Many people prefer VLC over Windows Media Player because it’s smaller, easier to deal with and in many instances faster. VLC covers a ton of different formats that it will play, but there are times when you will want to pick-and-choose which file type launches with VLC and which doesn’t. You could do this via Windows file associations, but it’s...

When composing formatted email (meaning the type where you can bold/italic/underline text), when you type an apostrophe or double-quotes, Windows Live Mail 2011 will automatically replace those with what most people know as "curly quotes".

You have a file you want to delete. Maybe it’s a movie you don’t care to watch any more, or a save file for a game that you don’t need, or even a program you suspect has been compromised by a virus. The reason you want the file gone is irrelevant. What’s important is that when you try to delete the file, you can’t. Apparently,...

You’ve got something to share with the world. Maybe you want to record in-game footage to show friends and neighbors your awesome strategy in League of Legends. Perhaps you want to run a full play-through of a game, complete with your own commentary.

Sure, you can PING from the Command Prompt and get the information you need from there, but PingTerminal steps it up a few notches by giving you a graphical representation of what’s going on, and allowing you to PING and TRACERT at the same time in the same window.

Also, the Start button actually says...

TaskBar Hider, a free utility which is available here, is a cool thing to have for those who want a little extra control over showing/hiding their Windows taskbar.

When it comes email signatures that gets noticed above others (such as for business purposes), most people do it the wrong way. The wrong way is to add in big images, huge text, crazy fonts or some other such nonsense. Getting an email signature noticed can be done easily by simply using non-standard ways of how they’re displayed. And the fortunate part...

The Comodo Dragon web browser, which you can download here, is essentially Google Chrome without the Google tracking stuff in it. There is the ability to disable auto-updating whereas in Chrome you cannot, and good safety features built-in such as secure DNS, site inspection and a lot more.

The first question some of you would have concerning this is the simple question of "Why?" The answer is that more people have a mix of PCs and devices these days, some of which (like a file server) a few prefer to assign a static i.e. "permanent" IP address. Can you use both static and dynamically assigned IPs addresses from your router at...
