<h2>PC Irritants: What To Do About Them</h2> <p> Having a software and using it wisely may seem like two different matters, when it comes to Windows. What we try to say here is that no matter how reliable and easy to handle Windows was designed to be, it is still a cause of some serious nuisances that border on stupidity. Not one time, Windows users had to deal with annoying and redundant security alerts, weird messages communicating what the users just did or conflicts with pluggable devices that the users should be free to plug and unplug whenever they want. In this article, we will show you how to keep Windows at bay, along with all the irritation it can cause.<br /><br />In this article I'll be discussing some common Windows Irritants and their solutions.<br /><br />Pluggable Devices Do Not Befriend Windows<br /><br />If you have ever encountered the message "Delayed Write Failed", then you know what kind of love/hate relationship Windows and USB drives share. Even if you like your USB drives because you can plug them in and out when you want and use them as you see fit, Windows seems to have something against this harmony. In order to avoid the error message mentioned earlier, you need to make sure that Windows finishes writing your USB drives until they go unplugged, without any failed attempts, after that. How do you do that? Your system tray has an utility called "Safely Remove Hardware" that announces when the USB is no longer in use. If you are interested in finding more on the subject, Google is your friend.<br /><br />Irritant: Die Hard Security Alerts<br /><br />No matter what kind of a security freak you may be, there is no way you can outclass Windows. You have your firewalls, you have your antivirus software, but still Windows tries to prove you wrong, by sending you annoying security alerts letting you know that a virus is about to take control over your computer. Here is how you can silence these messages. Click on the next one you see and go to Virus Protection Panel. You will see in the Recommendations menu the option saying "I have an antivirus program" that you can mark in order to get rid of these nuisance.<br /><br />Printer Messages Are A Hassle<br /><br />If you send files to a network printer, you may have been annoyed at the "item printed" balloon message that pops up every time. To disable this lame option, navigate to the Control Panel and go to Printers and Faxes; next, click File, Sever Properties, and choose the Advanced Tab; at the bottom of the box, uncheck the "Notify me when remote documents are printed" check box.<br /><br />Irritant: Whimsical E-mail Clients<br /><br />You'll most likely experience this when default settings are not reset when you uninstall a web browser. For example, say you install Firefox, but you decide you'd like to go back to surfing the web with Internet Explorer instead. URLs that you receive in an email client, like Thunderbird or Outlook, may no longer open when you uninstall Firefox, as you need to give the default rights back to Internet Explorer to make the URLs open correctly in IE. Navigate to the Control Panel and select Internet Options; next, choose Programs, and select "Internet Explorer as the default browser". A simple fix for a very annoying problem. <p style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top:5pt"> <font face="Arial" style="font-size: 10pt">Article Source: <a href="http://www.ArticlesMaker.com">ArticlesMaker.com</a></font></p> <h3>About the Author</h3> Kay Brenner is a <a href="http://www.pcdocpro.com" target="_blank">PC tools</a> consultant who specializes in restoring your slow PC, saving you from the hassles of struggling with a sick computer.
