You can configure Windows XP to automate the logon process if your computer is not part of a domain.


1 Click Start, click Run, and type control userpasswords2.
2 Clear the Users must enter a username and password to use this computer check box.
3 Click Apply.
4 Enter the user name and password you wish to automatically log on with, and then click OK.
5 Click OK again and you're all done.

This feature allows other users to start your computer and use the account that you establish to automatically log on. Enabling auto logon makes your computer more convenient to use, but can pose a security risk.

Sync on Windows

Below is a way to do automatically sync on Windows using a tool and run a script before the Logoff operation.



- Microsoft has a tool called SyncToy (or other one: DirSyncPro)
* create a batch file with :
rem using DirSyncPro
rem Using SyncToy
echo "Starting sync: ">> c:\Sync.txt
date /t >> c:\Sync.txt
time /t >> c:\Sync.txt
"C:\Program Files\SyncToy 2.0\SyncToyCmd.exe" -R
echo "Ended sync: ">> c:\Sync.txt
time /t >> c:\Sync.txt

To run it before logoff:

-http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307882 :
* run gpedit.msc
* User Configuration > Windows Settings > Scripts (Logon/Logoff)
* double click on Logoff script and Add the batch file

jEdit

*Plugins

-ProjectViewer, SideKick, XML, FTP

*How to beautify other files?

- Global Options > Editing > Change settings for mode

-Note the "File name glob"

-Note the "First line glob"

Ex: to have on "v8_config.cfg" same beautify as on shell script, select it from modes list, add "cfg" in "File name glob" and remove the "First line glob" value (let it empty)

-activate Backup : Utilities > Global Settings > Saving & Backup :

* deactivate "Two-stage" ( since we work a lot on Unix)

* add numbers at suffix: remove the suffix character ; set the Max Number of Backups



*Macros->Misc->Hypersearch Result to Buffer.
