Manage the Recycle Bin


The Windows Recycle Bin can take up a large part of your hard drive space - 10% by default. To reclaim some of that disk space:

1. Right click the Recycle Bin icon.

2. Click Properties

Next to Custom Size you can set the size of the Recycle Bin in megabytes, 200 megabytes should be suitable for most drives.

If you prefer that deleted files not go into the Recycle Bin and instead be deleted immediately:

Click the radio button next to Do not move files to the Recycle Bin. Remove files immediately when deleted.recycle-bin.jpg

Is it time for Microsoft to abandon Vista and move on to something else, as soon as possible?

Is it time for Microsoft to abandon Vista and move on to something else? Maybe Microsoft should consider doing what Apple did and create an OS based on an existing UNIX based system (BSD, Linux, Amiga, etc…).

Or maybe they incorporate some of the forgotten features of Longhorn into a “new and glorious” Operating System? How about taking some of their experimental technologies, like “Singularity” and fusing it with a UNIX based OS? Or Microsoft just buyout Novell now and make a new Linux based OS (Microsoft SUSE)? Hey, I’m not saying that Vista is totally bad; however it is starting to look more and more like the “Windows ME” situation. My apologies to the Windows ME lovers still out there on planet “Wishful thinking”, but I digress! In some of the business sectors I work in, I.T/MIS departments and various individuals alike will not touch Microsoft Vista or even allow one connected to their network. There are still issues with legacy

I find the new features brilliant and a good extra, (as shown right) when you press Windows Key + Tab, this shows what windows you have open so you can view what the page looks as of at that time, if you want or need to. Another favourite new featureon Vista is the new taskbar, I love the new Start menu, it’s so much easier to find the program you want by searching for the program. Most of the added features are just make it look better they don’t actually improve efficiency or make itany easier it’s just extra features.

Computer needs:
For Vista to run efficiently your computer needs a good amount of RAM I don’t know what the mininum requirements for the RAM are. You also need a
