CLOSE DOWN YOUR MODEM SPEAKER

It is unnerving to hear the shrieking noise made by 28.8 KBytes / sec and 56 KBytes / sec modems when one is connecting to the web.

Here is a way to keep your modem quiet if you are running Windows 98 - which includes a setting designed to close down the speaker of some modem when connecting to the WWW (you have to try it on yours and see if it works.)

1- Open the Control Panel and double-click Modems.
2- On the General tab, select your modem,
3- Click the Properties button
4- Move the lever under Speaker Volume completely to the left side to Off.
5- Click OK and then Close.

From now on, that modem will connect in silence.

FREEBIE

CLEAN WINDOWS SYSTEM DIRECTORY

When you uninstall a program from your system, most of the time some pieces of said program are not removed by the uninstalling tool or the Add / Remove device of Windows operating system's control panel. These files are often DLL (Dynamic Link Library files)

Their presence may be essential for the good performance of some existing programs on your system and removing them manually may ends up giving you some headaches; the whole system can become unstable.

However sometimes they are plain useless and grew more and more in size to reach few double digit megabytes, waste disk space and blot up the Windows System directory, clutter the Registry (the more files there are in your Windows System directory the longer the Registry takes to locate a file and load it when you switch on your computer.)

Now you have the possibility to manage these remaining DLLs files without creating havoc to your system and safely remove them when you are sure that they have no impact on the performance of a single existing program.

The freebie of the month scans your system looking for all references to DLL files in your Windows System directory. Those DLL files in the system directory that have no programs linked to them can be moved - in a first stage - to a backup garage; and - in a second stage - completely removed from your system.
