Windows 7 is now out! Here is what i found to Speed Up Windows 7

Speed up windows 7

Windows 7 is a much faster operating system than Vista, but even then most of us are not satisfied with the speed due to bloat-ware or improper settings. If you love your new Windows 7 OS but wish it was just a little faster, you’re in luck. I’ve just finished setting up Windows 7 for my friends and I think some of you might be interested in some of the tweaks I made to make them quicker. By following the guidelines below, you can speed up the overall performance of your PC with Windows 7.

1. Disable the Windows 7 Sidebar and Gadgets

Disabling the window 7 sidebar is definitely help you to to gain a few seconds during start up time

* Right click on the sidebar and select ” Properties “.
* On the properties windows uncheck the check box showing ” Start sidebar when Windows Starts “
* From now on windows sidebar won’t start when windows 7 start up.

2. Turn off the Unnecessary Windows 7 Visual Effects

* Click Start button , then click Control Panel. In the search box, type Performance Information and Tools, and then, in the list of results, click Performance Information and Tools.
* Click Adjust visual effects.
* Click the Visual Effects tab, choose Adjust For Best Performance, and then click OK.

3. Disable the Windows 7 Aero Theme

Disabling the aero theme alone in Windows 7 will really speed things up.

* Right click any where on your desktop and select Personalize.
* In the Personalization window, choose any of the available Basic and High Contrast Themes . Windows 7 applies the new theme automatically.

4. Choose Maximum Performance Power Plan

Advanced power plan settings allow you to adjust a wide range of hardware power-saving/performance features. You can even change the min/max CPU usage, which can have a huge performance hit when set incorrectly.

* Open Power Options by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Security, and then clicking Power Options.
* On the Select a power plan page, activate the ” High Performance ” plan and that’s it.

5. Speed up Windows 7 File browsing By Disable the Thumbnail Preview Feature

If there are a lot of thumbnails in a Windows Explorer window, then it can slow down your computer while you wait for the thumbnails to load. If this happens, then disabling thumbnails will speed up how fast a Windows Explorer window will open by displaying only icons instead of thumbnails.

* Open Folder Options (Open a Windows Explorer window.Click on the Organize button. Click on Folder and Search Options.)
* Click on the View tab.
* Check Always show icons, never thumbnails, then click on OK.

6. Speed up Windows 7 Task bar Thumbnail Preview

* 1. Click on Start, enter “regedit” into the search field.
* 2. Goto: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse
* 3. Double-click on “Mouse Hover Time” and change the value to 100 or lower. Your thumbnail previews should appear a lot faster now.

7. Disable the Windows 7 Search Indexing Feature

In order to speed up the search process, the Search indexing service scans through the files and folders on the Windows system and records information about them in an index file. But it also consumes some resources of the system, so for the users with a slow computer it is beneficial to turn off search indexing.

* Right Click the “Computer” Icon in the desktop and select “Manage”.
* Click “Services and Applications” in the “Computer Management” window.
* Click on “Services”.
* You can see a lot of services listed there. Look for “Windows Search” in that.
* Right Click on “Windows Search” from the list and choose “Properties”.
* The “Windows Search Properties Window” will open up. From “Start-up type” click on the drop down menu and choose “Disabled”.
* Click “Apply” then “OK” and thats it. The Windows 7 Search Indexing Feature is now disabled.

8. Use Automatic Log on to Speed up Windows 7

If you are the only person with access to your PC and feel you don’t need to secure it with a password then you can use automatic log on to save a few seconds. This will boot right to your desktop without any need to enter a password and wait for loading. Please be aware that anyone could use your computer by doing this, so consider the security aspect first.

* To begin, load the run box by pressing WINDOWS KEY + R, then type “control userpasswords2″ and click OK:
* This will load a list of all the user accounts within Windows. Select the account you wish to use as the automatic log in by clicking on it, and then untick the “users must enter a user-name and password to use this computer” box. Then click apply:
* Another window will then appear which prompts you to enter the password (twice) for the auto log in account. Once you have done this, click OK:
* Next time you start your PC you should now be logged in automatically.

9. Disable the Unnecessary Services to Speed up Windows 7

There are some Windows services that are added by third party application that you may not use, as well as some default Windows services that may not be required. Disabling services requires some deeper knowledge, so only change these entries if you are confident in doing so.

To make changes, load the Service manager by running services.msc from the start menu or run box. Once loaded, you will see a list of all the services present on your computer. To make changes to a specific service, double click the entry (or right click and select properties):
Now you are able to configure the individual service. To choose automatic, disable or manual service start-up, you will need to choose the appropriate option from the drop-down box and then click OK:
Next time you start your PC, the service start-up type will have been changed. Unless you are sure that a service will never be needed, it is recommended that you choose manual start-up. This allows the service to be started on demand.

