How to Enable Hidden Options in Windows’ Disk Cleanup Tool The  Disk Cleanup tool  has been around in Windows for years. It offers a quick way to remove temporary, cache, and other non-essential files to help you free up some disk space. You can even use it to remove  old versions of Windows  after an upgrade to Windows 10. Disk Cleanup also has several hidden options that you can only access if you run it from the Command Prompt or a custom shortcut. Start by opening the Command Prompt with administrative privileges. Press Windows+X and choose “Command Prompt (Admin)” from the list of commands. At the Command Prompt, type the following command and then press Enter. cleanmgr /sageset:65535 /sagerun:65535 Note that where this command uses the number  65535 , you can actually use any number between  1  and  65535  as long as you use the same number in both places. The reason for this is that the  cleanmgr  command offer...

Seeing what Chrome is like without spending a penny is easy on Windows, Mac or Linux with a virtual machine. I like to tell people that they should try a  Chromebook . I think it's simply the best platform for a laptop for most home-users, and the price-point is perfect. But  saying  something is easy — it's the believing part that is a little harder. Taking a gamble by spending $200 or more based on what other people think can be difficult. I feel you because I'm a bit of a tightwad myself and while I'm not from Missouri I usually need to see something for myself before I make a decision. If that sounds like you, too, this is something you'll need to try. The picture above is Chrome OS (technically Chromium) running on top of Windows 10, and it was as easy as downloading two free files and opening them. Using VirtualBox — software that creates a virtual machine on Windows, Mac or Linux — and a build of Chromium from the folks at NeverWare you really can se...

5 Best Linux Distros for Installation on a USB Stick Puppy Linux For the longest while,  Puppy Linux  has been seen as little more than a curiosity. Designed to be used on the most austere of hardware, it could comfortably chug away on early Pentium machines without breaking a sweat. But it wasn’t that practical. Many installed it on their antique hardware to see how little ‘oomph’ it needed, and then forgot about it. But it never went away. Updates and new versions are still regularly released. Sure, it’s still stripped down; it can run on low-end and underpowered hardware. But you can now use it to get stuff done. There are three different versions of Puppy. One, called  Slacko Puppy  is based upon SlackWare, which is one of the longest established Linux distributions. People continue to use it as their day-to-day operating system.  People understand it . Another is built around Ubuntu 14:04 LTS,  called TahrPup . The third versi...

Never10 Prevents Windows 7 and 8.1 from Automatically Upgrading to Windows 10 Microsoft really, really wants you to upgrade to Windows 10, but if you’re a happy Windows 7 or 8.1 user, you shouldn’t be forced to upgrade. Never10 gives you control over whether Windows will upgrade itself. The free utility from security researcher and developer Steve Gibson couldn’t be simpler to use. Run the 81k program and click either “Disable Win10 Upgrade” or “Enable Win10 Upgrade.” Never10 modifies the GWX (Get Windows 10) registry settings to prevent or enable automatic OS upgrading. You’ll need to be running a non-Enterprise edition of Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 for this to work. For some systems, you might need to get a Windows Update to be able to use Never10, but the utility will also figure that out for you and also install the update if necessary. You can  read more about the technical details behind Never10 here . Unlike  GWX Control Panel , another tool used for the same pu...

Whether you’re formatting an internal drive, external drive, USB flash drive, or SD card, Windows will give you the choice of NTFS, FAT32, and exFAT. The Format dialog in Windows doesn’t explain the difference, so we will. FAT32 is an older file system that’s largely relegated to USB flash drives and other external drives. Windows uses NTFS for its system drive, and it’s also ideal for other internal drives. exFAT is a modern replacement for FAT32, and more devices support it than do NTFS — although it’s not as widespread as FAT32. FAT32 FAT32 is the oldest file system here. It was introduced all the way back in Windows 95 to replace the older FAT16 file system. This file system’s age has advantages and disadvantages. Because it’s so old, it’s the de-facto standard. Flash drives you purchase will often come formatted with FAT32 for maximum compatibility across not just modern computers, but other devices like game consoles and anything with ...
