I had one tab open in Microsoft Edge, and it was using over 5 GB of memory. Memory leak much? Yet Microsoft wanted to close Firefox.

Simple powershell ping log with timestamp

Here's a quick and dirty script that will ping with a timestamp, and save the ouput to a text file.

Delay dropbox startup in Windows

Image
Dropbox was slowing down my startup after logging in, so I wanted to delay startup by a minute or so to allow my computer to be usable earlier. The normal settings only allow it to either start up immediately, or entirely manually. Below are instructions on how I got it to start after 2 minutes. I did this in Windows 7, but it should work similarly in Windows 8, 8.1, and probably Windows 10. This also works with other programs, so you could stagger startup items instead of having them all hammer the system at once. 1. Disable the normal dropbox startup.   a.

Lockdown Browser 1.0.7.02 LAB SCCM deployment

This could probably be modified to be used in some other deployment solution, but I've tested it with SCCM 2012 R2 and Windows 7 clients running 32 and 64 bit versions. After 1.0.7.02 was activated this error shows on 1.0.5.14 Install Shield files and installer folder First, you'll need to create setup.iss files. Instructions can be found here:  http://www.respondus.com/update/2009-11-d.shtml Here's their instructions for convenience: First, be sure that Respondus LockDown Browser isn’t already installed on the computer. If it is, then un-install it before continuing. Download the full installer (LockDownSFX.exe) from the Respondus website.  BE SURE  to obtain the .exe via the admin login for your institution since the installer differs for each institution. Run the installer and select the "Click Here&quo
