I've been hearing nice things from readers about my column at WindowsSecrets. (Thank you!)

I've recently more or less given up on the very, very short length that Brian and I initially tried. It required leaving out too much good information and/or writing in a style so telegraphic as to be mechanical and dust-dry. As a reader myself, I don't like to read stuff written that way. And I gotta tell you, as a writer, it's no fun to write that way, either.

So, items are now longer and more in the classic "LangaList" style that some of you may remember. It feels good to be back in that groove again, and from the positive comments I've gotten, at least some of you like it, too. :-)

Anyway, my new column this week covers:

One-Step Windows Reinstalls
Imagine: Click your mouse once and take a coffee break. When you return, Windows and all your apps are perfectly reinstalled, tuned, customized and ready to rock.

Dual-booting Vista and XP

Missing disk space

More free bandwidth-monitoring tools

  1. I wondered what happened. The writing was not you as "we" all knew you. It was as though there was no heart in it. Thankfully, that did not last long! I am also glad that you feel good about what you are doing. Keep up the good work.

  2. Fred, I appreciate your Windows Secrets more than you'll probably ever know. Please keep it up. Longer is definately better.

    Now we need to get you out on a m/c road trip!!
