How to Delete an Email Account

There may be times when you want to delete an email account. Account inactivity, too much spam or the need to consolidate multiple accounts are reasons often given for canceling. The process differs depending on your service provider and whether yours is a free or paid account, but here are suggestions for deleting the most common accounts.

Instructions

Step 1
Use your username and password to log on to your Google page if you want to delete your Gmail account. Select the "Edit" option for "My Services," and then click "Delete Gmail service" under "Delete a Service." Check the box to confirm the deletion. You'll be asked to supply a new email address to be your username for other Google account services.
Step 2
Consider what you'll be giving up if you delete your Yahoo! email account. You'll lose access to your My Yahoo! settings, Hotjobs, GeoCities and other Yahoo! services, too. If you still wish to proceed, go to the "Terminating Your Yahoo! Account" page and confirm your decision with your password. If you have any paid services associated with your Yahoo! email account, terminate them separately first so you don't continue to be billed.
Step 3
Click "Help" on any MSN Hotmail page to delete your Hotmail account. At the search prompt, enter "Close Account." Select the blue highlighted "Close your account" link that appears, and read the terms for deleting an account; depending on your service level (free or paid) you may need to speak with a customer service representative to cancel your account. Confirm "Close" once you have read and accepted the terms.

Step 4
Be prepared for a complicated process if you want to delete your AOL email service, especially if it is a paid account. You'll need to download and print out a PDF cancellation form from your account page, complete it and fax or snail-mail it to AOL. You can also try calling the AOL customer service cancellation line at 1 (888) 265-8003. In either case, you may have to follow up several times to be sure the billing has been canceled or to convert your paid AOL email to free service.
Tips & Warnings



  • Most free email account providers discourage deleting your account. Instead, they recommend letting the account stay idle except for occasional usage to prevent spammers from taking over your account address.


  • Contact your individual service provider if it is not covered here or your need more information on how to delete an email account.


  • Be aware that when you delete an email account, you will lose all information, including address books and archived mail, associated with it. Follow your provider's instructions for backing up or exporting email account information before choosing the "Delete account" option, which is irreversible.


  • Depending on your provider, it will take anywhere from 30 to 90 days for all email account data to be removed after an account is deleted.

How to over clock a CPU

Over clocking a processor means enabling it to operate above the manufacturer's specified frequency. Many Internet sites provide instructions for over clocking. Processor manufacturers and many computer experts believe the slight gain in performance (only perceivable on CPU-intensive software) isn't worth the expense or considerable risk.

Instructions

Step 1

Get whatever tools you need: screwdriver, needle-nose pliers, motherboard manual, cooling hardware, etc.

Step 2

Find out whether your motherboard can be adjusted in the BIOS setup, with jumpers or not at all.

Step 3

Find out clock-speed limitations of the motherboard.

Step 4

Run all Windows and any third-party diagnostic applications you have. Fix all system problems.

Step 5

Make a complete backup of your system, documents and applications you don't have on CD-ROM. Do not overwrite these copies.

Step 6

If you have a BIOS-adjustable motherboard, make changes according to your motherboard manual, and skip to Step 15.

Step 7

Shut down computer.

Step 8

Leave computer plugged in to surge suppressor.

Step 9

Disconnect all peripherals from computer.

Step 10

Remove cover of chassis.

Step 11

Ground yourself to computer with any professional grounding equipment you have. Otherwise, ground yourself by touching a metal part of the chassis.

Step 12

If your motherboard has adjustable jumpers, locate the jumpers that control the CPU speed.

Step 13

Use needle-nose pliers to change jumper settings. Move jumpers to positions indicated in your motherboard manual for the clock speed you want. Check the Internet for recommendations.

Step 14

Install a CPU heat sink, heat-sink compound, and a specialty cooling fan, if appropriate and possible.

Step 15

Put system back together, and reboot.

Step 16

If computer does not boot, and CPU still works, try lowering the clock speed. If that doesn't work, restore the original configuration.

Step 17

Check all functions, and run a CPU-intensive program.

What is PHP

PHP does not execute on 'client-side' (ie: the visitor's browser), but rather relies on the web host (server) to run the commands. The advantage to this is that visitors do not need any special browser and do not need to download anything to use web pages to run PHP scripts. Additionally, the scripts run extremely fast, since they are executed all on the server, with the results being served up to the visitors browser. This prevents a lot of back-and-forth interaction between client and server, making script execution very quick.



PHP also performs 'If' logic, using various variables and testing for certain conditions before deciding which part of the script to execute. For example, in a blog, the script may check to see if the visitor to a post is actually the Admin logged in...if it is, it will display an 'edit' link to allow the Admin to make changes to the post. Non-admin visitors would not see that link.

As languages go, PHP is on the simple side. The syntax is not terribly difficult, and the functions are basic. It is specifically called a 'scripting language', because it cannot run as a stand-alone application, or develop stand-alone applications. It runs 'scripts', within web pages, but it still relies on the web server and the visitor's browser to perform. However, there is enough functionality that clever web developers have been able to make PHP imitate some more robust development languages.

A common example of PHP in use is a blog, specifically a WordPress blog. Most of the pages displayed on a blog are PHP pages, which are essentially HTML pages with a PHP extension (.php instead of .html). The blog uses PHP templates which create all the static portions of the screen, such as background color, layout of the columns, etc. But within the static portions are scripts that do 'dynamic' work, like find the most recent post in the database and put it on the page.

In addition to reading data from a database, PHP can read session variables such as what type of browser the visitor is using, or what dimension their screen is, which allows a website to display pages that are customized for the visitor.

USB Ports Work


The USB is a method of connecting peripheral devices to a computer so that they can be used easily. This method is far superior to older methods, as the ease of connection is so much better with the USB port. The speed at which data can be transferred has been improved greatly as well. The USB allows for a device to be identified as soon as it is plugged in. With other methods, you had to attach a device while the computer was off. USB ports have become one of the most common methods for connecting peripheral devices.

To realize how convenient the USB port is, we need to go back to the old ways. Printers were connected to printer ports, and there was usually only one of these. This is also the same spot that you would need to plug your Zip drive into, or any gadget that required high-speed. Modems and many other devices plugged into the serial port. If you were lucky, you had two. If you only had one, chances are you needed it for the modem. Devices needing faster speed came with their own card. These had to go into a card slot inside the computer case. The number of card slots was limited, so you had to pick and choose your devices wisely. We won't even talk about having to install the software for the cards. The USB came in to help stop these headaches and seemingly grueling activities. You can now connect up to approximately 127 devices to your computer with one simple, standardized method, making customized USB devices extremely popular.

When you plug a customized USB device into a USB port, the computer operating system searches for the device in its drivers. If the driver is not found, the appropriate one must be installed. The computer will be able to recognize the device the next time that it is hooked to the computer. When the device is recognized and loaded to the correct driver, data is transferred between the computer and the devices at a very high rate of speed. Files can be transferred to and from hard drives, USB flash drives and other storage devices.

USB has been a great time and sanity saver for any computer user. People seem to be more on the go these days, and the quicker ways of the USB make it possible to travel, and to be a lot more mobile with your operating systems, programs and information.

Not only can you run many more devices with USB ports, you save a lot of space on your computer as well. There is also not as much wear and tear on your hard drive. Not everything has to be stored and formatted like the old days, and customized USB devices are adding an extra dimension of fun to data storage with numerous fantastic designs available.

As you sit and use your separate keyboard, scanner, printer and more with your portable laptop, you have your USB set up to thank. The world of computers is much more convenient due to the production and function of the USB port.

7 Tips For Computer Security and Virus Protection


Computer security is a vital issue for anyone who surfs the net on his or her PC.

How to Rename Recycle Bin


Recycle Bin is a folder on Windows desktop where the files you delete are stored until you do not permanently delete them. The benefit of the Recycle Bin folder is you can restore the files that you might have accidentally deleted. Various computer users use different name for this folder in their daily jargon. Few of the common names that have been using to refer this folder are garbage collector, garbage box, trash box, e-waste box, etc. Apart from this, some witty computer users use humorous names like Kachre-Ka-Dibba, Software-Disposal, etc. Using different slangs for referring Recycle Bin in daily jargon is quite easy and soothing; but changing its to the name you use for it in your daily jargon is not that easy. To change its name, you have to modify some Registry entries, which is the work of experts. But, after executing the following steps, you can also modify its name to a different name:

1. Click Start > Run.
2. Type Regedit in the Run window and press the OK button.
3. In Registry window expand the HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Microsoft > Windows >ShellNoRoam.
4. Click the MUICache option. A list of the available registry entries appears on the right side of Registry window.
5. Now, locate the @C:WINDOWSsystem32SHELL32.dll,-8964 key in that list.
6. After you have located the key, double-click the key. The Edit String window opens.
7. Now, replace the text "Recycle Bin" with the name that you want for it and Click the OK button.
8. Restart the computer.

However, while modifying the name of Recycle Bin, if you modify any wrong registry entry then the function related to that registry key can be affected. Therefore, be careful while playing with registry entries.

Best Internet Browser

As you have surfed the Internet over the past few years. I am sure that you have heard of the above 3 browsers.

So what is an Internet browser? It is your window to the Internet. From which, you surf web pages, watch you tube videos and do Internet banking.

Internet Explorer which is installed on your PC if you are using a windows system.

Fire-fox was officially born in 2004 which started as an alternate web browser as an substitute to Internet browser. However its history dated back to 2002.

Lastly, Chrome, being the new kid on the block, was launched by google and is slowly gaining market share.

What defines as the best Internet browser?

Web Browser Security

I believe most of us are looking for security and functionalities in our browser.

The best Internet browser in terms security, I will say both fire fox and chrome are secure web browsers.

From my own experience in using Internet browsers, previous version of Internet explorer was the one that gave me the most issues. Problems i faced includes browser hijack and script errors on websites when the web pages are working perfectly fine in fire fox and chrome.

However since the release of Internet explorer 8, problems have been reduced and the browser is more stable.

With refer to PWN2OWN, a contest which contestants hack into various operating systems through Internet browsers. The event took place at Mar 18 2009

If you are not into technical details. The results are as follows

Internet Explorer 8, Firefox and Safari are hacked into. Google Chrome is the only browser that is not hacked by hackers.

Functionalities and Customization

In terms of functions and customization, firefox is at the top spot. Even though Internet Explorer is catching up, it still pretty far away from the leader as firefox had much more customized addon as compared to IE.

Addons or plugins are programs meant to provide additional features that the original browser does not have. Some examples will be download accelerators, news report and weather watcher.

Chrome loses out on features. It serves to work as your basic Internet browser without any addons. However, this is the feature that make chrome safe.

Internet Browser Addons

Although addons give you additional features and functions, addons could be written by hackers. By installing them, you are basically welcoming hackers into your PC.

If you are just a casual web surfer who only wishes to surf the Internet, chrome is strongly recommended.

However, if you prefer a customized browser which have almost everything yet is safe, firefox is the overall a better browser for you.

I hope this article provides you with ample information about Windows-based Internet browsers. As for the best Internet browsers? You decide yourself

Useful Five Tips to Speed Boot Up XP

In this article I will show you 5 of the most useful tips when it comes to speeding up not only the boot up time but the overall performance of your Windows:
1. Free up hard drive space. If you have your Windows XP installed in a separate partition you should leave at leas 5 GB for it to run smoothly
2. Install more RAM. This type of memory is used for the tasks you are running each moment. More memory means that you will have more space for more processes to run. Less memory means that in order for one program to run smoothly another one should be extremely slow.
3. Remove any unnecessary software from the start up menu. You can find that when you type "msconfig" in the run menu. You might even be surprised how many programs are starting when you boot up Windows XP.
4. Edit the boot.ini file. There is information about the boot conditions of your Windows and by doing little tweaks in it you can make it start much faster.
5. Remove any unwanted registry entries. The Windows XP registry is the focal point of your operating system. Everything that happens is logged in the registry. Even when you uninstall a piece of software it still leaves tracks in the registry which slows down your computer and might even result in error messages.
These are 5 of the most common ways to speed boot XP and make your Windows run smoother. It is absolutely critical to do a backup before undertaking any system changes.
