Anyone who's opened the task manager in any version of Windows has seen the process "svchost.exe" at one point or another. What's more confusing is that svchost is usually found to have more than one instance! What are they all doing there, and just how much of my precious memory are they wasting? Let's talk! Svchost is kind of a catch-all. It is used to host multiple services within one process. This helps to actually conservememory in your system by having one process govern many. Stuff like Windows Update, the Event Log, Audio Services and bunches of other programs, processes and the like can be found under the svchost umbrella. If you want to identify what services are using svchost, do this: In Windows Vista and 7: ~Andrew Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version

Mary from CA writes: My PC shows that my hard drive disk is almost full. I have not added any new programs. I have deleted and it does not change! I have run the disk cleanup, and it does not change. Help!!!? Hi, Mary. A full hard drive can cause all kinds of problems for your machine, including but not limited to a slow computer and, ultimately, hard drive failure. There are a number of possible reasons for this. 1) It's just FULL. You just have too much stuff on your drive. I had this problem several years ago, and found that the best solution for me was to move my personal files onto a removable hard drive. Clean up is a great program, but it only removes unnecessary programs and files, and most of these are pretty small. By removing your personal files to an external drive, you'd be clearing out a lot of hard drive space. 2) You've got a virus. Nasty bugs are everywhere these days, created by people with more computer knowledge than common sense. I have one on my phone right now that I'm struggling to get rid of. One variation of these things fills your hard drive with junk. Disk clean-up doesn't really help, because the thing can fill your hard drive as fast as you can empty it. Some of these files are also listed as essential files, and so wouldn't be deleted by clean-up. The best solution to this is to make sure that you have a good, reputable anti-virus program on your computer. Not something that you downloaded from a pop-up that says "YOUR COMPUTER HAS A VIRUS! CLICK HERE TO FIX IT!" 3) Your hard drive is failing It happens to the best of us. We get old, and things don't work like they're supposed to. Average life for a hard drive these days is seven or eight years, but if you take care of your computer like you're supposed to, it could last more than ten. When a hard drive starts failing, it can throw off all kinds of incorrect and erroneous messages, including telling you it's full when it's not. One clue to this is if your computer wants to do a disk check every time that you boot up. If that's the case, then you probably have multiple failed sectors on your disk and it's time to replace it. If it's more than five years old, and nothing above works for you, you may consider replacing it anyway. I hope that this helps. ~Randal Schaffer Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a question for us? Ask it here!

Kerry from Lancaster, OH asks: Is there any way to lock a folder in Windows? Thanks for the question, Kerry. As far as I know, there are no folder lock features designed into Windows, but the article,Finding Hidden Folders, describes a built-in way to limit access. You might also consider the free software application, My Lockbox, which enables Windows users to easily hide and lock nearly any folder. While the single locked folder limitation is seen by some as a disadvantage, multiple folders can be moved into the protected folder, or a new one can be assigned at any time (described later). Also, I think the price advantage–$0.00–offsets this minor inconvenience. Get the download here! (Want these tips in their entirety? Sign up for Premium!)

Sound Familiar? So you're a bookworm AND a night owl...and your husband or wife is ready to SNAP! Every night you lie in bed, reading your book while your partner is trying to sleep. The light is on in the bedroom because, even though you own about 3 book lights, you simply can't stand using them! One of them is a nice design with a DIM bulb. You can't read like that! Another one is simply too awkward to properly use. You know...the kind that's too top heavy to be fully supported by that adjustable neck that houses the bulb? The other one never worked to begin with! Aren't you tired of spending more time trying to make your awkward, heavy book light function than you actually spend reading? How Awesome is This? A light-weight, LED powered booklight that also functions as a bookmark! Take a good look! Slide the back cover of your book through the opening, turn on the LED light and you're all set!

Because of how energy efficient LED bulbs have become, bateries last 10X longer than they do with standard bulbs! Think of the money you'll be saving too! Think of it this way: if you read for an hour in bed every night, that LED bulb will last, at a MINIMUM, for 27 years without ever having to be replaced! Is that AMAZING or what? BRILLIANTLY DESIGNED! Because this is designed to be clipped to the back of your book and there's no "flex neck" to get in your way, you'll be turning pages without any adjustments!
