zip file from unix

Today i had a very strange experience, i am sharing this with you to save you time.

I got a zip file, big one with many directories.

When i have tried to open it with windows default zip extractor i got 3 directories, although actual there were 10 directories.

When i have opened it using the free 7zip it worked, all the 10 directories extracted.

As far as i know this is Microsoft bug. Who know's, but actually 7zip solved me the problem.

Skype has stopped working on windows 7

Had this once with the current version, 5.3.011.

I think that they already know about this issue and working to solve it.

I thought it's something with the firewall but it doesn't looks like.

My solution that worked for me, founded among many forums is:
Start -> Run -> write '%appdata%\Skype' in this directory, delete a file named 'shared.xml'
Restart skype.

But i know it doesn't solve the problem for all cases, meaning you may have like me windows 7 64bit, do the same solution but it won't work, why ? Don't really know.

Invalid row number (100039) outside allowable range (0..65535)

Lately i got this error while using apache poi version 3.2 but it's still exists in 3.7:

"the poi 3.2 or 3.7 version support till 65535 max rows not more"

Actually, excel 2003 maximum rows in a sheet is 65535, but since than in version like in excel 2007 and excel 2010

the maximum rows per sheet is around 1m. But apache poi still doesn't support this amount of rows.

Meaning, that you need to split into several sheets

Something like this:

if (i>65535){ // or some other number or condirion

    // create a new sheet

    sheet = workBook.createSheet();

   i = 1;

}

Hoped that it helps,

Delete a service on windows xp

A little tip,
Have you ever wanted to have a simple way to delete unnecessary windows service ?
There is a simple way:

Select the service you want to delete, right click over it and delete it.
Finally, reset your computer.

Change IE "View Source" editor

Hi Everyone,
You probably tought about this but never checked.
How simple is it to replace the default Notepad editor within IE with another one, for example the notepad++.
So i have checked this out and look how simple it is:  From what i have checked, it is working also on IE7.
Do it on your own risk:
1) Start;Run;regedit
2) Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\
3) Add new key with the name "View Source Editor"
4) To the previous one, add new key with the name "Editor Name"
5) Change its default data value by pressing right click on "(Default)", then "Modify"
6) In the value add the exact location of your editor, for example "c:\notepad++.exe"
That's ,
Dor
