How To Adjust Browser Cache Settings

The temporary internet files folder, also commonly known as the cache, stores a record of your online activity including items you've seen, heard, and downloaded. These items are put in your cache to make internet browsing faster, since your computer can call up some elements or even entire pages from the cache instead of displaying a completely new web page.

Clearing or Adjusting Browser Cache Settings

Clearing your cache will free up some space on your computer and it's a good idea to clear it from time to time. Go to the start menu, choose "settings," then click on the control panel. In the control panel window click internet options. You can also go to tools in your internet browser and click internet options. Under the general tab, in the temporary internet files section, click the delete files button. This will delete all the files currently in your cache. Click "ok" and click "ok" again.


Tips for Adjusting Browser Cache Settings

You can also adjust the internet settings to automatically clear the cache whenever you close your browser. Go to the Advanced tab in the internet options window. In the settings box, scroll down to the section called Security. Click the check box next to the "Empty Temporary files" Folder when browser is closed option. This option does not clear cookies, but will clear your cache of other files every time you close your internet browser. Click "ok" to finish.

Format a Hard Drive for Windows 7

What You Need to Format a Hard Drive for Windows 7

Let's go over the things you need to get this job done. First of all a computer running Windows 7 in my case it's a laptop, second of all, an external hard drive and of course you're also going to need a cable for connecting these two things.

Find Disk Management

First of all, in the Windows environment, it should show you that the drive is there. However, for what we're doing today we have to enter another realm of the computer. So follow along with me. We're going to go to the start menu, we're going to go over to computer, right click and click on Manage. That's going to bring up a dialog box that says computer management on top. Now what you want to do is click on "Storage" and now "Disk Management." And now the hard drive should appear right there on the list. You're going to select it and right click on it and select format. Once you select format, it's going to give you a few options. It's going to give you an option to name your drive, I'm going to name it Ron because that's my name. You can call it whatever you want.

Which Format to Choose

I always recommend with Windows to use the MTFS option. It's the best kind of disk encoding and it makes sure that these files will be available for you whatever kind of system you're using. Now perform or quick format- this is kind of your choice. It depends on how much you use this drive. A really thorough format is going to clean it off really well. A quick format is going to erase everything and make sure that it's clean enough to put more data on.

I'm going to go with A. not quick format. So I'm going to uncheck that box. Now it's going to give you a next, click that, it's going to ask you if you're sure you want to format, yes. If you want to double check, just click on start, then computer, you should see the hard drive there in the hard drive list. And I have 250 GB of available space that I'm going to put my vacation pictures on.

How to Install a Wireless Keyboard and Mouse

Empty Box of Supplies

First take everything out of the box. You may have a wireless keyboard, wireless mouse, wireless receiver, batteries, software and instructions. If batteries are not included you will have to provide them.

Install Batteries

Since the keyboard and mouse are wireless, they do not get power from the computer which is why they require batteries. Turn the keyboard and mouse over and remove the battery compartment covers. Insert the batteries as the directions show.
Place Keyboard and Mouse on Desktop
Now place the keyboard and mouse on your desk where you'd like them. If you have an existing keyboard and mouse move them out of the way.
 
Set Up Wireless Receiver

The wireless receiver is the part that physically connects to your computer and picks up the wireless signals from your keyboard and mouse which enables them to communicate with your computer. Some setups might have two receivers- one for the keyboard and one for the mouse. Keep the receiver at least 8 inches away from sources of interference like the computer monitor, fans, flourescent lights, or metal filing cabinets. The receiver should also be positioned somewhere between 8 inches and 6 feet from the keyboard and mouse.

Install the Software

Before connecting the receiver, let's install the software. Insert the CD into your CD drive and the software should start automatically installing. Read the on screen instructions.
Plug In Receiver to USB Connector
Now plug the USB connector at the end of the receiver into a free USB port on the back of your computer. After this your computer will configure the hardware your computer might use.

How to Disable Windows Startup Programs

First Step for Disabling Windows Startup Programs

The first thing you're going to have to do is to click on the Start button. You're going to simply type into the search "MSCONFIG". You're going to see MSConfig come up, you're just going to click on that.

Second Step for Disabling Windows Startup Programs

You're going to go into the Startup tab. After you've seen all of the programs that start up when you turn Windows on, you can now uncheck the programs that you don't want to start up. If your computer is running slow, you're probably going to want to uncheck as many of these programs as possible to make your computer run faster. But, when unchecking some of these boxes, you might want to check on Google first to see exactly what the program does. Make sure, before you uncheck anything, you know what it is.

Third Step for Disabling Windows Startup Programs

Once I've unchecked it, I'm going to click "Apply" and now I'm going to click "OK." You're going to need to restart before Windows recognizes the change. So I'm going to click that now. And now my computer is restarting. When it reboots, it will no longer open up with the programs that I just unselected.

