Granted, with the new Windows 7 taskbar, you don’t need as much space as you used to. But if Live Mail is something you leave running for an extended period of time then it makes real sense to get it off of the Taskbar when not in use. In Windows Vista, there was a context menu option to minimize Live Mail to the system tray, but in Windows 7 I guess Microsoft just forgot about it....

Why a refresh is valuable Inevitably your Windows system will slow down compared to when you first got it fresh out of the box. Daily use, installing and uninstalling programs, over time, leaves remnants of those programs and files in temp directories and the Registry — which causes your PC to slow down. Or, sometimes your system can become so infected, corrupted and unstable a fresh installation is necessary. The best solution to this type of slow down in previous versions of Windows is to do a clean install of the OS....

There’s just something about visiting somewhere I haven’t been before and feeling the need to capture those feelings. There’s also the idea of sharing those images online just a little bit later, to make your friends jealous.

Luckily, a freeware application called Yammm built by Mikinho lets you easily automate the process....

John’s Plugin Absolute Privacy takes a normal WordPress Blog and turns it into a Password Protected Invite only Blog/Website....
