윈도우7 서비스 팩 1 설치 후, 백업 파일 제거 방법

윈도우7 서비스 팩 1 설치 후 제거하지 않고 계속해서 사용한다면, 서비스 팩 1 제거 시에 필요한 기존 윈도우7의 백업 파일을 삭제할 수도 있습니다. 백업 파일을 삭제할 경우 약 1GB 이상의 디스크 공간을 확보할 수 있습니다.

 

서비스  팩 1 설치 후, 백업 파일을 제거하는 방법은 다음 2가지가 있습니다.

 

첫 째, [디스크 정리] 기능을 사용하는 방법입니다. [C:] 드라이버의 [속성] 창을 [디스크 정리]를 실행하면 [서비스 팩 백업 파일] 항목이 새로 추가되어져 있습니다. 이 항목을 선택하고 [확인] 버튼을 눌러 디스크 정리(Disk Cleanup)을 실행하십시오.

 

둘 째, [명령 프롬프트] 창을 ‘관리자 권한으로 실행’ 옵션으로 연 후, 다음의 Dism.exe 명령어를 사용하면, 서비스 팩 1 설치 후의 백업 파일이 제거됩니다.

dism /online /cleanup-image /spsuperseded

 

마지막으로, 여러 종류의 이유로 인해 서비스 팩 1 설치가 안 되는 상황이 생길 수 있습니다. 이 때 ‘Windows 7용 시스템 업데이트 준비 도구’를 다운로드 하여 먼저 설치해 볼 것을 강력 권장합니다.

Windows Phone 7 RTM’d

Today Microsoft’s the most incredible product development is finalized that Windows Phone 7 has been Released To Manufacturing (RTM). Windows Phone 7 RTM has been sent to Microsoft’s hardware and carrier partners so that they can integrate their own software and services solutions and ship new devices to customers later in the year.

Microsoft thanks to everyone and stated that the Windows Phone 7 RTM is consequence of the tremendous efforts of the entire team including partners, early adopters, and independent software developers providing feedback.

The testing phase of Windows Phone 7 was extreme. The company had nearly ten thousand devices running automated tests daily, over a half million hours of active self-hosting use, over three and a half million hours of stress test passes, and eight and a half million hours of fully automated test passes before hitting RTM milestone.

Terry Myerson said:
The final integration of Windows Phone 7 with our partners’ hardware, software, and networks is underway, the work of our internal engineering team is largely complete.

Microsoft is planning to ship Windows Phone 7 in October for those in Europe and November for those in the US.

그래도 PC는 PC대로의 가치를 찾아가야 합니다.

요즘 SNS 세계에서 스마트폰이 모든 관심사의 화두인 것 같습니다. 그래도 PC는 PC 나름대로의 역할이 있는 듯 합니다. 만약 PC가 없었다면 스마트폰이 이렇게 화려한 주목을 받을 수 있었을까요? FB(FaceBook)을 하면서 느낀 점을 간단히 몇 마디 적어 보게 되었습니다.

옛날에 MSN 메신저가 나왔을 때, 서로 서로 연결 관계를 맺고 서로 의견을 공유하던 장이 있었습니다. 그 무대에서 활동하시던 많은 분들이 최근에는 Nate On으로 자리를 많이 옮긴 것으로 알고 있습니다. 결국은 SNS의 의미에서 보 듯 Social Network이라는 의미로 귀착되는데요. 어느 정도 FB에 익숙해지면 나중에는 Social에 더 의미를 둔 Network 서비스가 탄생하지 않을까 라는 생각이 문득 들었습니다.

PC와 스마트폰 모두 플랫폼은 유사하지만 2개의 속성은 상당히 다른 면이 있습니다. 실제로 PC는 개인의 Privacy에 기초하여 발전한 Computing platform이지만 SamrtPhone 본연의 역활은 사회(Social)와의 communication입니다. 원초적으로 2개의 속성은 Personality와 Sociality로 구분되기 때문에, 다수가 스마트폰의 Powerful해진 Computing power에 열광하지만, 한편으로는 Personality에 대한 부분을 만족시킬 수 있는 지는 의문입니다.

4 Ways to disable Laptop TouchPad

Below are 4 ways to disable Laptop TouchPad when using an external Mouse instead of a built-in Touchpad.

1. Disable Touchpad via Control Panel

Your system must have the Touchpad driver installed. Lets take the most common brand Synaptics as an example. You can open the “Mouse Properties” in Control Panel, and then switch to “Device Settings” tab with the Synaptics logo.

Now you will see the devices list, choose your Synaptics Touchpad, then click on “Disable” to stop it from working.

2. Disable Touchpad via Laptop Keyboard

Most laptops in the market have a built-in function key (Fn), just like the WiFi switcher, to quickly turn the Touchpad on or off.

This key may or may not be there in your laptop. It depends on what brand of laptop you are using.

3. Use TouchFreeze to disable Touchpad

While the two methods mentioned above can only disable the Touchpad permanently, TouchFreeze is a brilliant little application that disables the Touchpad temporarily when you start typing. Hence you don’t need to control the Touchpad switcher manually. Just leave it running background, and do your work confidently.

However, the above tool didn’t seem to work on my Windows 7 system correctly. May be it’s only for XP users.

4. Use Touchpad Pal to disable Touchpad

Similar to TouchFreeze, Touchpad Pal can also automatically disable Touchpad when you are typing text.

 

Compared to the tools introduced above, Touchpad pal has some advantages. Like it is compatible with Windows Vista and Windows 7, and displays the “Clicks blocked” frequency in the main interface.
