			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am quite sure you have at least 2-3 programs which you want to start when you turn on your computer. I will show you how in a few an old trick I used for many years, something valuable for me, used to make programs starts when the PC starts.</p>
<p>On your C:/ partition exists a folder from which the system initiate programs automatically at start up. This folder is named <strong>Startup</strong>, obviously, isn&#8217;t? What you have to do is to put in that folder the shortcuts from the programs you want to start when windows boot.</p>
<p>The way to find out Startup folder on my computer is:</p>
<p><strong>C:\Documents and Settings\John Smith\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://www.kensfi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/run_programs_in_startup_kensfi.jpg" alt="run_programs_in_startup_kensfi" title="run_programs_in_startup_kensfi" width="495" height="373" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-660" /></p>
<p>It should be something similar on your computer. Open Windows explorer or Total commander (I use it for a while) and follow the steps.<br />
Once you found it, create the shortcuts for the programs you want to run when you open the computer. To create a shortcut, right click into that Startup window / New / shortcut and locate the .exe file you want to create the shortcut. Add as many shortcuts you want.<br />
To remove a program from running at the computer startup follow the same path and delete the shortcuts you don&#8217;t want or press Windows button + R, write <strong>msconfig</strong>, go to startup tab and deselect the programs you don&#8217;t want to run when computer starts.</p>
<p><strong>Warning</strong>: in Startup folder is a file: desktop.ini<br />
Be sure you do not delete that one! Even it&#8217;s there just to customize this folder, in my opinion is better if you let it there.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am not 100% sure that this method is working with all existing software but I am convinced that will work for a lot of them. </p>
<p>Running a trial version of a software without expiring can be possible using a small piece of program named RunAsdate which intercepts the kernel API calls that returns the current date and time (GetSystemTime, GetLocalTime, GetSystemTimeAsFileTime), and replaces the current date/time with the date/time that you specify. This program is working only in 32bit environment. The best part: it&#8217;s FREE!</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s get started. Give it a search in your search engine for: RunAsdate, download it and run it. </p>
<p><img src="http://www.kensfi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/runasdate1.gif" alt="run_a_trial_program_forever_without_expiring_runasdate" title="run_a_trial_program_forever_without_expiring_runasdate" width="560" height="215" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-581" /></p>
<p>Open the application you want to hack, chose a date and time you want the application to run all the time you open it and create a shortcut desktop which you will use it to open that program from now.</p>
<p>Disclaimer: you are doing this on your responsibility. I am not responding for any consequence.</p>
