Vista Style Analog Desktop Clock For Window Xp

One of the features that regular users seem to love in Windows Vista is the sidebar’s analog clock. Every time I glance at somebody’s desktop in a coffee shop they are using one. Windows XP users are not left out in the cold with the ClocX desktop clock that works similarly.

The clock really looks slick, especially if you choose a nice looking theme:

If you right-click on the clock you can change some of the common options, and also get to the options panel.

The options panel has loads of different options you can choose from… note that you can use the Pin to Desktop option in here and remove Always on top if you want the clock below all the other windows.

On the Appearance tab you can change the theme to any one of the preloaded themes.

From the clock’s right-click menu you can also access the Alarms feature, which is surprisingly full-featured.

Clicking on the New button brings you to the Alarm editor, where you can use the standard options for time, date and recurrence, but you can even set it to launch an application, sound or even a video.

I’m not a big fan of these types of clocks, but it seems like everybody I know loves them, so here you are!

Solution For LAN Connection Between Windows XP And Windows

Many of you might have the problem sharing files and folders between Windows XP and Windows 7 OS. This is not so long tutorial but you can solve it just changing some values in your windows settings. By default Windows XP sets your Workgroup as MSHOME. While windows 7 feature WORKGROUP as your default workgroup you can easily get rid of this problem.

To connect Windows 7 OS with Windows XP, change the workgroup name of either one of the OS. I recommend you changing the workgroup name of Windows XP from MSHOME to WORKGROUP.

To change Workgroup in Windows XP, right click on my computer and click on properties.

In Computer name tab, check the workgroup. By default it is MSHOME. (In my case I named itWORKGROUP).

To change it, click on Change button.

A new window will pop up. There you can define your own workgroup name.

Now both of your OSes have same workgroup name.

Now in windows 7 PC, go to control panel > Network and Sharing Center.

At the left sidebar, click on Change advanced sharing settings.

In new window, Turn on Network discovery, File and printer sharing and Public folder sharing by clicking on the respective radio button.

Under File sharing connections, Click on Files sharing for devices that use 40- or 56- bit encryption. (Windows XP may not support 128 bit encryption) .

And turn of Password protected sharing.

Do the same for Public and Home or Network connection

Now you may run Home Network wizard (Control Panel>Setup Home Network) in windows XP. Then there you’ll have easy LAN connection. Make sure that workgroup name during wizard is setup to WORKGROUPnot MSHOME

Now you can easily access files and folder and even internet and printers from network.

You can see the files in network.

How To Add Windows 7 To XP Boot Screen?

How To Add Windows 7 To XP Boot Screen?

I had windows xp and 7 on my pc but I re-installed windows xp because of some problems so now it only boots to XP but i'm sure there's a way to add the windows 7 to the boot menu without having to re-install the Windows 7 again

I found solution:

1. Insert Windows 7 DVD and boot into it

2. Go to Repair computer > Highlight your W7 installation > Click Next > Get to the command prompt and type the following:

Bootrec.exe /REBUILDBCD

If the command is successful, close the Command Prompt window.

3. NOW Click “Startup Repair” to perform Windows Startup Repair. After doing these computer will reboot automatically.

If it works, and boots into W7 while seeing the XP dual boot option, then you're good to go.

If it works, and boots into W7 but has no option for XP, you'll have to run some commands in Command Prompt, in W7, which I have written below. Replace the driver letter in the third line with that of the XP partition.

a. Get to cmd in W7. Run as admin if you need to.

b. Type the following commands and press enter, one by one.

bcdedit /create {ntldr} /d “Windows XP Professional”

bcdedit /displayorder {ntldr} /addlast

bcdedit /set {ntldr} device partition=X:

bcdedit /set {ntldr} path \ntldr

When you've run all the commands, hit F8 at boot to see if it's all fixed.
