All of us, every once in a while experience some difficulties with WIndows. The most famous one is the responsiveness(should I rather say non-responsiveness) of certain tasks. And when a task goes berserk or out of control, we mostly end up with explorer crashing and starting up again. Windows has a feature that can close all non responsive programs automatically, before they can do some damage and kill some other essential tasks.
The best way to enable this feature is to edit the registry. It’s very important to make a backup before editing, so if anything goes wrong and your OS starts to malfunction, you can always bring back your backup.
1.START>RUN… type in regedit
2.Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER>CONTROL PANEL>DESKTOP and find the key AutoEndTask. Change its value from 0 to 1.
Now Windows will automatically end those task which are non-responsive in that moment.
USB flash drives are a simple solution for easy backup and storage of important data. With a storage capacity that meets or exceeds the amount of data available on a DVD, USB drives are unique in that no other hardware is needed. Once plugged into a USB slot, the information on a flash drive is immediately available to the host computer. One of the nice features of CD-ROM and DVD drives is the ability to automatically run a disk when it's inserted into the drive. USB flash drives under Windows have similar functionality, but with a few limits where XP is concerned.
When a flash drive is inserted into a Windows XP driven computer, the operating system reads the files then offers the user options of how to continue (the same process as when a data CD is inserted in a drive). Depending on the type of files on the drive, the operating system displays options relevant to the file types . In other words, if you insert a flash drive containing mp3 files, Windows will offer the option of automatically playing the music in Windows Media Player or another media program that might be installed on the computer. There is a check box under these options that controls whether or not the operating system performs the same function anytime a drive is inserted with the same type of files. Checking this box will allow you to skip this step, so the next time you insert a drive with MP3's the program you chose will run automatically.
Setting up a program to automatically run directly from a flash drive in Windows XP is a little more complicated. A third-party program will need to be installed that will give the user the option to run the program when the flash drive is inserted. The inability to auto run a program from a USB drive is a security feature in XP to prevent malevolent programs from compromising the operating system's integrity.
In contrast, Windows Vista does allow this feature. A program on the root directory of the flash drive is run by creating a text file (with a text editing program like Notepad) named autorun.inf. The autorun.inf file should include the line "[autorun] open=XXX.exe" (without the quotes) where XXX is the name of the program you want to run. Save this file to the flash drive, making sure the extension is 'inf', not 'txt'. Once the drive is inserted again, choose 'Always Do This For Software and Games', then 'Run This Program'. Whenever the drive is inserted again, the program will run automatically.
Some computers are also capable of booting directly from the flash drive by changing CMOS options. With the proper CMOS settings, the computer will first attempt to boot from a flash drive inserted in a USB port. If bootable files are not located on the flash drive, the operating system will automatically boot from your hard drive as normal. A handy feature should your computer crash and modifications to your unbootable operating system need to be performed.
Flash drives are able to do everything CD-ROMs and DVDs can do, usually with greater ease. The fact that new computers all have USB ports, but vary in DVD or CD-ROM availability, is an argument for the USB drive's indispensability over any other storage medium.

How to Keep Your Laptop Secure You think of your self as a member of the mobile elite. You are connected 24 hours a day seven days a week and you are proud of it. The last thing that you need is to be shutdown due to a compromised laptop. The security of your laptop should be of the utmost importance since it is your life line to your business. Here are some tips to keep
that device safe and clean from malicious software.
Firewall I can never stress it enough; you must have a firewall enabled at all times. It is what will prevent 90% of your issues. No matter what form of connection you are using, it could be the wired hotel connection or the wireless at the airport. You must use some sort of firewall. At the least if you are using the windows integrated firewall you will protect your self from inbound connections. If you are interested in an additional layer of security you can use a third party firewall. Comodo makes an impressive free firewall that will also allow you to monitor outbound connections. Another common issue I find is users who either tether there cell phone to their laptop or use a WWAN card forget that this connection is the same as being connected to a hotel wireless connection. Remember no matter what you are doing you should have the firewall enabled.
File Encryption If you are on the road, keep your files encrypted. It protects your information if the laptop is ever lost. If encrypting and decrypting files constantly is an issue you can easily use PGP Enterprise’s Secure Disk function. It will create a virtual encrypted disk that is presented to windows as a local disk drive. The drive is actually a file that contains all of your documents that you save within the virtual drive.
Whole Disk Encryption If a basic encryption of your files is not enough or your laptop contains sensitive settings such as VPN connection profiles, I recommend encrypting the entire disk drive. There are a number of software packages that can perform this function. A very comprehensive list including a feature comparison can be found here. Full Disk Encryption
Patches You must keep your system up to date on the latest security patches, especially when moving your laptop between access points. A desktop PC will never come into contact with the number of different devices that your laptop will. Every Friday night run windows update and upgrade to the latest security releases.
In a security context, a hacker is someone involved in computer security/insecurity, specializing in the discovery of exploits in systems (for exploitation or prevention), or in obtaining or preventing unauthorized access to systems through skills, tactics and detailed knowledge.
In the most common general form of this usage, "hacker" refers to a black-hat hacker (a malicious or criminal hacker). There are also ethical hackers (more commonly referred to as white hats), and those more ethically ambiguous (grey hats).
To disambiguate the term hacker, often cracker is used instead, referring either to computer security hacker culture as a whole to demarcate it from the academic hacker culture (such as by Eric S. Raymond[1]) or specifically to make a distinction within the computer security context between black-hat hackers and the more ethically positive hackers (commonly known as the white-hat hackers).
The context of computer security hacking forms a subculture which is often referred to as the network hacker subculture or simply the computer underground. According to its adherents, cultural values center around the idea of creative and extraordinary computer usage.
Proponents claim to be motivated by artistic and political ends, but are often unconcerned about the use of criminal means to achieve them.
If you want to generate traffic from SEO, here are some tips to help you out:
1. Target contents of your site-specific. This will help to attract people who are looking for specific information
2. Let all articles or blog on your site is written at the level of the specific areas of your niche. For example, a website devoted to the sale of fishing equipment, you need to articles on "how to choose a fishing reels" or "best fishing lures to use, or even articles on how to catch certain fish.
3. Plan SEO campaign. There are many tools on the Internet that you can use to tell the search strings, which are most popular. Look at the most searched for key phrases in your niche, and push them sentences are similar in content. The better you are the subject of the concentration, the higher your site will be held in the search engines.
4. Make sure your SEO-centric content is regularly updated. Search engines crawl the Internet often looking for new content, which can highlight. If the content is old, your site will include evaluations of the search engine, and this is the last thing you want.
5. Keep in mind that the above, the content must be legible. It is better to choose keywords and key phrases that are properly formulated, then choosing something badly formulated, it is slightly more popular. For example, "the best fishing lures" ensure a better copy than "fishing lures the best in the market." If your copy can not be read, the operation will not translate into sales, so be sure that you write for your readers, and not a search engine!

