Just to share a sample script to kill multiple process in your windows 2000, XP or Vista Option Explicit Dim objWMIService, objProcess, colProcess Dim xComputer, xProcessKill ,xProcessKill2,xProcessKill3 xComputer = "." xProcessKill = "'taskmgr.exe'" xProcessKill2 = "'notepad.exe'" xProcessKill3 = "'iexplore.exe'" Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" _ & xComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colProcess = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = " & xProcessKill) For Each objProcess in colProcess objProcess.Terminate() Next Set colProcess = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = " & xProcessKill2) For Each objProcess in colProcess objProcess.Terminate() Next Set colProcess = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = " &

VBScript to delete a folder from user %APPDATA%

I have been searching high and low in google for some ready vbscript to delete a folder from the user %appdata% When you search microsoft site or most site will return you with this code shown below.The problem with the ussual code below is you need to hard code the location C:\My Documents\Username\Application Data\foldername in your script and if you deploy this via GPO the username will be different for each user!! :- Set colFolders = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("Select * from Win32_Directory where Name = 'C:\\My Documents\\Username\\Application Data\\foldername'") For Each objFolder in colFolders errResults = objFolder.Delete Next The worst part is the script above does not allow you to put in the variable %APPDATA% So i was not satisfied..i was thinking what the f*rk Vbscript is suppose to help us.not make our life difficult.. so i rewrite it.. Dim objFSO, copyFile, vSystemDrive Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") vAPPDATA = WshS

Sony A350 vs Olympus E520 ISO 800

Image
A lot of fanboy always claim the bigger the sensor, the noise level and image quality will be better. Well is this claim true? Lets find out. Here is an image taken using camera: Sony A350. aperture: f3.5 shutter speed: 1/125 iso:800 100% crop if your double click on the image below to view at 100% crop you will notice the noise level is very high for a larger sensor as compare to a 4/3 sensor. The noise pattern which has heavy chroma noise is also very disturbing. camera: Sony A350. aperture: f7.1 shutter speed: 1/100 iso:800 100% crop from the picture below is it my eye is playing trick on me cause i found some sort of banding along side the horrible noise. camera: Olympus E520 aperture: f3.5 shutter speed: 1/50 iso:800 100% crop When you double click on the pics below you will notice there is fine grain type of noise where all the detail is still there. At least there is no color blot everywhere as a result of heavy noise filtering at work. camera: Olympus E520 aperture: f5.6 shutte

Image
All the photos below taken using Olympus E-3 and Zuiko 70-300. Most of the time i use natural color +1 sharpness Iso is a tricky part as u need fast shutter speed to have sharp picture..so i dont hesitate to use up to iso 1000 locating the birds are hell of a difficult thing to do.. i use the following method:- 1. listen to the bird sound to hear the direction of the bird. 2. then try to locate them visually..or can use your viewfinder cause the magnification helps. 3. slowly try to walk as close as possible to them and snipe away!!
