There are times when Windows or a software doesn’t allow us to click a button. It could be a shareware that only after registering the button would be enabled or a feature that doesn’t make any sense if it was enabled.

This sending message feature is useful if there are a few users logged on and you can send …

I have the full version of Macrium Reflect installed on my Acer laptop running Windows 7 and I find it very useful whenever I want to install and test any software because I can first create a full backup and then if anything goes wrong, I can simply restore it back.

Windows Live SkyDrive (initially Windows Live Folders) is part of Microsoft’s Windows Live range of online services.

Have you ever had 2 images that looked exactly the same with your naked eye but the file size is different? Well I had such experience and even after zooming up to 400% and the pixels still looked the same. I am no image expert and I don’t know how JPG, PNG, GIF or any other image format works but if the size is different, logically something is missing or added in there.

.extension — the extension of the file for which you would like to associate
