Quick Tips

Quick Folder Options

We've talked about hidden files before, right? Browse to the Control Panel, click folder options, blah, blah, blah. Practically drilled into our head by this point eh? Well, let's put the Windows Vista Search Bar to work then, shall we?

If you're switching back and forth between showing hidden files and re-hiding them, then taking a step out of the process should be welcome. So, instead of slogging through menus to get to the Folder Options, why not just type in “folder” in the Search Bar?

image

The very top selection that pops up will be “Folder Options”.

Why go through the hassle when you can be there now?

This is SOOOOO exciting! How would you like to make that computer of yours REALLY fly? Windows XP, Vista - heck even Windows 7 Is gonna SMOKE after you install this baby!!

Hey -  We're talking up 300% faster here - talk about crankin! Oh, and how 'bout making it super secure? Hey, no one wants to get hacked! What about faster start ups - like a blazin' 8X faster! WOW!!! Plus, what if you could get rid of a TON of excess junk and free up megs - or even GIGS - of hard drive space? Hey, while you're at it, how about some amazing customizations too?

Well, I have some incredible news! It's all here (and soooo much more) in the latest and greatest version of System Mechanic!! You just GOTTA try this! If you only get ONE program this year, make sure it's this baby! Wow - talk about giving new life to a sluggish computer! This thing is gonna make your computer absolutely FLY! Heck, your computer might be BETTER THAN NEW once System Mechanic is done with it!!

Oh, and you'll absolutely, positivity LOVE the fact that this is SUPER-EASY to use! You don't have to have a degree in computer science (or anything for that matter) to use it! EVERYTHING this does can be done in a fully automatic mode! Of course, this lets you take full control if you like - so no matter what your skill level - novice or advanced, this thing just ROCKS!!

Just to give you an example, we tested this on a friend's computer (cuz I've been running System Mechanic on mine forever) and WOW - what an amazing difference! The real surprise is that this guy is really good with computers - we were both shocked at what this found - and how easy it was to fix! Here's how it went:

First we install the software and launch the program - it immediately upgrades to the most current version - nice! Next we check out the Dashboard and find all kinds of trouble:

Oh, but not to worry - you just click the Repair button and BAM! - it's fixed right now! Oh, and you're not tied down to the repairs either - you can skip 'em or select JUST the items you want to fix! How cool is that? Truth be told, we looked over every suggestion and in EVERY case the problems it found and recommend to fix were right on the money! So, we've decided when System Mechanic finds a problem, just press the button and let it do the repair!

With just a single push of the "Repair All" button, we quickly fixed 26 security problems, 2020 registry problems, got rid of 5 excess startup programs, optimized the internet connection and recovered a whoppin' 606MB of hard drive space - that's nearly a whole CD's worth of wasted space put back to use! All by pressing a SINGLE button!! WOW - now THAT'S impressive!!

I can report that after running this program my friend reports that his computer is WAAAYYYY better now! He thought it was tweaked out, but this took it to the next level! Not only is it LOTS faster - both online and regular use, but it's more stable too! In fact, System Mechanic got rid of a random error message that kept popping up that we, frankly, had no clue what the cause was!

Yeah - this is a KILLER program!!

OK, this can enhance and upgrade your computer's performance in literally hundreds of ways, so let's break it down.

Let's Talk Speed, The Blistering Mind-Blowin' Kind!

If you want a FAST computer - and want it NOW - this is your new best friend!!

First off, you'll really LOVE how this dives in and digs deep for all kind of excess startup programs - talk about a super speed-up!! Excess startup programs are the #1 way to slow down your computer - and this trims the fat like a hard-core drill sergeant for your PC!!

Plus - if YOU want to take control, you can! It will show you EXACTLY what programs start up every time you boot, what they do, and if you really need 'em - or just go automatic - either way, you're gonna see a HUGE difference in speed!

(Screen shot shows the options screen, but YOU can do it in a completely automatic mode with the push of a button!)

Have you ever been using your computer and had it keep getting slower and slower? 

Well, you were probably just about out of memory! See, sometimes programs don't "release" the memory they use back to the system once they are done with it, or the memory becomes "fragmented" and slow. What to do? Normally you'd have to reboot - but with this baby you can run the amazing Memory Mechanic utility and in about 8 seconds you recover all the wasted memory - and see an INSTANT boost in speed!

