  • Snipping Tool in Vista/Win7

    Now windows have snipping tool in Vista and Win7.

    You can use Snipping Tool (normally you can find it at %SystemRoot%system32SnippingTool.exe) to capture a screen shot, or snip, of any object on your screen and then annotate, save, or share the image. Simply use a mouse or tablet pen to capture any of the following types of snips:

    • Free-form Snip.  Draw an irregular line, such as a circle or a triangle, around an object.
    • Rectangular Snip.  Draw a precise line by dragging the cursor around an object to form a rectangle.
    • Window Snip.  Select a window, such as a browser window or dialog box, that you want to capture.
    • Full-screen Snip.  Capture the entire screen when you select this type of snip.

    After you capture a snip, it’s automatically copied to the mark-up window, where you can annotate, save, or share the snip.

  • Symbolic Links

    Vista and WIN7 now supports symbolic links, a feature that has been enjoyed in UNIX for a long time.

    D:>mklink
    Creates a symbolic link. MKLINK [[/D] | [/H] | [/J]] Link Target /D      Creates a directory symbolic link.  Default is a file
    symbolic link.
    /H      Creates a hard link instead of a symbolic link.
    /J      Creates a Directory Junction.
    Link    specifies the new symbolic link name.
    Target  specifies the path (relative or absolute) that the new link
    refers to.

  • Fiddler

    Overview

    Fiddler is an HTTP debugging proxy that logs all HTTP traffic between your computer and the Internet. Fiddler enables you to inspect all HTTP traffic, set breakpoints, and "fiddle" with incoming or outgoing data. Fiddler is much simpler to use than NetMon or other network debuggers because it exposes only HTTP traffic and does so in a user-friendly format.

    Installtion

    Fiddler can be downloaded from http://www.fiddlertool.com/
