Why fight when you can have BOTH running SEAMLESSLY on the same desktop???
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE you may ask?????
Well it is using various techniques... YES this is a geeks dream, to have ultimate flexibility and use whatever OS he wants at the SAME time!
1st method: Get ANDLINUX http://andlinux.org/ read that site to get a drift of what this is and see
a screencap that is worth 1000 words: http://andlinux.sourceforge.net/screenshots/screenshot.png
Linux and windows apps running side by side!
2nd method: Install KDE 4.0 for WINDOWS.. YES believe it or not, the NEW KDE 4.0 runs NATIVELY on windows... all you have to do is install the KDE apps and that's it!
See Links:
Good Guide with screenshots http://linuxhelp.blogspot.com/2008/01/install-kde-4-on-windows.html
General Info http://download.cegit.de/kde-windows/installer/
Download KDE 4 for windows: http://download.cegit.de/kde-windows/installer/ (warning beta still)
3rth Method: VirtualBox Seamless mode!
Yes virtual box is an open source virtual machine with something extra! When installed on a Linux platform
you can run a windows virtual machine SEAMLESSLY (with 2 taskbars one for linux and one for windows WOW!) on the linux desktop and have all apps on the same desktop!
Of course this means you will have Linux as your base OS and install Windows inside the virtual machine.
More info http://www.bgevolution.com/blog/index.php/virtualbox-seamless-mode-with-windows-and-linux-sharing-same-desktop/
see image http://www.theopensourcerer.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/screenshot-nq8.png
app www.virtualbox.com
I hope I have been able to intrigue you all a bit... and let me say something more here.
Its not about what OS is best. If you really like computers you should like all kinds of operating systems and computers
as long as they are good. I personally use everything I can get my hands on, and that gives me universal understanding
about the nature of computers. So basically there is no real debate. Its all up to YOU. What can YOU do better given
all the technology available? That's the question you must ask yourself.... and use everything that is in your disposal.

Overview
From my past posts about implementing your own Shell Namespace, there have been some great questions posted by readers. Many of these stem from the fact that the Namespace example is fairly simple in that it does not implement all of the behavior that is possible in Explorer. This was done to focus on the core steps in getting a working Namespace implemented. Yet, there are a few extra steps you can take that don’t require too much more coding on your part to add more useful features. One question in particular that comes up quite often is how to enable deep searching in your Namespace.
You will notice from the existing Namespace example that if you enter a search term in the search box in Explorer, the search only filters items that are currently in the view. It does not search into the folders. In the below images, we try to search for “Two” in the search box which only results in 1 item. Thus, the sub folders were not included.
What does a Namespace implementer have to do in order to include sub folders in their namespace search results? This is actually fairly simple.
Implementing IShellFolderViewCB and IFolderViewSettings
In our previous code, we did not implement an IShellFolderViewCB for our Namespace. This allows your Namespace to be notified of events associated with the view. An implementation of IShellFolderViewCB can be specified in your call to SHCreateShellFolderView. This is optional and previously we were just passing NULL for this. We need to create a class that implements IShellFolderViewCB as well as IFolderViewSettings. For our IFolderViewSettings implementation, we only need to provide a handler for the GetFolderFlags method. It is through this method that we notify the Shell that we want to perform deep searches within our Namespace.
IFACEMETHODIMP CFolderViewCB::GetFolderFlags(__out FOLDERFLAGS *pfolderMask, __out FOLDERFLAGS *pfolderFlags)
{
if (pfolderMask)
{
*pfolderMask = FWF_USESEARCHFOLDER;
}
if (pfolderFlags)
{
*pfolderFlags = FWF_USESEARCHFOLDER;
}
return S_OK;
}
As you can see from the above implementation of GetFolderFlags, we only care to notify the Shell of the FWF_USESEARCHFOLDER flag. This tells the Shell that our Namespace should use the Search Folder for performing stacking and searching. You could also specify other flags to modify the appearance and behavior of your namespace.
The modified code for this sample is linked below. You will notice that the implementation of IShellFolderViewCB and IFolderViewSettings is rather sparse – most methods just return E_NOTIMPL as we are not using them here. You can implement these yourself if you see the need to extend your code.
Now that we have notified the Shell to use the Search Folder, we can perform deep searches within our Namespace. When we perform the same search we did previously, we now get the following results:
This Namespace simply generates 10 virtual items to a default depth of 5. The Search enumerates the contents of the Namespace to that depth. It should also be called out that we had to implement our namespace's ParseDisplayName method in order for our namespace to function in the Search folder.
*Please note that the method described here only works with the default shell view (Defview). It is not supported for custom IShellView implementations.
Building the FolderView SDK Sample
- To build the FolderViewImpl sample, be sure to download and install the Windows SDK.
- Download the modified FolderView SDK sample
- Launch FolderViewImpl.sln in Visual Studio (The solution file is for Visual Studio 2008)
- Open the properties for the project
- Add a path to the SDK includes to the C/C++ - General page
- Add a path to the SDK libs to the Linker – General page
- Build
Installing the FolderView SDK Sample
- Once you have built the sample, copy the FolderViewImpl.dll and FolderViewImpl.propdesc to the same directory
- From an elevated cmd window, regsvr32 FolderViewImpl.dll
- Restart explorer
- Open explorer to Computer
- There should be a list item named “FolderView SDK Sample”

Enlfxgw Toolbar is a new variant of the infamous zlob clone toolbar. Enlfxgw Toolbar usually gets installed onto your PC without your notice, through Trojan, malware and virus (or you could get it by installing a fake video codec), then Enlfxgw Toolbar directly or indirectly promotes rogue antispyware products. Enlfxgw Toolbar will cause your computer to perform sluggishly, which makes you believe that your computer is affected by spyware so you would purchase their products.
We would highly recommend you to remove Enlfxgw Toolbar manually, if possible. It’s free! Spending money on a removal tool is unwise, but that might be last option if you have technical difficulties remove it manually. Lastly but most importantly, please back up your data before any modification to your system. Good luck!

One of the things which are never too fast is the computer speed. Everybody complains, there are a lot of programs that promise us help, but in reality, they have a very small influence, if any.
Yet, there are two things you can do in order to get rid of have the sensation of the computer moving a bit faster (I am not sure it gains some speed, but I feel like saving time by not viewing those annoying messages all the time):
1. Deactivate the suggestions given by Windows in the shape of yellow balloons
You already know those messages. You have seen them a hundred times before. They tell you that “Your local area connection is now connected” or other useful, well-known bit of info. To get rid of them, just do the following: (more…)

Probably Windows 98 users remember that in the Start menu there was a possibility to see your recently open documents (as far as I remember, the list displayed the last 15 documents you opened). In Windows XP, this option is gone. Sometimes I found it useful, because I never remember the names I give to files, or the place I save them.
Windows XP has this information in memory, but it does not display it by default anymore. Here’s how to get access to the recent documents list:
1. Open Windows Explorer (if you don’t know how, use the shortcut keys combination “Window” + “E”)
2. Click on Local Disc (C:) (more…)
