*This article is base on a thread on help site, which I won't name here. Just a heads up in case anyone runs across the thread. Not intending to two time, just looking to spread the word on Process Lasso a little bit. For anyone using Process Lasso, I thought I would post this, just to take some of the mystery out of the program. I have b...
In a past blog I went over some ways I have discovered to optimize the run-time and multi-tasking capabilities of Windows based operating systems. I based the discussion on my experiences with Windows operating systems and how they all tend to respond in the same ways to user usage patterns. Then I added some freeware software programs that have helped me...

These are the 20 freeware programs as of February 18, 2013 that I would install first on Windows XP. Might say this is not very important, since this is only Windows XP, but I still believe XP will survive the service cut off date of April 8, 2014, when support is scheduled to end for SP3. I've seen gloomy predictions, but I am staying with XP to the bitt...

The subject started me thinking of the annual costs of maintaining this type of system and also my current 3 hard drive system. On the surface this seemed l...

I am not a programmer, so I assume no one will take very seriously what I have on the topic of PC optimization. All I can say is it has been on my mind for about 20 years, and it's all I've focused on more the most part when it comes to PCs.When I use a PC, I stay locked in on how the PC is performing. Up until the last 2 years, I never had things like te...

Bored this evening, so I am conducting a tutorial on how to move the start menu to a more logical area on the screen. Screens are getting bigger and more and more programs need an icon in the system tray, so, especially for right handers, this kind of set up makes sense.

The recent widget announcement by MS over a virus scare in Vista/7 shook my confidence to an all time low with the company...depths I'd have never before imagined it could reach. I mean, I REALLY bought into the hope and promise for a peaceful and prosperous world that Windows 3.1 created. Honestly, I'm really sad over the whole thing.The widgets? They ar...

It's a pretty tricky thing to do, finding the freeware application that incorporates all the features one is looking for in one program. Sometimes the job requires some forward thinking, and matching programs with various features can be the best solution. Again, this can make choosing very difficult.
