can you create Folder?

It is looking Funny!So try to create these folders (or files)
CON, .CON, CON. ,COM1 ,COM2 , COM3 ,COM4 ,LPT1 ,LPT2 ,LPT3 ,PRN ,NUL ,
AUXOnce Check it Out.It is impossible. Interesting !
You aren't allowed to create folders with names that are the same as the ones that have been used for various devices on a PC since the DOS era."CON" refers to "console",
in DOS."PRN" refers to "printer,""LPT1," "LPT2," etc., and "COM1," "COM2," etc. refers to the communication ports.The bug has been tried and tested in both Windows XP Home and Professional.
If you try to make a folder named "CON" (case insensitive), Windows XP renames it back to what it was. So creating a new folder with the name "CON" just renames it to "New Folder".
The bug seems like a variable that got treated as a string or vice-versa. Trying to create the folder from a cmd prompt failed with an error "The directory name is invalid.".This also works when you try to create a file called "CON", or "CON.". ".CON" shows up the way it should.
Methods To Create Above Folders:
Method 1:
STEP1: goto command prompt
STEP2: type in prompt e:\> ((mkdir \\.\e:\con))
STEP3: verify by typing ((dir \\.\e:\con))
STEP4: delete the file or folder ((rmdir \\.\e:\con))
Note::Not necessary for to go only E:,u canm create in any Drive.(This method is bulky and confusion. So You can Use}.

Method 2:
Create Folder While name Type CON and then stroke the key ALT+0160 on numeric key pad.
CON -> ALT+0160)Then you can create CON folder and other described folders.It means that when you type a folder name with simple ALT+0160 you can create empty folder.
There is no name for a folder.Here we are using "CON " (CON with space).This is the tricky logic here.

Key Loggers

Long ago a buddy of mine came up to me and told how he received a mail that had the password of his email account!

Like a typical tech guy, I immediately replied his computer may have been infected with password stealing viruses, trojans or key loggers. But in fact, he had a pretty good anti-virus with the latest updates and no harmful programs were found in his computer.So how did that email contain his password? Was the account hacked?

It became very clear after he said who had sent that mail! Apparently, the email was a spam mail sent from a third-party website (let's take xyz.com as an example), where he had registered as a user. The answer was right there!While registering at xyz.com, he had used his Yahoo email id as his username at xyz.com and used the same Yahoo! Mail email account's password as the password for xyz.com.So now, xyz.com had both his email Id and password. The user had disclosed his email id and password, although unintentionally.What to do if I have committed this mistake?

Can this be considered a mistake in the first place? Oh yes! It should be when you have a lot at stake (personal mails, business plans..etc) in your email inbox. Moreover, there are thousands of new websites popping out each day only to disappear weeks later. Always better to be safe than sorry.The very first thing one can do is to :
Change the email password immediately.
Always keep a separate username and password for registering at other sites.
Use the secret Question & Answer password recovery option for your email, in case someone changes your email password. Many still don't use it. This will only work if the person who logged into your account didn't change the secret answer.
Personally, I always keep a separate password just for registering at websites that I find interesting. Do you use your email password while creating accounts at other sites? Have you thought about this while registering at sites? Please let me know in the comments...

Avoiding Keyloggers

First things first! Always try to avoid accessing your online accounts from public computers (cyber cafes…etc). With all the keyloggers that may be stuffed in public computers, they pose a serious security risk to users. Keyloggers mean not just trojans, but commercial keyloggers as well.

What are keyloggers ?
Key Loggers are software or hardware tools to that captures the user’s keystrokes from keyboard. It can be useful to determine sources of error in computer systems and is sometimes used to measure employee productivity on certain clerical tasks. However, keyloggers are widely available on the Internet and can be used by private parties to spy on the computer usage of others hence stealing users private data.

Aim of this post on keyloggers
Our aim here is to confuse the keylogger by making it log some gibberish instead of our valid password. Off course, this is not completely foolproof though. Nothing is foolproof on the net. We only have to make it harder for thehacker.
(Note: These are tips I personally follow. If you have better ones, let everyone know by commenting here.)

