I recently received a comment on one of my previous posts about the program Folder Menu. I had actually been meaning to post about it – it currently seems to be the best 64-bit replacement for Folder Guide. It is relatively simple to use, and seems to work in all dialog boxes.
You can download Folder Menu from the Sourceforge page here.
Basically, middle button on the mouse brings up the menu, left-click to ‘navigate’ folders within the menu, right-click to actually Explore a folder. If you want to always just Explore using left-click, change the Use browse mode when capslock is off option on the ‘Menu’ tab of the Options.
Give it a go and feel free to post your comments.

There are many sources of content out there, the main ones being Seek and RevitCity.
Sometimes, a content provider will attempt to obfuscate the links to the original files, so that you can’t just come along and use DownthemAll and Firefox to download all the RFAs and RVTs in one hit.
However, there is a way around this – its called iMacro, and it is also an addon for Firefox.
Basically, you can set it to record actions you take using your browser, and then replay these actions as a script. Its very powerful and gives you a lot of control.
A few little tweaks that you might want to add to the start of the script:
SET !ERRORIGNORE YES
SET !LOADCHECK NO
SET !TIMEOUT 100
It has been a while since I made an I.T. specific post, so here is a little gem for you.
Do you find that your desktop gets cluttered and difficult to navigate, with heaps of icons, shortcuts and rubbish?
Well, give this a go. It is a little program that makes your desktop into a ‘List View’ – meaning it is far easier to find things. Here is a direct link to the zip file.
I also recommend you set your desktop to black or a dark image to improve visibility of the desktop font.
