How to Use a USB flash drive as extra RAM in Windows 7

Use a USB flash drive as extra RAM in Windows 7

You can use a spare USB drive as extra RAM in Windows 7.

The ReadyBoost feature was introduced to Windows with the release of Vista, and it has been retained in the latest version of Microsoft’s operating system, with some minor improvements. It enables you to use a plugged in USB stick as additional RAM memory that can be utilised by your PC – while not as fast as the actual RAM sticks installed inside your computer case, these flash drives operate much faster than the hard disk, which is where Windows usually stores extra data once the RAM has filled up.

When you plug in a USB drive into your PC you’ll be asked if you want to activate ReadyBoost. You can find the same setting by right-clicking on the drive in Windows Explorer, choosing Properties and opening up the ReadyBoost tab from the dialog that appears. If the device matches the compatible specifications (including an access time of 1ms or less) then Windows will begin to use it for temporary data storage.

The highest performance gains will be seen on systems where there isn’t a great deal of on-board RAM installed to begin with. Instead of repeatedly accessing the hard drive to cache data as it works, Windows will be able to use the speedier USB stick instead. In Windows 7, you can use up to 8 separate devices to provide a total of 256GB additional memory for your PC system.

How do I restore the Recycle Bin to the Desktop in Windows XP?

For many users, the Recycle Bin typically found on the Microsoft Windows Desktop is an important facet of the graphical-user interface and the overall operating system experience. However, under certain conditions, which we will not go into here, the Recycle Bin has been known to disappear from the Windows Desktop. This quirky behavior is no big deal for Windows Vista and Windows 7 users because the fix is just a few clicks away under Desktop Properties.

However, for Windows XP users there is no simple way to add back the Recycle Bin to the Desktop. They have to resort to a Windows Registry file edit. In this How Do I blog post, you will find out what to edit to restore the Recycle Bin icon to the Windows Desktop.

Note: The Windows Registry is a vital component of the operating system. A corrupted Windows Registry could result in a PC that will not boot to Windows. Back up the Windows Registry before you do any edits.

Start regedit

To start the Registry Editor in Windows XP, type regedit into the Run dialog box, as shown in Figure A.

Figure A

Type regedit in the Run box.

Click OK and you’ll open the Registry Editor, as shown in Figure B.

Figure B

Open the Registry Editor.

Inside the Registry Editor you will navigate to this entry, as shown in Figure C:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace

Figure C

Navigate to this entry.

Right-click on the NameSpace registry key, as shown in Figure D,  and then navigate to New | Key.

Figure D

Right-click to create a new key.

Type the following string in the new key (copy and paste it would be your best bet):

645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E

You should now have a new registry key, like the one shown in Figure E.

Figure E

The new key is created.

In the right-hand pane, double-click the Default entry to reveal a dialog box like the one shown inFigure F.

Figure F

This is the default value.

Change the text in the Value Data box to read Recycle Bin and click OK. You should now have a key with an entry similar to the one shown in Figure G.

Figure G

A new key and default entry have been created.

Close the editor and, for the sake of making sure your registry edits were successful, reboot your PC to restart the operating system. When the Windows Desktop reloads, you should have an active Recycle Bin.

How to Change the Logon Screen in Windows 7

By Vishal Choudhary

Screensavers, desktop wallpapers or font type and sizes, visual customization at the OS level is usually important to all kinds of users. Recognizing this, Microsoft has made it easier than ever to apply and adjust individual themes with Windows 7. 

Today I am going to show you how to customize the Windows 7 logon screen. There are various methods to accomplish this, with and without third-party software. I understand many people might not want to rely on a third-party application, while others would appreciate a quicker, safer route. First up is the more hands-on approach, and then the utility.

Hands-on approach

This method will require you to modify the registry, and if that puts a knot in your stomach, you should move on to the next section.

Step 1: Open the Windows Start menu and enter regedit into the search bar.

Step 2: Right click on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and select Find.

Step 3: Search for OEMBackground, which should be in Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\Background. If the key does not exist, add a new DWORD value with the name OEMBackground.

Step 4: Double click on the entry OEMBackground, and change the value from 0 to 1.

Step 5: Open Windows Explorer and go to the following path: %windir%\system32\oobe.

Step 6: Create a new folder named info, and open it.

Step 7: Create a new folder within info named backgrounds.

Step 8: Rename your desired wallpaper as backgroundDefault.jpg and place it inside the folder backgrounds (images must be less than 245KB in size).

That should do the trick, now just lock your PC, log off or reboot and enjoy.

Third-party software

If you are uncomfortable with manually tinkering with the registry -- or simply have better things to be doing with your time -- we understand. Various third-party applications can change Windows 7's default logon wallpaper, but my personal favorite is this one, click here to download.

The software is ridiculously easy to use, doesn't require installation, and it even has built-in tools to automatically resize and recompress your images while leaving the original file untouched. The Logon Changer also lets you quickly change your logon wallpaper back to the Windows 7 default.

Download the Program and then unzip the executable. Run the program and it should present you with a preview of your logon screen along with a few self-explanatory options: "Change Logon Screen" lets you browse to a new image, "Test" will bring up your logon screen, "Revert to Default Logon Screen" reapplies Windows 7's original wallpaper.

That's it.....
