As a consultant I can't always depend on having the same computer all the time. One month here, one year there, a few weekends at another place. I try to setup a dir off the drive root (in NT) and store everything there. Everything I install, save, or download all goes in to that dir. Not only does it keep me from saving somewhere that I can't find, but it also lets me wipe all traces of myself quickly. Except for perl, I figure every machine is better off with it installed.

For NT:
@rmdir /s /q c:\consult

For win9[58]:
@deltree /y c:\consult
[download]

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
