TechnoPhillia!!

Windows XP may be one of the more stable and developed operating systems (Vista is like a beta right now). But there are many irritating aspects in Windows XP.

Windows has a really stupid popup system, which pops up for every unnecessary thing imaginable. For example, there is a popup to warn that disk space is low on the system drive (usually C:\). Also, there is a popup for alerting you that a new program installed. As if you didn't know that you've installed a program!

There is an easy registry hack to get rid of all these popups. Do not be appalled by a registry edit - this is really simple.

Open up the registry editor - go to Run, type regedit and click OK. Backing up the registry before a hack is always a good idea, so click File > Export, choose a location and click save. Then, proceed to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

Right click on the right-hand pane, make New> DWORD Value and name it EnableBallonTips. Set the value to 0 to disable ballontips, and set it back to 1 to enable balloontips.

This hack disables most balloontips. In order to eliminate all popups, some more work is required. In each of the following locations, change the values to 0 to disable balloontips.

Location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\

1. Change the value of FolderContentsInfoTip to 0

Location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\

1. Change the value of ShowInfoTip to 0.

Location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\tips\Show

1. Change the value of Show to 0

If anything goes wrong, restore the registry file that you had explored before and settings will be restored.

When you insert a CD-ROM disk, your CD-ROM drive always runs automatically for the default setting (autorun CD-ROM). We have a tip to disable running your CD-ROM drive whereas you can enable it running again as you want. This tutorial will teach you to enable or disable running CD-ROM drive by editing a registry. Follow these steps.

* Click Start > Run .
* In the Run dialog, type regedit and press Enter.
* In the Registry Editor window, Go to the path like below,

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom

* Now you can see the AutoRun DWORD in the right panel, double click on it.
* Change the Value data to 0 for disabling automatically running CD-ROM, then click OK. If you want it to automatically run again, you must fill 1 value in the Value data.
* Close Registry Editor window and reboot your computer.
* Test it by inserting your CD-ROM disk. Now your computer does not automatically runs your disk.

There are plenty of software which locks drives and folder to protect your confidential data. Why waste money on such tools when you can do it with a simple registry tweak? Here's how:

Caution: Before you attempt these tweaks, please make sure that you have a backup of your registry, just incase something goes wrong in the middle.

Locking Folders:

• Consider you want to lock a folder named XXXX in your E:\, whose path is E:\XXXX.
• Now open the Notepad and type the following

[code]ren xxxx xxxx.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}[/code]

• Where xxxx is your folder name. Save the text file as loc.bat in the same drive.
• Open another new notepad text file and type the following

[code]ren xxxx.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} xxxx[/code]

• Save the text file as key.bat in the same drive.

Steps to lock the folder:

• To lock the xxxx folder, simply click the loc.bat and it will transform into control panel icon which is inaccessible.
• To unlock the folder click the key.bat file. Thus the folder will be unlocked and the contents are accessible.

Locking Drives:

We don’t usually prefer to lock our drives, but sometimes it becomes nesscary. Say for instance you might have stored your office documents in D:\ and you don’t want your kids to access it, in such case this technique can be useful for you. Please don’t try this tweak with your root drive (usually C:\ is the root drive) since root drives are not intended to be locked because they are mandatory for the system and application programs.

• Start & Run and type Regedit to open Registry editor
• Browse HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer
• Create a new DWORD value NoViewOnDrive and set its value as

2^ (Alpha Number of Drive Letter-1) where Alpha number are simple counting of alphabets from A to Z as 1 - 26

For example: to lock C:\, Alpha number of C is 3 so 2^ (3-1) = 4 (decimal value)

• To lock more drives, calculate the value of each drive and then set sum of those numbers as value
• To unlock your drive just delete the key from the registry.

Use Google as a warez search engine a.k.a Get Free Stuff!
1.Go to www.google.com
2.In the Search Bar type in:“intitle:index of” and then type in the keyword for whatever you are looking for.
So for example if I want to find some linkin park songs I would type in this:
“intitle:index of” LINKINK PARK(OR SONG NAME) MP3(YES WE CAN ADD EXTENSION ALSO)
View Security Cameras Worldwide. - This will let you hack into random live scurity cameras all over the world and operate them.
1.Go to www.google.com
2.In the search bar type in:inurl:”viewerframe?mode refresh”
3.Then go to any of the search results and boom here is your camera.

