Microsoft’s Vision of 2019

Do you know how the future will look like? Microsoft released this video some time ago, but I thought it was worth posting again now that Windows 8 comes into focus.

If Microsoft continues to aim for a major Windows release every 2 years, we will be working with Windows 11.0 in 2019.

Windows 7 is definitely a step towards that future, but there’s a still a long way ahead of Microsoft if they want to realize their dream of 2019. Nonetheless, it’s a very exciting vision!

Windows 8 Release Date in 2011?

Although the Windows 8 Roadmap clearly states that Microsoft will release Windows 8 in 2012, some Microsoft Insider say that we can expect Windows 8 in 2011. If the release date will be really 2011, I suppose they might aim for a release in October.

Does 2-years sound realistic for a major release? I don’t think so. What do you think? Poll Inside!


That’s why I still believe that Microsoft will release Windows 8 later and not sooner. However, we have to keep in mind that the competition is not sleeping. Microsoft got to catch up, Vista was a financial disaster and MAC OS X is catching up. More and more users switch to alternatives. There are some user-friendly linux and UNIX distributions available by now and best of all – they are free!

Is Microsoft like Google in a position where no one can touch their market share? More and more people get used to MAC PC’s because of the great success of Apple notebooks (apple macbook). The popularity of the Apple iPhone probably plays a role too. The competition is hard at work.

Explorer gone in Windows 8?

Some unconfirmed rumors say that the Windows Explorer will not be included in Windows 8. Ok, this might sound like a joke at a first glance, but it’s not. We already know that they are working on a new interface, so it would only make sense to see some changes here and a completely new way to browse files.
I’m sure they will still make it look very familiar, simply because people got used to the Windows Explorer and too dramatic changes would certainly drive away too many people.


Will the Windows Explorer be included in Windows 8?

I’m looking forward to some changes, the Windows UI is definitely a bit outdated if you compare it with Mac OS X and other operating systems.

Windows Test Technologies will be remodeled!

WTT (Windows Test Technologies) are an internal program that is being used to automate setup and testing. It is used for all internal Windows test. It is the so called test automation framework that isng used by all work groups at Microsoft.

Experience in WTT is a highly sought-after skill. If you are working in the IT field, you should consider learning a bit more about this for your next job application.

“The WTT team is looking to make significant changes to it’s infrastructure for Windows 8. We want to address all the major problems our customers have faced over the last few years by developing a truly scalable and reliable testing infrastructure. This is a huge opportunity to drastically revamp WTT over the coming 18 months,” the Redmond company revealed in a resource published in October 2007″

Although they say that they will complete the work after 18 months, in April 2010, that doesn’t mean we will get our hands on any Windows 8 builds then. I am positive that we will get some real Windows 8 screenshots until then.

Secret OS revealed: Windows Singularity and Windows Midori

Surprise, surprise: Windows Midori is *not* Windows 8. Not many people know that Microsoft announced a system called Windows Singularity almost two year ago. By now, Microsoft has confirmed a connection between Windows Midori and Windows Singularity. (Source: Softpedia.com)

So, they have been working on a new Windows for a while now: Windows Midori and Windows Singularity. According to Softpedia they are basically the same system and are both written in managed code only. Managed code has the advantage that it is a lot more secure because the CPU is not directly executing the code.

Currently Windows Singularity is only a research project, but it has the potential to become something big. Especially since a lot more people are familiar with managed code like C++. Microsoft is going for the “open-source-way” and even released the source code of the Singularity RDK.

Can they compete with Linux & Co.?

What is so special about Windows Midori? All operating systems that we know today (Mac, Linux, Windows, etc.) all have one common source. They all have one origin: A system called Multics that is by now almost 50 years old. You can easily imagine that this code becomes “outdated” at some point in time and will not be as flexible as something entirely new.

Windows Midori is different because it has been developed from scratch. That means that they develop a completly new system without any of the old “flaws”. By now the operating system is 60MB big. You can download the RDK (Research Development Kit) over at codeplex.com:

Download Windows Singularity RDK

Windows Singularity will be lighter, faster and more secure. It could be a step forward toward a next generation Windows.Despite the fact that Windows Singularity is “only” a research project

“Singularity is a new operating system being developed as a basis for more dependable system and application software. Singularity exploits advances in programming languages and tools to create an environment in which software is more likely to be built correctly, program behavior is easier to verify, and run-time failures can be contained. A key aspect of Singularity is an extension model based on Software-Isolated Processes (SIPs), which encapsulate pieces of an application or a system and provide information hiding, failure isolation, and strong interfaces,” reads a fragment of the whitepaper presenting the Singularity project.

