Registry (Windows autologon, colors)

How to do it trough the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
String Value: DefaultUserName=domain/Administrator
String Value: DefaultPassword=up...
String Value: AutoAdminLogon=1

also possible is DefaultUserName=username

If you have a color problem from Remove server client (Ubuntu):

XP Mode with 32 bit color + integration is possible!
I found an easier way to get 24 bit colors with integration on here.
1. Run regedit in XP.
2. Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Terminal Services].
3. Add a DWORD Value named "ColorDepth" w/o parenthesis.
4. Right-click it, modify, then put "4" in the Value data.
5. Restart XP mode / Reboot

SVN survival kit

> Hello, somehow when I update the repository, another username/password is being use.

Tortoise SVN | Settings | Saved Data | Authentication Data | Clear

That will clear the stored information, and you will be prompted for
it the next time it's needed.

Other useful commands:
- svn list svn://whatever.com
- svn status --show-updates --verbose | sort -k 2rn | less
- svn log --verbose --limit 10
- svn status -u (same as --show-updates, svn status usually doesn't check the repository, except when using -u, it just add a * when a file needs updating)
- delete directory
- - svn delete directory
- - svn ci -m " " directory

tagging
- svn copy -m " " svn://192.168.0.1/seng/trunk/ svn://192.168.0.1/seng/tags/2.4/
- svn move -m " " svn://192.168.0.1/seng/tags/2.4/trunk svn://192.168.0.1/seng/tags/2.4/2.4.0.a1
