Disable the Old Adobe Flash Plugin in Google Chrome

If you’ve just updated to the Dev or Beta release of Google Chrome, you might have noticed that a special version of Adobe Flash is now integrated into the default distribution of Chrome. But what about your old plug-in?
As it turns out, the old plug-in is generally still installed… but you can easily disable Chrome plug-ins in the latest version, so let’s get to work.
Disable the Extra Flash Plug-in
Head over to about:plugins and look through the list—you should notice two Shockwave Flash plugins. The first one should be in your Google Chrome installation folder, and has the filename gcswf32.dll. This is the NEW one, so don’t disable it!
If you keep scrollling down, you’ll see the old one, with the file name NPSWF32.dll. This is the OLD plugin, and you can safely disable it.
Of course, if you only use Chrome you could just completely uninstall Adobe Flash from your system by heading into Control Panel’s Uninstall Programs screen, and then finding and uninstalling Adobe Flash Player Plugin. The ActiveX version is for Internet Explorer.
We’ve not done any testing to see if the old Flash plugin is even still active or not, but may as well disable it just to be sure, right?

Backup Your Windows Home Server Off-Site with Asus Webstorage
03 May
Posted by ProCOM on May 3, 2010 – 7:00 pm - 50 views
Windows Home Server lets you backup machines on your network easily. But what about backing up the server data? Today we take a look at ASUS WebStorage for Windows Home Server, which provides you with secure off-site backup for WHS.
To use the ASUS WebStorage service you’ll need to sign up for a free account. It offers 1GB of free storage, then you can purchase an unlimited backup package for $39.99 for a year subscription.
Note: They also offer online storage for individual PCs as well.
![sshot-2010-04-25-[00-46-31]](http://www.programimi.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/dbddae5dee004631.png.png "sshot-2010-04-25-[00-46-31]")
Install ASUS WebStorage for WHS
Browse to your shared folders on the server and open the Add-Ins folder and copy over the WHSConnectorSetup2.2.4.088.msi file (link below) then close out of the folder.
Now launch Windows Home Server Console from one of the computers on your network, click Settings, then Add-ins. Under Available Add-ins click the Available tab and you’ll see the Asus WebStorage installer file we just copied over. Click the Install button.
Installation kicks off and when it’s complete, you’ll need to close out of the console and reconnect.
Using ASUS WebStorage WHS Connector?
When you reconnect to WHS Console, scroll over to the ASUS WebStorage icon and click on Settings.
Now log into your ASUS account…
Now select the folders you want to backup to the WebStorage service.
Select the radio button next to Enable to initialize the backup process…
The backup process begins. You can change which folders are backed up simply by disabling the backup process, uncheck the folder(s), then enable the backup again.
ASUS WebStorage Site
After you have files backed up to the ASUS site, log into your account, and your presented with an overview of the amount of storage you’re using. It also shows what type of files are taking certain amounts of space.
?
You can browse through your backed up files and folders. It allows you to share and sync backed up data as well.
Navigate to the file you want and you can easily download it by clicking on it, or share it out by clicking the share link below it.
If you choose to share it, you’re provided with a link to the file to send out to other users.
?
Conclusion
Users of Windows Home Server have been looking for an inexpensive cloud backup solution for quite some time. There are services such as JungleDisk, KeepVault, Wuala…etc. These services probably do a better job, but can start getting expensive once you start uploading a GBs of data. Another disappointment of ASUS WebStorage is you can only backup your WHS shares (from what we’ve been able to determine), it’s an “all or nothing” type of thing.
You cannot go in and select individual files and folders. The initial upload speeds can be a bit slow as well, although that might have something to do with limited upload speeds on the DSL connection we used to test it.
Retrieving your data from the ASUS site is a breeze though, and all the data files are organized quite well. The WHS Addin is very easy to install and use. If you’re looking for an off-site solution to backup your WHS data, you can test out ASUS WebStorage for free with a 1GB limit.
This is good for testing the service and it might be exactly what you’re looking for. Other users may want a more advanced solution like KeepVault or CloudBerry…which is a front end for Amazon S3 storage.

