Setting it as the default is now as simple as opening up the “Default Programs” panel then associating the search protocol with the third-party service you want. You will also need to set this program as the defa
. When the command prompt opens type “CD C:Test” (replace “Test” with the name of the folder you want to hide.)
2. Now type “attrib file +s +h” and replace “file” with the name of the actual file name you would like to h
This year however I got to a point where the standard folder system just wasn’t working for https://windowsmastery.Com me.I’m a university student and I’ve been keeping my files and folders organized pretty well, but after spending so much time constantly navigating through folder after sub-folder I finally got sick of it and I started looking for something more product
In the screenshot below you can see the problems with having an old index. Here are fragments of old files which have been deleted but are still included in the search. If you want to rebuild it quickly leave your computer running all night. Background indexing slows down or pauses with user activity so if you only have your computer on when you are using it then it will take a significantly longer period of time to complete a full in
Nearly every single file on your computer contains some type of personal information – either information about the user, information on setting e.g. time, date, etc. In any case, it may be good to remove some of this information before making it available to the public, such as uploading a video or image onl
A good way to find what files you don’t need is to run a unspecific search and take a look at the results. Chances are you will see some kinds of files included which are fairly irrelevant and unnecessary, right-click these and take a look at the file types in the properties pa

Too many times we rely on our Anti-Virus/Anti-Spware to just work. We think since we have it installed, that it’s safe and sound. I think we’ve come to find these days, many Anti-Virus applications do a very poor job of protecting you against ad/mal/spyware, even though they claim to do
A couple of weeks ago I wrote an article in which I described some of the features I particularly liked about Vista. However in the comments Justin and anob pointed out that a couple of the features I had mentioned were not actually Vista speci
Here is the place where you can change exactly what Search indexes and when it indexes. You can also rebuild it from scratch, something I would recommend every 2 – 3 months. Without this, old files that no longer exist will hang around in the index messing up your searches and slowing it down. You’ll find Windows Search 4.0 will rebuild your index much more rapidly then previous versi
Once you have your SSH server configured so that you can connect to it from any Internet connection, you’ll of course need a client to connect to it. Linux and OS X both have SSH clients built-in. If you’re on Windows, the client of choice is PuTTY . I will provide instructions on tunneling with PuTTY, but you can certainly use other clients as w
The source port you use for setting up the tunnels is arbitrary. We could have used 1234 instead of 3390 if we wanted to, as long as nothing is running on the local machine at port 1234. What is not arbitrary is what you use on the destination IP and port. For that you will need to use the proper IP address and port for the service you wish to connect
Don’t want to use Bittorrent for some reason? Well no problem you can try “Windows File Sharing” just as you would do on a LAN. Just that it is a lot more simple here. When I clicked on it I was hoping to go through a messy workgroup setup and complicated network settings, but what did I see? I saw the shared printer and shared docs (in other words, it’s already done and I did nothing). Yes that’s how simple it is. Depending upon your situation you may be prompted for a password or do some minor configurations h
Click one of the computer names that you want to access. Choose “Remote Control” from the menu that shows up. Enter your buddy’s password and you’ll get remote access to that computer. The whole password situation used for Remote Control bothers me a bit. While this is fine if you are in a work/home scenario, this might not be a good idea in the “buddy” scenario as the Remobo password and the Remote Control password are the same. So if you know someone’s remote control password, you know their account password. Kinda l
3. Now, go back to C:Test and look for your file or folder, it’s not there! You cannot find it through simply browsing around, through the command prompt, or even if you click “Show Hidden Files and Folde
