Do you have some files/pictures/videos to hide from your children; perhaps some old collection of your own naked pictures? Although this technique is not perfect and can be easily defeated, I’m sure a newbie wouldn’t be able to find your “locked” folder.

Here is the code

cls
@ECHO OFF
title Folder Locker
if EXIST “Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}” goto UNLOCK
if NOT EXIST Locker goto MDLOCKER
:CONFIRM
echo Are you sure u want to Lock the folder(Y/N)
set/p “cho=>”
if %cho%==Y goto LOCK
if %cho%==y goto LOCK
if %cho%==n goto END
if %cho%==N goto END
echo Invalid choice.
goto CONFIRM
:LOCK
ren Locker “Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}”
attrib +h +s “Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}”
echo Folder locked
goto End
:UNLOCK
echo Enter password to Unlock folder
set/p “pass=>”
if NOT %pass%==type your password here goto FAIL
attrib -h -s “Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}”
ren “Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}” Locker
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password
goto end
:MDLOCKER
md Locker
echo Locker created successfully
goto End
:End

Instructions::

1) Copy the give code in a note pad and save the note pad in your pc with the name name.bat (that is with the extension of .bat). you can replace the name portion with anything u want.

Note– In place of password in the code given type your desired password.

2) A batch file will be created where you have saved. Now double click on it , it will make a folder with the name locker at the same place where the batch file is save.

3) Now add the files you want to be locked in that folder.

4) Double click on the batch file. It will ask for locking the folder formed. Type y(yes). The folder will be locked and hidden.

5) To unlock,double click on batch file again and enter the password in the new window opened.

6) Dont forget to hide the batch file!

When you computer suddenly become slow one of the reasons is some Trojan or any malicious program maybe running in the background. To detect any running process, we simply press “Control” + “Alt” + “Del” and click on process tab.

There are so many unfamiliar processes on windows task managers. If you’re not regular PC users, you maybe confused with all the process names and wouldn’t be able to differentiate legitimate process and malicious one. Killing a legitimate process may turn your computer haywire.

Just go to whatisthatfile to identify suspicious processes or files. This site is AJAX powered and you don’t have to click anything. Enter the filename/process and you will get the result.

Most computer users would backup their files to writable DVD, CD or sometime on external hard disk or  thumb drive. There are few services of online backup but not all are free.

Now, few free email services such as Gmail and yahoo are providing Gigabytes amount of storages. This storage is an ideal place for a backup location especially if you have a speedy DSL line. Let me introduce you to Backup to Email.

A new version 1.41 needs only a simple configuration to set. Just set your email address and that’s it. The best thing about Backup to email is the integration of right click into the program. To backup a file, you simply have to right click on a file and a new “Back to Email” option is available.

Dear IT Support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a slow down in the overall performance, particularly in the flower, gifts and jewellery applications that had operated flawlessly under boyfriend 5.0.

In addition, Husband 1.0 un-installed many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, but installed undesirable programs such as Formula One 5.0, NBA 3.0 and World Cup 2.0.

And now Conversation 8.0 no longer runs and House Cleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. I’ve tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.

What can I do?

Signed,

Desperate Housewife

Blogohblog.com sold for USD 10000 at sitepoint yesterday. That is impressive for a blog, which only aged 6 months! As far as I know, this is the first Malaysian blog sold for USD 100000. When Google penalized others for selling text link ads, blogohblog got PR 6 from PR 0! Now who says PageRank is not important. I think this was the most important factor determining the value of Blogohblog at 10K beside the impressive technorati and Alexa ranking. Congratulation BOB!

1) Tech Support:: “What type of computer do you have?”
Customer:: “A white one.”

2) Customer: “You’ve got to fix my computer. I urgently need to print document, but the computer won’t boot properly.”
Tech Support: “What does it say?”
Customer: “Something about an error and non-system disk.”
Tech Support: “Look at your machine. Is there a floppy inside?”
Customer: “No, but there’s a sticker saying there’s an Intel inside.”

3) Customer care officer:I need a product identification no: right now and may I help u in finding it out?
Cust: sure
CCO: could u left click on start and do u find ‘My Computer’?
Cust: I did left click but how the hell do I find your computer?

4) A plain computer illeterate guy rings tech support to report that his
computer is faulty.
Tech: What’s the problem?
User: There is smoke coming out of the power supply.
Tech: You’ll need a new power supply.
User: No, I don’t! I just need to change the startup files.
Tech: Sir, the power supply is faulty. You’ll need to replace it.
User: No way! Someone told me that I just needed to change the startup and it will fix the problem! All I need is for you to tell me the command.
10 minutes later, the User is still adamant that he is right. The tech is frustrated and fed up.
Tech: Sorry, Sir. We don’t normally tell our customers this, but there is undocumented DOS command that will fix the problem.
User: I knew it!
Tech: Just add the line LOAD NOSMOKE.COM at the end of the CONFIG.SYS. Let me know how it goes.
10 minutes later.
User: It didn’t work. The power supply is still smoking.
Tech: Well, what version of DOS are you using?
User: MS-DOS 6.22.
Tech: That’s your problem there. That version of DOS didn’t come with NOSMOKE. Contact Microsoft and ask them for a patch that will give you the file. Let me know how it goes.
1 hour later.
User: I need a new power supply.
Tech: How did you come to that conclusion?
User: Well, I rang Microsoft and told him about what you said, and he started asking questions about the make of power supply.
Tech: Then what did he say?
User: He told me that my power supply isn’t compatible with NOSMOKE.

The above title is so true if you read sarcastic analysis by Assoc Prof Dr Azmi Sharom on the Star few days back. Now i can see clearly the reason why Universiti Malaya had drop in worldwide university ranking. Is this an academic analysis of an Associated Prof? Well, after thinking again and again it doesn’t matter because this “analysis” is coming from someone who has no clue about science. No disrespect to all credible Lawyers out there , but this post is dedicated to him. Ermm, maybe Azmi Sharom should analyze this post instead.

excerpt from The Star article

Apart from important experiments, he is going to be doing so much good in other ways. For example, he has opened the doors of opportunity for ordinary Malaysians. One of these days, I might go to space. To conduct experiments.

Don’t laugh because it is possible, for if the good doctor has proven anything, it is that if the Government is willing to spend a bit of money, anyone can go to space. Kind of like a galactic AirAsia.

I didn’t expect kucau.net to have better PR when few experienced bloggers had drop on their PR. 3 months after I started kucau.net , the first PR update on this site was not impressive with PR 2. Exactly after getting the pathetic PR 2, I joined into PPP to experiment ways to make money online. Don’t get me wrong, I never intended to blog for money. This blog is just a virtual lab for me to experiment web technologies and as a journal for whatever I found interesting online. It was never built for the sole purpose to make money online. My daily income is good enough to feed my family.

After I started PPP, there was PR update on few blogs and my blog suffered a drop to PR 1. I had instinct the punishment was due to my activity in PPP and decided to remove all paid links. (of course after they transfer my money to Paypal, heheh ). Thanks to PapaJoneh for the tip. Well, my action paid off when Google awarded PR4 to this site. I think the new google algorithm will look into artificially increased link to certain sites and punish those publishers and the link receivers. (Maybe this is the reason why Zeo retains his PR 7. Maybe those links are from direct advertisers? )

I’m sure Archimedes would agree with this simple mathematical solution !
