Annoyed by the Google Automatic Updater service - GoogleUpdate.exe, One of our blog reader contacted me asking for a solution to completely remove it from the computer, surprisingly the process is pretty simple and you just need to use Windows Add/Remove Programs control panel applet to get rid of it, However, if you are having problems using the above method you can manually uninstall it using the DOS-command prompt discussed below.

Rapidshare free users have to face several annoying limitations including pre-download timer, no simultaneous downloading and variable download wait before successive downloads, because of these limitations downloading multiple-files one after another can be tedious for free users, today I will be sharing a free utility "Rapidshare Plus" to overcome this problem, the small portable utility lets users add and download a queue of Rapidshare links one after another in a fully automated way.

The user interface is very easy to use and intuitive, users simply add Rapidshare links to create the download queue, and Rapidshare Plus will do the rest automatically downloading file one after another saving them to the folder of your choice.

By default Windows XP allows a maximum of 10 half open connections at a time, this limit is implemented as a security feature to slow-down spreading of internet-worms in-case the user machine gets infected, if your network use is crossing this limit your computers event-log will show the following Event:

EventID 4226: TCP/IP has reached the security limit imposed on the number of concurrent TCP connect attempts.

This limit can slow down your internet access specially Peer-2-Peer applications like BitTorrent which require connecting to several peers for optimal performance, to increase this limit for speedy torrent downloading you need to patch the Windows TCP/IP system driver file, If your have already patched your TCPIP.sys file and updated your computer to Windows XP Service Pack 3, you should re-patch it using the free TCP/IP patcher for Windows XP.

It has now come into light that Windows 7 Build 6801 which was released at PDC 2008 had some major features locked, However, Rafael from WithinWindows has released an patch dubbed "Blue Badge" for Windows 7 build 6801 allowing users to unlock these hidden protected features meant for full-time Microsoft employees only.

Once patched new Windows 7 features like the new Taskbar, gestures, panning, and Desktop Slideshow (Wallpaper Changer) will get unlocked.
