A hidden functionality in Windows allows you to right click on a file, select Copy To Folder or Move To Folder, and the move to box will pop up and let you choose a location to either copy or move the file or folder to.

Here’s the quick registry hack to get this working. As usual, back up your registry just in case. You will want to browse down to this key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

Once you are at that key, right click and choose the New Key option:

Now you will double-click on the (Default) value and enter the following:

{C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}

Click OK and continue.


If you want to enable Move To, you will repeat the same steps, except creating a new key named Move To, and using this value:

{C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}

Now when you right click on a file or folder, you should see the following options:

Let’s click Copy To Folder just to see what happens….

If XP will not install from the CD or if you have a new drive with no operating system on it yet try these:


Install Windows XP from the hard drive with Windows 98 already installed:

Boot Windows 98
Insert the XP CD into your CD reader
Explore Windows XP through My Computer
Copy i386 folder to C:\
Go into C:\i386 folder and double click on winnt32.exe to launch the setup from the hard drive

Install Windows XP from DOS (ie. no OS on a new hard drive):

Boot with a Windows 98 Start Up disk
Insert the Windows 98 CD into the CD reader
Run smartdrv.exe from the Win98 directory on the windows 98 CD (file caching)
Type cd.. to back up to the root directory
Insert Windows XP CD into the CD reader
Copy the i386 folder to C:\
Go into C:\i386 folder on C: and type winnt.exe to launch the setup from the hard drive.

There is an easy solution that will allow you to switch between IDE and AHCI in the bios and Windows will boot without any problems. The key is to enable the AHCI driver in Windows before you make the setting change in the BIOS.

For most users this will work:

1. Open Registry Editor and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\msahci.
 
2. Right click on the Start registry DWORD and select Modify.

3. Set the value to 0 and click OK.
4. Now the Start setting should be set to 0.
5. Reboot and enable the AHCI setting in your BIOS.


If you are using a RAID adapter or other interface try the following:

1. Open up Registry Editor and naviage to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\iaStorV OR HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\iaStor.

2. Repeat the steps above.

Not all users will see a major performance improvement with AHCI and a SATA hard drive but NCQ can be very helpful under the right workload. Post your experience and setup in the comments below

# FireFox is faster and can be modified to be even faster with broadband connections.
# FireFox is safer. Since it is not integrated into the operating system it is harder for malicious code like spyware to attack it.
# As a backup for troubleshooting in the event Internet Explorer has a problem

1.Type "about:config" into the address bar (without quotes) and hit Enter.
Scroll down and look for the following entries:

* network.http.pipelining
* network.http.proxy.pipelining
* network.http.pipelining.maxrequests


Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.


2. Alter the entries as follows:

* Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"
* Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"
* Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 50.

This means it will make 50 requests at once.


3. Right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0".
This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts.

Do you need to change your product key so you can activate Windows Vista or Windows 7 properly? You can use a great command line tool that will help you do this very easily. Just follow these steps:

1. Click on the Start Button and type in command prompt so that it shows up on your start menu search list. Right click on the Command Prompt shortcut and select Run As Administrator.
 
2. At the administrator command prompt, type in "slmgr.vbs -ipk "

3. To activate windows after changing the key, run "slmgr.vbs -ato"

Note- This will only reset the Windows Vista activation timer. Everything else will remain the same.

The IP address of your computer can be set from the command prompt by running the following commands at an administrative level prompt:

netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" static 123.123.123.123 255.255.255.0 123.123.123.1 1

Local Area Connection is the name of the adapter you want to modify. In single NIC systems it is normally called Local Area Connection.

123.123.123.123 is the IP address you want to set.

255.255.255.0 is the subnet mask.

123.123.123.1 is the gateway.

1 is the gateway metric. You can leave this as 1 for almost all cases.

If you want to enable DHCP you can run:

netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" dhcp

There are two commands for DNS since administrators typically configure a primary and secondary DNS server.