Searching crack

This hack shows all info (including username and passwords) for websites running on ws_ftp sofware.
1.Go to google.com
2.In searchbar type in: intitle:index of ws_ftp.ini
3.Go to any result page and find a file called ws_ftp.ini (press ctrl+f for autosearch)
After you found ws_ftp, click on it and it will give you a whole bunch of private stuff.Look for something along the lines
of PWD=blahblahblah.That’s your password.It’s encrypted.So use an MD5 hash cracker or johntheripper to crack the
password.

First go to: Start –> Run
Then type: gpedit.msc and hit enter. Browse the folder tree to the following location
User Configuration –> Administrative Templates –> System. Right-click Code
signing for Device drivers and select Properties. On the Settings tab, either select
–>enable, and then select ignore from the appearing listbox..
–>or click the disable option. Click apply and Ok and your set!
Alternatively especially for XP Home users:
Open “System” properties (Windows key + pause or Right click ‘My Computer’ -
properties or Control Panel - System).On the Hardware tab click the “Driver Signing” button. In the dialogue that comes up choose “Ignore” to install the new driver
anyway.

One trick that increases your boot time a bit is to lose any fonts in the Fonts folder in
Control Panel that you never use. The more fonts you have, the more processing
Windows XP has to do to prep all of those fonts for use. You must be a bit careful
here to not remove fonts that you might want, but there is a good chance that you can
live without many of them.
To delete unneeded fonts, follow these steps:
1. Open the Fonts folder in Control Panel.
2. Select Edit/Select All and then Edit/Copy.
3. Create a new folder on your desktop, open it, and select Edit/Paste.
4. In this new folder, delete any of the fonts you do not want.
5. Return to the Fonts folder in Control Panel. Right-click the selected fonts and click Delete.
6. Go back to your new desktop folder and click Edit/Select All.
7. Return to your Fonts folder and click Edit/Paste. You now have only the desired
fonts in the Fonts folder.

Problem: You cannot imagine life without Firefox but over time, your favorite browser keeps getting slower and slower.

Not only is it slow, Firefox sometimes hangs for no reason, consumes a large amount of memory and CPU usage can climb to 90% or more when you have multiple tabs open simultaneously.

You have uninstalled most of the extensions and toolbars, deleted all the cookies and internet temporary files, cleared up the file download queue and disabled the background check for software updates - but none of this has helped you speed-up Firefox.
Solution: This is a common problem especially if you have been running Firefox for some time - I don't know why Firefox slows down but here's a small trick to rejuvenate the aged copy of Firefox without doing a fresh install.

Step 1: Start Firefox and export your bookmarks as a file on your hard-drive (we'll need them later).

Slice steps off your system log-off routine by putting a log-off shortcut on your desktop.

Start by right-clicking an empty space on the desktop and then selecting New shortcut. In the space below Type the location of the item, type in rundll32.exe user32.DLL, LockWorkStation (remember to watch your spacing and case).

Finally, create a clever name for the icon besides the default "rundll32"—how about "Lock PC"? Then click the shortcut to lock your computer with ease.

Set up:

We can actually make folders that cannot be deleted in Windows OS.
It must be made using Command Prompt.
It can only be deleted using Command Prompt.

Steps:

1.Go to cmd.

2.Change to the directory that you want.

3.Assume i change to D:

4.So,in Command Prompt,type D: and [enter].

5.Type in this command "md \lpt1\\" without quotes and press enter.

6.The folder will now in your D:

7.Go and try and delete or rename it,you cannot do anything to it.

There are still many names that you can use to name the folder:

-lpt1 until lpt9
-CON
-AUX

To delete it:

1.Go to Command Prompt again.

2.Navigate to the directory.

3.Type in rd \lpt1\\

I was searching around the web the other day.. and i found this beautiful article informing about the method to take down a website. I found many of my visitors interested a lot in this topic of hacking a website. So, i decided to add this wonderful website hacking article. Here, method of DDOS attack is used.

So, lets start.

Hacking/Taking Down Websites:

In this tutorial, I will show you how to take down websites via DDoS. For this tutorial we will be using one of the most effective and one of the least known tools called "Low Orbit Ion Cannon", created by Anonymous members from 4chan.org, this program is one of the best for DDoS'ing, and I have successfully used it to DDoS websites. An internet connection as bad as mine (2,500 kb/s) was able to keep a site down for a day with this program running. Remember that this tool will work best with high internet speeds, and try not to go for impossible targets (like Google, Myspace,Yahoo). LOIC is used on a single computer, but with friends it's enough to give sites a great deal of downtime.