How to Install a Second SATA Hard Drive

Supplies for Installing a Second SATA Hard Drive

Some of the tools you're going to need are a PC, your serial ATA plug and a hard drive.

Instructions for Installing a Second SATA Hard Drive

The first thing you want to do is turn off your PC and then unplug it. There are a few different ways to open up your PC. This computer happens to be tool-less so you can just open up the handle and it comes right off. There are a few other ways you can do that. Sometimes there will be small screws on the back of your door which you just have to unscrew.

Newer computers have what's known as serial ATA hard drives which are smaller and faster and any kind of new computer will probably have it. What we're going to do is install a second internal hard drive right above the internal hard drive. There are a few different ways you can also put a hard drive into your computer. This computer system happens to be tool-less so this little green plastic tray actually pulls right out and allows you to put the hard drive right in. But yours will probably have a small Phillips head screw that is screwed directly into your serial ATA hard drive.

So, once we remove the tray from the computer case, there will be four pegs inside of it that go into the serial ATA hard drive. I'm going to put those in right now. Once they're in, slide those back into place.

Once we have our serial ATA drive installed, there are two things we need to do. One, we need to get power to the hard drive and two, we need to get the information on the hard drive to the computer. We need to use a serial ATA cable to plug directly into the back of the hard drive and plug it into the motherboard. On the bottom part of the motherboard, you will see several serial ATA ports. So, I'm going to plug one into my motherboard and plug the other end directly into the back of my internal hard drive.

The next thing we need to do is get power to the hard drive. The components of your computer are powered by your power supply. From your power supply, there should be a cable coming out specifically to power your internal hard drives. There are two different kinds of cables through which your power supply powers internal hard drives. First is an older style cable that it generally used for IDE hard drives. Newer plugs look like this and are designed for serial ATA hard drives. And those will plug directly into the back like that.

Next thing you want to do is get the front cover. Ours is a tool-less case, so we don't need any of the screws but you may, at this point, need to find the screws that you took off on the back of your computer case and screw those back in.

After you're done closing up your computer, just plug it back in, turn it on an Windows will automatically recognize your new serial ATA hard drive.

Upgrade an Intel CPU

Let's begin by taking a step-by-step walk through the process of upgrading an Intel CPU. You should be aware of two general points before we start. First, Intel CPUs have no pins; instead, the pins are in the socket. It's very easy to accidentally bend a pin in the CPU socket when you're installing or re­­moving an Intel processor, so you need to handle the CPU very carefully. Second, we'll be using the Intel reference cooler that ships in­­side Intel CPU retail packages. The sizes of the relevant parts may vary for different socket formats, but the in­­stallation and removal procedures are the same for each.

1. Rotate all four mounting pushpin caps to the left.

Soket LGA775

2. Gently pull one of the pushpins straight up until you feel it release. Use minimal force to accomplish this. Repeat the operation for all four pushpin latches.

3. The CPU is often stuck to the heat sink with thermal compound, which helps transmit accumulated heat from the CPU heat spreader surface to the heat sink. Gently rotate the processor back and forth (you're rocking it around the vertical axis). As you do this, the CPU will gradually loosen. Eventually the heat sink will come free, and you can lift it up.

4. You'll see a latching lever on the side of the CPU. Push down on the lever, pull it slightly to the outside, and release it upward.

Lever On The Side of The CPU

5. The socket cover will now lift up. Note that the socket cover for LGA775 swings in a different direction than it does for other Intel CPU sockets.

Soket LGA775

6. Once the latch cover is open, gently grasp the CPU by the edges. Lift it straight up. Do not slide it to one side. You may have to angle it a bit to get it out from under the latch cover, but try not to do this until the CPU is clear of all the pins in the socket.

7. Place the CPU in an anti­static container for storage.

8. Handling the new CPU only by the edges, align the notches on the two op­­posing edges of the CPU with the tabs on the socket. Gently lower the processor straight down into the socket. Do not press it.

Excel : How to Count Number of Distinct Values in a Range ?

=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(LEN(C3:C25)>0,MATCH(C3:C25,C3:C25,0),""), IF(LEN(C3:C25)>0,MATCH(C3:C25,C3:C25,0),""))>0,1))

and this for numeric values:

=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(C3:C25, C3:C25)>0,1))

This article shows similar formulas, but also shows a method using filters.

Count the number of unique values by using a filter
You can use the Advanced Filter to extract the unique values from a column of data and paste them to a new location. Then you can use the ROWS function to count the number of items in the new range.