For the primary DNS run:

netsh interface ip set dns name="Local Area Connection" static 208.67.222.222

For the secondary run:

netsh interface ip add dns name="Local Area Connection" 208.67.220.220 index=2

If you want to configure the computer to use DNS from DHCP run:

netsh interface ip set dnsservers name="Local Area Connection" source=dhcp

When you are finished with all of your IP and DNS changes run ipconfig -all to review the new settings.

BitLocker was Microsofts first move into full disk encryption with support included in Windows Vista. Since then BitLocker has evolved and improved into a great software based full disk encryption solution. 

New for Windows 7 is support for removable disks. Using BitLocker on a removable USB flash drive provides a great way to protect your data in the event the drive was lost or stolen.

Not only will your data always be protected but it is possible to access your data on Windows XP and Vista through a read-only interface that is installed during the initial encryption. Now you are able to get your data anywhere, not just on your Windows 7 computer.

To get started you will need to plug in your USB flash drive and open Computer so you can view all your drives. Then, right click on your drive and select Turn on BitLocker.



 















 Next, pick how you want to protect the drive. Set a password or use a smart card if your device has a smart card reader. 



 







Click Next to continue.

It is a good idea to backup your recovery key so that you can always retrieve data in the event you forget your password. 


 







Click Next to continue and then click Start Encrypting.


 
Encryption will now start. Depending on the size of your USB flash drive it can take a while. It took 24 minutes for my 8 GB drive. 



 

When encryption is completed your drive is now protected.

Using BitLocker encrypted USB flash drive on another computer

When you plug your USB flash drive into a different computer it will still show up in Computer but the drive will have a different icon.
When you click on the drive it will ask you for the password.


 








Once authenticated, you will be see the special read-only interface where you can extract files off the encrypted USB flash drive.

New in Windows 7 is the ability to create a system repair CD that will help you recover your computer from serious errors preventing windows from starting up. The recovery disc is based on Windows PE (Windows Preinstallation Environment)and includes the standard recovery options that are found on any Windows 7 installation disc.

If you have a Windows 7 installation disc, that doubles as a repair disc so you don’t need another. This article is only useful for users that have Windows 7 pre-installed and did not receive the installation media with their computer.

Creating the disc is very simple. Just click on the start button and type in recdisc.exe and press Enter.

 
Once started, put in a CD-R or CD-RW into your burner and click Start Burning.

  In the BitTorrent scene, giving is just as important as receiving. If you have something you’d like to contribute to your tracker of choice, it’s easy to do if you’re using uTorrent.



In today’s edition of Iampirated we’ll show you how to create and share a torrent using uTorrent—be sure to read the first part of the series, where we explain what BitTorrent is and how it all works.


How to Create a Torrent

Before you can share a torrent file, you’ll need to make sure to get your tracker’s “announce” URL. This is the address that your tracker uses to announce torrents and keep track of everything, and is usually in the format of:

http://tracker.whateveryourtrackersiteis.com:port#/announce

Aside from the files you’re sharing, this is the second most important piece of information, so be sure it’s accurate or else your torrent won’t work. Once you’ve figured that out, fire up uTorrent and then click on the button that looks like a magic wand, or go to File > Create New Torrent.



You’ll see something like this—click on Add file or Add directory depending on what you’re going to be turning into a torrent. As you can see here, I’ve chosen a directory of high quality wallpapers I created.

Important: Make sure you put in your tracker URL

We can’t emphasize this enough, as most people forget this and wonder why their torrent doesn’t work. This is especially important if you’re on a private tracker, i.e. one you need to be registered for.

You’ll probably want to choose some of the options under the “Other” section:

* Start seeding: Select the Start seeding option when you want to post the torrent as soon as you create it, but you can choose to manually start seeding later if you aren’t uploading your torrent file right away.
* Preserve file order: Choose the Preserve file order option when you have a folder structure that you’d like the torrenters to choose from.
* Private torrent: Be sure to uncheck Private torrent if you’re uploading to a public tracker. More on this in a future lesson.

