New Web Hosting Framework @ SchoolNet [16th March 2010]
As announced earlier, we have experienced a security compromise within our present hosting framework. Most of the sites are now back online and SchoolNet NOC will be contacting individual schools for full restoration of the affected sites. We have made this opportunity to move into a much more secure and scalable hosting framework. Web folder concept has been dropped in favour of FTP/Secure Shell access to each web site. More information will follow soon.

Speed up a PC
Run
Type msconfig
Click startup Tab (It will show u all the applications that runs when you start the computer.)
Disable All
It will speed up your machine. Don't worry all that list is optional Applications.
But make sure only to tick antivirus name file item.
Normally after that I also go to the services tab and untick all the non Microsoft services except anti virus item file.
Example :I am using an anti virus called zone alarm. So I tick only that.
There is another way to do this using registry editor.
start - run type regedit
go to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
You can Delete some settings. But keep again anti Virus file item
Restart to take affect.
If you have doubts ask me. But better to take backups before u do so.
In my case normally I don't keep any valuable files in my Documents, Desktop, My Pictures, my Music or in C Drive.
Also if there any other than one user you have to go that account and back them also.
