When you try to delete a folder or file you get the error ” File/Folder cannot be deleted because it’s already being used by another program ” . This happens because a process is still using the target file/folder.
To solve this error follow these steps:
1. Download Unlocker 1.8.5 .
2. Install the program.
3. Right click on the folder/file or file you want to delete and click ” Unlocker ” .
4. Now simply delete the folder/file (repeat the step for every folder/file that give you this error)
Note: Normaly you can kill the process that uses your file/folder, but sometimes thats not enough.

Jason Every time your laptop connects to a Wi-Fi hot spot, whether it’s in your home or down at the coffee shop, it logs the name of the access point that you connected to in the Windows Preferred Network settings. If you accidentally (or maybe even deliberately) connect to your neighbor’s access point, and then find yourself reconnecting again despite your efforts not to, you need to bump that listing down in your connection list and move your router to the top.

Jason Microsoft Windows XP doesn’t offer much in the way of built-in tools for organizing your collection of digital and scanned photographs. Sure, you can launch the anemic Windows Picture and Fax Viewer and page through your images—but if you want to edit one of them, you’re dropped unceremoniĂ‚Âously into Windows Paint. There’s no way to tag or caption your images so you can easily find them later, and watching a slide show in Win XP isn’t much more engaging than turning the pages in a photo album.

Stereo systems used to be collections of components that you maintained in the living room. Since the MP3 revolution, that’s no longer the case. Now it’s easier to collect all of your music in one place—your PC—and play it from there.
Of course, once you move away from CDs, you quickly run into a problem: How do you listen to music in different rooms?
With Microsoft’s new Windows Media Player 11 (WMP11) and its built-in Media Sharing feature, you can easily set up one computer as the server and have it stream music wirelessly to other devices around the house, such as a Microsoft Xbox 360 or a networked media hub. And starting with Windows Vista, you’ll also be able to stream music wirelessly between PCs from WMP11.
Unfortunately, WMP’s PC-to-PC streaming doesn’t work in Windows XP. For that scenario, here’s a solution that’s almost as easy—sharing your music library across your home network, so that any machine can access it. It’s not technically beautiful, but it’s practical and glitch-free. Regardless of what devices you have on your network, here’s how to centralize your music system around WMP11.—Jamie Lendino, editor of Ziff Davis Smart Device Central (www.smartdevicecentral.com) Read More»

Jason Windows Vista Beta 2 is a landmark. While it’s too early for us to say with confidence that you can use it all day for your normal tasks, Beta 2 is solid enough for us to report on this important question: How well will your games run on this new OS?
To find out if Vista’s got game, we set up the 32-bit version of Vista Beta 2 on a high-end gaming test rig using a 2.8-GHz AMD Athlon 64 FX-62 chip, an nVidia nForce 590 SLI chipset, 2 gigabytes of memĂ‚Âory, an ATI Radeon X1900 XTX graphics card, a Creative sound card, and a 160GB Seagate hard drive. ATI released new drivers on the Web to coincide with Beta 2, and nVidia did the same with platform drivers, so we used the latest and greatest.

Jason You can upgrade a computer that runs Windows 98, 98SE, or Me to Windows XP Home Edition. Those same versions, along with Windows NT Workstation 4.0 and Windows 2000 Professional, can be upgraded to Windows XP Professional.
(1).To ensure a smooth upgrade and avoid networking problems, follow these tips before starting the upgrade:
(2)Install all network cards. XP will detect them and automatically install the right drivers.
(3)Have your Internet connection available. The XP setup process will connect to a Microsoft server to download the latest setup files, including changes that have been made since XP was released.
Some programs are incompatible with XP and can cause networking problems. Un-install these programs. After the upgrade is complete and the network is working, re-install XP-compatible versions of these programs: Internet Connection Sharing, NAT, Proxy Server Anti-Virus Firewall.

Jason If you like Firefox then you are just going to wet yourself with pleasure with this new Add-On. It is called Tab Effect but that tells you nothing. In fact what it does is animate open tabs, so when you click to change to another tabbed window the display turns into a 3D cube that rotates to show you the selected tab. It is brilliant and a major time-waster, if like me, you end up constantly switching tabs just to watch it doing its stuff. The download is tiny, just 38kb, simply click on the Install Now button and it does the rest, you will have to restart Firefox to get it working. If for any reason you dont like it, or you experience problems simply go to Add-Ons on the Tools menu and click the Uninstall button. Try it now, you will wonder how you ever lived without it!

It would be awesome if we all had our own fax machine.We could fax our resume to that new employer to be reviewed right away.Or we may want to receive that fax from our landlord so we can move into that apartment tomorrow.
Having a fax machine in your home could save you time in completing such tasks as getting a new job.Now what if you can fax documents without having to cough up big bucks to purchase a fax machine.
If you have a computer with Windows XP, internet access, and a printer, you already have a fax machine.One of the optional components in your WinXP software package is the Fax Services Component.This package allow you to send and receive faxes through your computer using regular dial-up internet access.
