I’m very used to unix systems and there it is very common to use symbolic links. Say you mount another machine at /machine2 but want to access some files from it in your home directory on that machine but have them in the home directory on this machine. Just use ln, ln -s /machine2/home/user/file /home/user/file and there is no difference in using file on any machine. This has not been possible in Windows until Vista was released!
Another way to explain it is it is possible to map a remote folder not just into a drive(e.g. Z:) but also onto a folder!
The solution is the new mklink command, this article explains well how to use it!

Wikipedia har rätt mycket information om Tirpitz och denna sajt har en hel del bilder över både skeppet och haveriplatsen. Denna text var också intressant.

Today I should print a number of photos for a friend. So I thought I should give Lightroom a try and I was close to give up when I finally solved it…
This great guide from Steves digicams solved it for me. Basically what I had missed earlier was when disabling the ICM I still had “Photo” chosen as type, it shall be “None”. I also had some effect settings as well but once everything was deselected it worked like a sharm!
In the Canon ICC Profile Guide you can find out what kind of papers the different profiles are for:
MP = Matte paper
PR = Photo Paper Pro
SP = Photo Paper Plus Glossy
Thats about it!
