When customers ask me how they can run Windows Store app from Desktop usually the answer is – You Can’t, but if you really want there is a way to do that. The reason I usually answer is You Can’t is because – In order to run Windows Store app from Desktop you need to install Windows App Certification Kit , this pack contains “ microsoft.windows.softwarelogo.appxlauncher.exe ” file that can run a Windows Store app by his application model id. So if you plan on publishing your app you can’t assume...

Tweet I’ve installed the Windows 8 Consumer Preview and this is amazing! but the only thing annoying is the watermark on the bottom right corner. I know you might think this is dumb, but this watermark bother my eyes… So I decided to remove it! There is probably other ways to do that, Registry and more but I don’t want to change to much things – I know how Windows 7 worked with Images so there is not much different for Windows 8. So here is how I did it: 1. Open run by clicking WinKey + R, and write...

Tweet I consider myself a calm person with plenty of tolerance, I believe in productive discussion and love it – Part of my job as a consultant is to talk with Teams and explain them why you should choose a specific product over another, in 99.9% of those meetings there is one guy that don’t like the change (No One Like Changes) and you need in a calm way to explain and show him the benefits of the new tool – Forcing someone to do something is never a good thing. But sometimes there is no wining...

The reason I wrote this tool was a customer that upgrade TFS and perform a new installation of SharePoint so he lost all his documents, this tool helped me to extract all documents and added them to the new SharePoint site. SharePoint upgrade/migration can be unpleasant and sometimes I prefer to do...
Tweet I know this sound like something from computer games, but not. I was showing some demos on my machine and some one asked me during the demo: What is the “GodMode” folder on your desktop? GodMode is a nice trick I’m using from Windows Vista to manage my computer, GodMode lets me access all of the operating system's control panels from within a single folder. Create a folder, the name is not important. Rename the folder name to: GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} And Walla! Now...
