    7 Great Computer User Tips – For Windows Users Only

    An Easy Performance Enhancement

    If youre using the NTFS filing protocol on your system, instead of FAT32, you can get a bit more speed by disabling Windows Indexing. The downside to this is that searching your drive for a specific file might take a moment or two longer, but everything else should run faster.

    To disable this feature open My Computer and then right click on the drive you wish to reset usually C-drive. Now click on Properties and then uncheck Allow Indexing Service. It will take Windows a few moments to accomplish this task, based on your processor speed. If you have other hard drives, perform the same process for them. After this is done, its a good idea to empty the Recycle Bin and then Defragment your hard drive(s).

    FREE Software

    If you have a system and it does not have an office suite, such as Microsoft Office, and you dont want to pay several hundred dollars to have one, try Open Office. This is a great alternative to other suites, and its free! Simply direct your browser to www.openoffice.org and follow the instructions for downloading and installation. Make no mistake, this free office suite is an extremely powerful set of software tools easily a match for any competitor.

    Internet Explorer (Microsofts Internet browser) is unarguably the standard in computers. This is why hackers develop so many malware applications to invade it. If you use a different browser, you have much less chance of an invasion by malicious software. There is a great alternative available, and its free. You can download a copy of Firefox at www.mozilla.org/products/firefox. You can even move your Internet Explorer settings into Firefox automatically so you dont lose your Favorites, etc.

    Laptop Printer Fix

    If youre using a laptop that is running Windows ME, and youre having trouble printing through the USB, try this simple fix. Go to the website for the company that manufactures your printer. If you use a Hewlett-Packard, for example, go to www.HP.com and download the appropriate drivers and install them. ME has drivers that recognize the USB printer is present and attached, but not the drivers needed to make it print. Which drivers you download and install will be dependant on your printer. After installing new drivers, update the printer as necessary in the Control Panel.

    Save $$$ When Shopping On-line

    If youre making a purchase on-line, and you know the item you want to buy, you can easily compare pricing all across the Internet. This can amount to a very substantial savings.

    At this writing, I went to www.mysimon.com and typed in that I wanted to buy a printer: a Canon PIXMA iP4000. The service instantly checked the Internet and returned prices ranging from $62.00 up to $286.00. This kind of price spread is not at all unusual, especially for computers and electronics.

    The My Simon website service only checks pricing, it does not provide a platform for purchasing anything, though it does link to such places. It also gives a rating for the sellers and other users input regarding their experiences with the company. You can order the results of the search for your product by price, so that you can quickly find the lowest price from the highest rated dealer.

    Windows XP Professional Only

    A feature of Windows XP Professional, that is not available in the Home Edition, is the ability to encrypt files. This encryption prevents others from opening the files in the folder you encrypt. To encrypt one or more a folders, follow these easy steps.

    Click Start, then My Documents. Now locate the folder you wish to encrypt and right click on it and choose Properties.

    On the General tab, click on Advanced. Put a tick mark in the box for Encrypt Contents to Secure Data. Click okay two times and the confirmation dialog box will appear allowing you to select the folder, the folder and all files, and/or the subfolders within it.

    Now you’ll be able to place files in this folder (or folders) and since they’re encrypted, others will not be able to access them.

    Internet Safety

    You should never reveal your username or password to anyone who e-mails you and asks for it. This information is frequently asked for by an Internet scheme called phishing.

    In a common phishing scam, you receive an e-mail that looks quite official. It usually appears to come from a bank or credit card company. A common title for these e-mails is We need to verify your account information. Another is Please logon to your account and verify your settings. If you do click where instructed, youll end up on a site that appears to be the real one. If you fill in the username and password for of your on-line banking account, you can expect serious problems within twenty-four hours.

    If you believe that a company or business that you do on-line business with really does require your information, then simply contact them. This way, you will know where you are sending your information, and what it will be used for.

    CD Burning Error Fix

    Burning music, video, and data CDs has become quite popular over the past few years, and the evolution of the supporting technology has yielded hardware and software that is better than ever and very reasonably priced. CDs offer a great place to store substantial amounts of data in a small, easily retained format. They also give us new control over aspects of our entertainment.

    A relatively common error received during CD burning informs you that the CD cannot be burned, or that there was an error during burning. Of course, you could actually have a defective CD drive, but this is usually not the case.

    If you receive a message indicating that your CD cannot be burned, go to the website of your CD drive manufacturer. Look for the list of CD types (manufacturers/numbers) that are compatible with your device. Most often, youll find that your CDs are not listed. The two types that seem to have the least difficulty being burned are manufactured by Sony and TDK. These cost a bit more, but they burn very reliably.

    Along the same lines H-P has introduced a new CD burner. This new burner requires the use of special CD blanks, but after you burn your data into the CD, you can flip it over and close the drive again. Then you can use the laser to burn a title for the CD directly onto the CD itself. Its new technology, but perhaps it will catch on and well see newer, better such devices in the near future.

    A Debt Consolidation Loan Help Get Your Finances Back On Track

    Recent studies have shown that an average individual in a developed country spends almost forty per cent of his or her monthly salary before earning it. Todays society runs on credit and with loans being easily available for the fulfillment of each and every desire, be it owning a new car or going on a holiday, we can easily be labeled a credit dependent society. However, a major downside to this credit trend that we are living with is that more and more people are finding it difficult to manage their numerous loans and landing themselves into bad credit situations. While some people actually end up in bad credit situations because of over spending and mismanagement, the majority of people who are finding it difficult to pay back their loans on time are those who have been faced with sudden job losses, illnesses, transfers or accidents. If you are also on the verge of getting into a bad credit situation or are already knee deep in loans that you are finding hard to pay back, then you should avail the help of a debt consolidation service as soon as possible.

    Many financial institutions offer debt consolidation services to people who want to make their debts more manageable. A debt consolidation firm can be of great help to people who cannot pay back their numerous debts on time and are being forced to pay back even higher amounts as a result of increasing APRs and late fees. A debt consolidation service will pay off all your outstanding debts and consolidate the amount into a single loan which you will be required to pay back. So a debt consolidation loan will be the sum of all your debts put together. However, taking a debt consolidation loan is a better option than paying many separate loans with different terms of payments and different rates of interest. This is because companies offering debt consolidation loans will provide you with better rates of interest (much cheaper than what you were paying earlier) and more flexible terms of repayment. Apart from having to pay lesser amounts, a debt consolidation loan is easier to manage than your previous outstanding balances since you only have to make a single payment per month at a constant rate of interest.

    Based upon your needs and requirements, you can avail different types of debt consolidation loans. The cheapest and the most easy to get debt consolidation loan is the home equity loan where you get the loan after putting your house as collateral. This is also known as a secured debt consolidation loan. The major disadvantage associated with such loans is that you might end up losing your house if you default on paying back the loan. You can also get an unsecured debt consolidation loan where you do not provide any collateral, but these loans carry a much higher rate of interest than secured loans and also have stricter repayment terms. Many credit card companies also offer balance transfer cards where you can transfer all your outstanding balances to a single credit card which has a very low APR for the first few months.
