Once  week we round up the best reader tips and share them here. This week we’re looking at running Windows 8 as a VMware machine, speeding up Windows 7 search with Agent Ransack, and making zip ties reusable.

在vmware中运行windows 8

混乱的鸭嘴兽写道：

Found a nice guide (not my work) that worked well for a ~5 minute Windows 8 Dev. Preview setup in VMware Workstation 8.

I have the “Windows Developer Preview with developer tools English, 64-bit (x64)” running w/o any issues now. I was not able to get the same process to work with Workstation 7, but it works great in 8.

伟大的提示混乱，对于那些读者谁是VirtualBox球迷你可以阅读我们的指南，以设置windows8在VirtualBox这里。

用agentranack搜索窗口

吉姆写了以下提示：

Why bother setting up complicated search techniques when you can use AgentRansack on any version of Windows? It supports Boolean expressi***, search inside documents, and more. Best of all it’s free!

AgentRack是一个可靠的应用程序，感谢您在吉姆写！

调整zip领带以实现可重用性

鲍勃读了这篇关于重复使用拉链带的文章，并写下了自己的建议：

我刚刚读了一篇文章，说的是如何翻转拉链带以使其可重用，下面是另一种重用方法：

Unless one is used on soft material that blocks the locking end when tightened, try this. If the free end of the tie is long enough or you have a free one, take the narrow end that you push thru the locking end and push it into the locking block that’s locked onto the tie on the side that the little “latch” locks into the tang. While keeping a modest amount of pressure on it, tug gently on the tie next to the block.

The object is to disengage the locking tongue from the tang’s teeth that are holding it in place (not to shove another tie thru). Then while holding the “latch”, slide the disengaged tang past. Sometimes doing this pushes the locking piece a little too far, and it won’t engage again. Not a problem, just take the end again and push into the block in the opposite direction to push it back into position again.

人们操纵简单的领带的聪明方法似乎永无止境。谢谢分享鲍勃！
