How to Lock Folder Without Any Software : pC data Security Without Any Software


There are lot of ways to lock folders on computer,But in this post we sharing, How to hide folder / Lock Folder

without any software. Just go through this post to know about that.This trick works in windows xp,vista and windows 7.

How to Lock Folder using notepad

1.    Open Notepad [Start-->Run-->Notepad  OR Open Notpad].

2.    Copy the below code and Paste it in notepad.

cls 
:End 
@ECHO OFF 
title Folder Locker 
if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK 
if NOT EXIST Locker goto MDLOCKER 
:CONFIRM 
echo Are you sure u want to Lock the folder(Y/N) 
set/p "cho=>" 
if %cho%==Y goto LOCK 
if %cho%==y goto LOCK 
if %cho%==n goto END 
if %cho%==N goto END 
echo Invalid choice. 
goto CONFIRM 
:LOCK 
ren Locker "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" 
attrib +h +s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" 
echo Folder locked 
goto End 
:UNLOCK 
echo Enter password to Unlock folder 
set/p "pass=>" 
if NOT %pass%==12345678 goto FAIL 
attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" 
ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" Locker 
echo Folder Unlocked successfully 
goto End 
:FAIL 
echo Invalid password 
goto end 
:MDLOCKER 
md Locker 
echo Locker created successfully 
goto End  



Default Password Is
In the above batch code we added password is 12345678, and you can change that password.

3.    Now save the notepad file as locker.bat

Note : 1st Click on the bat file and lock to yes and then Unlock and your Folder is created where you save your data

4.    Now a batch file will created in where you saved location.

5.    Double Click on locker.bat file and you will see a Locker Folder at the same location where your      
       locker.bat file is saved.

6.    Double click on that Locker folder and store your personal data in it.
How to Lock Folder Without Any Software : pC data Security Without Any Software working all operating system without window 8

7.    After storing all your data in that folder again double click on locker.bat file and press Y there to Lock the folder and press Enter.

8.  The folder will be locked.

9.    To open this folder just double click the .bat file, the system will ask to enter the password. Just enter your password and Press Enter. The folder will be unlocked.

So this is very simple trick to hide or lock the files in window XP or window 7. Just you have to be careful that nobody can access the .bat file generated and can know your password.

USB to Ethernet Connector 4.0.0.574

USB to Ethernet Connector is a professional solution, which allows sharing any number of USB ports and devices on your computer over LAN/WAN/VLAN/VPN/Internet. Remote computers (clients) can connect to your computer (server) and communicate with USB devices, plugged into shared remote ports, as if those devices were connected directly to client computers. All applications that work with remote USB devices won't see the difference and will treat them as local ones. As USB to Ethernet Connector shares USB ports, not devices themselves, you can plug any USB device into shared USB port, then unplug this device and plug in another one, and it will automatically appear at the remote client side without any additional configuration.



With USB to Ethernet Connector you can:


• Share USB devices on the local PC (server) so that they become available for usage on the remote PC (client)
• Share any number of USB devices
• Freely unplug USB device and plug in another one into shared USB port on the server — the device will automatically appear on the client
• Give custom names to your USB devices (label them) to let clients easily identify them
• Set authorization password and enable traffic encryption
• Disable current connection from the server side
• Access remote shared USB devices from virtual machine, remote desktop or blade server
• Access remote shared USB devices via Wi-Fi
• Two types of connection with remote devices are available: "Connect" and "Connect once", the latter allowing client to establish one-time connection without attempts to restore it if broken
• See who currently occupies shared USB device from other clients' side



USB to Ethernet Connector for Windows — What's new in this version


Full features list:
• Share your USB device with others over local network or Internet using one application
• Shared USB devices can be easily accessed from virtual machines (VMware, VMware ESX, Microsoft Hyper-V, • Citrix XenDesktop, Virtual PC, etc)
• Share an unlimited number of USB devices
• Any number of people can connect and utilize a shared USB device, only one client can connect to a shared remote device at a time though
• Auto-connect to new USB devices whenever you plug them in
• Shared USB ports are automatically re-configured every time you boot your PC
• USB v1.1 and v2.0 compatible
• OHCI, UHCI and EHCI standards are supported
• Fully compatible with Hyper-threading and multi-processor systems
• Integrate USB over Ethernet technology into your own applications (OEM license only)
• Initiate connection with a client from the server side (callback connection) — currently for OEM License owners
• Works on virtual machines (VMware, VMware ESX Server, Citrix XenServer and Microsoft Hyper-V support)

6. Added: two types of connection with remote devices are available now — "Connect" and "Connect once", the latter allowing clients to establish one-time connection without attempts to restore it if broken
7. Added: support of external USB sound cards
8. Added: computer name of the client which currently occupies shared USB device is displayed in the list of available shared USB devices on other clients' side
9. Added: possibility to label USB devices (set custom names, displayed on both server and client sides), which will help identify them if several devices of the same type (e.g. two printers) are shared
10. Added: special icon is assigned to devices if traffic encryption and authorization were set on the server to secure the connection
11. Added: automatic check for updates
12. Expanded: list of supported webcams
1З. Improved: USB dongles (hardware keys) support
14. Improved: overall program stability
15. Improved: error logging
16. Improved: USB device name detection and its reflection in USB devices tree
17. Improved: dialog on the client side for entering password is invoked only if remote shared USB device requires authorization

[TIP] Windows XP Boot Process

There are posts here at PC-Chat with the startup problems of their PC as Missing NTLDR, not staying the bootup, etc.. Here I made just in case understandings help where I had a problem and how do magboot Windows XP.


