WordPress bloggers: Fix markup validation issues with the Always Valid Lightbox mod plugin
Here at Winaero, and for some of my other projects, I prefer to use a fancy effect for images inserted in blog posts. The lightbox effect, as it is well known, is provided by a number of plugins for WordPress. Once, I changed the theme of my WordPress blog and tried to validate it with the w3c validator, but the HTML markup provided by my previous lightbox plugin was incorrect and not valid. I decided to fix the issue and it was then that I discovered the "Always Valid Lightbox" plugin, which produces valid markup. I was almost completely satisfied until I noticed some problems with it.

How to get an older version of the Opera browser
Opera, which was my favorite browser since 2003, has recently switched to the new rendering engine, Blink. Blink is a fork of Apple's popular WebKit engine; there are a number of browsers which use it as well. Opera claimed that they will work with Google to improve and extend Blink, and even since they went in that direction, Opera looks and acts more and more like Google Chrome. Personally for me, the user experience does not have anything in common with the classic Opera browser any more.
If you miss the classic Opera browser, there's good news for you: you can easily get almost any previous version of the classic Opera installer for free.

Shell commands in Windows 8.1
There are lots of shell commands in Windows, that you can access by typing shell:<SomeFriendlyName> into the "Run" dialog or the Start menu/screen's search box. In most cases, these shell commands open some system folder or Control panel applet. For example, you can access the Startup folder quickly, if you type the following in the Run dialog:
shell:Startup
These commands can also show some hidden secret features like the two so called "God Mode" folders - All Tasks and All Settings. Today I would like to share with you the exclusive list of the shell commands in Windows 8.1 RTM. It is the most complete list and includes every single command that exists in Microsoft's latest OS.
