BEST TOP 10 TIPS TO INCREASE SPEED OF UR PC

1>> Minimizing: If you want to use several programs at the same time then minimize those you are not using. This helps reduce the overload on RAM.

2>>Drivers: Update your hardware drivers as frequently as possible. New drivers tend to increase system speed especially in the case of graphics cards, their drivers are updated by the manufacturer very frequently!

3>>Start Up Programs: Windows can be slowed down when programs run on start up. To eliminate this, check your Start up folder. You can access it from the start menu: Start, Programs, Start Up. Another way to eliminate programs from loading even before Windows actually starts is by doing the following: Click on Start, then Run. Type msconfig. It will take quite a long time for this program to load, but when you finally see it on your screen, explore the different tabs. They all have to do with how quickly your PC boots, so select what you want, and uncheck what you don't want!

4>>Refresh the Taskbar without restarting: If you in some way change the taskbar, either in Regedit or elsewhere, you can refresh the task bar without restarting. Hold down Ctrl Alt Del, and double click on Explorer. Say Yes to close Explorer, but no to closing Windows. This will refresh the Taskbar and system tray.

5>> Faster Start-Menu Access: Go to the Start menu and select Run. Now type Regedit and hit Enter. The Registry Editor will appear on the screen. Now, open the folder HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop. You should see a MenuShowDelay value. If you don't then do the following: right click on a blank space in the right pane and select New\String. Change the name in the new value to MenuShowDelay. Now that we have the MenuShowDelay value, double click on it and enter 0 in the value data field. This sets the start menu delay to 0 milliseconds.

6>>Restart only Windows: When restarting your PC, hold down Shift to only restart Windows rather than the whole system which will only take a fraction of the time.

7>>Defragment Often: defragment your drive, data is physically arranged on the drive so that applications will load faster.

8>> Wallpapers: They slow your whole system down, so if you're willing to compromise, have a basic plain one instead!

9>>Fonts: When Windows starts, it loads every single font in the Fonts folder. Therefore, the more fonts you have, the slower the booting process. To get rid of unwanted fonts, simply go to the Fonts folder under c:\windows and remove whatever you don't want. Fonts that have a red letter 'A' as their icon are system fonts, so don't delete them.

10>> Quick CD Eject: Instead of pushing the button on your drive, right-click your CD drive letter in My Computer and click on Eject. This will also remove any icons that have become associated with the CD drive.

Since there are different types of orders in the Forex market that would permit you to be more specific on how you want your traders to carry out your trades like whether you should place a stop or a limit order, you are entitled to command your broker about your prerogative to refuse the market price and instead you want to move your stock price in a particular direction before you execute your order.
In a stop order, your trade will be carried out once the security you want to buy or sell reaches a specified price (stop price). If this happens, a stop order essentially becomes a market order and is packed. And once the order is turned on, the investor is guaranteed an execution, but execution prices do not. This order is used by investors to control the loss that they might have or to lock in a profit on a stock. They may issue this order to their stock broker to automatically sell the stock if the price of stock would fall down to a particular price.
There are also instances that these stop orders are not always executed at the stop price. If an incident happens that the stock falls down suddenly by a huge amount, the stop order may be triggered and the stock could be sold. On the other hand, since stocks are always sold at a market price, the price might be below the stop price. This type of order is usually entered into a computer trading system and is automatically carried out whenever the price is at or below the stop price.
The use of this order is more common for stocks that trade on an exchange than the over the counter (OTC) market. Moreover, your broker-dealer would not permit you to lay this order on some securities nor accept a stop order for OTC stocks. Before entering into this type or order, consult first your broker or financial advisor about how this order works.
It is advantageous to investors to use the stop order because they can monitor their stocks for a period of time or on a daily basis and brokers may even position this order for no charge. Since investors commonly use this type of order, this allows them to have a quick and automatic response to stock price movements.
Buy and hold investors are doubtful to use this type of investment strategy. One disadvantage of this order is that the stop price could be activated by a short term variation in a stock’s price. Once your stop price is attained, this order becomes a market order and the price you had may be different from the stop price primarily in a fast moving market where stock prices vary swiftly.
The price of an order could be lower than the specified price by this order. In addition, investors must be careful about where they set a stop order for it may be harsh if it is turned on by a short term fluctuation in the stock’s price.

