Windows CMD .bashrc equivilant

This is the best thing ever! I could never find a way to automatically source a file no matter where/how I started "cmd" from Windows.

But here it is:

Bottom line:

1. Create some file like: C:\Windows\cmdauto.cmd
2. Add some stuff, like: doskey cp=copy $*
3. Add a String Value "AutoRun" to this key:
   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor]
   
4. Put "C:\Windows\cmdauto.cmd" as the value.

Now, no matter where you start cmd, it will execute "cmdauto.cmd" first.

Dare you to look at this site...

Loan Calculators

All I wanted to do was to punch in my loan term, monthly payment, and rate, then see what the total of my payments would be and the total interest... I searched for at least 30 minutes trying to find a page that did that! Every other page wanted me to punch in the principle as part of the calculation, but I did not have that info at my finger tips...

Here's the page:

A kangaroo walks into a bar...

A kangaroo walks into a bar and orders a martini. The bartender
figures that a kangaroo probably isn't very economically aware, and
charges him $50. The marsupial orders a beer next time, and is charged
$60. Finally, the bartender's curiosity gets the better of him. He
casually remarks, "You know, we don't get too many kangaroos in here."
The kangaroo replies, "At these prices, no wonder."

Strange clicking noise while peddling? What's making that rattling sound? Check out this site:

Really nice list of clicks, creaks, rattles, etc, and what the most probable causes are and how to fix them. Very handy indeed!
