Hide accounts from welcome screen [How To]

Posted by Thomas On June - 30 - 20113 COMMENTS

17 Hide accounts from welcome screen [How To]This is a neat little trick for those spy wannabes, or those of you who are paranoid wanting a secret user account on your system.

Microsoft Standalone System Sweeper Tool

Posted by Thomas On June - 3 - 20113 COMMENTS

MicrosoftStandaloneSystemSweeper Microsoft Standalone System Sweeper ToolMicrosoft recently released a rather interesting beta the other day, called: Microsoft Standalone System Sweeper Tool. This is a tool designed to rescue and fix computers that cannot boot into windows. These days, many viruses, malware and what not target the boot sector of your hard drive, rendering the computer unbootable. And in many cases also unfixable to the windows Startup Repair Tool found on the Setup disk.

netbook 220x220 Hide and Show the Office Ribbon [Quick Tip]If you are using a smaller Laptop (netbook etc.) you are facing the problem (or should I say challenge) of  low screen resolution.

The lack of space (on your screen)  makes it difficult to see all the information you want at all times. I use my netbook as my primary email and communication computer. Mostly because of its handy size and portability. The resolution is a mere 1024x600px which is to say at least not very High-Res.
