The Importance of System Recovery

Have you ever considered what you're actually getting in return when you put down money to buy that brand new computer either at your local electronics shop or at an online retailer? Well, of course you're going to say the actual computer itself and everything in it including a humongous hard drive you're never going to fill up, a video card that's way too powerful for your awesome Word application, a high-end sound card that will only be used with your mediocre 2.1 setup etc, etc. Jokes aside, yes, many of you are smart enough to know what you should be getting when you buy that new computer system. You'll also be smart enough to realize that the new computer system comes equipped with the latest operating system (hopefully) from Microsoft, which should be Windows 7 at the moment. So what's the big deal? Well, like with the actual hardware components themselves inside the computer, you've actually "purchased" a copy of that operating system. That means it belongs to you (or rather to your computer). Why do you need to know this? Because when the time comes for troubleshooting your computer and you want to restore your system back to default, you'll want to know what to do.

Quicker Shutdown of Windows 7

I've had problems recently with my Windows 7 laptop hanging randomly on shutdown. It's pretty weird because my desktop, also equipped with Windows 7 and with pretty much the same programs as on my laptop, doesn't appear to have this problem. Basically, I'm left staring at the Shutting Down screen for what seems like eternity. Certain times it would eventually shutdown but many other times, it would just hang and being the impatient person that I am, I would do what many would do in this scenario and just hold down the power button to force kill it. Besides when it's late at night and you're dead tired, I doubt you really want to take a gamble and "hope" that the computer will shut down eventually.

Well, there's a quick registry fix/hack that should force Windows 7 to shut down a bit faster.