Move the Status Bar Web Address Display to the Address Bar
27 Apr
Posted by ProCOM on April 27, 2010 – 8:00 am - 33 views
Is the ability to see the addresses for weblinks the only reason that you keep the Status Bar visible? Now you can hide the Status Bar and move that address display to the Address Bar in Firefox.
Before
Here is the normal “Status Bar” address display for the weblink we were hovering the mouse over in our browser. That is nice but if you really prefer to keep the “Status Bar” hidden what do you do? Move that display to a better (and definitely more convenient) location.
After
Once you have the extension installed that is all there is to it…you are ready to go. Notice the address display in “Address Bar”. That is definitely looking nice.
Just for fun we temporarily left the “Status Bar” visible as a demonstration while hovering over the link.
And then with the “Status Bar” totally disabled…more screen real-estate is always a good thing.
Note: The Status Address Bar extension does not show the original address behind shortened URLs.
Conclusion
If you are looking for an alternate way to see the address behind weblinks and acquire more screen real-estate, then the Status Bar extension will be a wonderful addition to your Firefox Browser.

Make Browsing Safer for Children in Google Chrome
26 Apr
Posted by ProCOM on April 26, 2010 – 11:00 pm - 3 views
If you are worried about the websites that your children could accidentally visit while browsing, then you may want to have a look at the Kid Safe – LinkExtend extension for Google Chrome.
Kid Safe – LinkExtend in Action
Before going any further you may want to have a quick look at the options. Everything is enabled by default but it is recommended that you disable the “Allow entering unsafe sites Option”.
For our first example we visited “chatroulette.com”. As you can see in the screenshot WOT and McAfee SiteAdvisor gave the website a “green rating” but when it came specifically to its’ level of appropriateness for children LinkExtend gave it a “yellow rating”.
Our second example was “hotbabes.com”…obviously not a good website for any child to visit. You can see that the entire window area has been totally “blacked out” and the available information for this site from each of the six ratings sources. The “Toolbar Button” is also displaying a “red rating”…
Notice the two links at the bottom of the ratings screen…both will be visible if the “Allow entering unsafe sites Option” is not disabled (see Options above).
You can see the difference for the links at the bottom of the ratings screen if you have the “Allow entering unsafe sites Option” disabled. Definitely much much better…
Clicking on the “Find Kids Sites Link” will navigate the tab to the Yahoo! Kids website.
The extension will also place “ratings buttons” beside search results at Google. As you can see in the screenshot below not all of the results had information available for them at this time. But it is certainly a lot better than nothing at all when it comes to keeping your children safe.
A close-up look at the ratings for one of the search results.
Conclusion
While no browser add-in makes for a perfect solution the Kid Safe – LinkExtend extension will definitely be a helpful addition to your family’s Chrome browser.

Have you ever needed the standard Microsoft fonts such as Times New Roman on your Ubuntu computer?? Here’s how you can easily add the core Microsoft fonts to Ubuntu.
Times New Roman, Arial, and other core Microsoft fonts are still some of the most commonly used fonts in documents and websites.? Times New Roman especially is often required for college essays, legal docs, and other critical documents that you may need to write or edit.?
Ubuntu includes the Liberation alternate fonts that include similar alternates to Times New Roman, Arial, and Courier New, but these may not be accepted by professors and others when a certain font is required.? But, don’t worry; it only takes a couple clicks to add these fonts to Ubuntu for free.
Installing the Core Microsoft Fonts
Microsoft has released their core fonts, including Times New Roman and Arial, for free, and you can easily download these from the Software Center.? Open your Applications menu, and select Ubuntu Software Center.
?
In the search box enter the following:
ttf-mscorefonts
Click Install on the “Installer for Microsoft TrueType core fonts” directly in the search results.
Enter your password when requested, and click Authenticate.
The fonts will then automatically download and install in a couple minutes depending on your internet connection speed.
Once the install is finished, you can launch OpenOffice Writer to try out the new fonts.? Here’s a preview of all the fonts included in this pack.? And, yes, this does included the infamous Comic Sans and Webdings fonts as well as the all-important Times New Roman.
Please Note:? By default in Ubuntu, OpenOffice uses Liberation Serif as the default font, but after installing this font pack, the default font will switch to Times New Roman.
Adding Other Fonts
In addition to the Microsoft Core Fonts, the Ubuntu Software Center has hundreds of free fonts available.? Click the Fonts link on the front page to explore these, and install the same as above.
If you’ve downloaded another font individually, you can also install it easily in Ubuntu.? Just double-click it, and then click Install in the preview window.
Conclusion
Although you may prefer the fonts that are included with Ubuntu, there are many reasons why having the Microsoft core fonts can be helpful.? Thankfully it’s easy in Ubuntu to install them, so you’ll never have to worry about not having them when you need to edit an important document.

