I'll take a look. I've been using JetBrains dotPeek for a while and found it to be quite excellent.

I'd completely forgotten about this forum and instead posted here[^]  . It's now fully released. I've given it a spin. Seems OK. I guess that .NET Reflector is going to be ahead of the free ones for a while at least.

Putty is awesome, as is Open SSH[^].

What does it do: Saves and restores your window layouts
Why do I like it: Because I hate the faffing about trying to get my windows back where they belong when I accidentally drag them out of position.
It's nice to be able to put your toolbox, properties pane, solution + server explorer, error list, output window and all the others in specific places, but it can be a pain to remember the order in which you have to move them in order to get the "ideal" layout for you. And when I have got it, then accidentally drag and drop the properties pane into the editing window I have to move loads of stuff before I get it back. Perspectives allows you to save and load your window settings when you want - so you can have one setting for your laptop as a mobile unit, and another when it is docked to your quad monitor setup. And it'll let you do it with a toolbar button.
Yes, yes, I know you can do it via the "Import and Export Settings Wizard" on the Tools menu, then unchecking everything except the "Window Layouts" under the "General" settings list, but I can never remember that lot!

Dear all,
I start working in my current company not long ago. This is a small company and does not have any version control software. All projects are small and there is no centralized version control. Or put it this way, there is no need.
I would like to at least version control projects in my machine. My computer is Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium edition. I need to have a GUI to check out and check in files. Beside checking in and out source code, I will check in documents.
I don't mind installing one software and install the 'front end' afterward. Any recommendation?

I use SVN (Subversion)... it's very good and there's a ton of information about it out there (and a lot of clients to choose from for accessing your repositories). A lot people though are choosing distributed repository systems such as Mercurial. I would say find something that fits what you need from the popular ones (since they'll have the most wide support) and try it out, if you like it, keep going with it... if not, try something else.
...and the whole idea that a small company doesn't need version control is well... not very good at all...

Absolutely.
I am self employed, and I use SVN. Source control is an excellent tool, provided you A) remember to use it, B) only ever check in working, tested code, and C) don't try to use it as an alternative to backups.

Well...
A) Should be easy if you use something like Tortoise to interface with the SVN server... since the icons or the folders and files are changed (red "X"s mark the changed docs).
B) No need to... if you know how to use branches, revert changes, and use diffs. Given you've adopted the Trunk/Branches/Tags methodology (which is not forced on you), you can have one of the branches be your personally working copy, and have the Trunk be your main source.
C) Well, it could complimentary. For example, when using SVN, the initial checkout will take a while (on big projects) but after that, it only downloads changes. So you can use it to keep a remote backup updated without using much bandwidth at all (and it's really fast).

I'd reccomend getting VisualSVNServer[^] to act as your subversion server, and then use tortoiseSVN[^] on your client machine(s)
if you are using Visual studio then I would also recommend AnkhSVN[^]
All free, minimal fuss and easy set up

There are lots of free version control systems available and to be honest the choice between them usually boils down to personal taste. You don't say what development environment you are using (.NET, Java, Python, PHP, something weird and off the shelf) but I don't think that matters.
Subversion is good, mainstream, easy to use (once you get used to it), and has plugins to integrate it with just about any IDE you can think of, and tortoiseSVN is a good GUI for it that integrates well with Windows Explorer.
Flavour of the month are tools like Mercurial, Git, DARCS or Bazaar. I don't think DARCS has a GUI available, the others do. Bazaar is popular in the Python world, Mercurial is the trendy VCS to use in Java circles, and Git is the sweetheart of the open source world at the moment. But all of them work well with any language and with binary files like documents or images.
And to echo what others here have said: the idea that a small company does not need version control is wrong, wrong, wrong. Lack of proper version control just screams "amateur" and tells me that their development procedures are likely to be pretty sloppy in general. So well done for deciding to use your own.

Hi all,
Thanks for the information. As I am in a small company, beside the computer I am given and certain key software, I don't expect the company will pay for version control software.
So I will pick up Subversion and use TortoiseSVN for the front end. I hope there is not much in learning to use those.
Well thanks for the praise that I decide to use version control software in this company. Hey even almost all projects are small, the rate of reuse previous software is high. It is becoming a must to use version control software.

I'm in the same boat and I use this:http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/[^]
It is absolutely the best for what you're looking for. Just be careful not to put big files into it because you cannot remove them from the repository (unless you use svnobliterate).

I'm sure this will be a repost but handy to know, nonetheless. If you need quick and easy VMs to test against various versions of IE (6-9) on XP/Vista/7: Internet Explorer Application Compatibility VPC Image[^]. They are time-limited but there are always new ones that are available after the expiry dates.
Thanks to BW for pointing out this should go here, rather than in the lounge.

Our company website is a simple, static HTML design that has "grown" over the years from a PHP implementation on Linux to a .Net form on IIS. It has been massaged repeatedly using different tools, primarily by amateurs who know little of website design. I downloaded the source a year or so ago, with the intention of adding some new content and reorganizing it, but was completely floored by what I found.
The last design go around was done by a front desk clerk with a copy of Web Expressions, and it's a mess. There are thousands of scripts, most never used, in hundreds of files. It looks to me as if she simply uploaded everything available, including all the canned material Microsoft provides with the pictures and verbiage I created years ago, and now it's almost impossible to determine what is used and what is just taking up space.
What I'm looking for is a tool that I can run which will output a list of required resources called for by the visible pages, so that I can cull out everything else. Can someone point me to such a tool?
