Andy notes that Google is now indexing Flash files. Search for "skip intro" to try it out. Upon seeing this, the gray-bearded conspiracy theorist in me wondered if Google was unfairly promoting the Flash format over Adobe's competing SVG format in order to crush Adobe into dust. I needn't have worried...you can search Google for SVG files just fine (because they're text files). Of course, you can search Google for...

Ever used the msconfig tool on Windows 98? The XP version is even better, allowing a multiplicity of options when it comes to starting Windows. Using msconfig saves you the trouble of digging in the Registry or a half dozen other places for these settings. Although you can control what programs and services load at startup for diagnostic purposes - as well as settings in the System.ini, Win.ini, and Boot.ini files - I most often…

Anyone an expert on the WinXP file system?: I'm on the same wavelength as Greenspun here, and I've actually pursued this a bit. Using the Indexing Service you can get a lot of information about files, and it's not that hard o re-purpose that meta into something else.

Furthermore, using WMI, you can capture events from the file system — have a script execute whenever a file is added to a certain folder, for instance, or when a file is modified or deleted. There's a lot of untapped potential in the Windows file system. With enough time, you could make a heck of a content management system out of nothing but XML files in a directory structure.

I'm thinking of writing a tutorial on how to use the Windows XP file system as a photo database. [...] the Windows file system seems likely to outlive many of us [...] if you create a document using Notebook and click right on the file icon then select Properties you get to a page where a "Summary" tab is an option. You now have the opportunity to edit Title, Subject, Author, Category, Keywords, and Comments fields. These fields are searched if you use the built-in Windows file search mechanism and look for "a word or a phrase in a file"

If you like the idea of expanded meta information for files, It's the Content is a good system that allows you to define your own meta in an environment that's an extension of the Windows file system. Not that expensive, either.

scannow sfc: Here's a handy Windows XP feature I had never heard of until today.

From a command prompt, type "sfc /scannow" and Windows will look through all its system files for ones that don't match up with the others (if, for instance, a third party app replaced them with older versions). If it finds any, it will replace them off the install CD.

The main reason for using this utility is when you suspect there may be a problem with a Windows XP system file.

Perhaps you get a dialog box appear informing you of a problem with a .dll file, or your program will just not load! It is therefore worth checking to see if there are any corrupt system files using scannow sfc.

Additionally, this is a fantastic article on the utility. Well-written, well-researched, and full of debugging information should you have a problem. We need more tech support articles written like this one.

"sfc" stands for "System File Checker."
