How to Backup Internet Explorer and Firefox Bookmarks, Settings, and History
Your web browser is probably one of the most important applications on your computer so you want to be extra careful about creating backups of your user profile, bookmarks, browsing history, and other browser personalizations in case of a computer crash. It's also useful when you want to migrate to a new computer and don't want to start over with a fresh browser profile.
For Internet Explorer users, the eponymously-named Internet Explorer Backup can help you backup and restore your favorites, dialup accounts, cookies, passwords, and other browser settings. You can also schedule automated backups on a daily, monthly, or weekly basis.
On the other hand, if you're using Mozilla Firefox, MozBackup can create backup files of your Firefox profile, bookmarks, extensions, cache, and other settings. You can also use it to backup your emails and contacts if you use Thunderbird.

Disable Automatic Restart after Windows Update
Are you annoyed that after Windows Update installs upgraded software and patches, it keeps asking you to reboot your computer? If you don't stop it, it even automatically shuts your computer down so you could lost valuable work that you forgot to save.
IntelliAdmin has created a very simple tool that lets you disable the automatic reboot "feature" permanently. Auto Reboot Remover simply asks you whether you want to enable or disable automatic restart.
As another way, if you'd rather disable the reboot reminder manually every time it shows up, you can go to the command line (Start->Run and type in "cmd"), and type in "net stop wuauserv". This only works for 24 hours though.
