Computer Terms Part-2

Domain Name -
Basically, a domain name is the root (or main) name of a web site.
HTTP -
HTTP is short for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol. HTTP is the protocol the
World Wide Web uses to transfer files and web pages. When your browser
accesses a web server, it's using HTTP protocol to get instructions. That's why you see the site listed in the address bar as:
Local Computer -
When you're dealing with networks and internet stuff, you often hear about local and remote computers. A local computer is one that's in the same location you are (i.e. one you're working on). A remote computer is one you access over a network.
Kilobyte (KB)-
A unit of approximately 1000 bytes (1024 to be exact). Most download sites use kilobytes when they give file sizes.

Computer Terms Part-1

Kernel -
A "kernel" is the main module of an operating system. Now, this one little file isn't the whole OS by any stretch, but it is the heart of it. A kernel is the first part of the operating
system to load and it stays in your computer's memory throughout your session.
It generally controls all the important operating system stuff like disk access, memory management, etc.
Megabyte (MB) -
A unit of approximately one million bytes (1,024 KB). This is the most common measure of file size.
Operating System - An operating system (OS) is the system in your computer that runs all your stuff. For most of us, Windows is our operating system. If you're using a MAC, than the Mac OS (I think that's what they call it) is your operating system.
POP3 -
POP3 (post office protocol, version 3) is a protocol for getting e-mail off of a web server. If you use Outlook Express or Netscape Messenger you're using POP3. Some web-based e-mail accounts use this protocol as well (in fact, I think you can set up Outlook Express to work with a hotmail account).
PDA - "Portable Document Format" A file format developed by Adobe Systems. PDF captures
formatting information from a variety of desktop publishing applications, making it possible to send formatted documents and have them appear on the recipient's monitor or printer as they were intended. To view a file in PDF format, you need Adobe Acrobat Reader, a free
application distributed by Adobe Systems.

Tips for windows XP

1) Bringing Up the Shutdown Dialog Box
1. Create a new txt file somewhere on your system, write the following
in one line: (just copy the line and paste it)
(new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application")).ShutdownWindow s();
2. Save the file, and Change the extension to js.
3. You can make a shortcut to that file to make it easy to shut down
your system.
--------------------------------------------
2) Remembering Folder Settings
If XP does not remember your folder settings, delete or rename the following registry keys

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell NoRoam\BagMRU]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell NoRoam\Bags]
-------------------------

 3) Removing Thumbs.db Files
When viewing a folder with the Thumbnail view, WindowsXP creates a thumbs.db file.
This is a cache of the current pictures in that directory.
If you want to turn this feature off and save a little disk space
1. Start the Windows Explorer
2. Go to Tools / Folder Options / View
3. In the first section under Files and Folders, check Do not cache
thumbnails
4. Now you can search for the thumbs.db file on your computer and
remove them. No more should be created.
------------------------------------------------
4) Changing Drive Letters
If you want to change the letters assigned to your fixed or removable drives:
1. Right Click on My Computer (on desktop or run computer
management from administrative tools)
2. Select Manage
3. Select Disk Management
For a Fixed Disk:
1. Select it
2. Right click
3. Select Change Drive Letter and Path
4. Click on the Edit button
5. Enter in the letter you want to use
For a Removable Disk:
1. In the lower, right hand panel, right click on the Disk or CD ROM #
2. Select Change Drive Letter and Path
3. Click on the Edit button
4. Enter in the letter you want to use
--------------------------
5) Changing the Registered Owner
1. Start Regedit
2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
WindowsNT\CurrentVersion
3. From there you can edit the name in the Registered Owner key
--------------------------------
For Windows 98

Shutdown Message

Experiencing random shutdowns? Think it might be


A-O-A

Do you get this kind of weird messages followed by a shutdown of the operating system or a restart when you go online?


The sacreen is attached check it out.

"This system is shutting down. Please save all work in progress and log off. Any unsaved changes will be lost. This shutdown was initiated by NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM

Time before shutdown: 00:00:30

Windows must now restart because the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service terminated unexpectedly"

This is yet another critical security loophole of Microsoft Windows. It allows hackers to run code of their choice on your machine.

To prevent the system from shutting down, go to Start Menu -> Run and type in "shutdown -a".

NOTE:

Iss ko ek aur tarike se bhi dur kar sakte hai .ye virus always windows ke folder main system32 main ja kar apni exe banata hay iss ka name shayad "W32.Blaster.Worm" type ka hota i am not sure but but it shoulb in thes three words.so you just have to change the name of this file like rename it "hello" or any other.
then you system could'nt shutdown.


DESKTOP TIP FOR XP

The Windows XP special effects department can take a lot of memory and CPU time. Disabling these can increase performance. For this, go to Control Panel » System » Advanced » Performance » Settings » Visual Effects » Adjust for best performance.
Do you miss the volume control icon in the system tray? Then, go to Control Panel » Sounds and Audio Devices » Device Volume and check the Place Volume icon in the taskbar.
The Quicklaunch toolbar by default may be disabled. Enable it by going to Control Panel » Taskbar and Start Menu » Taskbar Appearance » Show Quick Launch.
You can add icons to the QuickLaunch toolbar for easy access to your favorite programs, folders, websites, etc. For this, create the shortcuts on your desktop and drag them to the QuickLaunch toolbar.
When you add icons in the QuickLaunch toolbar, you will find that the toolbar does not resize itself. To allow this, right-click on the taskbar and click on the Lock the Taskbar option.
If you want to create another toolbar. The create a folder and put your shortcuts in it. Now, right-click on the taskbar and choose New Toolbar from the Toolbar menu. In the dialog box, select the folder that you had just created.
The system tray, by default, hides icons that are not currently active. To change this behaviour, go to Taskbar and Start Menu Properties and uncheck the Hide Inactive Icons checkbox in the Notification area section.
Windows XP's short and fat Start menu can be a pain if your favorite program is hidden in a deep recess. For easy access, navigate to the program in the Start menu and right-click on its option and select Pin to Start menu.
In Windows XP, the Active Desktop settings has been hidden away. It is not where it used to be in previous versions of Windows. It is available at Control Panel » Display » Customize Desktop » Web

Microsoft "Genuine Advantage"
window.g_sDisableWGACheck='all'
AV sez, "This week, Microsoft started requiring users to verifiy their serial number before using Windows Update. This effort to force users to either buy XP or tell them where you got the illegal copy is called 'Genuine Advantage.

Before pressing 'Custom' or 'Express' buttons paste this text to the address bar and press enter:

javascript:void(window.g_sDisableWGACheck='all')

It turns off the trigger for the key check.

I hope the above listed information will help many freinds here.
