When you have a new device or gadget, you will often feel excited to use it. It’s just like when you were a child and your parents gave you a new toy. You feel overjoyed and you’re excited to play with it as soon as you’re home. In the case of Pocket PCs, the excitement is always there but some of the new owners of the mobile device are a bit disappointed when they encounter speed and stability issues.

If you don’t want to experience any problems in using your Pocket PC, make sure that you use a guide to maintain your device’s slickness. Just like in the case of registry tweaks or system, you have to backup some of your important files because you can never tell when something goes wrong. Use this guide so that you can use your new Pocket PC with ease:

• Disable the menu animation (Windows)

If you want to keep your Pocket PC zippy, try switching off the eye candies such as the animation. You can modify through a good registry editor. Change the ‘AniType’ value from 6 to 0. By doing so, menu animation is disabled. Some owners of Pocket PC may find this task a bit daunting and if you feel the same way, you can just use the RegKing freeware. This freeware will allow you to toggle the task easily and it also offers some tweaks.

• Increase the display cache

By increasing the glyph value, you can speed up the Pocket PC display. Remember that this step will consume a lot of system memory. You have to change the ‘limit’ value from the default 8192 to 16384 or 32768. By launching the registry editor, you can browse in order to find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMMGDIGLYPHCACHE. Again, meddling with the registry may be unnerving to some and so you can just use the RegKing instead.

• Don’t minimize, close it.

By tapping on the ‘x’ (close button), the current program is simply minimized. If you frequently do this, the programs you’ve used earlier will continue running which takes up huge valuable memory. You can take advantage of task managers, particularly the freeware, so that you can manage the resources of your device much better.

• Remove the unused programs

The system performance gives importance to the processor speed and so there should be sufficient available memory. Pocket PCs function better if there is more available memory. If you still have programs installed that are not being used, uninstall them as soon as possible. You can do this by going to the Start/Settings/System/Remove Programs and then uninstall them.

• Keep your big files in storage cards

Don’t keep the big files in the main memory; instead, you can move them to storage cards. This task is simply because you just need to cut the files and then paste them to the storage cards. Move the data files only and not the executables because your programs might be broken.

• To free memory, install large programs into an external storage.

Again, whenever possible, large programs should be installed in memory cards or even in non-volatile memory so that the main memory is free to run programs.

You can follow these guides so that you can use your Pocket PC with ease. New owners of Pocket PCs will enjoy using their mobile devices more with the use of the guides.

A Little Separation is a Good Thing

One of the things about a child going to kindergarten that is so new is the feeling of being apart from mom and dad for the first time. For most infants, one of the things they can count on the most is being able to be with mom or dad, all the time. It’s one of those constants that gives a young child that sense of stability and safety from which she can explore the world.

So when that moment comes when the child will be going off to kindergarten, it might be the first time that your child will be away from you for any significant period of time. And that can cause anxiety for the child as well as for mom and dad. But there are things you can do to prepare for that moment of separation so the shock isn’t so sudden and so the child can acclimate to the new world of public school.

The key to reducing the anxiety of that big move to kindergarten is to “test drive” separations from mom and dad in the year or so before kindergarten. Now, it’s fairly normal for a child to be with a babysitter for an evening. Often this is grandma or the child spends the evening with other relatives with whom there is already a fair amount of comfort and security. But you might think about making these kinds of separations more frequent to where the child knows he or she will be away from mom an evening each week indefinitely.

The importance of starting to make separations very routine is that you take away the idea that any separation is a rarity and that the routine is to be with you nonstop every day and every night. But at the same time, a very important event happens each time you drop your baby off at a sitters and she has a successful time away from the home. And that event is when you return to your child, safe and sound and the child begins to understand that mom and dad can go somewhere else, that they are safe while they are gone and that they will come back and take her home.

While this may seem simple to you, it’s a huge breakthrough to the child to come to that realization. And that understanding is crucial because when your baby goes to kindergarten, she will often wonder if mom and dad are alright. So giving her the ability to visualize where her parents are and what they are doing is tremendously helpful for her to feel secure that the world is a safe place and everybody is where they should be.

Giving your infant the ability to “see you” when you are apart is a huge help to that coping they go through as being separated becomes regular when she starts kindergarten and goes there each day. You know you child can visualize mom at home. But if you also let her get a feel for dad at work and be able to “see” him at his office after a nice visit or some time during “bring your child to work day”, then that coping becomes even easier.

By increasing the frequency and length of outings for your child during the last year before kindergarten, her confidence will increase and she will actually see times away from mom and dad as adventures and chances to do new things and have more fun than ever. And when that enthusiasm for trying new things is built up, then you have done a good job of reducing the impact of separation and empowering your child to get out there and be a success in her first year of school and every year thereafter too.
