HIDE YOUR DRIVES!

To prevent a drive or any combination of drives from appearing in My Computer, Windows Explorer and/or Internet Explorer, for security purposes in a multiuser environment,
This works with all Windows 95/98/NT4/2000/ME/XP/vista releases.
if you own the computer or have Administrator privileges, add/modify the "NoDrives" (don't type the quotation marks) Binary [REG_BINARY] hex or DWORD [REG_DWORD] value under this Registry key, using Regedit:

Code:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ExplorerGive it a value from the list below to hide the individual drive(s) of your choice (don't type the spaces for Binary):
Format:
Code:Drive Letter ---> Binary Value ---> DWORD Value
A ---> 01 00 00 00 ---> 00000001 B ---> 02 00 00 00 ---> 00000002 C ---> 04 00 00 00 ---> 00000004 D ---> 08 00 00 00 ---> 00000008 E ---> 10 00 00 00 ---> 00000010 F ---> 20 00 00 00 ---> 00000020 G ---> 40 00 00 00 ---> 00000040 H ---> 80 00 00 00 ---> 00000080 I ---> 00 01 00 00 ---> 00000100 J ---> 00 02 00 00 ---> 00000200 K ---> 00 04 00 00 ---> 00000400 L ---> 00 08 00 00 ---> 00000800 M ---> 00 10 00 00 ---> 00001000 N ---> 00 20 00 00 ---> 00002000 O ---> 00 40 00 00 ---> 00004000 P ---> 00 80 00 00 ---> 00008000 Q ---> 00 00 01 00 ---> 00010000 R ---> 00 00 02 00 ---> 00020000 S ---> 00 00 04 00 ---> 00040000 T ---> 00 00 08 00 ---> 00080000 U ---> 00 00 10 00 ---> 00100000 V ---> 00 00 20 00 ---> 00200000 W ---> 00 00 40 00 ---> 00400000 X ---> 00 00 80 00 ---> 00800000 Y ---> 00 00 00 01 ---> 01000000 Z ---> 00 00 00 02 ---> 02000000
Example:
Code:To hide drives D, E, Y and Z give "NoDrives" this Binary value:
18 00 00 03
Where: D + E = 18 and Y + Z = 03 (cumulative values).
NOTE: These numbers are in HEXadecimal. Example: to hide drives A, B, C and D, use 0F, NOT 15, when cumulating multiple drives.
Show all drives (A to Z) "NoDrives" Binary value:
00 00 00 00
Hide all drives (A to Z) "NoDrives" Binary value:
ff ff ff 03You can also do this by using TweakUI, one of the Microsoft Power Toys for Windows 9x/NT4/2000/ME + MS IE 4/5/6 [110 KB, free, unsupported].Use TweakUI with caution,ONLY AFTER BACKING UP YOUR REGISTRY!
Open Control Panel -> TweakUI -> My Computer tab -> check to show or uncheck to hide the desired drive boxes -> click OK/Apply.Windows default is to show ALL local and remote (network) drives: A to Z.

Run program as different user

today i am here with another simple tricks
You can lock your XP workstation with two clicks of the mouse.
Create a new shortcut on your desktop using a right mouse click, and enter 'rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation' in the location field. Give the shortcut a name you like.
That's it -- just double click on it and your computer will be locked.
And if that's not easy enough,

Windows key + L will do the same.

Run program as different user

You can run a program as a different user without logging out and back in again. *Right click the icon,*select Run As... and enter the user name and password you want to use.
This only applies for that run.
The trick is particularly useful if you need to have administrative permissions to install a program, which many require.

Note: that you can have some fun by running programs multiple times on the same system as different users, but this can have unforeseen effects.

Makeyour PC faster

in preivous post i written about How To Speed Up A Slow Computer and Makeyour PC faster !!!! Guaranteed !!! and today i am here with new articale that is Makeyour PC faster !!!! for advance user !!!

