  • How to Turn System Protection On or Off in Windows 7

    Information
    System Restore regularly tracks changes to your computer’s system files, and uses a feature called System Protection to create restore points of selected hard disks in your computer. System Protection is turned on by default for the Windows 7 hard disk or partition on your computer.
    This will show you how to turn System Protection On or Off for creating System Restore Points for system settings and previous versions of files in Windows 7. By default, System Protection is turned on for the hard disk or partition that Windows 7 is installed on. You could also use previous versions to restore older copies of files and folders.
    You can select which disks have System Protection turned on for.
    This article may or may not be applicable to Windows XP.
    Note
    It is not recommended to turn off system protection for your C: system drive (Windows 7) since it is a great tool to easily undo a mistake, for example one that may have crippled Windows 7, by just doing a system restore to go back to a previous restore point of your system dated before the mistake.
    Warning
    System Restore doesn’t protect FAT32 and other FAT disks because FAT disks don’t support the use of shadow copies. Shadow copies contain information about changes to documents and system files. Shadow copies require the NTFS file system. Windows 7 uses the NTFS file system.
    Turning off System Protection for a disk deletes all restore points for that disk. You cannot restore the disk until you turn on System Protection again and a restore point is created for that disk.
    Here’s How:
    1. Open the Control Panel (All Items View).
    A) Click on the System icon.
    B) Go to step 3.
    OR
    2. Open the Start Menu.
    A) Right click on the Computer button and click on Properties.
    3. Click on the System Protection link. (See screenshot below step 4)
    4. Close the System window. (See screenshot below)
    5. Click on the available hard disk drive or partition, that you want to turn System Protection on or off for, to select it. (See screenshot below step 6)
    NOTE:
    Windows 7 should be the C: drive with (System). Under the Protection column, you will see if System Protection is turned On or Off for the available disk.
    6. Click on the Configure button. (See screenshot below)
    7. To Turn On System Protection for System Settings and Previous Versions of Files
    A) Restore system settings and previous versions of files. (See screenshot below step 10)
    B) Go to step 10.
    8. To Turn On System Protection for Only Previous Versions of Files
    A) Only restore previous versions of files. (See screenshot below step 10)
    B) Go to step 10.
    9. To Turn Off System Protection for the Selected Disk
    A) Turn off system protection. (See screenshot below step 10)
    10. Click on OK. (See screenshot below)
    11. Repeat steps 5 to 10 if you want to turn on System Protection for another available listed disk drive.
    12. Click on OK. (See screenshot below step 6)

  • How to speed up Farm Ville in windows 7- Series 2

    Welcome back, as promised here is the second part of the optimization tricks
    For people who missed out on the first chapter of this series, here’s the link:
    Chapter 1
    There are a few browser optimization tips that can be helpful:

    Web browser & acceleration
    Choosing a web browser
    Firefox is probably the best browser for this tutorial, its very easy to use, so please consider changing your browser to Firefox, if you dislike the look of the browser remember there are thousands of custom theme’s which are easy to download, install and free and if you really want it to look like IE7 then you can download IE7 Aero theme.
    Browsers support
    This part works on the Firefox, Flock and Google Chrome web browsers. 
    We highly recommend the Firefox web browser especially since you may continue to add the Add-ons tutorials one post below for further enhancement.
    Firefox
    The Firefox web browser is the second largest and most used browser to date. It’s very safe, and is recognized by most as the safest, quickest and overall best. Google supports the Mozilla Firefox open source project and we recommend it.
    Google Chrome
    Google Chrome is again using some Firefox technology; it’s a comparatively new browser and yes it support’s this pipelining section. There are some people who like this browser a lot.
    Acceleration (pipelining)
    This tutorial will teach you how to manually configure the Firefox/Flock/Chrome settings to make it load website or Farm Ville content quicker, don’t panic it’s very easy, mainly copy and paste process and takes about 2 minutes of your time. It’s worth reading so don’t skip this step it’s important! For those curious as to “what is pipelining” then please search Pipeline explanation or HTTP Pipeline explanation in google to find out more, basically it’s telling your X application to prioritize and run things in the way you configure it.
    Pipelining Tutorial Part 1 – Easy (Safest & most tested)
    1. Open Firefox, and type about:config in the address bar. You will get a warning prompt before accessing the options, ignore it and follow this tutorial correctly.
    2. Use the filter below the address bar to find network.http.pipeliningand set it to True by double clicking on it.
    3. Move the mouse cursor onto the empty space on the list then right click to access options and create a new boolean value namednetwork.http.pipelining.firstrequest and set that to True, as well.
    4. Find network.http.pipelining.maxrequests, double click on it, and change its value to 8.
    5. Now look for network.http.proxy.pipelining and again set it to True.
    6. Move the mouse cursor onto the empty space on the list then right click to access options and create two new integers namednglayout.initialpaint.delay and content.notify.interval, set them both to 0.
    7. Close the Firefox browser then open it again (restart) and notice that all of your website’s and Farm Ville load significantly quicker!
    Pipelining Tutorial Part 02 – Moderate (Safe & well testing)
    1. Open Firefox, and type about:config in the address bar. You will get a warning prompt before accessing the options, ignore it and follow this tutorial correctly.
    2. Use the filter below the address bar to find network.http.pipeliningand set it to True by double clicking on it.
    3. Move the mouse cursor onto the empty space on the list then right click to access options and create a new boolean value namednetwork.http.pipelining.firstrequest and set that to True, as well.
    4. Find network.http.pipelining.maxrequests, double click on it, and change its value to 8.
    5. Now look for network.http.proxy.pipelining and again set it to True.
    6. Move the mouse cursor onto the empty space on the list then right click to access options and create two new integers namednglayout.initialpaint.delay set it to 0 then create acontent.notify.interval and set it to 500000.
    7. Move the mouse cursor onto the empty space on the list then right click to access options and create a new boolean value namedcontent.interrupt.parsing then select false.
    8. Move the mouse cursor onto the empty space on the list then right click to access options and create a new boolean value namedcontent.notify.ontimer and set it’s value to true.
    9. Move the mouse cursor onto the empty space on the list then right click to access options and create a new integers value namedcontent.switch.threshold then set it to 250000.
    10. Move the mouse cursor onto the empty space on the list then right click to access options and create a new integers value namedbrowser.cache.memory.capacity self explanatory, type in 65536 or adjust to your desired amount.
    11. Close the Firefox browser then open it again (restart) and notice that all of your website’s and Farm Ville load significantly quicker!
    Use TraceMonkey in Firefox
    More and more developers and established web sites are moving their services online and using JavaScript to create interactive web pages these days. So when you’re browsing Flickr, MySpace, Face book, or anything made by Google, as a few examples, the speed at which your browser runs all the developers’ code can matter a lot. For more responsive pages, it’s hard to beat the mind-blowing speed of Trace Monkey, the new JavaScript engine for Firefox 3.1. Mozilla offers nightly builds of Trace Monkey enabled Firefox (called “Minefield” when you run it), but Windows users can also test drive firefox without harming their existing Firefox. Of course, depending on who you ask (and which test you run), Google Chrome’s V8 and the brand-new script engine in WebKit, the foundation of Safari, are potentially faster. In any case, your current browser probably isn’t this fast, so taking these speed demons for a test drive can’t hurt.
    Optimizing Internet Explorer Browser
    a. First Check the version of your browser by following these easy steps:
    Click Help, Click About Internet Explorer this will show you the version information of your IE
    If you are using IE7 or IE8
    a. Close IE
    b. Click on Start
    c. Click on Control Panel
    d. Open Network and Internet Connections
    e. Open Internet Options
    NOTE:
    If Network and Internet Connections is separated just try to look for Internet Options
    f. At Internet Options, Click on Advanced on the upper right, Click on Reset at the bottom portion, Click on Close and then Click on Apply and OK
    If you are using version 6
    Click on Tools on the toolbar, Click on Internet Options, Under General Tab Delete Files, Delete Cookies
    Then Go to Security Tab, Click on Default Level, Then Go to Privacy, Click on Default, Then Go to Programs Tab, Click on Reset Web Settings,  Then Go to Advanced Click on Restore Defaults and Click on Apply and OK
    Next Tweak
    Click Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet Connections.
    Select “Internet Options.”
    Under Check for newer versions of stored pages, click “Automatically.” Under browsing history, click “Settings.”
    If you’re using dial-up, set the number under Disk Space to Use to between 250 and 1024 MB. If you’re using a DSL or cable connection, set it between 50 and 75 MB. Click “OK.”
    Reduce the size of your webpage history
    Internet Explorer stores visited webpages to your computer, organizing them within a page history by day. Although it’s useful to keep a couple days of web history within your computer, there’s no need to store more than a week’s worth. Any more than that and you’re collecting webpages that will slow down your computer’s performance.
    To reduce your webpage history:
    1.   In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
    In the General tab, under Browsing history, click Settings.
    2.   Under History, find the Days to keep pages in history: box. In the box, type 1. Click OK.
    Reduce the number of days to keep pages in history.
    Days to keep pages in browser history.
    Don’t save encrypted webpages
    Encrypted webpages ask for usernames and passwords. These pages scramble information to prevent the reading of this sensitive information. You can define Internet Explorer to not save these types of pages. You’ll free up space by saving fewer files to your computer, in addition to keeping secure information off of your computer.
    To not save encrypted webpages:
    1. In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
    2. In the Internet Options dialog box, click the Advanced tab.
    3. In the Settings section, scroll down to the Security section. Select the Do not 
     save encrypted pages to disk option, check box, as shown here. Click OK.
    Then select Do not save encrypted pages check box.
    We will continue with the Third and final chapter of this series soon.

  • How to Enable or Disable Windows 7 Password History Enforcement

    Information
    Password history determines the number of unique new passwords that have to be associated with and used by a user before an old password can be reused again. This enables administrators to enhance security by ensuring that old passwords are not reused continually.
    By default, there is 24 remembered on domains, and 0 remembered on stand-alone computers. This will show you how to enable or disable enforcing password history, and set how many passwords will be remembered before users can reuse a password.
    These procedures can also be applied on Windows Vista and Windows XP.