Control Your Favorite Music Player from Firefox
26 Apr
Posted by ProCOM on April 26, 2010 – 8:00 am - 0 views
Do you love listening to music while you browse? Now you can access and control your favorite music player directly from Firefox with the FoxyTunes extension.
FoxyTunes in Action
Once you have installed the extension and restarted Firefox you will see the FoxyTunes Toolbar located in the “Status Bar”. The default media app is Windows Media Player but can be easily changed.
![sshot-2010-04-23-[01-33-05]](http://www.programimi.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/1f4827d7e7013305.png.png)
Here are the buttons/items available with the default settings: Search, FoxyTunes Main Menu, Show Player, Select Player, Previous Track, Play, Next Track, Mute On/Off, Volume, Play File, Twitty Tunes, Foxy Tunes Search/Explore, Open FoxyTunes Planet, & Toggle Visibility/Drag and drop to move.
Note: You can hide or show individual buttons/items using the “FoxyTunes Menus”.
![sshot-2010-04-23-[01-35-52]](http://www.programimi.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/1c50a315b2013552.png.png)
Curious about the media players that FoxyTunes works with? Here is a complete listing…that definitely looks terrific! Notice that the currently selected media app is “bold and blue”.
For our example we chose Spotify which we have previously covered. Keep in mind that you may or may not need to have your favorite media app open prior to “starting” FoxyTunes up (i.e. Play Button).
![sshot-2010-04-23-[01-38-41]](http://www.programimi.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/dffae9ba9a013841.png.png)
Here is a good look at the “FoxyTunes Main Menu” and “Controls Sub-Menu”.
The “Extras Menu”…if you click on skins you will be taken to the FoxyTunes Skins webpage.
Here is a closer look into the “Configurations Menu” and one of the sub-menus. You do not need to look for options in the “Add-ons Manager Window”…everything you need is contained in these menus.
If you do not like having FoxyTunes in the “Status Bar” you can easily drag and drop it to another toolbar.
![sshot-2010-04-23-[01-43-38]](http://www.programimi.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/4c16fa1903014338.png.png)
You can also condense the appearance of FoxyTunes using the small “triangle buttons” that are located in different spots throughout the “FoxyTunes Toolbar”. With just a click or two you can greatly reduce its’ impact on your UI.
![sshot-2010-04-23-[01-44-34]](http://www.programimi.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/c6b28528f1014434.png.png)
Conclusion
If you love listening to music while browsing then the FoxyTunes extension will let you take care of everything right from your browser.

English-Focused Translation Bookmarklet for Your Browser
23 Apr
Posted by ProCOM on April 23, 2010 – 11:00 pm - 0 views
Are you wanting a translation bookmarklet that just focuses on translating websites into English? Then you will want to take a look at the To English Bookmarklet.
Get the Bookmarklet
To install the To English Bookmarklet visit the webpage at Lifehacker (link below), grab the bookmarklet with your mouse, and drag it to your “Bookmarks Toolbar”. Now you are ready for one-click translation into English.
To English in Action
We decided to test our new bookmarklet on two different International Mozilla websites. The first one was in Swedish…
One click and there it is. Notice that there is a “translation bar frame” that will still let you choose yet another language to translate the webpage into if you desire. Definitely a nice touch…
Our second example was in Russian. Once again a single click and…
The website is now in English. On this particular page the “central green graphic” was affected by the translation and the two sidebar buttons are “pre-made” but that is ok. You can read what you need to without any problems.
Conclusion
If you have been wanting a bookmarklet that just focuses on translating into English then this should be perfect for you. If you are looking for a bookmarklet that gives you access to a Google Translation Bar then be certain to see our article here.

