To me, the sidebar was an odd feature of Vista. It reminded of the old Office toolbar(which I never used), yet as time passes it is starting to grow on me mainly to the useful gadgets people build for it. One such useful gadget is the Control System gadget...
Continuing the BitLocker related posts, I wanted to reveal a tip I intend to discuss in the third part of my BitLocker post series: accessing BitLocker encrypted volumes by using WinPE. If something went terribly wrong with your Windows installation you...

Yes I know,a bit late and no I don't want to get a haircut(you know who you are). So after these cryptic messages do I have something new to tell you about this release? Not really,except that finally all those holding out until SP1 can finally install...
It was bound to happen. I even thought of doing it but obviously someone managed to beat me to it. For the full review (by X-bit labs)of how it preformed take a look at: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/mobile/display/apple-macbook-air.html
I will start with a disclaimer. I know, not a good way to start a post... I intend to write a series of posts about Bitlocker, starting with the theory and turning that theory into practical implementation. I am writing these posts based on my own personal...
This came as no surprise to me, yet when you see something theoretical being applied it always manages to give you a jolt...especially if you consider the timing. During the last week I was (and still am) planning a series of posts about Bitlocker. In...
Based on a post from the TechNet Plus team SP1 for vista is available for subscribers. In addition to that it is also available to MSDN subscribers:
After thinking about it, I came to the conclusion that this deserves a post of it's own. The installation process of SP1 for Vista backs up all the files that it replaces to allow you to uninstall it. If you are in dire need of free disk space you...

Since I can remember myself I love customizing stuff. I love changing thins so they reflect some individuality. Logon screen and desktops are obviously my favorites when it comes to computers. I never had the time to check how the logon screen in Vista...