Tinkering with Zune 4.0, enabling the unfinished “Radio”

Back on the 17th, I posted a quick registry hack for those that wanted to force certain Zune software features on or off. One of my readers inquired, however, about Radio features that seemed to exist but were disabled. Double-checking my previous research, there was nothing available to enable anything related to Radio, so I had to dig deeper.

Before you see Zune’s cute UI, the software has to jump through a number of hoops beforehand. Some of these hoops involve asking the Zune Gods (pictured to the right) if certain features are enabled or disabled. This inquiry is made by calling a special function called IsFeatureEnabled, implemented by a special object returned from Zune’s native (as opposed to managed) library. (This function is one of many that are described by an interface called IFeatureEnablement.)

Why is this important?

While it is true that most of the Zune features were implemented with a “ignore the Gods” override, this isn’t true for the unfinished Radio feature. This feature was marked as permanently disabled, hiding unfinished/unstable code from the public.

Re-enabling this feature isn’t exactly easy.

At first, I was inclined to simply disassemble all the managed code into IL, edit, and re-assemble. This turned into a nightmare involving digital signatures, Steven Sinofsky, and embedded native code (which cannot be disassembled properly). My second idea involving writing a loader that patched the relevant code at runtime fell flat too, due to my inexperience with the whole managed/native mish mash environment. Growing tired, I simply resorted to old school patching-on-disk of the Zune native library.

Zune Function Location 0.1 output

First, I wrote a utility to identify what I need to patch. Static analysis is fun, but not that fun. The Zune Function Locator utility (pictured above) may have a corny name but it does its job. (I plan on further expanding the tool’s capabilities, hence the generic name.) It will locate, within Zune’s native library (ZuneNativeLib.dll), where the IsFeatureEnabled function starts.

Err… why do we care?

Well, as I mentioned before, this function asks the Zune Gods if a feature is enabled or disabled. It returns the “answer” to the Zune software, controlling whether or not the user sees the feature. We’ll need to rewrite this function’s logic to always return “can haz”.

XVI32 Hex Editor w/ ZuneNativeLib.dll open

Second, I opened the library in a disassembler to provide a machine code listing of what’s going on here. The contents weren’t really relevant – I was going to rewrite it.

Third, I opened the library in trusty ol’ XVI32, jumped to the offset my tool spat out earlier, moved a few bytes in and… mashed the keyboard, inputting a bunch of random characters.

No, not really.

I typed in the hexadecimal characters for several assembly opcodes that ensured the feature was always considered enabled. The actual x64 code for this is below:

xor rax, rax
inc rax
mov [r8], al
dec rax
pop rdi
retn

(The x86 code is very similar, therefore I won’t spend two hours trying to format it properly in Windows Live Writer.)

Fourth, I saved everything and fired up Zune. Crossing my fingers, the UI appeared and lo’ and behold the Radio feature appeared.

Zune interface, new Radio feature

As mentioned earlier, the Radio feature is very unpolished and unstable. The baked in stations don’t play or display station graphics, but I’m willing to bet the folks at Zunerama will have it tamed in a few days.

All the resources I used are available for download from either here or the internet. Enjoy your private tinkering, but remember: I’m not responsible if your entire Zune music collection is replaced with Katy Perry albums. Also keep in mind the patched library may inhibit proper servicing (i.e. updating) by Microsoft. YMMV.

FEATURE AND BENEFITS
http://downloads.seapine.com/pub/pro...aturesheet.pdf

DATA SHEET
http://downloads.seapine.com/pub/pro..._datasheet.pdf

TestTrack Pro is a key project management tool for software development teams. By tracking and managing defects, feature requests, change requests, and other work items, TestTrack Pro makes it easy to coordinate activities between team members.


Manage All Development Artifacts

TestTrack Pro is a powerful issue management solution that tracks defects, feature requests, change requests, development assignments, customer issues, and any other tasks or artifacts tracked as part of your development process.



