Tips for Editing Pictures
You can use Windows Photo Gallery to make changes to your pictures. You can improve the exposure and colors, change the composition, and remove red eye—all without using a separate editing program.Follow the workflow in Photo Gallery
Digital workflow is a term used by digital photographers to refer to the order in which pictures are edited. Following the correct digital workflow can make a big difference in the quality of your edited pictures. The Fix pane in Windows Photo Gallery has arranged the various changes you can make in the best order, starting with exposure adjustments and ending with red eye removal. Though you can make changes to your pictures in any order, we recommend that you follow the workflow by working from the top of the Fix pane down.
Why edit your photos in this order? Imagine, for example, that you want to correct the color balance in your picture. If the overall exposure is wrong (the picture is too dark or too light), it will be difficult to identify the correct color balance. Only by correcting the exposure first can you be sure the colors also look right when you reach that step.

WirelessNetView - Repair Tool
WirelessNetView (not to be confused with WirelessKeyView) is a very small, free and portable wireless network scanner. The application is very simple and doesn’t have graphing abilities like Netstumbler, but other than that it gives you all the wireless information you need. The main benefit that WirelessNetView has over most other wireless network scanners is that its portable (as mentioned before) and works on XP and Vista.
Other popular wireless network scanners such as Netstumbler is not portable and doesnt work on Vista.
Vistumbler is nice, but isn’t portable and doesn’t run on XP.
Issider works on XP and Vista, isn’t portable and requires .NET to run.
This makes WirelessNetView the best wireless scanner to carry on your USB drive as its portable and works on XP and Vista.
WirelessNetView can show the following information:
SSID, Last Signal Quality, Average Signal Quality, Detection Counter, Authentication Algorithm, Cipher Algorithm, MAC Address, RSSI, Channel Frequency, Channel Number, and more.

Group Policy Inheritance
Group Policy can be applied to users and computers at a site, domain, or OU. GPOs from parent containers are inherited by default. When multiple GPOs apply to these users and computers, the settings in the GPOs are aggregated. For most policy settings, the final value of a given policy setting is set only by the highest precedent GPO that contains that setting. (However, the final value for a few settings will actually be the combination of values across GPOs.) Precedence of GPOs determined by the order of processing for the GPOs. GPOs processed last have highest precedence. GPOs follow the SDOU rule for processing; site first, then domain and followed by OU including nested OUs. A nested OU is one that has another OU as its parent. In the case of nested OUs, GPOs associated with parent OUs are processed prior to GPOs associated with child OUs. In this processing order, sites are applied first but have the least precedence. OUs are processed last and have the highest precedence.
There are several Group Policy options that can alter this default inheritance behavior. These options include:
•
Link Order – the precedence order for GPOs linked to a given container. The GPO link with Link Order of 1 has highest precedence on that container.
•
Block Inheritance – the ability to prevent an OU or domain from inheriting GPOs from any of its parent container. Note that Enforced GPO links will always be inherited.
•
Enforcement – (previously known as “No Override”) the ability to specify that a GPO should take precedence over any GPOs that are linked to child containers. Enforcing a GPO link works by moving that GPO to the end of the processing order.
•
Link Status – determines if a given GPO link is processed or not for the container to which it is linked.
These items are described in more detail below.
If multiple GPOs are linked to the same container and have settings in common, there must be a mechanism for reconciling the settings. This behavior is controlled by the link order. The lower the link order number, the higher the precedence. Information about the links for a given container are shown on the Linked Group Policy Objects tab of a given container, as in Figure 8. This pane shows if the link is enforced, if the link is enabled, the status of the GPO, if a WMI Filter is applied, when it was modified, and the domain container where it is stored. An administrator or users that have been delegated permissions to link GPOs to the container can change the link order by highlighting a GPO link and using the up and down arrows to move the link higher or lower in the link order list.
GPOs are inherited from parent containers. For example, a GPO linked to an OU will be inherited by child OUs. The Group Policy Inheritance tab for a given container shows all GPOs (except for GPOs linked to sites) that would be inherited from parent containers, as shown in Figure 9. The precedence column on this tab shows the overall precedence for all the links that would be applied to objects in that container, taking into account both Link Order and the Enforcement attribute of each link, as well as Block Inheritance on any SOMs. Note that the Group Policy Inheritance tab does NOT show the impact of GPOs linked to sites, because it is not possible to determine which site would apply, unless a particular target computer is identified.
It is possible to prevent containers from inheriting GPOs linked to parent containers by blocking the inheritance on the OU or domain. Blocking inheritance on a container will prevent all GPOs from parent containers from applying to the blocked container, except for GPOs that are marked as Enforced. Administrators can right-click the domain or OU and select Block Inheritance from the context menu to set GPO blocking on the container. If inheritance is blocked for an OU or domain, its icon will appear with a blue exclamation mark in the console tree.
An administrator can prevent the settings in a GPO linked to a container from being overwritten by settings linked to GPOs in child containers (which normally would have higher precedence) by setting the GPO link to Enforced (formerly known as No Override). This also will prevent the GPO link from being blocked at containers that have been set to Block Inheritance. GPO-links that are enforced appear with a gray padlock icon in both the console tree and in the details pane.
A GPO link can be set to Enabled to allow it to be processed. If the link is not set to Enabled, processing of the linked GPO is disabled. The GPO link can be either enabled or disabled by right-clicking the link and selecting the Link Enabled option. A check beside this option indicates that the link is enabled and will be processed.