Stream Media and Live TV Across the Internet with Orb
22 Apr
Posted by ProCOM on April 22, 2010 – 2:00 pm - 30 views
Looking for a way to stream your media collection across the Internet? Or perhaps watch and record TV remotely? Today we are going to look at how to do all that and more with Orb.
Requirements
Windows XP / Vista / 7 or Intel based Mac w/ OS X 10.5 or later.
1 GB RAM or more
Pentium 4 2.4 GHz or higher / AMD Athlon 3200+

Note: Slower internet connections may result in stuttering during playback.
Installation and Setup
Download and install Orb on your home computer. (Download link below) You’ll want to take the defaults for the initial portion of the install.
When we get to the Orb Account setup portion of the install is when we will have to enter information and make some decisions. Choose your language and click Next.
We’ll need to create and user account and password. A valid email address is required as we’ll need to confirm the account later. Click Next.
?
Now you’ll want to choose your media sources. Orb will automatically look for folders that may contain media files.
You can add or remove folders click on the (+) or (-) buttons. To remove a folder, click on it once to select it from the list and then click the minus (-) button. To add a folder, click the plus (+) button and browse for the folder.
You can add local folders as well as shared folders from networked computers and USB attached storage.
Note: Both the host computer running Orb and the networked computer will need to be running to access shared network folders remotely.
When you’ve selected all your media files, click Next.
Orb will proceed to index your media files…
When the indexing is complete, click Next.
Orb TV Setup
Note: Streaming Live TV to Macs is not currently supported.
If you have a TV tuner card connected to your PC, you can opt to configure Orb to stream live or recorded TV. Click Next? to configure TV. Or, choose Skip if you don’t wish to configure Orb for TV.??
If you have a Digital tuner card, type in your Zip Code and click Get List to pull your channel listings. Select a TV provider from the list and click Next. If not, click Skip.
?
You can select or deselect any channels by checking or un-checking the box to each channel. Select Auto Scan to let Orb find more channels or disable the ones with no reception. Click Next when finished.
?
Next choose an analog provider, if necessary, and click Next.
?
Select “Yes” or “No” for a set top box and click Next.
Just as we did with the Digital tuner, select or deselect any channels by checking or un-checking the box to each channel. Select Auto Scan to let Orb find more channels or disable the ones with no reception. Click Next when finished.
?
Now we’re finished with the setup. Click Close.
Accessing your Media Remotely
Media files are accessed through a web-based interface. Before we go any further, however, we’ll need to confirm our username and password. Check your inbox for an email from Orb Networks. Click the enclosed confirmation link. You’ll be prompted to enter the username and password you selected in your browser then click Next.
?
Your account will be confirmed. Now, we’re ready to enjoy our media remotely. To get started, point your browser to the MyCast website from your remote computer. (See link below)
Enter your credentials and click Log In.
Once logged in, you’ll be presented with the MyCast Home screen. By default you’ll see a handful of “channels” such as a TV program guide, random audio and photos, video favorites, and weather.
You can add, remove, or customize channels. To add additional channels, click on Add Channels at the top right…
?
…and select from the dropdown list.
To access your full media libraries, click Open Application at the top left and select from one of the options.
Live and Recorded TV
If you have a TV tuner card you configured for Orb, you’ll see your program guide on the TV / Webcams screen. To watch or record a show, click on the program listing to bring up a detail box. Then click the red button to record, or the green button to play.
When recording a show, you’ll see a pulsating red icon at the top right of the listing in the program guide.
If you want to watch Live TV, you may be prompted to choose your media player, depending on your browser and settings.
Playback should begin shortly.
?
Note for Windows Media Center Users
If you try to stream live TV in Orb while Windows Media Center is running on your PC, you’ll get an error message. Click the Stop MediaCenter button and then try again.
?
Audio
On the Audio screen, you’ll find your music files indexed by genre, artist, and album. You can play a selection by clicking once and then clicking the green play button, or by simply double-clicking.
?
Playback will begin in the default media player for the streaming format.
?
Video
Video works essentially the same as audio. Click on a selection and press the green play button, or double-click on the video title.
Video playback will begin in the default media player for the streaming format.
?
Streaming Formats
You can change the default streaming format in the control panel settings. To access the Control Panel, click on Open Applications? and select Control Panel. You can also click Settings at the top right.
?
Select General from the drop down list and then click on the Streaming Formats tab.?You are provided four options. Flash, Windows Media, .SDP, and .PLS.
?
Creating Playlists
To create playlists, drag and drop your media title to the playlist work area on the right, or click Add to playlist on the top menu. Click Save when finished.
?
?
Sharing your Media
Orb allows you to share media playlists across the Internet with friends and family. There are a few ways to accomplish this. We’ll start by click the Share button at the bottom of the playlist work area after you’ve compiled your playlist.
You’ll be prompted to choose a method by which to share your playlist. You’ll have the option to share your playlist publicly or privately. You can share publically through links, blogs, or on your Orb public profile.? By choosing the Public Profile option, Orb will automatically create a profile page for you with a URL like http://public.orb.com/username that anyone can easily access on the Internet.
The private sharing option allows you to invite friends by email and requires recipients to register with Orb.
You can also give your playlist a custom name, or accept the auto-generated title.
Click OK when finished.
Users who visit your public profile will be able to view and stream any of your shared playlists to their computer or supported device.
?
Portable Media Devices and Smartphones
Orb can stream media to many portable devices and 3G phones. Streaming audio is supported on the iPhone and iPod Touch through the Safari browser. However, video and live TV streaming requires the Orb Live iPhone App.? Orb Live is available in the App store for $9.99.
To stream media to your portable device, go to the MyCast website in your mobile browser and login. Browse for your media or playlist.
Make a selection and play the media.
Playback will begin.
We found streaming music to both the Droid and the iPhone to work quite nicely. Video playback on the Droid, however, left a bit to be desired. The video looked good, but the audio tended to be out of sync.
System Tray Control Panel
By default Orb runs in the system tray on start up. To access the System Tray Control Panel, right-click on the Orb icon in the system tray and select Control Panel.
Login with your Orb username and? password and click OK.
?
From here you can add or remove media sources, add manage accounts, change your password, and more. If you’d rather not run Orb on Startup, click the General icon.
?
Unselect the checkbox next to Start Orb when the system starts.
Conclusion
It may seem like a lot of steps, but getting Orb up and running isn’t terribly difficult. Orb is available for both Windows and Intel based Macs. It also supports streaming to many Game Consoles such as the Wii, PS3, and XBox 360.
If you are running Windows 7 on multiple computers, you may want to check out our write-up on how to stream music and video over the Internet with Windows Media Player 12.

