Solution to this problem :

1.Go to Start Menu --> Run, then type Regedit
2. Navigate to the registry folder HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL
3. Find a key called CheckedValue.
4. Double Click CheckedValue key and modify it to 1. This is to show all the hidden files.

Exploring Google

As we all know,google is clearly the best general-purpose search engine on the Web.But most people don't use it to its best advantage.Do you just plug in a keyword or two and hope for the best? That may be the quickest way to search, but with more than 3 billion pages in Google's index, it's still a struggle to get results to a manageable number.

But google's search options go beyond simple keywords, the Web, and even its own programmers. Let's look at some of Google's lesser-known options.

1) www.google.com/help/operators.html

Google supports several advanced operators, which are query words that have special meaning to Google. Typically these operators modify the search in some way, or even tell Google to do a totally different type of search.

2) Suppose you want to contact someone and don't have his/her phone number.Google can help you with that, too.Just enter a name, city, and state(The city is optional, but you must enter a state.) If a phone number matches the listing, you'll see it at the top of the search results along with a map link to the address.
If you'd rather restrict your results, use rphonebook: for residential listings or bphonebook: for business listings.

Install LINUX keeping the windows bootloader...

Dual-Boot Linux and Windows 2000/Windows XP with GRUB HOWTO

Disclaimer: This document is provided "as is" without warranty. Use at your own risk. In no event shall I be liable for any damage resulting from the use of this work.

This HOWTO applies if:

• Your machine already has Windows installed, and you are installing Linux as a second operating system, and
• You want to leave the Windows boot loader (NTLDR) on the MBR (Master Boot Record). This allows you to continue to boot Windows with no issues. I've heard that Windows 2000/Windows XP or anti-virus software may complain if the MBR does not contain the Windows boot loader

You can use either GRUB or LILO to dual-boot Windows 2000/Windows XP and Linux. Both functionally work fine, but from what I've read, GRUB requires less maintenance, as LILO requires you to reinstall the boot loader (by running /sbin/lilo) every time you rebuild the kernel or make changes to /etc/lilo.conf.

Requirements for /boot Partition

The location of the /boot partition on the hard drive is critical so that you don't get screwed by the infamous BIOS 1024 cylinder limit. The BIOS of older systems can't access data beyond cylinder 1024, which is ~8.5 GB. A simple way to avoid the BIOS 1024 limit is to create /boot within the first 1024 cylinders (~8.5 GB) of the hard drive. If you have multiple hard drives (disks), /boot must be on the same hard drive (probably the first hard drive) that has the Windows boot loader (NTLDR) on the MBR.

Here are some options for where to create /boot partition.

1. (What I did) Shrink the Windows partition such that there is 50 MB of unused disk space at the beginning of the drive and lots of space after the Windows partition. You can install the /boot Linux partition in this first 50 MB and avoid any potential issues with the 1024-cylinder limit entirely.
2. Shrink the Windows partition such that it does not cross the 1024 cylinder (~8.5 GB), and install the /boot partition right after the Windows partition.
3. Use LBA (Logical Block Addressing). LBA allows you to boot beyond the 1024 cylinder. In order to use LBA, your BIOS must support it. In addition, for LILO, you must also add a flag to enable LBA support. GRUB supports LBA "out-of-the-box"

To non-destructively shrink the Windows partition, you can use the free software program fips (please note that fips does not currently support NTFS partitions). Another option is the excellent commercial product Partition Magic. It has an easy-to-use GUI. Unfortunately, the tool that comes with Red Hat 7.2, Disk Druid, does not have the ability to shrink existing partitions. Once you've shrunk the Windows partition, you can use Disk Druid during the Red Hat Installation to create all the partitions you need for Linux.

Dual-Boot Setup

Following are the steps to get dual-boot working with GRUB; I figured out how to do this by looking at a similar procedure for LILO. I've verified that this works for Windows 2000 and Windows XP, and this should work on Windows NT (all 3 OSs use the same booting architecture).