Types of Key Loggers
We’ll be dealing with two types of keyloggers; software and hardware keyloggers.
Software keyloggers on the other hand are much more complex and hence difficult to deal with. Most of them record keystrokes, mouse events, clipboard activity..etc. So our best bet is to scramble the keystokes smartly.
Hardware keyloggers are much easier to detect. They are mostly attached between the keyboard and the CPU. A manual inspection should be enough in most cases.

How to confuse and avoid the software keyloggers ?
Let’s say we have to enter a password ‘jazz’.
Click the password box, type any random key. Select the entered random key with the mouse and type j. So we entered the first letter of the password.
Click the password box, type a random key. Again click and type a random key. Select the last two letters with your mouse and type the next valid key of your password.
In this case we managed to enter 2 unwanted characters as against one in the first step.
Continue in a similar way to finish typing thepassword. You can choose any number of random characters between your password.
So the keylogger will log something like:[click]b[click]j[click]g[click]m[click]a[click]v[click] z[click]t[click]c[click]z
Note how we used unwanted mouse clicks so that a mouse click is recorded before the random letters also. You can also experiment entering the password in the reverse order, infarct any order.
This method can be used for entering the username too, since most banks have account numbers as username. If you are suffering from some keylogger phobia, use this technique while typing the url too.

Another way is utilizing the browser’s search bar or address bar to camouflage the password.For eg. Click the password box and type a letter of the password. Now click the browser’s address bar or search bar and type some unwanted letters. Alternate between the password box and address/search bar till you finish. The result will be the same as the former method.

How to find the hardware keyloggers ?
Hardware key loggers are easy to find. They are devices which is attached in between keyboard and cpu junction. If you are really suspicious about them just check the back side of cpu and find if something is fishy. The images will give you a better idea.

Feeling secure? Well, this sort of stuff may not work against the really smart keyloggers. Yeah, the one’s that also take a screenshot when a keystroke or mouse event is detected.There’s is a solution for that too, but it is cumbersome. Take a Live CD of any of the Linux distributions. Insert and use ( and hope Linux will detect the hardware so you can start surfing; I have read Ubuntu Linux is good.). Even if you can successfully access from the Live CD, don’t forget to use the above tips to workaround the hardware keylogger.

Again as I mentioned in the beginning, always try to avoid dealing with confidential data from Public Computers. What are the precautions you take? Do you know a better technique? Feel free to comment….

Show Hidden files/folders in Windows (When you can't) using the Command Prompt

A friend of mine once approached me with a simple yet strange request. "How do I view hidden files and folders in Windows XP ? ". The fact that he had been using Windows for years astounded me. Off course, he knew how to view hidden files & folders, but this was a unique case.

He sent me a screenshot of his folder options box. Take a look

Strangely, both 'Do not show hidden files and folders' & 'Show hidden files and folders' were enabled.My initial reaction was it may be a virus, trojan, spyware or some malware. Scanning with various anti-virus and anti-spyware software didn't reveal anything. The funny thing here was all the hidden files were perpetually hidden; we weren't able to get the files in the hidden folders even with a Windows search. So using the command prompt to find hidden files was the best option. How to do it?Let's say you want to see all hidden stuff inside the D:\Temp folder. Check the steps below:

1. Go to Start >> Run. Type cmd and press Enter to open the command prompt.

2. Now navigate to the directory from the command prompt.[For eg. Assume you are in C:\Documents and Setting\Jose. and you want to go to D:\Temp; type D: and press enter. This will take you the root D:\ in the command prompt. Type cd Temp in the command prompt and press Enter. Now you'll be inside D:/Temp from the command prompt.]

3. Type the command dir/ah to list all the files under D:\Temp.

Once you get the name of the files, you can view or run them by entering the file path in the address bar of Windows (The address bar of Windows is similar to the address bar of Internet Explorer, where you type the website or folder address).To delete files use the del [Folder Name] in the command prompt. This will delete the folder you specify under the current directory. Eg del Temp

Right-click any of the applications you selected and click Close Group.
It is done!So, now you know to get rid of this annoyance.

