I found that using Remote Desktop copy/paste file function was extremely slow.

Solution: click start>>run>> type %temp%
delete all files . Do this on both pc’s and next thing you know you are back to normal.

Eric :
I agree with Jared. I mean, this is the kind of standard feature in programs like Dreamweaver since…I don’t know…1998.
I mean, really, you can’t search and replace multiple lines of text any easier than this?
Here’s a better way: Open up your site in Dreamweaver, use its find-and-replace..then close Dreamweaver and re-open VS. Tada! No regular expressions writing.

Eric, you are a genius. and I am a fool. Why did I not think of it?

Thanks! It worked when killing rdpclip.exe via the task manager (i.e. Start -> Run -> “taskmgr’) and restarting it using the command line (i.e. Start -> Run -> “rdpclip.exe’)

Comment on Screen Protector Review: InvisibleShield vs ScreenPatronus by Fierfly

Hey, just wanted to vent several issues I had with ScreenPatronus (for those of you who wandered onto this page and now confidently feel that these screen protectors are the ones for you). I own a Samsung Caliber and went to ScreenPatronus’ website to order a set after reading promising reviews like this one. First off, they don’t tell you what mobile phones they provide screens for. Instead, they claim to have screens for “All the latest models” and simply ask that you tell them which one you own–after which you may conveniently supply them with your credit card info and submit your $12.49 order. Once I had done this, I never got any sort of confirmation email from them regarding my order–this bothered me a little bit, but I waited patiently anyway. After about a week and half, I never received the screens, nor any email from them, so I decided to contact them regarding the shipment status of my protectors. I got a reply from them soon enough, telling me that they had emailed me before about not having the protector for my phone (which is definitely not true, I meticulously combed through my inbox and found no evidence of said email). They offered to send me a set of universal cut-to-fit ones and included an extra set for my hassle. I appreciated this and agreed to their offer. I then received them promptly and couldn’t wait to cut and apply them. But it turns out that just one of these universal screen protectors wouldn’t be large enough to modify so that it may cover my phone’s screen in its entirety (I’d have to cut two protectors into segments and re-assemble them on the screen for a complete fit)–mind you, the Caliber’s screen is actually smaller than the iPhone’s. This task, of course, wasn’t going to be easy, nor was the end product going to look very nice when I was done. Anyways, this “project” ended up taking over an hour and I have NOTHING to show for it. All four screen protectors were ruined in the process and my phone’s stock screen protector is back on. There’s no doubt that the quality of these screens are great, BUT (!) you NEED to find out for SURE that they have custom screens for your phone, otherwise it is quite clearly a waste of time and money. Thanks for reading.

Fully agree with Jared and Eric. This is pathetic.
