The specified device name is invalid”.
What is the reason for this? Simple, these names represent the internal devices and hence we cannot create folders with the above names.
YES because it is still possible to create these folders using the command prompt.Heres the instructions to create it.
1. Go to command prompt
2. Type in prompt (FOR EG. TO CREATE CON FOLDER IN E: DRIVE)
C:\>md \\.\e:\con
NOTE:”con” can be replaced by any other names such as “prn”, “nul” “com1″ “com2″ “lpt1″ etc.
3. To delete the folder use the following command
C:\>rd \\.\e:\con
NOTE:The folder can only be deleted from the command prompt.You cannot remove it by right-click delete..