1. Ensure that the first row in the column has a column header.
2. On the Data menu, point to Filter, and then click Advanced Filter.
3. In the Advanced Filter dialog box, click Copy to another location.
4. If the range that you are counting is not already selected, delete any information in the List range box and then click the column (or select the range) that contains your data.
5. In the Copy to box, delete any information in the box or click in the box, and then click a blank column where you want to copy the unique values.
6. Select the Unique records only check box, and click OK.
   The unique values from the selected range are copied to the new column.
7. In the blank cell below the last cell in the range, enter the ROWS function. Use the range of unique values that you just copied as the argument. For example, if the range of unique values is B1:B45, then enter:
   =ROWS(B1:B45)

•     Once all your settings are correct, click the "Apply" button at the bottom right corner of the iTunes window to sync again and add photos to your iPad.

Strategy Guide for IOS5 Jailbreaking

Well, it's just been taken up a notch again. Jailbreak developer and member of the Chronic Dev-Team, pod2g, has confirmed that one of the primary exploits they are working with to develop an untethered IOS5 jailbreak for all devices will be patched by Apple when they release 5.0.1 shortly (5.0.1 is already in beta testing with developers).

This means that if you want the best chance of an untethered jailbreak on IOS5 for an iPad1 or iPad2, then you must install 5.0 before Apple stops signing it and you must NOT upgrade to 5.0.1.

Remember, Apple have changed the way the SHSH Blobs work in IOS5, so they provide you absolutely no protection on 5.x. It is not sufficient to save 5.0gm blobs and use those at a later date to install 5.0. That will not work.

iPad2 WiFi Owners JB on 4.3.3
You guys have a harder decision. First you need to find out if you have your SHSH Blobs for 4.3.3 saved using our tutorial here - HOW TO - Save your SHSH Blobs with TinyUmbrella
If you do, then you will always be able to restore to 4.3.3 and get your jailbreak back. Your next decision is can you live without a jailbreak for a while in the anticipation that one is coming down the line? If so, then you should install 5.0 before the signing window closes (follow Step 3 above), but before you make the decision, read on into the next section so you understand my thoughts on the timescale you may be facing.
If it turns out you don't have blobs saved then iFaith is of no use to you since it does not support the iPad2 so you are in the same pickle as iPad2 3G owners, so read on into the next section for your strategy...

iPad2 3G Owners JB on 4.3.3
You guys (and this includes me too!) have the most difficult decision to make. Once we upgrade we can never go back under any circumstances, but you could be stuck on 5.0 for a long time without a jailbreak. Remember there is no ETA for anyone to release a new iPad2 jailbreak and whilst I don't want to be too negative at this stage, Chronic did not deliver last time despite months of apparent effort into the 4.x jailbreak. Giving them the benefit of the doubt and recognising the jailbreak development is a gargantuan task, well beyond anything I could achieve, we could still be looking at weeks or months before a release. Just because they have exploits does not make it a sure thing that the jailbreak will arrive any time soon! Remember, the exploits have been known for many months already.

So, you need to make a decision before the signing window for 5.0 is closed, are you willing to live without a jailbreak for an unknown period of time so that you have the best chance of a 5.x jailbreak when it comes out?
I can't answer this for you and I haven't' made up my mind myself yet

Again, remember, if you make the move to 5.0 (without a jailbreak) and anything goes wrong which requires you to restore, then you will be forced onto 5.0.1 (or above) and will potentially lose out. This of course is all predicated on the assumption that the exploit which is used to jailbreak will be the one which Apple patches in 5.0.1. It's a risk based call, and not an easy one...

All other iPad2 3G Owners (without a jailbreak).
For you guys it's pretty much a no-brainer. Ensure you are on 5.0 before the singing window closes and take care of your device so you are not forced to restore it for any reason.

Beta Testers using 5.0.1b2
If you are a developer and are testing out 5.0.1 in beta, then you can downgrade provided you initiate it before the signing window is closed for 5.0. But if you are a developer you already know this

Unfortunately, the users who use a laptop it is very difficult to do, other than the stuff still under warranty, not everyone can easily understand the hardware, the hardware inside the laptop. But do not be discouraged in advance ... there are a few tips to overcome the blue screen ...

First, make sure the first menu you do not have safe mode crashes (this is if the latest drivers from the hardware that is not also loaded by windows). To be on safe mode, when the initial boot continuous press F5, then select safe mode in the options that appear, at the beginning of the display, you will be asked if you need to activate the menu system restore, select No to turn on system restore.

In addition due to driver error, blue screen can also be caused by a virus / trojan disguised as the services file on the system, including smss.exe, winlogon.exe, services.exe and Isass.exe. To fix this try to track the virus / trojan by antivirus programs portable, run the antivirus program, but this time not from a removable storage such as hard drives or flash.
