WinCustomize Charity/Subscription Drive Winding Down

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

There is just over a day left in the WinCustomize Charity/Subscription Drive.  For the last several weeks a portion of the proceeds from a subscription or sale of a premium desktop skin would go to the Child’s Play charity.  There has been a great response, but the end of the drive is coming up and there is still some time to help.

Giving a gift subscription or desktop skin is a perfect last minute gift for just about anyone, especially someone who lives far away as the gift can be delivered  almost instantly.

For more information visit the WinCustomize Charity/Subscription Drive page.

Holiday Logons for Vista

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

I recently showed you some really cool Christmas cursors for your desktop, so this week I thought I would give some recommendations for holiday logon screens for Windows Vista. The logon screen is what you see when you logon and logoff your Windows desktop.

It’s very easy to change and create your own logons using a free application called LogonStudio Vista. There is an XP version as well, but today I am going to feature some Vista logons.
