How to Make an Invisible Password Protected Folder

Do you want to password protect your folder? Do you want to make it invisible so that it remains unnoticed by the normal users? Well here is a way to do that. In this post I will show you how to make a password protected folder in Windows without using any additional software. Here is is step by step procedure to create a password protected folder.

 

How to create a Password Protected Folder?

 

Step-1: Create a new folder (Right-click -> New -> Folder) and give it any name of your choice. For instance I name it as ABC.

Step-2: Now in this folder place all the important files, documents or any folders that you want to password protect.

Step-3: Now Right-click on this folder (ABC) and select the option Send To ->Compressed (zipped) Folder.

Step-4: Now a new compressed zipped folder gets created next this folder (ABC) with the same name.

Step-5: Double-click on this compressed zipped folder and you should see your original folder (ABC) here.

Step-6: Now goto the File menu and select the option Add a password.

ie: File -> Add a password

Now a small window will pop up and here you can set your desired password. Once the password is set, the folder will ask for the password every time it is opened. Thus you have now created the password protected folder.

 

How to make it Invisible?

 

Step-1: Now Right-click on this password protected folder and select Properties.

Step-2: At the bottom select the option Hidden and press OK. Now your folder gets invisible (hidden).

Step-3: In order to unhide this folder go to My Computer – >Tools -> Folder options. Switch to View tab, scroll down and under Hidden files and folders you’ll see the following two options

• Do not show hidden files and folders
• Show hidden files and folders

 

Now select the second option and press OK. Now the invisible folder becomes visible in it’s location. To access it you need the password. To make it invisible again repeat step -1 through step-3 and select the first option and click OK. Now the folder becomes invisible once again.

I hope you like this post. Pass your comments!! Cheers

HoW tO uSe GOOgLe for HaCkinG

Google serves almost 80 percent of all search queries on the Internet, proving itself as the most popular search engine. However Google makes it possible to reach not only the publicly available information resources, but also gives access to some of the most confidential information that should never have been revealed. In this post I will show how to use Google for exploiting security vulnerabilities within websites. The following are some of the hacks that can be accomplished using Google.

 

1. Hacking Security Cameras

 

There exists many security cameras used for monitoring places like parking lots, college campus, road traffic etc. which can be hacked using Google so that you can view the images captured by those cameras in real time. All you have to do is use the following search query in Google. Type in Google search box exactly as follows and hit enter

inurl:”viewerframe?mode=motion”

Click on any of the search results (Top 5 recommended) and you will gain access to the live camera which has full controls. You will see something as follows

As you can see in the above screenshot, you now have access to the Live cameras which work in real-time. You can also move the cameras in all the four directions, perform actions such as zoom in and zoom out. This camera has really a less refresh rate. But there are other search queries through which you can gain access to other cameras which have faster refresh rates. So to access them just use the following search query.

intitle:”Live View / – AXIS”

Click on any of the search results to access a different set of live cameras. Thus you have hacked Security Cameras using Google.

 

2. Hacking Personal and Confidential Documents

 

Using Google it is possible to gain access to an email repository containing CV of hundreds of people which were created when applying for their jobs. The documents containing their Address, Phone, DOB, Education, Work experience etc. can be found just in seconds.

intitle:”curriculum vitae” “phone * * *” “address *” “e-mail”

You can gain access to a list of .xls (excel documents) which contain contact details including email addresses of large group of people. To do so type the following search query and hit enter.

filetype:xls inurl:”email.xls”

Also it’s possible to gain access to documents potentially containing information on bank accounts, financial summaries and credit card numbers using the following search query

intitle:index.of finances.xls

 

3. Hacking Google to gain access to Free Stuffs

 

Ever wondered how to hack Google for free music or ebooks. Well here is a way to do that. To download free music just enter the following query on google search box and hit enter.

