This is a small AutoHotKey script that opens a command prompt window at the same location as the folder you are browsing in Windows Explore.
[BONUS: Open the explorer with current directory from command prompt]
Simply hit the Ctrl+Alt+H shortcut key sequence while the explorer or the command prompt is in focus.
Here is the code to register the shortcut:
; Opens a command prompt with the current folder
; when you press Ctrl+Alt+H in Explorer
; or the command prompt
^!h::
if WinActive("ahk_class CabinetWClass")
or WinActive("ahk_class ExploreWClass")
{
ClipSaved := ClipboardAll
Send !d
Sleep 10
Send ^c
Run, cmd /K "cd /D `"%clipboard%`""
Clipboard := ClipSaved
ClipSaved =
return
}
else if WinActive("ahk_class ConsoleWindowClass")
{
Send ^c
Sleep 10
Send explorer .{Enter}
Sleep 10
return
}
exit
Has it ever annoyed you when you drop a music folder into iTunes and all your files get scattered instead of becoming a single album. If yes, read ahead..
iTunes is incapable of handling music files that are not tagged properly. This annoyed me to the extend that I wrote this small tool that converts your music folder into an album for iTunes.

Here is a screencast (less than a minute) that shows how it works:
Today I am going to talk about an incredibly useful Firefox plugin: Read It Later
Ever stumbled over a site and thought - “Ahh.. this seems to be interesting, but maybe I'll read it sometime later”. The simplest thing to do then would be to just go ahead and bookmark it. A downside that I see to this approach is that, you might be working on multiple computers and the next thing you know you don’t even remember which browser it was. (People handling more than one computer at a time will get me).
Read It Later is a wonderful plugin and not only bookmarks your favourite pages but also can be easily synced on multiple computers.
Read It Later allows you to save pages of interest to read later. It eliminates cluttering of bookmarks with sites that are merely of a one-time interest.
The main features of the plugin:
Save multiple links on a page by turning on save mode (alt + M)
Sort your reading list by date, site, tags, etc
If you want to save the link for later reference, you have an option to save it to any of the popular bookmarking site.
You can also save all opened tabs in Firefox in a single click.
