How To Speed Up Your Computer

 A Slow Start, A Fast Correction

At times for many people, browsing the internet seems like a hassle. The problem that many believe is a slow internet service provider, but there are other possibility's to the situation, like mass storage of temporary files held in a computer , or things such as add-ons, cookies, extensions, tool-bars, or certain configurations which are loaded with the browser.

  During use of the internet some users don't realize that more temporary files come into the PC and stack together with every website visited, also with time, such as watching a video or researching. In time the temporary files will start to slow both the computer and internet browser.
There are ways to bypass this problem such as deleting the temporary files on the said user's profile, a person could also set up a system to clear all unnecessary temporary files and data, like web history.

  Also the use of a large quantity of extensions, tool-bars, and add-ons tend to risk the chances of a PC and internet browser to slow. This also brings the risk of attacks on a computer since some have a weak chance of defending against threats or securing the PC.
For fair warning, do not install free tool-bars from websites, unless you know it's safe, and is required for the computer in use, since a lot of tool-bars are used to hack, or attack PC's.


 I recommend using the CCleaner tool program which gets rid of the clutter, and caches found in the browsers most used such as Explorer, Firefox, Safari and others cleaning out what doesn't need to be there and giving back much needed space to your PC.

sony-system-systemtype-64-bit-OS

In this case I'm running Windows on a 64-bit Operating System, and I have a good connection to the internet, so I will download the online version of Mac iOS X Mountain Lion 64-bit Online.


The Installation!

Now that you know the appropriate download you can begin the installation, and like always with all installations their may and may not be extra software that comes with the program, so unless you don't want the extra software that comes with this package, I recommend installing how we did below. 
  • When the installation screen appears we recommend un-checking all boxes under custom installation.

  • If you don't want to install the extra software like we mentioned above then you'll un-check that box as well. (we don't have anything against cruelty)

  • When ever you get to the welcome screen then the process of installing the skin pack should be a no brainer.

  • Through the process of installing you eventually get to a screen that tells you to reboot, I recommend rebooting ASAP.

After you reboot and log-into your machine you will recognize the familiar Mac iOS X Mountain Lion interface.


Pretty cool huh, although its not the real version of Mac iOS X Mountain Lion you could really appreciate the hard work that was put into making this skin pack.

Hide Private Files Inside Of Photos, Folders & More!

If you are looking for a quick legit way to hide your personal files on your computer from your snooping girlfriend, friends, or room mates then finding a place to hide them can become quite difficult. Especially if you're new to computers and have little or no knowledge.

How To Hide Personal (Private) Files Multiple Ways

Today I will be showing you multiple ways that you can use to hide sensitive data and information that you hold dear to your heart. What ever the case might be I'm sure one of these ways would be of some help to you. Please understand that these methods consists of basic knowledge of a computer, however we'll try to explain in the simplest way possible, in the case that you're still having problems we would be happy to help you, by simply leaving a comment along with the question. As we go through out the steps mentioned here, hiding your files will become more difficult and difficult.

1. Making Private Files Invisible "Hidden"

This is the most easiest way to hide your private files and folders. Doing this consists of basically two steps, making it invisible "hidden", then making it visible "unhidden".   
  • Simply locate the file or folder you want to hide.
  • Now (Right-Click) the file and check the box that says hidden.
  • Click Apply then tick Apply changes to this folder only, then OK.
  • Now if you look at the folder you'll notice that your file is gone and that the folder is empty.
  • This is the most basic way to hide your private files.
  • Also note if your private data still shows up but looks transparent continue with this method.

  • To make your files visible again, or if your files look transparent then open the folder options menu by clicking Start > Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Folder
    Options 
  • In folder options click the View tab, look for Hidden files and folders, then check Show hidden files, folders and drives.
  • However if your files are showing transparent then you'll want to click Don't show hidden files, folders, and drives.
  •  That should be everything, if I missed something please let me know.

2. Hiding Files Inside Of Pictures (Automatically)

First off you'll need a program called Camouflage you can get that from the developers site. Once you have it installed or if you already got it installed then proceed with the steps below. Also keep in mind that you'll need this file to hide and retrieve your files.
  • First open Camouflage, then browse for the file you'll want to hide, in the next field select the JPEG image that you want to hide your file inside of, then for the last field select where you want the image to be saved.
  • I put the files I want to hide inside of an zip folder, this step is optional.
  • I will be hiding my personal pictures inside of an ordinary looking picture of an Koala.
  • Please note that you can only use JPEG pictures.

Camouflage
  •  Once you hit Camouflage, and the process finishes your new JPEG image will be saved on your desktop with the beginning of the saved file reading FFC_ORIGINAL.jpg
  • If you want to recover your files then start the program again and this time simply hit the De-camouflage a file button, then follow the simple directions.

3.Hiding Files Inside Of Folder (Automatically) 

For this step you will be using a program called STEGO. This program simply creates a folder on your desktop called STEGO and inside of that folder is another folder called HIDE you'll have to place all the files you want to hide in that folder. Then run the program. Just download the program STEGO.

