Avoid Automatic Installation of updates while shutting down of Notebook PC
On a notebook it is better to decide yourself when windows should install the available updates. Suppose you are on low battery and while your computer is shutting down , it is installing updates, and if suddenly the computer turns off( due to low battery), it may cause system instabiliy. Though you can recover by using restore points( that are created by windows update,in this case, so as to backup the windows ) , but it is advisable to turnoff the installation of updates if your Notebook is on battery and instead the update installation should take place when your notebook is on AC power. Just do the following:
Open notepad and type the following( in the same way)Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU]
"NoAU AsDefaultShutdownOption"=dword:00000001
Now save the above file with name "disable_au_shutdn.reg" and close the file. Now double click on the file name and select "Yes" when prompted.

Most of you must have heard about DirectX, whenever you install a PC game it usually asks also to install its own DirectX files. If they aren't installed correctly you usually get error sayin d3dx9__.dll/d3dx10__.dll etc. not found.
Actually both OpenGL and DirectX are the standards for development for games.
They are used by the games to interact with the hardware components etc. to run on the machine,that is why often while installing games you are prompted to install DirectX components so that those games can interact with your machine, also many times Visual C++ runtime components are also installed because developers mostly use Visual C++ as the preferred option for DirectX coding.
DirectX is used by the Microsoft Windows and Xbox series, while OpenGL is cross-platform based and can be used by Mac, various versions of Linux unlike the former one .
OpenGL actually stands for Open Graphics Library and was open source.
On the other hand DirectX stands for "Direct3D, DirectInput and DirectSound" and was developed by Microsoft Corp. to encourage game developers to use windows first choice( and so far it has succeded by its extensive marketing campaign). So, do checkout the above link.
As with any type of programming, writing bug-free, efficient scripts that meet your expectations takes a bit of work. The following sections provide some tips and hints to make that work take less time and go more smoothly.
Hi, people check out the above link to know how you can build your own accelerator.
Accelerators let you act on data in a Web page. You can select a few lines of text and send it to a blog or email it with a click. Using a previously installed Accelerator, this action "executes" the desired activity by navigating to the desired Web site with the selected portion of the article already available in the edit field. You can also act on data without going to another Web site using "preview" Accelerators; for example, you can translate a word or map an address. Hover over an Accelerator with your mouse to view the preview window.
NOTE: You'll learn to bulid an XML accelerator. So, it is advised to proceed if you have knowledge on XML programming. If you don't know still you can proceed but be a bit careful.
Well most of you dream about having a Mac but surely for most of us, it's still out of reach. With the launch and success of netbooks many of us thought that Apple may also expand its reach but didn't happen to be. A remark from Apple came saying that, "We don't know how to build a 500$ computer", thus bringing an end to our hopes that Macintosh may be in our reach.
But when Apple decided to launch itself for Intel series of processors, a project was started by an organisation called 'Hackintosh' to bring Apple to non-apple hardware. So, check out this link to know how you can build your own Mac.
You’re having problem connecting to a computer in a network, first thing you should do is to PING the computer. Ping is a computer network tool used to test whether a particular host is reachable across an IP network. It is also used to self test the network interface card of the computer, or as a speed test. It works by sending ICMP “echo request” packets to the target host and listening for ICMP “echo response” replies.
Although Ping is useful for network administrators, computer hackers also use Ping to find potential victims on the Internet. By pinging a specific IP address and receiving a response from the IP address, a hacker can determine that something of interest might be there. If you can configure your computer to block ping response, it should heightens the level of security for your computer.
