IETester: Test multiple Internet Explorer versions


I got my new laptop recently and after I did the Windows Update, IE 9 appeared in my laptop. I wanted to keep IE 9, but I couldn't because our projects need to use IE 8 all the time.  It is easy to uninstall IE 9 and roll back to IE 8.

Go to Programs and Features.

Click View installed updates.

Right click Windows Internet Explorer 9 and you can uninstall it.

After rebooting machine, IE 8 is back.






If you would like to test web pages on multiple Internet Explorer versions at the same time, IETester is a good tool.

Use CCleaner to remove the software you can’t uninstall in Add/Remove Programs

Today I wanted to uninstall some software like Muddly (Browser) and CA eTrust in my Add/Remove Programs (ARP) . But I couldn’t find change/remove button to uninstall them. I tried to use some online uninstall software to remove them, but they were not helpful. Finally, I found CCleaner helped me uninstall them successfully.

If you uninstalled some software before , but you can still see them in ARP, you can try CCleaner this time.

After you download CCleaner, you can launch it, go to Tools and click Run Installer. You will find it is so powerful to remove the programs so easily.

How can you send a file with more than 200 MB to your friends?

If you currently have the important files that need to send to your friends, how can you do that? Maybe you will say: Just send email. What if the file size is more than 200 MB? How can you send to your friends immediately?

Many IT persons will say: Why not set up a FTP server which can let them download? I will say : it is so slow.

Now I would like to recommend you some free websites which can let you upload files quickly and let your friends download them easily. Those are totally free as follows:

http://www.sendspace.com/
http://www.mediafire.com/
http://www.files-upload.com/
http://www.gigasize.com/
http://www.pando.com/
http://www.xdrive.com/


I like to use sendspace because I don’t have to register. Only I can do is to upload the file from my PC and enter my friend’s email address. After you click " Upload File", one file will generate one URL and send to your friend's email. If you have 5 files, you need to submit it 5 times. Your friend will have 5 URLs in his email. You can give it a try!

Use CCleaner and Uninstall Tool in your PC every day

Last May, I came across a woman in Starbucks, Fremont, CA and I knew that she lives around there. One day, she asked me: I always see you here. Are you a computer person? I said: Yes. During the discussion, I understood that her mouse in her PC didn’t work well. I told her maybe you haven’t cleaned your temporary files and Internet cookies for a long time. She didn’t get me at that time. I told her to download CCleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com/) for free and gave it a try. It would show you what file size was after you deleted.

Ten minutes later, she came back and said: Ray, thank you. My mouse is working now. The file size I delete is more than 700 MB. What happened to my PC? I told her: when you surf the website, download some software, install them, or open Microsoft Office every day, your temporary files and Internet cookies become larger and larger every day. You should schedule the time to delete them.

I also told her if you wanted to uninstall your program, you could try to use this free software, Uninstall Tool, to give it a try. It was also free and quick. (http://www.crystalidea.com/)
