Firefox 4 does not prompt to save tabs on exit

The solution that worked for me was to set the configuration flag in about:config to:

• > browser.showQuitWarning to true

There are several popular solutions to this issue that did not work for me. Some that I came across while researching this issue:

• > browser.tabs.warnOnClose , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/About%3Aconfig_entries
• > browser.warnOnQuit , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnQuit
• > browser.warnOnRestart , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnRestart

Coldfusion Dynamic File Path Code

There are plenty of sites out there with this exact code and I use it in almost every site I've written, but I'll remember where it is if I post it here.

#GetDirectoryFromPath(GetCurrentTemplatePath())#
#GetDirectoryFromPath(GetCurrentTemplatePath())#somedir\somedir2\

Watch your slashes for different OS's.

Prevent Cisco AnyConnect client from starting at boot in Windows 7

A recent upgrade to the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client causes the anyconnect client to load at windows startup. This is a pain in the ass since I'm not always going to connect to my VPN when I start windows. Thanks for taking the MS approach on this one Cisco. Thanks also for not providing a simple way to turn this off via the UI. To prevent this client from loading at boot:

start -> type: msconfig.exe
click the tab "startup"
uncheck "Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client"
click "ok"
click "exit without restart"

Windows 7: Cannot boot from CD - Code error: 5

UPDATE: I've used this method to create a new bootable DVD:  http://www.unawave.de/windows-7-tipps/code5-error.html

The method detailed below works only about 20% of the time and it's a hassle to find a floppy (or even a floppy drive sometimes).

Symptom: When attempting to boot older hardware with the Windows 7 install DVD, you receive the error message "Cannot boot from CD - Code error: 5"

Problem: The Windows 7 install DVD has multiple file systems not supported by some older BIOS software. To read more about the differences, please read: AlfaMikeDelta's posts.

Solution 1: Upgrade your BIOS to a version that supports booting UDF file systems.

Solution 2: Use a linux boot manager to help emulate the missing BIOS instructions. I used the Gujin boot disk and followed the directions from AlfaMikeDelta's above post:

- Download latest version of Gujin from sourceforge
- Use your favourite decompressing software to unGzip/unTar
- Inside the uncompressed folder, you will find a file named "full.img.gz", unGzip this file too.
- Now you will have a file named "floppy.144", this is the floppy image.
- Download a "Floppy Image Writer", for exmple RawWrite (or WinImage).
- Grab a floppy and write the file "floppy.144" to it.
- Put the Windows 7 DVD in the drive.
- Boot your PC with the floppy, it will show a screen searching for boot records in your computer, follow the instructions about the video resolution.
- Once you are inside the GUI, there will be a list of supported booteable media, press the "F" key corresponding to the one that reads "no emul" or "no emulation" (it should be your DVD)
- Pay attention to the message "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD" and do so when it appears.

Installation should continue as planned from there.
