Tips to Effective Internet Searching

Posted by: admin  |  Category: Internet Tools, Tips and Trick

1. Read the Help or Tips Menu

Know your Search Tool. What is the difference between a search directory and a search engine? The Help or Tips Menu will provide valuable information about how to perform an effective search. If you have not looked at Help, Tips, or other guides, you are probably not making the best use of the search tool.

2. Prepare to Search

  • Think about what you are looking for. Create a list of search terms that you can work with. Consider what is the best search tool for the job. Again, know your search tool–which one will find what you are looking. Do you want to use a search engine like Alta Vista or would you rather use a directory like Yahoo?
    • Table Matching What Your Search May Need with Search Tool Features

3. Start Simple and Take Advantage of the Search Tool

  • When you begin a search, use the simple mode to enter search terms.
  • Some of the major tools like Alta Vista, AskJeeves and others have designed the simple mode for ease of use. Natural language searching, links to RealName and DirectHit for finding major sites, and other features like Lycos ‘ First and Fast retrieve good results with minimal expertise. Although the advanced modes offers more control, the simple mode often offers an better results when beginning a search.
  • Refrain from entering a search with + and -, Boolean and, or, and not, parenthetical expressions such as Cleveland and (Indians or Tribe), and other advanced features before you have simply entered the search term or terms. If you are searching a phrase, however, the ” ” around the search will generally lead to better results (see #10).

4. Use Both the Advanced and the Simple Modes of Search Tools

A common misconception is that Advanced Search is for “advanced searchers.” However, the information that you are looking for often dictates how you will search. Learning to work with the Advanced Search modes does not take much more time or energy to learn to use, and it allows you to work with more search options and retrieve sites that are more relevant.

5. Use Unique Terms When Possible to Retrieve More Specific Results

  • Search tools use language to retrieve results. The words you choose will determine the information you find. Since some terms generally have one or more meanings, less than perfect results are common when searching the internet. Try to use words that are specific and describe what you are looking for in unique ways. The “Clustering” or “Folders” feature in search tools such as Teoma, WiseNut, and All the Web and the “Refine” feature in Alta Vista can provide other terms to use when searching.

How to Connect to an FTP Site

Posted by: admin  |  Category: Tips and Trick

FTP allows you to transfer a copy of a file between two computers of the internet if you have an account on both machines or if you use the anonymous account on the machine holding the archive of files. Here’s how you make the initial connection.

  1. FTP allows you to copy (transfer) files from one machine to another, in much the same way as you copy files in your own account’s subdirectories. With ftp you can copy files from your account to a distant or remote computer, and you can copy files on the remote machine to your account.
  2. To establish an ftp connection, as with so many other activities on the internet, you must know the internet address of the remote computer you wish to connect.
  3. To connect, type ftp followed by the address you wish to connect with and enter. When you attempt to establish an ftp connection with another computer, it will ask you to identify your self with username and the password.
  4. If you do not have your own account on the remote computer, you must make use of anonymous ftp. All of the public archives on the internet allow you to use  anonymous ftp. When asked to identify your self, type anonymous for your username and supply your internet e-mail address as your password.
  5. First we’ll establish the connection and see what the anonymous login process looks like. Type ftp rtfm.mid.edu. This will start the ftp program in your machine, causing it to contact the machine you specified (in this case rtfm) and negotiate for an ftp connection.
  6. When the connection is establish, the remote computer will ask you for identification. If you had the account on the machine you would type your username. To employ the anonymous ftp service, type anonymous when prompted for a name.
  7. The remote machine now asks for password. When you are logging in anonymously, enter your full internet address as your password. This allows administrators of the archive to know who is browsing in their archive.
  8. The machine now tells you if it accepts your connection. Occasionally, your request for connection will be rejected because the archive already has many anonymous connections as it will accept. Some archives will display a special message when you do connect . You should take a moment to read this welcoming message. Break this connection and quit the ftp program by typing bye at the ftp prompt.