1. Take a look under the hood (for IDE owners). How are your IDE devices configured? If you have more than 1 hard drive, put the master hard drive on the primary IDE channel and the secondary hard drive on the secondary IDE channel (most motherboards have two IDE channels).
2. Place all CDROM drives, DVD readers etc. on the secondary IDE channel (or SCSI bus, etc). This will reduce I/O contention with your master hard drive which should have your OS and apps installed...
3. Remember when I mentioned the location of the swap file? OK, if you have 2 hard drives and you have one on the primary IDE channel and the other on the secondary IDE channel, move the swap file to a partition ON THE SECOND hard drive (on the secondary IDE channel). This will greatly improve system performance as the PC can write to the swap file while loading and running OS and system commands without I/O contention on the primary IDE channel!
4. Take a look under the hood (for SCSI owners) What kind of SCSI do you have? If it's the newer Ultra 160/320 etc cards then guess what? Any devices placed on the same bus will automatically default to the slowest drive on the chain...this means that if you have say, an Ultra 160 SCSI card, and it has an Ultra 160 drive (capable of transferring 160 mb/sec) on the same chain as a SCSI cdrom drive (capable of only 40 mb/sec) then the whole bus slows down to the 40 mb/sec speed...use different chains for the slower devices and maximize those hard drives!
5. Run a utility like WCPUID and check the settings...is your CPU/front speed bus/AGP port running as fast as they should be? If not, check your drivers and BIOS configuration options. Also, are all of your chipset features enabled? If not, then enable them! (usually done in your BIOS!)
6. Dig in to the BIOS...check settings like boot order, for example...is it checking the floppy first? Change this! Select your order to reflect the hard drive first, then CD, then floppy for a noticeable boot time improvement. Also disable any non-used on board peripherals...for instance, - does your motherboard come with an on-board NIC card? Guess what, if you don't use that NIC card and it is enabled it will eat up valuable CPU cycles and can be detrimental to your systems' performance. DISABLE THAT MUTHA! Also, see if you can play with memory timing and CPU clock frequencies (NOTE! This is for expert users only!) Set these timings to "Aggressive" and see what happens in your games and apps...Also, check to see what your video aperature is set to. If you have a video card with 128 megs of on-baord memory, your aperature should be set to this amount too. Read the BIOS owner manual for further non-general performance tricks or improvements! Do you have the latest BIOS firmware version?
7. Under hardware properties, check to see that everything is working properly, and fix any hardware contention issues. You'll see the dreaded yellow exclamation point (!) beside any hardware componenet that is not working correctly.
8. Evaluate the potential for system/hardware upgrades...usually, the best bang for the buck is adding memory so buy all that you can afford (don't go much above 512 megs for Win 98 or ME). If you have a motherboard with an 8x - capable AGP port but you are using an older 4x video card, consider upgrading to an 8x card. You get the idea here...
9. Quit using software pigs like Norton system utilities, etc. These place files everywhere and can be a real system resource hog on lower end PCs.
10. Did I mention to make a good backup? Do it now! Also, while you're at it, run a good virus program with the latest definitions.
There are more options to make your system faster, such as overclocking, etc. but (just about) everything I've mentioned in this tech post costs you nothing and will result in faster system performance! Good luck and if you have any questions on how to do anything mentioned here, ask a knowledgeable friend or consult a book, - don't mess up something trying to do something you are not sure of!
Good luck and I'd like to dedicate this post to all of reader.

Makeyour PC faster !!!! Guaranteed !!!

It'S REaly big problem that our computer working slow.

in preivous post i written about How To Speed Up A Slow Computer and today i am here with some tricks which might be help so try this and if you know more than ples write in comment box, ok ok i am not taking more time lets start follow this simple step

