Yakalike is similar to Peekko as it also lets you chat with people on the same web page. However, the interface for this extension is a lot simpler which limits your ability to fully customize it.

How To Clear Up Space In Windows XP by Manually Removing The Temp Folder

Manually cleaning out the Temp folder in Window XP is often a necessary maintenance step when the Windows XP Disk Cleanup utility fails to clean out the Temp folder automatically.

Removing temporary files is a quick and easy task that can help save disk space and keep your PC clean of file clutter. Just follow the step by step directions below to manually clean out the Temp folder:
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: Manually cleaning out the Temp folder in Windows XP usually takes less than 5 minutes
Here's How:
  1. Click on Start and then Run.
  2. In the text box in the Run window, type %Temp% and click OK. A folder full of files and other folders will appear. All of the folders and files you see in this Temp folder are no longer being used by Windows XP and can safely be deleted.
  3. To remove individual folders or files, hold down your Ctrl key while left-clicking on each item you want delete. Release the Ctrl key when you're finished. To delete these items, hit your Delete key or choose File and then Delete from the menu.
  4. Confirm that you want to delete the files by clicking Yes on the Confirm Multiple File Delete window that opens.
  5. If you'd instead like to remove everything inside the Temp folder, choose Edit and then Select All from the menu.
  6. Note: If you're prompted that there are hidden files in this folder, just click on OK to bypass the message. A few hidden files hanging out in the Temp folder probably aren't important enough to worry about.
  7. Now that all of the files and folders are selected, hit your Delete key or choose File and then Delete from the menu.
  8.  Confirm that you want to delete the files by clicking Yes on the Confirm Multiple File Delete window that opens.8. After all of the files have been deleted you can close the window and empty your Recycle Bin, permanently removing the files from your PC.

Tips:
You may receive a Error Deleting File or Folder message while the files are being deleted. This just means that one of the files is in use by a program right now. Click OK, close all open programs, and repeat the steps above. If you still receive the message, try restarting your PC and repeating the process again.

So Who's This Guy? Segun Olaleye...

The name Segun Olaleye may 'refuse to make any sense' at the moment, but probably Segun gele may ring a bell after you read this. The man may be seen as perculiar in the African communities because his venture is largely considered a woman's domain. It may also raise a few eyebrews that a hair dresser can make US200,000 in a year. Not so much a surprise given that a number of people in the United States earns more.

3 Best Free Antivirus

A local software vendor may have recommended an antivirus for you PC and you probably thought he is out to make sales. Well, not only can a virus cause great damage to you PC, but can also lead to identity theft and eventual comprose of you financial and back accounts. Therefore, everyone need the best antivirus software the market can offer. Fortunately, there are number of top antivirus that are free for home use, and which match up to the kind of good protection provide by ones available through sales.

But in case you wonder why these firms give away good products; well, perhaps because the pro vesrions has more features that require you to purchase. Nonetheless, the non-pro version still provide good protection for home computers.

Solution to Avoid Auto Installation of Updates While Shutting Down your PC

On a notebook it is better to decide yourself when windows should install the available updates. The best time would be when it is back to the power supply
from the electric socket. You should therefore change the standard option , so that you do not have to wait for the installation to be done when you shut down your computer.

This can be done by creating an additional registry entry . For that, open 'Start - Run ' , enter 'regdit' and is enough to just type the command in the search field of start menu and press enter . In the editor, nevigate to the key 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU'. If the last tab keys are still not available , creat these with 'Edit-New-Key'. Then click in right 'New-DWORD value'. Enter the name 'NoAU AsDefaultShutdownOption' and then press ( Enter).

To edit , double- click on the new entry . Changes the 'Value'in '1' and confirm it with 'ok' . This thus prevents Windows from automatically selecting the option 'Install Updates And Shutdown'.Set the value '0' , if you wish to activate this option again later.
