Now we have a trick that works on both Vista and XP in order to get a “warm boot” thus by saving 30 seconds per cycle.

How do we do it?

Hold the SHIFT key when invoking the restart.

Windows Vista: Select Start, and then hover over the right arrow that is to the right of the padlock icon until the pop-up menu appears that contains “restart” as one of its choices. Hold down the SHIFT key while clicking on the “restart” choice.

Windows XP: Select Start. Select “Shut Down…” Change the drop-down combo box under “What do you want the computer to do?” to “Restart”. Hold down the SHIFT key while clicking on the “OK” button.

Universal uploader allows you to upload and download video, pictures, files and other files to this website from a common interface.

Sometime back it use to be a joke when someone asks can we download the internet to my computer or how long will it take, but with this software looks like it’s no more a joke. Webaroo can download the whole internet onto your computer. You can even you can select the web packs which you visit frequently.

This software actually caches the internet into your computer once and that’s all you can start working offline like searching the web without internet connection. The interesting part is when the system is connected next time to the internet it synchronises and automatically downloads the new changes in the web.

It requires a minimum of 6 GB to start using web packs and maximum of 40 GB to store the internet. Sounds crazy? Check out yourself at www.webaroo.com