I hope this helped all the windows 7 users out there…

I was reading and article on Google and noticed there was a great line from Google that went like this.

google dos and donts

Quote from and article on Google SEO:
While SEOs can provide clients with valuable services, some unethical SEOs have given the industry a black eye through their overly aggressive marketing efforts and their attempts to manipulate search engine results in unfair ways. Practices that violate our guidelines may result in a negative adjustment of your site’s presence in Google, or even the removal of your site from our index.

Here are some things to consider:

* Be wary of SEO firms and web consultants or agencies that send you email out of the blue.

Amazingly, we get these spam emails too:

“Dear google.com,
I visited your website and noticed that you are not listed in most of the major search engines and directories…”

Reserve the same skepticism for unsolicited email about search engines as you do for “burn fat at night” diet pills or requests to help transfer funds from deposed dictators.

I have been receiving allot of spam as well, there are a lot of Black-hat SEO company’s out there so beware of who your dealing with.

If you want to Flash on your web site, you will want to read this first. Flash comes with certain advantages and some serious disadvantages. You want to be aware of the pros and cons to using Flash before you build your entire website with flash. Keep reading to learn whether Flash can work for you and your website or not.

If you have spent any time on the Internet, then you have seen flash websites that really stand out and leave you amazed. Text flashes by, flowing shapes dance and move across the screen, and every mouse movement creates a different response from the web page. this is the incredible power of Adobe Flash.

Flash has been around for quite some time now. But the problem is SEO and ease of editing the website, if you want to change something its very difficult and expensive to have a designer make changes
For me, Flash has its place like in small banner ads or some small part of the site you want to stand out.
But remember that search engines have a hard time to “index” the meta data for accurate ranking…so if your thinking of using flash …use it SPARINGLY…

Overall, it is hard to say whether Flash is a good thing for what your wanting from a website, or a bad thing because of editability and “indexing” from search engines. It depends on the individual situation that the owner of a website finds him or herself in. To determine whether Flash is a good fit for a website or not, you must weight the pros and cons and then compare them based on the owners situation and needs.

When Facebook Locks Up

Allot of people ask “What To Do When facebook locks up”?

I have had this problem with facebook, friendster, and other flash intense websites and this is what i found to FIX the lockup problem, its quite simple.

To Fix this problem with facebook and friendster,

Update your display drivers and your video drivers.

This fixed the problem on 6 different computers i have tried this on.

There are three steps to updating your video card drivers:

STEP ONE – What Brand Video card do you have?
Presuming you have Windows XP, and Vista (windows 7 is different) the quickest way is to right click your windows desktop (wallpaper) and select ‘properties’ from the drop down menu that appears. A window like this will open:

This is the ‘Display control panel’ for Windows. You will want to select the ‘settings’ tab at the top right of this window…

Now click the button marked ‘advanced’ at the bottom right…

Click “OK” (above) may have a different number of tabs on your PC, click the ‘adapter’ tab

Here at the top where it says ‘adapter type’, is your video card. Make a note of this.

STEP TWO – Downloading the drivers
Now I know I have a card made by ‘nvidia’ I need to find their web site. You may have a different make of card so you might need a different site, but its easy to Google for it. here are some of the common ones:
NVIDIA WEBSITE
ATI WEBSITE
INTEL WEBSITE

You will need to select the right drivers for your card. Normally, the same drivers update almost any card that a particular manufacturer has made. You’ll need to download the drivers to your PC, they could be fairly big, so it might take a few minutes, even on broadband.

STEP THREE – Installing the drivers
Just double-click the file you downloaded, and follow the instructions. They will probably get you to restart your PC once they have been installed.

Once you reboot, you might have to adjust your screen settings again (often they default back to a really nasty low resolution.)
You now have updated your video card drivers! If you were experiencing facebook lock-up’s, or video card related bugs, they may now be fixed!

Please leave your comments below and let me know if this works for you on Lockups on Facebook or Friendster.

web3.0 web design

We are entering a new age of technology, where Web 3.0 Design will become a New Generation of Web Design.

Internet experts agree, the next generation of the Web is the introduction of Web 3.0 web design. This “INTERACTIVE WEB 3.0″ will make life alot easyer, like your search for movies, Celeb Gossip and food faster and easier to find.

Instead of multiple searches, you might type a complex sentence or two in your Web 3.0 browser, and the Web will do the rest. For example, you could type “I want to see a horror movie and then eat at a good Italian restaurant. What are my options?”  The Web 3.0 browser will analyze your response, search the Internet for all possible answers, and then organize the results for you.
­
That’s not all. Experts believe that the new Web 3.0 web sites will act like a personal assistant. As you search the Web, the browser learns what you are interested in. The more you use the Web, the more your browser learns about you and your search preferences the less specific you’ll need to be with your search questions. Eventually we might be able to ask our browser questions like “where should I go for lunch?” Your browser would consult its records of what you like and dislike, take into account your current location and then suggest a list of restaurants customized by mutable searches.

The new age of the internet is amung us. Keeping up with the latest trends of web design is what a great web 3.0 design company is all about.

Please leave your comments on web 3.0 technology below in the comments box…we would love to hear from you..
