Two Windows great tips

So, if you have a netbook, no optical unit, untill now, it was really hard for you to install Win7. You’d have to go to a lot of crap to create just a simple bootable usb. No, a great tool has been released: Microsoft Windows 7 bootable usb creator. You can get it here. You just have to install it by following a simple step by step wizard. All you need is your Win7 iso and a pendrive.

Second tip goes to all of you whom just bought a new Windows machine. OEMs are paid by software companies to install on new machines, all kinds of trial software. Basically they sell you a computer that runs slow because it’s filled with crapware. PCDecrapifier is a tool that does your job of cleaning up. Get it here. All you have to do is  a simple “Next” sequence, to get in neat shape again. The first elements that the software prompts you to remove, are the start-up programs that you don’t need, and then lists all your installed software, so you could again do a through job. Just remember, at the beginning of the wizard to create a restore point so you can undo something bad with the Windows Restore system.

Windows 7 GodMode hack

It’s the ultimate power in Windows 7. A Folder above all Folders. Funny I know. It’s a 7 trick, that creates a special place, where you can find all of the system’s settings, and it’s very easy to create.

You just have to create anywhere on the disk a new folder, and rename it to something + . + {ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

Example: GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

 

Best of luck and be careful not to mess anything up!

New Toy

So this post is just to brag. I just got my new toy, my new Asus eeePC 1005HA, and I’m very proud of it. It’s great. I have Windows 7 Starter and I installed BackTrack 4, but currently my wifi doesn’t work on BT4, so if it’s something interesting, you know you’ll get a “fix it”.

 

And so I won’t forget,

 

Happy New Year!!!
