Open command prompt in Windows (as administrator, ideally). Typing will give you the complete syntax and all instructions for it. Typing will delete FolderName and everything in it, asking for confirmation first. Typing will delete FolderName and everything in it without asking. My advice would be to type rmdir /s and then as you type the folder name, press TAB after the first couple of letters and it will autocomplete the name for you. This is useful to make sure that what you're trying to delete actually exists!

Those shouldn't be as funny to stare at as they are...

Reddit thread: (It's been a quiet day so far here)

Hi MS2011, do you have a language preference/requirement? EDIT: Just written an outline to point you in the right direction - based on VB.NET because that's what I've been working in recently. It's not in any language, not even English! read file vb.net has SPLIT which will pull contents into an array and splits according to comma TRIM to remove leading & trailing spaces count = 0 UNTIL end of file $folderName = $ArrayFromFile(count) IF NOT ArrayFromFile.contains($folderName) Then Windows.System.RenameFolder($foldername & count) End If End Until

I've never seen a table that small before... If I do, I'll let you know.

EDIT: Wow, I guess I had this thread open for ages before replying Don't worry - all of this terminology is very confusing! (I only started to get a basic understanding myself, so here goes (disclaimer: I possibly have the wrong idea about some of these, as I tend to over simplify some things): The limit is how much you can owe on that card. Remember that you can add money to your card too. For example: My credit card has a £200 limit. I pay £50 on to that card. I now have £50 balance, and £200 credit limit, so I can spend £250 on that card. I will now pay interest on the £200 that I owe, unless I clear the balance by paying more on to that card. (I believe that if you have interest owing, it will take you over the £200 limit, just that you can't actually spend anything more on it). A balance transfer is when you take money from one account and transfer it to another. In my case, I owed money to one bank (so the balance was essentially negative) and was able to transfer that to a different bank account to take advantage of one of their offers for new customers, and avoid paying any interest on the remaining balance APR is basically that, yes - it's how much interest you pay over 12 months - so your actual interest will be the APR amount divided by 12 (unless I'm mistaken). You have a minimum amount to pay each month on your credit card, based on how much you have spend in the last calendar month, in addition to any outstanding balance, and any charges and interest owed.

A mobile phone contract also

I let my spending get a grand or so over what it should have been. So I opened a second credit card with another bank and took advantage of a 0% transfer fee, 0% interest on balance transfers offer for 20 months. Moved all of the outstanding balance onto that card, shredded the card when it came so I can't spend on it, and pay a set amount each month so that it will be paid off after 18 months. On my original card I have now started spending wiser (I started to run this bill up a couple of years ago, each month spending a bit more than I paid off). Credit cards are very useful - buyer's protection of purchases over £100 (I think the upper limit is £10,000?) can come in handy!

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW That's so sad.... *cries*

RIP Peter Sallis The news tonight was so depressing.

I saw it last night and didn't get it, and it took me a couple of minutes just now! Wow I'm slow today...

Although it's Visual Basic .NET not C#, these are some great tutorials https://channel9.msdn.com/Series/Visual-Basic-Development-for-Absolute-Beginners which I used when starting with Visual Studio.

This. My method of determining food amounts is as follows: Take one standard serving. Halve the portion size. Because you have half the portion size, you have half the calories. Now you can have twice as much without feeling guilty, as it's only half the calories.

My sister's partner and I had to go to his old house to collect something before he moved out, I'd already had my shower as it was about 11pm so had PJ's, slippers and my dressing gown on. We were joking around about heading to a nightclub nearby (not usually the type of establishment we frequent) and not being dressed formally enough. I gestured at my slippers and dressing gown and said "It's fine, I'll Arthur Dent this! Oh, I forgot my towel..." and from his glove-box he pulled out a towel with the words Don't Panic stitched in. We were laughing so hard he nearly crashed the car. He'd put the towel in his car a couple of years ago and it had never been used, but he said that his comic timing justified that towel's existence... HAPPY TOWEL DAY 2017 EDUGEEKS!

You can get Visual Studio 2013 Community https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/releasenotes/vs2013-community-vs free via the Dev Essentials option from Microsoft https://www.visualstudio.com/dev-essentials/. It's free but does require you to sign up. Glad to hear you got it sorted

Hi Knil92, did you get this sorted in the end? The only time I've ever seen images with a red X on is when that file could not be located or accessed. Does that image get copied to the Completed Project folder when you build the project? If so, is the path relative or absolute (i.e. does it go to your username somewhere, and it doesn't have access when it's run as administrator?) Sorry, I've never seen the problem before personally, so just going through what I'd look into first.

Hi Helen and Adrian, welcome to Edugeek @Helen25, glad to see you're coming to say hello if you've been lurking since 2015 - as you know we don't bite (much!)

Horde, Orc (never played as an Orc before - I used to play WOTLK on a private server several years ago but never got beyond level 20), Warlock, Destruction, EU Magtheridon. I only got into it because others in my gaming community were needing another person for Raids.

Started WoW a couple of weeks ago. Made it to level 60 in the first week, and gained 4 levels in the last week. Going to be a while before max level! Also Titan Quest: Anniversary Edition is a great time sink, and started Stellaris last week. Command & Conquer: Generals was a fantastic game. Used to play over Hamachi. AK-47's FOR EVERYONE!

I use Bandicam (https://www.bandicam.com/free-screen-recorder/) which allows you to record portions of your screen, and gives you good control over the output (saving audio as a separate file, splitting audio sources into tracks, MP4/AVI formats with adjustable bitrates...) Free version allows you to record for 10 minutes at a time (could always stitch the videos together!) and has a Bandicam watermark on it.