Recover deleted files in Windows

Did you ever delete some files from the Recycle Bin only to discover later those files were important?Many people are unaware that deleting a file from the Recycle Bin doesn't really "Delete" the file from the Hard Drive.In fact, when a file is deleted, Windows marks the file for deletion and removes it from the File System Database.The space occupied by the file is marked as free space for new data, but the old file is still present.If some new data is written in the same part where the old file existed, the old file may become unrecoverable.So, an immediately deleted file has good chances of recovery.There are tools available to recover deleted files. Following are some of the Free tools:

1. PC Inspector File Recovery. (Freeware) (download)

PC Inspector recovers lost files and finds partitions automatically, even when the boot sector of your drive has been erased of damaged, or the file's header information is not available. You can save the recovered files in your machine. Files are recovered with the original date and time stamp.I personally use PC Inspector.

2. Restoration. (Freeware) (download)

You can read more about Restoration here

3. VirtualLab Data Recovery Software. (Free to try) (download)

View, Recover deleted YouTube Videos

Yesterday i found a kool site which will allows us to watch deleted youtube videos,Delutube, which lets you view and even download videos deleted from YouTube.The working is quite simple.
If you come across a "This video is no longer available" message in YouTube, just copy the video id and provide it to Delutube. Delutube will try to display the video for you.Plus, you are also provided with links to download the videos.Another feature is to view any randomly selected videos.This can only work if YouTube keeps the deleted videos in its servers. Once deleted from YouTube servers, Delutube may not be able to retrieve them.Sooner than later, YouTube will sort this out. I guess!Readers be warned when using Delutube. The contents may be illegal.

Download YouTube videos with a 'Kiss'

Hide Files & Messages inside Images

Nothing new here, really! Hiding messages inside images has been around since ages. The digital era has greatly simplified this for us, and we will be doing exactly that;
hide files in images.There are numerous ways to hide messages and files in images. So let's take a look at two of them;
the first one to hide files and the second one to hide text messages.Using the command prompt in Windows This one's quite easy. Create an archive file (i.e a Zip or Rar file) which contains the files you want to hide.Our aim is to hide this archive file inside an image. Let's assume secret files.zip is the archive file and my picture.jpg is the picture file which will be used to hide the archive.
Now open the command prompt and use the following command:
copy /b mypicture.jpg + secretfiles.zip new.jpg
The above command will create a new image file named new.jpg, which contains secret files.zip.Opening new.jpg will only display the image from the original my picture.jpg file, so the zip file stays hidden.
However, to access the archive, you'll have the open the new.jpg file with programs like Winzip,Winrar,7-zip etc.
This trick can also be used with other image formats like png, gif, tif etc. Additionally, the zip or rar archives can be encrypted(password protected), thereby making it difficult to retrieve even if one knows an image contains these files.Hide messages using ImageHideWell, ImageHide 2.0 is a software which is capable of hiding messages in images.

However, unlike the previous method, you can't hide files in a picture with ImageHide. Only messages!As I found out, this isn't the best user-friendly software. It felt awkward sometimes. So I created a quick guide below for using ImageHide.

Hide a message with ImageHide:
Click 'Load Image' to load an image, enter your message in the bottom pane, click 'Write Data' and then hit 'Save Image' to save the image.View a hidden message with ImageHide:
Click 'Load Image' to load an image and hit 'Read Data' to view the message.To Encrypt a hidden message:
Create a message as shown above.
Click Encrypt to open an new window. Click Encrypt again in the new window.
You'll be prompted to enter a password. Type in a password and close.
Now click 'Write Data' and hit 'Save Image' to save the image.
Remember the password. It is used to decrypt the message.

Better Gmail

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Gmail and tweaks go hand in hand! There are so many Greasemonkey scripts for Gmail, it's unbelievable. I'm sure many of you like those scripts, because they add new functionalities to your Gmail e-mail account. Am I right?! Well, today, I'm going to show you something that will make that process even easier. It comes to you in the form of a Firefox extension and it is called Better Gmail. So, what does it do? Well, it basically combines all the Greasemonkey scripts for Gmail into a single Firefox add on. It even lets you pick and choose exactly what scripts you want to use. How cool is that?! Are you ready to check this one out? Then let's go!