Need even more quick speed? Try the EnergyBooster! This ingenious little utility shuts down any and all unnecessary programs that are running in the background - it's like a super-charged caffeine boost for your computer!

Internet going a little slow? Charge it up with the NetBooster! This will examine your internet connection and optimize it for the best possible speed! You can see amazing speed gains of 100%, 200%, even 300%!! Talk about going down the information superhighway in a Ferrari!!! WOW!

PLUS this has ALL kinds of tools to optimize your registry and hard drive for the best possible performance and speed! Like an adrenalin shot for your PC!

Bottom Line - RUN this bad boy on your computer and you WILL see an increase in speed - probably a dramatic one!!! If you want your computer to be like it was back when it was new (or maybe even better) then THIS is the software that'll get you there!!


Let's Talk Repairs

No one like to talk about it, but sometimes bad things happen to good PCs, ya know?

  • Have a weird error message? 
  • Strange lockups? 
  • Unbootable computer? 
  • Random crashes? 

Well, pretty much any kind of system failure you can come up with, THIS can fix automatically!

The really cool thing about this program is you can run an absolutely outstanding All-In-One Repair Tool that will automatically fix, well, everything that's wrong with your PC - or you can choose to use individual tools!

For example, want to check, tune-up and / or repair the registry? Easy - just run the Registry Tuner - in a matter of minutes (or even seconds) your registry will be optimized for the best speed and performance!

Worried their might be something going on with your hard drive? Run the Drive Medic utility! This scans your hard drive and fixes any problems it discovers - all automatically! All YOU need to know is how to click a button! Amazing!

Have an unbootable PC? This can make a bootable CD to and fix it! Heck, the System Mechanic CD is bootable and can be used to start a PC that refuses to boot! Hey, it happens to everyone eventually, but the difference is YOU'LL be able to recover!

And that's just a FRACTION of what this can do - and fix!!

Bottom Line - Next time your PC needs help, THIS will save it!

Let's Talk Cleanin' Up The Clutter

Hey, we all get extra junk on our PCs, but WOW - that stuff can turn into Gigs and Gigs of junk in a hurry! Temp files, old files, duplicate files, unused files - you name it, it's probably cluttering up your PC right now!

Well, if you want that space back, it's a quick press of a button away! Just run the PC Cleanup utility! In a matter of MINUTES you'll recover megs - even GIGs - of hard drive space! Super easy too - just run the program, go with the defaults (or customize), sit back and watch it work! 

Bottom Line - Why let hard drive space go to waste? This recovers GOBS of it in no time!

Let's Talk Privacy & Protection

OK, we all know it's dangerous out there. Hackers are always looking for ways to get into your computer, and even a firewall may not save you if you have an open venerability. So, once again, System Mechanic to the rescue!

First off, it has a ONE BUTTON option for finding and fixing security holes! Yeah - One little button! Just press and it will find - and fix - any problems with your security! I've never, ever, seen an easier way! Just look at it go!

Oh, and just wait till you see the jaw-droppin' System Guard utility! It does cool things like alerting you when a program tries to add itself to your startup, kills off dangerous programs trying to run in the background, even protects your browser from unauthorized software trying to add itself (ever wonder how that new toolbar just "appeared" one day?) A must have!!

Plus, it protects all your private data too! It has this absolutely amazing utility called Privacy Cleaner that completely erases all your browsing, web, and search history. It can also eliminate unwanted cookies, chat transcripts and more! One button easy, of course!!

Finally, if you have sensitive files on your computer (and who doesn't nowadays?), you can securely delete them with the bullet-proof Incinerator! This amazing program permanently deletes files so that no one - not even a bunch of scientists in white lab coats - can recover 'em!

Bottom Line - If you want to keep your computer - and your info - safe and secure, this is the best software for the job!

Let's Talk Customization

Finally, what utility program would be complete without some ways to do some really amazing - dare I say even jaw-dropping - customizations? Oh, and System Mechanic knocked it out of the park this time!

Once you install it, RUN to the Customize Advanced Windows Settings area and get ready to get FLOORED! 

We're talking over 100 "secret" Windows customizations here!Most of these are next to impossible for the average person to find, let alone configure, but this utility makes it easy! It even explains what every option will do in easy to understand language!

