Increase Broadband Speed



1) Remove Unused Icons from Desktop.
The first step to take to make your computer faster so that you can get better broadband speeds is to get rid of the icons you have no need for from your desktop. A lot of people have over 100 icons on their desktop while in reality they only use less than 20 of them. The sad truth is that the remaining unused 80 icons are contributing a great deal to slow down their computer and removing them can significantly boost the computer speed of the user thus leading to faster broadband internet. That is why you will notice that new computers tend to be faster than computers that have been used for years.

2) Uninstall Applications Which You Don’t Need
Once you’ve removed the icons you really don’t need from your desktop the next step you have to take is to review your computer and have an idea of all the applications you have installed. Now ask yourself how often you use these applications and which ones you haven’t used in the past 2 months – if you take a look at it you will notice that you rarely use over 50% of the applications installed on your computer and uninstalling them will do a great deal to make your computer faster.
 Once you’ve uninstalled the applications you don’t use often you should restart your computer to see how everything works. You will notice the speed will be different and better than the one your computer is having before you removed those applications.
3)Install the Latest Antivirus, and Scan of Your Computer Completely.
The above two steps are great enough to help you speed up your computer significantly while ensuring you enjoy better internet speeds but taking care of your computer once and for all isn’t enough. You have to ensure that you keep on enjoying the great speed you have just achieved and that is what I will be explaining at this point.
Make sure you install the best and latest antivirus you can lay your hands on and do a thorough scan of your computer for virus infections. Viruses can be really dangerous and in most cases they slow down computers so ensuring your computer isn’t infected will make a huge impact on how fast your internet connection is.

Speed up your Slow PC.

Slow PC? Frustrated? Then we will help you. You can make it faster without using any software or PC-Booster! This post is totally based on inbuilt file creation by Windows that grab a lot of your Hard disk space.


1. Empty Recycle Bin
It is the recycle bin which is eating most the spaces of your hardisk if you dont vacant it regularly.  To empty, just right click the Recycle bin and Click “Empty Recycle Bin”.




2. Remove Temporary Files
There are many files that are of no use stored on your computer. These files are created during installation of programs or logs of some Applications. You can delete it easily by:
  • Start > Run
  • Type: %temp%  and press Enter
You are now inside the temprary files folder. Delete permanatly by selecting all and pressing Shift + Del. Some files would be used by some processes, so you can leave it and delete afterwards.
There is one more temporary folder in your computer which many don’t know. Its inside the Windows folder:
C:WindowsTemp
Delete all the files here.

3. Keep Less burden on C (Windows Drive)

As we know C: is the drive where whole Windows platform is based (Except dual booted system), so try keeping less files on this drive. Try installing Games or Programs in any other drive.

4. Remove unused Restore points

Here we are, one the biggest space grabber for Windows! Restore points are made automatically so that we can restore the system to previous date when the Windows is either infected or damaged.

When your PC is safe and not at all infected, you can delete the old restore points and create a new one.
To delete,
  1. Right Click on My Computer icon and select properties.
  2. Click on System Restore Tab.
  3. Now check “Turn off System Restore in all drives” and press Apply.
Once it is applied, uncheck the box and press OK.
Now the Previous Restore Points are deleted, its time to create a new one. To do this:
1.Goto Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore.
2.Type the name of the restore point (whatever you want).
3.Hit Create.
The restore point is now created. And you see how much space you have gained after this. I gained about 13 GB of space !

5. Configure Start up Applications

Your system loads many programs during the startup. More apps on startup more slow will be the system. So, optimize your startup and keep less programs to start in boot. You can do this by:
Goto Start > Run.
Type msconfig.
Now click on Startup tab.

Now uncheck those programs which you think are useless to be put into startup.


6. Change Virtual memory

When your RAM is not enough, your PC resorts to using the free space found on your hard drive in order to deal with data overflow. This free space that is used is called virtual memory. You can change its value to trick the programs that require perquisites for a certain memory. It plays major role in terms of performance.
Increasing the size of your virtual memory is relatively easy and requires no special downloads.

  1. Right click on Computer icon and select Properties.
  2. Click on Advanced system Settings.
  3. Click Advanced tab.
  4. Click Settings under Performance
  5. Then,Select Advanced tab
  6. Under Virtual Memory, click change.

Now change the maximum value a bit and initial value too. If you have 1000 MBs of RAM, make your Virtual Memory size 1500 MBs. Good trick to know is to make minimum and maximum paging file size the same value. This will keep your PC from constantly changing your Page file Size and keep its performance more stable.

How to Use Multiple Google Account in Chrome


Google has infiltrated into our digital lives so much. It is almost difficult to think anything without Google. We are dependent on the Google for finding information on the internet as well as using its many products like Gmail, Calendar, Buzz, Reader, etc.
Most of the products didn’t allow multiple logins thus today we will tell you a lesser known feature of Google Chrome web browser. This is called as incognito mode. This mode is similar to InPrivate browsing mode of Internet Explorer. When you open a new incognito window then all the cookies from the standard session are not saved and you can open your other Google account. The shortcut to open this mode is Ctrl+Shift+N.(Incognito)
multiple gmail account
More details about this mode can be obtained from the help center of Chrome. It describes this mode as the mode in which all your browsing history and downloads will not be tracked. A simple blank cookie will be generated at the start of the session and it will be destroyed at the end of your incognito session. 
In this way you can log into more than one Google accounts one in the standard mode and other in the incognito mode.

How To Create Custom Google Alerts


n this age of vast expansion and growth of Internet, the information is available to us far more than we can actually receive it. Today Google is the answer to most of our queries and the search engine is successfully delivering the results consistently without any failures. The company has started out its beta version of its Alerts service that will help you a lot if you are studying or researching on certain topics and areas.

At times it becomes almost impossible to keep track of the latest happenings and news on those topics and in this service you can get all the related news, blogs, videos and other stuff at a single platform all for free. The information will be delivered directly to your mailbox or you can subscribe to its RSS feeds.
The following steps will help you in creating your own customized alerts that will be delivered by Google at your mailbox.
a. First and foremost, create a Gmail account which is needed to activate the services and then logon to http://www.google.com/alerts
Create custom google alerts
b. You can search and preview the results before subscribing to the alerts service.
c. For example in the search box type in “Apple Computers” and select everything from the Type: selection list, this will include everything that is related to Apple Computers. Then you can control the frequency and volume. Finally select the mode of delivery and hit the submit button to create a custom alert.
This is the smart way of searching the internet and all the related information that you need will be delivered to your inbox directly.
