Internet is full of various cloud services that allows their users to store any information on their servers. This is convenient to store backups. First, archives on the remote server do not depend on the health of your hard drive. And they are always available, from any place in the world. So this article shows how to create automatic backups using any archiver, Windows Scheduler and one of such cloude services – Dropbox.

There are many different backup applications all over the web. However few of us know that an automatic backup system can be built with a usual archiver and the built-in Windows Scheduler. Let’s take a closer look on how this can be done.

In Windows 7 the operation of deleting files or folders is implemented in a very smart way. To begin with, a user can remove objects one by one, or with entire groups. For the first option, you should simply set the cursor to the desired file or folder. To perform group deletion you should select objects with your mouse and Shift and Ctrl buttons.

Hundreds of documents, photos and other files get stored on your computer while you work on it. So when you eventually need to find some particular file, you face with difficulties. Especially, if you need a not so commonly used file. Users often have to look through many folder manually trying to find the documents they need among hundreds of others. However, in Windows 7 there are convenient tools that deliver fast and effective search of desired objects.

In Windows 7 like in all other OSes of this family there is a built in tool to perform hard disk defragmentation. But unlike tools from earlier versions it is quite functional and is really capable to perform well.

The significant part of our everyday information neither is stored in paper notebooks, nor is it written down somewhere else. We have got used to computers so much that we don’t even think of where to store our data. Our hard drive – that is the place where we keep everything – notes, passwords, personal data, projects and documents. But we usually forget that this place is open to anybody, not only to its owner.

Formally, a file system is a way to organize, store and name data at information storage devices. But we can say simpler: it is a format of saving information at various storage devices and, in the first place, at the computer hard disk. Windows 7 utilizes the NTFS file system which is the most commonly used system nowadays.

The registry is the most important component of the Windows system. It stores information that is necessary to configure the operating system, such as user profiles, applications and devices. The registry also stores information about uninstalled programs if they were uninstalled incorrectly, parameters that were left behind after the uninstall process, and references to deleted files. In the course of time, the registry accumulates more and more redundant data that slows down registry access and causes system performance loss.

Although it is not recommended to edit the registry manually, there are situations when a registry editor is absolutely necessary. For this, you can use various programs (Regedit.exe or Regedt32.exe), group and system policies, registry files, or special scripts (for example, scripts written in VisualBasic).
