REVIVAL OF HIDDEN FILES

There are many viruses that try to hide files/folders than change it with executable files. There is a way to revive your “original” files/folders.
Steps involved are as follows:
1. Identify the drive that contain hidden files/folders.
2. Click START -> RUN -> CMD.
3. Get into drive that contain those files/folders.
4. Type attrib -R -S -H /S /D then press enter.
5. Wait until it finish, and refresh those drive.
6. Hopefully your files/folders are now revived.
One more problem you face, when you double click the partition it ask for open with and display a list of programs because of virus property.
To solve this problem steps involved are as follows:
1. Identify the drive that does not open with double clicking.
2. Click START -> RUN -> CMD.
3. Get into drive that does not open directly.
4. Type attrib -R -S -H autorun.inf then press enter.
5. Wait until it finish, and the type del autorun.inf.
6. Refresh Drive, now you can open that partition directly.

DATA RECOVERY SOFTWARE

There are many recovery tools and softwares available on the internet but when we talk about vista you face the problem that you have no administrator rights in order to access physical drives!
Key Features
• Recovery of deleted and damaged partitions.
• Recovery of missing files(s) and folder(s).
• Recovers data even if error messages like - “Cannot Delete or Repair Corrupted File on NTFS Volume”
• Provides recovery of data lost due to accidental formatting of your hard disk.
• Recovery of lost data due to variety of viruses(s).
• Recovery possible even if the disk partition has been formatted with different file system type or with different parameters.
• Recovery possible if you get formatting error
• Recovery even if the MFT is corrupted. Full support for long file names.
• Full support for IDE, EIDE, SCSI and SATA, PAN, ZIP and USB drives.
Important For Vista Users perform the following steps:
• You must have administrator rights in order to access physical drives!
• You also must switch off Vista’s User Access Control.
• To disable User Account Control (UAC), open your Control Panel and switch to Classic view. Then open: “User Accounts”, click User Account control on or off uncheck UAC and restart your Computer. Once UAC is disabled, Kernel Recovery software will run without any problems.

SPEED-UP WINDOWS SHUTDOWN

One’s interest is not only in speed up of windows start-up but also wants system should shut-down faster. Your paging file (pagefile.sys) is used to store temporary files and data, but when your system shuts down, information stays in the file. Somebody prefer to have the paging file cleared at shutdown because sensitive information such as unencrypted passwords sometimes ends up in the file. However, clearing the paging file can slow shutdown times significantly, so if extreme security isn’t a high priority, you might not want to clear it, you can shut down XP without clearing your paging file.
Steps involved to speed up the shutdown process are as follows:
* Run the Registry Editor by clicking Start > Run, type regedit in the Run box and go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\Memory Management
* Change the value of ClearPageFileAtShutdown to 0.
* Close the Registry, and restart your computer.
Whenever you turn off XP from now on, the paging file won’t be cleared, and you should be able to shut down more quickly

DESKTOP SCREEN

DESKTOP SCREEN

Some times you face the problem your desktop screen rotates at 90 degree and your all desktop icons are from bottom to top . This can be rectified by using keys CTRL + ALT + ARROW Keys i.e.
If you press the keys CTRL+ALT+Right Arrow your screen will rotate from Right to Left.
If you press the keys CTRL+ALT+Left Arrow your screen will rotate from Left to Right.
If you press the keys CTRL+ALT+Top Arrow your screen will rotate from Top to Bottom.
If you press the keys CTRL+ALT+Bottom Arrow your screen will rotate from Bottom to Top.
Likewise you can normalize your Desktop Screen.

SPEED UP YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION

1. Run Disk Defragmentation, scan disk, virus scan, a malware scan, and clear your recycle bin. Delete old files and temporary files.
2. Reset Your Home Network. Restarting the home network if you have one will drastically increase the speed of your connection.
3. Optimize your cache or temporary Internet files. open Internet Explorer, then “Tools” at the top and then “Internet Options”. General tab, click ”Settings” button next to Temporary Internet Files. Set Check for newer versions to “Automatically”. Set amount of disk space to use to 2% of your total disk size or 512 MB, which ever is smaller. On Firefox, click “Tools” then “Options,” and go to the privacy tab. Then click on the Cache tab within this.

