How to Uninstall and Remove Software in Safe Mode in Windows

If you have installed software on your computer and for any reason it gives you issues, the best thing to do is to uninstall it.
(Learn how with this post...)

If you have installed software on your computer and for any reason it gives you issues, the best thing to do is to uninstall it. Period. But what happen if such a piece of software keeps restarting your Windows operating system or worst, disables certain services so that you won’t be able to performs some important operation anymore ? In this case Windows will help you with a special feature called Safe Mode. Basically, in Safe Mode you will be able to troubleshoot your computer in order to fix issues. However, if you need to uninstall and remove some software, you have to know that this kind of “limited state” Mode has the Windows Installer Service completely disabled. Let’s see how to turn it on and uninstall everything… even in the Safe Mode configuration. Windows Installation Service is responsible for the installation and uninstallation procedure. If you try to access it in Safe Mode you will get the following message: “The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your Support Personnel for assistance”. The following tutorial will teach you how to turn the Windows Installation Service in Safe Mode:

1. Click Start
2. In the Search field, type regedit and press Enter.
3. Locate the following registry key: HKLM\ SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ Control\SafeBoot\ Minimal\
4. Right-click on the Mininal key and from the menu select New – Key. Now name the new key MSIService and change the value to Service by double-clicking it.
5. If you are in the Safe Mode with Network Mode, repeat the above steps for the following registry key: HKLM\ SYSTEM#92;CurrentControlSet\ Control\ SafeBoot\Network\
6. The newly created MSIService will make available the Windows Installation Service in Safe Mode. However, I want to remind you that it is necessary to turn the new service on.
7. To do it, exit regedit, click Start and in the Search field type: services.msc and press Enter.
8. From the list, locate Windows Installer. Right-click it and select Start.
9. If the procedure to turn on Windows Installer doesn’t work try this one:
10. Click Start.
11. In the search field, type cmd. Do not press Enter.
12. Right click the Command DOS icon and click the Run it as Administrator link.
13. In the command prompt, type net start msiserver.

At the end of the whole procedure do not forget to restart your computer for the changes to take effect

How to Hide User Accounts from the Welcome Screen in Windows 7

As you know, on bootup, Windows 7 and Vista give you a Welcome screen with a list of user accounts created on the computer. Such a list is available only in the case such accounts have been password-protected. If you don’t like the idea that other users may see your account and you wish to hide it and protect your privacy, here is a simple hack to disply only the fields to inster the username and password, in perfect Windows XP style.

1. Click Start.
2. In the Search field, type regedit and press Enter.
3. Locate the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software \Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Policies \System.
4. In the right pane, double click the DontDisplayLastName and set its value to 1.
5. Click OK to confirm.
6. Restart the computer for the change to take effect.

If the above hack doesn’t work, try this:

1. Go to your Windows registry and locate this key: HKEY_Local_Machine \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ SpecialAccounts\UserList
2. Now, right-click the UserList folder located on the left pane and from the menu, select New – DWORD (32-bit) Value
3. Name the new DWORD as the username you want to hide and click OK.
4. Restart the computer for the changes to take effect.
5. Upon restaring your computer, you should see that the account you wanted to hide won’t disappear on the welcome screen!

tips to increase speed of your operating system

You must read this guide, provided you are a Windows user. Though there are thousands of articles available, what sets this apart from the crowd is this is specially written by tweakwindows!. This guide will show you how to decrease the boot time of Windows to 10seconds. Let’s start with the basics first.
Instruction

1.Go to fonts folder. To open fonts folder, just type “fonts” in the Vista Start Menu or in Run dialog box.

2.Delete useless fonts that you won’t use. For those who don’t know, Windows takes enough amount of time to load all fonts during the boot process. Installing more than 100 fonts will significantly reduce your system boot speed.

3.Next major time killers are startup programs.These startup programs not only increases the boot time but also frustrates with pop ups in your system tray. Open “System Configuration” by typing “msconfig”(without quotes) in the Vista Start Menu Search box or in the Run dialog box. Under the “Startup” tab remove the programs which are not necessary at startups(Ex:Pc Suite,Pc Sync,Realtek voice manager).However, I prefer no programs at startup.

4.Next switch to “Boot” tab and select “No GUI boot” and click “Apply” to save the changs. If Windows prompts for restart, select ‘Exit without restart’ option.

5.This tweak is only for Vista with multicore processors (Dual, quad and octa core processors). Under the “Boot” tab of “System Configuration”, open the option named “Advanced options”, check the box named “Number of processors” and select the number of processors you have.Click “Apply”.

6.Navigate to “services” tab, remove unnecessary services (only if you are not using) like Parental Controls, Telephony, Remote registry, Fax, Ready boost to increase the boot speed.Remove unnecessary services only.

7.Download a free utility called “Bootvis” from here(works only for XP). Extract and unzip the file to Desktop and run the Bootvis.Go to Trace > Boottime+driver delays and reboot the system. Wait for a while to get further message and instruction from bootvis to proceed.Worst part is it doesn’t work with Vista.

8.Use the boot defragmentation feature in Winows. To enable go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\Dfrg\BootOptimizeFunction In the right side pane, right click on the option “Enable” and select “Modify”. Type in “Y’ to enable boot defrgmentation.

