All of the Windows Vista laptops in the office are using the fingerprint technology to unlock the computer.
Well, fingerprint reader for your computer’s password is a thing of the past, now you can use your own face to detect and unlock your password.
The software called LemonScreen does just that. Using the built-in camera, it detects whether you are leaving the computer and it automatically locks down the system. When you step in, the camera detects you face and unlocks your system.
Ok, I haven’t tried this one yet; in case you did, make sure you don’t step away from the computer and shave your beard. It might just not detect your face. Or, make sure you don’t go away for a long holiday, those extra 5 to 10 pounds might just give you problems when using your computer.
Go ahead and visit the LemonScreen site.

The Windows Vista Flip 3D Activator
The Windows Vista Flip 3D Activator is a tiny utility for Windows Vista and Windows 7 that greatly enhances the Flip 3D feature by allowing you to control it with your mouse. It allows you to choose one or more corners ("Hotspots") of your desktop, any mouse button, or both, to activate Windows Flip 3D. Once activated, you can use the mouse to select a window.
More details:
1. You can designate one or more corners of your screen as hotspots.
2. You can choose any mouse button you'd like to activate Flip 3D.
3. You can hide the notification icon and forget that it's running.
4. You can set it to automatically start when Windows starts.
5. It's tiny! It only uses about 800k of RAM when running.
System Requirements:
Windows Vista or Windows 7 with Windows Aero Enabled.
(Does not include Home Basic or Starter editions)
Installation:
1. Unzip the contents of the Zip file to any folder.
2. Run Flip3D_Setup.exe
A Shortcut for Enabling the Aero
As I have written yesterday, there are times where you want to turn on/off your Windows Vista Aero features. Often, users want their aero feature in Windows Vista turned off because of performance issues. But when showing off during a presentation to a user group, you would want to show off the Windows Vista Aero glass. As mentioned, I myself have done it once or twice when I first got my laptop in 2007 excited to show off Windows Vista Aero.
To be able to quickly enable the feature via shortcuts, follow the steps below:
1. Right-click on a location where the pop-up menu appears
2. Click on create shortcut
3. Type “rundll32.exe dwmApi #102”
4. That’s it
That should instantly enable your Windows Vista Aero feature
To be able to disable, follow the steps below:
