Add Micro-SD card to Windows 8 Libraries (Virtual Disk VHD method)
In previous article I explained how to add folders located on removable drives (MicroSD cards, etc.) to Windows Libraries. Unfortunately this workaround does not work very well in all situations. Because these folders can't be indexed, some applications do not work correctly (i.e. modern / metro version of Windows Photo Gallery)
This article explains another, more reliable workaround. The idea is to create a virtual hard drive image on you SD card and then mount it as a fixed local hard drive. Such virtual drive will look and act as any other local hard drive. What's most important, it can be properly indexed my Windows Indexing service.

Windows Libraries - This folder can't be included...
Issue - you cannot add a folder located on removable media (MicroSD card, USB flash drive, etc) to the Windows Libraries. Following error is displayed:
Windows Libraries
This folder can't be included because it is on a removable media.
This behaviour is by design. Windows doesn't allow folders saved on removable media to be used as Windows Library targets. On traditional desktop PCs this is not too much of an issue, however, most of the new Windows 8 tablets and hybrid devices (Windows RT, Acer W510, etc) come with small SSD drives and additional MicroSD card slot to expand the storage. The MicroSD is obvious place to put your local media collection, only problem is that you then can't add them to your Windows Libraries.

Record video from computer screen
Recently had to record a short video directly from a computer screen.
After trying few shareware and free utilities decided to stick with a commercial Bandicam. Full version costs $39 per computer. Simply select screen area you want to capture, optionally adjust audio and video settings and start recording.
