If you do a lot of work on your laptop or when you are away from your home, the battery life is always the cause of the worry to the user. The user always remains anxious about how much battery is left and how much work can be done on the laptop.

Windows 7 provides the solution to it. Battcursor feature in the latest Windows 7 feature keeps the track of the battery life and keep the user aware of the battery status. Its power saving functions are quite impressive. Though it is a little program but offers many useful features.

The tool includes indicator to the cursor. The cursor itself turns into a floating battery meter and whenever the battery power is low, the percentage and the visual indicator will be displayed. Aero Glass style feature allows you to set BattCursor to show Windows title bar which itself alters the color to warn you when your battery is low.

The title bars will give the blue color if the battery is full or nearly full and if your laptop is running out of battery the spectrum will shift to the warning colors. By default it displays yellow for low and red for critical. You can also modify the colors and activate the Power profiles as the battery diminishes.

To keep the user aware, BattCursor also shows the current charge level. It also allows you to disable the Aero Glass and Windows Sidebar when certain level is attained by the battery to extract more life out of the battery. Power Profiles in Windows 7 feature can be automatically switched with the BattCursor. Once you enable the function, at the

specified charge level your system will be changed from high performance to balanced to power saver.

This is many people are always angry, send links by e-mail from any version of IE is always included as an annex to Internet shortcuts as well as the text of the web site. What is even more annoying now, because Microsoft decided to be able to send a shortcut, including text from the Windows XP operating system, Web site, it is only one annex and replace a text in the message body.

This feature is a Windows file, sendmail.dll, it is updated and "improved" operating system. Unfortunately, the improved ability to remove the web site including text.

This means that only through a shortcut to the Outlook user is a waste of time because they can not annex off easily.

As I wrote last month, I suggest that you install this update delayed until the administrative details of your work for your organization.

Outlook 2000 requires MSN version 2.5 or later

To use MSN with Outlook 2000, you must have MSN version 2.5 or later. Outlook 2000 doesn't support MSN versions 2.0 and earlier. Trying to use a version of MSN earlier than 2.5 will result in problems.

If your e-mail server settings are not causing the problem, try one or more of the following, as appropriate:
If you are on a LAN, check your proxy settings

If you use MSN on a corporate network, contact your network administrator for the correct proxy settings for your LAN.
Check that your e-mail has been migrated to the MSN POP3/SMTP servers

1. Go to the MSN Address Book.
2. Type your e-mail name in the E-mail name box, and then click Search.

Technology - Microsoft has made available Tuesday evening SP2 of Office 2007. Improvements to the program's most anticipated, native support for PDF, ODF, XPS and increased speed of execution for Outlook.

The release of Service Pack 2 of Office 2007 does not cause as much excitement as the Release Candidate of Windows 7, it does not mean least important. Microsoft is working on for over a year and has made significant fixes to security on the one hand, but for performance and compatibility.

First improvement in long, native support of the open source OpenDocument format in Excel Format (. Ods), PowerPoint (. ODP) and Word (. Odt). In the same spirit, the PDF and XPS are also borne of origin. The inclusion of plug-ins. A turning point for Microsoft is to open direct competitors, such as Acrobat and OpenOffice.org.

Outlook has also benefited from a series of improvements. According to Microsoft, SP2 would provide 26% extra speed at the start and closure and for common tasks.

Available by download or via Windows Update soon, SP2 weighs 304 MB

It's amazing how often a seemingly innocent action by the user and an update for a program can affect negatively another. Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer, released in mid-May. After installing that update, Outlook 2003 responds very slowly when typing HTML messages.

The problem in this case is two-fold. First, users either added a large number of sites to IE's restricted zone or installed a "security" application that added them. The cumulative security update then changed the way the Internet Explorer 7 rendering engine interacts with the Restricted Sites zone and this change causes Outlook to pause after each keystroke while the IE7 rendering engine checked the sites in the zone.
The user has several options to fix this issue:
1.Remove the security update.
2.Switch to plain text formatted messages. Using RTF message format will fix the problem but should only be used when all of your recipients use Outlook.
3.Remove all of the unnecessary sites from the Restricted zone.
4.Use Word as the email editor.
Of these options, removing the security update should be the last resort. Editing out the chaff in the Restricted zone would be my first choice since too many users load it with sites they are unlikely to ever come across and which may no longer be "live". I'm a big fan of short blocked or restricted lists and long safe lists, so I would tighten the Internet zone and use the Trusted zone for the sites I visited often.

The advantages of using short restricted lists and longer safe lists is that too often the restricted address is only in use for a limited time before the webhost shuts it down. In the case of email addresses, so many spammers fake the sending address or only use them once. In either case, the software reads the list as needed, which slows down the response for the very few times it hits a valid entry. Safe lists, while long, are still much shorter than blocking every untrusted address in existence.
