Most of us do not notice this problem as we do not care about it. But speaking the truth Turn off button is really necessary in the log on screen as we should be able to shut down the computer without knowing the password. Otherwise you will not be able to shutdown the computer safely without knowing the password. This problem of missing shutdown button from the welcome screen or the log on page may be a result of some registry change by some of the software you install. But this problem has a very simple solution. You just need to change a registry value.</p> <p><a title="Missing turn off button from Wecome screen" href="http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/7467/logonwithoutturnoff.png" target="_blank"><img title="Click here to see Missing turn off button from Wecome screen image" alt="Click here to see Missing turn off button from Wecome screen image" src="http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/7467/logonwithoutturnoff.png" width="491" height="307" /></a></p> <p>In Windows XP Home Edition or Vista Basic unlike the professional or ultimate editions which doesn’t support gpedit.msc or secpol.msc this problem can be solved by using only the registry. </p> <p>I am presenting two methods here. Both the methods need your registry registry to be enabled. While performing the steps if you get an error message like Registry Editor has been disabled by your Administrator" then you have to enable the regedit command. <a title="Click here To see how to enable registry editor" href="http://techrena.blogspot.com/2008/11/how-to-enable-registry-editor-regedit.html" target="_blank">To enable registry editor Click here</a>.</p> <h4>Method 1: By using Command Prompt</h4> <p><strong>Step 1</strong>: Open a command prompt (Press Start+R, Type cmd and Enter) </p> <p><strong>Step 2</strong>: Copy the command below and paste it in the command prompt.

The thing is that now a days we do not use CDs anymore, we use USB drives for our day to day activities. Now what if you want to run <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophcrack" target="_blank">Ophcrack</a> from your USB drive instead of wasting money on a CD or if your CD ROM Drive is not working? Moreover using USB drives are more convenient and common these days. Here I have an Ideal solution for this question. But if you are not interested in recovering the password or you simply want to<strong> reset or delete</strong> the password then there is much easier technique which requires only a 3 MB file instead of Ophcrack. Just see how to <a title="Reset Windows Password Using A USB drive or a CD" href="http://www.techrena.net/computers/reset-windows-xp-vista-7-password-usb-pen-drive-cd/" target="_blank">Reset windows Password Using a USB drive or a CD</a></p> <p>In this method we will be using a program called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7-Zip" target="_blank">7-ZIP</a> for extracting the ISO file and some batch files for making the drives bootable.</p> <p><strong>USB Requirement:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Minimum 512 MB for Windows XP </li> <li>Minimum 1 GB for Windows Vista Or Windows 7 Beta </li> <li>Format: FAT32 </li> </ul> <p>I have tried this method in Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 Beta and it works perfectly fine. Follow the steps below:</p> <p><strong>Step 1</strong>: Download the ISO File For Ophcrack Live CD 2.1.0 From the links below: (Choose according to your operating system). If you have already downloaded skip this step.</p> <p><strong>Windows XP:</strong></p> <p>Size: 452 MB</p> <p><a title="Download Ophcrack Live CD for WINDOWS XP" href="http://downloads.sourceforge.net/ophcrack/ophcrack-xp-livecd-2.1.0.iso" target="_blank">http://downloads.sourceforge.net/ophcrack/ophcrack-xp-livecd-2.1.0.iso</a></p> <p><strong>Windows Vista or 7:</strong></p> <p>Size: 532 MB</p> <p><a title="Download Ophcrack Live CD for Windows Vista & 7" href="http://downloads.sourceforge.net/ophcrack/ophcrack-vista-livecd-2.1.0.iso" target="_blank">http://downloads.sourceforge.net/ophcrack/ophcrack-vista-livecd-2.1.0.iso</a></p> <p><strong>Step 2</strong>: Download the ZIP File For making USB boot version of Ophcrack Live CD From the link below:</p> <p>Size: 414 KB</p> <strong><a href="http://www.techrena.net/downloads/usbboot.zip">http://www.techrena.net/downloads/usbboot.zip</a> <br /> <br />Step 3</strong>: Extract the usbboot.zip file at any location of your computer, not in the USB drive. <p>Step 4: Copy the Ophcrack Live CD ISO file to the usbboot folder. Double Click the USBOphcrack.bat (ExtractophIso.bat) file.</p> <p><a title="Ophcrack Usb boot" href="http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/5793/extracophiso.jpg" target="_blank"><img title="Click here to View Ophcrack Usb boot image" alt="Click here to View Ophcrack Usb boot image" src="http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/5793/extracophiso.jpg" width="491" height="348" /></a></p> <p><strong>Step 5</strong>: Type the letter of your USB drive and press Enter (The USB Drive should be Formatted with FAT32 File system before starting the process). Here in my case the Drive letter is ‘h’.</p> <p><a href="http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/6669/selectdrive.jpg" target="_blank"><img title="Click here to View Select Drive Image" alt="Click here to View Select Drive Image" src="http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/6669/selectdrive.jpg" width="493" height="249" /></a></p> <p><strong>Step 6</strong>: Wait for the Extraction process to complete.

