BartPE

Create a bootable CD or DVD in case your PC crashes and won't reboot.
This free tool lets you create a bootable emergency disc customized for your PC. Short for Bart's Preinstalled Environment, BartPE copies the Windows files from your hard drive or Windows Installation CD and creates a bootable CD or DVD that you can then use to boot into Windows if your installation of Windows gets trashed. It installs a number of basic drivers, so your mouse, keyboard and many network adapters will work. With a little technical knowledge, you can add other drivers to the bootable CD.
BartPE also comes with a number of useful plugin programs for tasks such as virus scanning and CD burning. The latter feature lets you boot into Windows and copy files to a CD. When I tried it on a test system, it worked perfectly, enabling me to boot into Windows from a CD, access my network and copy files. However, it won't help if you haven't built the boot disc before your system fails because the program that builds the bootable CD runs in Windows. The best advice is to run it now before your PC fails and store the disc it builds in a safe place.

FAQ


How to Remove Norton Antivirus and Security Products
One of the most frequently asked questions I get is how to uninstall Norton or McAfee antivirus and security products. Maybe its because trial versions of these products were preinstalled when the customer purchased the computer, or maybe you want to uninstall Norton Antivirus and install another antivirus software product

My personal experience with Norton Antivirus has been mostly positive. However, each successive version seems to incorporate more functionality but it gets slower and slower.

Removal through the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel

In many cases, you can simply remove Norton products through the Add/Remove Control Panel.
1) Click on Start, Click on Control Panel
2) Double-click on Add or Remove Programs
3) Find the Symantec or Norton product listed and click on it. It should look similar to the following

4) Click on Remove
5) You'll see a screen similar to the one below. Click the Remove All button to start the removal process.

6) Once the removal process completes, you'll be asked to restart the computer. Go ahead and reboot at that time.
7) After rebooting Norton should be removed from your system.
If for some reason, the normal uninstall does not remove it, I recommend following the automatic uninstall instructions below to remove any leftover Symantec or Norton security products.
Removing Norton Automatically
Norton has created an automatic removal program to remove the following software products when the normal removal methods fail. Warning: if you use ACT! or WinFAX, back up those databases and uninstall those products as well. The removal tool will remove the following software products from your computer.
• Norton AntiSpam 2004 - 2005
• Norton Antivirus 2003 - 2007.2
• Norton Ghost 2003, 9.0, and 10.0
• Norton GoBack 3.1 - 4.2
• Norton Internet Security 2003 - 2007.2
• Norton Password Manager
• Norton Personal Firewall 2003 - 2006
• Norton SystemWorks 2003 - 2007
• Norton Confidential Online 2007
• Norton Internet Security 2007 Add-on Pack
• Norton Save and Restore 1.0 - 2.0
• Norton 360
Follow these directions to download the Norton Removal Tool and run it to remove the above programs.
1. Click on the following link to download the Norton removal tool

2. Click Save and save the file to your desktop
3. Close all Norton Application windows you may have open, and double-click on Norton_Removal_Tool.exe to start the removal tool. Windows Vista users will have to right-click on the file and select "Run as Administrator"
4. After the removal tool finishes, you should be prompted to restart your computer.
5. Once the computer restarts, your Norton product should be uninstalled.
Extra Optional Steps
1. Open My Computer, double-click on Drive C
2. Double-click on Program Files
3. Look for any Norton or Symatec product folders that remain. Right-click on them and choose Delete. Also look in the Program Files\Common Files for the Symantec Shared folder and delete it
4. Close My Computer and other folders

Startup Delayer

DESCRIPTION:With Startup Delayer you can speed up Windows' boot:when Windows boots, it loads at the same time a lot of programs (ie: Antivirus, firewall, office quickstart bar, mouse manager, messenger...): this puts an high overwork on the hard disk (it has to read simultaneasly from totally different parts of the disk) and this saturates Ram and CPU (launching a new program is often resources expensive).It's easy to understand that, in this way, boot is really slow.
With Startup Delayer instead you can set a delay time beetween the launch of every program to avoid overloading the system.You can choose how the program's window will appear (maximized, minized, hidden, normal) and set a different priority to the progam (low, below norma, normal, above normal, high, realtime).
Startup Delayer can also be used to load every programs you want when you want:do you want to connect to the internet and open all the programs you'll need?Easy: for example you just have to click on one icon to make Startup Delayer do all this: open the firewall, the internet connection, the email client, the browser, the news feeder... You'll have the full control of what you want to be loaded.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:Operating System: Windows 98 - ME - NT 4(service pack5) - 2000 - XP - Vista Libraries: you will need the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 or higher freely downloadable from Microsoft.com site