Addin Central Helps Find Plugins for Windows Home Server
21 Apr
Posted by ProCOM on April 21, 2010 – 8:00 pm - 0 views
If you’re a Windows Home Server user, you’ve probably come across a lot of cool addins that you can use to enhance its functionality. Today we take a look at Addin Central… which gives you easy access to the many addin possibilities out there.
Addin Central from HomeServerLand is a free well…addin…that brings you information and easy access to several other addins that are available for your Windows Home Server. It essentially creates an “app store” of sorts for your Windows Home Server that you can view in the console.
Install Addin Central
Browse to your shared folders on the server and open the Add-Ins folder and copy the AddinCentral.msi installer (link below).
Next open WHS Console from one of the computers connected to your network, and click Settings then Add-ins. Under Available Add-ins click the Available tab and you’ll see the Addin Central installer file we just copied over. Click the Install button.
Installation kicks off and when it’s complete, you’ll need to close out of the console and reconnect.
Using Addin Central
When you reconnect to WHS Console, you’ll see Addin Central in the menu with a list of the newest updated addins.
You can go through the list of addins and check out their rating, version, author, amount of downloads, and if they’re free or you need to purchase a license.
You can sort through the addins by popularity, author, categories, or look at them all.
?
When you select an addin you can read more detail about it in the pane on the right side…from here you can go directly to the addin website as well.
Hover over the thumbnail of the addin to get a larger screenshot of what it looks like.
The toolbox gives you different options for controlling Addin Central, and notice you can easily search for addins too.
![sshot-2010-04-18-[22-09-05]](http://www.programimi.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/064b15a52d2209051.png1.png "sshot-2010-04-18-[22-09-05]")
In the Addin Central Toolbox you can change settings such as the startup view, showing tooltips, and more.
?
Conclusion
If you’re a Windows Home Server user, you’ll definitely want to give Addin Central a go. It lets you easily find and download various addins for essentially anything you might want to use to customize your home server. HomeServerLand calls it “The Mother of All Addins” and for a good reason.

