Final Version Of Internet Explorer 9 (RTM) Available for Download

After the release of Internet Explorer 9 RC version on February 10, 2011 finally Microsoft has launched the Final version of Internet Explorer 9 for Windows 7 and Vista operating systems, which you can download from the Beauty of the Web site. Microsoft has decided to drop the support for Windows XP with IE 9 even though XP still has a 55% of market share.

While it may be hard for Microsoft to convince users of Google Chrome and Firefox to make the switch to new Internet Explorer version 9 but there is definitely a significant improvement, both in terms of features and speed, over any of the previous releases. IE9 is a complete rebuild of Microsoft’s popular browser. The improvement in browsing speed, graphics, tabbing, pinning, HTML5 and hardware acceleration are some of the main features of the new Internet Explorer 9.

Microsoft revealed earlier this month that users have downloaded 36 million copies of Internet Explorer 9 since its beta release in September. If you already have the Release Candidate or Beta versions installed, the RTW (release to world) build will be offered via Windows Update. If you don't have the RC or Beta builds installed, you'll have to download it manually.

My Last Words:-

The new internet Explorer 9 is really a good browser with lots of new features and has a very attractive interface as well. Incase you missed, do read Internet Explorer 9 Keyboard Shortcuts, which is quite a handy post. It’s always recommended to have 2 browsers installed in your computer. Incase your primary browser is not working, you can use the other one. Atleast give it a try and then share your comments and suggestions at below page commenting section.

But what if their is a solution to this problem at NO COST. Ofcourse their is!!! (This doesn’t mean that now you can delete your brother secret folders :P) Although there is an option in every windows that the deleted files goes to the Recycle Bin. But unfortunately it doesn’t work for external USB drives, USB flash drives, memory sticks, or mapped drives. Files deleted from these drives doesn’t go into the Recycle Bin. But no worries, i have a solution for this.

Recuva (pronounced "recover") is a freeware Windows utility, which you can use to restore files that have been accidentally deleted from computer. This includes files emptied from the Recycle bin as well as images and other files that have been deleted by user error from digital camera memory cards or MP3 players.

  • Restores files from external ZIP drives , Firewire and USB Hard drives
  • It's fast, tiny and takes seconds to run!
Learn How to Restore Deleted Files (Step By Step):-

1. I will recommend every user to download Portable version of Recuva, (In that case you don’t have to install it in your PC, just run the software from USB)

2. Once downloaded, extract the zip file on your computer (if you downloaded the portable version) or Run the installation by double clicking the file.

3. After installing it in your pc, double click its icon and you will see the software screen as shown in below screenshot

4. Select the type of file you want Recuva to search for. You can select the last option which is “other” which will show all of the deleted files but by selecting a particular file type will save a lot of time and make it easier to find what you are looking for. After selection, Click “Next

5. Now you have to specify where the file was, which will obviously be up to wherever you deleted it from. After selecting the location, Click “Next

6. The next page will ask you whether you want to do a Deep Scan. My recommendation is to not select this for the first scan, because usually the quick scan can find it. You can always go back and run a deep scan a second time. Click “Start

7. And now, you’ll see all of the files deleted from your drive, memory stick, SD card, or wherever you searched. Just right click any file and select “Recover Highlighted” or tick mark the files which you want to recover and then Recover multiple files all at once.





If you are confused with the large number of results, then you can switch to advance view where you can sort the results by the last modified time, so you don’t have to look through quite as many files.

My Last Words:-
Recuva is really a life saver. People who have faced such situations in past when they deleted some important files, know the importance of such softwares. It’s a Freeware Portable software, which i recommend to every pc user to have it. Do post your suggestion about this software and if you have any other software to recommend, then do post it at below page commenting section.