Microsoft Offers Bounty for Conficker Authors
Microsoft is willing to pay $250,000 to know who's behind the Conficker computer virus that infected more than 15 million machines, reports Telegraph.co.uk.
The worm also is known as Downadup and Kido and is giving spammers and cybercriminals a "back door" into people's machines, making Windows users susceptible to identity theft. Microsoft sees the worm as a criminal attack and is, therefore, offering a reward for information that leads to the arrest of the virus authors.
According to NetworkWorld, Microsoft also has announced that it is forming a partnership with Internet registries and DNS providers like ICANN and ORG, as well as security vendors Symantec and Arbor Networks, to put a stop the Conficker worm once and for all.
CBC.ca notes that this isn't the first time Microsoft has offered a bounty on the makers of malicious code. Back in 2004, it offered a $250,000 reward for whoever was responsible for the Sasser worm. It actually paid out the reward in July 2005.

How to Uninstall AOL software?
The Broadband installer is incompatible with an existing installation of AOL dial-up software. AOL have a non-standard proprietary dial-up protocol: to enable traditional TCP/IP applications to work over an AOL connection, the AOL software hides all the normal Windows network interfaces, and installs a virtual network interface called WAN Network Driver, with a MAC address similar to 00-03-8A-xx-xx-xx. This situation confuses the Broadband Installer.
So, before attempting to run the Broadband Installer, always completely uninstall AOL software from the PC, and ensure that the natural network interfaces are available.

How To Restore Registry Keys in Windows Vista
If you've backed up a registry key in Windows Vista, or even the entire registry, you'll be happy to know that restoring it is very easy.
Maybe you're seeing problems after a registry key change or the problem you were trying to fix wasn't resolved by your recent Windows Vista Registry edit.
Either way, you were proactive and exported a registration file just in case something happened.
Follow these steps to restore previously exported subkeys to the Windows Vista Registry.
Note: The steps below require working with the Windows Registry. Making changes other than the ones described below could cause system problems.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: Restoring Windows Registry keys in Windows Vista usually takes less than 5 minutes
Here's How:
Locate the Registration File you exported before making your changes to the Windows Registry.
Having trouble locating the file? Assuming you actually did make an export from the registry, look for a file ending in the REG file extension. Check on your Desktop, in your Documents folder, or in your C:\ drive.
Double-click on the REG file to open it.
You'll next be prompted with a message in a Registry Editor window:
Adding information can unintentionally change or delete values and cause components to stop working correctly. If you do not trust the source of this information in [REG file location], do not add it to the registry. Are you sure you want to continue?
Click the Yes button.
Important: This isn't a message to take lightly. If you're importing a REG file that you did not export or one you downloaded from an unknown source, be aware that you could cause damage to Windows Vista.
Assuming the restoration of the registry keys was successful, you should receive the following message in a Registry Editor window:
The keys and values contained in [REG file location] have been successfully added to the registry.
Click the OK button in this window.
The registry keys contained in the REG file have now been added to the Windows Vista Registry. If you know where the registry keys were located, you can open Registry Editor and verify that the changes were made successfully.
Restart your computer. Depending on the changes that were made by restoring the registry keys, you may need to restart to see the changes take effect in Windows Vista or in your programs.
Why does a 20”flat screen display have larger screen than a 20”CRT monitor?
CRT monitors use a picture tube to produce images on the screen, while flat screen displays use liquid crystal diodes (LCDs).CRT monitors shoot electrons through a grid onto the screen, while LCD monitors are made up of diodes that simply light up at different intensities. This is why CRT monitors take up so much more spaces than LCD screens.
So why is a CRT screen smaller than an LCD screen that is supposedly the same size? It is because CRT displays don’t use the entire tube, which prevents the edges of the screen form becoming stretched and blurry. Therefore a 20”CRT display may have a viewable area of less than 19 inches. A flat screen display, on the other hand, does not use a tube, so it should have a viewable area of exactly 20”. This means a 19” LCD monitor will typically have a viewable area that is greater than a 20” CRT display. So much for accurate marketing.
Which Audio File Format Is Best For Storing Lots Old Music With High-Quality Sound?
There are several kinds of audio formats to choose from
when saving Music files. While some formats sound better than others, the higher quality formats typically take up more space on your hard disk. If you have a lot of music files, you will benefit from using a compressed audio format that shrinks the size of the files, while maintaining the fidelity of the audio.The AIFF and WAV formats are equivalent to CD-quality audio. These formats support 16-bit, 44.1 KHz, uncompressed stereo sound. When you “RIP” a full-quality audio track from a CD onto your hard drive, it should be one of these formats.
However, if you want to store a lot of music on your hard drive, You should choose a compressed format such as MP3 or AAC. These formats take up roughly one tenth of the space of the space of AIFF and WAV files and sound almost as good, If your goal is to use the most compatible format, choose MP3, Since this for mat is supported by nearly all music players.
Most music jukebox programs such as iTunes and winamp allow you to choose the bit rate of the audio files you import or convert. For example, you may be able to import songs in MP3 format using a bit rate of 192 kbps. 128 kbps is often the default settings, but selecting 192 kbps may give the music an audible boost in quality. The Best way to determine what format and bit rate to use is to convert a couple songs, listen to them, and see how much space they take up. Then you can choose the best balance between quality and size.
