How to delete a printer driver?

>> Sunday, December 20, 2009

Nowadays everybody has a lot more of printers/devices installed on their desktop and most of the time we do not even remember anything about these devices anymore. The  drivers just sit there and take more of the precious space from your hard drive. Also those obsolete drivers can definitely slow down your computer quite a bit.
Here is the easiest way to do it yourself and it can help you to get rid of the old printer drivers out of your windows.

  • Click on the “Start” button and select “Devices and Printers” as in the following picture:

  • Right click on the printer that you want to discard. From the popup context menu, select “Remove device”.

That is it! Easy and safe!

Bring back "Quick Launch" toolbar in windows 7

>> Saturday, December 19, 2009

These are the few steps to bring back "Quick Launch" in Windows 7:

Right click on an empty space on the "Taskbar" and make sure "Lock the taskbar" is unlocked (not having a check mark) as it is in the folowing picture - this will allow us to move the "Quick Launch" toolbar the way we want later on.



Now right click on an empty space again on the "taskbar" and from the resulting "Menu", click "Toolbars" and then "New toolbar..." as shown in the picture below.



After click the "New toolbar" - Copy and paste the folowing location in the address bar as shown below: %appdata%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch then click "Select Folder



The Quick Launch toolbar will now appear on the "taskbar", but it is on the right side of the screen next to the System Tray. Now we can move it back to the left side where the toolbar should be.



Click on the left edge (dotted lines) of the new "Quick Launch" toolbar, hold down the left mouse button and drag it all the way to the left as far as you can.



Right click on any empty space on the "Taskbar" from the right side of "Quick Launch". To remove the text and labels, uncheck both "Show Text" and "Show Title". At this point, the Quick Launch toolbar looks like it did in Windows XP and Vista, but it’s still on the right side.



Hold and drag the left edge of the regular Windows taskbar toolbar (dotted lines to the right of the Start button) to the right of the taskbar, and over the new "Quick Launch" toolbar. By doing this, your "Quick Launch" will move to the left next to the "Start" button. When you like the size of your new tool bars, you can let go your mouse.



You can now drag and drop your favorite applications or shortcuts onto the new Quick Launch toolbar and “unpin” the default applications from the regular taskbar.




Once you finished adding your favorite programs to your "Quick Launch" toolbar, right-click a blank space on the taskbar and click “Lock the taskbar”.



Right click on an empty "Taskbar" and select "Properties". Make sure to mark "Lock the taskbar" and "use small icons" are checked. Doing this will enable small icons under the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties menu.



With the new Quick Launch toolbar in place and no applications “pinned” to the regular taskbar, my Desktop is just the old Windows XP. That's the way I like them.



Let me know what you think about this tip for Windows 7.
