Folder lock, folder hide in less than a minute

Folder hide software is not important for your needs, because there is a technique to hide your folders in Windows XP. Let us see how we can use the folder lock for secret folders.

Let’s you want to hide a folder named ‘sex and porn’ which is in the drive D of your computer

Do this..Click on Start->Run-Type in ‘cmd’(without the quotes) and then d:
start--->run--->cmd-->d:

Once this is done

type D:/>attrib +h +s porn

the above command is to hide or conceal the folder
When you hide your folder in this manner with this folder hide command, it will not be visible even after doing advance search or showing ‘show hidden files’ action.

The only way you can bring your folder back to visibility is by typing the command:
D:/>attrib -h -s porn

Computer running slow?

What to do if you computer becomes slow all of a sudden? You have not installed any suspicious software, yet the system is taking almost an hour to transfer files which it used to do in just about 5 minutes. What do you do? Here’s how you take care of this problem:

1. Delete the useless files from your system with ccleaner.

2. Find out the volume for errors. For this, right click on drive >>tools>>checknow

3. Do a system defragmentation once a week. Right click on drive >>tools>>defragmentation.

4. Your startup menu can make your computer slow. Remove items that you do not require, from startup. For this go to start>>run>>msconfig>>selective startup>uncheck load startup items.

5. Make use of an antivirus software that can scan, remove suspicious and damaging software and also alert you of any possible attack on your system from virus, Trojan or email spam. Kapersky, Norton or McAfee are recommended anti-virus software.

6. If all the above fail, you should reinstall your OS or windows. This will take care of the problem.

Windows XP-Hidden Applications

There are a lot of hidden applications in Windows XP which can be quite helpful. These applications can be quite fruitful. Try them out. Here’s how you go about doing it.

In order to run any of these apps go to Start > Run and type the executable name (for example drwsten32.exe).

WINDOWS XP HIDDEN APPS:

1) Character Map = charmap.exe (very useful for finding unusual characters)

2) Clipboard Viewer = clipbrd.exe (views contents of Windows clipboard)

3) Dr Watson = drwtsn32.exe (Troubleshooting tool)

4) DirectX diagnosis = dxdiag.exe (Diagnose & test DirectX, video & sound cards)

5) Private character editor = eudcedit.exe (allows creation or modification of characters)

6) IExpress Wizard = iexpress.exe (Create self-extracting / self-installing package)

7) Disk Cleanup = cleanmgr.exe

8) Microsoft Synchronization Manager = mobsync.exe (allows organization of files on the network when working offline. Apparently undocumented).

9) System Configuration Editor = sysedit.exe (modify System.ini & Win.ini just like in Win98! ).

10) Program Manager = progman.exe (Legacy Windows 3.x desktop shell).

11) Remote Access phone book = rasphone.exe (documentation is totally non-existant).

12) Registry Editor = regedt32.exe [also regedit.exe] (for hacking the Windows Registry).

13) Network shared folder wizard = shrpubw.exe (creates shared folders on network).

14) File siganture verification tool = sigverif.exe

15) Volume Contro = sndvol32.exe (I've included this for those people that lose it from the System Notification area).

16) Syskey = syskey.exe (Secures XP Account database - use with care, it's virtually undocumented but it appears to encrypt all passwords, I'm not sure of the full implications).

17) Microsoft Telnet Client = telnet.exe

18) Driver Verifier Manager = verifier.exe (seems to be a utility for monitoring the actions of drivers, might be useful for people having driver problems. Undocumented).

19) Windows for Workgroups Chat = winchat.exe (appears to be an old NT utility to allow chat sessions over a LAN, help files available).

20) System configuration = msconfig.exe (can use to control starup programs)

21) gpedit.msc used to manage group policies, and permissions


22) Windows Media Player 5.1 = mplay32.exe (Retro version of Media Player, very basic).

23) ODBC Data Source Administrator = odbcad32.exe (something to do with databases)

24) Object Packager = packager.exe (deals with packaging objects for insertion in files, appears to have comprehensive help files).

25) System Monitor = perfmon.exe (highly recommended, highly configurable tool, tells you all you wanted to know about any aspect of PC performance, for uber-geeks only )
