So there’s one really annoying thing about the way Internet Explorer works and that’s when you try to save a web page. If you click on Save As, by default IE will choose the Webpage, complete (*.htm, *.html) format when saving.
save webpage ie
I don’t like this format when saving web pages because it creates one HTML file for the source code and then saves all the other assets like JS files, images, CSS, etc in a separate folder.
ie save webpage
Instead, I always change it to Web Archive, single file (*.mht). This is a lot more convenient for me if I am just looking for a quick way to save a few web pages and don’t care about all the source files.
web archive mht
So is there any way to default IE so that it saves every webpage in the MHT format instead of HTML? Well, not exactly. You can’t reconfigure the File – Save As or pressing CTRL + S on your keyboard. That will still bring up the Save Webpage dialog with Webpage, complete as default.
However, you can create a new button on the Favorites toolbar that, when clicked, will bring up the save Save Webpage dialog, but with MHT as the default. It’s the best solution and really the only one out there. It works nicely because it doesn’t require any additional clicks to use either.
Also, if you know how to use a program like AutoHotKey, you can create a keyboard shortcut so that you can press just one key to run the script and have the Save Webpage dialog pop up! In this article, I’ll show you how to do this.
First, you need to created a VBS script with the following code. In order to do this, open Notepad and paste in the following code:
WScript.Timeout=10
Set wShell=CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
wShell.SendKeys "^s"
Do While Not wShell.AppActivate("Save Webpage")
WScript.Sleep 100
Loop
wShell.SendKeys "%t{home}tww%n"
It should look exactly like this:
save webpage
Next, click on File – Save and then change the Save as type to All Files. Give the file a name like SaveAsMHT.vbs. The important thing is the .VBS at the end of the file name.
save as type
Save the file somewhere on your computer, doesn’t really matter where. Next, right-click in the same folder and choose NewShortcut.
new shortcut
Go ahead and click Browse and then select the VBS script. Give your shortcut a useful understandable name like Save As or Save As MHT, etc.
new shortcut vbs
shortcut name
Now for the last step. Open Internet Explorer, right-click anywhere in the top title bar and select Favorites bar.
favorites bar
Now all you have to do is drag and drop the shortcut to the Favorites bar. You may have to minimize IE so it’s not taking up the whole screen in order to do this.
shortcut favorites bar
That’s it! Now just click on that button, which will run the script and open the Save Webpage dialog set to the MHT format automatically.
mht save as
Sweet! So for those of you who save a lot of webpages, hopefully this will make your life easier by creating a shortcut to saving web pages in MHT format. Enjoy!

Creating a customized Windows 7 image can be accomplished using a few different methods and Microsoft even supplies some tips for creating unique and custom Windows 7 deployments. However, many of these custom imaging methods revolve around straight enterprise structure, which may require several workstations, a master PC and Windows 7 Enterprise edition.
RT Seven Lite
For non-enterprise Windows 7 imaging, which will work with all versions of Windows 7, you can use a program called RTse7enLite. The program is available as freeware.
Lately, Windows 8 has been covered quite a bit by many of the tech blogs, but it is still yet to be officially released, and as far as enterprise and IT, many businesses may stick with Windows 7. Windows 8’s metro interface and simplified apps are of course great for tablets and consumers who may like simplicity. However, Windows 7 may be skipped by several enterprise environments like Vista was…
If you still plan on using Windows 7, and fix or repair computers or offer your own IT services, you can create custom Windows 7 images that easy way, which will allow you to tweak a Windows 7 Installer ISO.
To get started, simply jump to the RTse7enLite downloads page and download the according 32 or 64-bit
version. Once the download is complete, proceed to install the program onto your PC as you would any other app. Win7
Next, you will need a Windows 7 ISO file, it can be any version. If you don’t yet have Windows 7 in ISO format and want to create a bootable ISO from a Windows 7 disc, be sure to download the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool
. Win7 USB DVD Download
Once you have a Windows 7 ISO, launch the RTse7enLite program and click the Browse button to select the ISO. You will also need to select a destination for the customized image.
RT Seven Lite Browse
Once you’ve selected the ISO and destination, the program will proceed to load the ISO. This may take several minutes. With the ISO images ready, you will be presented with the following screen:
RT Seven Loading Complete
Next, a feature that many of our site visitors may like, is the option to directly change the default Windows 7 UI Language. Simply select a language using the menu.
RT Seven Settings
Next, click the Task menu located on the left side of the RT Lite program window, which will present you with several check boxes. On this screen, you can simply click to check any customization settings you want to utilize for your custom image.
RT 7 Task Selection
With the Task selection configured, you can now select Integration, Components, Tweaks, Un-Attended, Customization and ISO Bootable.
From here, the program will present you with several different customization options, which you can configure to your own preferences. Some of the more useful options may be:
Integration
Using the Integration option, you can configure your custom Windows 7 image with the latest Windows Updates, drivers for specific devices, and even your own set of default applications. When you buy a branded PC such as a Dell, it comes configured with some apps already installed. The Applications option in this program allows you to define your own custom apps that will be equipped with the image.
Win7 Applications
Those are just a few of several unique options that the program offers. Want to install your own custom desktop backgrounds and even define a custom login screen for the image? The Customization menu allows you to set and apply several Windows 7 based customizations.
Once you’ve configured the image to your preferences, you can simply select the ISO-bootable option, configure settings for the image and click the Make ISO button.
Create image ISO
That’s basically all there is to it, and as mentioned above, we’ve only reviewed a few features that this Windows 7 customization program offers. Now, you can create your own custom Windows 7 images with less hassle, the easy way.