“?intitle:index.of?mp3 eminem“

Now you’ll gain access to the whole index of eminem album where in you can download the songs of your choice. Instead of eminem you can subtitute the name of your favorite album. To search for the ebooks all you have to do is replace “eminem” with your favorite book name. Also replace “mp3″ with “pdf” or “zip” or “rar”.

I hope you enjoy this post. Pass your comments. Cheers!

Activating hidden Boot Screen in Vista os

Customizing the Boot Screen

 

Every time I turn on my computer, I am forced to stare at the boring Windows boot screen. I must admit that I found the moving bars amusing at first, but after a few months I became bored and wanted something different. Changing the boot screen is not something that Microsoft made easy; however, it is still possible with a few cool hacks.

 

Activating the hidden boot screen

 

Over the several years that Windows Vista was in the planning stages and in development, many promises were made about new features and enhancements. One of those promises had to do with high-resolution boot screens. This was going to be a great feature replacing the ancient 256-color boot screen that has been with Windows since Windows 95. Over time, as development of Vista was slipping behind schedule and developers were plagued with hardware compatibility problems with the high-resolution boot screen code, the feature was pulled from the final product.

Although this feature never made it into the released version of Windows Vista, there appears to be some parts of it left in the system. This section shows you a cool trick that will enable a hidden boot screen that looks like it was part of the high-resolution feature, as shown in Figure 1-1. It is nothing super fancy or elegant, but it sure is better than the boring boot screen that Vista shipped with, which looks like it is missing the Vista logo.

Figure 1-1

Before we proceed, note that some users have problems with using the hidden boot screen-possibly the reason why Microsoft hid it in the first place. If you are one of those users, simply boot into Safe mode and undo the steps for enabling the boot screen. Unfortunately, it is not currently known exactly what hardware has problems with the hidden boot screen. When you are ready, follow these steps to enable this boot screen on your PC:

1. Click the Start button, type msconfig in the Search box, and then press Enter.
2. When the System Configuration Utility loads, click the Boot tab.
3. Locate the No GUI boot box and select it, as shown in Figure 1-2.

Figure 1-2

4. Click OK and reboot your computer.

You should see the hidden boot screen after you reboot your PC. As I mentioned earlier, if you have problems with the hidden boot screen, just boot into Safe mode (hold down F8 when you boot up) and remove the check from the No GUI Boot box.

 

Customizing the boot screen image

 

The alternative boot screen that you just enabled in the preceding section is a great improvement compared to the boring moving progress bar that shows by default. However, this is still not good enough. With the help of a few cool tricks, you can create your own high-resolution, 24-bit boot screen without hacking any system files.

How is that possible? Thanks to the new language-independent operating system components in Windows Vista, some resources are stored in regional language files rather than the actual system components. This allows Microsoft to easily create a localized version of Windows Vista in any language by just creating new MUI (multilingual user interface) files that contain localized versions of bitmaps and text. Because MUI files are not digitally signed by Microsoft, you can make your own that has your own boot screen image in it, which allows you to customize the alternative boot screen to use any image you desire.

This new feature in Windows Vista provides a great enhancement and alternative to the traditional method of hacking system files as you had to do in previous versions of Windows to do things such as changing the boot screen. In addition, there is a great tool developed by Dan Smith called the Vista Boot Logo Generator that will automatically compile the boot images you select into an MUI file. This makes the overall process simple compared to trying to change boot screens, as you did in the past.

To get started, you need two images, one 800 × 600 and one 1024 × 768 image, both saved as 24-bit bitmap images. When you have those images picked out, resized, and saved, you are ready to follow these steps:

1. Visit http://www.computa.co.uk/staff/dan/?p=18 and download the latest copy of the Vista Boot Logo Generator and install it.
2. Click the Start button, type vista boot logo, and press Enter.
3. After the boot logo is downloaded, click the Browse for Images button in the 800 × 600 section and select your 800 × 600 24-bit bitmap image. Do the same for the 1024 × 768 section.
4. After you have both images selected, click File and select Save Boot Screen file as to save your MUI file. Save it to your desktop.
5. Next you need to replace the winload.exe.mui file located in c:\windows\system32\en-us with the file you just created. However, it is not as easy as a simple copy and paste because the Windows system files are protected. First, I recommend making a backup of the existing winload.exe.mui file so that you can copy it back if you have problems later. To get around the file protections, you need to take ownership of all the files in the en-us folder. Right-click the en-us folder and select Properties.
6. Select the Security tab and then click the Advanced button at the bottom of the window.
7. Select the Owner tab, and then click the Edit button.
8. Select your account from the Account list and check Replace owner on subcontainers and objects. Click OK to apply your changes.
9. Click OK to exit all the open Properties windows. You need to go back into the folder properties to change the file permissions. This time you will have more rights because you are now the folder owner. Right-click en-us and select Properties again.
10. Click the Security tab, and this time click Edit.
11. Click the Add button. Type in your username and click OK. Your account name should now appear on the Permissions list.
12. Select your account, and then select the Allow column for Full control, as shown inFigure 1-3.

Figure 1-3

Click OK to save your changes and OK once more to close the Properties screen. You will now be able to copy the winload.exe.mui file you made and saved to your desktop toc:\windows\system32\en-us. After you copy the file and reboot, you should see your new boot screen.

If you do not see your new boot screen and instead see the progress bar, make sure that you turned on the alternative boot screen as shown in the previous section. If you have any problems with your new boot screen MUI file, you can always boot using your Windows Vista install CD into a command prompt and can copy back the old winload.exe.mui file.

Dirty Side Of FB Connecting The Dots

Facebook like you know it. Isn’t exactly like what you think it is. I think most of you know this, it’s very old, but I don’t see anyone posted it much yet. But for those of you all who don’t know it, read on. Mark Zuckerberg had this intention eversince he started the community. But now if you actually connect the dots, you’ll know what facebook is all about. Yes, the smart hacker who is a founder of facebook made this billion dollar project possible with dirty intentions behind the curtains. Enabling its users to find their mates past bedtime.

Ever opened your browser and had a look at the following screen and had a second thought about what facebook really meant to the world?

Now lets connect the dots and have a look at it again.

Yes, you read it right. It does mean “Sex”.  And this is not just any co-incidence or mistake that just creeped in while designing the homepage. It was created intentionally, to mark that facebook is actually a place for people to  find sex. Its all bout the girls, hooking up, beer , booze and parties. Facebook, what we know of today is now clear that it accepts adult rated content which limits itself from higher level of explicity and nudity. It is also clear from the followin statistics that most of the shared posts are about sex.

It beats Positive content by double its degree. That’s the dirty secret that facebook has been hiding from everyone for years. For those of you all who have watched the movie “The Social Network”. Mark Zuckerberg clearly tells his friend that facebook, formerly known as facemash will help the students finding out which chic is single, which guy is dating, which girl is a slut etc. Its all about sex ever since the beginning.

Thanks for reading guys. I hope you guys enjoyed taste of the truth behind facebook. Comment, and share it on facebook, twitter, whatever if you really think people need to be aware of this.

seven Tips To Speed Up Windows 7

With the release of Windows 7, Microsoft may just have introduced the fastest operating system in the world. For those speed junkies who are never satisfied, we have provided a few tips that will help you make your PC even faster.

