After giving you ten reasons why you should upgrade to Windows 8 , it is now time to give you reasons why you may not want to upgrade to Windows 8. This is not a top ten list, and it does not have to be one as you do not need ten or more reasons not to switch. If there is one thing that is bothering you or keeping you from upgrading, it is sufficient. http://www.ghacks.net/2012/08/26/reasons-why-you-do-not-want-windows-8/

We’re big fans of hacking the Windows Registry around here, and we’ve got one of the biggest collections of registry hacks you’ll find.

Autoruns for Windows

Introduction This utility, which has the most comprehensive knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs are configured to run during system bootup or login, and shows you the entries in the order Windows processes them. These programs include ones in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other Registry keys. You can configure Autoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell extensions, toolbars, browser helper objects, Winlogon notifications, auto-start services, and much more. Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and XP. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
