Desktop Graffitist

There will be things when you are bored out of your brain when you are sitting in front of the computer screen for long hours.

There is a program call Desktop Graffitist which is quite useful to do some graffiti and sketches on screen. You can switch between colors, using the mouse wheel and quickly erase your creation with the Esc key.

Aside from the added bonus of allowing you to vent on that stupid monthly report or the latest homework assignment, the program is also good for leaving messages on other people's computers that they can't miss (love notes, hate notes, grocery lists and art/graffiti/vandalism, ...).

There are a few hidden software within Window Vista which may be quite useful to some people.

Windows Vista and Windows XP both have a rarely used tool known as IExpress. This is an extremely useful tool for turning Visual Basic script files and other non-executable scripts into one-click executables.

The second script must be the batch file that you use to execute your script. For example: if your script is a visual basic script (.vbs) you need a batch file (.bat) that will run your script.
