Disable Autorun For Removable Media In Windows 7

Most malware applications spread because of the Autorun feature, which automatically executes a said file mentioned in the autorun.inf file located at the root of any removable device like USB. Also the Open folder to view files option can be easily used to run any unwanted file or executable and thus in this way there is a risk of your computer getting infected. Precaution is better than cure, its very simple to disable autorun.

First of all launch the Run dialogue box by pressing Win + R, then type Gpedit.msc and press Enter.

The Local Group Policy Editor will be launched.

Now navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > AutoPlay Policies.

Locate the Turn off Autoplay option, then right click it and choose the Edit option.

On the next step, click the Enabled option.

Click the Apply button to complete the configuration. Make sure to select All drives from the drop down menu of the Turn off Autoplay on option,to disable Autorun on all drives.

Google Tricks

A few things you might want to try with Google:
Hand type the following prefixes and note their utility:

• link:url Shows other pages with links to that url. 
• related:url same as "what's related" on serps.
• site:domain restricts search results to the given domain.
• allinurl: shows only pages with all terms in the url.
• inurl: like allinurl, but only for the next query word.
• allintitle: shows only results with terms in title.
• intitle: similar to allintitle, but only for the next word. "intitle:webmasterworld google" finds only pages with webmasterworld in the title, and google anywhere on the page.
• cache:url will show the Google version of the passed url.
• info:url will show a page containing links to related searches, backlinks, and pages containing the url. This is the same as typing the url into the search box.
• spell: will spell check your query and search for it.
• stocks: will lookup the search query in a stock index.
• filetype: will restrict searches to that filetype. "-filetype:doc" to remove Microsoft word files.
• daterange: is supported in Julian date format only. 2452384 is an example of a Julian date.
• maps: If you enter a street address, a link to Yahoo Maps and to MapBlast will be presented.
• phone: enter anything that looks like a phone number to have a name and address displayed. Same is true for something that looks like an address (include a name and zip code)
• site:www.somesite.net "+www.somesite.+net"
• (tells you how many pages of your site are indexed by google)
• allintext: searches only within text of pages, but not in the links or page title
• allinlinks: searches only within links, not text or title.

Undo Sent Emails in Gmail

Did you know you can undo a sent e-mail in Gmail? It’s a lesser known feature, but Google just made it even better than it was before. When it first launched, you were given a 5-second window during which you could hit “undo.” Now that’s up to 30 seconds, Google Operating System Discovered.
The feature is hidden from most users who don’t know where to look, so here’s a quick guide to avoiding social and workplace faux pas with the click of a button. Be aware that the feature is part of Gmail Labs, though. That means it’s still in testing and it might not always work as intended. 

• Go to Gmail Lab

Since the Undo Send feature is part of Gmail Labs, you’ll have to navigate to the Gmail Labs page to activate it. Load up Gmail and look in the top-right corner of the page. Between your e-mail address and Settings you’ll see the green Labs icon. Give it a click.

• Enable “Undo Send” and Save Your Change.

 You’ll be presented with a list of features Google is testing in Gmail. Some are very useful and some are just fun. We’ve gone into more depth on all Gmail Labs has to offer in previous articles, but this time we’re here just for the Undo Send feature.You’ll usually find it close to the bottom of the list. We’ve included a picture of it above so you know what you’re looking for. Just select Enable then scroll down and save your changes.

• Customize Undo Send’s Duration

 By default, Gmail gives you a 10-second window of time in which you may undo a sent e-mail. You can change that to five, 20 or 30 seconds by going to Settings (in the top right corner of the main Gmail page, right next to the Labs icon) and finding the Undo Send section inside the “General” tab.

There you can enable or disable Undo Send and change the duration with a drop-down selection box as pictured above.

• Write and Send Your E-mail

 Now that Undo Send is enabled, it works each time you send a new e-mail. You don’t have to do anything unusual beforehand to make it possible to use Undo Send with that e-mail.

• Click the “Undo” Button After You Send

 Now you have either five, 10, 20 or 30 seconds to undo your sent e-mail, depending on what you selected under Settings.As soon as you hit Send, a subtle line of text will appear above your Inbox saying “Your message has been sent.”

It will be accompanied by a few extra options. Among them is “Undo.” Click that within the allotted time and your faux pas will be prevented.Note that you can hit “Z” on your keyboard, the Gmail shortcut for undo.

Just don’t navigate away from or close this page, because once you do, you’ll lose the opportunity to undo your sent message forever.

• “Sending Has Been Undone”

You’ll immediately be taken back to the e-mail composition page, and your e-mail will be in draft form, unsent and ready for further editing — or deletion, if writing it was ill-advised to begin with!

Recovery Deleted Files In Windows

Did you ever delete some files from the Recycle Bin only to discover later those files were important?

Many people are unaware that deleting a file from the Recycle Bin dosen't really "Delete" the file from the Hard Drive.
Infact, when a file is deleted, Windows marks the file for deletion and removes it from the File System Database.
The space occupied by the file is marked as free space for new data, but the old file is still present.
If some new data is written in the same part where the old file existed, the old file may become unrecoverable.
So, an immediately deleted file has good chances of recovery.

There are tools available to recover deleted files. Following are some of the Free tools:

1. PC Inspector File Recovery. (Freeware) (download)

PC Inspector recovers lost files and finds partitions automatically, even when the boot sector of your drive has been erased of damaged, or the file's header information is not available. You can save the recovered files in your machine. Files are recovered with the original date and time stamp.
I personally use PC Inspector.

2. Restoration. (Freeware) (download)

You can read more about Restoration here.

3. VirtualLab Data Recovery Software. (Free to try) (download)

Copy All File Names In A Directory To A Text File

Got to know this last week! This works great if you want to save all the filenames in a directory to a text file.1. Open up your command prompt by typing cmd in the run dialog box and hitting Enter.

2. Navigate to the directory which has the files and type the following command -
DIR /B /O:N > filename.txt
This will save all the filenames in the current directory to a text file. The text file will be saved in the same directory.
3. To save file names from any sub-directories in the current folder, just add /S like -
DIR /B /O:N /S > filename.txt
