Download “Chrome Remote Desktop” Extension to Remotely Access Computer through Chrome Browser or Chromebook
Chrome Remote Desktop BETA is fully cross-platform, so you can connect any two computers that have a Chrome browser, including Windows, Linux, Mac and Chromebooks.

Mount and Access System Restore Points in Windows Using System Restore Explorer
http://www.askvg.com/mount-and-access-system-restore-points-in-windows-using-system-restore-explorer

When you decide to restore a file or setting using System Restore, all other files and settings also get restored and you loose your customized settings and new version of files.

Wouldn't it be great if you could access the whole restore point as a folder in Windows Explorer and then copy and paste the desired file only?

I have tested this tool on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 beta, unfortunately the SRRemoveRestorePoint function didn’t appear to function as described on Windows XP, so I have had to restrict the use of this tool to Windows Vista and newer (and there is a check in the install and the app

Considering that the article clearly states:
"Its a very easy to use and useful software for Windows Vista and 7 users." I really didn't expect it to work in XP :)

Very interesting, I like the bit about treating existing customers with respect. Probably needs some interpreting, as in 'don't stiff the existing customers.'

This is the very first tweet I have looked at and boy is it slow loading for a slack handful of words.
