Reduce Your Temporary Internet File Space

The temporary internet files clutter your hard drive with
copies of each page visited.These can build up over time
and take up disk Deep space. Evenmore bothersome is that instead
of getting new pages each timeIE often takes the page out the
temp internet files. This can be a problem if you are viewing a
website that is updated all thetime. If you are on a slow
connection such as a 56K orlower then this can be good but
if you are on a fast broadband connection, like me, then you
can get away with decreasingthe size of your temp internet
files to just one meg without any performance decrease.

Lets Go!

Launch Internet Explorer.Select the Tools from the menubar.
Then select Internet Options...from the drop down menu.
Once the internet options has loaded click on the general tab.
Under the temporary internet files section click the settings button.
A settings window will load. Slide the slider all the way to the
left so the size indicated in the text box on the right is one.
      Click OK
      Click Ok

How To Set Pority on Processri

Set Priority on Process Follow this tip to Set Pority processes, this will result in prioritization of processes using the CPU which will speed up specific programs you want.

Follow these steps:

1. Press CTRL-SHIFT-ESC

2. It will open Windows Task Manager showing current running processes.

3. Now right click on any one of the active processes (whichever you want to speed up), the last option will be of setting the priority. It will have the following options: 

 * Realtime
 * High
 * AboveNormal* Normal
 * BelowNormal
 * Low

The default option is Normal. Now for example, if you are burning a CD/DVD so set a priority of your CD/DVD writing program high, and guess what, less chances of crashed CD’s.

You can also set a priority of some programs low so that they don't consume much of your system's resources. Like for example, if you are downloading something using uTorrent, then you can set its priority low, so that there's ample resources left for other programs to work smoothly.

So just keep trying it with different programs and you will notice the difference.

How To creat a Strong Password

This lead me to explain the method I follow to set a password - A Strong Password indeed by all standards.
You must follow the following criteria while creat a 'Strong Password'
* The password must be a minimum of 8+ characters.
* The password must have 1 number , 1 special character, 1 Upper Case character.

A very simple example that I use to explain my friends and colleages is : P@ssw0rd. It fullfills all the criteria's. The 'a' is replaced by a special character @. The 'P' is of upper case. The 'o' is replaced by the numeral 0.
Well, you can now convert your regular password into a Strong Password by following a few changes like the example I have mentioned above for the simple password - P@ssw0rd.

* Make the first character Upper Case.
* Change all 'a' in the password to the special character @.

* Change all 'o' in the password to the numerical 0.