For example, want your start menu to react faster or slower? You can do it! Want your programs menu to scroll instead of expand? Yup, can do! Want arrows on your shortcuts? Or not? Can do! Want that annoying .net / passport reminder balloon to never EVER show up again in your system tray? Yup, it's easy to do! Want to hide / show items in the Control Panel? Adjust it all! Want to configure your log-in access when windows starts - it's easy! Want to customize the right-click menu? Can do!

And frankly, that's only about 7% of what this can do! WOW!

Bottom Line - I seriously don't think there's anything this can't optimize or customize on a windows computer!

Let's Talk Awards!

OK, it can be said that since I'm selling it, I could be a bit biased. So, hey, don't take my word for it. Here's just a small sampling of the awards this thing has won, along with some testimonials from real users!

Talk About Award Winning!

My laptop was in a mess! It was slow to the point of stagnation at times but a colleague recommended your software and the result was near-magical! Speeds have improved dramatically and it has given me a great feeling of confidence. Michael H.

After I ran System Mechanic the first time, I thought I had a new machine! John N

I love your product. It's not only a great product, but it’s fun to use. Sometimes I play with the different categories and I just enjoy myself....Norton & McAfee could learn a thing or two or three or four from you...lol....Have a great new year. Ray H

System Mechanic saved me from having to purchase a whole new computer. Well worth the investment! Arthur H.

System Mechanic is a great addition to my computer. I feel much more in control of what's going on inside it. The Internet optimizer worked great, a 1MB would take 22 seconds to download, now it takes just 7 seconds!! That is a 300% increase in internet speed. I was able to get at and get rid of a lot of unnecessary garbage that was choking up my computer. This product rates 5 out of 5 in my books! John T.

Without a doubt, [System Mechanic is] the complete difference between a well working machine and being the typical frustrated computer user…From novice to expert, this product rocks and I would recommend it to anyone who uses a computer for whatever reason. Chris H.

This product is much better than Norton Utilities and SystemWorks which I had been using since 1995. Keep up the good work!! Vern H

In my twenty years of personal computing, System Mechanic is one of the best -- if not THE best -- software I have ever installed on a PC. I recommend it without hesitation to all my friends and presentation audiences. Keep up the great work. Bob S.

Oh, and did I mention over 22 MILLION people use this? But hey, they didn't get the deal you're about to!

File Associations in Vista

Q:
How do I set my file type associations in Windows Vista? It was so easy in XP!

A:
This is a great question with a nice, easy answer! A lot of people lament the alternate routes they need to take to accomplish something that was once so easy in Windows XP. The biggest one I get has to do with file type associations. So, without any hesitation, here we go!

Go to Start>Control Panel>Default Programs>Associate a file type or protocol with a program

image

After a brief wait for the extension list to load you'll see this screen:

image

Just select a file type you'd like to associate and click "Change Program" at the top.

image

From here, all you have to do is choose a program to use when opening a file. If that desired program is not in the list, you can always browse to its location.

Just in case, here's the Windows XP instructions.

MS Office
Rulers in Outlook 2007

When you're using MS Outlook 2007 to write a message that's more than just a bunch of text - maybe something more like a flyer announcement instead of a message - do you find yourself missing the ruler feature of Word or PowerPoint to help with the layout?

Never fear - that much desired ruler is closer than you think.

When you're working on the message take a quick look at the right side of the message window.

image

See it?

Yep - it's a little View Ruler button.

One click and the ruler is visible, another click and it's all put away.

Oh - and almost as a "bonus" - you'll find that same handy little button in Word 2007 as well.

Now that's what I call an easy way to make things measure up.

You know, we've offered some pretty amazing software in the past, but just wait till you see what we have for you today!! When it comes to getting the most bang-for-the-buck, our newest title, Office Suite 2008 blows everything else away! I can't tell ya how absolutely impressed I am with this amazing software! It's a phenomenal MS Office alternative that has EVERY feature you'd ever want or need in an office suite at a price that's almost a give-away!!! PLUS - this is 100% MS Office compatible!

First off, I can tell you that MS Office no longer has a place on my computer - or any new computers that we get for the office! Office Suite 2008 is not just an alternative to MS Office - in my opinion,
it's actually a WAAAAYY BETTER alternative! It's easier to use, faster, and just way more user-friendly! Seriously - just wait till you spend your first hour or so with it - you'll wonder why you haven't been using it all along! You won't believe how impressive this software is!

