There are many flaws in using Windows? Don't worry, here I will show you how to print a list of folders, manage notification area balloons, annoying icon wizards and copy files that cannot be copied. In addition, I will expose the scams that are flustered on the Internet to improve system performance. Disabling Custom Notifications Question: How do I disable notification messages that appear from time to time in the taskbar? Solution: Leave this question to Microsoft, which always makes the problem unnoticeable. Right click on the taskbar and select Properties. Is the hidden icon option passive? Clear the checkbox and click Apply. If you have ever emptied the system tray, then download the Taskbar Repair Tool: a very good free software (professional version is $5), it can set 12 options (36 extensions) in the taskbar to solve the quick start Bar and system tray issues. Desktop Wizard and Notification Area Balloons Question: I bought a laptop with a VISTA system. The system always asks me if I want to remove the desktop chart and notify the area that the balloon is still crazy. Is there a solution to this situation? Solution: I agree - how annoying the Windows Cleanup Desktop Wizard was. (I really like those icons that have never been used and are old!) In XP, you can disable the wizard with Kelly Theriot's VB program. This is safe and you can ignore any security warnings. This process is much simpler under Vista: right click on the desktop, select Properties, in the Display Properties dialog box, click the Desktop tab, then click Customize Desktop, under "Desktop Cleanup", if you don't want to " The Clean Up Desktop Wizard starts automatically every 60 days, click to clear the Run Desktop Cleanup Wizard every 60 days check box. In XP, you can use Doug Knox's VB script to disable the notification area balloon, but in Vista, this is a killer, so you must read the instructions on gHacks for this feature. Print folder list Problem: A friend wants a printed My MP3 song list. It took me a long time to solve it. Solution: There are two ways to solve this problem; easy and difficult. I am lazy (this is genetic), so I use Karen's Directory Printer. The role of the freeware is to generate folders and subfolders in every possible way, including (or not including) file size, creation time and attributes. Another method is for people like you who don't like to use extra software. Microsoft will show you how to print file directories under XP and Vista. It should be noted that it includes batch files, registry and so on. 600)makesmallpic(this,600,1800);' src="/upload_files/article/18/201002/1_oqzrc__200806108191213080291778.jpg" width="580" height="431" /> Be careful to speed up the scam on the web not all you see Everything is true, I have found one: the quality service data package (QoS) planner set the mold - allegedly can increase the XP Pro and Vista system 20% bandwidth. I hope so too, I have tried it with my friends. But this is not the case. We did not see it, nor did we notice that the system performance was changed. Unfortunately, this is just a suggestion - Microsoft experts say the trick is forged and I agree. In any case, if you use Wi-Fi, adjusting the router quality service settings can help with some applications. I looked at Becky Waring's article "Optimizing Wi-Fi for VoIP, Video, and Games." I also read Preston Gralla's "Internet Acceleration" and Michael S. Lasky's "5 Fast Solutions for Networking." Copying hard-to-handle files with HoboCopy I have seen a very good Flash streaming video on the website and want to continue watching it offline. I found the file in a temporary folder and tried to copy it to another folder. Unlucky is the error message "File is in use". The copy job could not be done; when I watched the video, I closed the browser and the file was automatically deleted. But now I have the HoboCopy software, which has a hard-to-understand and useful feature that uses the volume mapping service to copy the files (or folders) that are being used. Once you have mastered this command line tool, you can easily solve the problem. For help, read How-To Geek.
