Connectify: Windows 7 as WiFi router

Navigating the other day by the network of networks. I saw a feature of Windows 7 that among other things, would make any computer with a WiFi network card into a wireless access point for other devices. For some reason, this technology known as "Virtual WiFi" is not available in the final versions of Windows 7, but its core functionality remains dormant, waiting for someone to take it. That's where it enters Connectify, reactivating an application that enables this feature and turn any laptop or computer with a wireless network card in a software-based router that almost everything that is compatible with WiFi you can connect.

For some it may seem a luxury, but anyone with a laptop or a WiFi enabled mobile quickly understand how annoying it is to use a physical cable to obteneracceso Internet. In fact, I met many people who must connect the ADSL modem to your notebook, and after putting to test their mental health after connecting and disconnecting the modem dozens of times, looking for ways to obteneracceso Internet wirelessly. In the case of WiFi, it needed the intervention of a router or access point towards it, but Windows 7 would have a function that would avoid the need. This feature was known as Virtual Wifi, and was one of the most anticipated features of the new operating system. For some reason, and using that classic style that shows only Microsoft, Virtual WiFi was wiped off the map, and all laptop users were left with the desire to turn their systems into software-based routers. At least until now.

Windows 7 may not have had to Virtual WiFi in its final version, but the code base itself is available in the operating system. Connectify does the job and fill the gap between the code base and WiFi unVirtual functional, and makes a very comfortable user interface. The rest of the process includes naming the virtual router, password, and specify the wireless connection that will serve as the interface. Obviously, having a wireless network card is a must for Connectify work, whether in a netbook, notebook, or a computer through additional unatarjeta (not forgetting that there are motherboards with integrated WiFi). The program is currently in beta, and according to his official website has some limitations, but is likely to be polished as time goes on.

There should be no kind of protest from Microsoft, because it only accesses a Connectify asleep deWindows function 7, and makes no change in low-level operating system. And for those who have doubts about whether Connectify is safe, the routervirtual uses a WPA2 password-protected, and such protection can not be disabled. On the one hand, this makes those devices that support WPA2 can not connect through Connectify, but from another point, the network is kept secure. Connectify was the first program to reactivate the role deVirtual WiFi in Windows 7, however, is likely to see other applications with additional features and other security parameters, as long as Microsoft does not throw a nuclear bomb and delete all the map

Windows 7 Starter, Hidden function

As we know, Windows 7 Starter is the shortened version of Windows 7 for netbooks, with few features cut. Now it seems Rafael Rivera, Within Windows has discovered that at least one of the functions that are disabled only found hidden.

The conclusion is that might appear other ways to activate the functions that Microsoft has hidden from the user of the Starter version of Windows 7. Has anyone managed to do with some other function?

With the arrival of Windows 7, Microsoft claimed to offer an operating system that worked without problems in the portable type Netbook. For this type of equipment offers the Starter version, a type of system that has some features disabled, such as the possibility of changing the wallpaper and others, such as Ad-hoc networking. It is wireless point to point established between two computers.

But Rafael Rivera, Within Windows blog responsible discovered that a software preinstalled by the manufacturer of a netbook networking allowed ad-hoca Despite the limitations imposed by Microsoft. In fact the boys have been tested muywindows.com. Although the networking section of the center of networks and shared resources not see the possibility of creating an ad-hoc connection, if we write ad-hoc "in the form of the start menu can start the wizard to create this types of networks without problems.

Descubriento This highlights the possibility that some of the shortfall in the Starter version of Windows 7 are not such limitations, but simply did not appear as options in the configuration windows.

How To Create Screenshots Selective in Windows 7

Every day I find more things for Windows 7 that are very, very well. One is the possibility to cut sections of the screen and save them in an image.

Before, every time I wanted to do the same, I had to capture the entire screen with the key "impr pag", then go to Paint, paste the image and cut it by hand. But now things are much easier to use "haircuts" that incorporates Windows 7.

Let's see how this new utility functions:

To open the program, we give the start menu (or the Windows key with almost all keyboards) and typed "cuts."

We will get this window:

If now we place on arrow to the right of "new", we choose to want to cut:

Cut Free Form: Cut out a screen area that you define. Only cut what is inside the selection.

Rectangular Snip: Drag the mouse and draw a rectangle. Whatever is inside the rectangle will be your cut.

Window Trim: This is most useful for me.

Full Screen Clipping: This is not necessary to explain it, right? Trim any screen, like the button "impr pag"

I hope you be of help. A mi me is very helpful when I have to document a practice and I have to make several captures images to put them into a document. Or to write the entries in this blog.
