The Windows Registry is a database which contains information about almost everything you do on your computer; From a visit to a website to information and settings of  the hardware in your computer. The registry also contains information about drivers, other programs, user settings, etc.

So you can see that the often you use your computer, the more fuller the registry gets. I mean think about all the junk and temporary files stored on your computer, all those broken registry, which Windows forget to delete, etc. So that’s why your computer is getting slower and you notice a loss… Continue reading here »»

Almost a year ago I wrote a post called: “PDF to DOC Convertor“. The post was about  a small tool which allows you to convert any pdf file to a Microsoft word document, .doc file. This tool extracts text, images and shapes from the PDF file to doc file and lets you keep the layout. This tool did his job very good but some days ago Richard from  PDFtoWord.com left a comment saying:

You might like to check out our free PDF-to-Word service too — http://www.pdftoword.com. You do

Not so long ago I wrote a post called: “Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer“. Well, make that almost a year ago. Anyway, I’ve used Foxmarks ever since and I really have to say: I can’t live without it! There are just too many times that I’m at work, searching for something which I already had bookmarked at home. In this kind of situation I just log in to my.foxmarks.com and can simply access my bookmarks. Briliant isn’t it?

Now just a couple of days ago I recieved an email from Foxmarks (like many other Foxmarks users)… Continue reading here »»

Let’s start with a little basic stuff, shall we? FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol and is a very common method to transfer (large) files from “computer A” to “Computer B” or vice versa. Transferring files from a client computer to a server computer is called uploading and transferring from a server to a client is downloading.

In order to transfer files using FTP, you need:

• The FTP Server address;  This could look like “ftp.domainname.com” or it could look like “11.231.231.234″.
• Username and password. Some FTP servers let you connect to them anonymously so you don’t need a

For a long time I was looking for a free DVD/Multimedia player, one which was able to play the most media types such as DivX, Avi, Wmv, MPEG-1 etc.
In the past I’ve been using PowerDVD but I didn’t like it anymore. It began to frustrate me cause it took some time before it could start, it uses a lot of RAM (I have 3GB RAM installed but even with 3GB installed it freezes from time to time!). So as you can see, it was time for another software. One which could do the same and one which was… Continue reading here »»

I bet you have a USB key drive lying somewhere in your office or at home. I mean those things doesn’t cost that much these days and having one is really necessarily, not only you can use it for saving and caring your documents around, but you can also install portables applications on it like Firefox, Notepad++ and much more.

When you have portable applications installed on your USB key a small menu would be very handy, a menu with autorun to be exactly. A menu which could start when you insert the USB key in the computer.… Continue reading here »»

Some time ago, on 21th November to be exactly, I wrote a post about how you can disable the User Access Control (better known as UAC) in Windows Vista.

While surfing on the net I found a great small application for those who don’t want to disable the UAC. This application called Tweak UAC offers three options:

1. Turn the UAC off
2. Switch UAC to the quite mode
3. Turn the UAC on

The first and third option speak for them selfs but what about switching UAC to the quite mode? This options does not turn off UAC.… Continue reading here »»