1.) First, you need to download the Better Gmail Firefox extension here.

2.) After Firefox restarts, the extension will be installed. To start tweaking your Gmail, go to Tools and select Better Gmail.

3.) A list of all the tweaks you can choose from will appear.

4.) As you can see, some of the most popular ones have already been checked. But, don't worry, there are so many more to add. Just click on the tabs of the dialogue box to see the rest of them. There's even a Skin tab you can use to change the look of your Gmail!

5.) You may notice that we've talked about some of these tweaks before and you can find all of them in this tip. There are plenty more packed into this extension though and many of them were created just recently. So, let's explore some of them, shall we?!

Disk Usage as a Progress Bar - This one is just a nifty little script that uses a cool little progress bar to show you the space you have used in your Gmail. It gives you a good idea of how much Gmail storage space you have used.

Inbox Count First - This one puts your Inbox count at the front of the tab so that you can see the number of e-mails you have in your Inbox at any given time. You can do it without having to switch tabs too!

Date Search - This particular Greasemonkey script lets you see a list of your messages by entering in a specific date. Just press the Date Search button, enter in a date and a list of messages you sent or received on that particular date will appear.

Attachment Icons - I think this one is really cool! If you receive an attachment in your e-mail, an icon displaying the type of attachment will show up right next to the subject of the message. You can see how it looks with this screenshot:

One Click Conversations - One Click Conversations is a tool that adds a little icon next to each and every message you get in Gmail. Hovering over this icon will give you a little box with access to e-mailing or chatting with the sender of the e-mail, along with a few other things. If you click on the little icon, you'll see all of the recent conversations you've had with that contact. And best of all, it comes with just one click. Get it? One Click Conversations!

Smart Read Button - The Smart Read Button is one of my favorites. When you click on a conversation and you want to make it read or unread, you have to find that option under the drop down menu. That can be such a pain. Well, this script adds a button to your Gmail that lets you mark conversations read or unread with ease. The script determines whether the selected conversations are read or unread and it makes the button say the opposite. Cool, huh?!

Now, in the Better Gmail Properties, if you click the Sidebar tab, you'll see some options you can choose from to hide some of the things you may find annoying, such as Contacts and Invites. But, along with that, you also have the option of adding some pretty nifty things too! Like these:

Saved Searches - We've talked about this one before, but let me jog your memory a bit. Saved Searches allows you to have a list of things you like to search for, right on your sidebar. Check it out!

Folders4Gmail - Many people wish that Gmail allowed you to have folders. If you're one of them, boy, will you like this one! For example, if you have a folder called "Family" and you want to make a sub-folder called "Dad," just rename the label "Family\Dad." Folders4Gmail will then automatically organize your labels into a collapsible folder view. For more information on Folders4Gmail, just click here.

If you hit the Skins tab, you'll have a whole selection of Gmail themes right at your fingertips as well. What do you say we explore some of them?!

If you're a Mac enthusiast, why not try on the Mac skin for size? It looks like this:

Or, if you like everything neat and tidy, try out the Gmail Super Clean, like this:

There are even a few more you can work with. Try them all out and see which one you like the best!

Finally, if you're ever having problems getting a Gmail tweak to work, go to the Better Gmail Properties, select the About tab and then find the particular script you're having trouble with. Click on the link and you'll then be brought to the script homepage. There you can find exact instructions on how to use the particular script you're having trouble with.

Hope you enjoy this one!

Know, Who is Watching You

Emails are not the only way of delivering trojans onto your hard-drive – if you unwisely click on any links in them – but online in any direction you go cyber-cruising is fraught with a never ending minefield you will have to tread extremely carefully to avoid infection by virus or trojan.

In another article I wrote about trojans being downloaded by unsuspecting visitors to blogs clicking on a link in a 'comment' and leading to downloading a trojan – not the expected pdf or other information.

The sophisticated ease by which trojan writers can make these 'virtual spies' and send them out to the gullible populace online is breathtaking in it's concept.

Underground hacker sites are forums for discussing how to make 'worms', 'virus' and 'trojan' code work to do whatever the intended use is. A lot of these users of these underground hacker forums are 'script kiddies' with no more sophistication than any other 'normal' ten or twelve year old – but the damage by what they do can run into billions of dollars in costs for the 'clean-up' of servers and hard-drives – the anti-virus makers are making a killing selling the latest product to find and remove trojans and virus code from hard-drives world-wide.

The explosion of 'malware' is giving concern to security experts who have the task of securing networks of computers that may encompass the world, and therefore, the entry points for such 'malware' are numbered in their thousands – very large sites with bank and credit card details are especially targeted for information by trojans in particular.

“Worms' are also traveling the internet right now looking to land on any network of computers they can find – it's impossible to get rid of them, you would have to close the internet down altogether to do that – they are designed to look for bank account numbers, credit card details, password and username pairs – giving access to such online organizations as Paypal, Ebay, Etrade, Wellsfargo and many others.

“Worms' are coding that 'learns' and then 'mutates' to adapt to what it has learned – it then replicates itself in all directions it can go to land on yet more hard-drives. The coding of a 'worm' can be totally different to a 'worm' on some other computer somewhere else, due to the fact that they 'learn' and add code as they travel different networks – so therefore, anti-virus software may not detect the 'signature' of a 'worm' on a different network at all, leading to anti-virus software makers sleepless nights trying to keep up with all the different 'signatures' required to download to their subscribers so as to keep their software – reasonably - up to date with anti-viral 'definitions'.

On some underground hacker forums a 'phishing kit' is available for free download – this allows username and password pairs for internet banking to be discovered and the information can be emailed to a 'throw-away' email address inbox to garner the details – but not only the user of the 'phishing kit' gets the information – but the maker of the kit gets this information emailed to them as well.

If you thought – quite reasonably – that makers of trojans had to have a degree in programming languages – think again. Any 'script kiddies' can make a very sophisticated trojan to do whatever it's intended use is determined by the juvenile miscreant, in a software package called 'Shark2' – it's for free download and the program allows for inputting various attributes you want to imbue in the trojan via an intuitive interface – and just click and your trojan code is ready for business.

It is known that a miscreant can add instructions into the trojan code quite easily to operate software on a hard-drive, and even – switch on the 'web cam' to see what unsuspecting users are actually doing in the room near their machines.

Microsoft's Live Meeting

To use Microsoft Live Meeting, you just need a computer, a phone, and an Internet connection. The product is designed to accommodate small or large groups, and supports meetings with up to 2500 participants. Live Meeting is a hosted solution, meaning you don't buy any software to install on your own desktop or server. Microsoft Live Meeting is offered in two versions: Standard and Professional. The Standard version includes all the features of the Professional version except: meeting recording, remote desktop control, and printing and handouts.

Live Meeting has all the standard features of other web conferencing offerings, some of which are described below. It is, as you would expect, integrated with Microsoft Outlook, so you can schedule meetings right from the familiar Outlook calendar.

Live meeting lets you share your desktop and the applications you have there. All your meeting attendees can see the mouse movements you initiate and whatever you input via the keyboard. You are also able to share only a portion of your desktop, if you so choose. It is integrated with Powerpoint - the Powerpoint Viewer provides total support for transitions and animations. In fact, visuals of any type, commonly used document types, applications, or Web pages can be shared.

The Document Viewer allows importing any type of document that can be printed, and the meeting administrator can choose to "save" the documents shown in the meeting, so the attendees can go back and reference them after the meeting is over.

The Remote Control feature (available in the Professional version only) lets the presenter pass control of their desktop to any attendee at the meeting. In addition, the Remote Assistance function lets the presenter initiate sharing on a participant's desktop - with their permission. Live Meeting includes a number of interactive tools that presenters can use to enhance the meeting experience. The whiteboard is a blank page that the presenter can draw on, add text to, and highlight portions of by using the provided annotation tools. The text slide function presents a blank page that the presenter can type on to and share. The Web slide function ( I like this one) lets you take your attendees to any live Web page. Each attendee "gets" a separate copy of the page and can use the page independently.

