Whenever there is a video screen in public, the Windows Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) is sure to follow. Following are more than 50 images of Blue Screens of death publicly displayed. Some have captions. Some seem to be really odd for the places these are.
There are most users of Windows Operating System then any other OS alive and will be; perhaps, unless there would be any wicked revolution by open source hitting everybody from everywhere or Microsoft closes down for greater good of all or due to any other weird cause. People use Microsoft Windows but they do not love it. They are forced to use it because most of their programs run with Microsoft Windows easily. They have been using it for many years now and know it best. Usually they can tell instantly that when it is necessary to reinstall the windows. It could have been the best Operating System of the world or perhaps for Universe, but sadly it is not. Every professional who is using windows, is using it but when he looks at the Apple Mac user or Linux Ubuntu User, he sighs and thumbs him up with a cheeky face, wondering when he will be able to switch.
Windows Task Manager is a task manager application included with Microsoft Windows NT family of operating systems that provides detailed information about computer performance and running applications, processes and CPU usage, commit charge and memory information, network activity and statistics, logged-in users, and system services. The Task Manager can also be used to set process priorities, processor affinity, forcibly terminate processes, and shut down, restart, hibernate or log off from Windows. The task list is capable of listing currently running processes and killing them, or creating a new process.
wuauclt.exe, wmiprvse.exe, explorer.exe, alg.exe, spoolsv.exe, svhost.exe, lsass.exe, services.exe, winlogon.exe, csrss.exe, smss.exe, taskmgr.exe, msiexec.exe ..... Ever wondered what are these files in your Windows Task Manager?
Viruses, Malwares and Adwares are never ending problems with the Windows Operating System. You might have any powerful Antivirus security solution or Antivirus program but still you can not be sure of your PC to be safe and clean from infections because viruses and malwares propagate daily and new come even fast. You can monitor and destroy viruses right from the task manager if you know the right trick.
Well you use Windows until some virus hits the OS and things begin to crash and finally you have to re-install the damn windows again. You ask yourself, "Heck, I had an antivirus software too which could not defend my PC against viruses either". Average user re-installs windows once in a month. Expert user will re-install windows after 4 to 6 months due to inevitable viruses/malware/adware/trojans attacks.
Have you heard anybody using Linux complaining about viruses? Less people are using Linux, so less people are creating viruses for Linux or not at all. Or may be these are Linux users, who are creating viruses for windows users! Anyways Linux is virus free. I know, I know, Linux is a D3vil - tough to master - not for average users. I am not suggesting you to switch to Linux. Still we got a solution for everybody. Its Linux + Windows.
Yep! Meet Linux-XP. An operating system that everybody can use, withOUT viruses.
Transform your Windows Vista into Windows 7. There are a lot of transformation packs for transforming Windows Vista into Windows 7 and yet many custom packages to transform different elements of Vista into Windows 7.
There has been a lot of trend lately to use custom themes for operating system to transform it into another. For example you can use Windows XP with a custom Windows 7 theme. In this case your Windows XP will completely look like Windows 7. Now some of users will not be able to run such modifications or transformations for their XP if its XP sp2 or sp3 (with Microsoft Service Pack updates). In this case they will have to allow third party themes for Windows.

Windows 7 brings features that are even more customizable (such as Explorer or the logon screen) or features that should be added to Windows (such as a PDF format reader, security tools, or disk utilities). Some users might prefer to run Windows without certain features. This enhancement is about a point of choice and control in the Windows 7 control panel called “Windows Features” which is where you can choose to turn various features of Windows on or off.
Windows Genuine Advantage is anti-piracy program started by Microsoft in 2005 which enforces the online validation of some of the Microsoft products. It is automatically installed if Windows Automatic Updates are enabled. This program notifies you if a copy of Windows is not genuine. If you installed Windows updates from Microsoft's website and your Windows copy is not genuine, you will be reminded via a message which permanently resides near your taskbar to purchase original copy of windows.

I have used this software recently. I used USB version which is very easy. Steps involved are followings.
You need a blank USB/flash drive.
Software comes with a folder "usbmemkeyboot" containing 'SP27608.exe' which is HP Windows Format Utility for USb drive. This will install the software. After installation run this utility to make your USB bootable.
Now along with this software there are some other files in the package which you just copy and past in USB drive. There are instructions for the process in detail at their website.
After you have created bootable flash disk, open command prompt by using command cmd in run and browse there your USB drive. Suppose USB is starting with letter f.
You might get the following displayed at the command prompt
c:\documents and settings\PCUserName>
type f: ahead of that and press enter.
It will give you f:\>
Type syslinux f: ahead of that and press enter. i.e.
f:\>syslinux f:
You are done.
This last step is important.
Now you have created your USB disk for password removal. You will create it earlier for later use or you can create it at another PC obviously if your computer has been locked down already.
Just check your boot sequence from motherboard setup. Make sure it is boot from USB.
Restart PC, plug in USB drive and let it boot from the USB drive.
All you will get is following.
All passwords of administrators or users will be removed. Restart the PC. Eject USB. Now Windows will be password free and all passwords will be erased. Your user settings remain same. Files remain same. Everything same. Just windows users passwords will be removed. This is a very useful utility for erasing password of any windows operating system.
