Many computers, especially those running a Windows® operating system,
are at risk of contracting computer viruses. While some viruses are
merely annoying, others can cause severe damage to your computer and may
corrupt data beyond repair. To protect your computer from viruses,
there are a few simple steps that can be taken. You must consider it a
full time job; your computer is never truly safe unless it is
disconnected from the Internet and you never insert computer disks or
software from unreliable sources.

An Illustrated History of Computers Part 1
The first computers were people! That is, electronic computers
(and the earlier mechanical computers) were given this name because they
performed the work that had previously been assigned to people.
"Computer" was originally a job title: it was used to describe
those human beings (predominantly women) whose job it was to perform the
repetitive calculations required to
compute such things as navigational tables, tide charts, and planetary
positions for astronomical almanacs. Imagine you had a job where hour after
hour, day after day, you were to do nothing but compute multiplications.
Boredom would quickly set in, leading to carelessness, leading to mistakes. And
even on your best days you wouldn't be producing answers very fast. Therefore,
inventors have been searching for hundreds of years for a way to mechanize
(that is, find a mechanism that can perform) this task.

How to create a new user account in Windows 7 and Windows Vista
Windows 7 and Windows Vista allows
you to have multiple users sharing the same computer under their own
individual accounts. This allows each individual user to have their own
location on the computer where they can store their personal documents,
pictures, videos, saved games, and other personal data. This also allows
the owner of the computer to assign certain accounts the ability to
perform administrative tasks like installing software, while limiting
other user's abilities.
This tutorial will walk you through creating a new account in Windows 7 and Windows Vista.

How can I access shared folders using Virtual Box?
I installed Windows XP on a virtual hard disk using Virtual Box in
Windows 7. I placed Dev C++ in the shared folders option in Virtual Box,
but how can I access that in Windows XP? I mean where can I find that
(DEV-CPP) in Windows XP?
Mr.Jeffery Fabish
Mr.Jeffery Fabish
Let me see if I understand you. Your guest is Windows XP and
your host is Windows 7. You installed Dev-CPP on the host (Windows 7)
and want to access your projects (developed in dev-cpp) on the guest OS
(Windows XP)?
If you’ve already added the share from the Host to the directory of your projects, simply find the share in the guest OS. Make sure you’ve set the share to automount.

What Can I install Windows XP in Windows 7 using Virtual Box
I want to install Windows XP in Windows 7 using Virtual Box. How do I do this? Is there anything else I need to be aware of?
Mr.Bruce Epper
When you create the VM, you will get better performance using a fixed size virtual disk, so make it large enough to handle all of the apps you will be installing inside of the VM. You should also boost the amount of memory from the suggested default. Other than those items, it is the same process as installing on bare metal. If you are doing this to test software, you should create a base VM with all appropriate updates and just clone that when you need a new VM for testing.How Can install Windows XP on a Windows 7 PC using dual boot?
I’m afraid you will have to reformat your entire Hard Drive beforehand.
Windows 7 uses the GUID Partition Table by default wherein Windows XP only supports Master Boot Record. Therefor when you try to install Windows XP it can’t find a partition to install to.
If you decide to reformat I strongly suggest to install Windows XP first and then Windows 7 afterwards. Windows 7 supports dual boot out of the box and will add both systems to the boot menu wherein Windows XP would replace the boot loader [which means you would have to manually reinstall it and add both boot options].

How can I attach a photo to an mp3 song in Windows 7?
Please clarify on what you would like to do, as you can add a cover art
photo to the mp3 file in the tag, or turn it into a slideshow with
music. I am assuming that you are talking about the album art cover in
the mp3 tag, and you would use either an mp3 tag software like suggested
or use Media Monkey media player, J. River Media Jukebox, or other
media players that support media tagging to change or add a cover art
photo. Be careful when doing this since when you change or add a cover
art photo in the tag of an mp3, it might change the cover art photo of
any other mp3 file that is in the same folder. To be safe, just put the
mp3 file in its own folder before changing the cover art.

How can I add a picture to an mp3 song in Windows 7?
You want to add the album art cover to the song? If you are
using iTunes just select the song(s) you want to use the picture with
and drag and drop to the small square at the bottom of the left side
menu. Make sure it says Selected Item and not Now playing, to change
from one to another just click on the title of the square. After you
drop the picture there the files will automatically update. You can also
select all the items you want to update and then right click and select
Get Info, from there you will see a field that says Artwork, you can
drag and drop the album cover there or double click the field and browse
to the file location.
If you are using Winamp you will have to select the items you want to update and open the mp3 ID tags in a similar way to the Get Info procedura in iTunes.
In Windows media Player you will have to drag and drop over to where the Album cover should be.
If you are using a different media player, let us know.
Hope it helps.

Maybe right-click your virtual machine, go into the settings menu, look under networking and verify that “Network Address Translation” or “NAT” is being used? That should be the easiest method.
