Fauzi — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 01:58:55 +0000

It is really annoying when each time you type, the mouse cursor blocking the view. But there is a solution on how to move away the cursor when you type. We called it, MouseAway.

Let say when you want to type something in Notepad, the cursor blocks your way. But when you using MouseAway, it will move the cursor away from the text you are writing. It is all depends on the cursor and the keyboard pointer. If the cursor is near to the keyboard pointer, MouseAway will move your cursor away from it.

MouseAway does not use too much resource. About 40kb is use and sometimes up to 900kb depending on the usage. Click here to download MouseAway.

Enable Windows Vista UAC quiet mode

Fauzi — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 01:05:48 +0000

It is really a pain when you want to do something with Windows Vista, it will prompts you “Windows needs your permission to continue”. Instead of disable it and leave your Windows Vista unprotected, you can enable the User Account Control (UAC) quiet mode.

There is two ways for you to enable the quiet mode function. First, with this TweakUAC tool or via the registry. I talk about the TweakUAC first.

TweakUAC is a nice simple tool that will allow you to set whether you want to enable UAC, disable UAC or enable UAC in quiet mode. No installation is required just double click and run it. Just simple like ABC.

If you want to feel like a Windows Vista geek, you can enable the UAC quiet mode from the registry. Open up Registry Editor (Run > regedit) and go to:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
“ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin”

and

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
“ConsentPromptBehaviorUser”

Set the value from 2 to 0. This will enable the UAC quiet mode.

It has been long time

Fauzi — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 14:08:38 +0000

Yeah, it has been long time since my last update for this website. It was not because I am lazy to update but because I don’t have internet connection when I in university.

I have just subscribed an internet broadband and I’m using it right now. The speed is ok but sometimes it is really slow. Even my dial-up is much faster than this. But so far, I still can use it to download and update my websites.

So, if you have not yet subscribe my site feed, I really recommended you to subscribe now because I will take you to the world of Vista.

See you at the next update.