If you want to know why the Forex trading market is superiors to other investor options such as Equities or the futures market, then you can rest assure that you'll find the answer in this page.
The best way to clarify the advantages of the Forex market is through a real example. In 1929, the stock market collapsed, causing many people and businesses from around the world to go broke. This also happened when the high tech bubble burst. The fear of a market crash is a concern that constantly dwells in the minds of investors, both professional and beginner ones.
In the online Forex trading market, There is no way for the market to crash. If you have read about what is the Forex trading market, then you know that when you buy a certain currency, you are at the same time selling another currency. When some currencies' price false, others' price rise.
So this is the most important advantage of Forex day trading. Unlike other markets, where in some cases all traders lose money, with Forex trading there are always traders that make a profit, at any given time.
Here are some other advantages of the Forex trading market:
No commissions. Only in the Forex trading market are there no government fees, brokerage commissions, exchange fees and other unnecessary losses of cash. There are also low transaction costs between the bid and ask price.
No middlemen. In this market there are no investors that take a percentage of the investment or the profit, and you transact directly with the pricing market agent.
You can choose the size of your investment. The Forex trading lot is dynamic, and is set according to your preference. This lot can vary between large lots worth $10,000 to mini lots worth $25.
High liquidity. In the Forex trading market you can buy and sell your currency at any time and place, regardless of the currency position, when the trade itself is done almost instantaneously.
Trading in the margin. Forex trading consists of margin investments that increase your chances for higher profits by increasing your money's worth.
Opened 24 hours a day. Because it's worldwide and operates in several time zones, the Forex trading market is the only market that you can trade in 24 hours a day.
With all of these wonderful advantages, there is no wonder more and more investors choose Forex trading as there main fund for investment. Because all transactions can be done online, you don't even have to leave your house!

The modern online Forex history begins in 1973. Even though currency trading has been around since the times of ancient Egypt, which at that time the market was extremely primitive, and there were no advance trading tools as today's fundamental analysis, for example.
The first currency coins were used at the times of the pharos, and the first paper notes were then introduced by the Babylonians. Later on, the roman coin called aureus was used, which was followed by the denarius. Both coins had worldwide use, making them the first global foreign currency coins.
The Bretton Woods System (1944-1973), came after the great instability of World War II. England and other European countries were left in ruins, after the war ended, while the US's economy was left relatively stable and strong.
The USD became the prominent currency after WWII, mainly because of the war. The Dollar also became the new global reserve currency, and remained so throughout the rest of the Forex history. This was agreed upon in the Bretton Woods conference, when all of the other foreign currencies were pegged to the USD, and a new international financial network was formed.
In 1971, the Smithsonian Agreement was signed by ten of the major financial powers, but it's attempt to improve stability to the current Forex history failed.
Free Floating exchange rates came into use when the Bretton Woods agreement ended. This occurred after this international financial system was in operation for three decades in the Forex history.
During 1973, the UK, facing financial problems, floated it's currency. Other currencies began to lose value, and this led the European economies to also float their currencies.
1994 saw the first online currency trading introduced to Forex history. This had a large impact on the development of the Euro currency, and introduced a new major contender to the control of the USD in the Forex history. By 2002 the Euro became the official currency for 12 European nations, and in the past few years more nations have joined this agreement. The modern online forex history offered new options for the online trader, such as the use of margin account to leverage investments, and this is all thanks to the contribution of the internet to the forex history.

Opera 9.6: Speed Dial

Here's another dose of the Opera Web browser for you! If you didn't already know, the people over at Opera recently released the new Opera 9.6 and it's now available for download here. Opera claims to be the only browser that comes with everything you need to be productive, safe and speedy while online. Let’s take a quick look at the Speed Dial feature available in the new version. Here we go!

Speed Dial is a new method of quickly browsing to your favorite Web sites. When you hit the New Tab button, instead of the usual blank page, you'll see a 3 x 3 grid. The grid takes up the full screen and it's laid out in the fashion of a telephone dial with numbers from 1 to 9. Each number can be populated with a different URL, selected from either your existing favorites or entered manually. Now, I know you might be thinking that nine speed dials is not nearly enough. Well, lucky for you, there's an easy way to increase the number of speed dials. Let's check it out, shall we?!



1.) Open Opera and go to Help, About Opera. That will open a page that shows the version information, as well as, other useful information about Opera. Check the Paths section and copy the path for the Opera Directory.



2.) Close Opera and paste the path into the Run dialogue box. Hit OK and you'll then see the Opera profile directory.