1. Install GRUB on the first sector of the /boot partition. DO NOT INSTALL IT ON THE MBR!.
   If you are performing the Red Hat installation, for the "Boot Loader Installation" screen:

   • Select "Use GRUB as the boot loader"
   • Select Install Boot Loader record on "...First sector of boot partition".
   • After finishing the Red Hat installation, reboot into Linux. If you don't have a boot disk, try booting in linux rescue mode
   If you already have Linux installed:

   • Run the following command (e.g. assuming /boot is /dev/hda2): grub-install /dev/hda2.
     If you don't know which partition contains /boot, run the df command and check the output.
   • Edit /etc/grub.conf and make sure there is an entry for your version of Windows. For reference, here is a copy of my /etc/grub.conf file.
2. Determine which partition contains the /boot partition by running the df command. You'll see output like this:

   Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
   /dev/hda3              8665372   1639580   6585612  20% /
   /dev/hda2                46636      5959     38269  14% /boot
   /dev/hda6               513776    189504    324272  37% /osshare
   none                    256624         0    256624   0% /dev/shm
   

   From this output, we see that /boot is on /dev/hda2.
3. Make a copy of the Linux boot sector onto a floppy or onto a FAT32 partition. We'll name this copy linux.bin.
   To make a copy onto a floppy:

   • Mount the floppy drive if it's not mounted (assumes /mnt/floppy exists): mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
   • Run the following command: dd if=/dev/hda2 of=/mnt/floppy/linux.bin bs=512 count=1
     Substitute the path for the if= parameter (the input file) with the appropriate partition from the previous step. E.g., set if= to /dev/hda2.
   To make a copy onto a FAT32 (vfat) partition:

   • Mount the FAT32 partition if it's not mounted yet. If it isn't listed in the df output, it hasn't been mounted yet. Check out steps 3a-3c for mounting a FAT32 partition on the "Share Partitions HOWTO".
   • Run the following command: dd if=/dev/hda2 of=/osshare/linux.bin bs=512 count=1
     Substitute the path for the if= parameter (the input file) with the appropriate partition from the previous step. E.g., set if= to /dev/hda2. Substitute the path for the of= parameter (the output file) with whatever is appropriate for your system. The example here (of=/osshare/linux.bin) is for copying onto a FAT32 partition called osshare.
4. Reboot into Windows
5. Copy the linux.bin file to C:\
6. Run notepad and edit C:\boot.ini. Note that C:\boot.ini is a hidden system file, so it probably won't show up in Windows Explorer. To edit the file, try: Start->Run and enter: notepad C:\boot.ini. Add the following line at the end: c:\linux.bin="Linux"
   If your C: filesystem is NTFS (not FAT32), you must edit C:\boot.ini as a user with administrator-level privileges.
   To make C:\boot.ini writable, you can either :

   • Use Explorer:
     • Go to Tools->Folder Options->View and select Show hidden files and folders and deselect Hide protected operating system files (Recommended).
     • Right-click on the file, view the Properties and uncheck Read-only. You can now edit the file.
     • After editing the file, restore the settings to their original state.
   • Use the command-line:
     • Make the file writable: attrib -R -S -H C:\boot.ini.
     • After you've finished editing the file, put the settings back: attrib +R +S +H C:\boot.ini
   For reference, here is a copy of my boot.ini file.
7. Reboot again. You should be able to pick either Windows or Linux. Selecting Linux will start GRUB

Troubleshooting

• When I select Linux from the boot menu, I get a frozen "GRUB" (or an "L" in the case of LILO)
• Make sure you created the linux.bin file correctly with the dd command. If you think you ran the command correctly, the problem may be that your /boot partition is beyond cylinder 1024 and your BIOS can't reach it. At system startup, the Windows boot loader lists the choices from boot.ini. When you select Linux, the boot loader then loads the 512-byte linux.bin file, and then BIOS tries to access the /boot partition to run GRUB. Some BIOS implementations can only address the first 1024 cylinders of a hard drive, which corresponds to ~8.5 GB. How do you fix this? Create your /boot partition before cylinder 1024; i.e. before ~8.5 GB.
• If I select Linux from the boot menu, I get an error message that says "Windows XP could not load: The file hal.dll (windows/system32/) is missing or corrupt. Please reinstall.
• This is usually caused by an error in the boot.ini file. If you are unable to find and fix the error, check out Kelly Theriot's page that provides various methods for addressing the problem.

Windows 7 Blog

A lot of people believe that Vista flopped because of the high amount of publicity that it garnered which resulted in unrealistic expectations. And people gave it the thumbs-down when it became clear that it didn't actually have as many features as the rather ill-informed web community consisting mainly of speculative bloggers had been promising.

So after the disappointment of the over-hyped Vista, Microsoft has decided to be a little more cautious in terms of the "information" it gives out about its next major launch  -- Windows 7. It has taken its pre-launch product communication in its own hands. And as part of this new policy, they have launched a blog dedicated to Windows 7 -- the Engineering Windows 7 blog, or E7 for short yesterday.

