| Doing Multiple Downloads |
| Thursday, August 24, 2006 |
Ever wonder if you can do more than one download at a time? Well, you can! In fact, Firefox will allow multiple downloads "out of the box".
Internet Explorer, on the other hand, will only allow two simultaneous downloads. What kind of geek downloads just two files at a time? Geeze! Sure it's better than just one, but definitely a bummer if you're on a high speed connection. Well, here's a little registry hack that will boost you to a whopping 10 downloads at a time. Makes you shudder at all the power you're about to wield with that little mouse, doesn't it?
As always, registry settings are not for those with weak digital constitutions.
If you're not 100% comfortable with accessing your registry, I suggest you just stick to 2 downloads at a time or give FireFox a try. As always, you do the following at your own risk.
Also, this was only tested with IE 6, not sure what it will do with older versions.
OK, that's enough covering my behind - here's the hack:
1. Hit the Start button, Run. Type in: regedit
And hit Enter (easy so far, huh?).
2. Now, navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Software>Microsoft>Windows>CurrentVersion>Internet Settings
3. Now, you'll need to right-click on a blank area in the right-hand pane and select New (only option), then DWORD value
When you do, you'll see a new key that needs a name.
You'll want to name that key:
MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server
Probably best just to copy and paste that line :-)
Now, double-click the key and put this in for the value:
0000000a
4. OK, almost there. You need one more DWORD value. Once again, Right-click inside of the right-hand pane and select New, DWORD value. Name this one:
MaxConnectionsPerServer
Again, copy and pasting the above would probably be best.
Double-click that new key and give it this value:
0000000a
Your two new values should look like this (note that the 0x and (10) are added by windows - don't add them to the values I just gave you):
5. Exit out of the registry editor and restart your computer. You should now be able to download up to 10 files at a time using IE. That's like 5X the fun you were having before! |

| WHAT IS A VIRUS? |
| Monday, May 08, 2006 |
1. Virus is a little program that its activity can destruct/destroy some files
and a computer system. If this program does not open, it' still stays
inactive and could not or will not destroy anything.
2. Virus program is brought by an email-virus as attachment, where it
has a server itself (virus server). Virus attachments cannot go to another
email to be an attachment, such as an email was sent by user
(netter), member, moderator etc. It must be brought by its email itself,
called EMAIL VIRUS.
3. EMAIL VIRUS would send by any email address of any account that it
finds from some mailbox and address-book's another person at anywhere.
So that a virus attachment could to become look like sent by our
friend, our member, our moderator etc.. In this case even my be able the
virus attachment was sent by your email address yourself.
4. Identification of virus attachment: it has a small size file,
<100KB, and it has file name extension such as:
*.scr
*.clp
*.pif
*.bat
*.exe
*.com
*.txt
*.doc
*.lhz
*.rhz
and some time it's compressed by *.zip file.
Also probably its name is HotMovie.MPEG__________scr.
Actualy the file is virus attachment file with extension .scr
5) Beside said above you may be able to know an EMAIL VIRUS from its
subject (an amazing name), such as:
Weah ^_^ :))
Hokki=)
Hi :)
ello!=))
Hello -:))
Hey, dude, it's me ^_^
access Mpeg
Re: your text
Re: Text message
Re: Msg reply
Re: Is that your document?
Re: Hot Movie(MPEG)
Re: Information...
Re; Important info
Re: This is your photos!:)
and more, and more...
If you received emails with extensions or subject matter as above, you should delete it. Please dont open it under any circumstances.
By the way don't give your email subject with a name look like EMAIL
VIRUS subject otherwise your email would be deleted by the recipient.
*** If one of your file in your hard disk has infected by virus, it'll
change into function to be virus and might could infected all of files in
your hard disk. |

| Windows XP Chkdsk - > How To Use The Command Line & Graphical Version |
| Tuesday, May 02, 2006 |
When Windows XP encounters a problem and has to shut down, perhaps there is a power cut, a motherboard problem etc..
The operating system will "flag" the volume as "dirty" and attempt to check it on reboot.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NB - You can manually check the state of the dirty flag for your C: drive. To do this at the Command Prompt type : fsutil dirty query c:
The response should be Volume - c: is NOT Dirty
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
However, you the computer user can manually run the chkdsk command to check for problems.
To do this:
Step One: Click Start, select Run
Step Two: In the box, type cmd
Step Three: Click Ok
Step Four: Run the chkdsk utility by typing in the following command:
chkdsk c:
..or
chkdsk c: /f /r
NOTE: The /f command automatically fixes any errors encountered, the /r command locates bad sectors and recovers readable information.
NOTE: I am also assuming the drive you wish to check is the C: drive.
Step Five: A reboot is normally required for the chkdsk program to lock the disk and run correctly (this is typical on machines that have only one volume), so simply restart the computer and chkdsk will run automatically. When it's finished, (This process can take quite a while depending on the size of your disk, etc.), it will boot back to normal Windows.
On Rebooting the PC you will see the disk being checked as in the screenshot below:
This process can take up to an hour!
Windows XP Chkdsk - How To Using The Graphical Version...
In addition to the command line utility detailed above. It is possible to access a graphical version of the Windows XP chkdsk.
To do this:
Step One: Open "My Computer", RIGHT click on the C drive icon, choose "Properties".
Step Two: When that loads, click on the "Tools" tab, then click on the "Check Now" button in the "Error Checking" section.
Step Three: When that little window loads, place a CHECK in BOTH boxes, then click on "Start Now".
Step Four: A message will pop up saying that Error Checking will run after you restart the computer, so......Restart the computer. Error Checking will run automatically after the restart and it locks you out from doing anything until it's finished. It takes a little time to perform the task but after it's finished, it will restart into Windows automatically.
The screenshot below shows the error checking window that should appear.
More Options...
This article is only a basic introduction to using the Windows XP Chkdsk utility. In real life it is actually far more in depth than this. For instance when Windows XP reboots after initiating Chkdsk it is actually Autochk.exe that runs on reboot!
Because Autochk.exe can be controlled by setting or resetting registry settings, it is possible to programmatically schedule volumes for repair using Regini scripts.
These topics are beyond the scope of the average user so I do not discuss them here.

3. Click the Device Manager button.
4. Select the device you want to update by hitting the plus sign next to the hardware category. The specific device shows up.
5. Right-click on the device and select Update Driver.

I have got some good Tips n Tricks from few authors, lots of easy steps which i dont know till now.
Turn Off the Recycle Bin's Delete Confirmation
When emptying the Recycle Bin you are given a prompt that asks if you are sure you want to delete the files. For most people this step can seem redundant. If you needed the file, why would it be in the recycle bin? For those people who find this feature more of a hindrance than a help, here's how to remove it.
1. Right-click the Recycle Bin.
2. Click Properties.
3. From the Global tab uncheck the Display delete confirmation dialog box.
4. Click Apply>OK.
Solving Shutdown Errors
Most Windows users are used to their computer occasionally "hanging" when they're attempting to shut them down. When this happens, you are forced to manually turn the computer off which can damage your system.
While there are a number of reasons why this can happen, in some cases it's due to the "Fast Shutdown" feature in Windows 98. This enhancement helps you turn off your computer quicker but if you have this "hanging" problem, you might want to consider disabling it.
1. From the Start menu choose: Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Information.
2. On the window that appears, click the Tools menu.
3. Select the System Configuration Utility.
4. From the dialog box, click on the General Tab.
5. Click the Advanced button.
6. From the dialog box, check Disable fast shutdown box.
7. Click the OK button.
