A few friends of mine have been asking me if there is anyway we can change the wallpaper of windows 7 starter edition since Microsoft deleted the option of changing the wallpaper.
Here in one way of doing it:
Educate your children about the dangers of sharing information online with strangers. You can block certain websites from your computer without using any software.
Here are the steps
1.) Open “Run” from the start menu (or press WinKey + r). Just copy paste the following path and hit ENTER.
notepad %windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Alternately, go to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc and find the file “hosts”. Open that file in Notepad.
2.) When this hosts file is opened in Notepad, at the end of the file you will see something like “127.0.0.1 localhost”.
A lot of people prefer multitasking. The best tool for that purpose is virtual desktops. Virtual desktops provide the opportunity to run many desktops at the same time from a desktop computer or laptop. It is very easy to switch among the desktops by just using a button. Every virtual desktop can possess its unique applications as well as a different background. The feature of virtual desktops is not included in Windows XP by default. However, you can easily get virtual desktops on Windows XP. The means to get virtual desktops on Windows XP is very safe for the computer. All you have to do to get virtual desktops on Windows XP is to use software. This software provides four desktops to use.
Choose the option “Complete” for installing.
It will be installed in a very little time. Right click on the taskbar at the bottom of your screen.
Point to Toolbars. You will now see the new option called Desktop Manager.
Click on Desktop Manager.
The desktop manager toolbar will appear:
Every blue button represents a unique desktop. The green button can be used to preview the four virtual desktops.
Right-click on one of the buttons to see the options for configuration.
Success! This is the preview of the virtual desktops:
When you are working on your local computer and want to refresh any changes in your system automatically. For example some times you are watching sports results, online Stock Exchange rates and any changes to your hard drive but these changes are not usually refreshed until you press the F5 key on your keyboard.
To refresh your screen automatically you should edit your system Registry. But the best technique to edit the windows registry keys, always export or backup the whole windows registry keys on backup drive before editing. Because any mistake in Registry can cause serious problem in your computer to run properly.
Follow the given steps to change the updates automatically.
First click on Start button then type Regedit in Run option.
In Registry Editor panel go to the path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / System / CurrentControlSet /

DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) is basically 24-hours on internet connection and working with high speed up to 10 Mbps. DSL service provider offering different packages with speed 128 Kbps to 10 Mbps. But the actual speed at user end may be different from user to user due to the modem speed, telephone line condition and the distance between services provider to user home. If you want your DSL working with good speed and error free then make sure there is no any joint between telephone line tower and modem line. Your DSL modem may be heat up, hang and slow, if your DSL modem continually on for 24-hours, then restart it to solve this problem.
To send an Internet fax, the subscriber creates an email. The fax content can be written in the body of the email, and attachments are normally permitted. The destination fax number is entered in the "To" field, along with "@" and the Internet fax service name. For example, if the fax number were 1-550-234-5678, the email would be addressed to 15502345678@site.com. In the "Subject" field the user enters the name of the recipient, "Attn: Mr. Jam" for example.
A small toolbar, available for download from the Internet fax service, is used as a plug-in inside the email program. Clicking on the "Send" button on the toolbar sends the email to the Internet fax service. Upon receipt, an automated program converts the email to a fax format, then faxes to the number supplied in the "To" header. The recipient receives the fax normally, through his or her fax machine.
This service can be very convenient. Of the many advantages, your assigned fax number is active 24 hours a day, so that your account can accept faxes around the clock. Contrast this with using a fax machine, which relies on your phone system being free to accept a fax. For those that use one phone line for fax, telephone, and dial-up, an Internet fax service is especially handy. Internet fax services also save paper and fax toner, and do not rely on a serviceable fax machine. All faxes are sent and received as files. They can be printed by choice, but it isn't necessary.
A further advantage of an Internet fax service is that the subscriber does not need to be familiar with faxing software or fax machines. The convenience of sending and receiving faxes by using the familiar email interface appeals many people.
One of the best features of Internet fax services is that many offer toll-free fax numbers for the U.S. and Canada, so that your U.S. and Canadian clients can fax you for free. Sending faxes is also free of phone charges for the subscriber, as he or she is only sending emails.
When looking into Internet fax services, consider a service that offers a secure website. This provides a mobile "portal" to send/receive faxes while you're on the road or away from home. Confirmation of sent faxes should be standard, so you can be sure your client got your communication. The ability to send to more than one fax number at a time can also be valuable. Check for a page capacity, as some services may limit the amount of pages the subscriber can send/receive in a month.
This tip is very useful for home users, particularly for those who want to hide/secure their important data from other users. You can hide any specific local drive or all drives (physical and removable) of the system and network drives also. By disabling the display of drives, you can make your personal data safe from non-technical users on a single computer.
Follow the given steps to change the system drives registry value:
administrative rights.
Click Start button and type regedit in Run option then press Enter for next.
Here locate the location to:
· HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion \Policies\Explorer
Here in right side panel, right click to create a new DWORD value
with name NoDrives (it is case sensitive), then assign number
to its value data box.
· For specific drive use values (For example, for A, B, C, D, E, F, G,
H drives, the values are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128 respectively).
· In this case we are trying to hide F drive, so we modify the value data
box to 32.
· Now close the registry editor and restart your computer after any
changes to go into effect.
· But next time, if you want to unhide this drive then simply change
the value data box or delete the DWORD item.
Again close the registry editor and restart your computer after any
changes to go into effect.
In Word 2007, most of the shortcut keys are same from the earlier versions such as Word 2000 and Word 2003. But the interesting thing in Word 2007 is that, Microsoft provides a new look or system for these shortcuts keys. In earlier Word versions, you must memorize how to use the shortcuts keys such as (CTRL + B" to make letters bold and "CTRL + I" to make letters italic). But now, it does not require planned memorization in latest Word 2007 version. There is a fast, simple, and visual way to find out what you need to press.
Hardware problems are quite difficult to tackle, worse if under Windows. There was once when installing a software, I accidentally inserted the Audio hardware diskette. Thinking it was harmless, I went on, thinking I can always "undo" everything again. How wrong was I. The next moment I restarted Windows, I got the blue screen of death. Yeah, Windows is very nasty when it comes to hardware.
Now click on Search button to start the search process of temporary files on your system local drives.
After some time, windows locate the list to temporary files. Here arrange the all temp files as Date modified.
Now open the PowerPoint and try to open these temp files or double click on that file to run in PowerPoint.
Here a dialog box will appear with the title "System Properties", select "Advanced" tab.
Turns off all the visual effects in the option of "Adjust for best performance" and when you select the option "Adjust for best appearance" it will give you opposite effect , everything will turn on. Selecting "Let Windows choose what's best for my computer" triggers, as you might guess, different choices on different computers. And to pick and choose individual effects yourself, choose "custom" then decide which one you want.
