I was fedup with the poor experience of editing my host file, which is often needed when developing websites. So I quickly created an AutoHotkey script for the purpose.
15:03:50 – me: anyone knows a host editor app that works under windows 7
15:04:51 – me: fed up trying to first find the hosts file, then not being able to save because I again forgot to run notepad with admin privileges.

As a hobbyist music producer, I have a lot of samples of sounds. As I have decided to start organising these, I needed a quick way to fire off samples in wav and mp3 format through Windows Explorer.
So I created InstaPlay. This is a simple sound player. To install it simply unzip it in a directory that’s in the path, and then associate wav and mp3 files (and whatever else you want to use) with it. It also has a few features:
This program will help you categorize more efficiently as you can move the sound that’s being played without pesky ‘file in use’ prompts.

What it does
I made a small AHK script I thought you might want to use: AltTab Fingertips. Press a configurable hotkey (F10 by default), and get a menu at the mouse with all the current windows on it. You can exclude processes using the tray menu.
Many thanks to ak_ for creating “menu at cursor” idea with FileDraft, which inspired this. It’s like alt-tab but quicker. A lot of code comes from my PutAside script.
Small screencast:
Changelog:
v1.3 – Recompile, shiny new icon, INI in the same folder as the script for portability!
v1.2 – startup message is now only shown once. Added “show desktop|restore programs” option to menu, (windows-d)
v1.1 – allows to exclude processes via system tray menu.
Comments are welcome either here or on the related Donationcoder thread.
