First, Windows XP users, don’t dismay – this freeware pick is for Windows Vista and Windows 7. Don’t pout now. We’ve featured hundreds of things \t\tfor you in our past 321 issues. This week we’re going to take care of \t\tour Windows Vista and Windows 7 users — who haven’t had anything just for them in a long time.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Let me say this: I am not a fan of “fix all” programs, because they \t\tnever work. So let me say that this is not a fix-all program. This \t\tprogram, called “FixWin” is a program that fixes those minor annoyances \t\tthat we all know and love. Things like Internet Explorer refusing to let \t\tyou change the start page from Bing or whatever Microsoft wants you to see. Oh, you can change it all right, but \t\tthe next time you fire it up – MSN or Bing or whatever is back, in full glory. Little things that don’t really cause major problems \t\tbut are annoying and sometimes inconvenient nonetheless.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many times, we’ll feature a tip or trick and inevitably someone will \t\twrite and say they don’t see that particular dialog on their computer. \t\tThat’s annoying to them, I’m sure. Sometimes, little things go wrong \t\twith Windows that don’t cause any major problems but they can awfully \u00a0frustrating nonetheless.<\/p>\n

FixWin offers five different sections of Windows fixes: Windows \t\tExplorer, Internet & Connectivity (which also covers IE), Windows Media, \t\tSystem Tools, Additional fixes. We’re pretty sure if you’re using \t\tWindows 7 or Windows Vista, you’re going to recognize one or more of the \t\tthings in one or more of these sections – things you’d like to fix but don’t know how.<\/p>\n

Let me point out, right now, that you don’t need this program to fix \t\tthese issues and annoyances. You can make the registry changes yourself \t\tand fix any of these minor problems, but do you want to spend that much \t\ttime, googling and then messing around with Regedit? Ha! See I knew you \t\tdidn’t want to. No one likes mucking around in the registry and deleting \t\tkeys or adding DWORDs. Not even EB who loves the arcane and \t\ttangled things of the world. Nothing is more tangled than a good Windows \t\tregistry on a computer that’s been running for a year or so. Lovely \t\tstuff the registry.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I don’t mean to ramble so, but my genes won’t let me be \t\tsuccinct. You could blame my parents if you want, but that wouldn’t do \t\tany good. I need a gene transplant, and I think Walmart has genes on \t\tsale right now too. My genes are too tight. I’m gaining weight or my \t\tdryer is too hot.<\/p>\n

OK enough. Time to bring in the developers of this small but useful \t\tprogram. Take it away guys or gals:<\/p>\n

\"InfoAve<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span> “While there were several tutorials and how-to\u2019s already available on \t\tthe Internet to deal with such annoyances, FixWin as a single utility \t\twas conceptualized, to fix some of the common annoyances which may be \t\tfaced by a Windows user.<\/p>\n

Does your Recycle Bin not refresh correctly? Or maybe you find that for \t\tsome reason your right click context menu has been disabled in Internet \t\tExplorer! Or perhaps things are not fine with your Windows Media Center \t\tand you need to flush & rebuild Windows Media Center database! Maybe you \t\topted to be not-warned while deleting Sticky Notes and you now want the \t\twarning dialog box back! Or then perhaps, post a malware attack you find \t\tthat your task manage or cmd or your Registry Editor has been disabled! \t\tFixes for these and many more such common Windows problems are being \t\toffered here.<\/p>\n

The solutions to repair and fix 50 common Windows annoyances, issues & \t\tproblems have been categorized under 5 tabs, viz : Windows Explorer, \t\tInternet & Connectivity, Windows Media, System Tools & Misc Additional \t\tFixes.<\/p>\n