Prerequisites: Download LOIC (Low Orbit Ion Cannon). Open up LOIC.

Step 1: Type the target URL in the URL box.

Step 2: Click lock on.

Step 3: Change the threads to 9001 for maximum efficiency.

Step 4: Click the big button "IMMA FIRIN MAH LAZAR!"

Feel free to tweak around with these settings and play around with the program to get the best performance. Then minimize and go do whatever you need to do, the program will take care of the rest!

DOWNLOAD HERE: http://rapidshare.com/files/104926676/LOIC.exe

I would like to inform you that i have not yet tried this hack, so i cant tell you much about it...sorry for that. But, you can help me out by commenting your experience or even by mailing me.

I have added this post to explain all consequences when a backdoor is installed on your computer.

The post explains all things a hacker can do after installing a backdoor on victims computer.

What an outsider can do:

1. Log on to your computer and operate/access it from a remote location.

2. Access your email list and/or use your Internet connection. This is called SMTP hijacking and is hugely popular with email scammers such as Nigerian con artists and email spammers who send out worms, viruses, unsolicited advertising, etc. When you track the email path, it shows that the letter was sent from a corporation in Walla Walla, Washington or from a college in Texas instead of from it's true origin.

3. Find files/documents that are not protected and destroy, copy, email, and alter them. That's why it's so important to install software like Folder Access.

4. Run programs, alter or delete programs.

5. Install hidden programs to watch what you do with your computer and where you go on the Internet. Spyware can keep a record of every web site you visit, every email you write, every chat in a chat room (public or private), every Private Message, every online purchase you make, every bit of online banking you do.

Keyloggers can record every keystroke you make, including passwords, user names, identification numbers, bank account numbers, and credit card numbers. To prevent such attacks, you need to install SecureClean to uncover existing malicious programs and prevent others from being installed.

6. Move from computer to computer within a network, access servers, steal and/or alter passwords, sensitive information, and personnel information.

7. Insert worms, viruses, and spyware into the computer owner or network owner's email programs, web sites or pages, ad banners, and downloads.

8. Crash a single computer or move through a network crashing one computer after the other. SOS Data Protection & Recovery Software is a real life-saver in that situation.

9. Send hundreds of requests to a network server that the server can't respond to (this is can cause a corporate web site to crash if it's the server where the site is stored); send hundreds of large emails to employees causing the email program to overload.

10. Change the path information takes through a network by inserting redirects that can cause the information to loop endlessly until the information transfer is rejected, or the altered path may send the information to a competitor.

The above malice list covers the highlights. Once malicious access has occurred to an individual computer or a network, so much damage is possible that recovery can be prohibitively expensive and public embarrassment overwhelming.

Here in this post, i am mentioning about software program "Poison ivy" which is actually a RAT(Remote Administration Tool), by which a hacker can access any server installed computer remotely. I would like to add over here that this is not my tutorial, i found this tutorial perfect and so i have added this over here.

Requirements:
---------------------------------
no-ip.biz account (see below for instructions)
RAT of your choice, I will be showing Poison Ivy
No-IP client
Know how to port forward (people behind routers only)
---------------------------------

Intro to RATs
---------------------------------
So here we go. I'm going to show you how to setup a RAT. A RAT can stand for a few things:
Remote Administration Tool
Remote Access Tool
Remote Access Trojan
Remote Administration Trojan
and probably more.
In any event, it doesn't matter. What you need to know is that it allows you to access the target computer from yours, using the trojan. Now it may help you to look this up on:

wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_administration_tool
---------------------------------

No IP
---------------------------------
First of all, go here:

http://www.no-ip.com/newUser.php

and sign up for an account there. After that log into the site with the account you just created and add your new domain. SEE PIC no-ip.png
Now download the dynamic update client from the downloads tab at the top of the no-ip site. Install that when you are done, and you can update your IP for your domain by logging into the client and updating. Pretty easy.
---------------------------------

Port Forwarding
---------------------------------
If you are not behind a router, skip this. If you are, read on.

You should know how to forward ports on your router. If you dont, head to google, and find out. Each router is different. Usually you can type 192.168.1.1 (or your router's IP address for your LAN) in the address bar of your browser. If you got the right LAN IP, a login box will appear, log in. Default is usually admin:password, or something similar. You're on your own here.
When you finally get int, forward port 3460. That's all.
Hulk11 pointed out that admin:admin is commonly used in routers as well.
---------------------------------

Getting the RAT
---------------------------------
Head over to:

http://www.poisonivy-rat.com/index.php?link=download

and download the latest version. At the time of posting it was 2.3.2.
Download that and unzip it.
---------------------------------

Using the RAT
---------------------------------


Open up poison ivy, and click File>New Client. We are going to set up Poison Ivy to listen for connections on the port you forwarded. Default is 3460. Type in a password for your RAT and click start. You will need this password later.

