The default collection of pictures for user accounts can be found in the following folders:

For security reason it is a good practice to share specific folders on network with authorized access. Unfortunately Windows sharing has an unpleasant feature that if there is an established connection from one user to a network computer (sharing server), connection for another user from the same machine to the same server will be rejected. For instance if there are two shared folders: one for User1 and another for User2,- and User1 has already connected, in order to switch to User2 it is necessary to close the User1 network mapping first then reconnect as User2. Not a big deal to do it once in a while, just go to Windows Explorer's Tools\"Disconnect Network Drive" then "Map Network Drive", however switching back and forth becomes annoying very quickly. A possible solution is to use a batch file to automate the switching.
net use * /delete /yes
net use x: \\NetServerName\SharedFolder *
/user:NetServerName\User1
net use * /delete /yes
net use y: \\NetServerName\SharedFolder *
/user:NetServerName\User2
net use * /delete /yes" in the both files deletes all existing connections. The key "/yes" is not documented in the official Microsoft description, but it works as a default response to the command prompt question [Y/N].

Recently I bumped into a problem with file-sharing - an attempt to copy files from an XP machine to a Vista computer ended up with the error "Not enough server storage". Rebooting all the computers did not help to resolve the issue. As Microsoft suggests the problem is related to a small value for IRPStackSize parameter on the server side computer.

To control which applications should be run at startup a general working both for XP and Vista way is using MSCONFIG.EXE: switch to the Startup tab and just unselect the items you do not want to be starting automatically.

Favicon or Shortcut Icon is a small picture which appears in web-browser address field, tab and bookmark of the corresponding web site. Blogger has a default icon assigned, but it seems pretty nice to add an original favicon to your blog: it would give a distinctive, easier to remember view to the bookmark and to the web page itself. Adding a favicon is not difficult at all, but the solutions I found on the Web were not quite correct, at least they did not work for my Blogger and web-site.
<head>
<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON"
href="http://www.mydomain.com/myicon.ico">
<title>My Title</title>

<title>My Title</title>

Nowadays there are many free web hosts of different styles for image storage. For now I needed the one which accepts ICO files for favicon, but also had checked out some other popular sites I'd like to make a note for the future.Some templates for Blogger do not have "Read More..." feature by default, but it is not very difficult to add it the way you like. The idea is to display post differently when it is in the home page or in any of other multi-post pages as a page of selection by a tag, for example, and when it is the page of the post itself. That condition can be checked directly with the page attribute data:blog.pageType: it is equal to "item" when the page shows the post itself.<div class='post-header-line-1'/>
<div class='post-body'>
<p><data:post.body/></p>
<div style='clear: both;'/>
</div>
<p><data:post.body/></p><div class='post-header-line-1'/>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<style>.prepost{display:none;}</style>
<style>.fullpost{display:inline;}</style>
<div class='post-body'>
<data:post.body/>
<div style='clear: both;'/>
</div>
<b:else/>
<style>.prepost{display:inline;}</style>
<style>.fullpost{display:none;}</style>
<div class='post-body'>
<data:post.body/>
<a expr:href='data:post.url'> Read more...</a>
<div style='clear: both;'/>
</div><br/>
</b:if>
