Interesting idea about a borderless button, which is actually a checkbox. the only problem so far is that when the button is clicked, for some reason it shows white background, need to find that setting.

Borderless Button - .NET C#: "- Don't use a Button control, but a CheckBox control.

- At design time, set the following properties:
-- Appearance = Button
-- FlatAppearance.BorderColor = whatever you like
-- FlatAppearance.BorderSize = 0
-- FlatAppearance.MouseDownBackColor = whatever you like
-- FlatAppearance.MouseOverBackColor = whatever you like
-- FlatStyle = Flat"

Enable a service from command line | Generic Geek.Com: "sc config servicename start= auto
net start servicename"

Found that some time RDP clipbook doesnt work since the service is disabled, use above name with actual service name (not display name) to set it to auto then start it. Also for clipbook, you need to make sure to start network DSDM(?) first then network DDE.

Windows XP drivers for Acer Aspire One
512M and 8G SSD will barely work for xp, but as they are only selling this now... maybe I should just wait for xp version and cheaper price. also 1024x600 seems too low, still like 1280x720 and higher for laptop those days.

the whole nine yard is here. even office 2003 leaves some weird registry entry for handwriting stuff, so just remove this key and it wont be available. I mean, the handwriting and softkeyboard wont show up in langbar (ctfmon) when you dont want them.

Control.KeyPress Event (System.Windows.Forms): "The KeyPress event is not raised by noncharacter keys; however, the noncharacter keys do raise the KeyDown and KeyUp events."

I guess this goes back to the typist era, 'backspace' is a character key while del/<-/-> are not.