You need to set the boot order to Boot from USB Drive as the first option if you have not set USB Drive as the first option. To do this you need to go to bios setup and change the order. For most of the systems the keys like DELETE, F10, F2, F12 etc are used for going to the Bios setup. But here I have used the Boot Menu Key which will show the available boot options during start up. For my System(HP) the boot menu key is Esc. For Compaq Systems it is usually F9. So if you know the Boot menu key then no need to change the order. Just Select USB Drive from the menu.</p> <p><a href="http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/4169/bootmenu1.png" target="_blank"><img title="Click here to view bootmenu.png" alt="Click here to view bootmenu.png" src="http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/4169/bootmenu1.png" width="489" height="196" /></a></p> <p><strong>Step 8</strong>: Now after the boot from USB Drive you can follow the Steps 4 to Step 7 given in the previous post:</p> <h5><a title="Windows Password Recovery using Ophcrack" href="http://techrena.blogspot.com/2009/03/windows-password-recoverycrack-windows.html" target="_blank">Windows Password Recovery Crack Windows XP or Vista Password Using Ophcrack</a></h5> <h3>Important:</h3> <p>1.

The very first thing you should try is to go to safe mode and check whether you have set your administrator password. But if the administrator password is also set then you may be thinking the only way is to format the computer and install fresh Windows XP or Vista. Well, here I am going to suggest a method here that will simply recover your lost passwords, both administrator and user in few seconds or at most some minutes without installing any software or without breaking your head. But if you are not interested in recovering the password or you simply want to<strong> reset or delete</strong> the password then there is much easier technique which requires only a 3 MB file instead of Ophcrack. Just see how to <a title="Reset Windows Password Using A USB drive or a CD" href="http://www.techrena.net/computers/reset-windows-xp-vista-7-password-usb-pen-drive-cd/" target="_blank">Reset windows Password Using a USB drive or a CD</a></p> <p>Here, We will be using a software called <a title="OPHCrack Wikipedia Link" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophcrack" target="_blank">Ophcrack</a> which is an open source (GPL licensed) program that cracks Windows passwords by using LM hashes through <a title="Rainbow tables Wikipedia Link" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Table" target="_blank">rainbow tables</a>. But you may be thinking whether it is a legal one. Yes it is completely legal according to <a title="OPHCrack Wikipedia Link" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophcrack" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>. But you should not use this software for illegal purposes like unauthorized access to other’s system. I have tried this method in Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 Beta and it works perfectly fine for an alphanumeric password length up to 14.</p> <p>The method is a very simple one. You just need to download the software which is 452MB for XP and 532MB for Vista or Windows 7. Ophcrack comes in bootable Live CD 2.1.0 ISO and installation files. Here we will be using the Live CD method where no installation is required. Follow the steps below:</p> <p><strong>Step 1</strong>: Download the ISO File For Ophcrack Live CD 2.1.0 From the links below: (Choose according to your operating system)</p> <p><strong>Windows XP:</strong></p> <p>Size: 452 MB</p> <p><a title="Download Ophcrack Live CD for WINDOWS XP" href="http://downloads.sourceforge.net/ophcrack/ophcrack-xp-livecd-2.1.0.iso" target="_blank">http://downloads.sourceforge.net/ophcrack/ophcrack-xp-livecd-2.1.0.iso</a></p> <p><strong>Windows Vista or 7:</strong></p> <p>Size: 532 MB</p> <p><a title="Download Ophcrack Live CD For Windows Vista and 7" href="http://downloads.sourceforge.net/ophcrack/ophcrack-vista-livecd-2.1.0.iso" target="_blank">http://downloads.sourceforge.net/ophcrack/ophcrack-vista-livecd-2.1.0.iso</a></p> <p><strong>Step 2</strong>: After the download is completed successfully burn the ISO file to a CD using a burning software. ISO files can be directly burnt (Just open with burners like Nero etc.). You should not use data mode or any other mode to burn. The CD is a bootable one. But if you do not want to use a CD, you can very well use a USB Flash Drive to run the program. <a title="Ophcrack USB BOOT method" href="http://techrena.blogspot.com/2009/03/ophcrack-usb-booting-windows-password.html" target="_blank">Click here To see the USB Boot Technique</a>.