Instantly End all program with one shortcut

Thankfully this problem doesn’t occur as frequently with Windows 7
compared to it’s predecessors, but the odd time it does happen. All is well,
you’re in extreme multitasking mode, running a hundred and one things on 4 different monitors, and then suddenly, your computer seems to have a
processor heartattack. It’s RAM becomes clogged up and nothing happens,
everything just freezes and your stuck there frantically trying to close
everything with your task manager, but nothing is working.
(I know I may be exaggerating slightly here) So what do you do? Wouldn’t it
be handy if you could just click one shortcut, and it ended all your problems
instantly? There is some programs that you can install which claim to do
that, but they’re not much good when your computers frozen, and besides,
thats just more unnecessary software to install.
Why not just have a simple shortcut that kills all the processes instantly
for you, the quickest way to close your programs. Just make sure your
comfortable doing this as it does kill off all the running proccesses, so
everything your doing will be closed immediately, without the chance to save
Simple go to your desktop, right click -> New Shortcut and than paste the
following command into the box that pops up. Be sure to replace the
“windows7news” with your own username
taskkill /F /FI "USERNAME eq windows7news
" /FI "IMAGENAME ne explorer.exe" /FI "IMAGENAME ne dwm.exe"
Then all you have to do is save the shortcut as whatever you want, ie .
” App Killer” and then get a cool icon for it. Windows 7 has the one seen
below at C:\Windows\System32\imageres.dll Just right click on your
shortcut then go to properties and change icon.
Appkiller Instantly End All Programs With One Shortcut So be sure to save
the shortcut on your desktop or in your taskbar for quick access, and next
time you have a program overload, a simple click or double click will sort
it out

how to configure the default save location for libraries in Windows 7
Libraries have been one of the new features in the Windows 7 operating
system that have seen lots of praise from the community. Libraries basically
are virtual folders that display data from one or multiple folders. There are
libraries for music, pictures, videos and general files by default, with options
to add custom libraries as well. The nature of a library makes it behave
different when it comes to saving files in it. We already mentioned that
libraries can contain data of multiple folders, and it does not seem directly
obvious in which folder new data is stored.
Open up Windows Explorer -> Right-click on one of the libraries in the left
sidebar and select Properties from the menu -> library save location How To Configure The Default Library Save Location -> library save location
This opens a new window with information about the selected library.
Among the information are all library locations currently configured with
options to add or remove folders from it, the type of library, and whether the
library should be displayed in the navigation pane -> A checkmark next to a
library location indicates that this library is the default save location for files
that are saved in the library folder -> To change that, simply highlight another
library folder and click the Set save location button -> New files saved in the
library folder are now automatically stored in the selected folder.