    Tip
    To maintain the effectiveness of the password history, do not allow passwords to be changed immediately after they were just changed by also enabling the minimum password age and setting it to be more than 0 days.
    Warning
    You can only do this while logged in as an administrator.
     
    EXAMPLE:
    Password History Message
    NOTE:
    This is a message a user will get when they try to change their password to a reused older password instead of a new unique password before the number of remember passwords has been reached.
    OPTION ONE
    Through Local Security Policy Manager
    NOTE:
    This option is only available for the Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise editions.
    1. Open the Local Security Policy editor.

    4. To Disable Password History for All Users –
    A) Enter 0, and click on OK. (see screenshot below)
    B) Go to step 6.
    5. To Enforce Password History for All Users –
    A) Enter how many passwords between 0 and 24 that you want remembered before users can reuse a password, then click on OK. (see screenshot above)
    6. Close the Local Security Policy editor.
    OPTION TWO
    Through a Elevated Command Prompt
    NOTE:
    This option is available for all Windows 7 editions.
    1. Open a elevated command prompt.
    2. To See the Current “Password History” Setting –
    A) In the elevated command prompt, type net accounts and press Enter. (see screenshot below)
    3. To Disable Password History for All Users –
    A) In the elevated command prompt, type the command below and press Enter. (see screenshot below)
    Code:
    net accounts /uniquepw:0
    B) Go to step 5.
    4. To Enable or Change the Password History for All Users –
    A) In the elevated command prompt, type the command below and press Enter. (see screenshot below)
    NOTE:
    Substitute (1-24) for how many passwords you want remembered before users can reuse a password.
    Code:
    net accounts /uniquepw:(1-24)
    FOR EXAMPLE: 
    I would type in this command exactly for 5 remembered passwords, and press enter.
    Code:
    net accounts /uniquepw:5
    5. Close the elevated command prompt.
    These procedures can also be applied on Windows Vista and Windows XP.

  • How to speed up Farm Ville in windows 7- Series 1

    Have you ever felt that your Farm Ville game runs slow? If the answer to this question is yes, then this article is for you.
    The heart of the problem lies with two resources  your Farm Ville animals and the fact that they are script programs that run through java script and your computer.
    The bottom of the story is that the java script enables your Farm Ville animals to be animated and move. Unfortunately when you have numerous animals the java script applications bog-down your browser and slow down the speed at which the applications on the web-page or website will function, and that is why the Farm Ville game goes so slow.
    We are going to provide a series of articles/posts on Speeding up Farmville. This is the 1st one of the series.

    In this article we will only talk about the first part of the story that being the animals and the decorations on Farm ville itself.

    We have done an exhaustive search for programs that disable scripting, but for whatever reason they do not work on Farm Ville, so the best tip to speed up Farm Ville is as follows:
    Making changes in Farm ville itself
    A.  Farm Ville Buildings
    Our objective is to get rid of your animals to eliminate the scripting from bogging down your browser. There are only two options available to do this and the first option offers very limited help because it only applies to your cows and chickens.
    Farm Ville allows you to store cows and chickens in buildings; Dairy Farms and Chicken Coop’s, respectively. However, although at the current time you can buy unlimited Dairy Farms to store cows in, unfortunately you can only obtain 1 chicken coop that has a capacity of 20 chickens.
    If you haven’t done so already, go to the Market and choose the “Building” tab. There you will see the various buildings that you can purchase; either with Farm Ville dollars or coins.
    Purchase a chicken coop and store up to 20 of your chickens, and then SELL the rest of your chickens.
    Purchase as many Dairy Farms as needed to store all your cows in. Fortunately because you can obtain unlimited Dairy Farms you will not have to SELL any cows.
    As for the rest of your animals, sell them if possible! This will eliminate all of the scripting from bogging-down your Farm Ville game play speed and you will be able to plant, plow and harvest with great speed.
    B.  Sell Farm Ville Animals
    The other alternative is to SELL ALL OF YOUR ANIMALS. To sell your animals simply left click on the animal and choose “Sell”. Another screen will open and choose “yes” to sell the animal. Yes we know that selling all of your other animals is not a very good option, but you either play the game faster or deal with playing Farm Ville bogged-down?
    Gaining higher levels in Farm Ville is mainly done through harvesting crops so the most crucial thing to keep in mind is that once you advance in levels in your Farm Ville game by plowing, planting and harvesting many, many crops, you can always get more animals from your Farm Ville neighbors.
    Sacrificing your animals to speed up Farm Ville to attain higher levels is a worthwhile choice that everyone will quickly learn.
    C.  Trap your Farm Ville farmer
     

    There is nothing more annoying than waiting for your farmer to walk all around your farm to plant and harvest. Trap your farmer using hay bales or fence and you will be able to play Farm Ville a lot quicker. That is one java script less. 
    The next part of the article will describe about the second factor of the story, that happens to be your Computer.
