Removing the superfluous "GO" button in Mozilla Firefox

Besides the address bar, there is an additional button to load the entered address, rather than hitting "GO" button by pressing Enter key in the Keyboard is faster to call the webpage, and to hide the button to see the longer URL's more clearly?


Here is the Tip :

The "GO" button can be hidden with the Firefox Configuration. To do this, enter "about:config" without quotes in the addressbar and press "Enter" and there you can see a list, and in that search for "browser.urlbar.hideGoButton" setting, and Double click on it to change the logical value to "true".

Deactivating The Pre-Loading Of Websites In Mozilla Fixefox.

When Firefox identifies a website, it automatically starts Pre-loading all the links contained in it in the background. Since you seldom surf further in the sites, you prefer to remove this system brake and do without this 'Service'?

Here is the trick :

Change a function in the advanced configuration before deactivating the Pre-fetching function. Type "about:config" without quotes in the address bar and press Enter. Look for the "Network.prefetch-next" entry in the list. Then right click on it and select the context command "Switch". Check Whether the Boolean Value is set to "false". In future, your system will download the websites only when you click on a link.

The Anticipatory downloading of linked sites is known as Pre-fetching. This function is supposed to speed up the downloading of a site when you click on a link. However, since you would hardly visit all the links in a site, this function is generally of no use. To top it, Pre-fetching brings load on the bandwidth, contributes to high data quantities and costs in the volume tariff, causing the browser cache to fill quickly and demand high storage requirements in system RAM. These disadvantages outdo the advantage-the speedy downloading of a site, it is therefore which more advisable to deactivate this function.

Speeding up Acrobat Reader


PDF files take time to open because Adobe Acrobat reader loads all the plug-ins at the startup. However, you can disable the plug-ins from loading in order to decrease the time required for Acrobat reader to start. For this purpose, you can use a utility called Adobe Reader Speed-Up.

On running Adobe Reader Speed-up for the first time, you will be presented with a dialog box with an option saying "Speed Up". Check the radio button next to it and proceed.

In the next dialog box, set the speed-up mode as "Speedup-Fast", which is the recommended setting and click on "Start". Click on "Finish" button after the settings are applied.

Now PDF files will open as quickly as Word Documents, not taking more than a few seconds.

Mastering Problems in Switching over to Windows Vista


Users report problem while transferring iTunes to Vista. You must therefore read this tip before you put your music collection at stake.

The iTunes version 7 can cause compatibility problems during a system upgrade from Windows 2000 or XP to Vista. Apple thus recommends that one should wait with the upgrade till an updated iTunes is available. If you want to switch before that, you should follow the steps to prevent potential problems:

Deactivate Accounts : First and foremost, deactivate your accounts at iTunes store. For this, open 'Store/Deactivate account on this computer', enter your 'Apple-ID' as well as the password and confirm with 'OK'.

Set The iPod Mode : Now, configure the iPod as an external hard disk. Connect the device to the PC and click on the left on 'iPod' in iTunes. Activate the 'Overview' tab and the 'Activate use as volume' option. Activate the 'Manage music manually' option to prevent automatic synchronization. Now uninstall iTunes.

Install Upgrade : You can now play Windows Vista and iTunes. The latest version is available at www.apple.com/itunes/download/. Register the system with "Store/Activate Computer' in the program at the iTunes Store.

Take note of the special features : Do not use the "Safely remove hardware" from the system tray to take the iPod off the list-this can turn the database. Instead, use the command "Control/Eject iPod" to remove the hardware safely.

Remove Duplicate Audio Tracks

If you have so many songs, which have duplicate and even triplicate entries stored in different folders. To make matters worse, the same song is saved under different names, and if you want the duplicates and the triplicates to be remove from your hard disk. At the same time you don't want any loss of your collection. I think this article will help you.

For the above problem, use the software "No Clone". You can customize your search by selecting the folder, partition or drive you wish to. It masks Windows OS files while searching. After the search is complete, it identifies zero-size files, same-name files, similar content files, and file portions. The identification of similar content files takes care of songs saved under different names. Duplicate file groups and colorized and can be either deleted or sent to a different folder. This software can be used for sorting any type of file. It's a shareware and can be downloaded from
