Usually, after installing a new SP you will notice that a considerably portion of your hard disk has been irremediably taken by the installation itself. Well, this is not completely true. As a matter of fact, a lot of space is still occupied by those files belonging to the previous RTM or SP. All you need to do is some housekeeping! Continue reading »

Working in a office is a hard task. No doubt. I know how hard having to do with papers and documents all day long  is. That’s why regular employees need, every now and then, some kind of pastimes. What’s most relaxing than surfing the Web a little bit, right in front of your desk, and read some news or surf your favorite blog? Sadly  your  boss seems to think in an entirely different way.

If you prefer to have icons and labels all together, here is a simple trick to apply. Continue reading »
