There are so many times when we want to browse the internet anonymously. There are a few ways to do it including using a proxy server or a VPN connection. Proxy servers are not all that good in terms of speed and features. By features, I mean that some of the proxy sites disable javascript and some of them don’t allow dynamic content. If we use a proxy server, it’s also very slow and not all that anonymous.

There have been so many times when I’m installing a new application or software and the app gives me a message that it need a particular version of DotNet Framework in order to work properly. And there is no simple way to see which version of DotNet Framework is installed on the system.
Sometimes there are multiple versions of DotNet Framework installed on the system and it’s very difficult to see which of them are installed. There is a utility called DetectDotNet which tells which versions of DotNet Framework are installed on the system.DetectDotNet is portable so it can be placed in a USB pen drive and used where ever needed.
Security is becoming an increasingly popular concern even for the home users nowadays. The fear of being unsecure becomes more prevalent when we get compromised at least once. There are certain areas of system security where even a moderately advanced techie will fail to identify the security hole. The security hole gets identified only when the system gets compromised.
There are security software like antivirus, anti-malware, firewalls and internet security suites but how do we know that they are protecting our system? This is what we should be able to know from these softwares. But unfortunately most of the security softwares do not give any information regarding this in an effort to be more and more user friendly.

Tiny URL services have become very popular nowadays. What tiny URL service does is that it takes a large URL and converts it into a smaller one. Technically it redirects the short URL to the large URL which is convenient in the sense that we don’t have to remember those huge URLs and website addresses. We are given a short URL which can be remembered easily and also is easy to write. Another advantage of short URL is that if there is any restriction regarding the length of the URL, the shorter URL serves the purpose successfully.
Finding software and hardware system information in Windows is always a daunting task because there is no central management of system information. The tool that Microsoft provides and is built into Windows is System Information tool which can be opened through Start –> Run –> msinfo32
Although it provides quite a bit of information but a lot of information is still missing. I wanted a portable tool that could provide me system information with easy to understand information gathering and organization.

I’m a fan of cricket. I have been playing cricket right from my boyhood. In the 90’s, the 50 over matches were thrillers and over the years, that thrill has shifted to 20 over matches. The good thing about 20 over matches is that they are more entertaining and don’t take full day to get the results. Quick matches.
The world cup of Twenty20 cricket is taking place for the second time in England. The tournament has 12 teams. For fixtures, scores and more information about all the teams, you can go to one of the following sites:

A user asked in the forums about how to delete a cached password that is stored in Windows. When we want to access another computer (specifically Windows), sometimes if the remote computer requires a password to access its resources like files and printers, we have to give the username and password once and then it remains in the Windows Cache until it is restarted or logged off. And if we check the remember password option, then it remains in even after Windows restart. Here’s the method to delete cached Windows Network passwords:

Hello, to all!
Today I’m writting about a little tool I’ve created today: Change Task Manager 1.0.
It does exactly as it’s name suggests, allows user to change default windows task manager and use either Process Explorer or Process Hacker.

Windows Vista has been pathetic in terms of resource usage. Even with a system of relative high configuration it runs rather slow. The cause of this slowness seems to be a ton of services running in the background that are by default started automatically at Windows startup.
We have already written about disabling services to speed up Windows XP and also about disabling some services to speed up Windows Vista. But the problem with these manual methods is that only moderately literate users can understand which services are important for them and which are slowing down the system and need to be disabled.
