But in such cases you could opt for a replacement if the manufacturer permits so. Before opting for a replacement, make sure you have checked the manufacturers warranty claims because most manufacturers don’t bother giving a replacement for a single dead pixel.

UltraRDC: Manage Multiple Remote Desktop Connections

Umar — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 03:45:37 +0000

If you are a professional computer troubleshooter or networking expert, then there is a good chance you manage multiple remote connections to or via your computer. Remote Desktop Sharing within Windows leaves a lot to be desired particularly when it comes to more than one remote network. On the web there are tools available that help you manage more than one remote desktop connections; however their list of features is perhaps a little too rich and in their complexity, they become less user friendly.

A competent alternative to all such programs is UltraRDC.

The developer of this program faced a similar situation like yours. He even mentions it in the program’s introduction:
“If you’re like me, you spend a lot of your day with a multitude of terminal services windows open to the machines that you’re setting up, fixing, etc. There are a few apps out there geared towards managing these windows and connections but, at least to me, they tried to do too much. I really needed something to just display my windows in a tabbed interface and, other than that, stay out of my way.”

With that aim in mind, the developer took the help of Weifen Luo’s excellent DockPanel Suite and was able to apply a Visual Studio look and feel to his program, with tabs for each terminal services window and an auto-hiding pane for favorites and history.

The entire program is designed to be user friendly and makes it easier to add new remote connections and connect to them through simple mouse clicks.

Windows 7 features including support for tabbed thumbnails, Aero peek, and jump lists are also supported by UltraRDC.
UltraRDC is a 1.6 MB setup file to download, is compatible with Windows operating systems, and can be gotten from HERE.

How to Easily Disable Unwanted Programs Running In Windows Startup

Umar — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 09:06:54 +0000

The reason of your computer having a slow startup speed is most probably the number of applications unnecessarily starting up when you turn on your computer. Many applications needlessly add themselves to your startup process; consequently you experience startup speeds slower than you would prefer.

Typing “msconfig” in your Run window will open a window that has a tab titled Startup (you can access run by pressing Window Logo key + R). Under this tab you can see most of the programs that initiate with your computer’s startup.

However if you are looking for a better application that shows you all startups processes and gives you control over them, then you need to look into WhatInStartup.

Another handy freeware utility by NirSoft, WhatInStartup provides you with a comprehensive list of startup applications. Sized at less than 50 KB and requiring no installation, you can easily download the setup archive and run the executable within.

When you open the program, just the columns titles and their number will indicate how fully each startup application is investigated by WhatInStartup.

These columns can help determine whether a process is system or user related. If it is user related, you can safely disable it from running at startup. You can disable the process permanently so that even if it gets auto-enabled, WhatInStartup will disable it again.

WhatInStartup is compatible with almost all Windows versions and is a utility which all Windows users will appreciate.