</p> <p><strong>Step 3</strong>: Insert the CD to your CD/DVD drive. Restart the System. You need to set the boot order to Boot from CD as the first option if you have not set CD drive as the first option. To do this you need to go to bios setup and change the order. For most of the systems the keys like DELETE, F10, F2, F12 etc are used for going to the Bios setup. But here I have used the Boot Menu Key which will show the available boot options during start up. For my System(HP) the boot menu key is Esc. For Compaq Systems it is usually F9. So if you know the Boot menu key then no need to change the order. Just Select CD/DVD ROM from the menu.</p> <p><a title="Boot Menu" href="http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/5531/bootmenu2.png" target="_blank"><img title="Click here to view the Boot Menu Image" alt="Click here to view the Boot Menu Image" src="http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/5531/bootmenu2.png" width="489" height="196" /></a></p> <p><strong>Step 4</strong>: After booting from the Live CD, wait for it to load and select Ophcrack VESA mode(Recommended). If you have a graphics card you can try Graphics Mode.</p> <p><a title="Ophcrack Menu" href="http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/4920/ophcrackmenu.jpg" target="_blank"><img title="Click here to View Ophcrack Menu Image" alt="Click here to View Ophcrack Menu Image" src="http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/4920/ophcrackmenu.jpg" width="484" height="282" /></a></p> <p></p> <p><strong>Step 5</strong>: If you have more than one partition containing the password hashes it will ask you to select one. But most of the computers will have only one hash partition, so you may not see this step. Select any partition and try if it asks you as shown below.</p> <p><a title="Select hash Partition" href="http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/6669/selectdrive.jpg" target="_blank"><img title="Click here to View Select hash Partition Image" alt="Click here to View Select hash Partition Image" src="http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/6669/selectdrive.jpg" width="484" height="156" /></a></p> <p><strong>Step 6</strong>: Wait for Ophcrack to run and find your password. After getting the password you need,you can simply click exit even if the progress is not 100%. No need to wait till end.</p> <a title="Ophcrack Progress" href="http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/7706/ophcrack.jpg" target="_blank"><img title="Click here to View Ophcrack Progress Image" alt="Click here to View Ophcrack Progress Image" src="http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/7706/ophcrack.jpg" width="485" height="328" /></a> <p>Here I had set the password as techrena. It took around 1 min 20 sec to find this password.</p> <p><strong>Step 7</strong>: After the process it will ask you to press any key to exit Ophcrack. Then Type ‘y’ to shutdown the System. </p> <a title="Ophcrack Shutdown" href="http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/8217/finishophcrack.jpg" target="_blank"><img title="Click here to View Ophcrack Shutdown Image" alt="Click here to View Ophcrack Shutdown Image" src="http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/8217/finishophcrack.jpg" width="486" height="252" /></a> <p>Now start your system. Enter the password you have found. And that’s it, see how simple it is!</p> <p><strong>Important:</strong> </p> <p>1. You can use any USB Drive instead of the CD to run Ophcrack.