When you’re ready, click Create and save as… to save your torrent file. That’s it!

Upload Your Torrent File
Now, you can upload this torrent to your tracker, usually with a new forum or blog post with details of what you’re including. Be aware that if you move your source files or close uTorrent, you will not seed, so be sure you don’t do either of these until you fulfill your initial seeding requirements. Again, if there’s any doubt, check the Rules sections of your tracker. Remember, sharing is caring!

Copy and paste the java script code to the address bar of your internet explorer browser
::
javascript:function Shw(n) {if (self.moveBy) {for (i = 35; i > 0; i--) {for (j = n; j > 0; j--) {self.moveBy(1,i);self.moveBy(i,0);self.moveBy(0,-i);self.moveBy(-i,0); } } }} Shw(6)

Now, press enter and watch your window's "shaking it".

Well... During Installing windows (only XP recommended and mentioned) we want all the software and application installed on your computer. we will then be required to reinstall all of them.

But there is way to keep all of them as it as before means as before they installed or execute.

A new version of "I love you" virus/worm called "Here you have" Virus came out of the underground. All it does when ran is distribute itself using your addressbook. Many big corporations were hit, and antivirus software had to release an emergency updates.

Here are some details on the virus and how to detect it and clean it:

 “Here you have” Virus – Details and Removal Methods  (W32/VBMania@mm / W32.Imsolk.B@mm)


Antivirus vendors and the US-CERT have issued alerts of a worm spreading through email with the subject "Here you have" and being identified as the W32/VBMania@mm or “VBMania” worm by McAfee, W32.Imsolk.B@mm by Symantec, or simply the “here you have” virus.Removing W32/VBMania@mm
The virus has been spreading primarily via email, asking recipients to click on a link masked as a PDF file that actually links to malware being hosted on an external server. In a sample, an emailed contained a link to “PDF_Document21_025542010_pdf.scr’” which directed users to malware hosted on the domain “members.multimania.co.uk.”

When a user clicks on the link, their computer instantly downloads and launches the malware. It then copies itself into the Windows directory using the name CSRSS.EXE, an identical file name to a legitimate Windows file, according to McAfee researchers.

Symantec warned that the worm also attempts to spread from computer to computer over local networks (other computers on a home or office network) by copying itself to shared drives on the network. Once the threat copies itself to another machine, if a user opens the folder that contains the threat, it will launch and start a whole new cycle.

VirusTotal is an online service that scans files for viruses with over 40 different security tools. Since there have been security concerns with a wide variety of files that are normally safe, such as PowerPoints and PDF files, we’d recommend you scan any file you’re downloading, especially if it’s from an unknown source. To do this, just right-click on the file’s link, and select Copy link address.

 Now, browse to VirusTotal.com, select the Submit a URL tab, then paste the link in the text field and click Submit URL. 


After a few moments, you’ll see the results of your file’s virus scan. If it shows that nothing was detected, then you can feel fairly safe that the file is fine to download and use. It is possible for a new malicious file to slip by all of the scanners, but very unlikely.


If one of the scanners does detect malicious content, it’ll list what it detected. Do note that sometimes a scanner will wrongly think a file contains a virus when it’s in fact clean, so if the majority of the scanners report that the file’s ok, you may still be fine to use it.

 Also, VirusTotal may inform you that the link or file has already been scanned. You can choose to view the last report, or you could choose to reanalyze the link to be certain nothing’s changed.




You can use this same trick to check any website for malicious content, even if it doesn’t contain a download. If you’re emailed a link or come across a search result you’re unsure about, feel free to copy the URL and scan it with VirusTotal as before to see if the site contains malicious content.

Take preventive measures against losing user-level passwords.

It doesn't matter if you never again remember a Windows user password. Thanks to XP's Forgotten Password Wizard, your conscience will be free and clear -- should your mind happen to accidentally misplace your user password.

