I’m pretty sure most of you’ll liked the Google Chrome look, I must say it’s visually appealing! Well, if you’re a Firefox user who likes the Chrome look then here’s something for you, it’s a coat of Chrome for Firefox, a bright and soft blue theme.
If you use Firefox you might have noticed the waiting time involved while installing a new firefox addon. Well, it’s just a few seconds so shouldn’t be a problem. But if you don’t lke to wait then here’s a short and easy tip for removing the waiting time:
I recently observed a weird problem in the right click menu in XP, the moment I right click on my desktop it takes like lot of time to open the menu. I was trying to figure out what the problem was. After sometime I figured out that it was some item in the menu that was resulting in delay in displaying the menu.
I downloaded ShellExView and opened it and arranged all the items according to Type. I found a list of various items relating to type- Context menu, I tried disabling each of them to see which one was creating the problem. I finally realized that it was the ATI software which appeared in the menu that slowed down the menu. As soon I disabled the ATI software option in the menu the menu popped up really fast.
I somehow don’t like the new address bar used in Firefox 3, I still prefer the old address bar in FF2. The new address bar saves my viewed browsing history without my knowledge! Well, I like the auto complete feature, it’s pretty cool. I tried disabling the “smart” option in the Option menu but there is no direct way to do it. So the indirect way to do is by going to about:config. Here’s how you do it:
Bloggers and designers usually take screenshots of web pages; they do it by either using a software or an addon. Well, if you’re using Firefox then you can install the addon- Fireshot to capture screenshots of web pages. But let’s look into some other way which allows you to take screenshots without installing any program or addon.
If you’re using Vista you might have come across UAC (User Access Control). It’s a security feature which protects your computer from various threats like malicious programs, privacy breakers, etc. Whenever you open a new program or start an installation or anything for that matter, it opens up a box in which you have to give your permission to continue. Well, this is pretty good as it protects your computer but at the same time it’s a bit annoying as it keeps on popping every now and then and it doesn’t remember users choice, so you have to keep clicking continue even on the application that you launch frequently. Some people because of these cons simply disable UAC.
Here’s a tiny yet very useful software that I would like to share with you’ll. Smart Shutdown is pretty useful for people like me who listen to music and fall asleep, as my bed’s near to my computer I sometimes forget to switch off my computer and fall asleep. This software has saved me from my mom’s scolding’s many times.
Some of you Vista users might have experienced an annoying problem in Vista. This problem has infected many pcs with XP as well. The folder view settings set by the user for a particular folder get reset from time to time. Windows remembers by default the folder view settings of 200 local folders and 200 network folders initially. Windows Vista remembers 5000 folders which are usually enough for most users. But users having more than 5000 folders experience this problem. Here’s an easy registry tweak which fixes this problem. Here’s how you do it:
