    Today, WinBubble was released.
    Thank you very much NotebookReview Community who supported me in the beginning. By giving an opportunity to connect to other user's comments and demands. and allowing me to post my ideas.

    I treated Questions as a challenge and a part of experience.

    The difficulty in using Website tweaks is that Beginners cannot modify Registry and other customizations.
    Using WinBubble, It will give oppurtunity to EVERYONE to Tweak their Windows Vista Machine.

    1. In my first plan, I want to modify some Deep Windows Settings but I Changed my mind. Because of the difficulty and danger that may arise.

    2. I only selected the important tweaks that I have encountered in the past six weeks.

    3. I will add more tweaks in the next few days...

    Enjoy!

    Sorry AKAjohndoe, But for me, their should be a balance between Beginners and Masters... A beginner should learned first the FEATUREs of customization and tweaks. If he wants to be a master, He'll gonna read HOW-TO articles as many as he can. In my experiences, I love to see applications that can do it automatically, curiosity on HOW it was develop seems like a passion to me.

    That's my opinion...

    My point is that anyone can follow simple instructions. So registry modifications can be done by anyone. The difference between a beginner and a master is in the understanding of what those modifications actually do (beyond the obvious end result that was the original intent for making the modification) and why they are made where they are in the registry.

    In my monitoring, there are 1,540+ downloads. (After one week of release)
    It surpasses other recently released Tweaking tools in freewarefiles.com

    Now, I am waiting for other publishers to allow me to post Winbubble.

    Maybe you can help me, to post articles to other sites. Thanks!

    Hello Guys!

    Today, I have released a small utility called WinGuggle. Here's the complete information and
    it's download link is included. HERE

    [​IMG]

    If you've lost your product key, this can very difficult to recover if you will just look for it at your registry.

    WinGuggle is a small application that can get your Windows Vista Product Key easily. No Installation is needed, Just unzip the archive and launch the application.

    Features:

    *Get Windows Vista Product Key (CD Key)
    *Change OEM Logo and Information
    *Change Performance Information and Tools OEM Logo

    What do you think about it? I have just created it today (6-7hrs)...After I have decrypted my Windows Vista Product key.

    Yap, you're correct...but I changed my mind because the nature of the two is different. WinGuggle will focus on Retrieving informations...(I'll released it on the next verions...)

    like msinfo32.exe, dxdiag.exe, CPU-Z, etc... :)

    WinGuggle will WORK on XP...If you installed .NET FRAMEWORK...
    I'm sure it will work...NO ERRORS :)

    From Majorgeeks: They said "WinALL"...But I never tried it on Win2000.
    Only in Windows Vista and XP. :)

    LEAK: Only here...hehehe
    SAME as WINBUBBLE...There are some error's but Don't mind about that...because there is no UAC in windows XP...Some tweaks will NOT work...such as screensaver thing...and the OEM branding tweaks.
    _____________________________________________________________________________________
    Please feel free to send me pm... :)
    but I'm not sure if I can do it, Anyway, just pm me.

    ________________________________________________________________________
    1. Legal tip: If you want english or any language supported by Vista. BUY Windows Vista Ultimate. Go to Windows Update, Click and download the Language Packs...After that. At the Regional and settings, Just Select "English".

    2. I don't know if this is legal or not. I will not tell you the complete information. Only the most important Tip: If your laptop manufacturer is famous such as DELL, HP etc... Windows Vista DO NOT need a license key to be installed (specific windows installer only).

    3. Try to use Resource Hacker but it will take you several months for a 100% translation haha!

    Simple Ways to Tweak your Network and Internet Connections

    "WinBubble 1.6 will start the idea of simplicity combined with knowledge. Everyday, WinBubble features will be explained and dig"

    There are many ways to enhance and speed up your Internet Connections: upgrade your Internet access service to a much bigger bandwidth or find another provider which speeds up everything, find the nearest node (for DSL lines), upgrade your networking equipment, and by performing some tweaks that offer ways to potentially enhance your network connections in Windows Vista.

    DNS Tweaks:
    Simple Ways to Tweak your Network and Internet Connections - Part 1

    According to Microsoft, "WinInet limits the number of simultaneous connections that it makes to a single HTTP server. If you exceed this limit, the requests block until one of the current connections has completed. This is by design and is in agreement with the HTTP specification and industry standards."

    Speed me up! I don't want to follow that agreement

    Thanks Calvin, Anyway, I've tried the DNS thing for a few days... It was great!
    If you type "www.yahoo.co" it will automatically change to ".com", it has a phishing filter and many more...

    Kill 'Em All
    Got tired of closing all applications one by one. Especially those unstable ones! Here's a Tip to Kill 'Em All at the same time. e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Windows Media Player...
    [​IMG]
    Method 1
    This is the easiest method but it's limited: Press CTRL > Click the Programs in the Taskbar > Right-Click > Close Group. That's it!

    Method 2

    1. Open the Notepad and Task Manager (Ctrl-Shift-Esc)

    It's too long! Read here
