WinCDEmu

The main purpose of this blog is to have solutions to various computer problems I come across written down so that I know what to do if the same problem happens again. Deciding which software to use for certain tasks can also be thought as a problem and I come across this problem pretty often. After a long period of trial and error, I find the best software for the task at hand and later, after a clean install of Windows, I forget which program I like the best and have to start over from scratch. To avoid this in the future, I have decided to write about the programs I use for whatever purposes. WinCDEmu is one of those programs, which is used to mount images files so that the need to write images back to a disk is eliminated.

I am not claiming that it is okay to steal images or texts or other content from a website, but disabling the right mouse button entirely seems to me as being a little disrespectful to the user, while providing little protection from someone who is determined to steal the content. Luckily, there is an easy way to bypass this annoying "protection".

Transferring Account Settings and Saved E-Mails with Windows Live Mail

I recently formatted my hard drive to do a clean install of Windows (and possibly Ubuntu at some point) and one of the things that I had to take care of was to transfer my e-mail accounts and my saved e-mails back to Windows Live Mail after installation. Luckily, Windows Live Mail has export and import functions to easily transfer account settings and mails for this purpose. Here's a step by step explanation for importing and exporting e-mails in Windows Live Mail:

Introduction

Every computer user comes across technical difficulties; some of which are taken care of with just a few clicks of a button while others may take a lot of time and effort to handle. This blog is my attempt to create a database of solutions to such problems, as well as putting together a list of other useful information about everyday computer use. I will also write about smartphones and tablets, whenever I have anything to write about them.
