Windows 7 Homegroup
Windows 7 provides offers users a platform that is ease-of-use with a variety of entertainment options, power management, and a lot of flexibility. Its marked improvement over Windows Vista in several key departments makes it far better option for a number of users. The newest OS of Windows has a whole lot to offer. In this article, we will discuss a useful feature called HomeGroup.
HomeGroup facilitates connecting multiple computers to your home network. This is the best medium to share your music, pictures and documents within your home computers. HomeGroup is automatically set up as and when you add the first PC running Windows 7 to your home network. After that you can easily add as many computers as you want to the HomeGroup. You can be absolutely specific about what exactly you want to share with each system in the HomeGroup. This way sharing files and folders across the various systems in your home network becomes as easy as if all of them are available on a single hard drive.
USB connected printers can also be shared through HomeGroup. For instance, you have a printer in the lobby that is shared by HomeGroup; it will be automatically installed on the other HomeGroup enabled computers. Computers connected through domain can also be part of a HomeGroup.
As and when you setup your network, Windows 7 will prompt you to select the type of location. Select Home Network, Windows 7 will now start applying the necessary settings for your new network. The HomeGroup wizard will get opened and will prompt you to create your HomeGroup and choose what you want to share in your HomeGroup. The wizard will then generate a password which can be used to add other computers to your HomeGroup.
As your Home Group gets created, your pictures, music, videos, printers, movies, etc are all ready to be shared with other computers joined with this HomeGroup. These folders - music, videos, and pictures - are named as Libraries in Windows 7.
How to Join a HomeGroup?
It is very simple to join a HomeGroup. When your other computer is connected to the network where a HomeGroup has already been created, the OS will prompt you that there is a HomeGroup available to join.

Laptop not shutdown properly? Find the Solution
Notebook computer does not shut down, there are many reasons cause this failure, the following are eight solution:
1. Computer hardware reasons.
Not well supported motherboard BIOS ACPI, the proposed upgrading the motherboard BIOS, generally can be resolved.
2. Computer software causes.
The records listed below may cause the computer to shutdown failure, you can start according to their own computer Bootlog.txt under the root directory shown in the case, find out the reasons:
Terminate = Unload Network can not load the network drivers of conflict
Terminate = RIT sound card or some of the old mouse driver and timer-related problems
Terminate = WIN32 some 32-bit applications locking up the system thread
Terminate = Query Drivers Driver problem
Terminate = Reset Display graphics card driver settings or display problems
3. Check Advanced Power Management (APM)
Open the start->set->Control Panel->System, then open Device Manager and Expand System Devices-Advanced Power Management, click "set" option, removed by force before using the APM method checkmark.Restart the computer if the normal shutdown, the cause of the problem may be that APM, Advanced Power Management function should be closed.
4. Disable Fast Shutdown
Starting->Operation menu, in the command box enter "msconfig" and click on OK, this time appeared"System Configuration Utility" window.Click"Order" Page, then click "Advanced" option appears at this time "advanced troubleshooting settings" window, choose "disable fast shutdown".If the computer shuts down properly, it shows it's a rapid shutdown problem.
5. Check if has closed all the applications when shut down.
If not close, you can close all applications.Because some applications may not properly shut down, and the system can not properly end the application, resulting in failure.
6. Using the IE browser, resource-intensive.
When you use IE 5 or later should pay attention to the Internet, they still occupied large amount of system resources following the withdrawal, often make the system less than 80% of the available resources, after which it is easy to run other software errors may cause the system to not soft shutdown.
7. Some software in the end will probably be doing some operations on the system data or file system and affect then cause the result of can't normal shutdown.
This is different from the poor design of the software, this may be the system of protection of their own disadvantage, sometimes with multi-task related.Although the Windows XP features multi task, but some large multi-task while a software implementation is prone to failure, such as illegal operation, such as blue screen failures and crashes.This situation can not be caused by the shutdown of the problem is usually not appear in the next boot up.
8. Some programs BUG or some 16-bit software may also undermine the memory of the system data or files.
Memory resident software can easily lead to conflict, resulting in abnormal system shutdown.Find out the problem with this software is not very easy, select the "Start" "program" "Annex" "System Tools" "System Information", open the "Microsoft System Information" dialog box, select "Tools" " System Configuration Utility "can be set to allow or prohibit the" start "in the presence of multiple Windows XP program.Other applications in question can only be used in a long process to find their shortcomings, so in a timely manner to avoid the error occurred.