What happens to our computer we switch on the power.


Sorry to please you if I did long Etong. On You please see paragraphs 5 lng describing the boot process. But because the unlearned Here I please and I want to share with those who have wanted to know what the Windows XP Startup or Boot Process.


Understanding Windows XP Startup Process
To diagnose and correct a startup problem, you need to understand what occurs during startup. The first step in isolating startup problems is for you to determine whether the problem occurs before, during, or after Microsoft Windows XP Professional starts up.
The root cause of startup failure, including contributing factors, can stem from a variety of problems, such as user error, application faults, hardware failures, or virus activity. If the condition is serious enough, you might need to reinstall Windows XP Professional or restore files from backup media.
In x86-based systems, startup failures that occur before the operating system loader (Ntldr) starts could indicate missing or deleted files, or it could indicate damage to the hard disk master boot record (MBR), partition table, or boot sector. If a problem occurs during startup, the system might have incompatible software or drivers, incompatible or improperly configured hardware, or corrupted system files.
The startup process for x64-based computers is the same as that of x86-based computers.
Startup Phases
The Windows XP Professional startup process closely resembles that of Microsoft Windows NT version 4.0, Microsoft Windows 2000, and Microsoft Windows Server™ 2003, but it significantly differs from Microsoft MS-DOS, Microsoft Windows 95, Microsoft Windows 98, and Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me).
All computers running Windows XP Professional share the same startup sequence:
• Power-on self test (POST) phase
• Initial startup phase
• Boot loader phase
• Detect and configure hardware phase
• Kernel loading phase
• Logon phase
The preceding startup sequence applies to systems started or restarted after a normal shutdown, and it does not apply when you bring your computer out of hibernation or standby. See “Resolving Power Management Problems” later in this chapter for more information about problems that might occur when you bring your computer out of standby or hibernation.
For Windows XP Professional to start, the system and boot partitions must contain the files listed in .
Windows XP Professional Startup Files 

1. Ntldr
  • Location: Root of the system partition
  • Description: The operating system loader.
2. Boot.ini
  • Location: Root of the system partition
  • Description: A file that specifies the paths to Windows XP Professional installations. For multiple-boot systems, Boot.ini contains the operating system choices that display on the startup menu.
3. Bootsect.dos (multiple-boot systems only)
  • Location: Root of the system partition
  • Description: A hidden system file that Ntldr loads for a Windows XP Professional multiple-boot configuration that includes MS-DOS, Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Me. Bootsect.dos contains the boot sector for these operating systems.
4. Ntdetect.com
  • Location: Root of the system partition
  • Description: The file that passes information about the hardware configuration to Ntldr.
5. Ntbootdd.sys
  • Location: Root of the system partition (required for SCSI or Advanced Technology Attachment [ATA]controllers with firmware disabled or that do not support extended INT-13 calls).
  • Description: The device driver used to access devices attached to a SCSI or ATA hard disk whose adapter is not using BIOS. The contents of this file depend on the startup controller used.
6. Ntoskrnl.exe
  • Location: systemroot\System32
  • Description: The core (also called the kernel) of the Windows XP Professional operating system. Code that runs as part of the kernel does so in privileged processor mode and has direct access to system data and hardware. During installation on single processor systems, Windows XP Professional Setup copies Ntoskrnl.exe from the operating system CD. During installation on multiprocessor systems, Windows XP Professional Setup copies Ntoskrnlmp.exe and renames it Ntoskrnl.exe.
7. Hal.dll
  • Location: systemroot\System32
  • Description: The hardware abstraction layer (HAL) dynamic-link library file. The HAL abstracts low-level hardware details from the operating system and provides a common programming interface to devices of the same type (such as video adapters). The Microsoft Windows XP Professional operating system CD contains several Hal files. Setup copies to your computer the file that fits your hardware configuration and then renames the file as Hal.dll.

XP Boot Sequence

Power-On Self Test
  • As soon as you turn on a computer, its central processing unit (CPU) begins to carry out the programming instructions contained in the basic input/output system (BIOS). The BIOS, which is a type of firmware, contains the processor-dependent code that starts the computer regardless of the operating system installed. The first set of startup instructions is the power-on self test (POST). The POST is responsible for the following system and diagnostic functions:
    • Performs initial hardware checks, such as determining the amount of memory present
    • Verifies that the devices needed to start an operating system, such as a hard disk, are present
    • Retrieves system configuration settings from nonvolatile complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) memory, which is located on the motherboard
  • The contents of CMOS memory remain even after you shut down the computer. Examples of hardware settings stored in CMOS memory include boot order and Plug and Play information.
  • After the motherboard POST completes, add-on adapters that have their own firmware (for example, video and hard drive controllers) carry out internal diagnostic tests.

