You might not be knowing but all Mozilla based web-browser's including Firefox prefetch websites and images that you might be visiting next, for faster loading times as instructed by webmasters, prefetching is enabled by default and webmasters can make the web-browser download webpages and images in-advance (including third-party content) using rel="prefetch" in their code.

You might want to disable this behavior if your ISP charges you pay-per-byte for network bandwidth or you are privacy conscious and don't want to get cookies/images from websites that you yourself never actually visited, to disable simply follow the instructions below:

1. Type about:config in your Firefox address bar and press Enter.
2. Type network.prefetch-next in filter text box.
3. Change the value to false as shown below.

If you are a fairly advanced computer user you must be using DOS command prompt now and then to get things done, in this post you will see how to get copy and paste functionality in the DOS box.

Process Lasso is an advanced task manager with ability to keep tab on resource hoggers resulting in system lockups and crashes, this small utility sits in your system tray and kicks in when certain user defined conditions are met like an application eating up more than 60% of your CPU cycles, Process Lasso will then avoid system lockup or crash by dynamically lowering process priority of the particular process.

Author Description:

Process Lasso is a unique new technology intended to automatically adjust the allocation of CPU cycles so that system responsiveness is improved in high-load situations. It does this by dynamically temporarily lowering the priorities of processes that are consuming too many CPU cycles, there-by giving other processes a chance to run if they are in need. This is useful for both single and multi-core processors. No longer will a single process be able to bring your system to a virtual stall.

In addition, Process Lasso offers capabilities such as default process priorities, default process CPU affinities, termination of disallowed processes, and logging of processes executed. With Process Lasso you essentially create rules to manage processes running on your system. For example:

1. Examples Make notepad.exe run at below normal priority each time its launched.
2. Make firefox.exe run only on CPU #1 each time its launched.
3. When any process is consuming 35% or greater of the CPU for 1.5 seconds or more and the total system CPU usage is 95% or greater, lower that process's priority until it returns to 5% CPU utilization.