Telkomnet Instan adalah salah satu jenis layanan dari PT. Telkom Indonesia dalam hal koneksi sambungan internet. Telkomnet instan dapat digunakan oleh seluruh pengguna telepon telkom baik telepon tetap rumah maupun telepon nirkabel telkom flexi cdma.
Untuk menikmati layanan mudah, cepat dan hemat ini ada beberapa persyaratan yang musti anda penuhi terlebih dahulu, yaitu :
1. Komputer PC atau Laptop yang masih berfungsi dengan baik 2. Modem dial up untuk jack kabel telepon biasa internal maupun eksternal. Jangan lupa dengan driver modem jika diperlukan. 3. Kabel sambungan telepon telkom yang nomernya masih aktif 4. Setting dasar untuk koneksi ke server telkomnet instan
Jika semua syarat telah bisa anda penuhi maka seting pada internet connection di control panel untuk konek ke telkomnet instan adalah sebagai berikut :

Setelah setting anda bisa konek ke internet dengan membuka kotak dialog internet connection lalu tekan tombol connect. Nanti otomatis komputer kita akan konek ke telkom dan jika berhasil maka akan ada tampilah perhitungan waktu koneksi dan tombol disconnect untuk memutus hubungan internet. Tarif internet telkomnet instat normal adalah Rp. 165 per menit. Saat ini berlaku tarif khusus promosi Rp. 100 permenit di hari akhir pekan sabtu dan minggu karena pada hari tersebut resource koneksi telkom tidak banyak yang akses, sehingga telkom mencari cara untuk menjual bandwidth traffic yang tidak terpakai hingga akhir tahun.
Untuk mengetahui apakah daerah wilayah sekitar anda sudah dapat menikmati telkomnet instant anda dapat menghubungi atau menelpon nomor 080989999 dari pesawat telepon anda. Jika ada bunyi modem / fax seperti bunyi cicitan tikus yang kesakitan maka berarti daerah anda sudah bisa menikmati akses internet mudah, capat, tapi koneksi belum tentu terjamin.

Penting !!! Bila anda sudah selesai menggunakan telkomnet instan, pastikan anda memutuskan koneksi / disconnect dari sambungan internet dan mencabut kabel dari komputer pc atau laptop / notebook anda karena beberapa kasus pulsanya jalan terus sehingga mengakibatkan kerugian fatal bisa mencapai jutaan rupiah.

Tahukah kamu bahwa kecepatan koneksi internet dapat kamu tingkatkan dengan mengubah beberapa setting tertentu pada Windows. Walaupun sekarang sudah banyak software-software untuk mempercepat koneksi internet saya kira kamu tidak akan rugi untuk mengetahui cara mempercepat secara "manual" seperti yang tercantum di bawah ini:
Cara Pertama : 1. Dari Control Panel, klik icon Modem. 2. Pada kotak dialog Modem Properties, pilih modem yang akan diubah settingnya dan klik pada tombol Properties 3. Pada tab General, ubah Maximum Speed menjadi 115200. 4. Pindah ke tab Connection dan klik tombol Port Setting. 5. Dari kotak dialog Advanced Port Setting, beri tanda check pada Use FIFO buffers. Kemudian ubah Receive Buffer menjadi 14 dan Transmit Buffer menjadi 16. Lalu klik OK. 6. Klik button Advanced, beri tandacheck pada Use Flow Control. Kemudian pilih radio button Hardware. Pada bagian Extra Setting, isi dengan &C1&D2E1Q0V1X4%C0 S7=55 S11=55 S0=0.
Cara Kedua: 1. Dari Control Panel, klik icon System. 2. Pindah ke tab Device Manager. 3. Pada bagian Ports (COM & LPT), pilih port yang digunakan oleh modem Anda dan klik tombol Properties. 4. Pindah ke tab Port Settings. 5. Pada bagian Bits per second, isi dengan 921600.
Cara Ketiga: 1. Buka file system.ini yang terletak di C:\Windows. 2. Pada bagian [386Enh], tambahkan dengan COM1Buffer=16384. Ubah COM1 dengan port yang digunakan oleh modem.
File sampah di sini berarti file yang tidak diperlukan lagi dalam sistem. Kita bisa mengecek seberapa banyak file sampah, sekaligus menghapusnya dengan fasilitas pencarian windows.