9.Defrag your C drive using Vista’s in-built tool. If you think the Vista’s in-built defragger is slow, you can use the free Defraggler software from here.

10.Fix all your registry errors with a freeware tool called CCleaner. Keeping the registry clean will boost your system performance drametically.

11.If you dual boot, select the default operating system to boot and also, lower the amount of time to wait for you make a selection.

12.If you are not using Floppy drive, disable it in the BIOS. If your BIOS supports Quick Post and Disabling Boot Delay, just enable those features.

13.One more boot time killer is Startup sound. You can disable this as follows:type “mmsys.cpl” in the run dialog box and hit enter. Navigate to “Sounds” tab and disable the option called “Play Windows Startup Sound”(only in Vista). In Xp, use the option named “No Sounds” from the drop down menu in the “Sounds” tab.

14.Never use third-party boot and logon screens as they slow down your boot process significantly.

15. updates your operating systems from Microsoft website.

how to change logon screens in windows 7


Windows 7 comes packed with a lot of new and interesting backgrounds. However Windows 7 fails to include an easy way to change the background you see every single time you login to your computer. Perhaps you want a little flavor, or maybe you just don’t like the built-in background. Whatever the case may be, with this groovy trick you can change the background for both your Windows 7 logon screen and the menu you see whenever you hit CTRL+ALT+DEL .

A few things to note about your background image

Windows will only recognize an image of the following resolutions:

768×1280
960×1280
900×1440
1024×768
1024×1280
1280×768
1280×960
1280×1024
1360×768
1440×900
1600×1200
1920×1200

Any image used as a background must be smaller than 256 KB in file size, regardless of resolution. The image used must be saved in .jpg format.

Okay… that handles the fine print, lets get started.

How To Change The WIndows 7 Logon Background And CTRL+ALT+DEL Menu Background

1. On your Start Menu, Type in regedit and Press Enter or Click the regedit program shortcut.



2. Once you are in the registry editor, browse to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\Background

Double-Click the key OEMBackground and change the value from 0 to 1.

3. Do the same thing for the registry key found at

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System

You may have to create the key, to do so Right-Click Anywhere on the window, and then Click New > DWORD (32-bit) Value. Name the key UseOEMBackground then Double-Click the key like before, and Change the value to 1.


4. Save the image you want to C:\Windows\System32\oobe\info\backgrounds and name it backgroundDefault.jpg

If the location does not exist, read below
.4.b The info and background folders may not exist, and in that case you will need to create both of them. Simply Click the New Folder button, and Name the first one Info and then go into it. Now inside of the info folder, create a new folder again and Name it backgrounds.


All done!

Now both your logon and your Ctrl+Alt+Del menu should have the background you selected. To test it just logout or Press Ctrl+Alt+Del.

Top Things To Remember Before Installing Windows 7


1.Check the hardware requirement:This is one of the most important factors that you need to keep in mind before thinking about Windows 7.Though Windows 7 should run fine with the 512 MB RAM system, it’s always better to follow Microsoft recommendations. Below are the Windows 7 requirements:

*A blank DVD

*A PC with a DVD burner

*A test PC for the Windows 7 Beta that meets these minimum hardware recommendations (specific to the Beta and subject to change in the final version of Windows 7). Please do not use a PC you rely on for your work or daily use:

*1 GHz 32-bit or 64-bit processor

*1 GB of system memory

*16 GB of available disk space

*Support for DirectX 9 graphics with 128 MB memory (in order to enable Aero theme)

*DVD-R/W Drive

*Internet access (to download the Beta and get updates)

2. Backup Vista: If you are planning to upgrade from Vista SP1(SP1 is must) then it’s a good idea to backup your Vista drive so that you can revert back to Vista easily. I hope most of you know how to do back up task!

3. You need to backup all your profiles and other important files that I have listed below. In case you are planning to wipe out Vista and install Windows 7 then also it’s better to create a backup of all profiles. Below are the important profiles that I backup:
*Documents

*Outlook pst file

*Windows live writer folder

*Saved games

*Other program profiles that you use.

4.The most important thing for a web addict is browser bookmark folder. Use backup Bookmarks option in your browser to create a bookmark. Download Password Exporter add-on for Firefox to backup all your saved passwords. Also don’t forgot jot down all installed add-ons!


You can even use Mozilla Restorator to backup full Firefox profile.

5. Next obvious task is to backup all the custom settings that you have done to your Vista. Of course, you can back up! Type Windows Easy Transfer in Start Menu search box and hit enter to open. Follow the simple instructions to complete the task.


Windows Easy Transfer helps you move your many files, folders, and program settings from one computer to another—all in one process.

Using Windows Easy Transfer, you can choose to move:

#User accounts

#Documents

#Music

#Pictures

#E–mail

#Internet favorites

#Program settings

7. Move your Download folder from the “C” drive to any other safe location so that you will not lose the downloaded files.

8. Though Microsoft recommends 16GB drive to install Windows 7 I recommend at least 30GB so that you won’t run out of free space in near feature.

9. If you have any files in Desktop just move to safe place since most of us keep important files on Desktop for quick access. 
10. Last but least, don’t forget to retrieve Office and other product keys using free programs like Winkey Finder.
