Updated PowerShell script to loop through files for printing.
After finishing my script from the previous post I thought there has to be a better way to write this and reduce the lines of code. Not that 5 separate lines is a lot. But, if the list of items to print grew larger say to 15 documents, and was in different subdirectories then it might get complicated. So, I set about trying to find a way to use the ForEach-Object cmd. After some trial and error I have come up with this.
$Directory = “\\SVR1\DATA\Reports\Trading\”
Get-ChildItem -path $Directory -recurse -include *.pdf | ForEach-Object {Start-Process -FilePath $_.fullname -Verb Print -PassThru | %{sleep 10;$_} | kill }
How do I set Windows to boot as the default in grub
How do I set grub so that in my dualboot with Windows and Ubuntu Linux.
The two ways are:
- Boot which ever operating system you booted last time, the “saved method”
This is the one I use. It lets me decide which one I going to use and will allow me to reboot into that system, handy when I’m updating. - Boot a specific operating system by default.

How to Uninstall Windows 10’s Built-in Apps and Reinstall Them
Windows 10 includes a variety of universal apps, and there’s no easy way to hide them from the “All Apps” view in the new Start menu. You can uninstall them, but Microsoft doesn’t allow you to easily uninstall them in the usual way.
You probably don’t want to do this. These apps take up very little space on your device so it’s best to just ignore them if you don’t want to use them. But, if you really want to uninstall them, you can. If you’ve already uninstalled included apps, you can get them all back with a single command. (more…)
