For me, scrolling too much and typing long text on mobiles is very irritating but I love using WhatsApp for chatting and sharing whatever junk I have to share.
I was searching for ways as to how I can use WhatsApp on my computer. I found a Chrome application ‘WhatsChrome’ that replicates my WhatsApp ID to my computer.
To install it on your computer just open https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/apps and type ‘WhatsChrome’ or ‘WhatsApp‘ in search box and hit Enter.
It will display some related apps. I have tested ‘WhatsChrome’ and ‘WhatsApp Web Wrapper’. Both are almost same apps developed by different developers.
To use them, you just need to click on ‘+ Add to Chrome’ button and rest everything will be done automatically. On every run after installation, it asks to scan the barcode displayed on your computer screen. For scanning this bardcode, open WhatsApp on your phone. Go to Menu -> WhatsApp Web option. It will open phone’s camera. Place the phone in front of the screen to capture the barcode.
Scanning is quick. Once scanned, it will open WhatsApp on your computer screen. You may use this app to send and read the messages.
It will keep your phone in sync and for that, phone must be connected to internet. If you are not connected to internet, you may not use WhatsApp on your computer.

When looking at the plethora of tiles on your Start screen, the view can get stagnant, despite all the pretty colors.This is where Live Tiles come in. They offer real-time data right on your Start screen, and you don’t need to open any apps. For example, the Weather tile will show you the current conditions, and Mail will show you the subject of the latest message you’ve received.
You can customize which apps are live and which aren’t by right-clicking on the tiles. A settings bar on the bottom will pop up with an option to turn the Live Tile on or off. Simply select the preferred option, and you’re all set. Note, however, that not all apps have a live, real-time data-streaming option.

How can you help protect your data from loss, theft, or hackers? The answer: BitLocker.
Improved for Windows 7 and available in the Ultimate and Enterprise editions, BitLocker helps keep everything from documents to passwords safer by encrypting the entire drive that Windows and your data reside on. Once BitLocker is turned on, any file you save on that drive is encrypted automatically.
BitLocker To Go—a new feature of Windows 7—gives the lockdown treatment to easily-misplaced portable storage devices like USB flash drives and external hard drives.
Encryption is a way to enhance the security of a message or file by scrambling the contents so that it can be read only by someone who has the right encryption key to unscramble it. For example, if you purchase something from a website, the information for the transaction (such as your address, phone number, and credit card number) is usually encrypted to help keep it safe. Use encryption when you want a strong level of protection for your information.
Encrypting File System (EFS) is a feature of Windows that you can use to store information on your hard disk in an encrypted format. Encryption is the strongest protection that Windows provides to help you keep your information secure.
New files are automatically encrypted when you add them to a drive that uses BitLocker. However, if you copy these files to another drive or a different PC, they’re automatically decrypted.
BitLocker can encrypt the drive Windows is installed on (the operating system drive) as well as fixed data drives (such as internal hard drives). You can also use BitLocker To Go to help protect all files stored on a removable data drive (such as an external hard drive or USB flash drive).
Navigating the Control Panel has never been the easiest of processes, however Windows 7 and Windows 8 has tried to improve the situation by equipping the Control Panel window with its own search box. And, just as you might think, if you enter part of an applet name – “Display”, say – then matching applets will be listed right away.
You don’t have to be quite so specific about what you type, though, because Search generally does a very good job of figuring out what’s relevant. Entering “hacker” displays the Firewall applet, for instance, while typing “virus” provides a link to Windows Defender. It’s all very helpful, but keep in mind that you don’t have to launch Control Panel to get these results: simply type your key words into the Start Menu search box and the same links will appear.
