Mac OSX Leopard style Stack in Windows 7, Vista and Windows XP

A Stack in Mac OS X gives you fast access to a folder or file from the desktop. StandaloneStack 2 gives similar feature in Windows (Windows 7, Vista and XP).

Although not all features as in Mac OSX Leopard’s Stack, but the working is smooth both in Windows 7 and XP.

StandaloneStack 2 is a freeware, portable tool and you can create any number of stacks, for example stack for My Document, Download location, etc.

Here is a simple example to create a Stack.

Download, unzip and run the program. Create a new stack by clicking ‘New Stack’; give a stack name (for example ‘Download’).

Select the path of your ‘Download’ folder and click on ‘Create a Stack’ button and then click on ‘Create a shortcut on desktop’ button. That’s all.

Now you can easily navigate through your download folder by just clicking on the Stack you just created. Download the program from here.

Disable automatic Meta refresh/redirect of websites in browser for security reasons[how to]

Generally speaking, Meta refresh is a method used by some websites to instruct a web browser to automatically refresh/redirect the current web page after a given time interval. You can see this type of refresh/redirect especially in media sites. This is some times annoying or can be used for malicious purposes by redirecting you to a malicious site. If you don’t like this feature, you can disable this in your browser. Here is how to disable this in Internet Explore/Chrome, Firefox and Opera. Internet Explorer: Go to Tools - Internet options - Security tab - Custom Level button - Miscellaneous category - set "Allow Meta refresh" to Disable. Firefox: Go to Tools - Options - Advanced - General - Accessibility and tick the option next to ‘Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page’. Alternatively you can use extension RefreshBlocker . Opera: Go to Preferences - Advanced - Network and uncheck "Enable automatic redirection".