If you want to get some instant feedback from your attendees, you can use the Polls functionality in Live Meeting. Polls can be prepared ahead of time and presented (or not) under the control of the administrator of the meeting.

Finally, the Question Manager function lets you handle questions from the audience without disrupting the entire meeting. If one person is busy presenting, another can be designated as the question manager, and make the answers to any questions received available only to the question-asker, or to the entire audience.

In summary, Microsoft’s Live Meeting stacks up well against the other products reviewed so far by this writer, and is definitely worth looking at it if you're about to choose a web conferencing provider.

Learning How to Build a Computer

There are three primary methods of learning to build your own computer:
(1) the classroom,
(2) from a website, or
(3) a how-to book. Let’s look at the advantages and disadvantages of each.

Learning in a classroom setting is the time honored way for knowledge to be passed on. While PC building techniques are usually taught as part of electronics courses at your local community college, sometimes adult learning classes will be devoted to the subject as well.

Classrooms provide a structured framework, giving you hands on training with an instructor there to guide you and answer questions. The drawbacks are that you are usually placed in a group of five or six people, where one or two try to hog all the “hands on” time, and constantly ask the instructor questions designed to show how much they know, rather than shining any light on the process. Also, the classes can sometimes be quite expensive.

Websites devoted to the subject offer free information, and occasionally advice in the form of chat rooms and bulletin boards. If you decide to take this route, be aware that some websites are right up to date, and others are “cobweb” sites, posted years ago.

The instruction online can vary from good to incompetent, and it can be hard for the first time computer builder to know the difference. I recommend judging the quality of the writing itself. If the points they’re trying to make aren’t clear, go to another source.

How-to books are a low cost alternative, with a higher caliber of writing and instruction, prepared by professionals. You’d probably be required to purchase one of these if you took a class. Unlike the classroom, you can absorb the material at your own pace, and whenever you have the time.

It will require initiative, because there’ll be no one there to set goals for you, or require you to take a weekly quiz. The subject itself is so fascinating however, that I believe you’ll have no problem motivating yourself.

Michael Quarles is the author of the book "Building a PC for Beginners".

How to Improve Your Typing Speed

Typing is a skill that I never took the time to learn in high school. I never thought I'd need it. As an adult, I have found that typing is a necessity. For an at-home business like medical transcription, typing well and accurately could mean the difference between an average business and ever-increasing profits. This article gives suggestions for those who have lived with the "hunt and peck" method most of their lives and people who have been taught how to type but want to increase their speed and accuracy.

For those of you, like myself, who have grown frustrated with how long it takes you to type a document, now is the time to learn the proper technique. I must warn you: it will be a challenge. Your brain and your hands have grown accustomed to typing the wrong way. The one problem with learning a bad habit is that you have to unlearn it.

To improve your typing speed, invest in typing tutor software. These programs teach keyboard and number pad memorization. Learning proper finger placement on the "home row" is essential to typing success. With the proper foundation your typing speed will increase.

Two programs on the market today are MacMillan Typing Tutor 9 for the PC and Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing 17 for PC and MAC. I learned how to type properly using Mavis Beacon software. The program takes you through the basic principles of typing, using fun games and timed tests at every level to increase speed and accuracy. Once a particular level is mastered the program allows you to move on to the next.

For those who need a refresher course to increase typing speed, online services are available to assist you. The key to your success is practice, practice, and more practice. Typing speed tests to increase your speed are available free on the Web. You are given a sample paragraph to type. Once you are done and hit "submit", the speed and accuracy of your work are translated into WPM (words per minute). You can practice with as many paragraph samples as you want.

A key to success in a typing dependent business it to increase your speed. No matter which category you fall into, consistent practice will determine how much your typing speed will increase. Once success is achieved, a monthly practice session or two wouldn't hurt to keep up your skills.