Recover that Photo, Picture or File You Deleted Accidentally
20 Apr
Posted by ProCOM on April 20, 2010 – 8:00 pm - 4 views
Have you ever accidentally deleted a photo on your camera, computer, USB drive, or anywhere else? What you might not know is that you can usually restore those pictures—even from your camera’s memory stick.
Windows tries to prevent you from making a big mistake by providing the Recycle Bin, where deleted files hang around for a while—but unfortunately it doesn’t work for external USB drives, USB flash drives, memory sticks, or mapped drives.
The great news is that this technique also works if you accidentally deleted the photo… from the camera itself. That’s what happened to me, and prompted writing this article.
Restore that File or Photo using Recuva
The first piece of software that you’ll want to try is called Recuva, and it’s extremely easy to use—just make sure when you are installing it, that you don’t accidentally install that stupid Yahoo! toolbar that nobody wants.
Now that you’ve installed the software, and avoided an awful toolbar installation, launch the Recuva wizard and let’s start through the process of recovering those pictures you shouldn’t have deleted.
The first step on the wizard page will let you tell Recuva to only search for a specific type of file, which can save a lot of time while searching, and make it easier to find what you are looking for.
Next you’ll need to specify where the file was, which will obviously be up to wherever you deleted it from. Since I deleted mine from my camera’s SD card, that’s where I’m looking for it.
The next page will ask you whether you want to do a Deep Scan. My recommendation is to not select this for the first scan, because usually the quick scan can find it. You can always go back and run a deep scan a second time.
And now, you’ll see all of the pictures deleted from your drive, memory stick, SD card, or wherever you searched. Looks like what happened in Vegas didn’t stay in Vegas after all…
If there are a really large number of results, and you know exactly when the file was created or modified, you can switch to the advanced view, where you can sort by the last modified time. This can help speed up the process quite a bit, so you don’t have to look through quite as many files.
At this point, you can right-click on any filename, and choose to Recover it, and then save the files elsewhere on your drive. Awesome!
Restore that File or Photo using DiskDigger
If you don’t have any luck with Recuva, you can always try out DiskDigger, another excellent piece of software. I’ve tested both of these applications very thoroughly, and found that neither of them will always find the same files, so it’s best to have both of them in your toolkit.
Note that DiskDigger doesn’t require installation, making it a really great tool to throw on your PC repair Flash drive.
Start off by choosing the drive you want to recover from…
?
Now you can choose whether to do a deep scan, or a really deep scan. Just like with Recuva, you’ll probably want to select the first one first. I’ve also had much better luck with the regular scan, rather than the “dig deeper” one.
If you do choose the “dig deeper” one, you’ll be able to select exactly which types of files you are looking for, though again, you should use the regular scan first.
Once you’ve come up with the results, you can click on the items on the left-hand side, and see a preview on the right.?
You can select one or more files, and choose to restore them. It’s pretty simple!
Download DiskDigger from dmitrybrant.com
Download Recuva from piriform.com
Good luck recovering your deleted files! And keep in mind, DiskDigger is a totally free donationware software from a single, helpful guy… so if his software helps you recover a photo you never thought you’d see again, you might want to think about throwing him a dollar or two.
