THIS TUTORIAL INVOLVES: • Docking program (tested on Rocketdock and Objectdock) • Stack docklet (I use on both RD and OD) • Please choose the appropriate version for your OS. • 64-bit programs with troublesome shortcuts ***** Since you're reading this, this author assumes that you already have Stacks docklet installed and have been using it for quite some time now.

All vulnerable machines and scenarios are based on real life scenarios as you would encounter on real company networks. How to hack vhlcentral free download programs. After completing the courseware and the lab machines the student will have a good understanding of basic penetration testing techniques and practical experience applying these techniques. The penetration testing lab contains 30 vulnerable machines that can be used to practice penetration testing techniques and tools in a safe way.

You are just annoyed why 64-bit program shortcuts give you error everytime you access it inside the Stack. Therefore, THIS TUTORIAL IS NOT ABOUT: • Installing Stacks docklet • Creating stacks ***** INTRO 64-bit application shortcuts are not easy to tame, especially when you use Stack docklets to collect them in groups. Some shortcuts work (in my case, Photoshop has been friendly), but most of the time they appear as this ugly icon: And when you click it, a dialog will popup to tell you that it can't be opened: A workaround to make 64-bit applications shortcuts accessible via the Stacks docklet was provided in Aqua-Soft forums. Their instruction, though good, is too technical and time-consuming. But I'm a newbie and I want an easy way out. So for those having trouble with creating symbolic links, here's a quick tip.

1) download and install Link Shell Extension. The software will add a context menu item. 2) Go to C: Program Files and select the folder of the 64-bit program you'd like to include in Stacks docklet.

(In this example, I will use 7-zip) 3) Right-click on the folder and select Pick Link Source 4) Then, create a folder anywhere. But I advise that this folder should contain symbolic links ONLY so they remain organized. (In my case, I put all my symlinked folders in D: Apps SymLinks where it sits nicely with my D: Apps Shortcuts folder so they're easier to reference in case I needed to change something).

5) Open that newly-created folder. Right-click anywhere, and select Drop As then Symbolic Link. (The item you just 'dropped' will now appear in that folder and it has a green overlay icon to indicate that it's a Sym Link ( CAUTION: If you have MS Office Groove installed, the extra overlay icons added by Link Shell Extension won't behave nicely). Here's a quick explanation of the difference between a linked folder (normal shortcut) and a symlinked folder: -Normal shorcut is like riding an elevator: it will transport you from floor A to floor B -Symlink meanwhile acts like having a front door (original source) and backdoor (symlinked destination): no matter which one you choose you'll still be able to enter the house Therefore, the 'dropped' folder will behave as if it originally resides in the location you put it in.

I could add a stack docklet icon to the main dock, and when I mouseover it, a new dock appears above the icon. Or at least some dock software that can open folders inside the dock itself, not opening the folder using common explorer.

It won't affect the size of your disk but any changes you make in that folder, be it the original or the symlink, will reflect one and the other. So it's better to leave it alone unless you know what you're doing.) 6) Open the folder you just 'dropped'. Find the program's main.exe file that launches the program and create a shortcut for it.

7)This newly-created shortcut is what you should use in your Stacks docklet. After creating your docklet that include this shortcut, you should be able to see the proper icon of your 64-bit program and click on it. ***** This is my very first tutorial, so sorry for being sloppy. Hope this helps someone. This can be accomplished in a slightly simpler way. You do not have to create symbolic links for each application. Instead, create a symbolic link to the 64-bit 'Program Files' folder so that 32-bit applications can 'see' it.

Then modify your plain old windows shortcuts to touch this new 'folder' instead of the original 'Program Files' folder. 1) Open a command prompt 2) Type: mklink /j 'C: Program Files (x64)' 'C: Program Files' 3) Build your regular windows shortcuts using the C: Program Files (x64) directory rather than the C: Program Files directory.
