			<guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/10479/download-new-themes-in-windows-7/</guid>
						<description>&lt;p&gt;If you want to spice up your desktop easily in Windows 7 a good method is changing the Theme. If you’ve already exhausted the default Themes included in the OS, you might want to download new ones. Here we take a look at easily downloading new Themes from Microsoft’s Personalization Gallery.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To download new Themes right-click on the Desktop and select Personalize.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="1 theme" border="0" alt="1 theme" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/1theme.png" width="346" height="385"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then under My Themes click on &lt;em&gt;Get more themes online&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="2theme" border="0" alt="2theme" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/2theme.png" width="567" height="351"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That takes you to Microsoft’s site where you can select from a variety of New and Featured themes from the Personalization Gallery.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="3themes" border="0" alt="3themes" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/3themes.png" width="640" height="594"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now you can open and apply the theme right away, or save a bunch of them for use later.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="5themes" border="0" alt="5themes" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/5themes.png" width="442" height="307"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here are examples of the Avatar and Gears of War Themes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="4themes" border="0" alt="4themes" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/4themes.png" width="640" height="405"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="6themes" border="0" alt="6themes" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/6themes.png" width="640" height="405"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

			<guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/10466/configure-your-computer-to-backup-to-windows-home-server/</guid>
						<description>&lt;p&gt;One of the cool features of Windows Home Server is being able to set backups of the other computers on your network to the server. Today we take a look at the process of configuring a computer on your network to be backed up automatically to WHS.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Backup to WHS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To backup a computer your network, open the Windows Home Server Console and select Computers &amp;amp; Backup. Right-click the computer to backup and select &lt;em&gt;Configure Backup&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="6back" border="0" alt="6back" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/6back.png" width="523" height="333"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Backup Configuration Wizard kicks off…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="1backup" border="0" alt="1backup" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/1backup.png" width="523" height="409"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wait while the Configuration Wizard collects information…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="7back" border="0" alt="7back" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/7back.png" width="528" height="413"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Choose the disks you want to backup…notice you can also choose external drives if you wish to back them up. Note that the disk needs to be formatted as NTFS, if it’s not then it won’t be displayed in the list.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="2back" border="0" alt="2back" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/2back.png" width="524" height="409"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now choose the folders you want to exclude from the backup. The grayed out locations are automatically excluded but you may want to remove them from the exclude list. If you want to exclude other folders click on the Add button. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="3exc;ide" border="0" alt="3exc;ide" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/3excide.png" width="525" height="410"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now go through and select the folders to exclude from the backup. To reduce the size of your backups, you might exclude large media files and unimportant documents, pictures…etc. Make sure you don’t exclude your most important documents, pictures, and other data.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="4exclude" border="0" alt="4exclude" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/4exclude.png" width="523" height="518"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After you’re done excluding folders from the backup, click Next to continue.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="15back" border="0" alt="15back" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/15back.png" width="528" height="413"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then you’ll have the Congratulations screen showing a summary of the backup size, the time of day backups will occur, and the backup frequency which is daily. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="5back" border="0" alt="5back" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/5back.png" width="528" height="413"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After the backup process completes you’ll be able to see if a computer has been backed up or not in WHS Console.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="17back" border="0" alt="17back" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/17back.png" width="595" height="279"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you want to change the time of day backups occur, click on Settings in WHS Console then Backup. Under &lt;em&gt;Backup Time &lt;/em&gt;you can change the start and end time to what fits your schedule.