Now File>New Server. Click create profile. Make it look like Server1.png Be sure that the password you put here and the password here match.

Click next and make your server look like Server2.png. You will need to select Active X and click the random button. Having the server melt is up to you, I wouldn't pick melt when it is bound to another file. When the file is sent by itself, usually choose to melt it. Click next

Make your server look like Server3.png. Ignore the thing about the keylogger making it unstable. Not much else here. Click next.

You can choose an icon here, or use a resource editor like ResHacker to chage it later. After you do that, click Generate at the bottom and save the .EXE somewhere.
---------------------------------

Testing the RAT
---------------------------------
You can run the server on yourself to test it, this is relatively safe because you have the password to connect to it. When you run the server, you should see yourself in the Poison Ivy Connection's tab.
Notice the pop up box from the system try alerting you of a new connection. That's nice. You can see this in Working.png I have edited out the IP addresses of those not on LAN as well as their computer user names and such in order to protect them. To connect to a server, double click the entry in the connections tab. Behold! You are in their PC!
---------------------------------

Distributing
---------------------------------
You can distribute the server file by itself, or bind it to other files. This is where you get to do as you please. Get creative!
---------------------------------

Well that is about it. You can use this knowledge with other RATs and such. So guys, i assume that this tutorial will help you in hacking or accessing any computer remotely. Just download the software poison ivy and start hacking remote computers/pc. By using Poison ivy, one can extract/crack all password hashes present in victim's computer, take a screenshot of victim's computer and many more.

The problem: Windows lets anyone press the Ctrl+C keys during its initial booting phase and stop the booting. If the user is knowledgeable enough about the MSDOS mode, s/he can then examine the contents of all your drives and folders, etc. To prevent this from happening, you can reconfigure your computer to disable the Ctrl+C keys in the MSDOS mode.

The following method may be used to fix this problem:

First, make a backup copy of the C:\CONFIG.SYS file (just in case something goes wrong) by copying this file onto your emergency startup disk. Also, make sure that you can actually use the startup disk to boot your computer into the MSDOS mode.

Open C:\CONFIG.SYS with Notepad and add the following line at the very beginning of the file:

BREAK=OFF

Now save the file and reboot the computer.

For more information about the CONFIG.SYS file and its contents, please refer to the file Config.txt, installed by Windows in your C:\Windows folder.

Note: Note that this setting also disables Ctrl+C for all programs running in the MSDOS mode.

Here, the hacktool(beginners can call it a software or program) is described which is used to hack Premium accounts.

PASSWORD: in_your_service

This is new release ID & PASSWORD, please don't change password so other can use, have a nice day!

You've got enough to keep track of in your day-to-day life without filling your head with the countless logins and passwords you've racked up over the years, and the Post-It note on your monitor just isn't an option. Luckily, there are several fantastic and secure password management applications designed to make it easy for you to remember, manage, and secure your passwords effortlessly. and now we're back with the five most popular picks. Keep reading for a detailed look at each application, then cast your vote to help us pick the best password manager on the block.

Sxipper (All platforms)

Firefox extension Sxipper adds password management, auto-logins, and automatic form filling to Firefox. If you don't want to manually create multiple identities to fill in forms, Sxipper may be perfect for you. It can automatically learn and build personas for you based on information you've used to fill in forms. Sxipper builds on top of Firefox's default password manager, meaning all of your passwords remain safely encrypted and stored on your computer.

KeePass (All platforms)

Desktop application KeePass is a free, open-source password manager with a robust and easy-to-use feature set. KeePass secures your passwords with a single master password and/or a key-file on your computer. KeePass is a Windows application, but an OS X- and Linux-compatible version—called KeePassX—is available with slightly less polish than the Windows counterpart. For those of you who'd like to take your passwords with you, KeePass is available as a portable application and as PocketPC, Symbian, BlackBerry, and PalmOS ports. KeePass doesn't come with built-in browser integration, but you can invoke a global, auto-login keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Alt+A by default) when KeePass is running in your system tray.

