This snippet of code worked when tested in VB.NET application I’m working on. It will set the User Agent string for the duration of the control.

Private Property uag As String = Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko
     _
    Private Shared Function UrlMkSetSessionOption(ByVal dwOption As Integer, ByVal pBuffer As String, ByVal dwBufferLength As Integer, ByVal dwReserved As Integer) As Integer
    End Function
    Const URLMON_OPTION_USERAGENT As Integer = &H10000001
    Public Function ChangeUserAgent(ByVal Agent As String)
        UrlMkSetSessionOption(URLMON_OPTION_USERAGENT, Agent, Agent.Length, 0)
    End Function

Convert between bits/bytes/kilobits/kilobytes/megabits/megabytes/gigabits/gigabytes

What is it?

This is completely based on Matisse.net’s online bitcalc tool: http://www.matisse.net/bitcalc/
Enter in an amount of units and click calculate.  For example, in the screenshot, I entered in 1024 gigabytes.  The calculator converts 1024GB to bits, bytes, kilobits, kilobytes, megabits, megabytes, gigabits, gigabytes, terabits, terabytes, petabits and petabytes.
I have written this in .NET 2.0 and is a standalone application for you to consume and use. I use this ALL the time.

What is it?

I created a small tool to help facilitate setting the default user to automatically logon to a system.

Requirements

• Administrator Privileges
• .NET 2.0 or greater

Details

There are 4 registry entries of interest here:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWinlogon]
AutoAdminLogon=1
DefaultUserName=
DefaultPassword=
ForceAutoLogon=1

If you don’t want to download and run my program, you can simply copy the above text into notepad, save-as a .reg file and double-click it to run it. Make sure you take care to modify the settings as necessary.
The convenience of my application is that it will list local users so you can simply just click on the desired user and set the information accordingly.
