Welcome to TechProceed

It seems like these days you can learn just about anything online for free, but of course some of that information is better than others. The good news is there are plenty of reputable places to educate yourself online for free, and here’s a TechProceed.com's compiled list of 20 of them to get you started. 1. Coursera The coolest thing about Internet learning is that you can take college courses which in the past were only available to people who forked over immense sums of money to attend elite colleges.  Coursera  brings a bunch of those classes together into one site, offering nearly 400 courses ranging from Introduction to Guitar from Berklee College of Music to Constitutional Law from Yale. Courses typically include videos and certain coursework (such as online quizzes) that must be completed in a certain amount of time, as these courses are monitored by a professor. Stop by regularly to see what’s new, or search for topics that interest you can put them on a watc...

Ever try to delete, move, or rename a file only to get a Windows system warning with something like one of these messages? "Cannot delete file: Access is denied" "There has been a sharing violation" "The source or destination file may be in use" "The file is in use by another program or user". "Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use" One of the best ways to handle locked files or folders is to use the free Microsoft program Process Explorer. Here is how to use it to find out what program, DLL, or handle is using a file or folder. You will need to run as administrator. How to find out what program is using a file In Windows 7 or 8, the system message may tell you what program is using the file. If it doesn’t or if you are using Windows XP, there is a simple way to find the program: Open Process Explorer, running as administrator. On the toolbar, find the g...

Do you use Gmail, the Chrome browser, or other Google service? Then Google may be keeping a record of every search query you make. That’s right; if you have a Google account, Google may know everything you ever looked for on the web. That is, unless you turn off Google’s collecting of all your searches and clean out the web history they’ve kept. Here’s how. Turn off Google Web History Go to the web page https://history.google.com Sign in to your Google account if you aren’t already signed in. Click the gear icon in the upper right corner (example shown in figure on the right). Choose “Settings”’ The page that opens contains the section shown in the figure below. Click the button “Turn off” to stop Google collecting the data. If you change your mind, you can always turn Web History back on. Delete items in Google Web History Previously collected data will still be there. To remove it, click the link contained in the word “delete” in the sentence, “You can...

Sure, it’s handy that your smartphone can remember and fill in usernames and passwords for your various web accounts. But it also means anyone else with access to your handset can log in to your most sensitive accounts, too. Indeed, the more often you tap “yes” when your iPhone or Android phone asks “Would you like to save this password?”, the more saved passwords you have sitting in your pocket—and that could lead to big trouble if your precious smartphone ever lands in the wrong hands. A good rule of thumb is to select “Never for this site” or “Not now” when your phone offers to save passwords for your most important accounts, such as your online banking site. But what if you’ve already saved passwords for more sites than you can count? In that case, you might consider starting fresh by wiping all the web passwords from your iPhone or Android phone’s memory. You might want to think twice before saving passwords for sensitive online accounts on your iPhone. Fo...

Sooner or later it happens to all of us – a Windows program gets hung up and just sits there frozen. You can open Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) and try to close the hung program or use the command line to kill it. But sometimes you might want to see if you can find out why the program got hung up in the first place or you may want to try to unfreeze it. In that case, Windows 7 has just the system tool you need. It’s called Resource Monitor and has many features. One of them is a way to troubleshoot programs that don’t respond. Here is how it works: Open Resource Monitor by entering “resmon” in the Start-Search bar. Alternatively, open Task Manager( keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+Esc), and click on the "Performance" tab and then the button "Resource Monitor".  An example of the window that opens is shown in this figure. In the CPU section of the "Overview" tab, right-click the executable file of the hung application. The listing of the hung appl...
