Most people know about defragmenting their hard drives. However the Windows Registry File also needs to defragmented.

What is the Registry?
The Registry is a database that Windows uses to store all of its configuration settings and user data. Because Windows reads and writes to this file all the time it is a good idea to make sure that it is as compact as possible.

We are going to use a free tool called Advanced SystemCare Free. Go to the following webpage:

http://www.iobit.com/ascdownload-promo.html

Click on Download

Download and install the software. You will be prompted though a series of screens. When you get to this one however:

Untick – I agree to Install the IOrbit Toolbar – this is an extra feature you do  not need.

System care will install and run. You’ll be prompted.

The next screen will ask you if you want to upgrade to the professional version – close this screen.

From the main SystemCare screen, choose Maintain Windows and untick everything except Registry Fix. Click on Scan.

SystemCare will report the number of errors found. Click on the Repair button.

If you are a Facebook user, you will want to read this.

We all have used applications on facebook, be it games like Farmville or Texas Hold'em poker. But what is this application collecting about you once you start using it?

Most if not all of these applications are third party apps that are created by external companies to facebook itself.
What do they do?
Aside from providing you with entertainment these applications are collecting your personal information to sell to other companies marketing firms. Often this information is not made clear before we allow the application to work within our profile. So taking the time to read the terms of the application will allow you to be fully aware of what the application may be collecting from your profile.

Can i remove applications from accessing my information?
You do in fact have the power to remove and customise applications from you profile. However this will stop you from being able to play or use the application in the future in some cases.

You will see the Applications and Websites section at the bottom left, Click on Edit your settings

Click on Edit Settings

A list of current applications that you have allowed access will display as shown below

To see what the application has access to click on Edit Settings.
As you can see below the Facebook Windows Phone app has the access to a lot of what goes on with my facebook profile. You will see some things are required for you to run the app, but others you can remove. To remove certain aspects click on the Remove button beside the action.  To remove the application all together (this will stop you from using the app) click on Remove application at the top right.

All Applications collect different types of data and information so it is important to check regularly and remove applications you no longer use and edit the ones you do use.

What is Internet Backup?
Backup is an important element of any computer user's computing experience, and internet backup is an exciting new part of this activity. Traditionally backup involved the use of physical media such as floppy disks, CD-Rs or ZIP disks. However, it is now possible to backup your data through the internet without ever having to touch a disk. This is a very exciting and powerful form of backup that can make your backup process go much easier and smoother.

Never Have to Find a Disk Again With Internet Backup
When you backup your files through the internet, you never have to bother with finding a disk which holds your data on it again. Your data is always right there on the internet, ready to be accessed whenever you desire. You can access your data from any computer in the world with an internet connection.

When you backup your files on the internet, you are storing them on an online server which is separate from your computer. It works essentially as an internet drive which you can always reach through the internet. All you need to do is go to the internet address where your online drive is found, log in with your username and password and you can access all of the files that you have backed up through the internet.

Because of the fact that it is on the internet, you have almost unlimited possibilities with your backup storage. While physical media such as floppy disks or CD-ROMs are limited in how much they can store, an internet backup drive is essentially unlimited in how much data it can hold, as it can be powered by a number of servers each of which can hold great amounts of data. If you have a lot of data to backup, this can be an excellent resource for you.

How Can I Get an Internet Backup Drive?
In order to get your own internet backup drive, you will need to purchase storage services from some company, such as X-Drive found at www.x-drive.com. There are many different internet backup services available online, and they are not difficult to find. Simply type in internet backup into an internet search engine and you will find a myriad of results.

Depending upon which company you work with, and how large of an online drive you want for your storage will determine the price. X-Drive, the company mentioned above, offers a 5 GB online storage drive which costs only 10 dollars a month. They even offer a free 15 day trial, so you can try out their service and make sure that it fits your online backup needs.

Once you have found the company you think is best for you, all you must do is register with their web site, and be given or choose a username and password. Then, wherever you are, you can log onto their web site and access all of the online files that you need. This is a very powerful form of backup.
