How to convert images to Icons

You can use this tool to convert images to icons and using them in your OS.
The Windows icons max size is 256x256 (Windows Vista) but this tool converts your image in a icon that contains various size (for small icons, etc... like .ico format).

I suggest you to use PNG images that support transparency.

Run the software and a little box appears, right-click on it to show options...
Select the "Choose formats" and set the options to configure the max icon size.
Drag and drop your image in the box and the icon will be created (in the original image path)

Summer is coming and your computer is in serious danger.

What I have updated?

If you don't remember what you have updated with Windows Update follow these steps:

• Open Windows Update (WIN + write "windows update" + Enter, or go to Control Panel)
• Click "View update history"
• Click the "update pack" to see more details
• Click the links in the dialog box for more details (sometimes you will redirected in the Windows homepage)

I know, it's obvious, but not everyone knows it ...

Your temperatures in the taskbar

I tried several softwares, but Open Hardware Monitor is ok for me.
I used HWMonitor, but for some reasons that I don't know it shows me only the mobo temps.

So I downloaded OHM to keep an eye on fans and temperatures (summer is coming...) and it works like a charm.

You can active a gadget on your desktop or put values (like cpu temp, cpu fan etc...) in your traybar.

Obviously to do this, the program must be in the background.
This does not pose any problem or slow down, just select the options on "Options":
- Start minimized
- Run on windows startup


Right click on the value in the traybar to change color or show other options.
