Inserting pdf into a latex file

Hi all,
If you have a pdf file and you need to insert it into another pdf file/other files that you created using latex, then you can do two things:

1. Either use the
                \usepackage{pdfpages}
  and then use the
                 \includepdf[scale=0.82]{filename.pdf}
  to insert your pdf

2. You can also use the \includegraphics environment to insert the pdf.


\begin{figure}
 \centering
 \includegraphics[scale=0.8]{filename.pdf}
\end{figure}

The second method was found to be more user friendly and the pdf was automatically aligned to the center, while the first one didnt.

Hope this helped.

How to remove programs that automatically startup with system boot in Windows

Hi,
My Windows had become slow to startup and I sensed that the reason might be Skype that was taking a hell lot of time to start. So I removed it from the startup programs list by following the steps given below:

Type msconfig in Run dialog box and press enter.
Select the Startup programs tab and uncheck Skpye!

Hurray!