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="12back" border="0" alt="12back" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/12back.png" width="638" height="458"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To view a backup just right-click on the computer and select &lt;em&gt;View Backups&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="18back" border="0" alt="18back" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/18back.png" width="466" height="314"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It opens the View Backups window where you can verify and manage your computer’s backups.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="19back" border="0" alt="19back" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/19back.png" width="533" height="601"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This will get you started with backups and you’ll have peace of mind knowing that your computer’s data is being backed up to the server. The process is relatively simple and the main thing is to make sure the backups aren’t needlessly large with unnecessary files &lt;em&gt;(such as large multimedia files).&lt;/em&gt; There’s a lot more administration you can do with backups, and we’ll be taking a detailed look at managing them in future posts…so stay tuned. Remember that you can download a free 30 day trial of Windows Home Server, so if you have an extra machine you can dedicate to being a server, you might want to check it out.&lt;/p&gt;

						<description>&lt;p&gt;Are you looking for a quick way to access the files in your Dropbox account while using Chrome? Then join us as we take a look at the Drop Box extension.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Before&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Normally any interaction with your Dropbox account while using Chrome only occurs one way…in a regular tab. But what if you just want to access one of your files quickly without the whole “new tab” hassle?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px;border-top-width: 0px;border-bottom-width: 0px;border-left-width: 0px" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/dropbox01.png" border="0" alt="drop-box-01" width="640" height="508" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Drop Box in Action&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you are not currently signed into your Dropbox account you will need to quickly login.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px;border-top-width: 0px;border-bottom-width: 0px;border-left-width: 0px" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/dropbox06.png" border="0" alt="drop-box-06" width="400" height="483" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The default opening view for the drop-down window is the “Recent Events Tab”…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px;border-top-width: 0px;border-bottom-width: 0px;border-left-width: 0px" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/dropbox07.png" border="0" alt="drop-box-07" width="400" height="483" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Clicking over to the “Files Tab” has you ready to access your files, log back out, or access the “Regular Site”.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px;border-top-width: 0px;border-bottom-width: 0px;border-left-width: 0px" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/dropbox08.png" border="0" alt="drop-box-08" width="400" height="483" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Clicking on the “Regular Site Link” will open your normal Dropbox account window inside the drop-down window.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px;border-top-width: 0px;border-bottom-width: 0px;border-left-width: 0px" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/dropbox09.png" border="0" alt="drop-box-09" width="400" height="483" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is a look at the “Public Folder”. Very similar (in looks and navigation) to having your account open in a tab.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px;border-top-width: 0px;border-bottom-width: 0px;border-left-width: 0px" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/dropbox10.png" border="0" alt="drop-box-10" width="400" height="483" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And a look at the “Photos Folder”. In our tests clicking on the .rtf file prompted a save window but clicking on the link for an image opened it in a new tab. So you can expect either one or the other based on the particular file type that you are accessing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px;border-top-width: 0px;border-bottom-width: 0px;border-left-width: 0px" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/dropbox11.png" border="0" alt="drop-box-11" width="400" height="483" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is the image that we selected in the screenshot above…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px;border-top-width: 0px;border-bottom-width: 0px;border-left-width: 0px" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/dropbox12.png" border="0" alt="drop-box-12" width="640" height="508" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While still in the early stages of development, the Drop Box extension can provide quick access to your Dropbox files when you need them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Links&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

						<description>&lt;p&gt;Do you have a lot of bookmarks and bookmarks folders in your Bookmarks Toolbar and need a way to make them fit better? See how nicely your bookmarks can be condensed with the Smart Bookmarks Bar extension for Firefox.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Before&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is our test browser with an assortment of bookmarks not in folders. As you can see it does not take many to fill the visible area of the “Bookmarks Toolbar” therefore requiring the use of the drop-down menu at the end. Even if you have your bookmarks placed in folders they too can fill your toolbar up very quickly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" border="0" alt="smart-bookmarks-bar-01" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/smartbookmarksbar01.png" width="640" height="508"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;After&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As soon as you have installed the extension and restarted Firefox you will notice an immediate difference. As you can see here all of the bookmarks shown above have been “reduced” to just their favicons. Now your “Bookmarks Toolbar” can have a very clean, colorful, and highly condensed look to it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" border="0" alt="smart-bookmarks-bar-02" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/smartbookmarksbar02.png" width="628" height="194"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hovering your mouse over any of the favicons will make the text associated with the bookmark appear (slider type of motion). This is especially useful if you happen to have two bookmarks that use the same favicon.