NumberSasthiram 2020 v1.0.0.0

With this program one can calculate the numerical values of one’s birth date and that of one’s name. In the Hindu tradition or Tamil Hindu astrology this is common.

The exact information can be found in the program info. 

The program "NumberSasthiram with GUI" has been extended by some functions and was given a new name "NumberSasthiram 2020". This programme allows a list – a simple text file, names to be calculated each in one line – with several names to be imported and these can be calculated in one go as a batch process.

If Microsoft Office 2016 is installed on the target computer, this calculation can be exported as a formatted Excel file (file extension: xlsx) or, if there is no Microsoft Office 2016 application installed, it can also be exported as a simple CSV file, which can be displayed as a table with any spreadsheet program or a simple text editor can also open this file.

An exemplary list of names (text file) is also included.

SyncUSB

With this tool one can "synchronize" the data between PC and a USB drive. The advantage of this tool is, that one can manipulate the files before synchronizing, what with conventional or with Windows Board's own synchronization tools such as e.g. ROBOCOPY is not possible for a good reason. Since by manipulating the files, the signature (date, name, size, etc.) of the respective file is changed and thus one of the two files (source or destination) loses its right to exist. Actually, the verb "sync" in the context of my tool is misleading and wrong.

Please read the "ReadMe.pdf" file.

Excel Link Fix:

With this tool, you can eliminate the error when opening Google Drive links in Excel, at least it helped me.

Toggle-LAN-Status:

With this tool, you can enable or disable the network component specified in the setting file. If you want to be offline for example, to work with my tool SyncAndroid.

Note:
The Microsoft Windows "airplane mode" feature disables only wireless (non-wired) components such as Bluetooth, wireless LAN, etc. This tool disables software side any type of component independently if wired or not.

SyncAndroid:

With this tool, one can synchronize the data between PC and Android device. To be able to use it, the setting file which is automatically generated during the first execution must be adapted to one’s own needs and circumstances. Currently only video files with the file extension .mp4 and audio files with the file extension .mp3 can be synchronized.

Important-Paths:

If you need to call same programs several times a day, you can use this batch file. Of course, you should customize this file to your needs before you use it.

If you run this batch file without customization, you will most likely get an error message because you are not using the same path as me.

This is one of many helpful ways to work with and on the computer.

Info:
This batch file (script) is more useful when it is called with a keyboard shortcut. In order to call this script via a shortcut (e.g. "CTRL + F5"), you need a program or TOOL/Script package like that of c't (ac'tivAid).

Info about ac’tivAid:

WinUp-Controller:

With this tool, one can bypass the forced-update of Windows 10. It is not advisable, especially in the current situation, to install all updates. Some updates may cause side effects in a special constellation.
In a company, this forced-update procedure does not normally occur because only from the company allowed updates can and should be installed.

Note

• To run this tool Admin rights are required.

When running for the first time, this tool downloads two files (Troubleshooter Packages) from the Microsoft server

v1.0.0 [06^th November 2017]

Update [14^th January 2018]

After releasing this program for download, another measure was taken to circumvent my Windows Update procedure.

That's why I offer this fix. You can delete the service completely with the "Delete WindowsUpdate.bat" script, so that no updates can be installed. With the other script "Create WindowsUpdate.bat" and "Windows Update Service.reg" you can undo the deletion of the service. Only execute the scripts (file extension: * .bat).

This procedure is only recommended for experienced users.

The suggested security increase when patching the hardware bug against "Meltdown & Specter (articles in German) → GoogleSearch" - here everyone should make his or her own opinion, if this is really necessary, with the background that it comes on average to 10% performance losses. If there is also an SSD in the system, there will be further performance losses.

The philosophy regarding Windows Update in general, since Windows 10 is really perverse, as well as the patch against "Meltdown & Specter". No further (written 😉) comments ...

BricksEM and Lauch:

No installation necessary - unpack and use it.

Because my tablet also sometimes runs as a media server and Kodi unfortunately does not have the possibility (or I have not found it) of temporarily disable the windows energy management, I have developed this tool, which temporarily overrides the energy options so the tablet does not go into suspend or energy saving mode and thereby Kodi interrupts the streaming.

Version history:

v. 1.0.1:
Randomizing media files - some TVs do not support a random function (mostly for videos) when accessing shared media files via UPnP/DLNA.

It is generally advisable to back up the system and your own files before installing and using new SW, at least those files that the new software manipulates!

SortWinSM:

This tool creates and sorts the programs in the Windows Start Menu. The category names as well as the programs to be sorted must be specified in the settings file.

Unfortunately Windows does not offer such an important function out of box. If you have lot of programs / apps installed on your system and have searched for a program or an app, you can understand this best. Starting with Windows 10, Microsoft offers the possibility to jump to the desired program with the initial letter - but if you do not know the name of that program, you have through all apps/programs in the start menu.

Furthermore many installation routines automatically create the program and app shortcuts in the root of the Start Menu directory and after each update of the respective program you have to manually sort all categories again, even if you have already categorized them manually after the first installation.

Once you have configured this tool correctly, you can do it all with one click.

This tool is an upgrade of the my script "MakeStartMenu.au3" which you can find below section.

For detailed information read the "ReadMeFirst" text file. I have already compiled this tool to exe file, so one can try it without installing AutoIT.

Firefox launcher is a tool which helps to launch different profiles at the same time or to start the profile manager.

AutoIT

(must be adjusted)

Erstellt kategorisierte Menu Struktur, so dass man seine Programme in die (gewünschte) passende Kategorie hineinziehen kann.

Windows out of the box is not able to categorize the programs in the Start menu like some Linux distributions do it. With many programs, it is hard to memorize all program names. Here a categorized sorting makes sense. From Windows 8, this categorization unfortunately no longer brings the desired effect, as it was possible up to Windows 7.

From Windows 8 upwards, only directory depth of one level is possible for displaying. For example if you sorted the program like this way:
Start menu → Category 1 → Category 1.1 → … → Program

Windows Start menu look like this:
Start menu → Category 1 → Program

You can sort the tiles of course manually, I have not found an automated way till yet.

AutoIT

(can be extended)

This tool allows you to switch between different networks.

AutoIT

(must be adjusted)

For initial setup of Windows, so you do not have to manually set each individual switch.

For initial setup of Windows, so you do not have to manually set each individual switch.

Batch

(must be adjusted)

Put the screen into stand-by mode. One needs an external tool "nircmd.exe". In the environment variable, the path of the file must be specified for the call to work.

Helpful is the program act’ivaid / AutoHotkey. You can call the script by keyboard shortcut.
