TinySpell - Avoid spelling mistakes in any application

There may be a few extraordinary individuals who never make spelling errors as they type. For the rest of us, a spell-checker is more than a little helpful. One problem though, is that not all applications that need one, have one. For example, typing text in Notepad, you are on your own. Who wants to copy and paste into Word just to check their spelling? From the developer:

"Occasionally you need to check spelling in an application that does not include a spelling checker and you don't want to launch your word processor just for that. This is when tinySpell becomes handy. It is a small utility that allows you to easily and quickly check and correct the spelling in any Windows application. tinySpell can watch your typing on the fly and alert you whenever it detects a misspelled word. It can also check the spelling of text that you copy to the clipboard. tinySpell installs itself in the system tray for easy access."

How can I clear saved passwords/form information from within Internet Explorer?

Internet Explorer


(IE) has a neat feature--Autocomplete--that remembers previous answers to password prompts/forms and automatically fills them in on subsequent visits. If you want to clear this information, perform the following steps:
 

1. Start IE.
2. From the Tools menu, select Internet Options.
3. Select the Content tab.
4. Click Autocomplete.
5. Click "Clear Forms" if you want to remove all information except passwords. Click "Clear Passwords" to  clear only passwords.
6. Click OK to the confirmation.
7. Close all dialog boxes

The actual information is stored in a protected portion of the registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Protected Storage System Provider\[SID of the user]\Data. However, a user can't view the information (although as an Administrator you can change the ACL via regedt32.exe to have a look). For example, in the screen shot below, you can see my (encrypted!) password to the MSDN download area.

Windows 7 Installation Guide / Tutorial

Setting up your Computer & BIOS changes ( If required)


Reboot your computer after popping in the all new Windows 7 DVD you just created in to the DVD Drive. In most cases if you do this you'll automatically boot in to the Windows 7 Installation DVD. But in some cases if the Boot device order is changed in the BIOS it may boot in to your older OS, instead of our DVD. In that case you'll need to change the BIOS settings to gt it done.
 
Booting Up and First Installation Steps
 
Steps from here are pretty straight forward. Read the descriptions in each pages before clicking the Next button to avoid any disasters. IF there is options to choose in these steps you may find them with each images.
 
 

You may choose your Language options by selecting the dropdowns 'Language to install', 'Time and Currency format' and 'Keyboard or input method' here.

This screen is where the installation wizard begins. The install now options will leads to the advanced install options. For repairing a corrupt installation the 'Repair your computer' button located at the bottom-left can be used. For fresh installs just click the Install now button.

Tick the 'I accept the license terms' checkbox and click 'Next' to proceed.

Which type of installation do you want?

This screen provides two options, Upgrade and Custom (advanced). The upgrade option is for those who wish to upgrade an existing installation of older version of Windows to Windows 7. It is confirmed that Windows Vista can be upgraded to Windows 7 with out any issues, but Windows XP is still a problem.

We will opt for the second option here, the Custom install.

Where do you want to install Windows?

Clicking on the 'Custom' button brings the install location selection screen. In the test machine we have an un-partitioned empty disk. But in the case of a normal installation all your hard drive partitions (e.g. C:\ , D:\ etc.) will be listed here. Choose the drive as you like (a 15 GB size is recommended). Make sure the drive don't have any important data or the Windows 7 installation will wipe-out the contents of that partition. You can backup the data to another partition (e.g. for installing in D:\ drive move important files from there to say E:\ drive or to an external usb drive) for safe keeping.

Partitioning /Creating or Modifying Partitions

Click the Drive options (advanced) for advanced partition management options like 'Delete', 'Format', 'New' and 'Extend'. To create a new partition click the New button. But if you have list of partitions in the previous screen, choose the one where you are planning to install windows 7 and click Format. Then click 'Next' to proceed.

The 'New' option provides a text box to enter the size of the partition you wish to create in MBs. A 15 GB (15*1024 = 15360 MB) is recommended. In this case I opted for the full size of my virtual drive, i.e. 9216 MB. Click the Apply button to continue. You may be greeted with a message To ensure that all Windows features work correctly, windows might create additional partitions for system files. . This is a new feature in Windows 7 to have a small boot partition for system files. Click Okto continue.

So here we are, A new primary partition of 8.8 GB is created along with a System type partition of 200 MB. Select the partition you just created and click Next to continue.

All right, we are all set. The Windows 7 installation begins. time to grab a cup of coffee for and wait for 15 - 30 minutes for the all new OS!

The PART 3 of installation shows the basic setup like entering the Serial Key, setting up the computer name and user account, Timezone selection etc.

(Post Install Setup & Configuration)

This part of Windows 7 installation guide covers the Windows Product code (Serial key) input, Computer name setup, user account and password setup, time zone selection, Windows update configuration, location selection, Home group setup etc.

Thank you ......