OfficeSuite 2008

In fact, most of the articles you see here in the newsletter were written either with one version or another of this software! Why shell out up to $800 for MS Office when these does everything it does - and then some - for a FRACTION of the price? Heck, I just installed this on my new laptop for an upcoming trip! I can tell you this - once you give this a try, you won't be going back to MS Office and their insane prices - EVER!

What do you get? 
Well, EVERYTHING! This includes an absolutely fantastic word processor, a spreadsheet program on steroids (it just stomps Excel), presentation software that makes PowerPoint all but obsolete, an incredible drawing program (think easy to use TurboCad), an advanced calculating program, and even a souped-up, high-end database! PLUS it can even create PDFs with the push of a button from most applications! WOW! To get even close to that with MS office you'd be looking at a small fortune!

Ok, so how close is this to MS Office, really? 

Well, I was editing a document with a friend and for first half-hour
he thought we were using MS Office. Finally he looked at it a little closer and said, "Hey - what program is this?" I told him about it - and how inexpensive it was - and he was blown away! He couldn't believe that you could get a program like this for less than $10!! In fact, at first he thought I was kidding around. Well, he's got a few on order for himself now! Why shell out $400 - $800 for MS Office when you can get this for a small fraction of the cost? Check it out:

 



The 2 main components are a top notch Word Processor and a Spreadsheet Program. Both look a LOT like MS Word and MS Excel - in fact, if you just open it up and ignore the title bar, you'd swear that you were using an improved version of MS Office! It's THAT good!! Oh, and like I said, this also comes with a phenomenal presentation program, drawing program, database and MORE! Let's look at the main two everyone use though - I just want to give you an idea why this program is sooo great!

The Word Processor is just fantastic! I mean,
it really has everything - a spell checker, grammar checker, thesaurus, auto text, tables, password protection, mail merge, easy font selection, auto numbering, etc. Plus, everything is very intuitive - it just seems like things are where you expect them to be and work the way you'd expect them to work. It's like the person who wrote the software actually uses the software! Here's just a taste of what you can create with the word processor:

OfficeSuite 2008

And the mail merge is incredible too!

OfficeSuite 2008

 It also has a fantastic built-in HTML editor for web pages that works seamlessly with the word processor. It makes it mind-blowingly simple to create fantastic webpages in a VERY short amount of time! Like this:

OfficeSuite 2008

Oh PLUS ~ You can turn your document into a PDF file with the click of one button ~ this is a terrific feature!!

Oh, and wait till you see the Spreadsheet Program! It looks and functions just like MS Excel! Even the menus are virtually identical - everything you're used to doing in Excel can be done just as quickly here. TONS of built-in formulas, formatting, and functions at your fingertips. Create charts with just a few mouse clicks, filter data easily, send spreadsheets via e-mail, you name it, this can do it! You'll never need Excel again (or want to use it for that matter)!!



 

The really cool thing is that all of this is 100% MS Office Compatible. It not only opens MS Office files (.doc, .xls) but can also save in that format! That way, you don't need to have MS Office to create or save MS Office documents. Cool huh?

I tell ya what - I could go on and on about this one -
it's really one of the most - if not the most - powerful office suites I've ever had the privilege of using! I'm really excited about having it on my computer and I can't recommend this highly enough! If you need office software, you just gotta give this a try!

Oh, your cost? Glad you asked! 
Just $9.97 and US shipping is FREE! It's almost a give-away for that kind of money - especially when you think that MS Office is $400-$800!! Try it, you'll thank me later :-)

PS - These always FLY off our shelves, and this newest version is the best ever! Make sure you run on over to the site and

Tip of the Day
Restoring Previously Opened Folders

Are there folders you open up habitually every time you start up your computer? If so, did you know that you can set up your computer to open those folders automatically each time you boot up? Windows Vista users need only apply for this one!

Here's what you need to do to make it happen:

1.) First, open Windows Explorer or browse to any folder.

2.) Next, select "Organize" from the toolbar at the top of the window.

3.) Click on Folder and Search Options and the following window will open up on your screen:

4.) Now, click on the View tab.

5.) Check the option that says “Restore previous folder windows on log on."

6.) Click Apply and then OK.

Now, when you log off, restart or shut down Vista, it will automatically open the previously opened folders on the next boot. This is a great way to get a head start on what you were working on when you last left your system! Go forth and give it a shot!