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" border="0" alt="smart-bookmarks-bar-03" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/smartbookmarksbar03.png" width="628" height="220"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" border="0" alt="smart-bookmarks-bar-05" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/smartbookmarksbar05.png" width="628" height="222"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As always clicking on any of the bookmarks opens those links just like before. This is definitely a great way to get those bookmarks under control and make them easier to use.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" border="0" alt="smart-bookmarks-bar-06" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/smartbookmarksbar06.png" width="640" height="508"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you prefer folders you can also have them condensed as well though they will all have the same favicon. One way to work with this might be to memorize “first folder = blogs, second folder = e-mail, etc.”.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Note: You may also have the names of folders permanently display if desired (see “Options”).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" border="0" alt="smart-bookmarks-bar-07" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/smartbookmarksbar07.png" width="628" height="189"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just like before you can easily access bookmarks contained in the folders.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" border="0" alt="smart-bookmarks-bar-08" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/smartbookmarksbar08.png" width="628" height="297"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Options&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The options for the extension focus on small operational tweaks for your “Bookmarks Toolbar”…select what works best for you. It is advised to deselect “Hide bookmarks names with no favicon” so that you do not “lose sight” of any new bookmarks that lack a favicon. Or if you already have bookmarks without favicons you could place those in an appropriate folder to work around that minor problem.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" border="0" alt="smart-bookmarks-bar-09" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/smartbookmarksbar09.png" width="422" height="379"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you have been looking for a better way to organize and access bookmarks (and folders) on your Bookmarks Toolbar then this is one extension that you should definitely take the time to try.&lt;/p&gt;

						<description>&lt;p&gt;Sometimes you might need to print out data contained in an Excel Spreadsheet, but printing out the entire thing is a waste. Today we show you how to print out only specific areas of the document that you need.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Open the Spreadsheet with the data you need and hold down the Ctrl key while highlighting the area of the document you want to print out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="1print" border="0" alt="1print" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/1print.png" width="640" height="465"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Click the Page Layout tab on the Ribbon, then the Print Area button and&lt;em&gt; Set Print Area&lt;/em&gt;…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="2print" border="0" alt="2print" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/2print.png" width="514" height="196"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While still under Page Layout click on Print Titles…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="3print" border="0" alt="3print" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/3print.png" width="512" height="188"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Page Setup screen opens up and you’ll want to select the Sheet tab. From here type in the Columns and Rows that you want to repeat &lt;em&gt;(if any)&lt;/em&gt; then click on Print Preview. This allows you to include any headers or labels associated with the data.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="9print" border="0" alt="9print" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/9print.png" width="572" height="477"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now you’ll be able to preview the area you’ve selected and can print it out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="8print" border="0" alt="8print" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/8print.png" width="518" height="444"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can also select multiple areas of the spreadsheet. Just select another area and when you click on Print Area select &lt;em&gt;Add to Print Area&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="12print" border="0" alt="12print" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/12print.png" width="512" height="236"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then when you go into Print Preview you can page through the different areas you’ve selected.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="13print" border="0" alt="13print" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/13print.png" width="478" height="340"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Print Areas will stay set until you clear them out. Just click on Print Area then select &lt;em&gt;Clear Print Area&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="11print" border="0" alt="11print" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/11print.png" width="513" height="215"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This also works basically the same in Excel 2010, but when you select Print Preview, Backstage View opens and you can select your printing options from there.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="10print" border="0" alt="10print" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/10print.png" width="645" height="508"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is a great way to save ink and paper if you only need to print out specific areas of a spreadsheet. Being able to include column headings and row labels is also nice so the data you print out makes more sense.&lt;/p&gt;

