Thunderbird is a product from Mozilla labs and I honestly picked Thunderbird out of hundred of e-mail clients just because I trust Firefox and I believe if mozilla made a mail client it will be most secure e-mail client out there. The other things I love about Thunderbird is that its light weight loads fast and integrate with Gmail with a few strokes and the best it supports Addons.

The only issue I found with Thunderbird was that it always remains active in taskbar tabs and there is no option to send Thunderbird to System tray. While I was searching for the feature I searched on google and found that sending thunderbird to system tray is possible with the help of an Addon called MinimizeToTray.

How to install:

1. Right-click the download link available on download page and select “Save Link As…” to download and save the file to your hard disk.

First of all let me tell you that with this shutdown schedule method you don’t need to install any application or software in your computer. So let’s start this mini how to.

1. We need to calculate after how long we want computer to be shutdown. We have to put specific amount of time in seconds like if you want your pc to turn off after 2 hours then it will go like this. 2 hours are 120 minutes so 120 * 60 = 7200 seconds.
2. Right click on your desktop and select New > Shortcut.
3. Copy and paste “shutdown.exe -s -t 7200″ (copy without quotes) in the only text field available in new shortcut window and change “7200″ with your desired time.
4. Click next and write short cut name “Schedule shutdown”
5. Click “Finish” that’s it.

Now you have a Computer shutdown button. If you double click it your computer will be scheduled to shutdown after 2 hours. (or the desired time you specify)

Well what If you scheduled the download and then planned to keep your system turned on. You’ll have to abort preciously scheduled shutdown. Now let me explain how to make an abort button for shutdown scheduling.

1. Right click on your desktop and select New > Shortcut.
2. Copy and paste “shutdown.exe -a” (copy without quotes) in the only text field available in new shortcut window.
3. Click next and write short cut name “Abort scheduled shutdown”
4. Click “Finish” now you have abort scheduled shutdown button

Well readers you are done. With “Schedule shutdown” button you’ll start the shutdown countdown and with “Abort scheduled shutdown” your computer will remain on and won’t auto shutdown.

Walter Scott, CEO at GFI, says “We view ourselves not only as a vendor but also – and equally importantly – as a business partner that understands our customers’ needs and is actively doing something to help. With this fully functional 5-IP version of GFI LANguard we are giving something back to businesses and helping them keep their networks secure.”

The security of your business is obviously an important issue but perhaps not the number one concern to throw money at, especially in this economic slump. Cybercriminals prey on this lax mentality, though, and their threats are increasingly taking advantage of organizations.

GFI is encouraging business owners to maintain security standards even when budgets are low because consequences can be financially crippling. Furthermore, companies need to understand the critical importance of security and realize that it goes beyond anti-virus and anti-spam processes.

Over 15,000 complete vulnerability assessments are carried out when a network is scanned by GFI LANguard. When a scan is complete, GFI LANguard’s Patch Management functionality line allows administrators to deploy and manage patches and security updates on all machines across the network. Hardware information can be retrieved through the network and baseline comparisons can be used to check for unauthorized changes to a system.

For more information on GFI LANguard follow this link.

Note: GFI Languard is free for 5 IP’s.

Securable is a free little windows application. It doesn’t require any kind of installation and tells you if your system is eligible to use Windows 7 ‘XP mode’ feature to install XP compatible softwares. First Download and run Securable and then open ‘securable.exe’ you’ll come up with a window where three results would be shown stating ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ (following screenshot for reference).

Now we have results, you need to see if the third result ‘Hardware Virtualization’ is stating ‘Yes’ then your system will run ‘XP mode’ without any issues. On the other hand if there is red ‘No’ instead of ‘Yes’ then unfortunately you won’t be able to use Windows 7 ‘XP mode’ feature.
