Fix Windows Update issues with Windows 10 (could likely fix issues experienced in Win 8.1 and earlier, too)
@echo off
:: Windows 10 Update issues
:: Stop / Disable Windows Update
sc config wuauserv start=disabled
taskkill /f /fi "SERVICES eq wuauserv"
net stop wuauserv

# Tested with Windows 10 Tech Preview build 9926
#
# The following PowerShell script can be used to re-initialize the Shell Experience in Windows 10.
#
# WARNING: All store apps will be reinitialized meaning any local data associated with that app will
# get reset.
#
# This seems to be necessary if restoring from a restore point. When a restore point is used,
# the Start Menu, Cortana, and the Notification Area no longer work

aplocher / WebAdmin.bat
Last active August 29, 2015 14:12
Starts the ASP.NET Website Admin Tool (WSAT) and launches a web browser to it. WSAT is no longer a prominent feature in VS2013 - this BAT file will assist with easily launching it with a single command.
@echo off
:: Begin config section
set pathToApp=C:\SourceCode\MyApp\MyApp.Web
set pathToIISExpress=C:\Program Files\IIS Express\iisexpress.exe
set webPort=8019

aplocher / DelUnusedConstants.ps1
Last active August 29, 2015 14:07
This is a basic script that helps cleanup a series of unused constants in a single file by scanning all *.cs files from a folder to try to find any usages. If not found, it will get commented out and the dev will be able to easily Find/Replace all commented lines with an empty line after verifying that nothing is broken. It uses text parsing, so…
$fileToCheck = 'C:\SourceCode\BitCollectors.WinFormsControls\BitCollectors.WinFormsControls\Common\Win32Native.cs'
$fileToOutput = 'C:\Temp\Win32Native.new.cs'
$fileToBackup = 'C:\Temp\Win32Native.old.cs'
$folderToLookIn = 'C:\SourceCode\BitCollectors.WinFormsControls\BitCollectors.WinFormsControls'
$constRegex = '^\s*[^\/]\s*((internal|private|public|protected)?\s+const\s+[a-zA-Z0-9]+)?\s+([A-Z]{1}[a-zA-Z0-9_]+)\s*\=.*(;|,)\s*$'
$csFiles = Get-ChildItem -Path $folderToLookIn -Recurse -Filter '*.cs'
