Here’s a nice theme for your desktop based on James Cameron’s Avatar movie that will keep you in the world of Pandora all the time you are on your PC. The most interesting thing about this desktop theme is that it’s absolutely FREE. Unfortunately, this theme is only available for computers running Windows 7.
Windows 7 can analyze the power consumption of your laptop and increase its battery life. First close all programs except which that start when Windows starts.
- Pull down the Start menu. Right-click Command Prompt in the Accessories folder, choose Run as administrator from the menu that appears.
- The Command Prompt window appears.

- To disable the services and programs not essential, type msconfig in the search box in the Start menu and press Enter.

We usually involve the mysterious U.S. intelligence agency NSA (National Security Agency) to feats of espionage, high technology, but the organization is also very involved in improving software security.
They even advised Microsoft during the development of Windows 7.
According to Richard Schaeffer of the NSA, it is important that the agency is cooperating with Microsoft and other software publishers because the growing dependence of “computer products of the private sector” could threaten the national security of the United States.
By creating and maintaining high security standards, the U.S. government agency hopes to reduce the danger to the “growing threat of cyber-attacks”. Even if it seems from a good intention, when we see the words “NSA” and “Microsoft” in the same sentence has something a little disturbing.
Asus has released a guide to upgrade to Windows 7 for the Eee PC 1000H netbook, which is far from being the latest netbook. Anyway, it includes an Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz, 1GB of RAM and a 160GB hard drive (other former models have half the storage space) among others. Although Asus has already stopped manufacturing the Eee PC 1000H for some time, it’s nice to see they care about the interests of their clients with this guide.
The Patch Tuesday, which occurs the second Tuesday of each month is the day that Microsoft makes available to its customers the latest security patches for its softwares.

Who would have thought that Windows 7 and Ubuntu could coexist? There is a way to set up the dual boot in your machine. Follow this guide and it’s good – it must still be knowledgeable about computers and operating systems during the process.
According to various tests on the web, it seems that Windows 7 will reduce considerably the battery life of netbooks compared to Windows XP. Thus, the battery life of the Toshiba mini NB205 goes from 9:24 with XP to 8:51 with 7. Same punishment with the ASUS Eee PC 1008HA: battery life of 5:40 under XP, 4:43 under 7. Finally, with an HP Mini 311, it’s 5:43 of battery life under XP, and 4:52 under Windows 7.
Note that the tests were performed using the netbook in a continuous surfing the net via Wi-Fi.
Microsoft executives smiling from one ear to another, because Windows 7 has broken all sales records of the firm, regarding the launch of an operating system. The first sales were described as “fantastic” and have generated more revenue in their first 10 days compared to all other versions of Windows in the past, in the same period of time.
Here is the list of the main commands to use under Windows XP, Vista and 7.
When you are under Windows Vista and 7 operating systems, you will notice that the command “Run”, which is quite customary and helpful with its little brother XP, does not exist.
You should therefore make it operational (this trick also applies to Windows XP).

You can also type your commands directly in the “Search” from Start Menu.