Track Everything About an Issue

TestTrack Pro tracks everything needed to manage an issue, including its details, workflow, known workarounds, related source code changes, email, links to other issues, folders, and its history.



Issue Details - Issue details include who reported the issue, when, the version, a detailed description, how to reproduce it (if it is a defect), and file attachments (such as screen captures). TestTrack Pro can track multiple instances of the same issue.



Workflow - In TestTrack Pro, you can work with an issue's workflow events after they are added to the issue. You can see an overview of where the issue is in the workflow, what events were assigned, who the events were assigned to, and any comments or additional information a user entered.


Workaround - Many defects and feature requests have a way to work around the problem or missing feature. TestTrack Pro includes a field to describe a workaround, which can be shared with tech support, customers, QA, and other engineers.


Source Code - You can integrate most popular source code management (SCM) applications with TestTrack Pro, which allows you to work with records and source code files from within either application. A change made in one application is instantly made available to the other application. All linked source code files are visible on the TestTrack Pro Source Code tab.



Email - To facilitate collaboration, TestTrack Pro includes email tracking and notifications. From any issue, you can work with any email sent about it. You can view, reply to, and delete tracked email. You can also manage a list of users and customers to notify when the issue changes.


Links - TestTrack Pro enables you to link issues to each other in a variety of ways. (As part of TestTrack Studio, TestTrack Pro also lets you link test cases to defects and vice versa to make it easier to understand the context in which the defect occurred.) You can link items in a parent/child relationship or a peer group relationship. You can also set additional parent/child options that restrict the workflow. Your use of linking depends on your organization’s development and testing processes.



Folders - Hierarchical folders in TestTrack Pro provide a familiar method for organizing defects, feature requests, change requests, and any other information you need to track. A list of all folders that contain the issue is available from the Folders list window.



History - TestTrack Pro tracks all changes to an issue. You can view defect history information, including the user or customer who submitted the issue, when it was created, how it was created, who last modified it, and the date it was last modified.



Easy To Use

TestTrack Pro is a powerful issue tracking solution that is easy to install, easy to use, and easy to maintain. With many behind-the-scenes collaboration features, your development team is kept informed of important issues and assignments even when not logged in to TestTrack Pro.


Web, Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Solaris Access

Whether you are at your desk, on the road, or working from home, you have access to TestTrack Pro. All of TestTrack Pro's features can be accessed though a Web browser on virtually any operating system or through native Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Solaris clients.


Completely Customizable

Use TestTrack Pro out-of-the-box with minimal customization or completely customize it to fit your terminology, processes, security rules, and compliance needs. TestTrack Pro ships with pre-configured templates to use as starting points for your projects.

How to make your Uploads last ...

How to make your Uploads last ...
It is no secret that the major file upload providers are notorious for deleting or blocking your files.
This is a huge waste of your time spent re-uploading files. But there are ways to either
stop or slow down the process of files getting deleted.

Here are some tips to make your uploads last longer:

1. Never never never name a file exactly the same as its contents.

Example:
BAD - Windows_Seven_Professional.rar

Good- wsp.rar

2. Always password protect your files.
This disallows the the file storage
company from seeing what you have uploaded.
If possible give each different upload you do a different password.

Example File 1: B_L_v2.rar File Password: a@4%_d1FR

Example File 2: sep_v12-3.rar File Password: q&1W3c_p


3. Use a compression program,
like WinRAR, that has the ability to encrypt your archives contents.
Even if you password protect your archive, if the contents are not encrypted you can still open the archive
and see the file names.





4. Finally, make it really confusing for the file upload company. Rename your file to something other than .RAR, .ZIP or .7z.

Example: Rename sep_v7-2.rar to sep_v7-2.jpg

Just make sure you notate that the file names have been changed so that other members
won't have problems extracting the files.

Example:
Code:

http://rapidshare.com/files/24623800/MO07BE.part1.psd
http://rapidshare.com/files/284613800/MO07BE.part2.psd
http://rapidshare.com/files/261428745/MO07BE.part3.psd

Before extracting rename files from .psd to .rar


These simple tips should help prolong the life of your uploads and make your lives much easier.

