Lifehacker posted some good uses for a remote server. I am going to try setting up the Internet Jukebox (#4). I have been wanting to do this for a bit but just have not looked too much into it. If time permits in between Halo 3 sessions, I am going to try to set this up this weekend.

If you are like me and still use the run command quite a bit, here is how to add it to the start menu. Even if you don't add it to the start menu, the windows key+r shortcut still works.

I can attest that Synergy2 works extremely well. I have used it on 3 system to control all of them with one keyboard. The setup was extremely easy. Basically install on all of the machines and then on the computer with the keyboard/mouse setup which computers are to the left/right of the computer.
I also configured the ctrl+alt+del keystroke to be something besides ctrl+alt+pause/break which is the full screen shortcut for remote desktop. There are instructions on the synergy web site for how to configure keyboard shortcuts.
The one issue that I cannot get around is that you can't auto start Synergy on Vista so you have to login and manually start it. Not a big deal for me since Vista is my computer with the keyboard/mouse hooked up.

Have you ever had a program in Windows Vista crash and all of a sudden your system is dog slow. When a program crashes, Microsoft launches DW20.exe in the background to capture the error as part of the windows error reporting setup. This is a great idea in concept but for some reason DW20.exe always seems to take > 50% of the available CPU and drags the whole system to a crawl. I just found that you can adjust the settings for windows error reporting. There is a good explanation of the different settings at http://www.realtime-vista.com/administration/2007/03/windows_error_reporting_option.htm.