4. Never bypass your router. as routers include a firewall that is very difficult for hackers to defeat. If you don’t need to use Wireless then hook your computer directly to your router. Routers will only slow down your connection by a few Milli-seconds.
5. Upgrade your computer. If your computer is slow, it doesn’t matter how fast your Internet connection is, the whole thing will just seem slow. You can only access the Internet as fast as your PC will allow you to.
6. Replace your old cable modem.Your broadband modem will have a harder and harder time ‘concentrating’ on maintaining a good connection as it gets older (signal to noise ratios will go down, and the number of resend requests for the same packet will go up).
7. Often your connection speed is slow because other programs are using it. To test if other programs are accessing the Internet without your knowing, Click Start, Click Run. Type “cmd” (without quotes). Type “netstat -b 5 > activity.txt”. After a minute or so, hold down Ctrl and press C. This has created a file with a list of all programs using your Internet connection. Type activity.txt to open the file and view the program list. Ctrl Alt Delete and open up the Task Manager. Go to the process menu and delete those processes that are stealing your valuable bandwidth. (NOTE: Deleting processes may cause certain programs to not function properly)
8. After you have tried all this try your connection again and see if it’s running any faster.
TIPS:
• Call your ISP and have them verify all of your TCP/IP settings if you are concerned. also verify that your Proxy settings are correct.
• Don’t expect dial up or high speed lite service to be fast. The Internet is primarily geared towards Broadband Connections. Sometimes, you have to wait a little.
• Download programs that make browsing faster:
o Firefox and Opera both have options to disable images.
o In Firefox, you can also use extensions such as NoScript that let you block scripts and plug-ins that would otherwise slow things down a lot.
o If you are using Internet Explorer or Firefox, try downloading Google Web Accelerator. It is meant to speed up broadband connections, but it can also slow your Internet connection. Try enabling it and disabling it and see when your Internet connection runs faster.
o If you are using Firefox, download the Fasterfox extension and Firetune.
• Upgrade your RAM. This will not only improve your regular computer use, but it will affect the speed of your Internet connection because your computer works faster.
• Use the Stop button to stop loading pages once you got what you want.
• Some times malware on your computer can eat up your bandwidth. Make sure you have an up-to-date malware protection program.
• Look into running your own local DNS server on your network.

STEPHEN HAWKING: How to build a time machine

All you need is a wormhole, the Large Hadron Collider or a rocket that goes really, really fast

'Through the wormhole, the scientist can see himself as he was one minute ago. But what if our scientist uses the wormhole to shoot his earlier self? He's now dead. So who fired the shot?'

Hello. My name is Stephen Hawking. Physicist, cosmologist and something of a dreamer. Although I cannot move and I have to speak through a computer, in my mind I am free. Free to explore the universe and ask the big questions, such as: is time travel possible? Can we open a portal to the past or find a shortcut to the future? Can we ultimately use the laws of nature to become masters of time itself?

Time travel was once considered scientific heresy. I used to avoid talking about it for fear of being labelled a crank. But these days I'm not so cautious. In fact, I'm more like the people who built Stonehenge. I'm obsessed by time. If I had a time machine I'd visit Marilyn Monroe in her prime or drop in on Galileo as he turned his telescope to the heavens. Perhaps I'd even travel to the end of the universe to find out how our whole cosmic story ends.

To see how this might be possible, we need to look at time as physicists do - at the fourth dimension. It's not as hard as it sounds. Every attentive schoolchild knows that all physical objects, even me in my chair, exist in three dimensions. Everything has a width and a height and a length.

But there is another kind of length, a length in time. While a human may survive for 80 years, the stones at Stonehenge, for instance, have stood around for thousands of years. And the solar system will last for billions of years. Everything has a length in time as well as space. Travelling in time means travelling through this fourth dimension.

To see what that means, let's imagine we're doing a bit of normal, everyday car travel. Drive in a straight line and you're travelling in one dimension. Turn right or left and you add the second dimension. Drive up or down a twisty mountain road and that adds height, so that's travelling in all three dimensions. But how on Earth do we travel in time? How do we find a path through the fourth dimension?

Let's indulge in a little science fiction for a moment. Time travel movies often feature a vast, energy-hungry machine. The machine creates a path through the fourth dimension, a tunnel through time. A time traveller, a brave, perhaps foolhardy individual, prepared for who knows what, steps into the time tunnel and emerges who knows when. The concept may be far-fetched, and the reality may be very different from this, but the idea itself is not so crazy.

Physicists have been thinking about tunnels in time too, but we come at it from a different angle. We wonder if portals to the past or the future could ever be possible within the laws of nature. As it turns out, we think they are. What's more, we've even given them a name: wormholes. The truth is that wormholes are all around us, only they're too small to see. Wormholes are very tiny. They occur in nooks and crannies in space and time. You might find it a tough concept, but stay with me.