4. Creating A File Manager Using True Crypt

Now if you really want to hide some files from prying eyes you'll want to use a program called True Crypt. True Crypt is a encryption program that will encrypt any file to the best hidden file container. If you want to hide your file to the maximum length then this option would be the best for you, consider taking a look at Best Free Password Manager


With the steps mentioned above I'm sure you'll keep your files hidden from most prying eyes.

 Do you know of another way to hide files? Let us know in the comments. 

Uninstall Mac iOS Like Theme In Windows 7

About a week ago we showed you how to "Convert Windows 7 to Mac iOS Like Theme Under 15 Mins". Now we're going to show you how to uninstall Mac iOS like theme in Windows 7. To uninstall continue reading on.


How To Uninstall Mac iOS Theme In Windows 7

To uninstall, and revert back to windows 7 the first thing you need to do is open up the control panel by first navigating to the apple logo in the top left corner. Now on the left panel find and click "Control Panel".
 Once the "Control Panel" is open search for "Programs" section and under it search for "Uninstall a program".
Now a big list of every program you ever installed is displayed (only if of course you uninstalled some before). Now just look for "iOS Skin Pack" either right click to uninstall or highlight and click the uninstall button (located at the top).
When you click the uninstall button a box will appear, I personally recommend removing all of the content by simply checking all of the check boxes.
If a confirmation appears simply click yes.
If it ask you to reboot your computer do so ASAP. (As Soon As Possible!)

Almost Done!

One thing that I noticed after the uninstall was that my Taskbar was not located at the bottom anymore but was moved to the top. If this happened to you then follow the below instructions.


  • Right click your taskbar then click "lock the task bar" to un-check the check if checked.
  • Now drag the task bar down to bring it back to its default resting place.
  • After that you'll need to lock the taskbar once more so that it stays in one position.

Hopefully everything in this article was helpful, if not then leave a couple of comments so we can help you figure out the problem.

Windows 7 to Mac (Apple) Transition. Windows Conversion to Apple (Mac)
If you're a Windows 7 lover but you like the style and feel of a Mac (Apple) computer, then chances are you may be looking to have the best of both worlds. However, in this case you can get the best of both worlds.

*Update: Windows 7 to Mac OSX Mountain Lion

This article is dedicated for both Windows & Mac lovers (Dear Ubuntu User, We will have something special for you at a later time, so stay tuned.)

Mac iOS (Click The Image To Enlarge)


Note: This tweak/program will only convert/transition your appearance of your OS to the Mac iOS appearance.

 Windows 7 To Mac Transition

If you have never had a taste of a Mac computer, than I believe now is the time. Here is how you can get started.

Firstly, Determine what version of the Windows OS you are running. 64-bit or 32-bit?
To find out follow the below instructions. If you already know then you can skip this step.
  • Click the start orb (start menu button located at the bottom left).
  • In the search box type "system" now in the program list select "System".
  • Now look for the System section, then System type.
  • It should either say 32-bit Operating System or 64-bit Operating System. (see below image)

In this case I'm running Windows on a 64-bit Operating System remember this.

Secondly, Download the Mac iOS Theme accordingly to your system type.
Thirdly, Click on and install the "iOS Skin Pack" exe file.

Please Note: During the installation there will be a custom installation option. I recommend clicking the custom option. Reason why is because there is 3rd party applications that comes with the program that I recommend you don't install unless you want it. (see below image)


Also note when the options comes to reboot your computer click reboot now. Once your computer is rebooted you should notice the big change.

Find Icons For Windows & Online Projects

Find Icons Online, Website to get images / icons, PNG's for your Projects.
There are numerous search engine queries happening as you read this article, some for Hacking, some for Facebook, and even some for Twitter. But I believe the results for image search engine queries are at an all time low. Maybe it's because of out of date images and or wrong titled. That's why their are sites like Icon Pedia but we've published an article about that site already. Today we will be discussing another popular icon site.


Icon Gallery
Icon Gallery is another cool icon gallery site that features various icons and images. You can find multiple types of icons in their directory.


Just simply use the site by using the search feature. (as seen in the above image)

Explaining how their software can make your computer 400% faster, people don't believe them, they are just after your money.

Why pay for it when you can get the same results with another simpler program! or even better results.


Cleaning Your Computer
If you want a fast computer you should know that cleaning it would make it faster. A computer is like a place, you don't leave it dirty, because the next time you go in you trip over junk. This is one of the reason why your computer is slow, remember when you install a program and a couple of months later you uninstalled. Well your computer actually didn't get rid of all of the files. Some of the left over files get scattered on your hard drive. This is where cleaning software come into place. 

Aero OneClean
So since you now have an understanding of why your computer is running slow and how you can fix the problem then head over to Aero and download the following software.
  • Download Aero OneClean
  • Install the program. (no ad-ware ya!)
  • When you finish installing the program you should see a message like the below.
  • You'll now have to setup everything before you can clean.
  • Please apply your setting as follows. (Recommended)
  • Be-sure to click "Silent Mode".
Hopefully you guys understand why its is important to clean your computer. If you still don't understand please drop in a comment and we will get back with you shortly. until then :-)
