Synchronize HTC in Vista

If you are having problems synchronizing your HTC (WM6) phone with Vista using Activesync, here is a simple solution for you.

Activesync does not work with Vista and WMDC does not seem to help you. Well you can check the CD that came with your HTC phone (my reference cell is HTC Touch GSM). Install the WMDC drivers from the WMDC folder on the CD. After that restart your system.

Now plugin your HTC and follow the on screen instructions. It is very easy to setup synchronization this day rather than using 3rd party softwares.

Defragment Vista faster

Power Defragmenter 2.0.125



The never-ending two-step defragmenting process of Vista can soon become a thing of the past. With certain tools, it is possible to cut defragmentation time of 25 GBs of files with Vista Ultimate from 82 minutes to 6 minutes!!! That is defragmenting 10X faster than the built-in Vista defragmenter!

Will I be switching over to IE 8 Beta 1 - Definitely NO. With Firefox 3 Beta 3 around and not much incentive to switch over to IE 8 Beta 1, I dont see myself using it in near future atleast.
