PC Decrapifier
PC Decrapifier
The PC Decrapifier is a program designed to remove or uninstall a specific list of unwanted software in an unattended fashion. It can be used to clean off most of the annoying software that is typically shipped with new PCs.
How it Works
Simply download the file and run the EXE. There is no installer. If you have anti-virus software installed, it may complain about this program because it is written with a scripting language. These warnings can be safely ignored. Please see the FAQ for more details.
Running the Program
After you run the EXE you will be guided through the process with a “wizard” style series of questions. You will have the choice to pick and choose what you want to remove. It will not begin removing anything without prompting you first!

Windows ReadyBoost
Windows ReadyBoost
With Windows ReadyBoost, you can use non-volatile flash memory, such as that on a universal serial bus (USB) flash drive, to improve performance without having to add additional memory “under the hood.”
The flash memory device serves as an additional memory cache—that is, memory that the computer can access much more quickly than it can access data on the hard drive. Windows ReadyBoost relies on the intelligent memory management of Windows SuperFetch and can significantly improve system responsiveness.
It’s easy to use Windows ReadyBoost. When a removable memory device such as a USB flash drive or a secure digital (SD) memory card is first inserted into a port, Windows Vista checks to see if its performance is fast enough to work with Windows ReadyBoost. If so, you are asked if you want to use this device to speed up system performance. You can choose to allocate part of a USB drive’s memory to speed up performance and use the remainder to store files.
This feature is included in the following editions of Windows Vista:
- Windows Vista Home Basic
- Windows Vista Home Premium
- Windows Vista Business
- Windows Vista Ultimate

SkyDrive Explorer
SkyDrive Explorer
SkyDrive Explorer adds 25gb of free cloud storage to Windows Explorer
A lot of people overlook Microsoft’s SkyDrive for free, web-based file storage and sharing. Still, it’s tough to argue with 25gb of free space for your digital goodies that you can access from anywhere.
SkyDrive Explorer is a free shell enhancement for Windows that makes it even better.
Once you install SkyDrive Explorer, you’ll see a new icon in My Computer (under “Other”). Double click it to open your drive, and a Live login window will appear. Sign in and you’ve got full-on access to SkyDrive right from Windows Explorer. Add files and folders, move things around, delete old junk – all as if they were stored on your local hard drive.
I’d like to see the app allow access to SkyDrive from open and save dialogs, but it’s a great addition to Windows even without that functionality.
SkyDrive Explorer runs on both 32 and 64-bit Windows.

UNIX – Lesson 007 – tar, gzip/gunzip and compress/uncompress commands
tar
The “tar” command archives files
Syntax :
tar key [f device_file] [filename …]
Key argument :
- c a new archive is created
- x files are extracted from the archive
- t a table of contents of the archive is printed
- r files are added to the end of the archive
- f the file argument is used as the tarfile and /etc/default/tar is not searched
- v a verbose option, print the name of each file or archive member as it is processed
Example:
$ tar cvf Report.tar Report.log Report.log.bck
a Report.log 157K
a Report.log.link 157K
$ tar rvf Report.tar Report.log.bck2
a Report.log.link2 157K
$ tar -tvf Report.tar
-rw-r—– 30851/32 160498 Feb 21 11:42 2008 Report.log
-rw-r—– 30851/32 160498 Feb 21 11:42 2008 Report.log.link
-rw-r—– 30851/32 160498 Feb 21 11:43 2008 Report.log.link2
$ tar xvf Report.tar Report.log

gzip/gunzip
The “gzip” command compresses/expands a file that is replaced by new one with the extension .gz, while keeping the same ownership modes, access and modification times.
Syntax :
gzip [-dlr] filename[.gz]
gunzip [-lr] filename.gz
Key argument :
- -d Decompress mode (like gunzip)
- -f Force compression or decompression even if the file already exists.
- -l List the following fields: compressed size, uncompressed size, ratio, uncompressed_name
- -r Recursive. If the file specified is a directory, gzip will descend into the directory and compress all the files it finds there (or decompress them in the case of gunzip)
- -# -1 (or –fast) indicates the fastest compression method (less compression) and -9 (or –best) indicates the slowest compression method (best compression). The default compression level is -6.
Example:
$ gzip Report.tar
$ ls –al
total 80
