How to install Flash in Firefox without Administrator permissions

1. Download the XPI archive of the Flash Player Plugin to your hard disk (right click on the download link then "Save link as.."). XPI archives are only ZIP files containing the files used by the plugins.
2. So you can safely rename the file you just downloaded, called flashplayer-win.xpi, into flashplayer-win.zip (you are changing its extension from .xpi to .zip)
3. Extract the files in the archive. You can use any program capable of opening .zip files (WinZip, WinRAR or the free and great 7-zip). There are also websites which can uncompress archives: wobzip.org.
4. Copy the files flashplayer.xpt and NPSWF32.dll to %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Plugins\
   • %APPDATA% is not a real folder. It's an alias. By inserting it in your windows explorer address bar, you'll be redirected to the real folder which holds your applications profiles and settings. The location of this folder depends on various setting that's why we need the alias and not an absolute path.
   • You can open this folder simply choosing "Start → Run → Type in %APPDATA% → OK".
   • In case you don't have a Plugins folder you can create one and place your files there.
5. Restart Firefox

CSS - Stop text wrap around picture that floats left or right

Some of the most frustrating moments I had when I was learning CSS layouts revolved around the "clear" attribute. Clear makes your content stop wrapping around div's or pictures that are floating to the right or to the left.

Just put picture in one div and text in another one and format your text div like this:

[div style="clear: both;"]

YOUR TEXT

[/div]

Skip Logon screen in Windows XP

Windows security updates are undeniably a good thing, but they can be pesky at times. One of the oddities is that after a couple of the patches your computer will no longer go straight to the desktop at bootup, but will display the Logon screen. This can be especially annoying since most machines have only one user account on them. These are the few steps it takes to have Windows XP skip the logon screen and booting straight to your desktop.

1. Click Start -> Run
2. Type or copy-paste: control userpasswords2
The window shown below should appear.

3. DO NOT UNCHECK ! the box that says "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". You have to highlight the default user account first, and then uncheck the box.

Windows will autoboot to whatever account is highlighted when you uncheck the box. On the picture above, I have selected my account, drow.

4. After you have selected your account and unchecked the box, click OK.

5. Dialog window "Automatically Log On" will pop up. Don't enter a password and click OK.

Windows XP now knows what account you want as the default and it will automatically load that account.
