Vista Elegance Theme - Free Download


I think the name of this theme says it all. This elegant Vista theme is just wonderful in its colors and simplicity. I think this theme really compliments the Aero features better then almost any other theme. It’s really nice to finally get a classy theme that will also work at the office. I hope this creator keeps up the great work.

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.

Put Windows Live on your Windows Mobile phone

Windows Live for Windows Mobile is now available to download for your Windows Mobile phone. Windows Live for Windows Mobile lets Windows Mobile users sync their email from Windows Live Hotmail as well as their Windows Live Contacts.

To download, just head on over to this URL on your Windows Mobile phone:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/mobile/wl/download-en-us.mspx

Just download the .cab file for the version of Windows Mobile you are running (Standard or Professional). Windows Live for Windows Mobile works on phones running both Windows Mobile and Windows Mobile 6 (and 6.1).

Let me explain how I use Windows Live for Windows Mobile today on my BlackJack II. Because Windows Live for Windows Mobile syncs up my Windows Live Contacts - I encourage many of my contacts to edit their profiles and make sure their email addresses and phone numbers are correct. When their Windows Live Contact is synced to my phone - their name appears under my Contacts on my Windows Mobile phone (Windows Mobile has a centralized "contact directory").

Block XP SP3 - Stop the madness

or

2. Download and use the free GUI tool we have to make the change on a single system

Service Pack 3 Blocker

or

3. Download and use the free command line tools from MS

or

4. Update the registry manually. To do this you simply need to go to this key:

HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate

Create a new DWORD value named DoNotAllowSP and set it to 1 (To disable the SP install), or 0 (To allow the SP install)
