Since May 5, 2009, Windows Seven is available for free download in a Release Candidate version. In other words, no new features will be added by the end of the year or early 2010. For our greatest happiness, this trial version is valid until June 2010 and in French.

Many apps use the tooltip system to warn you of what they are doing — especially from the notification zone (systray). Useful at first, they end up becoming annoying and repetitive. A small intervention in the Registry Editor will allow us to disable them in less than 30 seconds!

Optimise your PC by controlling automatically launched programs with Microsoft Autoruns
Posted on
Autoruns is a real pearl to optimise your computer. In a single window are all programs started at startup, scheduled tasks, drivers, services, boot, sidebar gadgets, IE and a whole lot of other things. Turn off any automatic execution of a program, dll, services or others with a single click. Be careful, beginner users abstain!
Many times, I offer you tips or tutorials that ask for an intervention in the register. However, I have never taken the time to explain how to save your registry in case a false manipulation would cause problems for your PC. Let’s fix this and learn how to simply export your entire registry before making any in-depth changes.

Disable planned defragmentation execution in Windows Vista or 7
Posted on
By default, the operating system is set to perform a defragmentation every Wednesday at 1 o'clock in the morning. However, unless you let your PC turn on night and day, it is of no interest. In addition, if you perform regular defragmentation yourself or use alternative software, then this function is doubly useless. Now let’s see how to turn it off.

Take control of a file/folder via Vista’s context menu
Posted on
Many files or system folders under Vista are not editable. You have to understand that you are not the owner of it for security reasons. Sometimes you need to go beyond these limits. To this end, a lengthy process of taking control is taking place, which is hardly very productive. So I suggest you add a control function in Vista’s context menu, which will help you avoid this tedious work.
This trick is relatively simple to set up and will allow you to earn an average of 100 MB of RAM. It consists of disable Vista’s Aero graphical interface (transparency...) to save RAM. Of course, the latter will reactivate as soon as your favorite game closes.

One of the new features of Windows Media Player 11 is to share its entire multimedia library over a private network. In fact, all network users will be able to read your content from their PC like a streaming server. Also, the system automatically detects when a new user authorises such sharing and you can then allow it or not. Interesting, this new feature is still unknown so follow the guide!

Being one of the new features of Microsoft’s new OS, the indexing engine soon proved to be indispensable as it will simplify your life (fast launch of applications, search for your emails and other documents, etc.). However, it may be interesting not to index certain locations as they are able to undergo frequent changes (desktops, downloads, etc.).