Tutorial On How To Make Movie Small Using Real Player

1. Encoding a VIDEO using Real Producer

download Real producer basic

Encoding your video becomes necessary because usual video formats are bigger in sizes and hence some real efforts needs to be made in order to upload from our end and download from other members end...so encoding makes the file size small while not hampering the quality...so lets get going with encoding...

It is assumed that you've already downloaded and installed Real Player Basic from the links provided in the 1st post. Launch Real Player from Start>All Programs>RealProducer Basic 10

This will launch RealProducer and you will get to see this screen:



1. Now you've to select the VID that you want to encode, click the Browse button:



2. Locate and Select the Video (by clicking on it) that you wish to encode and click Open to select the Video:



3. As soon as the Video gets loaded you'll notice that the left hand pane will display the starting frame of the Video and in the Input File you'll get to see the location to your Video..



4. Now click on the Audience button:



5. As soon as you click on the Audience button, this window will be displayed:



6. In this window you'll notice that in the right hand pane, you'll see 4 Audiences listed, Click on each Audience and hit the Delete button on your keyboard to delete all of them:



7. This will clear up the right hand pane as illustrated in the CAP below:



8. Now from the left hand pane, scroll down and Click on "750k Surround Stereo (VBR) 700 kbps" and Click on the Arrow button right in the middle of both audiences pane to move it to the right and ensure that all other settings are as it is as displayed in the CAP below:



9. Now go ahead and click on the Close button on top of this dialogue box.



10. Now click on the Video Filters button:



11. Make sure that Deinterlace / Inverse telecene is checked and Automatic is selected and verify that all settings match with the CAP given below then hit the close button of this dialogue box:



12. Now click on the Clip Information button:




13. this can be filled according to your wish, after you're done filling in the required information, hit the close button of this dialogue box to close it



14. Now click on the Edit Destination button (as shown in CAP below) to select the name & location of the output of your encoded file:



15. Name the encoded file what you wish to, in File Name box and hit the Save button to save the name and location of your file:



16. Now you're all setup to Encode your Video, go ahead and click the Encode button to start the encoding process




17. Notice that as soon as you hit the encode button, the video in the left hand display pane starts playing and you can see the status of your video in the Status bar, and the audio indicators moving on left of the display pane (highlighted below):




18. Now when the file in the left hand display pane is finished playing once, it starts playing in the 2nd display pane (the right one) that is because we selected 2 Pass Encoding in Step 5. Now remember here that 2 Pass Encoding is the best and you need to stick to it if you want quality...so I've highlighted the right hand display pane, with audio indicators and status bar which clearly displays that the 2nd Pass is in progress (refer to CAP below):



So this is how it works out

cheers

How To Speed Up Torrents with Low Seeders

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

uTorrent Search Engines Mega List

uTorrent Search Engines Mega List.

The default search engines that come with uTorrent is pretty lame. I have compiled a mega list of search engines that I use in my uTorrent configuration. The list consists of 20+ search engines that you can use to search for torrents directly from within uTorrent instead of visiting the sites manually. I have moved inactive/dead engines to the bottom of the list but kept them for archive purposes.

Wherever possible, I have included the parameters to sort the list of results by descending number of seeds. If you know any more parameters to optimise any of the entries or any additional search engines please post them in this topic for the benefit of everyone. The current sorting of the list is based on my preferences, you can change it around to suit yourself. You can also leave out the last section as those are either inactive or ones I can't get working again.

Instructions:
1. Open uTorrent Preferences.
2. Expand the Advanced options on the left and click on "UI Extras".
3. Optionally you may want to delete all your currently listed search engines.
4. Copy the list as-is and paste it into the box for search engines.

Saved Password Location

Many people ask about the location in the Registry or file system that applications store the passwords. Here is a list of password storage locations for popular applications compiled by Nir Sofer.
Be aware that even if you know the location of the saved password, it doesn�t mean that you can move it from one computer to another. many applications store the passwords in a way that you prevent from moving them to another computer or user profile.

