Keyboard Language On Login Screen Not Set To Default

When installing windows with default language not set to english and changing it after installation you will notice that on the login screen the language is set to the language selected during installation. To change it english you need to edit the registry key HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Keyboard Layout\Preload. In this key you will find probably 2 values named 1 and 2. You need to switch between the values so that the value named 1 will be set to 00000409 which is english. It happens to me when I get a new computer that is from a specific vendor and the OS is already installed.

Drag and Drop Files Order

Check out this interesting question on Yedda


Yedda - People.Sharing.Knowledge.WinAmp 5.32: playlist

I love Winamp and I've been using it since version 2 I think, but there's one problem with it that I keep getting: when I drag files from Windows Explorer to the Winamp playlist, the order of the files changes. When will they fix it?

Actually, it's a windows and not WinAmp issue. If you'll do this with Windows Media Player you'll get the same result. I even wrote an application once that had the same behaviour. The reason it happens is that when you start dragging windows consider the file that the mouse cursor is pointing on as the first one in the list. If you will point to the first file in the list you will get the list as it should be but probably (and naturally...) you are pointing to the middle of the list and the files are added not as you wished.

Hope I helped.