If you have recently starting using Windows 8, you may have run into an issue where everything starts to run really slow. If you ended up looking at the processes running in Windows 8, you may have noticed a certain process eating up a lot of your CPU.
At least that’s what happened to me on one of my Windows 8 machines. I have installed Windows 8 on several computers and they all worked fine until I installed it on a Lenovo laptop. When I checked the the task manager, I saw that the Device Association Framework Provider Host (daHost.exe) process was taking up almost 90% of the CPU on the system!
high cpu dahost
If you’re seeing this running on your system, then the issue could be with an out of date driver running on your system. Since Windows 8 is so new, there is still a lot of hardware out there that does not yet support Windows 8 by providing compatible drivers.
You can tell whether it’s hardware causing the problem by going to Device Manager and checking for any yellow exclamation points. You can do this by going to Control Panel and clicking on Device Manager.
device manager
Then check for any yellow exclamation points on network cards, display adapters, etc. If you see one, then it’s definitely related to that piece of hardware and you probably need to find a Windows 8 driver. If you can’t find a Windows 8 driver, try downloading the latest version of the Windows 7 driver. Then you can install it in Compatibility mode.
yellow exclamation
If none of the drivers you are using are working, the only other option you might have until a newer is released is to disable the device. You can do that by right-clicking on the device in Device Manager and choosing Disable.
disable hardware
Of course, you won’t be able to use the device if it’s disabled, but at least you’ll be able to use Windows 8 without the high CPU usage. If you tried all of this or if there is nothing in Device Manager showing a problem, post a comment here and I’ll try to help. Enjoy!

If you like using a mouse to get work done on your Mac or Windows laptop, then you might find it useful to disable the trackpad or touchpad on your system. This is really useful if you type a lot and the trackpad is located in a spot on your laptop that causes it to always pick up slight movements from your hand while typing.
It can be really annoying if you are typing something and all of a sudden the cursor jumps to another part of the document! In this article, I’ll show you the different ways to disable the touchpad on OS X, Windows 7 and Windows 8.

Disable Trackpad OS X Mountain Lion

If you’re running the latest version of OS X and you have a bluetooth or USB mouse connected, you can have OS X ignore the trackpad by going to System Preferences and then clicking on Accessibility.
disable trackpad mac
Then scroll down to Mouse and Trackpad and check the Ignore built-in trackpad when mouse or wireless trackpad is present box.

Disable Trackpad on Windows

In Windows 7 and Windows 8, there are a couple of different ways you can disable the trackpad depending on how your system is configured. The first way you want to check is to see if there is a special button on the keyboard or switch on your laptop to disable the trackpad. For example, this is the key on a Dell laptop. You have to press the Function key and the trackpad button to enable/disable it.
disable trackpad keyboard
If you don’t have the button or the switch, the next way to disable the touchpad is to go to Mouse properties from Control Panel and check if there is a Device Settings or Touchpad tab.
device settings
Click on the Disable button and you’re good to go. If you don’t see the Device Settings tab in Mouse Properties, that means you don’t have the proper drivers installed or the full software for the trackpad. Go to the manufacturers website and download the full driver package.
Lastly, you can open up Device Manager from Control Panel, expand Mouse and other pointing devices and then disable the touchpad if it is listed there.
uninstall touchpad
Everything is the same when disabling the trackpad in Windows 8 also. Of course in Windows 8, your trackpad may not even work unless you have the latest drivers! Synaptics still hasn’t released a Windows 8 generic Touchpad driver yet, so keep an eye out for that if you have a Synaptics touchpad on your laptop. Enjoy!

If you have been playing around with Windows 8 recently and tried installing it on a laptop that has Intel HD graphics, you may have been surprised when you try to boot and end up with a black screen! At least I was! I have a Dell laptop and installing Windows 8 was fine with no problems.
black screen
Once it rebooted, I was presented with a lovely black screen and nothing else. After playing around a bit, I decided to try a couple of things and eventually got it working, but it took some time! In this post, I’ll walk you through the steps you can take to troubleshoot a black screen with Windows 8.

Safe Mode

The first thing you can try is Safe Mode in Windows 8. Obviously, it was a graphics card problem and safe mode loads with minimal graphics drivers. You can read my previous post on how to boot Windows 8 into Safe Mode
. If you can get into Safe Mode, then you can try and download some different drivers and see if that fixes the problem. If you have a machine like a Dell or HP, try to go to their site and download the latest driver they provide for Intel HD graphics. If you already have the latest driver from the manufacturer’s website and you are still having the same problem, you can try downloading the latest drivers from Intel
itself. intel hd graphics

Connect to External Display

If you can’t get into safe mode, you can also try connecting your laptop to an external display via HDMI, VGA, DVI, etc. I tested this out and it works fine. Windows 8 booted with no issues. The laptop screen remained black, but at least I was able to get in and adjust the settings.
The other thing you can try is to disable Intel HD Graphics and then try to boot Windows 8. This has fixed the problem for some people. You can do this by going to the Start Screen and start typing Device Manager. This will automatically open the Charms bar and start a search.
device manager windows 8
Now expand Display Adapters and then right-click on Intel HD Graphics and choose Disable.