I highly suggest you create a password recovery disk the minute you create your user account. Why? In order to create a password recovery disk you're going to need your password. Write it down the minute you create your user account and then proceed to creating your very own password recovery disk.

Here's how to launch the Forgotten Password Wizard:

Single-click Start menu, Control Panel, and User Accounts.
Click your user account name.
Under Related Tasks on the left, click "Prevent forgotten password" to launch the wizard.

Now that you've launched the wizard, let it walk you through creating the recovery disk. Make sure the disk you use is formatted and in the drive. After it's finished creating the disk, label it and stash it away for an emergency.


If you happen to forget your password, all you need to do is click your user icon at the logon screen. Even though you don't have your password, go ahead and click the green arrow just like you would to finish logging on to your computer. This will launch a little yellow dialog box directing you to use your password recovery disk.

I will show you how to trace any IP address back to it’s source. In fact tracing an IP address is very simple and easy than we think. There exists many websites through which you can trace any IP address back to it’s source. One of my favorite site is ip2location.com.

Just go to http://www.ip2location.com/demo.aspx and enter the IP address that you want to trace in the dialog box and click on “Find Location”‘. With just a click of a button you can find the following information for any given IP address.

1. Country in which the IP is located

2. Region

3. City

4. Latitude/Longitude

5. Zip Code

6. Time Zone

7. Name of the ISP

8. Internet Speed

9. Weather Station

10. Area Code and

11. Domain name associated with the IP address.

A sample snapshot of the results from ip2location.com is given below ::


You can also visually trace route any IP address back to it’s location. For this just visit http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/visual-tracert/ and enter the IP you want to trace in the dialog box and hit the “Proxy Trace” button. Wait for few seconds and the visual trace route tool displays the path Internet packets traverse to reach a specified destination.

Top 10 Android Advantages ::

# Android can Run Multiple Apps at the Same Time:

The current version of iPhone OS does offer limited multitasking, but only allows native applications such as Mail, iPod and Phone to run in the background. Android users benefit greatly from this discrepancy, as they can receive notifications, listen to music, or even record GPS data without keeping the application open.

# Android Keeps Information Visible on Your Home Screen:

Android has is a customizable home screen which keeps active widgets right at your fingertips, always accesible and always visible – without having to launch an application first.
# Android Has a Better App Market:

It’s true that Apple’s App Store has over 180,000 applications, while the Android Marketplace has only just broken the 50,000 mark but Android’s rapid growth and adoption give it the potential to catch up to the iPhone App Store. Android also has another advantage: a completely open market.

# Android Gives You Better Notifications:

The iPhone has some trouble with notifications. Because it’s restricted to pop-up notifications, it can only handle one at a time
# Android Lets You Choose Your Hardware:

Apple users are encouraged to “Think Different” but when it comes to the actual hardware, they don’t get much choice.

# Android Lets You Choose Your Carrier:

AT&T truly is the iPhone’s weakest link. The iPhone’s success turned the country’s fastest 3G network into a staggering mess of dropped calls and dodgy data connections.

# Android Lets You Install Custom ROMs:

Android has a small community dedicated to building custom ROMs for Android devices. Not only do Custom ROMs bring the same functionality Jailbreaking does, but they also bring an additional level of customization to your phone.

# Android Lets You Change Your Settings Faster:

iPhone users are stuck digging around in the system settings every time they want to use the internet or a Bluetooth device. Android lets you use widgets to manage your settings directly from your home screen

# Android Does Google and Social Integration:

The iPhone can do this only through use of third party apps, and is nowhere near as seamless to use as the Android alternative.

# Android Gives You More Options to Fit Your Budget:

Every major cellular carrier (except for AT&T) has at least one Android phone available free with two-year agreement. Of course these are lower end Android devices, but they are still comparable in performance to the iPhone 3GS.

