If you are a desktop programmer, often after making a good program, you a little bit confuse to make a help file for your program. Yet it is a simple and there are a lot tutorial out there but still making us headache. Help file (CHM) is not other then a html file combined and compressed together. Yes, I can make html file but how do I combine them??

The tutorial I get often showing me a way that I don't understand. Making me looking the other way. Is there a tool to create CHM file? Yes there are. And most of them commercial ones. If I found free / open source one, the function or how to use it rather difficult.

Until I found CHM Builder from Eric Lescasse this tool is very handy, simple to use and yet easy to understand. In one moment looking at it, I am already know how to use it. Yeah... I am not HTML coders I still need Frontpage / Dreamweaver to design my page then copy the code to CHM Builder. But it still a really nice program. It help me create a complete software delivery.

when my utorrent activity very low (almost no traffic at all), and I need badly to watch new anime episode. I am looking for several bittorrent client. then I choose "Turbo Torrent". hoping that it'll gave me new anime episode faster.

when installing Turbo Torrent, it said it'll install WhenU ads because the software is supported by them, and I can easily remove the ads if I dont like. Well after trying Turbo Torrent, it got no progress downloading, so I remove it. But the Ads itself is not removed. It's still pop-ing up everytime I browse the net using Firefox / IE.

Search Google with keyword NSIS Media, I found this blog that providing tool to remove it. Try it and it seems my PC now free from NSIS Media ads.

You can configure Windows XP to automate the logon process if your computer is not part of a domain. Computers configured in a business environment generally have a domain and for those machines the option "Users must enter a username" does not appear because a password must be given to access the local area network or domain.

1. Click Start, click Run, and type control userpasswords2. This is a shortcut instead of having to click on Start -> Control Panel -> User Accounts.
2. Uncheck the "Users must enter a username and password to use this computer" check box.
3. Click Apply.
4. Enter the user name and password you wish to automatically log on with, and then click OK.
5. Click OK again and you're all done.

This feature allows other users to start your computer and use the account that you establish to automatically log on. Enabling auto logon makes your computer more convenient to use, but can pose a security risk since anyone can just turn the machine on and access your files.
