Add a New User Account in Windows 7

Posted by Wonderful-Tricks

If you’re a home user who skipped the Windows Vista release and are moving from XP to Windows 7, one thing you might want to do is create new user accounts for other members of the household. Since the interface is laid out quite differently than XP, we will take a look at user accounts in the new OS.

Several aspects of the user interface have changed from XP to Vista and Windows 7. If your computer is shared by the rest of your family, it is nice to be able to give each person their own account. However, you probably don’t want to give the same functionality to each of them. Let’s take a look at how to add a new user account, an overview of each account type, and assigning the type to each user.

Add New User

To add a new user open Control Panel and under User Accounts and Family Safety click on Add or remove user accounts.

Now click on Create a new account.

Just type in the name of the user and select the type of account. Your best bet is to make them a Standard User so they cannot make changes to system settings, delete other users important files, or change security settings.

Now when you reboot the PC you will see the new users you created at the log in screen.

Of course a user who’s account is password protected will need to log in to start their session.

Standard users won’t be able to make any important system changes without the admin password.

As Administrator you can make additional changes to the account like changing or creating user passwords.

Types of User Accounts

There are three types of user accounts and each provides the user with different levels of control over the computer.

* Administrator – The Admin account have complete control over the computer and its settings.

* Standard – Standard users can use most of the capabilities on the machine. They cannot install software, delete system files, or change settings. If you’re working in a Standard account and need to make system changes, the administrator password will be needed.

* Guest – Let’s a user have temporary access to the computer. They cannot install software, make any changes, or create a password. This is a good choice for someone to use to check their email quick or type out a document.

Here is an example of what a user with a Standard account would see if they tried to monkey around with something they shouldn’t be.

The Guest user account it off by default but you just need to go in and turn it on.

The only changes available to the Guest account are changing the picture and turning it on or off.

User Account Tips

If you’re the administrator and installing software, remember to select if you want it available for all users or only yourself.

Keep in mind that if you shut down the machine while another person is logged in, they might lose all any data they have not yet saved. Even though you get a confirmation screen, it might be worth mentioning to other users so they are aware of it, especially in a busy household.

These basic tips should help create and configure user accounts so each member of the household has their own account when working on the computer.

How to clean up your hard drive to increase free space

Posted by Wonderful-Tricks

There are many reasons why you would want to do this, such as:

Running out of space on your hard drive
System is running slow
System Restore points are not being created
Corrupted or infected System Restore points

We will address 6 areas in this tutorial.

Delete system temporary files
Delete TIF (Temporary Internet Files)
Delete old/infected System Restore points
Delete other areas where junk collects over time
Uninstall programs you don't need or use
Remove System Restore points

Areas 1, 2 and 4 can be handled manually but it's much easier and more thorough if you use one of two tools, CCleaner or ATF Cleaner. Both will delete junk files that accumulate in the system temp and temporary internet file areas as well as files from other areas, like Cookies, Browser History, MRU Cache, etc. etc.

CCleaner
This guide addresses the Cleaner and Tool areas of CCleaner. Please do not use the Registry area unless you
Know what you are doing
Have a full backup of the registry using ERUNT

Download and install CCleaner. Before doing anything else, click on Options on the left then click on Advanced and uncheck Only delete files in Windows Temp folders older than 48 hours.

Click on Cleaner on the left and look through the selections under the Windows and Applications tabs. Uncheck the ones you don't want cleaned up. For instance, on my XP SP3 system I uncheck:

Windows tab:

Internet Explorer - Cookies, History, Recently Typed URLs, Last Download Location, Autocomplete Form History.
Windows Explorer - All
System - Memory Dumps <- Very Important

Applications tab:

Firefox/Mozilla - Cookies, Download History, Internet History, Saved Form Information
Opera - Cookies, Internet History
Applications - Office XP

The entries listed under Windows and Applications will vary, depending on what is installed on your system.

Click on Analyze to see what CCleaner will delete. Once you are satisfied with the choices, click Run CCleaner to delete the files and folders listed. If you've not done this before, it can result in a significant increase in hard drive free space.

ATF Cleaner:

Download ATF Cleaner then run it. It does not have to be installed. On the Main window, select (at a minimum):

Windows Temp
All Users Temp
Temporary Internet Files
Java Cache
Recycle Bin

Cookies, Prefetch and History are up to you. I prefer to leave them alone as I depend on Cookies and History for web browsing. I also don't see any point in clearing Prefetch since XP will just rebuild it over time. It won't hurt, just slows things down a little for a short time.

