Burn ISO in Windows XP, 2003 and even Vista

事緣今日想試下用部vista 既notebook去燒下cd, 諗住vista應該有built-in 既燒碟software. 搵左一輪發覺vista好似 xp 咁只可以 drag-n-drop d files 去個 writer drive 度, 之後就燒 而唔可以燒 iso.

google完之後竟然俾我發現左件好野, microsoft 有套叫 Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools 既筍野, 入面有好多command line既tools. 而我要用既就叫 cdburn.exe

用法如下:
C:> cdburn.exe D: C:\xxxxx.iso

如果你唔係一碌木, 你必定明白個command點用, cdburn.exe 之外仲有個dvdburn.exe 總之就正啦.

之後再講下點做ISO檔案

Remote X -- Windows' Clone

SeamlessRDP, a seamless windows implementation for rdesktop. SeamlessRDP makes it possible to run individual applications rather than a full desktop. In this mode, rdesktop creates a X11 window for each window on the server side. The remote applications can be moved, resized and restacked.

To start using SeamlessRDP, a few simple steps are required:

1. Get rdesktop 1.5.0 or later from http://www.rdesktop.org/.
2. Get the server side component, "seamlessrdpshell". It is available in the seamlessrdp CVS module. You can also download a pre-built binary from http://www.cendio.se/files/thinlinc/seamlessrdp/seamlessrdp.zip . Unpack the files to some directory on the server, such as c:\seamlessrdp.
3. Run rdesktop with:

rdesktop -A -s "c:\seamlessrdp\seamlessrdpshell.exe notepad"