Today's Feature
Paint.net

From time to time, I have found myself needing a program for making graphics and pictures. I used to try and use the Paint program that comes with Windows, but I almost always find it to be lacking in features. Because of that, I have been looking for a paint program that has a lot more options and features. After looking for awhile, I came across a free program called Paint.NET. And let me tell you, this program has everything I could ever want! It's easy to use, it's easy to install and did I mention it's free? Let's check it out!

First, just take a look for yourself. This is what the Microsoft Paint program looks like:

Kind of boring, huh?!

Well, this is what Paint.NET looks like:

That's much better! Also, Paint.NET has support for layers, unlimited undos, special effects and a wide variety of useful and powerful tools. An active and growing online community provides friendly help, tutorials and plug-ins as well. You just can't beat it!

You can download Paint.NET for yourself right here. Enjoy!

These are our BEST SELLING and MOST POPULAR wireless LAN adapters!!! Be sure to get yours, while they're still available!!

Don't Let Its Size Fool You!!!

You've Never Seen A Wireless Network Adapter This Small...

Or This Fast!!!

We're Talking 6X Faster Than Your Old Wireless Internet!!

The Most Secure Wireless Ever Too!!



WOW! - The Future Of Wireless Network Adapters!

Works With ANY Wireless Network Too!

I can't believe this incredible 802.11n Wireless Adapter that I've just found!! Not only is this the fastest and most secure wireless network adapter on the planet, but it's the smallest too!! Don't let it's small size fool you though...this baby is packed with speed and power!!

First off - you're going to absolutely love how small this little guy is!! After it's plugged into your USB port, it sticks out just a 1/2 inch, instead of up to 3 or more inches like a typical LAN Adapter. So, how does that help you?? Good question!! If you use a laptop - you don't have to worry about a huge adapter hanging out the side. Plus...this little guy won't cover up other USB ports either...since its design is super narrow!! You also don't have to worry about accidently disconnecting it - AND - it won't get in the way if you're plugging in other devices to your USB ports.

OR...

Do you use a desktop PC?? You're going to love this too!! You can conviently place this LAN adapter in a USB port that is behind your computer and it can still set close to the wall or the desk. This will help you to free up a USB port on the front of your computer for flash drives, card readers, or any other device. You can even keep it in a front USB port if you want to- and you won't have to worry about accidently unplugging it, since it's so tiny!!!

Oh, but it just keeps getting better...

So, what's the difference between this and the older b/g adapters? Why is 802.11n sooooo incredibly cool? 

Speed baby. Speed. (OK, and security too)

In the bad old days (like a few months ago), if you had an 802.11g adapter, you'd be stuck cruising along at 54Mbps.

This bad boy does an amazing 300Mbps!  In case you don't know... Mbps means Mega Bits Per Second! That means this adapter is nearly 6x faster!

Bottom line - if you get on an "n" network, you're gonna go jaw-droppingly FAST with this thing! Plus, it's completely compatible with all the older 802.11 b/g networks so no matter what, you'll be covered.

Oh, and consider this - the "n" version of wireless networking is getting more and more popular.
If you end up someplace in the next 6 months that only has an 802.11n network, and the best you have is a b/g adapter - you ain't getting on my friend! Make sure you upgrade today - more speed and more compatibility! You don't want to have to fork out $100 for an adapter because you need one in an emergency!

Plus it's really secure - it complies with all the latest alphabet soup standards and is backward compatible with the old ones - 64/128 Bit WEP, WPA, WPA2 - you're covered!

How's it work? 
Just pop it into your USB port (1.x or 2.0) and install the driver! That's it - you can be up and running in MINUTES!

Receives power from the USB port - no additional power plug or cable required
Compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 hardware
Backwards compatible with 802.11b/g equipment
Delivers robust 802.11n wireless networking
Supports data rates of up to 300 Mbps! WOW!!
Supports 64/128-bit WEP, WPA, WPA2 wireless data encryption

If you want the best wireless networking money can buy - this is it! Connect it to an "n" network and be prepared to be floored! You'll be amazed at just how fast a wireless network can be! 

Your price for this compact, super fast little guy? We're talking just $22.97 and US Shipping is FREE! You can't go wrong - works with everything and REALLY works fast on an 802.11n network (the network everyone will probably be running within a year) - AND it's super compact, which makes it even better! Check it out!
