I saw this article from GHacks, but wondered if there were more programs or methods out there? Also, if I have programs installed on my HDD and then move them to the SSD and use the 'file link' method...will it still be as fast as if the files were originally installed on the SSD? I'm guessing...

I have an Explorer window open on my client PC. I browsed to a Windows share and entered credentials. I changed the permissions on the share after that, but it doesn't seem to be reflected on my client end. I would like to 'log out' then log back into the share to refresh. Is it possible...

Ok, I'm working on my brother-in-law's PC. He explained an issue to me and I told him to replace the PSU. He replaced it and the new one didn't seem to make any difference. So, I told him to return it and get another one. In the meantime I convinced him to upgrade. So, I just replaced the...

My brother-in-law needs a cheap upgrade. I'd like to get him a nice combo deal that would cost no more than $250-300. I don't care if it's Intel or AMD, and I don't care if it can game. It just needs to be able to run DVDs, surf the internet, and run Win7. I usually hand pick each part of...

I upgraded from my 8600GT last night to my new XFX 5770. I went into Device Manager, uninstalled the device and told it to delete all device driver info. I shutdown, swapped cards, then booted up. I downloaded the latest drivers from ATI and ran the install. It crashed, so I manually...

I've been getting some disk errors on my 2nd drive (non-system), and so I decided to run chkdsk via the Win7 utility today. Well, it told me that it had to dismount the drive in order to run, so I said Yes. Part of the way through it, my son hit the power button, causing the system to...

What camcorders would be recommended for under $400? I haven't owned one since the shoulder mounted VHS days when I was younger, so I'm not sure what to get. :) I have looked at the HDD and Flash ones, but not sure which would be best? I'd like to get a Flash one, but what are the cons? Do...

I just got my parts in from NewEgg yesterday. The CPU fan that came with my E6750 never got about 800RPMs and now it appears to be dead. Can I just replace the fan? Does CompUSA or someone that might be local carry something that will fit onto the stock heatsink?
