Cool What kind of forum is this anyway? - 02-13-2008, 12:57 AM

Thank you to you all

But I must admit that I'm pretty surprised not one single forum member has begged me to PM the Katie Price/Peter André home made pr0n movie link I guess everyone thought I was just kidding It is quality stuff nevertheless...

Too bad not all forum members will benefit from both these tips but many will, so here we go:



1. This is a GREAT tip if you have a PC with Windows installed and you have a few (or several) folders containing either many or large files (or both):

On my PC I have a root folder called "Music" and a sub folder for each of the letters from "A" to "Z" (plus one for "The"). All artists starting with the letter "A" I have placed in the (you guessed it ) "A" folder and so on.

Almost all of these sub folders are HUGE. My "M" folder contains almost 4,000 files (all chart hits, mind you - no fillers ).

Opening such a massive folder could take 5-10 seconds, which as you guys know is irritating beyond belief.


Then I stumbled upon this neat trick on the Internet:


Double (left) click on My Computer.

Left click on Tools.

Left click Folder Options.

Left click the View tab.

Uncheck Automatically Search For Network Printers.

Left click Apply.

Left click OK.

Done
.


Note: If you have a use for the Automatically Search For Network Printers function, then you can always recheck the box again.



2. This is a GREAT tip if you have the Firefox browser installed:

I have 4 Gb of RAM installed on my PC but even if I have such a fair amount of memory, I experienced that Firefox would just stall, if I had more than 12-14 tabs open at once.

I had noticed in the lower left corner of my PC (on the system bar) that each tab was sending information to Google Analytics. I then used (you guessed it ) Google to search for a solution - and I found it almost immediately:

A Firefox Extension called CustomizeGoogle: CustomizeGoogle: Improve Your Google Experience -- Firefox Extension



Install that extension and restart Firefox.

Left click on Tools.

Select Extensions.

Left click Options.

Select Privacy and check the two boxes.

Left click OK.

Restart Firefox.

Done
.


Note: You can even choose to remove Google ads etc. using this extension

Now I can have 30-40 tabs open without slowing down my browser or my computer one single bit



Enjoy
Solaris

I almost missed this - here in the haunted wing of the site.

Congratulations! Cyberworld is all the better for your participation and generosity. It is typical that your 5,000th post is giving something to the AOM community.

Here is to the next 5,000.
