I created this PowerShell utility to backup MySQL databases to a path. You execute it in by right clicking on the script in Windows Explorer and select Run with PowerShell or run it with the PowerShell command line:
./MySQL_Backup.ps1
The script can be downloaded here: MySQL_Backup.ps1.

You can redirect an ASP.NET page using one of three methods. The first method is through metatag redirection. If that fails, then it will try to redirect with JavaScript. If that fails, a URL will be displayed that the user can click on to redirect the page.
An HTML 5 only version of this redirect page can be found in the post Redirecting Pages in HTML 5.
— ASP.NET code below —
<%@ Page Language="C#" %> <!DOCTYPE html> <script runat="server"> </script> <html> <head runat="server"> <title>Page Title</title> <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; url=http://www.website.com"> <!-- If the meta tag doesn't work, try JavaScript to redirect. --> <script type="text/javascript"> window.location.href = "http://www.website.com" </script> </head> <body> <form id="form1" runat="server"> <div> <!-- If JavaScript doesn't work, give a link to click on to redirect. --> <p>If you are not redirected automatically, click <a href='http://www.website.com'>here</a>.</p> </div> </form> </body> </html>

Uninstalling a program in Windows doesn’t always delete the services that it was using. There is no way to delete a service from the interface in the Windows administrative tools, but you can do this manually through the command prompt.
Open the command prompt by press the Windows key and R (or alternately opening the Start menu and selecting the Run option).
Type sc delete ServiceName and press enter. If the service has spaces in its name, enclose ServiceName in double quotes, i.e. “Weather Monitor”.
The service will then be deleted from Windows.

Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 8/2012 has compatibility problems in using the Refresh meta tag to redirect pages to a new URL. You can get around this by including a JavaScript redirect and an HTML link in case that doesn’t work.
Replace all 3 instances of www.website.com below with the URL that you want to redirect to.
— HTML code below —
<!doctype html> <html> <head> <title>Page Title</title> <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; url=http://www.website.com"> <!-- If the meta tag doesn't work, try JavaScript to redirect. --> <script type="text/javascript"> window.location.href = "http://www.website.com" </script> </head> <body> <!-- If JavaScript doesn't work, give a link to click on to redirect. --> <p>If you are not redirected automatically, click <a href='http://www.website.com'>here</a>.</p> </body> </html>
