If you don’t keep on looking at the screen, you may end up typing somewhere else. This might irritate you sometimes. It is better to disable the touch pad while typing long documents or using mouse for all operations.</p>
<p>Touchpad Pal is a free windows application which allows you to disable the laptop Touchpad temporarily. Though some laptops have buttons to do the job, this is extremely useful for the laptop users who don’t have on/off button facility. This is a lightweight application and the best thing about is, it automatically disables the Touchpad when it detects you are typing the text. This solves your problem and saves your time</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Disinfecting the computer keyboards is required to keep you and your computer healthy.Keyboards generally get dust from air,hands,surroundings( if something spills off ).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.techolar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/disinfectkeyboard.jpg"><img style="border: 0px none; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;" title="disinfect-keyboard" src="http://www.techolar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/disinfectkeyboard_thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="disinfect-keyboard" width="264" height="204" align="left" /></a> To disinfect your keyboard, first turn off the computer. Later spray disinfectant on a cloth. Make sure that you use only disinfectant and not just any type of cleaner because not all cleaners can act as disinfectants. Also do not spray the disinfectant directly on the keys of your keyboard. Spray it on a plain cloth. then wipe down the top and sides of the keys. Wait for few minutes to the keys to dry off before turning the computer back on.It is strongly recommended that you should make it a regular practice to disinfect your keyboard.It not only keep you healthy but also gives you a refreshing feeling while using your computer.</p>
<p>If some liquid kind of spills on your keyboard, The first thing you must to do is immediately unplug the keyboard from computer and turn the keyboard over so that its keys are down( if it is a laptop do is as quickly as possible so that the liquid doesn’t descend into the hardware).This will allow the liquid to drain out.</p>
<p>While the keyboard is upside down use a cloth to remove as much as liquid possible. If you have a compressed can air or a vacuum one, while the keyboard is upside down blow or vacuum it out. Then let the keyboard set upside down for at least a night so that it can dry out.Later you can use the disinfectant method to keep clean it.</p>
<p>Keyboards are quite resilient and so it should work when you turn it on again. Hope this helps you, but the best thing to do is to avoid having any liquids near keyboard.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify">Most of the web browsers tend to hijack the default browser status after installation.But at times we prefer using the old web browser.Here comes the question “How do I change my default Web browser?”, Well there are two methods for doing it.The first is using the Windows feature ”Set Program Access and Defaults” (SPAD).This is available on Windows XP Service Pack 1 or 2, Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 or 4 &amp; Vista, The second one is by changing the “check default browser status” in the respective browsers. Let us start with the first method</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Using Set Program Access and Defaults</strong> :-</p>
<p align="justify">This is accessible from the right pane of the start menu, Start &gt; Set Program Access and defaults or from control panel, Start&gt; control panel &gt; add or remove programs , and Set Program Access and Defaults.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.techolar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/windows-spad-in-startup-menu.jpg"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; display: block; border-left-width: 0px; float: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border-right-width: 0px" title="windows spad in startup menu" src="http://www.techolar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/windows-spad-in-startup-menu-thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="windows spad in startup menu" width="170" height="410" /></a> Access Set Program Access and Defaults via Start menu.</p>
<p align="justify">Here you select <strong>custom</strong> which is the most flexible of all, this allows us to choose the default applications for different works, a mixture of Microsoft and non-Microsoft products.</p>
<p align="justify"><a href="http://www.techolar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/spad-window.jpg"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" title="Set Program Access and Defaults  Window" src="http://www.techolar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/spad-window-thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="Set Program Access and Defaults  Window" width="516" height="369" /></a></p>
<p align="center">Choosing the Custom default application option( Here i choose IE )</p>
<p align="justify">Then Press Ok, Now your default browser option is saved and the default browser for your system changes</p>
<p align="justify">Even though this is illustrated for changing the default browser options , You can extend it to others also, like choosing  your default e-mail program, media player, instant messaging program, and Java virtual machine.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>The second method, by “check default browser status” in the respective browsers . </strong></p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.techolar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/check-default-browser-firefox.jpg"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" title="check_default_browser_firefox" src="http://www.techolar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/check-default-browser-firefox-thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="check_default_browser_firefox" width="384" height="371" /></a></p>
<p align="justify">
<p align="justify">Some might  have previously turned off the default browser prompt, It is necessary to turn it on. You can do it by selecting the following options in internet explorer, Firefox, and Opera respectively</p>
<p align="justify">1.Internet Explorer – Click on <strong>Tools</strong> &gt;&gt; <strong>Internet Options</strong> &gt;&gt; <strong>Programs</strong> tab. Select the <strong>Tell me if</strong> <strong>Internet Explorer is not the default browser</strong> check box.</p>
<p>2.Firefox – Click on <strong>Tools</strong> &gt;&gt; <strong>Options</strong> &gt;&gt;<strong>General.</strong> Select the <strong>Firefox should check to see if it is the default browser when starting</strong> check box.</p>
<p>3.Opera – Click on <strong>Tools</strong> &gt;&gt; <strong>Preferences</strong> &gt;&gt; <strong>Default Application</strong>. Select the <strong>Check if Opera is default browser on startup</strong> check box.</p>
<p>Then restart the browser and select it as the default browser when prompted. To avoid the repeated message prompts from other browsers, uncheck the same option in others.</p>