1Password (Mac OS X)

Mac app 1Password is a commercial password manager and form filler for Mac OS X. Like RoboForm for Windows, 1Password integrates directly with your browser (Firefox or Safari) to auto-fill logins and forms. Like most of the rest, 1Password can automatically generate secure passwords for you, and all you need to remember is your master password.Currently 1Password supports syncing with .Mac accounts, but my1Password is under development to provide synchronization as well as online access to your passwords from any browser. 1Password will set you back $35, Mac OS X only.

RoboForm (Windows)

Desktop application and browser toolbar RoboForm is a popular password and form management utility for Windows only. In addition to password management, RoboForm lets you create identities to automatically fill in web forms. RoboForm is available in both freeware and shareware ($30) versions; the free version is very limited, though, so chances are you'll want to pony up for a license if you take this route. A portable version, called RoboForm2Go, is also available for $20. Like KeePass, RoboForm is available to carry on your Windows Mobile, Symbian, or Palm devices. Unlike KeePass, RoboForm sports a robust browser plug-in for seamless integration with Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Firefox's Password Manager (All platforms)

When it comes to password management, many of you look no further than Firefox's built-in password manager. It's free, it's there when you need it, and it's a no-brainer to integrate into your workflow. One word of caution, though: If you're going to stick with Firefox's password manager, be sure to secure your saved passwords with a master password. If you don't, all it takes for someone to peek at every single one of your passwords is clicking the Show Passwords button in the Saved Passwords dialog.

Open regedit & follow the steps below:

1. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\
Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

2. On the Edit menu, click New, click DWORD value .

3. Name the new DWORD Value as NoLowDiskSpaceChecks

4. Right click the new DWORD Value and Modify the data value to 1.

5. Exit the registry editor and restart your computer.

Here is what you need to do for getting your emails delivered to your cell phone as SMS instantaneously.

All this is done by SMS-to-Email service providers, currently offered by Mobee and Mytoday.

Mobee.in has an awesome interface and delivers your mail of up to 400 characters but it is a premium service now, though for testing purpose you can avail a free account which will give you only 3 E-mail notification per day. But at any point of time, you may migrate to their premium plans which cost as little as Rs. 30 Per Month and gives some great features like, reply to a mail by SMS or forwarding any mail. And all this is operated using a non-premium ten digit mobile number which costs you as low as a normal SMS.

Mytoday, on the other hand, another big player in SMS world, has also started such Email-to-SMS service for ‘free’ under the name Email2Sms (M3M). Though the service is free, it has got certain limitations too. As a free user, you can only avail a limited alerts of 100 SMS notifications per year and if you wish to get unlimited SMS alerts, it will cost you a reasonable amount of 999 bucks per year. Any ways considering it to be free (upto 100 alerts/year), we can surely give it a try, also this is one time setup process.

Basically the whole system works by setting up an auto forwarding in your mail box to a specified mail id provided to you by the ‘Email-to-SMS’ service provider. As per the service provider, all your Emails are being stored in an encrypted form and cannot be viewed by them. I am still wondering on how secure your personal data would be, so please use this service at your own risk. Further detailed instructions on setting up auto forwarding can be availed once you sign-up for the respective services.

My Review: Personally, I have used both the services, Mobee was outstanding as I have used a premium version of it and have not got any complaints with it. M3M is equally good. You give it a try and let us know your comments on it.

If you find the need to change a drive letter, Windows 2000 makes this possible. Here’s how:
In the Control Panel, select Administrative Tools. The Administrative Tools folder will pop up.

In that folder, select Computer Management.
Click on Disk Management and wait for the Logical Disk Manager Service to finish scanning your system’s drives. You will then see a list of the drives available in your system. 1. Click on the drive with the drive letter you want to change.

2. Right click and select the Change Drive Letter and Path… option.

3. All drive letters linked to that drive will be listed on this popup screen.

4. Click on the drive letter you want to change and click on Edit.

5. Click on the drive letter and a whole list of available drive letter choices will now appear.

6. Select the drive letter you want for this drive.

7. Click OK and your drive will have a new drive letter.

Notes: You will not be able to change the drive letter of your system or boot volume. However, the drive letters of all other drives and drive volumes are changeable.

If you want to change the drive letter of a CD/DVD-ROM or ZIP drive, make sure you insert a disk first. The drive letter cannot be changed unless there’s a disk in the drive.

Some software may not work properly if you change any drive letter. So, you may need to do some registry editing to get that software to work with the new drive letter. If that doesn’t work, you will have to reinstall the software using the new drive letter or reset the drive letter back to its original drive letter.