1. First, run a scandisk or checkdisk. Let Windows fix any errors.
2. Run a disk cleanup utility...this will flush your temporary internet folder, trash can, temp system files, etc.
3. Delete any garbage files or data...if possible, run a Duplicate File Finder program.
4. Run Defrag on all partitions (NOTE: run this after you have deleted all trash and excess files!)
5. Run a registry cleaner utility and delete or get rid of any orphaned entries in that registry.
6. use active desktop and save some space. read my previus post (Use active desktop to save memory used by wallpapers )
7. Under XP, you can tell Windows to use Classic Style on your desktop, - this will remove the neat single click and internet-style desktop but for lower end systems this will improve performance in other areas, such as gaming and multi-tasking.
8. Run msconfig and under startup and only keep the programs that are essential to load in the tray icon (and hence stay resident in memory). Uncheck anything else non-essential, like an ATI or Nvidia control panel, Quicktime utility, Real Audio, etc.
9. Upgrade drivers! Check for the latest BIOS, video, motherboard, sound, etc drivers from the manufacturers. Alot of my friends had chipsets on their motherboard that had advanced disk management capabilities or AGP port settings but the drivers weren't loaded for them so they were never being used. A simple upgrade realized a noticeable difference. For instance, they didn't have the latest driver for their AGP port so it was set to 1x, instead of being used at 4x!
10. (OK, so this won't speed up your PC but it could save you alot of time and trouble later on!) After making all these improvements, make a working backup! XP users can also use System Restore...
ok so this 10 point really help you.if you have any sugestion so plese write in comments

Open Notepad
fill in the notepad:
Code:ren *.bmp *.rarOfcourse, you have to edit these two extensions to fit the files you want to convert. Save this file as renamer.bat and run it in the directory where you want to rename your downloads.

Make Mp3 Files Smaller Without Losing Quality

if you have mp3 songs in your pc or mobile than it will take more space of your hard drive, and if you compress than it will loss the quality of it so now what to do?

anwser is so simple just read this arcticale

If you don't have a copy of MusicMatch Jukebox, download it from musicmatch.com. The "Plus" version has more features and burns CDs faster, but the free version works just fine for converting files

follow this step to convert your Mp3 Song Without Losing Quality:

• 
  
  Install music match box and then restart your computer if it asks.


• 
  
  open music matchbox and click file convert files


• 
  
  in the bottom right hand corner called 'destination type' change it to mp3 pro.


• 
  
  you can edit the bitrate but the higher the bitrate the bigger the size


• 
  
  choose the songs you want to convert and click start
  

*if you want to try something different repeat step one and 2 and instead of making the destintion type mp3 pro make it 'mp3pro vbr'
again the lower the setting the smaller the size.

Use active desktop to save memory used by wallpapers

• 
  
  When you choose a wallpaper using the standard method (selecting a background on the desktop tab, in the properties window), Windows converts this image to a huge .bmp file (even if you selected a .jpg). Then instead of having a nice 220K wallpaper, you get a 3,15MB wallpaper. To get rid of this, try using active desktop's web capabilities, like this:


• 
  
  Right click on your desktop and select "properties", then select the "desktop" tab.


• 
  
  Click on "Customize Desktop".


• 
  
  Select the "Web" tab and click on "New..."


• 
  
  Browse for your favorite image and click OK when you are done.


• 
  
  Make sure "Lock desktop items" is uncheck.


• 
  
  Click OK, and OK again.


• 
  
  Now your image is like another window. Drag it to where you want and then right clik over it.


• 
  
  Select "arrange icons by" and the check "Lock Web Items on Desktop".


• 
  
  That's it. Now you have a "low memory usage wallpaper".

With this you can make interesting things, like using various small wallpapers, or even animated ones!! (you can select an animated .gif too!!). Simply select various images, and when you click OK, drag all them to its right location, and lock the content again.

