Windows 7 does not have the QuickLaunch toolbar enabled by default. Here’s how to add it:

• Right-click the taskbar, then click “New Toolbar”
• In the Folder input field, copy and paste the following line:

%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick  Launch

• Click “Select Folder”
• Unlock the taskbar.
• Right click the Quick Launch toolbar and uncheck “Show Text” and “Show Title”.
• Drag the Quick Launch toolbar to the desired location.
• Double-click the dotted edge of the toolbar to auto-size the toolbar to the width of the icons.

Done!

1. Go through the usual setup at Samba.org or use YUM (yum install -y samba)
2. By default, the smb.conf allows sharing of home directories.
3. Add a Samba user (smbpasswd -a myusername)
4. On Fedora, run SELinux Administration
5. On the left menu, click “Boolean”.
6. Scroll down to “samba”, and check the box next to “Allow samba to share users home directories”.
7. Also on Fedora, make sure your Firewall allows the Samba ports 139 and 445.
8. On Windows Vista, now map the network drive.

Sample smb.conf:

[homes]
        comment = Home Directories
        browseable = no
        writable = yes
;       valid users = %S
;       valid users = MYDOMAIN\%S

“c:\program files\putty\pageant.exe” “c:\documents and settings\esumbar\pka-putty\mykey.ppk”
