Here are five reasons I think it’s time you adopted Windows 7
1. It will solve your networking headaches. Windows XP can be a major pain when it comes to connecting networked PCs. Windows 7, thanks in part to HomeGroup, makes it easy-peasy.
2. It’s significantly more secure. Windows XP is like a leaky balsa-wood boat floating in a sea of malware. Windows 7 is more like a battleship. I say this based on experience; I’m running nothing more than Windows 7 and a couple free third-party security tools.
3. It makes finding stuff so much easier. Thanks to features like Libraries and the ubiquitous Search box, you no longer have to waste (as much) time hunting for documents, photos, MP3s, and the like.
4. Windows Media Center is awesome, especially if you pair it with the Ceton InfiniTV 4 card. Seriously, it’s better than TiVo.
5. It’s just…better! Remember, that’s merely my opinion talking, but Windows 7 is packed with little conveniences that make life easier. You don’t fully appreciate them until you switch back to an XP system and your productivity nosedives.
So there you have my five reasons. Do you have more to add? Or do you think Windows XP is just fine, thank you, and I should keep my opinions to myself?

Showing Folder Options Missing in Windows XP
Folder Options missing in windows xp is usually caused by a virus (although the virus did not exist). With the loss of the folder options we can not see or set the attributes of files or folders are hidden, when we really need it.
To restore the folder options to show and working again please try the following:
1. Click Start -> RUN -> type regedit -> click OK
2. Go to the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Explorer
3. See the right hand window, double-click dword NoFolderOptions, change the value data to 0 (zero) ->
Click OK, and Restart your computer to see different.
There is a possibility the way the above does not work for some cases, because the virus uses different ways to remove the folder options.