3.) You’ll see the “speeddial.ini” file in the folder. Open the file in Notepad and add the following lines to the end of the file:

[Size]

Rows=4

Columns=5

In the above code, 4 and 5 are just examples. You can replace them with your desired numbers.



4.) Save the file and open Opera again. Now, you’ll be able to see more speed dials in Opera!



Enjoy it, my friends!

Folder Lock

Are you tired of your friends, co-workers or children messing with your important computer files? Well, it doesn't have to be like that anymore! If you start using Folder Lock, you'll see just how easy it can be to safeguard your sensitive files against unwanted access. Folder Lock works with Windows Vista, XP, NT, ME and 98 and it's so easy to use. Let's check it out, shall we?!

Folder Lock is a fast data encryption and password protection program for Windows. It can simultaneously encrypt, lock and password protect your files, folders, drives, USB drives and even your CD/DVD ROM drives.



Folder Lock creates encrypted storage spots called "lockers." You can keep as many of your private files and folders as you want in your locker and password protect them with just a single click. You can transfer, secure and back up your lockers as well. The lockers are portable, meaning you can keep them on a flash drive, on a CD or DVD or you can transfer them via e-mail. Plus, the lockers are incapable of being deleted as long as Folder Lock is installed on your computer.

You can treat the lockers just as you would in the physical world. For example, each single user can create multiple lockers with different passwords. With Folder Lock, you can choose to either encrypt using 256-bit AES on-the-fly encryption or you can lock your files, folders and drives anywhere on your computer. Each locker can contain your encrypted files, as well as, your personal list of locked items.

Furthermore, Folder Lock's options, such as hack attempt monitoring, stealth mode, data shredding, history cleaning and auto protection can enhance data security beyond anything ever achieved before. In addition, a locker's Delete, Move and Rename options are password protected to prevent data loss.

If you're interested, you can download Folder Lock for yourself right here. Enjoy!

Website:-Study Stack

Welcome to Study Stack! This is my favorite study Web site, because it integrates studying not only by traditional means (think flashcards), but it includes studying by playing games. I love to recommend this site to my friends in class who are getting ready to take the GRE (Graduate Record Examination).

Start by selecting the subject matter you’d like to study from the list provided. You’ll then be taken to a much larger list that has study stacks for the specific topic you chose. Choose a study stack from the list and you'll be taken to its page. There you can choose the method you'd like to study. Your options are: Notes, Flashcards, Study Stack, Study Table, Matching, Hangman, Crossword, Word Search, Unscramble, Type In, Bug Match, Export, Print, Edit, E-mail and Hmm.

Three options I really want to point out to you are Export, E-mail and Print. Export allows you to download the date to your cell phone, PDA, computer or even your iPod. The E-mail option allows you to send the address of the study stack to your friends via e-mail. Print allows you to print out flashcards in several different styles to use offline.

You can also add your own study materials if you can’t find what you need to study. To add your own, scroll down to the bottom of the list for the subject you want to study and then click on the Create Your Own link.

You’ll need to register to add your own material. It's really easy if you have a Facebook account, because you can use that to log in. If you don’t, that's okay too! Just register for Study Stack. To do so, fill out the registration form with a username, e-mail address, password and agree to the terms and conditions. It’s that simple!

Once you’re logged in, you can also create a study stack by clicking on the Create a New Stack link under your Stacks tab. You’ll need to name your stack, type in a description for it and decide whether you want to let other users edit it or whether you want it to auto-generate for the games.

Now, click on the Data tab. That's where you'll be able to insert the data you want to study. Type in the questions, then the answers and make sure you click on the Save Changes button when you’re done updating the data information.

Before you know it, you’ll have your study stack completed and you'll be ready to start using it. Pretty neat, huh?!

Website:-Where's My Cell Phone?

I'm notorious for losing my cell phone around my house and in my car. But with this Web site, I no longer have any trouble finding my cell phone!

All you have to do is put in your cell phone number and click on the Find It button. The service will call your cell phone for free and let it ring so that you can find it. It only takes a few seconds!

You can ring your phone once every five minutes until you find it. They don’t keep any of the numbers they dial, so you don’t have to worry about them using your information.

This is a very handy tool! There's even a gadget you can add to your Google homepage (if you use Google) that allows you to use it right from there.

I’ve bookmarked this site and if you lose your cell phone the way I do, you’ll want to do the same!

Website:-My Live Signature

I’m really excited about sharing this Web site with you! My mom sent it to me after she used it to create a signature she could use for her work e-mails. I recommend starting with the Quick Tour.

