When 'C:\Program Files' is actually 'C:\PROGRA~1'
So for whatever reason Unison (text mode) on Vista just wouldn’t except paths in command line arguments that had a space in it - it just so happened that the SSH connect batch file lived in ‘Program Files”. I tried quoting the path, escaping the space - just about everything under the sun. The only method that worked in the end was to change the ‘Program Files’ part...

Checkbox Problem
If you ever need to check a lot of checkboxes on a single and the interface doesn’t have an adequate facility for doing so (Exchange webmail…..), a little bit of javascript will save your mouse button; Type into the address bar and press enter:
