At my new job, I had the french keyboard set by default. When I type my password I always need to change the language. I finaly found a solution, and to be able to apply the solution you need to be able to go in the regedit.

When should we do tests?

A co-worker asked me to go on the Steven Harman Blog to read the post “When Should I Write Tests“. I strongly suggest you to get there and open the two links he created.

Make the Remote Desktop server works inside Vista Home Premium ( French edition )

I actually had a lot of trouble getting this thing works because all the stuff is available for the English version only. First, you need to download the following:

termsrv
http://rapidshare.com/files/90325478/termsrv.sp1.patched.dll.html for home premium 32 bit.

You will need to unzip the termsrv somewhere on your computer and you will need to edit the bat file. You may ask why? The reason is simple, the french version of Vista doesn’t have the same service name as the English version. Instead of “Terminal Services” you should have “Services Terminal Server“. The name doesn’t really seems to be the same but it is.

You will maybe also have to change the “Administrator” name to your user name on Vista. The reason why it could happen is that you changed the Administrator name instead of creating a new user for your machine.

Note: Don’t forget to open the port on your firewall (Add TCP port 3389 in my firewall (under exceptions)) and also do a reboot after executing the “bat” file.