Mozilla Firefox

Today we talking About one of the Best web Browsers Mozilla Firefox
Normaly pepale are using Microsoft's Internet Explorer, Microsoft's Internet Explorer is one of the best Browsers there is loats of features are bilts in to it.
Given the steady stream of security alerts associated with Microsoft's Internet Explorer, it should come as no surprise that many organisations and end users are actively looking at alternative browsers.
But Today we takling about one of the best web Browsers that is Mozilla Firefox.
However, for many users Internet Explorer is so intricately bound with Windows and their experience of the Web that the idea of looking at an alternative fills them with dread. Primary questions are 'will installing a new browser break Windows?' and 'how many sites will break or stop working without IE?'
High on the list of alternatives is the open-source Mozilla Firefox browser, which has the advantages of being both free and under continuous active development. This review will look both at how Firefox compares to Internet Explorer and also whether there are actually any problems with it coexisting with Windows.
First, installation of Firefox is a breeze. Simply download it from the Mozilla Web site (Download Now ), double-click on the executable and off you go. The install process is straightforward and for users of IE it includes the option to import existing favourites and other settings
You are prompted to make Firefox the default browser and that's it, ready to go. Note that installing Firefox does not uninstall the existing IE installation, which remains fully functional as before, even when it's no longer the default browser.
Once loaded, Firefox looks Reasonably similar to IE, with the familiar toolbar for actions such as back, next, refresh page, plus an address bar, etc. In use the interface is similar to IE; there is very little to re-learn and what there is soon becomes second nature. However there are some important differences and some definite improvements.
First, and most immediately obvious, is that Firefox allows for tabbed browsing. This means that you can have multiple Web pages open in the browser, which uses a tabbed pane to switch between them. It means no longer having to clutter the task bar with multiple copies of the browser while looking at different pages.
This is only one of a number of improvements over IE's user interface, which is starting to show its age. File downloading becomes simpler, with the option of downloading files to a standard location, the functionality to pause downloads, housekeep downloaded files and so on.
The handling of favourites is also good, with the option to automatically track changes to favourite pages so that you can be alerted when a page is updated. Pop-up ad blocking is also included by default. It also has to be said that Firefox looks much nicer too, at least in our opinion. In practice most sites render in Firefox as they do in IE. In a few cases there are minor differences, but on the whole the actual experience is very similar. No problems were experienced in testing on banking sites, e-commerce or other Web applications.
The good news is that this too was a painless experience. With Firefox set as the default browser there were no problems on Windows 98, 2000 and XP. It was possible to use IE for those rare occasions when it was needed for ActiveX and to stick to Firefox for the rest of the time.
Mozilla - Firefox features -
The transition to Mozilla Firefox is a painless experience, and you gain not just a more secure system but a friendlier and more useful way to surf the Web. The full version 1.0 release will be available soon, but even in its current form Firefox is an excellent browser.

USB Virus Protection - Stop USB Pen Drives from Automatically Launching Viruses

USB drives have become a big problem in offices,colleges,hostels. Plug it in and In case your antivirus fails to detect a malicious file or virus in the USB then, the USB drive can be made to automatically start a program the moment it is plugged in. And this is exactly where USB Firewall come into the picture.
USB Firewall alerts a user when a USB peripheral tries to auto start a potentially malicious file. You can then delete the file with the delete button.

As soon as USB FireWall is launching, it works in background task, its window is shown only when one program tries to launch out automatically from an USB peripheral. USB FireWall is a freeware and its functionality is limited, if ever the malicious program is already present in your system, it tries to stop it but a patch or an Antivirus program is much more adapted to this kind of problem.
Just remember to start USB Firewall before you plug a USB into your PC. A must have tool if you don’t have an antivirus. It is Free

How To Format USB Flash Memory Drive From FAT 32 To NTFS File System

• Can’t format USB mass storage drive? How to format USB thumbdrive from FAT32 to NTFS file system and what are the benefits? Read on if you want to know how to format your USB Flash Memory, there are two simple ways of performing the formatting task, before we proceed with the tutorial, lets have a look at the benefits of having NTFS over FAT32:
• NTFS Pro:Allows single file sizes larger than 2 gb (FAT32 doesn’t )NTFS file system lets you to add allow and deny permissions on individual files and folders for specific Windows users.Encrypting of files is possible.Better file compression than FAT32 therefore save space on your USB drive.
• NTFS Con:

1. Windows older than 2000 cannot read NTFS file systems,
2. nor can most Linux systems.
3. Slower reading and writing if ‘file indexing service’ is not enabled.