E7 is hosted by the two senior engineering managers for the Windows 7 product, Jon DeVaan and Steven Sinofsky. They want the blog to be "a two-way discussion about how we are making Windows 7". Their main aim is to provide an official platform where they can give out all the information they want to and only the information they want to give out. You can find the blog right here.

Search and Earn !!!

Hey Guys... found this great way to search and earn... Its called SCOUR. Its a search engine whose results combine all results from Google, Yahoo and MSN. It also allows users to vote and comment on search results which contribute to the ranking of those results on the search engine. 

Now the earning part... well, most of us do web searches everyday about one thing or another... this creates huge amount of ad revenues for the different search engines like Google, Yahoo etc. But this revenue is never shared by the search giants with their customers. Now comes scour, ready to give its customers their due. Yes, scour uses a points system which accrue with every search, vote or comment that you contribute. Moreover, you can invite your friends to join scour under your referral as a reward for which you would also get 25% of the points earned by your friend.

All in all its a great concept which pays you for what you have been doing and would probably continue to do all your life anyways. I believe this will take off in a big way sooner rather than later. You can check it out here.

LOVE THY GEEKS...

Geeks are not always ideating(it's not a word)---creating ideas.They have hearts and their hearts have emotions too. They redefine and rejuvenate ...

Bravo!!! Oxford or other such institutions for that matter for enlightening us humans with all their acumen of words and their meanings. What treasure they have embarked upon us is tremendous and invaluable. But am I a bit exaggerating? Oh yeah I am….

I am afraid to say that poor these have failed miserably to define the two most indispensable, clichéd and underestimated words of human race i.e. LOVE and FRIENDSHIP. Few lines for the two most extravagant words seem a bit harsh on them. Ain’t it?? So Friends, Romans and Countrymen pilot me through these series of articles and help me define love and friendship. Dealing LOVE first, what comes to my mind is the image of that someone whom I loved the most in my life and your mind might have worked the same way I can hope. Ahh!! What days were those Hands in Hands, Hands in *****. Didn’t work out that well; let’s leave it for now because it’s a deep, dark and dingy place there. 5 lines with several definitions of love half of which comprise of SEX is a bit unmerited as far as LOVE is concerned, the most sensed emotion all over the globe. There are several anomalies to the definition and several disputable issues too. Let’s take a couple in consideration deeply sodden in love. It was the purest and innocent love I had ever seen. Both were my dearest of friends. One was Akila whom her girlfriends envied for her picturesque body, her outrageously outgoing nature and her face of an angel. Plak was as normal as his friends were. They loved each other very much. Both used to hang out in my terrace, on my closet, made love on my couch, hid behind my T.V. for those moments of seclusion. They regarded me as their “FRIEND” [reference of the definition of friend to be made from this article itself]. I used to carry them in my bag pack all the time with me. I loved my two little beautiful tortoise….

Poor Windows Users!!!

              Microsoft to sell Ad space in error messages

Microsoft announced that it is selling advertising space in the error messages that appear in Windows. Acknowledging for the first time that the average user of their operating system encounters error messages at least several times a day, Microsoft is trying to take financial advantage of the unavoidable opportunity to make an ad impression.

"We estimate that throughout the world at any given moment several million people are getting a "general protection fault" or "Illegal operation" warning. We will be able to generate significant revenue by including a short advertising message along with it," said Microsoft marketing director.

The Justice Department immediately indicated that they intend to investigate whether Microsoft is gaining an unfair advantage in reaching the public with this advertising by virtue of its semi-monopolistic control over error messages.

How to speed up your PC?

How many of us have ever encountered the problem of Windows slowing down in due course of time?

If your answer is yes then here is a solution which will make your computer work comparatively faster .This slowdown of Windows happens due to many reasons like –

1. Windows has a new feature called Prefetch. This keeps a shortcut to recently used programs this in return slows the startup.

Solution:

To get rid of this, we should periodically clean this shortcuts thus created.

To clean this : :

Go to Start / Run / Prefetch

Press Ctrl-A to highlight all the shortcuts

Delete them

2. Windows have larger amount of page file memory occupied.

Solution:

We can clear the page file memory on shutdown each time we switch off out pc.

For this:

Click on the Start button

Go to the Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Local Security Policy/Local Policies

Click on Security Options

Right hand menu - right click on "Shutdown: Clear Virtual Memory Pagefile"

Select "Enable"

Reboot

Infact if we want to clear the page file memory on each shutdown. We can do some edits in the registry ..

