I explained how to disable Windows auto-run behavior to protect yourself from inadvertently running malware that might exist on USB drives or other devices you insert into your PC.
Be aware, however, that careless Registry editing can make your system malfunction or even keep you from starting Windows.
Use care making changes to the Registry
Any tip that requires direct editing of the Registry (whether using the Registry Editor or merging a .reg script) should be approached with caution. The best insurance policy in these cases is to set a Windows “restore point” before experimenting with such advice. (more…)

Computers and computer peripherals consume dramatic amounts of electricity every year, draining your budget and contributing to greenhouse gases.
But for little or no money, you can reduce the number of watts your system and peripherals use, saving cash and limiting the environmental damage.
What’s the easiest way to go green?
Too often, grand concepts like “green computing” are like the weather: everyone talks about it, but nobody does anything. Like it or not, the construction and use of computers still involves hazardous materials and the production of greenhouse gases. Is there anything you can do now without waiting for the perfectly constructed, solar-powered, recyclable computer? Fortunately, the answer is yes. (more…)

Gears of War was also released as a Games for Windows - LIVE title earlier this month. The Games for Windows - LIVE update I posted about in October was released as well. Michael Wolf has some information on the update including some specifics about getting the update installed with Gears of War. I was able to install the Games for Windows - LIVE update flawlessly through Shadowrun. You can also download it and install it separately.
Remember, games under the Games for Windows brand offer easy installation, widescreen capability, native 64-bit support, and take advantage of Windows Vista's gaming features and technology (such as DirectX 10).
It is great Games for Windows expanding with new titles!

Most of us, at the first taste of Vista complained after we attempted to shutdown our laptop, later to find out that it was just on sleep mode. If you remember, I recently posted an article about Windows Vista Power Buttons and how to tweak it to your likes and preferences. Now we’re taking it to the next step and we’re gonna create a shortcut for a more faster shutdown and restart without navigating the Windows Vista Start Menu.
To Shutdown Computer
Shutdown.exe -s -t 00
To Restart Computer
Shutdown.exe -r -t 00
After you’ve enter the command click the next button and name the shortcut. Of course, for easier recall of the names use Restart Computer ( well, to restart the computer 
) and so on.
Click Finish, the shortcut will now appear on your desktop ready and waiting.
Now you can either go with the default icon or you can change shortcut icon. Here’s how to do it.
and that’s it. You’re done.
