Windows Search 4.0 Released to Web

Not necessarily a "Windows Experience" (although it does improve the Windows Experience) - I'm making this post on behalf of the Windows Search Team. Oh and I am really excited for this release.

Today we released the final version of Windows Search 4.0 to Microsoft Download Center. Windows Search 4.0 updates search in Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Home Server. This release comes after a public Windows Search 4.0 Preview, which was a success thanks to great community participation - with around 300,000 downloads.   Since the Preview was released, a number of quality improvements have been made to the product based on feedback provided by the community.

So, what's new in this release?

First and foremost: we've introduced some performance and reliability improvements. Queries are faster, as is indexing - how much faster depends on your machine and your data. Improved reliability means that system failures won't get in the way of the indexer and all of your data

Windows Ultimate Theme - Free Download


This is a nice, easy to install, theme for Vista. I like the transparency effects of the taskbar, windows and start menu. The best part of this theme is the spectacular wallpaper. The overall design is a little too dark for most desktops but it’s still a good design with cool sidebar widgets. If you’re looking to set the mood on your computer then use this theme for a dark feel.

Are you still using Windows XP? If you are, then you have to download the XP Theme Patcher. If you’re using Windows Vista, you don’t need the Theme Patcher.

Square Theme - Free Download


Now this theme is a nice break from the typical designs available. I really like the background and the whole gray look of this theme. Even though the theme is gray is doesn’t look dreary or bland. This is a great minimalistic design which is perfect for the office and staying focused on your work. The organization of all the elements is so perfectly executed that it seems like the creator of this theme really knows how to be efficient. This is my new favorite theme.

i-Clock Sidebar - Free Download


You can’t get any more cool then this set of clocks for Windows Vista. There’s a design for everybody in this set of 7 clocks. My personal favorite is the Windows clock. I know it may not be as cool as the other ones, but I always enjoy simplicity and integration with the whole desktop. With the Windows clock it will fit almost any designs. I’m thinking that most people will like the transformers one the best.

How to create an all- day events in Outlook 2007

More information about events

Usually an event occurs once and can last for one day or several days, but an annual event, such as a birthday or anniversary, occurs yearly on a specific date.

Events and annual events do not occupy blocks of time in your calendar; instead, they appear as banners. An all-day appointment displays your time as busy when viewed by other people, but an event or annual event displays your time as free.

Create an event

  1. In Calendar, on the Actions menu, click New All Day Event.
  2. In the Subject box, type a description.
  3. In the Location box, enter the location.
  4. To indicate to people who are viewing your calendar that you are out of office instead of free, on the Event tab, in the Options group, click Out of Office in the Show As list.
  5. If the event lasts longer than one day, change the values in the Start time and End time boxes.
  6. Click Save and Close.

Adding Interactive USB Ports for Gadgets

As far as your PC desktop is concerned, people want the usual USB ports to be available in numbers so that they can plug in various interface devices such as the printers, keyboards, mouse and card readers that are used today. Much of the contraptions we see today use the USB to be connected to the PC and with all of these things perhaps the dream of anyone to have, you can just imagine the number of ports given in standard PC designs today.

However, computer owners have options of upgrading the number of USB ports they have. Aside from the default ports that come with the usual motherboard, you can also install third party USB cards to add more slots available to you. They normally go into the PCI slots of the main board and are usually detected instantly.

For others, they use extension USB ports which allow a single port to accommodate more devices with USB communication. It may look a bit intertwined for the reason that most people don’t really want to see exposed wires here and there but the at least you are being given the luxury to be able to use more contraptions rather than