Go to Start / Run / regedit

Start Regedit

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEM/CurrentControl/SetControlSession /ManagerMemory Management/ClearPageFileAtShutdown

Set the value to 1

3. The booting time has increased.

Solution:

We can decrease the boot time by::

Microsoft has made available a program to analyze and decrease the time it takes to boot to WindowsXP

The program is called BootVis

Uncompress the file.

Run BOOTVIS.EXE

For a starting point, run Trace / Next Boot + Driver Delays

This will reboot your computer and provide a benchmark

After the reboot, BootVis will take a minute or two to show graphs of your system startup.

Note how much time it takes for your system to load (click on the red vertical line)

Then run Trace / Optimize System

Re-Run the Next Boot + Drive Delays

Note how much the time has decreased

Mine went from approximately 35 to 25 seconds.

The First Web Browser - Nexus

The very first web browser was invented by Tim Berners Lee in 1989. It was simply called World Wide Web since it was the only way to see the web then.
He later renamed it to Nexus to distinguish between the program & the abstract information space "www" which was typed in the Uniform Resource Locator (URL).
Nexus was written in Objective C and it would let users browse "http:", "news:", "ftp:" and local "file:" spaces

Playing with AutoRun Files

Apart from causing trouble in opening drives on your PC, the Autorun files can be used to make your windows experience more personal and enjoyable. How about having your picture displayed on your screen on top of a drive everytime you open My Computer ?

To do this, you would first need to use a software to create an icon file... ie files having an extension ".ico". You may use Microangelo Toolset. A free trial version is available at http://www.download.com/Microangelo-Toolset/3000-2195_4-10001673.html


Now, having created the icon file, follow the following steps:

1. Create a folder named "autorun" in the drive where you want the pic to be shown and put the ico file (say "pic1.ico") in the folder.
2. Go to Start --> Run
3. Type "cmd"
4. Now go to the drive of which you want the icon to be changed. For example, for putting your pic on F drive, type "F:" and press enter.
5. Now open the AutoRun file of the drive by typing "autorun.inf".




6. This should open the file in notepad. Now add a statement to the file:  "icon=autorun\pic1.ico"



7. Save and exit.
8. Restart your computer.

Autorun Problems

Have you ever plugged in a removable harddisk or a pen drive expecting Autoplay to give you options to copy music, open folder etc... and kept waiting till you realised that it wasn't going to come and you would have to go to my computer and open it from there? And/Or then found an error on double clicking on the drive saying "Cannot open the drive" before giving you the impossible task of choosing a program which can OPEN A DRIVE!!!

Don't worry... you are not alone.. this problem with removable drives is as common as Windows on PC's!
This and similar problems have a simple solution. All these have a basic cause --- absent or corrupt Autorun file.

The solution :

1) Open notepad.
2) Write: [autorun]
3) Save the file with name : "autorun.inf"



4) Open the infected drive by putting the drive letter followed by a ":" in the address bar or in the run command from the start menu.
5) Copy the file "autorun.inf" in the root folder of the infected drive (internal or removable)
6) Replace if any other file with the same name exists.
7) Restart your computer (for internal drives) or remove and replug your removable drive (in case of external devices)

and everything should be fine again!!!

If you are still unable to solve your problem, feel free to contact me.

Engineer's Lyf ... as a student

On a beautiful bright Morning u wake up,look out of ur hostel window every thing seems to be blooming and happening outside. Cool breeze let the tree dance on her tune,pigeons and sparrows are rhyming with that breeze.
Suddenly you thought of watching clock which set your nerve start pulsating as pulsar rotating around a black hole, because you were late for ur 9'oclock scheduled lecture. You left ur bed, quickly grasp ur toothbrush and toothpaste, rush to washroom where you found some sort quarrel already going on for bathroom.Most of the time we make our mind that we had a nice bath and went to attend lectures after rinsing ourself in deodrants .
In the lecture hall, sometime you found scenario compeletely in your favour or sometime you had to made your mind that it would be destiny for today as professor reached before you and never let you to be in afterwards.
Irony occurs here only, if prof. allowed us to came late then we got a drastic urge to kill the professor as he allows to attend his lecture.
Best thing arrives in mid of lecture when somebody from our batch ask us for our tutorial copy
and we came to know that last night counter-strike bombs soons fires the holes in our marksheet.After all this who gone listen all that crap which our deemed prof. is muttering on the podium, we only had one aim to complete our tute as soon as poosible.
Second lecture of the day :
By this time we were finished with our all pending works,so when lecturer starts his daily craps first 20 min. out of 50 min. lecture we keep our patience and listen what he was saying.
Think of it how torturous was the lecture that we started having nap in lecture theatre as our mind went into a standby mode.In last 10 min. we broke our nap and start shouting "sir bas please baki kal".By following this whole round of events for a day, we came to our day end.
In evening :
Few of us went to sleep, a few of us went to gymnasium finally at 6 or 6:30 we got time to look into something, most of us had to call our homes, a few of us had someone important then our homes [:P] so they call them. finally we as clocks bangs at 7:30 pm our biological alarm rings for dinner.In anticipation of having a nice food at mess we quickly rush toward it,but soon realized we were students and had no rights to be so enthusiastic towards our dreams regarding mess food.To off our hunger streak, we rush to a snack joint near by our college (Luck Snack point) to had aloo parantha, bread omellete and maggi etc.
In the night after 10 pm we gaze into tommorow's time table and check whether we had something to do or not,mostly we donn't had anything to complete so we went for some chat or "faltu bakwaas" useless talks or some unwanted comments on someone's galfriends [ ; )].
By doin all these crap we waste on one more day of our life but million of memories which we live by doing all this keep our spirit high for whole of our life.

