Now looking at something cool:
Using the .NET framework once you are done writing your code and compiling it, you will always end up with the main .exe and some library .dll's, icons, config files, the whole shabang, and distributing it is really a pain. It used to be that for windows executables you could use something like UPX but for .NET, and especially C# I found that .NETZ
works the best.

VMWare tools
I've had a hard time with VMWare Workstation since everyone else at the company has ver.4 and I had to be special and get ver.5 (actually i was last to get VMWare, so thats the reason). If I tried to open a .vmx file that was created on ver.4, I would get an error message urging me to upgrade to ver.5. The upgrade called for hardware changes and reinstalling the hardware drivers would trigger win xp activation. So, if you just click "Cancel" and don't install the new drivers, the host does not ask for it again and you are safe from reactivating.
Now, if you are using Windows 2000, your resolution after upgrade will be 480x620 at 16 colors, so to fix that you definately have to install the VMWare tools that come with your workstation since ver.1.x. To do that, on ver.4, go to File > Install VMware Tools, Just to keep you on your toes, they changed the location in the last version. On ver.5 its VM -> Install VMware Tools.