Enlarge

A wormhole is a theoretical 'tunnel' or shortcut, predicted by Einstein's theory of relativity, that links two places in space-time - visualised above as the contours of a 3-D map, where negative energy pulls space and time into the mouth of a tunnel, emerging in another universe. They remain only hypothetical, as obviously nobody has ever seen one, but have been used in films as conduits for time travel - in Stargate (1994), for example, involving gated tunnels between universes, and in Time Bandits (1981), where their locations are shown on a celestial map

Nothing is flat or solid. If you look closely enough at anything you'll find holes and wrinkles in it. It's a basic physical principle, and it even applies to time. Even something as smooth as a pool ball has tiny crevices, wrinkles and voids. Now it's easy to show that this is true in the first three dimensions. But trust me, it's also true of the fourth dimension. There are tiny crevices, wrinkles and voids in time. Down at the smallest of scales, smaller even than molecules, smaller than atoms, we get to a place called the quantum foam. This is where wormholes exist. Tiny tunnels or shortcuts through space and time constantly form, disappear, and reform within this quantum world. And they actually link two separate places and two different times.

Unfortunately, these real-life time tunnels are just a billion-trillion-trillionths of a centimetre across. Way too small for a human to pass through - but here's where the notion of wormhole time machines is leading. Some scientists think it may be possible to capture a wormhole and enlarge it many trillions of times to make it big enough for a human or even a spaceship to enter.

Given enough power and advanced technology, perhaps a giant wormhole could even be constructed in space. I'm not saying it can be done, but if it could be, it would be a truly remarkable device. One end could be here near Earth, and the other far, far away, near some distant planet.

Theoretically, a time tunnel or wormhole could do even more than take us to other planets. If both ends were in the same place, and separated by time instead of distance, a ship could fly in and come out still near Earth, but in the distant past. Maybe dinosaurs would witness the ship coming in for a landing.

Who Knew? A Car Battery Is the World's Most Recycled Product

Car batteries are highly recyclable - AAAEnlarge Photo
A concern raised over upcoming electric-drive cars--the all-electric 2011 Nissan Leaf, the 2011 Chevrolet Volt, and the 2012 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid--is what happens to their lithium-ion battery packs once the car's life ends.

Images of those battery packs tossed over cliffs or littering roadsides are a little overblown. Even after its automotive life is over, a used lithium-ion pack retains most of its energy capacity.

SURVEY

Most analysts expect a secondary market for used batteries to arise late in the 2010s. For instance, packs might become energy accumulators for photovoltaic solar panels or wind turbines, meaning renewable electricity could be generated, stored and used locally.
But, worry the naysayers, won't that require a huge infrastructure to accumulate, value, and redistribute these used packs?
Well, yes. But there's a very good model in place already: It's how we handle today's conventional 12-Volt lead-acid starter batteries, the ones used in almost every single one of the 70 million or so motor vehicles built globally each year.
Turns out that the 12-Volt battery is the most recycled product in the world, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. In the U.S. alone, about 100 million auto batteries a year are replaced, and 99 percent of them (p. 9) are turned in for recycling.
Roughly 97 percent of the lead in a 12-Volt battery can be recycled. The electrolyte, especially sulfuric acid, can be neutralized, repurposed, or converted into sodium sulfate used in fertilizers or dyes. Even the plastic case can be ground up and reused.
The one fly in the ointment? That recycling isn't always done properly. The Blacksmith Institute calls the incorrect dismantling of lead-acid batteries one of its 10 worst pollution problems for the globe.
Meanwhile, Toyota--which has sold two-thirds of the world's hybrid cars--has procedures in place for its dealers to properly dispose of used nickel-metal-hydride battery packs from cars like its Prius.
Lithium-ion packs just started to make their way into new cars last year--the first in the world was the 2009 Mercedes-Benz S400 Hybrid--but we expect other automakers to do the same.
One bonus: While lead is a highly neurotoxic substance (the Mad Hatter was so named, for instance, because he was poisoned by the lead used in making felt hats), most lithium-ion battery packs are essentially non-toxic.
So until you end up driving--and then junking--an electric car, be sure to recycle your auto battery as soon as you replace it.
Almost every place that you can buy a new battery will take the old one back for recycling. In fact, you may have to pay a "core charge" if you don't turn in the used battery.
