ALT is the key. Press ALT in Windows panels like Control Panel. Magical...

As far as I know It just takes you to the menu and underlines the combination of shortcut keys that you can use with Alt key. like pressing alt in control panel will take you to menu bar and will underline keys that you can use as combination with Alt.

In Windows 7 it shows a menu I at least don't see otherwise. This happens in the control panel..

Oh, and another computer tip: It's worth learning Linux.

How to stop someone's internet access

Launch Notepad Type in:
 

Code:

@Echo off
Ipconfig /release

Save that as a .bat and send it to someone. They're IP address will be lost when they launch it, and therefore they won't be able to fix it

However, this is VERY easy to fix. Simply type in

Code:

@Echo off
IPconfig /renew

Hum.

Mind to share what I need to know to do stuff like this?

And does this works on windows without administrator privileges?

Ctrl+Shift+t will re-open a closed tab. its so useful!

Access Administrator account: Windows XP ( not sure for Windows 7)
Steps:
1: Boot your computer.
2: Wait for the computer to list all available accounts.
3: Double click Ctrl+Alt+Del twice.
4: A window will appear with User and Passwords.
5: Type "Administrator" in the User space and leave the Password as it is. Click OK and VOILA!! You have entered the Administrator account.

Administrator account is like the first account ever created in a Windows, its different from the account from when we buy a new laptop. I think this is why the "Run as administrator" option is available in Win Vista and 7, although i havent tried to access the administrator account.

Sweet! That kid seriously has an interesting life, that's for sure. I wish I was that skilled at hacking. I'm an ethical hacker, but I doubt I could get into a NASA computer. However, the government here is often full of potholes because of all the red tape. The sites don't look all that hard to attack, but the military would probably try much harder for their security. I've never hacked the government as I don't have a reason to, but it would be interesting to see if I could do it with permission.

Tip of the Day: Remove old useless drivers

Every time you attach a piece of hardware to your PC, whether it is a USB stick, a new graphics card or a keyboard/mouse, the drivers get installed for that device to become usable by Windows. This is perfectly fine but a problem arises when the device is not going to be permanently connected and may be something you plug-in once and never have to again. Unless you specifically remove the driver by uninstalling through any software which accompanied it, the chances are there will still be an entry for that device left in Windows long after it was removed. Windows will still try to look for and start these devices when booting and although the difference may be tiny, hundreds of them could affect booting time and system performance, especially on older machines. Issues when installing new hardware might also be caused by an old driver conflicting with a new one. Read More
