Make Vista runs Faster There are many ways to make your Windows runs faster. By adding more memory, running regular disk cleanup, disk defragmenter, having less start up programs, etc. and other usual Windows tweaks. But specifically with Vista, if you’re a power user who usually has multiple programs opened throughout your working day, try turning off the side bar. This is a cool gadgets is of little use for most of us. Next, switch off all animation and the Aero feature. This really cool Vista appearance is taxing your computer’s performance and does little to enhance your productivity. One quick way to do this is by holding down the Start key then hit Pause. The Control Panel/System windows should pop up. Click on the Advanced system setting on the left bar. In the Performance box, click on the Settings button. Here you can change a few things on the Vista’s Visual Effect. If you want the quick’n easy way, just select Adjust for best performance. Click OK and follow the rest of the on-screen instructions. If you are dependent on battery run notebook computer, you should notice some improvement on your battery life. |

Have you ever wondered why Web pages do not display web counters like they use to? Well often I have and about a month ago I discovered why. I discovered "Google analytics" more What does Google analytics do? I’ll tell you what I know. When you set up a web page or blog, you can, by adding a few line of code from Google analytics, get a whole array of data. Joining Google analytics is free, however it is only useful if you have your own website, business or personal , like a blog for instance, that you want to track who is coming and going. The information you can get from Google analytics is: 1. How many people visited your website. 2. Which continent and city they are from in visual form 3. Which pages they viewed on your website and how many times those pages were viewed. 4. How long they stayed on your website. 5. How they got to your website, eg, search engine, direct traffic. 6. What the exact keywords they typed in to get to your website, if they used a search engine. 7. and heaps of other details I am still finding about. So, if you haven’t heard about it like me and you want to know who is seeing your blog, web page etc give Google analytics a go. and please visit my blog here (and I’ll know if you visited or not) Abdul |
