Increasing the number of "Add to VLC playlist" items

Starting with Windows 7, Windows limits the number of items that can be opened simultaneously. Refer to Microsoft's article Context menus are shortened when more than 15 files are selected.

This is a bit of pain when I would like to select a bunch of items to add to VLC's playlist. Here's a method that will increase the number of items that can be selected and added to the playlist at a time, to 100. For details, see Creating Shortcut Menu Handlers.

Open regedit.
Navigate to HKCR/VLC.mp4/shell/AddToPlayListVLC. VLC has a whole bunch of different file types, this is just the one I am interested in at the moment.
Add a string value named "MultiSelectModel" with a value of "Player"
Press F5. You can close regedit, if you're confident it worked.
Select a bunch of files and see if it worked.

The reg file would look like this...

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VLC.mp4\shell\AddToPlaylistVLC]

@="Add to VLC media player's Playlist"

"MultiSelectModel"="Player"

Detecting MouseEnter and MouseLeave in a control that has lots of children controls (.Net)

Seems like I have been through this before. What I want to do is hide and show something, depending on whether the mouse is inside of a certain area. For instance, I have a container of some sort with lots of controls on it. When the mouse is anywhere inside of the container, I want a link to be visible. I can't simply use the MouseEnter/MouseLeave events on the container, because MouseLeave is triggered when the mouse enters a child control and the MouseEventArgs don't say anything about what control is being entered.

Reading and Writing Disk Images for Raspberry Pi

(What is a Raspberry Pi? It's an inexpensive minicomputer, popular with hobbyists and educators.)

After doing several saving and restoring several images, I have found tools and a method that I'm happy with. I am using these with Raspbian, but they would work with other flavors, too.

How to Run Different PiPresents Shows on Different Days of the Week

A PiPresents pipresents.wordpress.com/ show (we're talking about a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian) can be set to end at a time of day, but it does not have a way to set a day of the week. I have created a workaround for this using the standard Linux cron scheduler and some bash scripts.

Say Goodbye to Windows 8's Start Screen

All of the people I've talked to who don't like Windows 8, don't like it because of the new start screen. You know, the tiled "apps" screen. A.K.A. "Metro" screen.

Maybe that sort of thing makes sense on a touchscreen device. Not on a desktop computer or standard laptop.

This free software brings back your start menu, like in Windows 7: ClassicShell. If you set it to start in desktop mode, you can say goodbye to the start screen! Here's how.
