Add Album Art to any Music Folder

Add Album Art to any Music Folder
This is easily my favorite tip! One of the coolest new features in Windows XP is its album thumbnail generator, which automatically places the appropriate album cover art on the folder to which you are copying music (generally in WMA format). But what about those people that have already copied their CDs to the hard drive using MP3 format? You can download album cover art from sites such as cdnow.com or amguide.com, and then use the new Windows XP folder customize feature to display the proper image for each folder. But this takes time--you have to manually edit the folder properties for every single folder--and you will lose customizations if you have to reinstall the OS. There's an excellent fix, however.

When you download the album cover art from the Web, just save the images as folder.jpg each time and place them in the appropriate folder. Then, Windows XP will automatically use that image as the thumbnail for that folder and, best of all, will use that image in Windows Media Player for Windows XP (MPXP) if you choose to display album cover art instead of a visualization. And the folder customization is automatic, so it survives an OS reinstallation as well.

Your music folders never looked so good!

Bypass the Windows Vista log-on screen on multiaccount PCs

It's a very short tip I'd like to share with you all on how to auto login to your Windows Vista when you startup your computer. Here's an example for you to understand better. Every time you start your computer, you're prompted to enter password in order to login to Windows. You find this irritating when no one else is using your computer that is sitting at home. Just follow a few simple steps below and you won't be bothered by this login prompt every again! 1. At the Search box or a command prompt, type control userpasswords2 and press Enter. The User Accounts screen appears. The User Accounts screen lists all your user accounts and lets you customize them. 2. Highlight the account that you want to automatically log on with, then uncheck the box next to Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer. Click OK. 3. The Automatically Log On dialog box appears. Type in the password for the account that you want to log on automatically. (If the account shown isn't the one that you want to log on automatically, type in the username and password for the correct account. Click OK.) 4. From now on, you'll automatically log in using that account. When you're logged in, if you want to switch to another account, use Fast User Switching: Click the Start button, click the arrow in the lower-right corner of the Start menu, and select Switch User. You'll come to a screen listing all users on your PC, where you can log in as any other user.