						<description>&lt;p&gt;If you’re using the new uTorrent 2.0, you might have noticed that it starts automatically when booting into Windows. Even if you disable it in System Configuration. Here we show you how to completely disable it from starting automatically.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Open uTorrent and from the menu bar go to Options \ Preferences and under the General section uncheck the box next to &lt;em&gt;Start uTorrent on system startup,&lt;/em&gt; then click Ok to close out of Preferences. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="1tor" border="0" alt="1tor" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/1tor.png" width="538" height="492"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In Windows 7 or Vista go to Start and enter &lt;em&gt;msconfig&lt;/em&gt; into the Search box. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="2tor" border="0" alt="2tor" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/2tor.png" width="438" height="189"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In XP you need to go to Start \ Run then type in&lt;em&gt; msconfig&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="xprun" border="0" alt="xprun" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/xprun.png" width="371" height="210"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In System Configuration click the Startup tab then uncheck uTorrent and click Ok.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="3tor" border="0" alt="3tor" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/3tor.png" width="599" height="211"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now you won’t have UTorrent starting up automatically every time you restart your Windows machine.&lt;/p&gt;

						<description>&lt;p&gt;It can be quite annoying when you try to install a driver or other software on Windows 7 just to find out it isn’t compatible with the new OS. Today we look at using the Program Compatibility Assistant, and troubleshooting compatibility issues so programs install successfully.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Program Compatibility Assistant&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Program Compatibility is a mode that allows you to run programs that were written for earlier versions of Windows. The Program Compatibility Assistant detects compatibility issues and allows you to reinstall using the recommended settings. For example we got this error trying to install a music interface device driver for home recording.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="2comp" border="0" alt="2comp" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/2comp.png" width="431" height="227"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After we closed out of the error, the Program Compatibility Assistant came up advising that the program didn’t install correctly. To try to install it again select &lt;em&gt;Reinstall using recommended settings&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="3comp" border="0" alt="3comp" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/3comp.png" width="460" height="381"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Compatibility Assistant went through and fixed the issue and we were able to install the driver. The problem was the driver was designed for Vista and the the assistant automatically select the correct compatibility mode for us to install it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="4comp" border="0" alt="4comp" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/4comp.png" width="447" height="561"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sometimes you might get a screen similar to this example where Virtual PC 2007 isn’t compatible with Windows 7 and you can check for solutions online.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="18comp" border="0" alt="18comp" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/18comp.png" width="600" height="308"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After checking for solutions online, we’re shown that there is an update that might solve the issue.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="20comp" border="0" alt="20comp" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/20comp.png" width="640" height="421"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Which points us to the Microsoft site to download Virtual PC 2007 SP1.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="21comp" border="0" alt="21comp" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/21comp.png" width="524" height="255"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Note: Sometimes a program does install correctly and Program Compatibility Assistant thinks it didn’t. There are also times when you cancel an installation half way through and it pops up. If you’re an Admin and tired of seeing it pop up because you know what you’re doing, check out our article on &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/4161/disable-program-compatibility-assistant-in-windows-7-and-vista/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;how to disable program compatibility assistant in Windows 7 and Vista&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="6comp" border="0" alt="6comp" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/6comp.png" width="416" height="319"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Program Compatibility Troubleshooter&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There might be times when Program Compatibility Assistant can’t find a solution, or a program installs fine, but doesn’t work the way it should. In that case you’ll need to troubleshoot the issue. Right-click on the program icon from the Start Menu or in many programs the shortcut icon and select &lt;em&gt;Troubleshoot compatibility&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="7comp" border="0" alt="7comp" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/7comp.png" width="449" height="300"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Windows will detect any issues with the program and you can try to run it with the recommended settings, or go through the troubleshooting wizard. For this part of our example we’ll select &lt;em&gt;Try recommended settings&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="8comp" border="0" alt="8comp" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/8comp.png" width="613" height="474"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This option allows us to test run the program to see if the new compatibility settings fix the issue. Click on &lt;em&gt;Start the program&lt;/em&gt; to begin testing it out. After testing the program and determining if the settings work or not click on Next.