Get to Google faster. Update your default search engine. Sure. No thanks. How to Stop it.

                                  
There is an easy way to stop getting the,

 "Get to Google faster. Update your default search engine.  Sure. No thanks."

message at the top of the Google start page.

...................................................................................

A lot of old stuff still exists out there.  There is an ancient URL for Google that was once used to get to iGoogle.  This URL can be modified to your region and the "Get to Google faster" nuisance message does not appear.

As an example the usual URL for Google Australia is "https://www.google.com.au/".  The nuisance nag always shows at the top of the Google page when I start Internet Explorer.

If I use the URL "http://www.google.com.au/webhp?nord=1" as the start page the nag message does not appear, but the normal Google au search page appears.

Just modify the URL for your region.

If you are in the uk use the URL "http://www.google.co.uk/webhp?nord=1".

No need to download  Adblock 1.3.10. and enter "##DIV#mgmhppd" as a new filter rule.

Just use the URL as set out above.

There we have it.

Happy Interneting

Windows Media Player Is Not on the Default Programs List missing set change add

WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER DOES NOT APPEAR ON MY COMPUTERS DEFAULT PROGRAMS LIST

Many people have this problem and many people use registry cleaners in their normal computer use. However, these registry cleaning programs damage your registry and mess up your happy computer time, especially when you get a seemingly stubborn problem such as this.

The first time you notice a problem is when you try to stream audio, usually from an online radio station by choosing the WMP option on the webpage. A program "tries" to download and play but it just hangs there getting to 15 per cent then going back to zero. The program will play if you choose the Real Player or the Quicktime options, though.

Here is your solution:

Re-instate WMP as the default media player

Follow the instructions and your computer will run like new.

Installing Adobe Macromedia Shockwave Player for Mozilla Firefox
Installing Adobe Macromedia Shockwave Player for Internet Explorer
Installing Macromedia Adobe Flash Player for Internet Explorer
Installing Macromedia Adobe Flash Player for Mozilla Firefox
Installing a Program to Run SWF Files
Disabling UAC for a Program
