Speed up your Vista

Are you using Vista? I mean are you still waiting for the calculation of how long it will take to move these files. Or you have just clicked Windows Key + E and you are headed directly to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee while your windows explorer decides to popup. OK, while waiting I will tell you a way to speed up the things.

Delete your recent network locations

So as simple as it seems deleting your network locations can improve the performance, especially when you are not part of the listed location any more. How to do the operation. Open My Computer (this process may take time :). Find the network locations group at the bottom of the groups displayed. Delete all of them. Note: selecting all locations (in order to delete them) also can take some time.

P.S.: I'm sure that I did not invented this technique, but hope you will find it useful.

Let the journey begin. Again.

Hello dear readers. If you don't know me my name is Stefan Dobrev. I'm a software developer situated in Bulgaria. In this post I will introduce myself and what will this blog be about.

Are you a newbie blogger?

No. I have start blogging 2 years ago. My first blogging place was the .Text blogging engine that I have setup for my company Vizibility. Then the .Text engine was ported to Community Server, because .Text was abounded. You can still find old blog here, but as I'm no longer part of Vizibility I will stop maintaining it and start blogging here.

What will you blog about?

As on my previous blog I will blog about about .NET related technologies. In particular all the latest and the greatest stuff from the .NET universe - all W*F (mainly about WTF :) I will also blog about software development as a whole. What bugs me or I find of great interest will be reflected here as well.

Where did your experience come from? Are you writing some software currently?

Yep. We (my team and I) are in a process of writing mind mapping appbookvarLogoSmalllication using all these great technologies. It is called Bookvar and you can find more info about it on Bookvar's blog, where I also blog. Our mission is not only to create the best mind mapping software, but to popularize mind mapping idea, so everyone (including you) can benefit from it.

Enough for (re)introduction. Stay tuned for more.
