Burn ISO images instantly in Windows 7

They have made it easier to burn ISO images in Windows 7 by natively supporting the ability to burn ISO images directly within Windows without the need of a third party tool. None of the previous versions of Windows had this feature.

All you have to do is just right click on the image file and choose ‘Burn disk image’. This will launch the Windows Disc Image Burner. It is a very useful and simple tool. This tool is intended for newbies.

But if you are an advanced user and need more options, you should go for programs like ImgBurn.

Improve The Performance Of Windows XP! [2]

Disable Recent Documents History

When you open a file, it is added to the 'recent documents' list. Stopping this process can improve the performance a little bit. And also you can maintain your privacy.

Here's how to do it.

• Go to Start -> Run -> type regedit and hit enter.
• Browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Policies\ Explorer.
• Create a DWORD value (right click->new->DWORD value) with the key NoRecentDocsHistory and set the value to 1.
• Close the Registry Editor and restart your computer.

Disable Prefetch

The 'prefetch' feature is the sixth sense of the operating system. It preloads programs that you use frequently. But it can reduce the amount of RAM available to you. So it is better to turn off this feature on low memory systems. Don't turn off this feature if you have more than 256 MB of RAM.

• Go to regedit
• Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters\EnablePrefetcher]
• Set the value to 0.
  
• Close the Registry Editor and restart your computer.
  

Enjoy!
