Updates for my programs and websites
Since first version of VHD Attach there were requests for auto-mounting of drives upon startup. With this version that feature is finally available. :)
Other change that some will like is possibility to enable/disable context menu items for explorer. Now you can choose whether you want all items there, some of them or none.
Download is available here.

You can download beta immediately and final release will follow in a month or so.
This was mostly clean-up of QText. Lot of common modules were changed with new versions and general bug-fixing was done. I did my best not to break something and hopefully I succeeded in that. Some new features did manage to get in and I will here introduce two of them.
Open containing folder is added on tab’s context menu. It will allow you to open folder directly in explorer. It may come handy when one needs to export file to another location.
Another feature long over due is copy/paste as text. It is added on text’s context menu and it will finally allow you to strip clipboard content of all formatting either before copy or after paste.
It has been a while since I released VHD Attach. It worked perfectly for me and, judging from comments on Internet, for quite a few other people.
One thing that gave me most grief was necessity of going through UAC prompts. This “feature” is gone now. VHD Attach will install itself as service during setup and thus all UAC prompts will be avoided.
Another feature long overdue is ability to work properly on Windows 7 that are not of English descent. Although most of features weren’t affected, this is definitely step forward.
You can download new version here.
This is only small update for my Summae program. As you may know, this is small utility for calculating various sums. Supported algorithms include CRC-16, CRC-32, MD-5, RIPEMD-160, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512. You can use it as standalone program or as command-line replacement for some other utility e.g. md5sum or sha1sum.
New version is improved in some small details:

One thing that gave me most grief is necessity of going through UAC prompts. This beta sorts that limitation by having service do dirty work. To make long story short, it works without acknowledging every action.

My small registry editor for Windows Mobile 6 just had update.
While most users will not notice anything, those with Smartphone will enjoy new auto-selection of input method. It finally works properly.

QText is small “notepadish” program for taking quick notes. In order to avoid data loss, it auto-saves everything you type.
For new version, changes are:
And last change is finally attaching a license to program. I opted for MIT license if anybody cares.

This is small tool that adds Attach and Detach option to contextual (aka right-click) menu of Virtual disk (vhd) files. That enables those operations to be done without trip to Disk Management console. Detach option is available on hard drive contextual menu also.
Additionally program can be used as classic utility in order to see various information about virtual disk, even without attaching it.
Do notice that this program only works with Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. Older operating systems are not supported.
As always, this program is freeware.
I wrote quite a lot about virtual disk support in Windows 7. I even gave some C# code on how to use it. Single thing that I haven’t done is to actually make complete program with it. That is changed now.
Idea for this program is quite similar to VhdMount. Difference here is that this program uses native virtual disk support brought to you with Windows 7.
Since I hated necessity of going through Disk Management each time I want to perform attach (a.k.a. mount), there is also right-click support for .vhd files and for already mounted drives. Just select detach on any virtual drive’s context menu and program will find itself which file that is.
While this program is not completed yet, I see no reason why you should not test it and check whether you like it.