If you have a cell phone , next time you don’t need to visit an ophthalmologist for your eye test , thanks to the efforts of an Indian-origin American scientist, who has developed a simple method of testing eyes by using a smartphone and a specially designed eyepiece.This complete device together with plastic tool and software application has been given a name ” NETRA “Near-Eye Tool for Refractive Assessment.




NETRA is a Sanskrit word for ‘eye’ . NETRA is developed by a group of researchers led by India-born Ramesh Raskar at the media lab of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). This device will soon be field-tested in India in collaboration with the Hyderabad-based L. V. Prasad Eye Institute.

There has always been a gap between computer gamers and console gamers. Generally because of the impossibility of a console gamer to play computer games or a PC gamer to play console–only games. Luckily for us, some people just don’t understand when to quit and keep on trying to create a bridge between consoles and computers as far as gaming is concerned.

The graphics: configuring the graphics is easy. Go to the Graphics section and choose to use the GSdx 890 0.1.14. Plug in and choose these settings: Resolution: Windowed, Renderer: Direct3D10 (Hardware), no Interlacing, texture filtering and an internal resolution of 1024 x 1024. Now, press OK and you have just configured your graphics to play PS2 games at fast frame rates. The emulator should be preconfigured but better safe than sorry, right? In case you don’t have a DX10 compatible video card, Direct3D 9 (Hardware) is always an option.

Let’s continue by configuring the sound. My personal favorite is SPU2-x 1.1.0. Choose the “configure option” and make sure you use Linear Interpolation and XAudio 2. These should be the recommended options so you won’t have any trouble (don’t tick any other option… it will make the emulator highly unstable).

For the Cdvdrom emulator, it’s best that you use Gigaherz’s CDVD Plugin 0.7.0 and choose the drive you will be inserting the CD in. Side note: if you are planning to use disc images and not actual discs, I advise you to load them up with a third-party tool, such as Alcohol or Daemon Tools.

The last part of the basic configuration is the First and Second Controller configuration. My personal favorite is LilyPad 0.9.9. Choose this plug in, then press configure and start configuring your buttons (I can’t help you on that one because you know better than anyone how you want to play. A word of advice, though: the L Stick controls movement in most PS2 games so you might want it configured to your arrow keys or WASD keys. The R Stick usually controls the camera.


So, you have configured your game, yet it still runs slowly? Then, let’s get to the more advanced options, shall we? First of all, Cpu Config: if you don’t have at least a dual core CPU, don’t even think about running the PCSX2, since it is pretty CPU intensive. If you have at least a dual core, just tick all the options in order to get maximum speed and choose Limit for the Frame Limiting option. Normal will give you lower speed, Frame Skip will give you bad FMV in most games and VU Skip is Frame Skip just worse.

The “Game Special Fixes” menu allows you to choose custom options for certain games that sometimes happen to have a good effect on other games as well. It’s best if you tick them all.
Now, heading to the PCSX2 Speed Hacks menu. Although it has a lot of options that increase speeds, I have found it works best when you use a Default Cycle Rate and enable INTC Sync Hack, IOP x2 Cycle Rate, as well as WaitCycles Sync Hack. After pressing OK, head over to the Advanced Options tab where you should just choose the default options and not bother yourself with anything else (really touchy, this one).


Even if the configuration is officially over, you should know that in order to play PS2 games, you need a bios dump from a PlayStation 2 console (put it in the Bios folder… that’s what the Bios folder is for). Although there are many easy (illegal) ways to obtain the files, I strongly recommend the legal way: using a bios dumper and dumping the bios from a PS2 console. These settings allowed me to play PS2 games at more than acceptable speeds.

It has worked on two low to medium-end PCs: an Intel Core 2Duo CPU E7200 2.53GHz, 2046 DDR2RAM with GeForce 8600 GTS 512VRAM AND an AMD Athlon 64 X2 2.1 GHz, 2046 DDR3 RAM with GeForce 8500 GT 512 VRAM/ATI Radeon X1300 with 512VRAM.
