If you have been using Microsoft Windows Vista for quite some time, you would have noticed that
installing a number of programs/softwares into your computer considerably slows down the response
time of your start menu program folder, sometimes up to one second or more before the programs
listed in a particular start menu folder is displayed. Worst of all, if you are trying to launch a
program from you start menu which is within another start menu prrograms folder. Well, I have found
a way to bypass this very annoying thing in Windows Vista. I have about 98 start menu en...

Welcome to my turoial on how to start multiple programs using one shortcut. You may probably be
wondering how this is possible. Well this tutorial will use a language from MS-DOS called batch. I
am not sure whether it is "language", but I do know that it is a way to program for MS-DOS. Batch is
simply a way to run several MS-DOS commands with just one command. All batch files are run through
Command Prompt, but they can be accessed with shortcuts also. Here are a few requirements for this
tutorial. Requirements Windows XP (I tested this on XP, but it should work on m...

Here is one of the not so known method for free-up the RAM to make the Windows run faster. When
programs run in Windows XP, they frequently use what are called DLLs (Dynamic-Link Libraries). These
contain shared programming instructions and other files like icons, graphics, sounds, etc. that
different applications use in order to run. DLLs are stored in RAM whenever the applications load
them; when you quit a program, XP is supposed to release the DLL from memory. But some DLLs can get
stuck. Here is the method to mend this up. Step 1: You can force Windows XP to re...

Alright, I just found out about this very recently on my quest to get a wireless adapter for my Xbox
360. You can use the wireless connection from your laptop as an internet connection for the 360.
I'm putting this up because I had a lot of trouble with the DNS portion of this and no one has
posted up the way that I found to do it, so here I go. Supplies: Laptop connected to internet Xbox
360 Ethernet Cable (comes with Xbox, can use any other though) 1. First, have your xbox turned on.
Also have your PC on, since this next part is all with the computer. This will...

Check Referrer Using Php To Prevent People Linking To Your Downloads From Other Sites Ever
find that found some people are listing items, images and tuts and linking directly to the download
url (those that are like my photoshop tutorial.php?id=0), which is a .php to count the number of
downloads. To prevent this, you can add a piece of code to the download pages that checks which page
referred them to the download page: if it's my domain, it downloads the file normally, if
it's not, it will redirect to my home page instead. Important : Not all browser...

So, some of you might know about this already but, anyways... The other day I was trying to install
a game but did not have the necessary disk space, so I deleted files that I will not use, and other
files that I do not need... I compressed some files that I might use later in the future... And just
doing that got me back around two to three gigabytes of free hard disk space... But that's not
enough, the game needed 6 gigabytes of free disk space! So what did I do next? I ran CCleaner...
It took a while yes, but soon it free'd another 2 gigabytes... ARRGH&...

I know that there has been many at times, when for some reason or the other, people would want to
disable the ability of Windows XP to boot into safe mode. Even though that this is not a very thing
advisable thing to do, but still, people, due to some reasons best known to them would always want
to do this. The other day, a friend of mine who works in (manages is the right word) a cyber cafe
was heads over toes, trying to figure out to to disable the safe mode boot in Windows XP. His
reason..... customers are hacking into their computers and browsing free of charge by b...

Over the course of the summer I have tried hard to install a shoutbox into a new forum I was
developing. I went to the Invisionalize forums and found several mods for shoutboxes, but none of
them seemed to work. I first tried to install the D-Shoutbox, but upon this first try, I was
unsuccessful. Eventually, after much frustration, and trying other mods, which didn't seem to
stack up to Dean's features, I was determined to make it work. For some, editing your files (to
the newbie that is) can be difficult, with everything looking like a foreign language (basi...

First of all, I'm letting you know that this is nowhere near as good as PHPMyAdmin. It's
just a tutorial on how to view all your databases, tables, and what's in the tables, and be able
to edit the tables. I haven't even put in a way to add databases, tables, or columns (yet).
This was just a test thing I made up to see if I knew what I was doing with PHP and MySql. Feel
free to ask any questions. That's why I'm here. If I don't know the answer, I'll
be glad to look it up or ask someone that knows. I need credits!!! Now...

Hello, before I came to Trap17 I had a series of GLUT programming tutorials at astahost. Since then
I have moved here and wanted to continue the series. As I am told I cannot just repost the

The Registry has to be one of the least understood aspects of the Windows operating system family. A
wrong entry in the Registry can potentially wreak havoc on the system.To understand the Registry is
to get to the heart of controlling and modifying your Windows system. If you know what you are
doing, you can turn your machine into a lean performance machine, customize and personalize its
appearance, and get complete control over nearly every aspect of how Windows XP behaves. It is
always recommended that you take a backup of the Registry before proceeding with an edit,...

I'm hoping this will be the first of a few Linux tutorials I write. I have been asked by a few
people recently about how to get software for Linux. They are used to going down to PC World and
picking up a CD, putting that in the PC and installing. With Linux that is not how new software is
obtained, and this is my attempt to explain how to get new software onto your Linux machine. I use
KDE, so this is based around Adept, but it is fairly similar if you use Synaptic or something else.
OK, open up Adept. There are a variety of ways to do that, but the easiest is to ...
