Make text easier to read:
On some monitors, text can look fuzzy and unreadable. Using Windows Clear Type Tuner application, you can fix this
problem and improve the readability of text. Go to your Windows 7 search bar and type in cttune.exe.Then, follow
through the wizard that pops up. This will improve the readability of your text in a number of different ways, usually by
making it stand out more on your particular screen.
PC Safeguard
I rarely let anyone use my PC because I’m afraid he will mess it up, but it seems Microsoft has been thinking at me and
came with a solution. The PC Safeguard doesn’t let anyone mess your PC settings, because after the user logs off, the
configurations are reset back to normal. Of course it will not restore the configurations changed by you, but only the
ones done by other users you define.
To use PC Safeguard, go to Control Panel -> User Accounts and create a new account, then select “Set Up Pc
Safeguard” and switch it on. Then you can stay relaxed when others use your computer, because you won’t find
anything changed, including configurations, downloaded software, installed programs.
Background Photo Slideshow
If you are like me, lazy and bored, then you will want to change the background from time to time, wasting a lot of time.
Now you don’t have to do this anymore, because you can set up a slideshow.
Right click on the desktop then go to Personalize -> Desktop Background and hold the CTRL key while choosing the
images. Then you can choose the time intervals between images and opt to display them randomly or in a row.
Custom Power Button
There is an option to replace the “Shut Down” button with another action, if you rarely shut down the computer, but you
more often restart it or put it on sleep.
Right click the Start Button, go to Properties and choose the ‘Power Boot Action” to do whatever you want, from the
given options.
How To Make Internet Explorer 8 Load Faster
If you want Internet Explorer 8 to load faster, you need to disable the add-ons that slow it down, so go to Tools ->
Manage Add-ons and check the load time for each one. You can choose for yourself the ones you can live without and
ones that would increase the load speed.
Remove The Sidebar
Windows 7 doesn’t seem to feature the sidebar anymore, but it still exists and runs in the background, being launched
automatically at startup. So if you want to get rid of it, there are two ways.
The easier one is to press the Windows Key, (or click Start), in the search box, type MSCONFIG.EXE, click the Startup
tab and clear the Sidebar box. The hard way is to press the Windows key, type “regedit”, find and delete the registry
