Share the post "Where Is The Developer Command Prompt In Visual Studio 2013"

Recently, after I upgraded Visual Studio from 2012 to 2013, I was surprised why there was no folder made for it.

No idea why but here is a good solution by user Gerard ONeill from the StackOverflow forum on how to have the folder and its shortcut appear again.

  • Go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
  • Create a new folder called Microsoft Visual Studio 2013.
  • Copy the shortcuts from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\Tools\Shortcuts to that new folder

The shortcut for the Developer Command Prompt is included there so once you finish transferring all those shortcuts to the Visual Studio 2013 Folder, they should appear in the START menu.

Share the post "F*ck SearchProtect And Its Malwares"

Sad to say, I got victimized by the malware known as SearchProtect. This seems to come from Lavasoft’s Conduit application although I have been careful to never install any unwanted program, I got victimized by SearchProtect because curiously, the DIVX installer that got redirected to me came with unwanted bullsheets.

I was surprised after it happened. The WMV format sucks and I was forced to download the codec because Windows’ Media Player cannot play it. Microsoft could have at least redirected me to some links that are not crap.

Instead, I got redirected to a crap site and installed a very annoying malware.

So how to delete it? Skip applications that say they target malware. SearchProtect will only disappear once you uninstall it but it won’t be in normal Windows boot mode.

You need to go into safe mode in order to uninstall it. It is usually found in c:\Program Files (x86). My variation was under MiuiTab. I had to kill the ProtectSearch.exe first since it was run even in Safe Mode. After that, uninstall went smoothly.

Once you go back to normal boot mode, you can uninstall those other nasty annoying applications and browser extensions.

That should do it. And If you are into movies, avoid WMV! Look for AVI, MVK or MP4 instead!

There may be cases with your code that once you use HTML2Canvas to take a screenshot on certain parts of the web page, the CSS styles of the HTML elements gets messed up.

Remember, HTML2Canvas does not take a screenshot literally but uses the web page’s DOM structure to traverse through the page it is loaded on. It gathers information on all the elements there, which it then uses to build a representation of the page.

It builds a representation of it based on the properties it reads from the DOM.

If your case happens to have a messed up layout after a screenshot is taken, do not worry. You only need to change 1 line of code.

Look for the createWindowClone() function under the Promise block code. There should be a function there that has documentClone.adoptNode().

Thing is, the adoptNode() method adopts a node from another document which means all child nodes and descendants, if any, of the adopted node, are also adopted.

The original node and its descendants are removed from the other document so this is the reason why some cases your CSS may get affected.

The solution to this is to use the alternative method importNode(). Simply change it to:
