Run command in the start menu of my previous XP is my trusted, all-around “guy”. I used it for almost everything, running an application, pinging my network connection, calling up a file or a folder and among other things. Thus, when I start using the Windows Vista I felt at loss when I can’t find my trusted, all-around “Run” guy in the start menu.
I want my Run Command back, fast! So I try to tweak some settings in the Start menu and viola! A restored Run Command on the Vista start menu. Here’s the quick tweak (I love the rhyme of the word ;- ) to have that all-purpose Run Command in your Vista:
The Run command will be added in the lower-right portion of the Start menu. For just a little trivia, Run Command doesn’t appear on Vista if you are using the default start menu. But if you are using the Classic menu run command is still a part of its start menu.

One of the major inconveniences of traveling is transferring from one point to another without a reliable ready-to-go transportation. As a traveler, waiting for a cab is quite a hassle and it causes a lot of stress. But when you are traveling via Laguardia Airport you don’t have to worry about those inconveniences because there is Laguardia Airport Shuttle that can always provide first-rate shuttle service for you.
Laguardia Airport Shuttle is a service provided by GO Airlink Shuttle, it offers affordable, dependable and safe ground transportation services throughout New York City and the surrounding suburbs. They have the share-ride airport shuttles provide transfers in each direction between LaGuardia Airport and hotels, residences and businesses between Battery Park and 125th Street. What more convenient is that they operate every day of the year, even on holidays.
Laguardia Airport Shuttle and other GO Airlink Shuttle services has new, modern vans with a separate luggage compartment, upholstered seating, air-conditioning/heating, and driver two-way radio dispatch. They provide customer service assistance in every terminal at Laguardia Airport, Newark and JFK. They both have on line reservations open 24/7, and phone reservation agents are available from 6 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. GO Airlink Shuttle lay claim to have the largest fleet of vehicles in the New York City airports, from 4 to 56 passenger motor coaches and is an official permit holder by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, authorizing us to load on the inner curb just outside of baggage claim. There passengers won’t have far to walk to reach the vehicle. Companies without this official status are not legally able to offer this service!
And best thing that I like most about Laguardia Airport Shuttle and other GO Airlink Shuttle services is that they are always reliable and on time. Go! Airlink Shuttle will get you to your hotel, or destination safe, on time and in comfort.
Don’t Click
Both the Firefox and Internet Explorer have optional phishing filters that you check for sites trying to steal your information. In Firefox Options, visit the Security tab, check the box next to “Tell me of the site I’m Visiting is suspected forgery,” and go extra distance by checking the second button for “Check by asking Google” to get up-to-date phish listings.
Use Internet Explorer as a Sheild
Internet Explorer 7 comes with a Phishing Filter built in, but you have to it on via the Tools menu, where you can also report suspected phishing sites. Internet Explorer 6 users can install the Windows Live Toolbar and the Windows live OneCare Advisor add-in to fight phishers.
Protect Skype
Information stealing is not limited to the Web and e-mail. It can happen with other programs such as Skype and VoIP services. In fact, a malware Trojan horse pretended to be a Skype to steal user name and passwords. The solution: Update your AntiVirus software.
Check Rogue Software
Software you may install may also be stealing your information – especially software that claims to help you by finding spyware. If you suspect the a program, check it against the list of know bad-guy applications at www.spywarewarrior.com.
Get Extra Filters
McAfee and Trend Micro offer third party phishing filters (SiteAdvisor and TrenProtect, respectively) to augment what browsers can find. The OpenDNS service provides extra phishing protection too. To see how it works. Visit go.pcmag.com/opendns.

1. The Greedy Start
How it works: If you’re buying, open with a price that’s way much lower than you expect to pay. That tends to immediately lower the seller’s opening price. Counter with a flinch.
2. The Flinch
How it works: Show visible shock or disbelief at the opening offer. Clutching your heart or show theatrical acts or emotion of disbelief and surprise (but don’t overdo it). Watch the party when negotiating. If they flinch, don’t get sucked in by making a higher offer. Counter it with a somewhat dry “You had something else in mind?”
3. Split the Split
How it works: If the other party offers to split the difference between his last offer and your last offer, take that midpoint as actually being his last offer, and split the difference between your offer and that.
Color Palette: METAL
A mix of silver, rust and gold would give your eyes a drama, with a little bit of a rock ‘n roll feel. Rust is the main color, while gold highlights the brow bone, and a hint of silver in the inner corners of the eyes makes them look bigger.
Color Palette: EARTH
Olive-green and gold work great together, especially on yellowish skin tone. This is a foolproof palette for women with dark skin tone. Darker shades stay right above the lash line, while the light shade is applied on the top of the darker one for highlight.
This is the favorite makeup combo of the Captivating Capiz Zinnia.
Color Palette: WATER
The secret of this look is in the combination of eyeliner colors, including silver-royal blue, violet-blue and sea-blue. Never forget to put eyeliner, especially in the top eye rim or lash line. It gives your eyes a lift. Water palette has practically the same hues, and yet they create a feel-gorgeous look.
This palette is the personal favorite of The Seer, because this reminds her of the vast blue ocean.
Color Palette: FIRE
Power hues make this look hot! Here, deep orange and eggplant are combined for more playful mode. Chinky eyes women can pull this off because their eyes make room for colors. Make sure your eye shadows are applied halfway in the lids, then finish of with flirty lashes (curler plus mascara).
The most interesting feature of Windows Vista aside from its cool graphic and interface is its security. It is the major selling point for Windows Vista, even though that some of its best security features are turned off by default. In Vista you can optimize some of the security features, do some tweaks and tricks in some seemingly invariable interfaces so as to provide convenience and greater security.
Here are some cool tweaks and trick that I found in PC Mag that that take effect before the Windows Vista OS even boot.
Login Automatically
This keeps your password intact yet skip the Welcome screen and have Vista log you in automatically each time you startup Windows, enter the User Accounts window – but not in the Control Panel
Here’s how you do it:
To access the first two advanced User Accounts Tools in Vista, open the Start menu and in the search box type controluserpassword2 and hit Enter.
Select your username from the list, turn off the Users must enter a username and password to user this computer option, and then click OK.
When prompted, enter your password twice and click OK.
Open the Power Options window in Control Panel.
Click Change plan settings under the currently selected plans.
Then, click Change advanced power setting on the next page.
Under the Additional Settings branch, set the Require a Password in wakeup option to NO and click OK.
The last step is to jump to the Personalization page in the Control Panel and then click Screen Saver, turn-off the On resume, display logon screen option and click OK.
With all these options disabled, you’ll get to your desktop more quickly and with less typing.
Hide List of User On Logon Screen
By default, Vista shows a list of all the user accounts on your PC to anyone using your computer, but you can hide it with a quick hack.
Here’s how you do it:
Open the Start menu and in the Search (Run) box type secpol.msc and press Enter to open the Local Security Policy Editor.
On the left, expand the branches to Local Policies\Security Options.
Then, on the right, double-click the Interactive Logon: Do not display last username option.
Select Enabled and click OK.
For Vista Home Basic/Premium Edition (Which do not have secpol.msc)
Open Registry Editor (type Regedit on Run Command).
Expand the branches to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system.
Double-click the DontDisplayLastUsername value in the right hand pane and type 1 into the data field.
If the value is not there, right-click on the empty area of the right pane, Select New and then DWORD (32-bit) value, and the type DontDisplayLastUsername for the name of the new value.
The changes takes effect right away, the next time you log out or boot your PC, you’ll need to type both your username and password to login. But user with administrator level can still see the list of users in User Account in Control Panel.
Important Reminder: Back-up your Registry before making any changes unto it!
Why glue doesn’t stick to the inside of the tube?
Most glues contains agents called cure promoters, which cause glue to bond, and stabilizer, which stops it from sticking. Inside the tube, the balance between cure promoters and stabilizers is like two peoples pulling on opposite ends of the rope. The surface of the tube is specially formulated to be neutral so that the two agents remain balanced. Once the glue is out of the tube, the stabilizers are overcome by moisture in the air and by contact with the surface you to stick, so the glue hardens and bonds.
Why horseshoes are considered lucky?
The belief comes from a sixteenth-century idea that iron horseshoes were protection against witches and evil. John Aubrey, an Antiquarian writer wrote in his 1696 book Miscellanies that the reasoning was that Mars (the Roman god of war and associated with metal iron) was the enemy of Saturn (ruler of the witches).
Another interpretation of the superstition was that a horseshoe held in its side makes a “C” which stands for Christ.
Why are there jokers in packs of cards?
Jokers began life in a game called “Euchre” or “Joker” that became popular in America in the 1860’s and still played worldwide. Euchre features two high-value cards, “bowers,” which are represented by two jacks of the same color. They are beaten by the “best bower” or “joker”.
The new card posed a problem for manufacturers: the old 52-card packs could be printed on a single sheet of card in even rows and columns, but 53-cards packs couldn’t. To combat this issue many manufacturer printed a second joker. The tradition of having two jokers in each pack continues to this day.
In our stressed-out world, the fight and flight response that kept our ancestors alive has turned into “stew and chew”. Stress is normal. It is our adaptive reaction to threat.

To help you combat stress here are some few tips in using our belly together with some breathing exercise to relieve your stress.
