How to Use User Account and Secure Password

How to Use User Account and Secure Password

Posted by Unknown  |  at  07:13

Assign passwords to all your administrative powered user accounts. It’s always a good practice to use secure passwords and never to leave it blank . While you install XP, it creates a default administrative powered user account during the installation, XP asks a password for this user account during the installation and most of the users neglect this screen and continues to finish the process.

When the installation is finished XP creates a new user account and the default administrator account still remains with a blank password, this may cause fatal problems if a hacker finds out the secret, that one of your administrator account does not have a password, so make it sure that you provide a strong password while the installation.

The first rule to manage user accounts properly is to provide a strong password and the second one is to use a less privileged user account while working with the internet. Running your computer in administrator mode and connecting it to the internet is a potential risk, as any malware that manages to enter the system will have full control over your system resources.

Notice:
Users of a limited account cannot install software or hardware or cannot change the account name or type. For some programs it’s necessary to be launched by an administrator, for such programs use the “Run As..” option to overcome the problem. Right click the application you want to administrator user name and password. Provide the details and now the software is ready to go. Note that this feature only works when Secondary Logon service running, make sure that this service is running from Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.

 NTFS is the recommended file system for windows based operating system. It has better access control and better security compared to the FAT file system. NTFS enable you to decide which user and which group has access to which folders and file on your system.

If you have any FAT or FAT 32 partitions, these can be converted to NTFS using the convert.exe command line utility. To convert a partition NTFS, open a command prompt.

How You Can Recover From A Hard Drive Crash

How You Can Recover From A Hard Drive Crash

Posted by Unknown  |  at  05:50

In addition to daily backup, I prefer to do a weekly backup every weekend. You should use one directory on your portable computer for long term backup. Particularly if you often download a software and don’t have any physical representative of it.

Re-arrange the directory structure on your desktop computer, creating one primary root directory, with a sub-directory for every application you use to work with. The sub-directories under the root “Own” are only to take the data files associated with Winword, Eudora or any other programs that create output.

Whenever you create or modify a file be sure to write/update the current data in a comment line near the top.

Finally, let’s not forget that, especially in computing there is hardly anything bad that wouldn’t have any positive side effect. Over a time a lot of  “scrap” will assemble on your hard drive. Nowadays that’s not much of a problem, just some wasted storage space. But remember the performance is diminished when the operating system has to struggle with a lot of complicated entanglements.

Following These Steps to Recover Your Hard Drive

    First, turn off the computer. If the computer continues to restart after the Windows logo appears without giving a chance to access the desktop and a blue screen flashes for a split second, it is most likely a registry problem, virus or hard drive fail.
    The impending loss of important documents and files is a sickening feeling, but there is a way to recover them before reformatting the computer. After the case is purchased, carefully remove the hard drive from the computer by detaching the connected wires, plug the hard drive into the case and it will act as an external USB drive.
    Once this is completed, attach it to another computer and hopefully it will show up as another drive. If this works, simply drag and drop the important files onto the computer and back them up onto a USB stick or DVD disc. If this doesn’t work, the hard drive has either failed or it’s not connected properly.
    Now that the file is safe, it is time to reboot the computer. Ideally, when a computer is purchased, the user will make a back up disc of the operating system in case of a meltdown. If you don’t have the disc, contact the company that makes the computer and perhaps they will supply one.