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="9comp" border="0" alt="9comp" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/9comp.png" width="613" height="474"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If the program is running correctly you can save the settings and it will continue to run with those settings. If it didn’t work properly, you can try using different settings or report the problem to Microsoft and check for an online solution. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="10comp" border="0" alt="10comp" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/10comp.png" width="613" height="474"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you selected &lt;em&gt;No, try again using different settings&lt;/em&gt; it will bring up the troubleshooter where you can specify the issues you’re having with the program.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="11comp" border="0" alt="11comp" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/11comp.png" width="613" height="474"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Depending what you check in the screen above, you’ll be presented with other options for what is not working correctly. Where in this example it shows different display problems.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="12comp" border="0" alt="12comp" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/12comp.png" width="613" height="474"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;New settings are applied to the program and you can try running it again.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="13comp" border="0" alt="13comp" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/13comp.png" width="613" height="474"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If none of the compatibility settings work for the program, you’re prompted to to send a generated problem report to Microsoft.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="14comp" border="0" alt="14comp" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/14comp.png" width="613" height="474"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Manually Select Compatibility&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of course if you don’t want to deal with the Program Compatibility troubleshooter, you can go in and manually select Compatibility Mode. Right-click the program icon and select Properties.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="16comp" border="0" alt="16comp" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/16comp.png" width="448" height="276"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then click the Compatibility tab then check the box &lt;em&gt;Run this program in compatibility for&lt;/em&gt; and select the version of Windows from the dropdown. Now it will always run the program in Compatibility Mode for the version of Windows you selected.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="17comp" border="0" alt="17comp" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/17comp.png" width="405" height="561"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hopefully running the program in an earlier version of Windows helps solve the problems you’re experiencing. Each program is different so the troubleshooting steps will vary. Most programs written for Vista should work in Windows 7, but not all of them. If you’re having problems with a program not working correctly on Windows 7 and have gone through the Compatibility Mode troubleshooter, your best bet is do search the developers website for a newer version or in their forums.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;

						<description>&lt;p&gt;Are you frustrated with the default tab behavior in Chrome? Then the Modified Tab Ordering extension might be just what you have been looking for.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Before&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Most people usually have a favorite set of webpages that they open when they start their day, but different preferences in how they like for new tabs opened from the original(s) to behave.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px;border-top-width: 0px;border-bottom-width: 0px;border-left-width: 0px" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/modifiedtabordering01.png" border="0" alt="modified-tab-ordering-01" width="640" height="508" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The default behavior in Chrome is for new tabs to open “relative” to the original and therefore be “grouped together” as shown here with these two How-To Geek webpages. But not all people care for that and prefer for new tabs to be opened at the far right end of the “Tab Bar”.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px;border-top-width: 0px;border-bottom-width: 0px;border-left-width: 0px" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/modifiedtabordering02.png" border="0" alt="modified-tab-ordering-02" width="640" height="515" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;After&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once again here is our set of “starter webpages” with the same link being opened in a new tab. This time that new tab is all the way at the end of the “Tab Bar” waiting to be viewed after the “starter webpages” have been sorted through.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px;border-top-width: 0px;border-bottom-width: 0px;border-left-width: 0px" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/modifiedtabordering05.png" border="0" alt="modified-tab-ordering-05" width="640" height="110" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Closing “starter webpages” will produce a very satisfying behavior…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px;border-top-width: 0px;border-bottom-width: 0px;border-left-width: 0px" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/modifiedtabordering06.png" border="0" alt="modified-tab-ordering-06" width="640" height="111" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A perfect precession of tabs in a “left to right” order. Once you have finished with your “starter webpages” you can enjoy viewing all of those new tabs in just the order that you opened them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px;border-top-width: 0px;border-bottom-width: 0px;border-left-width: 0px" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/modifiedtabordering07.png" border="0" alt="modified-tab-ordering-07" width="640" height="105" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This extension should be a perfect fit for you if you are someone who prefers sorting through your “starter webpages” first then viewing newly opened tabs in successive “left to right” order.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Links&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

