A while ago on IBUVIRUS, I published an article on changing your processor name. But recently,I pointed out that the trick only changed the name temporarily.

After a user restarts his computer, the name reverted back to original which is obvious as each time Windows boots, it checks the connected hardware and updates the registry value automatically. So,changing the processor name using the earlier article did not have permanent results.

Thus, the alien processor name you had earlier again reverted back to the boring old one.



Problem: To, make the name change permanent, it was required to update the Processor Name String registry key every time Windows starts. 

Solution: It is very easy to change your processor name permanently by creating a registry key and placing a shortcut to it in the Windows start up folder. To do so, just follow the steps given below:-


Steps :-
1.  Open Notepad.
2.  Copy and paste the exact code given below:-

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor\0]
"ProcessorNameString"="My Processor name 50000MHz"
To change the processor name, edit the part of the code given in blue. Also understand that \0 in the above code should only be present if Windows store your processor name at that location. Open the Registry Editor and navigate to the above mentioned keys to check whether or not to include the \0.

3.  Click on File Menu, click on Save As and select "All Types" in the Save as Type option. Save the file as ProcessorNameChange.reg or *.reg.
4.  Create a new shortcut on your desktop. Enter regedit / S "Location of the .reg file" as the location of the item. For example, enter regedit /S "C:\Processor Name.reg" if your registry file is located in the root of C:\ drive.

5. Copy the created Shortcut file.
6.  Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup (in Windows XP) or toC:\Users\ User-Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup (in Windows 8, Windows 7 and Windows Vista. Also remember that AppData is a hidden folder.)  if C: is your System drive.
7.  Paste the copied file.


This registry file would now execute each time when Windows starts and the Processor Name String would be modified each time. This means that even upon restarting your computer, you will see that the changed processor name is permanent.

THE END

8 Awesome Tips For Freelance Programmers

A freelance programmer can enjoy a nice career. Not only that, he or she can avoid working at a large corporation where they will have to deal with company politics and an eventual ceiling. Of course, it is not all fun and games as a well-trained and hardworkingprogrammer should follow some basic tips if he or she wants to enjoy success in this arena. With that in mind, here are eight tips for freelance programmers.

1. Constant communication:

8 Awesome Tips For Freelance Programmers
When taking on a project, one should communicate with the business as often as possible. This means, when speaking to the client, one should mention any road blocks or any accomplishments. With an open door policy, the programmer will have an easier time keeping clients happy and informed.

2. Educating:

8 Awesome Tips For Freelance Programmers
While most software developers possess a lot of skills and brains, it is wise to attend more computer classes. By continuing the education, a hardworking programmer can learn more and avoid getting left behind by the competition. In fact, this is extremely important as this field is ever-evolving and new coding ideas and techniques come up all the time.

3. Do not sell yourself short:

All-too-often, an independent contractor or business owner will ask for a low wage. When doing this, one will hurt their long-term chances for success. While it is not wise to ask for top dollar, it is beneficial to demand a livable wage. Believe it or not, when dealing with a confident programmer, a company is likely to give in to the financial demands.


4. Home office:

8 Awesome Tips For Freelance Programmers
Whether a person works from home or at the office all the time, they should still have a home office. With this, a programmer can complete tasks without interruption from spouses, children or animals. Without a doubt, this is extremely important as a serious programmer will need to concentrate on the task at hand.

5. Have website and online presence: 

8 Awesome Tips For Freelance Programmers
Now, more than ever, a company owner or contractor should have a website and online presence. With this, a reliable software developer can reach millions of potential clients. At the same time, while making a website, one should keep it simple, straightforward and easy to understand. With this, a programmer can showcase his or her talent for the world to see.

6. Outsource quality assurance: 

8 Awesome Tips For Freelance Programmers
It is not easy for a programmer to check out his or her programs and code. To avoid turning in a bad product, a smart developer should hire a contractor who can check out the code. By taking a few hours to go over everything, a quality assurance analyst can find any issues and report back to the programmer. This is a great idea as one mistake can result in serious problems in the short and long run.






7. Speak up:

Often, a foolish client will want an unrealistic or impractical solution. While the customer is always right, it is still beneficial if a programmer voices his or her concerns. This should not cause a lot of problems as most business owners will willingly give in as they will, usually, trust the programmer. Either way, it is wise to remain assertive when talking about the product.

8. Set schedule:

8 Awesome Tips For Freelance Programmers
It is often tempting for a business owner to set a weird schedule or work nights and weekends. While this is okay at first, a serious programmer who wants to succeed should opt to work a typical 9-5 schedule. This allows other business owners to stay in contact and communicate with the programmer. Since most other entrepreneurs love to work 9 to 5, this is a great way to go above and beyond and offer solid customer support.