GEEKS... introducing ourselves...

The word "Geeks" is still among many social circles a rather uncool comment for someone or a group. But we here hold high and mighty. We are truely proud to be called Geeks.

The definition of Geeks on wikipedia :

The definition of geek has changed considerably over time, and there is no longer a definitive meaning. The terms nerd,dweeb and dork have similar meanings as geek, but many choose to identify different connotations amongst these terms, although the differences are disputed.

Although being described as a geek tends to be an insult, the term has recently become more complimentary, or even a badge of honor, within particular fields. This is particularly evident in the technical disciplines, where the term is now often a compliment, denoting extraordinary skill. Nerd Pride Day has been observed on May 25 in Spain since 2006. The holiday promotes the right to be nerdy or geeky, and to express it in public without shame. A new convention, Geek.Kon, has sprung up in Madison, Wisconsin with a purpose to celebrate all things geek. The website BoardGameGeek is an online community of boardgamers who identify themselves as geeks at game conventions; they call their website "The Geek", for short. Technical support services such as Geek Squad, Geeks on Call and Dial-a-Geek use the term geek to signify helpful technical abilities. In recent history, some geeks have cultivated a geek culture, such as geek humor and obscure references on T-shirts. The so-called geek chic trend is a deliberate affectation of geek or nerd traits as a fashion statement. Nonetheless, the derogatory definition of geeks remains that of a person engrossed in his area of interest at the cost of social skills, personal hygiene and status.

We here are the new generation Geeks. We are the techy and cool guys who are very familiar and competent in the social world as well as in the Tech world. It is never that you cannot balance both the aspects. Try it people you'll be respected more. Hiding your true colour is a whole lot of unnecessary tension that no one wants.

The point of my writing this is basically to clear the myth that Geeks are uncool wierd Guys who can be taken for granted and exploited and made fun of. And also to spread the message of self confidence that it is good and cool whoever you are. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise....

5 Advantages of linux over Windows

This post is exclusively for my ECE friends

1. COST

2.SECURITY

3.CHOICE [Freedom] - With Linux, you have the power to control just about every aspect of the operating system.

4.HARDWARE - Linux is perfect for those old computers with barely any processing power or memory you have sitting in your garage or basement collecting dust.

5.SOFTWARE - the vast majority of Linux software is free and open source. Not only are you getting the software for no charge, but you have the option to modify the source code and add more features if you understand the programming language.

Linux -- Ubuntu

What is LINUX ?

It is an Operating System just like Microsoft Windows and many others which are promoted on various Media.
This OS fulfils all your needs - Personal, Business and Professional. Best part is it is fully customizable with stunning graphic effects which don't require any special hardware integration.

What is Ubuntu ?

Ubuntu basically is an ancient African word which means "Humanity to Others".
Unlike other companies which provide us various softwares to meet our needs, Ubuntu is a group of developers who are working for humanity by sharing their excellent skills by providing the OS for free. They firmly believe that technology is not only for making profits but also for those who are keen to use and appreciate it.

These people dedicate a lot of time to "Ubuntu", their basic aim being to

"Bring the spirit of ubuntu to the software world"

We the Geeks of JIITU salute these heroes of our field and appreciate their efforts.

Today in our group we have almost 5 people who are using Linux and feel very proud when people contact us for their Linux related queries in Hostel.
