Backup drivers before reinstalling Windows 10 using DISM
Every time you re-install any version of Windows, you need to install drivers. This is not a problem if you have all your drivers downloaded or have disks provided by your hardware vendor.

Running Windows 7? Taskbar Pinner is a must have app for you
Out of the box, Windows 7 allows you to pin programs to the taskbar.

So I made Taskbar Pinner, a must-have tool for Windows 7 which can pin any file, any location or any folder to the taskbar.
