Manage Your Dual Boot Entries Easily

If you already have your machine set to dual-boot, you'll be familiar with
the screen that appears when you start the computer, which asks you which OS
to start. Under Windows 7, you can edit the details on that screen by using
the msconfig utility (from the Start button, type msconfig into the search
box and then, when it loads, look at the Boot tab). But although this lets
you change the delay timer from the default 30 seconds, and also allows you
to change the default OS that will be loaded when time runs out, it won't let
you change the name of the installed operating systems. So you're still, for
example, stuck with Windows 7 and, er, Windows 7. The official Microsoft way
to change these is with a command-line tool called bcdedit, but it's fiddly
and complicated. Much easier to use this excellent Windows app, which is free
for non-commercial use. Once you've downloaded it and installed, click on
Edit Boot Menu and amend your dual boot settings as you wish.

Free Chrome Browser Add-In Zooms Thumbnails On Mouse Hover

Web site designers like to keep the size of their pages small, in order to
fit more content on the page and to reduce the time they take to download.
This means that it's common for a web page to include thumbnail photos which
are uncomfortably small to view, but which can be expanded by simply clicking
on the small image. Trouble is, when you want to expand an image, how do you
know whether it's clickable or not? Do you have to waste your time clicking
thumbnails in order to find out which ones can be expanded? Not any more.
Download a free add-in for the Chrome browser and, on any supported site,
merely hovering the mouse over an image will display a larger version if one
is available.

View And Block Trackers, Bugs And Other Web Usage Monitors

Most web pages that you view nowadays contain one or more (often many, many
more) tricks and techniques that allow the operator of the web site to
monitor your usage of that site. This is often done purely for marketing and
advertising reasons . For example, a typical web page might contain multiple
adverts, each of which has a unique ID number attached to the image so that,
if you click the advert, the advertiser knows who clicked it. Click a similar
advert on a different site entirely, and those 2 clicks can be linked in
order to identify you as an interested potential purchaser. If you're
concerned about such things, and would like to protect your privacy when
you're surfing try this free utility. It's available as an add-on for all the
major web browsers and it works a treat.

Microsoft have added to their Bing search engine a useful feature called

and collecting them right here." This site certainly has links to many good
websites in multiple categories and many people will find this a good way to
safely discover new sites.

Nifty Way to Safely Move Folders or Programs to Another Drive or Partition in Windows 7

Our Tips Editor Vic says "In a previous tip I showed a method for safely
moving certain personal folders. In this tip I will show a general but simple
way to move programs or other folders and files while maintaining all the
original references. In fact, you can make it appear that your folder or file
is still on the C:\ drive when it has actually been moved to another drive or
partition. Moreover, you will be able to access or even edit the object from
either place although there is only one copy."
