Backup and Restore windows drivers using Double Driver

When it comes to system restore are reinstall, the first thing that resembles as a huge work is installing drivers.
You have to install one by one from Disc or you have to wait until they are downloaded to get updated drivers.
With this software, this process will become nothing but a single step for all drivers to be installed.
Double Driver makes it easy to backup currently installed drivers in windows.

You should run it as Administrator.

Backup:
Click Backup button to see available drivers.
If nothing is shown, click Scan Current System button to show every installed drivers.
Selecct the drivers you want to backup and click Backup Now button.
Choose the folder you want to store the backup contents and click OK.
It will take few minutes to finish.
After progress completed, the drivers are successfully backedup.
(You can also choose all drivers to be a single backup executable file).

Restore:
Click on the Restore button.
Select the backup folder.
All available packages will be shown.
Select the needed drivers and click Restore Now button.
After progress completion, you may have to restart the system for the changes to take effect.

This is by far, the easiest way to backup and restore our drivers.

Changing double finger tap action and more in Windows 8

Changing double finger tap action and more in Windows 8:
If you have a multitouch supported touchpad in your laptop and windows 8, you can do much customization.
Just make sure that your Synaptics driver version is 16.3.x.
In registry editor:
Open resitry editor (Run>regedit)
Goto HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Software>Synaptics>SynTP>TouchPadPS2
There will be many keys like 2FingerTapAction, 3FingerTapAction,..
If you want to use 2 finger tap as right click,
then edit 2FingerTapAction and give it the value 2
Values   Actions
   1       Left Click
   2       Right Click
   3       Middle Click
   0       No Action(Disable)
   4       Lock cursor position.
you can change any value to any.Just restart to make them effective.
Using Synaptics settings:
Goto mouse properties from control panel or Run>main.cpl


Choose Device Settings Tab and then Settings.

In Synaptics settings, you can choose whatever you want.
Most options have settings icon by which, you can see elaborated settings.
There will be an animation for every option, so it won't be hard to learn.
My personal setting is Disabling reverse scrolling direction.

Better download for slower speeds.

Better download for slower speeds:
Did you know that torrents download slower than normal downloads?
That's because torrents simultaneously upload(seeding) the downloads while downloading.
That's ~20% slower than your normal speed.
I have been using a different method to download torrents(less than 1GB).
Using online torrent managers(zbigz.combytebx.com), you can download torrents to cloud.
Then you can download individual files or whole torrent as a zip archieve.
(Note:Use a download manager like DownThemAll for firefox to download with good speed
and also to resume paused downloads without downloading whole file again and again, if something goes wrong)