And now, when you can’t remember the name of a song or an artist playing, with the press of a button iPod shuffle tells you the name of the song and artist. iPod shuffle can even tell you status information, such as battery life. With the ability to hold up to 1,000 songs and the VoiceOver feature, you can now easily switch between multiple playlists on your iPod shuffle. iPod shuffle can speak 14 languages including English, Czech, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish. </p> <p>The new iPod shuffle comes in silver or black and features a sleek and ultra-wearable design with a built-in stainless steel clip. iPod shuffle is the smallest music player in the world and is incredibly easy to clip to almost anything and take with you everywhere you go. iPod shuffle features up to 10 hours of battery life.</p> <p> <a title="iPod Black and Silver" href="http://imgcash5.imageshack.us/img113/7844/ipodshuffleimage5200903.jpg" target="_blank"><img title="iPod Black and Silver" alt="iPod Black and Silver" src="http://imgcash5.imageshack.us/img113/7844/ipodshuffleimage5200903.jpg" width="483" height="410" /></a></p> <p> </p> <h4>Specifications And Price:</h4> <table border="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="400"><tbody> <tr> <td valign="top" width="200"> <p>Size and weight</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="200"> <p>Height: <br />1.8 inches (45.2 mm) <br />Width: <br />0.7 inch (17.5 mm) <br />Depth: <br />0.3 inch (7.8 mm) including clip <br />True volume: <br />0.26 cu inches (4,326 cu mm) <br />Weight: <br />0.38 ounce (10.7 grams)</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="200"> <p>Capacity</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="200"> <p>4GB flash drive <br />Holds up to 1,000 songs in 128-Kbps AAC format3 <br />Stores data via USB flash drive</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="200"> <p>Battery and power</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="200"> <p>Built-in rechargeable lithium polymer battery <br />Playback time: Up to 10 hours when fully charged <br />Charging via USB to computer system or power adapter (sold separately) <br />80% charged in 2 hrs; fully charged in 3 hrs.</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="200"> <p>Headphones </p> </td> <td valign="top" width="200"> <p>Apple Earphones with <strong><em><a href="http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/9899/ipodcontrol.png" target="_blank">Remote</a></em></strong> <br />Frequency response: 20Hz to 20,000Hz <br />Impedance: 32 ohms</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="200">Environmental requirements</td> <td valign="top" width="200"> <p>Operating temperature: 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C) <br />Nonoperating temperature: -4° to 113° F <br />(-20° to 45° C) <br />Relative humidity: 5% to 95% noncondensing <br />Maximum operating altitude: 10,000 feet (3000 m)</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="200">Pricing & Availability </td> <td valign="top" width="200">Suggested price of $79 (US) through the Apple Store</td> </tr> </tbody></table> <h4> </h4> <h4>See how the new iPod controls works Watch Video:</h4> <p><object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VT_jGRE0SC0&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VT_jGRE0SC0&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object></p> Dennishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12806715690778184427noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-709119614155340411.post-308372892632403202009-03-12T20:50:00.001+05:302009-04-13T20:42:16.059+05:30Hide disk drives or partitions in Windows<p>A Tutorial on how to hide drives in my computer for windows systems</p> <p>Hiding a folder or a file is a normal day to day process. But what do we do if you want to hide a drive or a partition. Sometimes we may want to hide a disk drive or a partition for our privacy. This question has been a problem with me till now. I have found out that it is a very easy process which needs to create a simple registry. We should note that the method i am going to give here does not delete any of your disk drives, data, and we can find the drives in the disk management. We can access the hidden drives from the address bar e.g. type D: in the address bar and enter to explorer D drive etc.