The Quick Tour will not only walk you through the whole process, but it will also explain all the different ways you can make your signature. You'll want to get a static signature, because they’re free! (Only the static ones created from the wizard or with the draw tool are free).

To get started making your signature, click on Start Now. You’ll then need to choose whether you want to use the wizard or the draw tool. I recommend using the wizard, because it was a lot more fun to select a font that matches my hand writing than to draw a deformed version of my signature with the mouse.

To use the wizard, click on the Create Signature button underneath the text that says “Create a new signature using our wizard.” That will lead you to a page where you’ll be presented with three options: wizard, draw or upload. You'll want to select the wizard, which is the first option.

After selecting the wizard tool, you’ll be asked to type in the name or nickname you’d like to use for your signature. I put in Amanda @ WorldStart.com, which is how I sign my e-mails. In the next step, you’ll select which font you want to use. There are around 120 different fonts you can choose from and they may take a minute or tow to load. Click on the bullet of the font you want to use and then click on the Next button at the bottom of the page.

The next step is to select the size you want your signature to be. I like mine rather small, so I selected size 2. There are ten different sizes to pick from, so you’ll have plenty of options. Click on the Next button to continue. Here you'll select the color of the font you want to use for your signature. There are ten different colors to choose from. Next, you can set the slope of your signature. There are ten different slopes to choose from as well. You’re finally finished!

Take the code they give you for your signature (signature ID) and copy it. Then paste it on the Start Now page under the Download a Signature heading. The other thing you can do with the signature ID is paste it under the Generate a Code section. That will give you a choice between an HTML code and a BB code. If you want to use it on a forum, choose the BB code. If you want to use it on a Web page, choose the HTML code.

Now, you have a personalized signature all your very own. Yes!

Website:Thanks-O-Meter

I truly believe that kindness triggers more kindness. An excellent example of that happened to me recently. My roommate and I were on our way to an appointment with her doctor. We got in the car and were all set to go when we remembered we left the cookies we made for her dad in the house. So, she tries to back into the drive way, but misses it and hits a snowdrift in our yard. We try to pull back out, but we were stuck! Then one of our neighbors came out of his house to walk his dogs and sees that we're in trouble. He takes his dogs back in the house, grabs his shovel and dashes across the street to help us.

Thanks to his kindness, we were able to get to the doctor’s office on time and we arrived in enough time to help an elderly woman get past the icy walkway. We helped her into the office and she was so grateful that someone would help her, she couldn’t stop smiling. Once she was settled in to wait on the doctor, I noticed she was seated across from a little girl with the flu who just looked miserable. The woman we helped struck up a conversation with her, got her to smile and took her mind off being sick.

With all the bad news in the world these days, it was so refreshing to find this Web site. Thanks-O-Meter celebrates those every day events of kindness, charity and anything that deserves a thank you!

It works by you selecting a thank you, choosing how it made you feel and then sharing your story. For my story, I chose "For Being Great Neighbors" and it made me feel lucky and grateful. Then I selected to share my story. It was hard to keep it within the 500 character limit, but I managed to do it.

Don’t have anything to share right now? Well, that’s no problem! You can enjoy all the stories everyone else has submitted on the site. Just click on the Stories tab at the top of the page. Then select an emotion and it will give you a listing of stories you can read that were tagged with that particular emotion.

A program for ending programs safely and effectively

A program for ending programs safely and effectively

Today I have free download for you all that has saved me a ton of headache. Have you ever read the fine print when you install a program? Almost all of them tell you to close all running programs before continuing with the installation. This seems simple enough until you actually try to do it. Stopping all running programs on a computer is a huge pain in the you know what. Well, that is where end-it-all comes in. This little hand program only serves one purpose; to end programs! Just launch end-it-all and closing all of your programs are just one click away!



This is the menu bar for end-it-all. The single "x" and the skull and cross bones are for closing or killing a single application respectively. The multi "x" and skull and crossbones will close all programs or kill all programs respectively.

"What is the difference between close and kill " you ask?. Closing a program will attempt to close it by asking nicely for it to stop. This works sometimes, but not others. Killing a program will stop a program dead in its tracks. This works all the time, but is a bit more harsh. You should try the close option first.

I think this program is great for what it does. If you want to give it a try, you can download it here. Just go to the page and click the "download set-up only file" link. Its even compatible with Vista!