						<description>&lt;p&gt;If you are using Google Chrome, there are times when you might want to quickly take a screenshot of a page without having to open a third party utility. Today we take a look at the Webpage Screenshot extension for Chrome which will save a screenshot of any webpage in PNG format.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sometimes obtaining a screenshot of a webpage can be a bit of work depending on whether you need only a portion of it or the whole thing. If you do not want to take the time to launch another screenshot utility, this extension works well in a pinch.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px;border-top-width: 0px;border-bottom-width: 0px;border-left-width: 0px" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/webpagescreenshot01.png" border="0" alt="webpage-screenshot-01" width="640" height="526" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Webpage Screenshot in Action&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As soon as you find a webpage that you would like a screenshot of click on the “Toolbar Icon” to open this drop-down window. Notice that there are three types of screenshots that you can take: a Resized Window (specific pixel size), a Visible Area Screenshot, or the Entire Webpage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px;border-top-width: 0px;border-bottom-width: 0px;border-left-width: 0px" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/webpagescreenshot05.png" border="0" alt="webpage-screenshot-05" width="640" height="508" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you choose the “Resize Window Option” this is what you will see. Being able to enter a custom width and height will be great for anyone who loves to finesse their screenshots.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px;border-top-width: 0px;border-bottom-width: 0px;border-left-width: 0px" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/webpagescreenshot06.png" border="0" alt="webpage-screenshot-06" width="640" height="508" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For our example we chose “All Page Screenshot”. The drop-down window will be active and the webpage itself will “auto-scroll” as your screenshot is being created.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px;border-top-width: 0px;border-bottom-width: 0px;border-left-width: 0px" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/webpagescreenshot07.png" border="0" alt="webpage-screenshot-07" width="640" height="508" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When finished you will be presented with a thumbnail of the screenshot, the image size, and a clickable link to view the image itself.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px;border-top-width: 0px;border-bottom-width: 0px;border-left-width: 0px" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/webpagescreenshot08.png" border="0" alt="webpage-screenshot-08" width="640" height="508" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Clicking to view the image will open the image in a new tab. Looking at it the only difference between it and the original will be the “Control Area” at the top and the lack of a website address if you are viewing it at 100%…ours turned out that nicely.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px;border-top-width: 0px;border-bottom-width: 0px;border-left-width: 0px" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/webpagescreenshot09.png" border="0" alt="webpage-screenshot-09" width="640" height="508" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When you have saved the screenshot you can easily open and view it using the  “Download Bar”…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px;border-left: 0px;border-top: 0px;border-right: 0px" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/sshot20100204165043.png" border="0" alt="sshot-2010-02-04-[16-50-43]" width="532" height="207" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you have taken a lot of screenshots you can easily search through them on the  “Downloads Page”.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px;border-left: 0px;border-top: 0px;border-right: 0px" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/GoogleShot.png" border="0" alt="Google Shot" width="634" height="554" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Results&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is our screenshot opened in Paint.NET…definitely looking good.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There was one interesting thing that we noted during our test. The entire length of the webpage was captured but the “visible width area” of the screenshot was affected by the width of the browser window itself (in our case the browser was not maximized). This will not be a problem if you have your browser window maximized though…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px;border-top-width: 0px;border-bottom-width: 0px;border-left-width: 0px" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/webpagescreenshot10.png" border="0" alt="webpage-screenshot-10" width="640" height="526" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is the webpage shown for comparison with the screenshot displayed above…the right side is “cut off” at the same point in both.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px;border-top-width: 0px;border-bottom-width: 0px;border-left-width: 0px" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/webpagescreenshot11.png" border="0" alt="webpage-screenshot-11" width="640" height="508" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