• Internet Explorer 4.00 � 6.00: The passwords are stored in a secret location in the Registry known as the �Protected Storage�.
  The base key of the Protected Storage is located under the following key:
  �HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Protected Storage System Provider�.
  You can browse the above key in the Registry Editor (RegEdit), but you won�t be able to watch the passwords, because they are encrypted.
  Also, this key cannot easily moved from one computer to another, like you do with regular Registry keys.
• Internet Explorer 7.00 � 8.00: The new versions of Internet Explorer stores the passwords in 2 different locations.
  AutoComplete passwords are stored in the Registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\IntelliForms\Storage2.
  HTTP Authentication passwords are stored in the Credentials file under Documents and Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Credentials , together with login passwords of LAN computers and other passwords.
• Firefox: The passwords are stored in one of the following filenames: signons.txt, signons2.txt, and signons3.txt (depends on Firefox version)
  These password files are located inside the profile folder of Firefox, in [Windows Profile]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[Profile Name]
  Also, key3.db, located in the same folder, is used for encryption/decription of the passwords.
• Google Chrome Web browser: The passwords are stored in [Windows Profile]\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Web Data
  (This filename is SQLite database which contains encrypted passwords and other stuff)
• Opera: The passwords are stored in wand.dat filename, located under [Windows Profile]\Application Data\Opera\Opera\profile
• Outlook Express (All Versions): The POP3/SMTP/IMAP passwords Outlook Express are also stored in the Protected Storage, like the passwords of old versions of Internet Explorer.
• Outlook 98/2000: Old versions of Outlook stored the POP3/SMTP/IMAP passwords in the Protected Storage, like the passwords of old versions of Internet Explorer.
• Outlook 2002-2008: All new versions of Outlook store the passwords in the same Registry key of the account settings.
  The accounts are stored in the Registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\[Profile Name]\9375CFF0413111d3B88A00104B2A6676\[Account Index]
  If you use Outlook to connect an account on Exchange server, the password is stored in the Credentials file, together with login passwords of LAN computers.
• Windows Live Mail: All account settings, including the encrypted passwords, are stored in [Windows Profile]\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\[Account Name]
  The account filename is an xml file with .oeaccount extension.
• ThunderBird: The password file is located under [Windows Profile]\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\[Profile Name]
  You should search a filename with .s extension.
• Google Talk: All account settings, including the encrypted passwords, are stored in the Registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Google Talk\Accounts\[Account Name]
• Google Desktop: Email passwords are stored in the Registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Google Desktop\Mailboxes\[Account Name]
• MSN/Windows Messenger version 6.x and below: The passwords are stored in one of the following locations:
  1. Registry Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger
  2. Registry Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MessengerServ ice
  3. In the Credentials file, with entry named as �Passport.Net\\*�. (Only when the OS is XP or more)
• MSN Messenger version 7.x: The passwords are stored under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\IdentityCRL\C reds\[Account Name]
• Windows Live Messenger version 8.x/9.x: The passwords are stored in the Credentials file, with entry name begins with �WindowsLive:name=�.
• Yahoo Messenger 6.x: The password is stored in the Registry, under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Yahoo\Pager
  (�EOptions string� value)
• Yahoo Messenger 7.5 or later: The password is stored in the Registry, under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Yahoo\Pager � �ETS� value.
  The value stored in �ETS� value cannot be recovered back to the original password.
• AIM Pro: The passwords are stored in the Registry, under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\AIM\AIMPRO\[Account Name]
• AIM 6.x: The passwords are stored in the Registry, under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\America Online\AIM6\Passwords

Windows 8 New File System

What is Microsoft workin on? What changes can we expect in Windows 8? I suppose every Windows 8 fan is asking those questions nowadays. There aren’t many news, but there are some hints here and there!

If you compare the performance of filesystems of the major operating systems, you will quickly realize that Windows 7 is not doing very well:

I found this at FlexSense.com, it clearly underlines that Microsoft got a lot of work to do! No wonder that they have 9 teams working on file management and file access ONLY.

Quoted from ZDNET:

And of the 12 working groups created, “eight or nine revolve around management.

Windows 8 Improvements

The core engine of Windows 8 will have security and performance improvements.

For the upcoming version of Windows, new critical features are being worked on including cluster support and support for one way replication. The core engine is also being reworked to provide dramatic performance improvements. We will also soon be starting major improvements for Windows 8 where we will be including innovative features which will revolutionize file access in branch offices.”

Windows 8 New File System Not Confirmed Yet

Microsoft is working on a new file system, an improved DSFR (Distributed File System Replication (DFSR) storage file system), according to ZDNet.

