How To Add or Remove Windows Features From Your Computer

This site here has a good, easy tutorial on how to install Windows Games. But you can also uninstall Windows Games, or other certain Windows Features that you may not want installed. For example, I like to play Spider Solitaire from time to time, but I have absolutely no need for Purble Place, Free Cell, Solitaire, Backgammon, and all the Internet Games that come included with the Windows operating system. I’d rather free up the clutter! You can do this by going to Control Panel >> Programs and Features. Look at the left hand side for “Turn Windows Features on and off.” In the new window that appears, you’ll see a checklist. Be very careful that you do not uncheck anything you’re not sure of– this could wreck the functionality of a program that you need! I left everything alone except that I unchecked most of the games. After a few minutes of uninstalling, you should see the change. Easy!

Vista Networking in a Nutshell

Sometimes figuring out networks functionalities on ANY computer can drive you nutty. I still havem’t completely figured out XP’s, let alone Vista! And I’m tinkering with the Xandros and Ubuntu operating systems, too. I must be crazy!

Well, I found a great article and thought I’d pass it along (and oftentimes, I use this blog as my own personal resource guide. So many times I will need an article or some software and forget where I’ve placed it in my bookmarks- I conveniently store it here and blog about it so that I can find it again when I need it). The article is Windows Vista in a Nutshell. It’s a good one! Be sure to bookmark it or come back here should you need the information again.