Like CCleaner, ATF-Cleaner will delete files from the areas you check, but unlike CCleaner there is no Analyze button that allows you to see what will be deleted. Once you click the Empty Selected button, the files in the areas you checked will be deleted. Some folks prefer it because of it's simpler interface. Which one you use is a matter of personal preference.

Uninstall unneeded programs:
I'll cover three ways to do this.

Use the built in XP Add or Remove Programs Control Panel applet
Use the Tools section of CCleaner
Download, install and run Revo Uninstaller

XP Add or Remove Programs
There are two ways to get to Add or Remove Programs.

Click on Start then Run, type appwiz.cpl and press Enter or click OK
Click on Start then Control Panel (or Settings then Control Panel if using Classic mode) then double click on Add or Remove Programs.

Review the list of Currently Installed Programs. Once you have decided which ones you want to remove, click on it's name and a Change or Change/Remove button will be displayed. Click on it and follow instructions.

CCleaner Tools
Start CCleaner. Click on Tools on the left side. A list of installed programs will be displayed. As above, once you decide what you want to remove, click on it, only this time, click the Run Uninstaller button and follow instructions. DO NOT use the Delete Entry button unless you know for sure the program has already been deleted and just the entry in the installed programs area of the registry remains.

Revo Uninstaller
Revo can do many other functions besides uninstalling programs, so please be careful when using it. I will address just the Uninstaller function.

Download, install and run Revo Uninstaller. Make sure Uninstaller is selected at the top. As with the previous uninstallers, review what is shown and decide what you want to remove. Right click on each one in turn and select Uninstall then follow instructions.

The primary advantage Revo has over the other methods is that it will also scan the registry and remove any remnants of the program you just uninstalled. For this reason, I strongly urge you to make a full backup of the registry using ERUNT BEFORE using Revo.

Remove System Restore points
There are two ways to do this.

Delete all System Restore points and create a new one (best choice if malware is present)
Delete all but the most recent System Restore point (just free up hard drive space)

To delete all System Restore points, do the following:

Click on Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools and finally System Restore.
Click on System Restore Settings on the lower, left side.
Check Turn off System Restore on all drives, then click Apply and wait for it to complete. This will delete all existing restore points.
Uncheck Turn off System Restore on all drives, then click Apply and wait for it to complete. This will create a new System Restore point.
Close the System Properties window.

To delete all but the most recent System Restore point, do the following:

Open My Computer.
Right click on your XP boot drive and select Properties. Normally this will be C:.
Click on the Disk Cleanup button. The Disk Cleanup window will open. Wait for it to finish then the main Disk Cleanup window will open.
Click on the More Options tab.
Click on the Clean up... button under System Restore.Click Yes when you get the Are you sure you want to delete all but the most recent restore point prompt
Close all windows you opened for this procedure.

Google Docs gets Shared Folders

Posted by Wonderful-Tricks

Google Docs has a new interface and an important new feature: sharing folders. You can now share folders with your contacts and even make some of your folders public. If you allow anyone to view or edit a folder, Google generates a publicly accessible URL for a page that lists all the files from your folder.

"When you share a folder, the new permissions are pushed to all sub-folders and docs within the folder. Normally this happens quickly, but occasionally, it could take a couple of minutes," explains Google.

Avoid emailing the wrong person with Gmail’s ‘Got the wrong Bob?’

Posted by Wonderful-Tricks

One of the greatest sources of embarrassment, or worse, when using email comes when you send a message to the wrong person accidentally. (Hence the proliferation of those annoying “Delete this message if you’re the wrong recipient” email signatures.) Google added a new feature to Gmail today that should help you catch those errors before hitting “send.”

“Got the wrong Bob?” has been added to Labs, the section for experimental features that may get added to standard Gmail. It’s useful during those times where you’re writing an email to a large group of people, when it’s easy to let a mistake slip through. Using the same technology behind Gmail’s “Suggest more recipients” feature, the webmail program tracks which people you normally email as a group (say, a team at work or a set of friends), and will flag the email if you’ve included someone who seems like a mistake. Google has also given “Suggest more recipients” the new name of “Don’t forget Bob?” which is more catchy, and makes it an obvious pair with the new feature.

Now, if you’re only sending the email to one or two people, Gmail can’t help you if you get it wrong.

This is the latest in a number of Gmail Labs features that help users avoid various possible mistakes while using email.
