Office 2007 Annoyance

If you have Office 2007 and are annoyed with some of its features. Here are the fixes to correct them or just make them go away.

1- Add Features to the Quick Access Toolbar
Click the little down arrow on the right edge of the toolbar. You'll then see
commands like Open, Quick Print and Spelling & Grammer. Click any of them to
add to the Quick Access Toolbar. Likewise click any already check item to
remove them from the toolbar. If there is a feature that doesn't appear you
just right click on any icon and choose Add to Quick Access Toolbar, the same
goes if you want to remove them.
2- Remove the Quick Access Toolbar
This is a must if your had enough of it. To turn it off click on the Office
button and choose Word Options. Clear the check box for Show Mini Toolbar
on selection and press ok.

Windows XP folder Ownership

Reinstalled Windows XP but now you can view your files that were in your My Documents folder. What you have is a violation of the ownership folder and hopefully this link will fix it.

Link

If not your best bet is to copy all the files that are someone in your c drive and reformat Windows completely.

Don't Do it to Windows

Yes the following is a waste of time on Windows.
It's your choice on believing or not.

1- Vista multiple core improves boot time
There is an option in Msconfig utility that lets you set the number of processors for boot time and by default it's set to off.

2- Clearing prefetch directory (or cache) improves start time
Actually all this does in most cases is extends the boot time.

3- Disabling QoS and IPv6 will improve bandwidth and web performance
I still can't find any good enough reason to do so.

4- Turning off System Restore improves performance
I wouldn't chance risking my backups.

5- Clearing out cached and temp files improves performance, especially in web browser.

6- Disabling the last access time stamp will boost performance.
I wouldn't suggest on doing this because one day this might just help you resolve a known problem.

Do It to Windows

Here are a few Windows tweaks that are worth doing

Do
1- Disabling XP's indexing saves on performance

2- In Vista write caching will improve SATA drive performance
To do this go to Explorer right click drive you want to speed up and select
properties -> click Hardware tab and -> select properties -> Policies tab and check both of the boxes beneath "Optimize for performance"

3- Disable unused network connections will improve boot time.

4- Tweak virtual will improve performance
To do this go to the Control Panel -> Advance under performance click Settings -> Advanced. In Virtual memory module click change -> custom size then up both Initial and Maximum size to roughly double your amount of RAM. Click Set and ok.

5- Ready Boost will improve system performance

6- Eliminate the Recent Documents / Recent Items folder with a registry hack
In XP install TweakUI and browse to Explorer then uncheck Allow Recent Documents on Start Menu. In Vista right click the taskbar and click Start Menu tab and uncheck Store and display a list of recently opened files.

7- Turn off the Windows splash screen will save time off your boot.
In XP at the run prompt type msconfig -> click the boot.ini tab and select
the /NOGUIBOOT option. Vista is similar instead its select the No GUI Boot option.

8- Defragmenting your hard drive improves performance

Kill Disk

Great application to help you wipe out a hard drive sensitive information that can be of value to others. It's better to be safe than sorry.

Remove Outlook Express

Having problems with Outlook Express or don't see they need for Windows to take up space when you need it the most.
Just remove Outlook Express if you really don't even use it.

Go to Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Disk CleanUp -> pick C drive if it gives you a choice and once Disk Cleanup opens up select the More Options tab.
In More Options click on Windows Components and select Outlook Express to remove it from your computer.

.......................................

or go to DOS and type the following commands
cd\ ENTER
cd\windows\system32 ENTER
osuninst.exe ENTER

Office Diagnostics

Having problems with your Office applications and can't seem to resolve them. Try Office Diagnostics and it just might eliminate those problems.

Flash Resumes

There has been lots of controversy in the past few months on online Resumes. Although this is a difficult time for everyone. The job market is jammed with millions of resumes and online resumes are a way to be noticed faster.
Just be cautious on who you give access to your online resume account and remember that with identity theft. It just makes it easier for thieves to steal your identity. So try to make your online resume brief and leave out the personal information for now.

C drive Installation Problems

I recently had a software installation problem when I recently upgraded my SATA drive on my current computer. Instead of the main drive reading C, which is standard for most computers. My computer choose E drive as it's home drive. There is nothing wrong with having E drive as your home computer, except some software's are programed to excute and install on the current C drive. Making installations fail or almost impossible. One way to fix this is to go to the Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Mangement -> Disk Mangement. All you need to do is change the drive letter to another drive and move the current C drive to another destination drive that doesn't conflict. If you do everything right there should be no C drive when you open My Computer.

Now to substitute the C drive so that you can install the current program that's looking for the C main drive. All you have to do is to go to Start -> Run -> type CMD and Enter. This will open up DOS and in DOS you just type the following:
subst c: e:\
(in which e is the current main drive that windows is booting up on your computer)
