HOW TO DISABLE GOOGLE CHROME AUTO UPDATE

Once when I checked process explorer I found google updater running. Later I found that it is because google chrome in my browser is updating. But I dont wanted to update a program many times. So i disabled auto update by typing " about:pluging " (without quotes) in adress bar of google chrome. Then disabled google update in that page. You can update your browser manually anytime you want by by clicking setting button at top of the browser and going to about google chrome.



UPDATE : Sometimes chrome starts to update again even after doing this trick. So you need to do something more to avoid auto update. First go to C;/program files/google (or any disc where google chrome is installed ) and delete the update folder there. than go to C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome or C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Google\Chrome and delete update folders from there also. If update folder is not there, don't do anything. Now its done. Chrome can't auto update anymore.
















HOW TO DISABLE YAHOOAUUPDATER.EXE

As many website says it is not any virus or malware. It updates yahoo softwares like yahoo messenger to its latest version. However you can disable it by disabling it in msconfig. Or you can uninstall it by going to C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\yahooupdater. I think unistalling it is a better option. You can update messenger later manually whenever you want.

How to play xvid files or movies

Just download and install VLC media player from filehippo and you will be able to play any video easily. . Or you can download codecs and play in windows media player also. But I think using VLC player is a better option because it supports many video formats. Its a free software also.
