Posted on July 14, 2008 by admin | No Comments
Wubi is an officially supported Ubuntu installer for Windows users that can bring you to the Linux world with a single click. Wubi allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu as any other Windows application, in a simple and safe way.
No need to burn a CD. Just run the installer, enter a password for the new account, and click “Install”, and when you are back, Ubuntu will be ready for you.
You keep Windows as it is, Wubi only adds an extra option to boot into Ubuntu. Wubi does not require you to modify the partitions of your PC, or to use a different bootloader, and does not install special drivers. It works just like any other application. Wubi is spyware and malware free, and being open source, anyone can verify that.
Wubi keeps most of the files in one folder, and if you do not like it, you can simply uninstall it as any other application.

TWEAKUI (Windows XP Powertoys)
Posted on July 10, 2008 by admin | No Comments
TWEAKUI is one of the most known Windows Powertoys/Powertools (issued but not supported by Microsoft) to tweak the User Interface (UI). With this tool you are able to change settings, which aren’t reachable within Windows. As an example you can make changes to the desktop and start menu, which are not within reach unless you know how to make changes in the Windows registry.
The past time many (free and commercial) tweak applications have seen the light. Most of them have even more options then the Microsoft TWEAKUI tool. Essentially they all work the same, but with different interfaces. On this page I discuss the TWEAKUI tool, this tool doesn’t give many troubles when used improperly..
Download and setup TWEAKUI Powertoy
Besides TWEAKUI there are more Windows Powertoys available. You will find them here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
Here you will find the other powertoys too, most interesting powertoys are ALT-TAB Replacement (!), Power Calculator, ClearType tuner and the Virtual Desktop Manager).
Would you like more tweaking options then TWEAKUI can provide you? The most ultimate tweak utility is X-Setup (download: www.x-setup.net). All known tweaks are available (and explained!) in this massive utility. At first, this application is a bit overwhelming, but that shouldn’t be a problem because of the provided Wizards.
Another interesting tweak utility is Doug’s Security Console (download: www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_securityconsole.htm), this tool makes it easy to change many settings (especially security settings). With this tool you can prevent changes to the Windows settings by other users. In this context it can be useful to have a look at the the Microsoft Shared Computer Toolkit (download: www.microsoft.com/sharedaccess). With this tool you are able to restore Windows to default settings after every reboot.
Windows search optimization
Posted on July 10, 2008 by admin | No Comments
Within Windows XP you are able to search your computer for files (Start, Search), but takes some clicking to get what you want! To optimize the search function, you have to make some registry changes. To make changes, navigate to the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
where you will find some important DWORD-values. Change these values to optimize your Windows search:
SearchSystemDirs=1
SearchHidden=1
IncludeSubFolders=1
CaseSensitive=0
SearchSlowFiles=1 (if you have a tape drive, else: 0)
Windows Registry Editor: REGEDIT
Posted on July 10, 2008 by admin | No Comments
The registry contains many many Windows settings (and changes continuously), which can be viewed with the Registry Editor. Because many pages on this site (and other websites) contain registry tweaks, you need the Registry Editor to apply those registry tweaks. The Registry Editor is started with the command REGEDIT (Start, Run…, create a shortcut if you use Registry Editor frequently). Welcome in the world of the registry entries!
Most important to remember using the Registry Editor: there is NO WAY back. If you change something, it is permanent unless you have made a (partly) registry backup (File, Export). Worst case scenario: your Windows doesn’t boot anymore! However, this is not a reason to leave the Registry Editor for what it is, frightened to do something wrong. If you carefully follow the instructions and ensure yourself you are making the right changes, nothing will go wrong. Before you make permanent major changes, it’s wise first to make a system backup, to repair any damage.
Making changes to the registry
As shown below, the registry (Start, Run, REGEDIT) contains 5 basic keys: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, HKEY_CURRENT_USER, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, HKEY_USERS and HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG. Most suggested registry tweaks will be suggested for the HKEY_CURRENT_USER and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE keys. The first key contains settings for the current user account while the second key contains settings for the Windows system.
Tweaks for the HKEY_CURRENT_USER keys can be safely tested by creating an extra user account (Control Panel, User accounts). Within the new test user account you can test those tweaks and remove the user account afterwards. Before you make essential changes to the registry, you can export the keys first to a *.REG file by File, Export within the Registry Editor. Later you can import those registry files by File, Import or by double clicking on them in the Windows Explorer. This way it’s easy to export registry settings from one computer to the other.
An important function within the Registry Editor is the search function (Edit, Search). Using the F3 key makes it easy to find next items in the registry.
TRACKING CHANGES IN THE WINDOWS REGISTRY :
Most tools make changes in the registry keys. If you would like to know which changes take place, you can find them with a realtime monitoring tool like Process Monitor (download: www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/processmonitor.mspx). If you would like to compare the difference before and after a change, you can create snapshots and calculate the changes. You can do this with trialsoftware like Advanced Registry Tracer (download: www.elcomsoft.com/art.html) or Tracker (download: www.evansprogramming.com/tracker.asp).

SPEED UP UR ACROBAT READER (ALMOST LIKE NOTEPAD)
Posted on July 8, 2008 by admin | No Comments
1. Go to the installation folder of acrobat reader
(C:\program files\adobe\acrobat\reader\.. whatever)
2. Move all the files and folders from the “plugins” directory to the “Optional” directory. (I repeat.. cut and paste the files NOT copy & paste).
Also make sure that acrobat reader is not open else it will lock the files and not allow you to move the files).
Now your acrobat reader will load very fas
t and almost as good as notepad
[but sometimes some pages will be failed while loading then u need to revert back the process]
