Derek Alfonso's Tech Tips and Hobbies

My name is Derek Alfonso, I am a technical consultant by day, the host of a radio show called The Power of Information on the America First Radio Network, and I'm an audio engineer and an accomplished producer of music videos and feature films, including Assistant Director, Composer, Steadicam Operation, Editing and Special Effects credits. Enjoy some of my (hopefully) insightful Tech Tips or my (seemingly) random posts about hobbies like MMA, Skiing, or Scuba diving.

Uninstall IE8 from Vista

You've done it now... You've added Microsoft's latest Internet Explorer (version 8) to Vista in its beta form and can't figure out how to remove it?

Well, so did I, and I figured I'd share with those of you who might have decided to try the development release of IE:

Open the Uninstall Dialog
  1. On the Windows/Start Menu click on Computer or on your desktop double-click My Computer
  2. Then at the top of the window (under the menu bar) in the blue area click 'Uninstall or change a program'
Uninstall Internet Explorer 8 (Following Screenshot Above)
  1. Following the screenshots above first click on 'View installed updates'
  2. Then type 'Internet' into the search bar at the top right so it finds Internet Explorer 8
  3. Select Internet Explorer 8 from the list and click the 'Uninstall' button on the bar just above it
  4. Wait for the uninstallation to complete, you will be asked to restart, and will be IE8 free

Read your Linux partition from Windows Vista or XP

If you're like me and want performance from Linux but can't get away from Windows so you have both installed then this tool is a must for you. It adds native low-level file system support to Windows Vista or XP for the Ext2 file system (the default used in Linux).