Although Microsoft is hiring people to work on DFSR (the new filesystem) codenamewindows.com reported that the new file system has not been confirmed yet:

But there’s no way to tell yet if Microsoft will start the actual work on the DFSR (Distributed File System Replication ) file replication engine in Windows 8, or if the features will debut into the planning stage

Windows 8 Server Edition Job Postings

Because it’s a bit confusing I want to underline that the following job posting is for Windows 8 Server. The improvements mentioned above are considered for Windows 8.

“In Windows Server 2008 R2 release, the Server UX Test team (under the File Server Management organization) is finalizing the MMC [Microsoft Management Console] based User eXperience (UX)/Interfaces for the File Server Role. Currently the team owns DFS [Distributed File System] Management, Share and Storage Management, FSRM [File Server Resource Manager] & Classification UI, Disk Management, SMFS. For Windows 8, the SSD organization is working on the next version of the file server.

“As the team moved to Windows 8, you will have 2 main responsibilities – (i) put on the customer/design critique hat as we plan our next version file server management experience (i) participating in the architectural design, and development and driving automated testing for managing the next generation file server. Our current automation does not meet the multi-machine paradigm requirement and so you will contribute significantly in the development of test automation to validate setup/configuration of the new server, managing configuration changes, performing diagnostics and reporting using Power Shell, Command line, Object Model, UI.”

Windows 8 Concept Video: Copenhagen

A user on vimeo released a concept for Windows 8, called Concept Copenhagen.
Although the creator is not affiliated with Microsoft, this concept looks very very promising. I really wish that Microsoft hires that person, because he definitely knows a lot about user behaviour and design.

The copenhagen concept is basically all about usability, portable objects, auto-expandable menus and 3D desktops. The 3D desktop could be compared withbumptop .

It’s pretty difficult to describe it in words, you got to see this:

RSS fans rejoice: FeedDemon 3 is out

FeedDemon 3 is ready for public use, after months spent in a beta version that saw a confusing migration from proprietary online syncing to Google Reader.

That rough patch sorted, FeedDemon remains one of the best desktop RSS and Atom feed catchers. This version contains a lengthy list of changes, including greatly enhanced Twitter connectivity, a tweaked interface that's a bit easier to use, and better tagging and sharing.

FeedDemon has dumped its proprietary synchronization site, Newsgator.com, in favor of syncing with Google Reader. New users won't notice, but older users are likely to lose many unread feeds, since Google can't import feeds with more than 10 unread items. Once synced with Google Reader, unread feeds can again include more than 10 items.

There's also a new, persistent ad placed in the lower-left corner of the interface, and FeedDemon's performance could be a lot better--RAM usage was hefty, and 3GB of RAM didn't prevent occasional program hang-ups.

Twitter feed reading has been baked in because FeedDemon supports authenticated feeds. Hyperlinking and short-URL expansion are automatic, and if you use Twitter as a live news stream, FeedDemon's Twitter link sharing should appeal to you. To set that up, you need to subscribe in FeedDemon to your Twitter feed here.

Tagging, tag clouds, and item sharing get a massive overhaul in FeedDemon 3, with all three features added to the item view and a tag cloud added to the Subscriptions Home view. The interface will look similar to FeedDemon 2.8, but there are many little tweaks to improve its usability.

Flags have been renamed Stars for Google Reader consistency, for example, while the Home page features videos, pictures, and content from your feeds. One smart improvement over Google Reader is that you can view your starred feeds in the folders they came from, instead of in a single "starred items" folder.

We'd like to see performance addressed in future versions, but overall, FeedDemon remains a favorite option for desktop feed management. Let us know your thoughts on the new FeedDemon in the comments below.

Disable the log-on screen in Windows XP and Vista

My previous post described how to add information to and otherwise customize Windows' Welcome screen. But maybe you just want to get your PC going without having to log into an account. You can bypass Windows' log-on screen by changing settings in the Windows Registry, as described in a tutorial on the Computer Performance site, but I find it much simpler to use a free Windows-tweaking utility to do the same thing.

The program I used to customize the Windows Welcome screen—TweakNow PowerPack 2009—is the same tool I used to disable the log-on screen on my Vista laptop. Click Windows Secret in the utility's left pane and choose User Accounts. Click "Enable auto log-on," select the account you want to log into automatically, enter the account's password and domain name (if necessary), and click Save. The next time you start the PC, Windows will start and open that account automatically.

Set Windows to start logged into a specific account—without having to enter a password—via this setting in TweakNow PowerPack 2009.

TweakNow PowerPack 2009 works with XP, Vista, and Windows 7, but I tested it only with Vista. I didn't need to download the program to my XP test machine because that system already has Tweak UI, Microsoft's free XP-reconfiguration utility that lacks a Vista version.

To set XP to start a specific account without requiring a log-on, open Tweak UI and click Logon > Autologon in the left pane, check "Log on automatically at system startup" in the right window, enter the account's user name and domain (if necessary), and click the Set Password button.

The free Tweak UI utility makes it easy to start Windows without having to log into an account.

In the Set Autologon Password dialog box, enter the account's password in each of the two text boxes and click OK.

Add the account's password twice and click OK to start Windows without having to log in.

Why bypassing the Windows log-on is dangerous
Setting Windows to open an administrator account automatically is risky, period. Even starting a standard account without requiring a password is dangerous, though less so. There are many very good reasons why Windows accounts are password-protected, and far fewer good reasons for doing without passwords.

That's why I recommend against allowing automatic log-ons in general. But far be it from me to tell you how to use your PC, so if you want to save a few seconds each time you start your system—and you're not worried about somebody doing serious mischief after gaining easy access to your account—it's okay by me.

Microsoft bashes Google's Chrome-in-IE plan

Microsoft on Thursday lashed out against Google Chrome Frame--an Internet Explorer plug-in that supplants IE's rendering engine with Google's.

The software maker, in a statement, said users are better off moving to a later version of Internet Explorer if they want the latest technology as opposed to using Chrome Frame.

Google plans to use Chrome Frame to, among other things, allow people to run Google Wave from within Internet Explorer.

(Credit: Google)

"With Internet Explorer 8, we made significant advancements and updates to make the browser safer for our customers," Microsoft said. "Given the security issues with plug-ins in general and Google Chrome in particular, Google Chrome Frame running as a plug-in has doubled the attach area for malware and malicious scripts. This is not a risk we would recommend our friends and families take."

However, some took Microsoft to task for criticizing plug-ins, noting that Redmond itself has more than a few.

"Microsoft scared of security of plug-ins. Uninstall Silverlight now," Mozilla's Dion Almaer wrote in a Twitter posting.

Google announced Chrome Frame on Tuesday, saying it can be used with Internet Explorer 6, IE7, or IE8 to use Chrome to render Web pages and execute their JavaScript programs. To work, users have to install the plug-in and Web developers must insert a line of code onto their Web sites that engages Chrome Frame when a person visits the site.

Update, 12:35 p.m. PT: I had a chance to chat with Amy Barzdukas, general manager for IE.

In addition to reiterating the security risks associated with running what she called "a browser within a browser," Barzdukas said that using Chrome Frame also interferes with the private-browsing and clear-browser-history features within Internet Explorer 8.

"That is not made clear," Barzdukas said. "That is a trade-off that customers would really want to make with eyes wide open."

Barzdukas also rejected the notion that it offers a good option for those still using Internet Explorer 6.

"If you are a user of IE6, you should get off IE6, not install another add-on," she said. "It just compounds your problem."

Update 3:20 p.m. PT: Google offered up a statement on its own, explaining its thinking behind Chrome Frame.

"Google Chrome Frame is an open source plug-in that is currently in an early developer release and was designed with security in mind from the beginning," Google said. "While we encourage users to use a more modern and standards compliant browser such as Firefox, Safari, Opera or Google Chrome rather than a plug-in, for those who don't, Google Chrome Frame is designed to provide better performance, strong security features, and more choice to both developers and users, across all versions of Internet Explorer."

Although it does increase the surface area, Google notes it brings some security features of its own, particularly for those running IE6. "Accessing sites using Google Chrome Frame brings Google Chrome's security features to Internet Explorer users, providing strong phishing and malware protection (absent in IE6), robust sandboxing technology, and defenses from emerging online threats that are available in days rather than months," Google said.