1. Disable Automatic Disk Defragmentation 
   The Automatic Disk Defragmentation feature in Windows is designed to maintain the health of the operating system. However, it also makes Windows run a little slower. You can put an end to this by disabling the feature and manually running at your leisure. To do so, click “Start” and select “Computer.” Next, right click on your primary hard drive and select “Properties.” Lastly, select the “Tools” tab, click “Defragment Now” and uncheck the “Run on a schedule” option.
2. Utilize ReadyBoost 
   ReadyBoost is a built-in Windows 7 feature that allows you to use a USB flash drive to enhance system performance. 
   How is this possible? The drive itself acts as additional computer memory! 
   In order to make use of this feature, you will need a USB drive with at least 2 GB of space. From there, you simply connect the drive to your computer, click “Start” and select “Computer.” Next, click on the USB drive and select “ReadyBoost.” Lastly, select “Use this device” and choose as much capacity as possible below on the “Space to reserve for system speed” slide.
3. Disable Windows Transparency 
   The transparency of windows is a great perk from a presentation aspect, but this may not be the case for those with older hardware as it can drastically impact performance. The good thing is that transparency can be disabled with ease. Simply right-click on your desktop, select “Personalize,” choose the active theme and then navigate to “Windows Color.” Finally, uncheck the “Enable Transparency” option.
4. Disable Unwanted Features 
   There may be numerous Windows 7 features that you really don’t need. These same features could also slow down your computer. To disable them, click on “Start,” choose “Control Panel” and then select “Programs and features.” Next, select the “Turn Windows features on or off” option, navigate through the list and uncheck all the features you want to disable. Once you are done, simply click “OK” to remove those features.
5. Disable Startup Services 
   Startup services are notorious for slowing down performance in XP and Vista. The same holds true for Windows 7. You can disable unwanted services by hitting “Start,” typing “msconfig” in the search bar and clicking “Enter.” Click the “Services Tab” on the next window and deselect the services you do not want to automatically run at startup. While this all depends on preference, services that impact performance the most include “Offline Files,” “Tablet PC Input Services,” Terminal Services,” “Fax” and “Windows Search.”
6. Disable Minimizing/Maximizing Animations 
   Many users have already fallen in love with the minimizing and maximizing animation effects of windows. However, some may find it irritating after a while as it can eventually lead to slowdowns. If you want to disable this function, hit “Start,” enter “System Properties Performance” in the search bar and click “OK.” On the next screen, deselect the “Animate window when minimizing and maximizing” option and click “OK.”
7. Update Your Windows 7 Drivers Lastly, ensure that you have the latest device drivers made specifically for Windows 7. Since your PC can have hundreds of drivers installed in it at any given time, this task can be tedious. Luckily there are 3rd party utilities out thee such as DriverFinder™, which can greatly speed up this process.

like WordPress Commenting System for Bloggers

No doubt, Blogger is the one of the most popular Blogging platform and best choice for newbies... 
It has a lots of attractive feature, But when it comes to the Commenting System, It totally sucks!!

Blogger’s Default Commenting System, Looks like out-dated, very classic and is not at all attractive. 
Commenting is one of the most integral parts of blogging: it’s what makes blogging a conversation, not a monologue. Many readers hesitate or don’t like to leave their comments if it looks like shit!

That’s why a good attractive commenting system will increase the amount of comments on your blog. 

In this article I’ll be teaching you how to decorate your default commenting form like WordPress comments. 
Note: This is not a specific guide, because each template has a different design and style.

Please Backup your template before proceeding.

First-of-all, remove all the CSS framework of the old commenting system in the template.  
    They are usually of the form:

#comments-block {...} 
.comment-body {...} 
.comment-footer {...} 
......

Now Search for </ b: skin> and insert the below CSS above it.

.comments-block a,.comments-block p,.comments-block a img{margin:0;padding:0;outline:none;border:none} 
.comments-block{width:600px;background:#fff;padding:10px;font-family:Arial;line-height:18px} 
.comments-block .arrow{float:left;margin:22px 0 0 6px;display:block;width:8px;height:16px;background:url(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_db8JnSYhOyS86zlLQbIb0kLrQNNSrjlw8CfePkNGjfcRi2xVz7s2hGl6JwsZt7pbKCCeKnM1yRocWFV6O4SLMb2PSbytJJOLSekb3YBDfSfXicvwmQ8Z6ko5_BzzLgCEauY4JF7613c/) no-repeat}
