Here is 7 great tips and tricks to optimize your netbook

1. Use a lightweight Media Player and codec pack to play all your favorite videos and music (e.g. Cole2k Codec Pack and Media Player Classic HC 1.2).

2. Uninstall programs you no longer use, especially trial software, as these can clutter up the drive. TuneUp Uninstall Manager of our TuneUp Utilities 2009 helps you immensely with that, because it tells you which programs you regularly use and which you don't.

3. Defrag the hard drive to better manage your data and keep your computer running fast. We recommend using TuneUp Utilities 2009 to safely and consistently do this on a regular basis.

4. Reduce the user interface of Internet Explorer, Firefox, and other Web browsers to better utilize the smaller “real estate” on your netbook. Right-click on the upper menu bar of your browser and uncheck unnecessary menu items.

5. Go back to the classic Windows look and feel. Animations can hinder the system's performance. To do that, right-click on your desktop and go to “Properties” (XP) or “Personalize” (Vista). Under the “Design” entry, select the classic design and hit “OK.”

6. Disable unnecessary devices, such as Bluetooth, FireWire, and Wi-Fi, to save battery power.

7. Don't run too many applications at the same time. Multitasking is better suited for a laptop, whereas netbooks are designed for basic use such as word processing and simple Web browsing.

Tips for Those Usually Useless Function Keys From F1 to F11

How many people actually use their function keys -- you know, those little buttons on your keyboard that go from F1 to F12? But here is only F1 to F11 keys.
So here are some suggestions for functionalities that people would actually use:
F1: Blocks the Wi-Fi signal that Mr.-Sit-at-the-Best-Seat-at-Starbucks-for-Nine-Hours is using, forcing him to shut down and vacate the premises.
F2: Sends a nasty e-mail to Microsoft execs' personal e-mail box relaying that a Windows bug is about to crash your system and you really appreciate the inconvenience -- again (this could work for any vendor, of course).
F3: Deletes embarrassing Facebook photos of you posted by high school classmates.
F4: Brings up an image of Megan Fox in "Transformers."
F5: Quickly quarantines any guilt-ridden e-mail from your mother and sends automated "Out of Office / Can't Respond for 3 Weeks / Do Not Contact" response.
F6: (See F4) You were just on a website of "questionable" integrity and you might have been infected with spyware-Automatically kills anything on your machine that resembles malware.
F7: (For IT people only) Sends a reply to those less-than-savvy users who send indiscriminate barrages of help-desk e-mails: "Hit restart, genius."
F8: Sets your PC ablaze because it's 8 years old, still running Windows 95 and you just can't take it anymore.
F9: Sends a digital shockwave to the spammer's keyboard who just filled up your inbox with links to purported photos of Megan Fox in "Transformers."
F10: Kills any Apple DRM feature.
F11: Crashes Twitter feed of any of your followers who are still tweeting about Michael Jackson.

Set the Search Screen to the Classic Look

When I first saw the default search pane in Windows XP, my instinct was to return it to its classic look; that puppy had to go. Of course, I later discovered that a doggie door is built into the applet. Click "Change preferences" then "Without an animated screen character." If you'd rather give it a bare-bones "Windows 2000" look and feel, fire up your Registry editor and navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ CabinetState.

You may need to create a new string value labeled "Use Search Asst" and set it to "no".

How to Remove Windows XP's Messenger

heoretically, you can get rid of it (as well as a few other things). Windows 2000 power users should already be familiar with this tweak.

Fire up the Windows Explorer and navigate your way to the %SYSTEMROOT% \ INF folder. What the heck is that thingy with the percentage signs? It's a variable. For most people, %SYSTEMROOT% is C:\Windows. For others, it may be E:\WinXP. Get it? Okay, on with the hack! In the INF folder, open sysoc.inf (but not before making a BACKUP copy first). Before your eyes glaze over, look for the line containing "msmsgs" in it. Near the end of that particular line, you'll notice that the word "hide" is not so hidden. Go ahead and delete "hide" (so that the flanking commas are left sitting next to one another). Save the file and close it. Now, open the Add and Remove Programs applet in the Control Panel. Click the Add / Remove Windows Components icon. You should see "Windows Messenger" in that list. Remove the checkmark from its box, and you should be set. NOTE: there are other hidden system components in that sysoc.inf file, too. Remove "hide" and the subsequent programs at your own risk.

Document protection

When there are more than one person working on the same document the tracked changes feature can also be used to enable document W protection. By doing this reviewers will be able to edit the document, but they will not be able to turn off Track Changes and they will not be able to accept or reject changes
Here is how • Complete the first draft and save it
• Choose Protect Docu- mentfrom the Toolsmenu
• Under Protect document for select the Tracked changes radio button
• Enter a password (you will be prompted to confirm the password)
• The Track Changes feature will be enabled automatically
(Note:Remember the pass- word. There is no way to unlock the document if without the password).

Tune up utility 2009

The fastest Windows of all time in just five minutes!
Part 1: Switch off annoying background tasks

Immediately after logging on to the computer, Windows starts so-called "Scheduled Tasks" which are frequently not needed at all. This costs time and processing power. Decide for yourself which ones you need, and simply switch off the unnecessary tasks.

How it works with Windows XP

	Click “Start”, “Control Panel”, and “Scheduled Tasks.”

Here you will see an overview of all Scheduled Tasks which start either immediately after logging on or at a particular time. Simply delete tasks which are not required! Example:

Finished! After the computer is restarted, you will no longer be disturbed by these independently active tasks. Tip: The deleted task can be found in the Recycle Bin, should a problem occur. Also make sure that you don't remove any entries from TuneUp Utilities 2009. These ensure a fast and error-free system!

How it works with Windows Vista First of all, click the “Start” button and type the following term into the search box: "Task Scheduler"

	In the list of results, simply click “Task Scheduler” and then “Continue.” Now double-click “Task Scheduler”, “Microsoft”, and “Windows.” You can now decide which of these tasks you want to switch off without having to think twice about it.

First of all, click “Customer Experience Improvement Program” and select all entries visible on the right-hand side:

Then simply select “Disable.” Behind this first disabled entry is the “Microsoft Customer Experience Improvement Program”, which likes to send (anonymous) utilization statistics to Microsoft! Repeat this step with the following tasks if they are not absolutely necessary:

“Defrag” defragments the hard drive at scheduled times. Unnecessary! Instead use TuneUp Drive Defrag. “DiskDiagnostics” checks the hard drive for errors – as this check is very superficial, use TuneUp Disk Doctor instead. “MobilePC”: Switch off the entry “HotStart” on the right – behind this is a function which has so far not really been exploited in any laptop. It starts a program (something like Media Player) without an operating system immediately after switching the computer on. “SideShow” is a Windows function with which information can be displayed on a laptop on a small, secondary display. Only a handful of laptops support this – therefore: Disable!

Now the most superficial of tasks have been switched off and will no longer be slowly loaded when starting Windows!
