Here is a list of tools I have used in the Window OS
Window Environment
Emacs
Visual Studio 2008
Cygwin
- Window Environment
- Window Command Line
- Window gflags.exe
- EmacsW32
- TortoiseSVN
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
- Incredibuild
- WinMerge
- Notepad++
- Miktex(Protext)
- Jabref

- Window-E --> To lunch explorer
- Window-L --> To lock the screen
- Window-R --> To open up the run window
- Window-D --> To minimize all the window
- proxycfg --> To find out the proxy server
- xcopy
Tortoise SVN
- TSVNcache.exe is used by Tortoise SVN to continously check the status of sandboxes. This process requires a lot of resources. To disable the TSVNcache.exe, go to > All Program > Tortoise SVN > Settings > Icon Overlays > Status Cache > None
Emacs
- Instal EmacsW32 instead of GNUEmacs
- Add the path to basic GNU utilities, i.e., add to the path
Visual Studio 2008
- F5
- Shift F5
- Ctrl F5
Visual Studio 6
- To incur a break point when a variable changes, one needs to find out the address of the variable. So the debugger has to start and stop somewhere to find out the address of the variable. Then go to Edit>Debug>Data
Cygwin
- In initial installation of Cygwin, the emacs editor cannot quit. If one does a 'M-x describe-key' for C-x C-c, one will see that the key combination is mapped to 'C-x C-g', which means go to line. To fix this, one may edit the batch file used to lunch cygwin from the desktop. Add 'set CYGWIN=tty' right before the call to bash. Example:
- @echo off
- C:
chdir C:\cygwin\bin
set CYGWIN=tty
bash --login -i