</p> <table border="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="400"><tbody> <tr> <td valign="top" width="66">Drive:</td> <td valign="top" width="66">Value</td> <td valign="top" width="66">Drive:</td> <td valign="top" width="66">Value</td> <td valign="top" width="65">Drive:</td> <td valign="top" width="67">Value</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="66">A</td> <td valign="top" width="66">1</td> <td valign="top" width="66">B</td> <td valign="top" width="66">2</td> <td valign="top" width="65">C</td> <td valign="top" width="67">8</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="66">D</td> <td valign="top" width="66">16</td> <td valign="top" width="66">E</td> <td valign="top" width="66">32</td> <td valign="top" width="65">F</td> <td valign="top" width="67">64</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="66">G</td> <td valign="top" width="66">128</td> <td valign="top" width="66">H</td> <td valign="top" width="66">256</td> <td valign="top" width="65">I</td> <td valign="top" width="67">512</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="66">J</td> <td valign="top" width="66">1024</td> <td valign="top" width="66">K</td> <td valign="top" width="66">2048</td> <td valign="top" width="65">Continue</td> <td valign="top" width="67">-------</td> </tr> </tbody></table> <p><strong>Show All Drives: Value = 0</strong></p> <p><strong>How It works:</strong></p> <p>A drive is assigned a value according to the drive letter. For example value for “A” drive is 2^0 (Two to the power zero) i.e. 1, “B” Drive is 2^1 i.e. 2 and it goes on.  Now if you want to hide D drive and E drive we have to give the value as (8+16) i.e. 24 in the command i have given below. Windows recognizes the values and hides your D and E drive. If you want to show all the drives give the value 0. Its simple.</p> <p>Here I have given the simplest solution. Just follow the simple steps below:</p> <p>Step 1: Press Start + R and type cmd. Click OK. It opens a command prompt.</p> <p><a title="Opening Command Prompt" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguh3EoNUlkYR4GBMuB1N3I62yH3iKzSs5ix1TqQExqENT7CExqyqjohAyw730PGtNyd4MXXaeaRWNeBx1p6AZEFyJDnS906PBjNfAFeySRYvBh_qNBp4R-1tvOAk-dayNzH1-06Ov5X6_P/s1600/Windows7d.png" target="_blank"><img title="Opening Command Prompt" border="0" alt="Opening Command Prompt" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguh3EoNUlkYR4GBMuB1N3I62yH3iKzSs5ix1TqQExqENT7CExqyqjohAyw730PGtNyd4MXXaeaRWNeBx1p6AZEFyJDnS906PBjNfAFeySRYvBh_qNBp4R-1tvOAk-dayNzH1-06Ov5X6_P/s1600/Windows7d.png" /></a></p> <p>Step 2: Copy the COMMAND code given in the table below:</p> <p></p> <table border="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="452"><tbody> <tr> <td valign="top" width="448"> <p align="left">REG ADD HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer /v NoDrives /t REG_DWORD /d 24 /f</p> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> <p>  </p> <p>Step 3: Paste the code in the command prompt. In order to paste it, right click on the command prompt and select paste. Change the value according to the drives you want to hide and press enter. [Here the value i have given is “24” for hiding D and E drives(8+16), refer the table above for your values]</p> <p><a title="Paste in command Prompt" href="http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/738/1explorer.png" target="_blank"><img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="Paste in command Prompt" alt="Paste in command Prompt" src="http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/738/1explorer.png" width="480" height="279" /></a></p> <p></p> <p>Step 4: The code will be executed as shown.

The value 24 is highlighted because this is the value you need to change according to your drives you need to hide.</p> <p>Note: 2. If you get any error messages like “Registry editor has been disabled by your administrator” then you need to enable your registry editor. To enable your registry editor Visit the link given below:</p> <p><a title="Enabling Registry editor in Windows" href="http://techrena.blogspot.com/2008/11/how-to-enable-registry-editor-regedit.html" target="_blank">http://techrena.blogspot.com/2008/11/how-to-enable-registry-editor-regedit.html</a></p> <p>After restarting or logging on you will find that the selected drives are not present. In order to show all your hidden drives give the value as 0.

Originally, the payments were to be included in the payments at the end of February. However, because Google had to remove these holds manually, it seems as though this wasn’t done until after the February 15th cut off time. So what does this mean for affected publishers? You have to wait another month to receive your payment due to Google’s bug, according to AdSensePro Jen.”</td> </tr> </tbody></table> <p>So affected publishers can expect their earnings to be included in next payment cycle[If you get this message “<strong>Check stopped - earnings credited back”</strong> before March 15th in your account or if you get it after March 15, you can expect your earnings to be included in next month’s payment cycle].</p>Techie Bloggerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02597951773187594933noreply@blogger.com0
