more random notes of sprucing up one's Windows environments

1. open "Disk Defragmenter" in Windows 7 by typing "Disk Defragmenter" at the start menu and then click the "Configure schedule..." button to set a schedule
2. when installing from an .iso to a VMware VM you may click on the CD option at the left navigation in VMware and there will be an option ("Use ISO image file:") for picking an .iso file at your main machine outside of your VMs
3. You can't add hard disk space to a VMware VM while it's running. You need to power it down first. Then, click the Hard Disk option at the left nav and pick "Utilities" to add space or "Add" to add a new partition. If you add a new partition, when you bring your VM back up you need to (assuming Windows Server 2008 R2) open Server Manager and drill down to Disk Management below Storage. Right-click on the grey title of the partition and pick "Online" and then right-click again and pick "Initialize Disk" and finally right-click in the white of the horizontal slat of the drive listing and pick: "New Simple Volume"