Tips to Protect the Security of an Organisation

Posted by: admin  |  Category: Networking, Tips and Trick

securityEven in the economic development of the best of times, computers also need to update the rotation, and we also need to decide how to deal with them reasonably. In the era of economic crisis, people have laid off, running high-cost software system had to be eliminated, the system failure resulting in the need to integrate rather than repair, processing time, computer equipment decisions must become more careful. If we pay no attention to this point, the security could be threatened

The following list is about the equipment, key to the safe handling of the 10 decision

1) In the time-out equipment, to ensure that all accounts a letter Interest rates and access control tools have been cleared. You do not want to pre-company personnel, using the original workstation connected to the company’s network it, you do not want to connect a computer for remote network access account without the need of the time the network attacker as a tool bar. Therefore, it is the first thing you should do something.

2) Do not think to fill up your hard drive means that junk data have been safely handled.  If the drive contains confidential information, you should be removed before processing operations. Even if you have not been informed that drive the existence of any confidential data, but also should consider whether it should be examined to prevent the omission; if not found, then, do not just put waste inside. shred utility. For the stored data, the only reformat the drive or run the “Clear” command is not enough; shred utility sort of practical attacks can help you more secure delete files. Contains the encrypted data drive during delete operation should be preceded by processing the data, increasing the difficulty of being restored.

In the most extreme cases, the storage device may require the destruction of the physical layer to prevent confidential data from being leaked to the next one to obtain the drive, even in the company’s internal, but also need to do so.  In this case, you may not need its own hands.  Experts could carry out such work for you, and in the realization of the hard disk drive so that data can not be resumed at this point, they may do better than you.  If your request is very strict, can not believe that specializes in the storage device from an external security of the destruction of the company, they should establish a dedicated in-house team and external contractors, and the same equipment, same equipment, has the same skills.

Tips Backup Hard Drive

Posted by: admin  |  Category: Tips and Trick

Review the files that are stored on my hard drive. You can delete files that have been long unused, or fil pictures or music that is not desirable, or that have large sizes to meet the disk space.
Backup external hard drive to hard drive. Enter an external hard drive port to the USB or FireWire port on the computer. Many external hard drives which already supports plug and play so no need to install the software and it will load automatically when inserted into the computer.

In addition to the external hard drive, you can also be done by storing files on a CD. Insert the writable CD in the CD tray. Select the files to be saved, right-click the file name or icon, select the location “CD Drive” to send files or folders that are stored on the CD.

You can also backup in flash disk. However, the flash also has the capacity constraints. These devices are commonly used for temporary storage or data transfer. Insert flash into the USB port, and the computer will add new destination as an option for file transfer.

Registry Tips

Posted by: admin  |  Category: Tips and Trick

Introduction to the Registry

 

The Registry is a database of nearly all the settings for Windows and your installed applications. The following is a brief collection of information, tips, and troubleshooting techniques involving the Windows Registry. Check out the Glossary for definitions of any of the technical terms used below.

Shameless ad: Each of the Annoyances books has an entire chapter devoted to the registry, and are considered essential guides if you want to learn more.
How the Registry is stored

  • In Windows 95, 98, and Me, the Registry is contained in two hidden files in your Windows directory, called USER.DAT and SYSTEM.DAT.
  • In Windows 2000 and Windows XP, the Registry is stored in several Hives, located in the \windows\system32\config and \Documents and Settings\{username} folders.

Structure of the Registry
The Registry has a hierarchal structure, like the directories on your hard disk. Each branch (denoted by a folder icon in the Registry Editor, see below) is called a Key. Each key can contain other keys, as well as Values. Each value contains the actual information stored in the Registry. There are three types of values; String, Binary, and DWORD – the use of these depends upon the context.

There are six main branches (five in Windows 2000 and Windows XP), each containing a specific portion of the information stored in the Registry. They are as follows:

  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT – this branch contains all of your file types as well as OLE information for all your OLE-aware applications.
  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER – this branch points to the part of HKEY_USERS appropriate for the current user.
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE – this branch contains information about all of the hardware and software installed on your computer. Since you can specify multiple hardware configurations, the current hardware configuration is specified in HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG.
  • HKEY_USERS – this branch contains certain preferences (such as colors and control panel settings) for each of the users of the computer. In Windows 95/98/Me, the default branch here contains the currently-logged in user. In Windows 2000/XP, the default branch here contains a template to be used for newly-added users.
  • HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG – this branch points to the part of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE appropriate for the current hardware configuration.
  • HKEY_DYN_DATA (Windows 95/98/Me only) – this branch points to the part of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, for use with Windows’ Plug-&-Play subsystem.

 

Using the Registry Editor
The Registry Editor (regedit.exe) is included with Windows to enable you to view and edit the contents of the Registry. When you open the Registry Editor, you’ll see a window divided into two panes. The left side shows a tree with folders (see Structure of the Registry above), and the right side shows the contents (values) of the currently selected folder (key).

To expand a certain branch, click on the little plus sign [+] to the left of any folder, or just double-click on the folder. To display the contents of a key (folder), just click the desired key, and look at the values listed on the right side. You can add a new key or value by selecting New from the Edit menu. You can rename any value and almost any key with the same method used to rename files; right-click on an object and click rename, or click on it twice (slowly), or just press F2 on the keyboard. Lastly, you can delete a key or value by clicking on it, and pressing Delete on the keyboard, or by right-clicking on it, and choosing Delete.

Importing, Exporting, and Applying Registry Patches
Although you can edit the Registry with the Registry Editor (see above), you can also make changes by using Registry patches. A Registry patch is a simple text file with the .REG extension that contains one or more keys or values. If you double-click on a .REG file, the patch is applied to the registry. This is a good way to share or back up small portions of the registry for use on your own computer, or someone else’s, because (among other reasons) it’s much simpler and less dangerous than manually editing the Registry.

You can create a Registry patch by opening the Registry Editor, selecting a branch, and choosing Export from the File menu. Then, specify a filename, and press OK. You can then view the Registry patch file by opening it in Notepad (right-click on it and select Edit). Again, just double-click on a Registry patch file (or use Import in the Registry Editor’s File menu) to apply it to the registry.

In the book In addition to covering the previous topics with substantially more depth, the Annoyances books also discuss the following:

  • What to Do With a Corrupted Registry
  • Compacting the Registry
  • Searching the Registry effectively
  • Accessing the Registry with the Windows Script Host (WSH)
  • Using the Registry Checker

Tips on Designing a Flyer

Posted by: admin  |  Category: Graphics and Design, Tips and Trick

These are 3 tips  to make and design flyer. Using them consistently will save you time in the long run and attract more customers.

1. Use digital photography and illustrations to grab attention and tell your story

Establish a visual focus of your flyer design with an attention-grabbing photo or illustration. Choose from stock photo libraries on the Internet or hire an illustrator to do a custom illustration. A few quick tips:
Place your strongest image in the top half of the page where it will get the best visibility.
Using one large picture makes a stronger impression than several smaller ones.
Group several small pictures so they collectively form a single element.
Juxtapose a small picture with a larger one for contrast.
The results? Photos and illustrations help you add the “eye” appeal that translates into “buy” appeal.

2. “Hook” customers with persuasive writing and a “call to action”

Make a habit of doing these two things: Use persuasive words that “hook” their interest, and include a well-defined call to action in every flyer. What can you do to make your flyers more effective? Apply these basics:
Create a catchy or provocative headline
Know who you are writing for and keep their preferences in mind as you write each word.
Put your message in terms of “you” rather than “I” or “we.” People don’t care about what “we” offer; they care about how your product or service can make their lives better.
Make it clear what your readers should do, think, or believe as a result of reading the information you present.
State your intention as a command—known as a “call to action.” It can be as simple as “Call Today” or “Order It Now.”

3. Limit yourself to 2 fonts with their families

To give your flyer a unified and professional look, I recommend that you limit the number of fonts you use. It is best to use one font (preferably a bold one) for your headlines and another font family for the body copy. (A family is all the related styles that come with the font, and usually include bold, italic, and bold italic.) You can use italics or bold variations within the family for pull quotes or call-outs, captions, and sidebars.

How to Maximum Setting World of Warcraft (WOW) Game

Posted by: admin  |  Category: Games, Tips and Trick

Many people play WoW on regular basic computers or cheap laptops, and World of Warcraft actually lets you do that because it has really low minimum system requirements. It can be even run on netbooks on low settings. And we can’t blame you, at the end there are people who don’t care about graphics but just enjoy the gameplay itself, storyline, communication, dynamics and atmosphere. But ask yourself why some old black and white movies had been rebuilt in color? Because they are interesting too and probably they look better in color! Same goes for World Of Warcraft – it looks and plays so much better on powerful computers with maximum settings and resolutions. You will catch yourself simply enjoying beautiful scenes, landscapes, sunsets – you will see this game in completely new perspective.

Now what is it about a computer that will let you enjoy WoW as we have indicated above? First of all it should be a gaming computer – not some regular desktop from popular retail store or cheap notebook. And gaming computers are really different from all that no matter how many times you hear the opposite. Regular computer manufacturers try to lower the costs by installing cheap hardware, crappy onboard graphics, stock coolers, even those cases they use do not inspire anyone let alone hardcore gamers. Gaming computer is built and optimized for maximum performance, that comes at a price sometimes. It pays off to have a great custom built computer what it comes to PC games.

Lets start from the beginning – most important hardware parts that will affect your gaming and WoW experience in particular – CPU (central processing unit – processor for short) and videocard (or GFX, graphics accelerator, video adapter). These two parts will have the greatest impact on FPS (frames per second) when resolution and all settings are set to maximum.
CPU – processor affects speed of the computer overall, no matter what you do. There are some processor intensive applications like video editing and gaming, so it pays of to have the best CPU you can afford. I general any modern dual core processor will be good for World of Warcraft, but we have some recommendations as to what would be more efficient and will not hit your pocket hard. Right now you can select between great AMD and Intel offerings.
AMD has many dual and quad core processors that are really cost efficient and will be a great option for WoW. For example Athlon II X2 240 with 2.8Ghz would be our minimum recommendation, it’s great for mid-high settings and monitors up to 22”, and it’s really cheap, can be paired with inexpensive motherboard and either DDR2 or DDR3 memory – lots of options to build low priced computer. If you want to really play on max settings in any WoW game zone and biggest raids – you will need one of the Phenom II processors, and while there are some dual and triple core editions we would recommend Phenom II X4 945 or better to stick with. Those quad cores are not expensive and can be a base for really great gaming machine under $1000 that will play any game.

Intel – still offers Core 2 processors that are great for WoW but are a little outdated. If you want really cheap computer – stick with AMD, if you want something little more expensive – got for new i3/i5/i7 CPU line. Most affordable would be Core i3 530 that can be paired with mid range H55 motherboard and DDR3 memory. It is just a dual core but has hyper threading making it virtual Quad and Turbo-Boost that increases CPU frequency based on the load, works especially good with single threaded applications and WoW. To make sure you will never see FPS drop below 30 you can pick i5 750 which is less than a $100 more but it’s a real Quad Core processor that will not let you down in any scenario (get P55 chipset motherboard with it). And finally Core i7 – the king, excellent performance in all applications and games, probably an overkill for WoW but it’s a great investment since it will not be outdated for quite some time.

Videocard – second in importance, sometimes first, depends on the game you play. Videocards create picture you see on your monitor, more complicated images require more power form your videocard. Some integrated adapter is fine for Windows and internet browsing but it will not play any real game the way it should be. You will need separate videocard to use high resolutions and settings. There are many popular videocards on the market, for WoW you can pick one of the older ones since thay can be cheap and still offer excellent World Of Warcraft gaming experience. From bottom to top our recommendations are:
ATI Radeon 4650 512Mb DDR3
Nvidia GeForce GT 220 512Mb or 1Gb DDR2 or DDR3
ATI Radeon 4670 1Gb DDR3
Nvidia GeForce GT 240 512Mb DDR5 (better than 1Gb DDR3)
Nvidia GeForce 9800GT 512Mb DDR3 (older but with super performance – your best pick for now)
ATI Radeon 5670 1Gb GDDR5 (can have some issues with drivers but good performer)
Nvidia GeForce GTS 250 1Gb DDR3
ATI Radeon 5750 1Gb GDDR5
Anything more expensive would probably not give you much of a benefit for the money you pay. When you set Shades to the Ultra it will stress even most expensive videocards so everyone plays with High anyways, all other settings can be set on maximum as well as resolution with up to 28” monitor if you pick one of the last cards on the list.

Memory – If you have at least 4Gb of RAM you don’t have to worry about too much. Even if you have only 2Gb and still using Windows XP you are good to go if you are on a tight budget. Windows Vista or “7” will be much better with 4Gb RAM if you want to have something left for WoW. Just watch for the memory type that is compatible with your CPU and motherboard. Like all i3/i5/i7 will require DDR3 memory, some AMD processors work with DDR2, they are about the same price now so you’d better pick DDR3 since it’s newer and faster. Memory varies be speed, like DDR2 can be 667Ghz, most popular 800Mhz and faster 1066Mhz which does not work with all processors and motherboards. If you get DDR3 then you’d better go with 1600Mhz as the most cost efficient, popular, supported RAM. If you are thinking about 6 or 8Gb, then keep in mind that WoW does not need it, you have some other apps that will use that much – go for it. Of course if you pick i7 CPU with X58 board then you should get 6Gb triple channel memory kit for the best performance.

Motherboard – not so important as long as it’s more or less modern. Just watch for CPU and RAM compatibility. For AMD processors better pick some AM3 board with DDR3 memory support, good chipsets are 785G, 790GX, 890GX, 790X. Some cheaper ones are GeForce 6100/6150/7025, or AMD 740, 760, 780G. For Intel – it all depends on CPU you pick. For Core 2 you better go with P55, or if you don’t have a lot to spend you can get P43 or G41 – really cut down in features but will do for now. Core i3 and i5 Dual core better work with H55, Quad Core i5 and i7 LGA1156 need P55, Socket LGA1366 Core i7 need X58 chipset. Some motherboards like AMD 785G or 890GX have pretty good onboard video that can play WOW but don’t expect too much from it, it can be fine for some time if you are saving for the new videocard for example.

Hard Drive – modern drives do not differ too much, get one with SATA interface and 7200RPM speed, and it will be fine. There are some “green” HDDs with 5400RPM but they are better for storage not for gaming. SSD (solid state) are still too expensive and not popular. WD VelociRaptor model with 10000RPM is an excellent choice if you can afford it, really cuts down loading times.

Power supply – depends on you CPU and videocard. Always make sure that you get reputable brand, or at least read some reviews if you are not sure or want to save some money. There are good cheap PSU out there but you have to be careful picking one. More expensive ones are usually better, some good brands are: Antec, Corsair, Thermaltake, Cooler Master. If your videocard does not require extra 6pin PCI-e power connector then you should be good with 400-500W minimum, better videocards work good on 500-600W power supplies. For all videocards listed above you do not need more than 600W even with i7 CPU but you can surely pick any PSU you like with more power if you think you may need it.

Case – some think it’s not important – they didn’t see real gaming cases. Advanced chassis for gaming computers not only looks good with LEDs and side windows, but it also cools good. There are usually bigger than average fans (120-200m), there are more of those fans, perforated panels for better ventilation, advanced PSU and fan placement, hideouts for professional cabling and much more.

CPU Cooler – one more thing that makes gaming computers different – use of aftermarket coolers. Good CPU cooler works quieter and more efficient than stock ones. Aftermarket cooler will prolong life of your processor making it work on lower temperatures and will allow overlocking – speeding up CPU without harm to it as long as temps are within limits. For example Core i7 920 with cooler Xigmatek Dark Knight can work on 3.6Ghz frequency instead of 2.66Ghz default. It makes a lot of difference!

DVD, Blue-Ray, Wireless, card readers – all those parts do not affect your WoW gameplay, unless of course your wireless adapter drops connection all the time.

OS – Operating System. World of Warcraft works good on Windows XP, it requires less power from the computer. We would recommend you to skip Vista all together. Windows 7 64bit is the best operating system for any modern computer and that is what we recommend to get today. Try to get at least 4Gb RAM with it.

Monitor – as big as you can get! If you computer would not be powerful enough for it’s highest resolution in games – you can always turn resolution down, but WOW looks so good on 1920×1080 res that you should do all you can to play on it.

Well, that covers pretty much everything you need to know about gaming computer for World of Warcraft. On a side note – I have played it on AMD X2 5000+ overclocked to 2.8Ghz and integrated GeForce 6150 with only 2Gb RAM. It is playable on 1280×768 resolution with mid-low settings, so don’t worry if you don’t have much money now. You can always upgrade your computer later.

4 Ways to Protect the Confidential Files / Folders

Posted by: admin  |  Category: Tips and Trick

1. Hide Folders

Hide Folders is robust and powerful Windows application for hiding folders with private data. Hidden folders can not be accessed, viewed, searched or deleted. Other users will not be aware of their existence. There is no limits on number of folders to hide or on the file types, names, extensions or characters.

hide folders

 Features :

  • Securely hide folders with your confidential data
  • Works on Windows XP and Windows Vista, supports NTFS, FAT32 and FAT file system.
  • Password protection – folders can be unhid only after entering a password within the program.
  • Hidden folders can not be uncovered by deinstalling the program.
  • Unlimited number of folders can be hidden.
  • Folders are hidden even in Windows safe mode.

Even though it does not provide encryption for securing your data, it is a great tool to have if you have sensitive or personal data on your system.

2. My LockBox

My Lockbox™ is a security software enabling you to password protect any folder on your computer.

The protected folder (lockbox) is hidden from any user and application of your system, including Administrator and System itself. It is impossible to access the lockbox not only from the local computer, but also from the net.

Features: -

  • Very easy in use
  • Almost any folder on your computer can be password protected
  • Instant protection – no file scrambling or moving to another place
  • Lockbox folder is inaccessible even by the system administrators
  • Lockbox folder is inaccessible both locally and remotely.
  • Lockbox folder can be protected in Windows safe mode

  • Hotkeys support – you can popup Control Panel with a simple keystroke.
  • Skinned user interface

3. Easy File Locker

Easy File Locker is a light-weight and easy-to-use file lock software product for Windows. It can protect your private files and folders. With its great protection, users will not be able to open, read, modify, delete, move, copy the locked files/folders, or even not be able to see it. The hidden files/folders will be totally invisible to all users and to any program.

  This is a nice and small utility but it doesnt provide a great level of security like 256 bit encryption etc. Also the User interface is that great and does not supports drag & drop feature. Still lot of work needs to done on it but still its a good product.

4. SafeHouse Explorer

SafeHouse Explorer makes your secret files invisible and hides them from snoopers, intruders and anyone else who doesn’t have your permission to view them.

SafeHouse Explorer uses passwords and maximum-strength 256-bit advanced encryption to completely hide and defend your sensitive files, including photos, videos, spreadsheets, databases and just about any other kind of file that you might have.

This is a much better tool for everyone as it provides encryption to your data making it a hard nut to crack by anyone including hackers. The interface is just like windows Explorer and hence easy to use too.