This is a very simple trick to do if you have done the same for the logon screen and the start button. There are 2 ways to do this trick that I know about one is doing it manually and the other is using a program called bootxp. I am going to tell you the manual way to do it, but if you want to know the other way just let me know, so I can do an update to the guide. Now once you have downloaded your ntoskrnl.exe file save it a general location so that you will have easy access to it, like my folder.

Once you have ntoskrnl.exe file in an easy access folder, restart your PC into safe mode. Once into safe mode go to the folder where your files are located.

Now that you are there copy the file that you want to change your boot screen too. Once you have copied that file, hit the window key + r or type %windir%\system32 in the run command, so that folder as follows.

Once there paste your new file into the folder and overwrite the existing folder.

Now that you have your new file in the folder restart your PC as you normally would and your new boot screen should appear. You can download this bootscreen here.

ALWAYS BACKUP EVERYTHING YOU EDIT OR DELETE. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU MESS YOUR COMPUTER UP BY DOING THIS HACK OR ANY TYPE OF HACK. DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Open regedit in your start>run>regedit browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\policies\Explorer If you find "NoFolderOptions" value, delete it.

View Admin At welcome Screen


By default windows XP doesn't show the Administrator in the user list at the welcome screen. Here's a way to get around it.


Now head up to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\Userlist

Create a new DWORD entry and name it as Administrator and change its value to 1.

Exit and reboot for the changes to take effect.

To change it back change its value to 0 or simply delete the key.

People some times complain why does window show the recent opened file list in windows, as for many people it really affects their privacy when others come to know which files they have opened.

In Vista you can set the windows not to store the list of recently opened file list so no one will know what files you opened recently.

In order to set the privacy settings in windows not to store the names of recently opened file list follow the procedure below

1. Right click on the Start button and select Properties

2. Under Start Menu,

Make sure that under Privacy both of these check box are unchecked, if they are not uncheck these checkboxes which says

• Store and display a list of recently opened files
• Store and display a list of recently opened programs

3. Click OK, That’s it Done!

Windows will not store any program or file opened after you set these privacy settings.

Satellite Internet does not use telephone lines or cable systems, but instead uses a satellite dish for two-way (upload and download) data communications. Upload speed is about one-tenth of the 500 kbps download speed. Cable and DSL have higher download speeds, but satellite systems are about 10 times faster than a normal modem.

Firms that offer or plan to offer two-way satellite Internet include StarBand, Pegasus Express, Teledesic and Tachyon. Tachyon service is available today in the United States, Western Europe and Mexico. Pegasus Express is the two-way version of DirecPC.

Two-way satellite Internet consists of:

* * Approximately a two-foot by three-foot dish
* * Two modems (uplink and downlink)
* * Coaxial cables between dish and modem

The key installation planning requirement is a clear view to the south, since the orbiting satellites are over the equator area. And, like satellite TV, trees and heavy rains can affect reception of the Internet signals.

Two-way satellite Internet uses Internet Protocol (IP) multicasting technology, which means up to 5,000 channels of communication can simultaneously be served by a single satellite. IP multicasting sends data from one point to many points (at the same time) by sending data in compressed format. Compression reduces the size of the data and the bandwidth. Usual dial-up land-based terrestrial systems have bandwidth limitations that prevent multicasting of this magnitude.

Some satellite-Internet service still requires you to have a dial-up or cable modem connection for the data you send to the Internet. The satellite data downlink is just like the usual terrestrial link, except the satellite transmits the data to your computer via the same dish that would allow you to receive a Pay-Per-View television program.

So, if you are in a rural area and you want broadband access to the Internet, satellite Internet may be for you!

Recently one of my friend asked me how can he reboot his computer in safe mode without pressing the F8 key at the time of booting which is normally required fro booting windows in safe mode.

Some times there could be a case when you may not want to press the F8 key or even if you press the F8 key your key your system does not boot in Safe Mode as the F8 key on your keyboard may malfunction and also pressing F8 key is also important to boot into safe mode while booting.

You must be wondering what is safe mode you may heard it, may not know the actual meaning, here it is.

What is Safe Mode?

Safe Mode is a special way to load windows in the troubleshooting mode so that you can repair the problem that might be caused after a software installation and any other problem related to windows. In Safe Mode windows does not run autoexec.bat and config.sys files including most of the device drivers are not loaded so that you can uninstall the device and its drivers which is causing the issue.

Today, I will tell you how to boot your computer automatically in safe mode with out pressing safe mode at the time of booting your computer.