Initial Startup Phase


After the POST, the settings that are stored in CMOS memory, such as boot order, determine the devices that the computer can use to start an operating system. For example, if the boot order specifies the floppy disk as the first startup device and the hard disk as second (some firmware displays this order as “A, C”), the following scenarios might occur at startup:

The floppy disk drive contains a floppy disk

The BIOS searches the floppy disk drive for a bootable floppy disk. If one is present, the first sector (the floppy disk boot sector) loads into memory. If the floppy disk is not bootable, an error message similar to the following appears:
Non-system disk or disk error
Replace and press any key when ready
The computer displays the preceding message until you insert a bootable floppy disk or until you remove the floppy disk and restart the computer.

The floppy disk drive does not contain a floppy disk

If you restart the computer without a floppy disk, the computer reads the boot code instructions located on the master boot record (MBR). The MBR is the first sector of data on the startup hard disk and contains instructions (called boot code) and a table (called a partition table) that identify primary and extended partitions. The BIOS reads the MBR into memory and transfers control to the code in the MBR.

The computer then searches the partition table for the active partition. The first sector of the active partition contains boot code that enables the computer to do the following:
• Determine the file system used.
• Locate and start the operating system loader file, Ntldr.
If an active partition does not exist or if boot sector information is missing or corrupt, a message similar to any of the following might appear:
Invalid partition table
Error loading operating system
Missing operating system
BOOT: Couldn’t find NTLDR
NTLDR is missing
If an active partition is successfully located, the code in the boot sector locates and starts Ntldr and the BIOS releases control to it.

Boot Loader Phase

Ntldr loads startup files from the boot partition and then does the following:

Sets an x86-based processor to run in 32-bit flat memory mode

An x86-based computer first starts in real mode. In real mode, the processor disables certain features to allow compatibility with software designed to run on 8-bit and 16-bit processors. Ntldr then switches the processor to 32-bit mode, which allows access to large amounts of memory and enables Windows XP Professional to start.

Starts the file system

Ntldr contains the program code that Windows XP Professional needs to read and write to disks formatted by using the NTFS or file allocation table (FAT16 or FAT32) file systems.

Reads the Boot.ini file

Ntldr parses the Boot.ini file to determine the location of the operating system boot partition. For systems that use a single-boot configuration, Ntldr initiates the hardware-detection phase by starting Ntdetect.com. For multiple-boot configurations that include Windows XP Professional, Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, or MS-DOS, you receive a menu of operating system choices at startup. In addition, if the Recovery Console has been installed, the boot loader menu is displayed during startup with the Recovery Console as one of the available options.

If you choose Windows XP Professional, Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, or Windows NT 4.0, Ntldr proceeds with the hardware-detection phase. If you do not select Windows XP Professional, Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, or Windows NT 4.0, control is passed to the boot sector for the other operating system. For example, if you select Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, or MS-DOS, Ntldr passes control to Bootsect.dos by reading MBR code that Bootsect.dos contains. This action causes the MBR code in Bootsect.dos to execute as if the instructions were read from the disk.

Detects hardware and hardware profiles

Ntldr starts Ntdetect.com, a program that performs basic device detection. Ntldr then passes Boot.ini information, as well as hardware and software data in the registry, to Ntoskrnl.exe. Ntdetect.com detects hardware profile information (for example, docked and undocked configurations for portable computers) and also checks for information stored in Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) tables. ACPI-compliant firmware enables Windows XP Professional to detect device power management features and determine device resource requirements.

Detect and Configure Hardware Phase

After processing the Boot.ini file, Ntldr starts Ntdetect.com. Ntdetect.com collects information about installed hardware by using calls to system firmware routines. Ntdetect.com then passes this information back to Ntldr. Ntldr gathers the data received from Ntdetect.com and organizes the information into internal data structures. Ntldr then starts Ntoskrnl.exe and provides it with information obtained from Ntdetect.com.

Ntdetect.com collects the following type of hardware and device information:
• System firmware information, such as time and date
• Bus and adapter types
• Video adapters
• Keyboard
• Communication ports
• Disks
• Floppy disks
• Input devices (such as mouse devices)
• Parallel ports
• Devices installed on the Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) bus
Ntdetect.com plays a greater role for device enumeration in computers that are not ACPI compliant because in those computers, the firmware, not the operating system, determines the resources assigned to devices. For computers with ACPI firmware, Windows XP Professional assigns the hardware resources to use.

During this phase, Ntdetect.com searches for hardware profile information. Windows XP Professional creates a single default profile for desktop computers and creates two default profiles for portable computers. For portable computers, the operating system selects the appropriate profile based on the hardware state of the computer:
Desktop computer.
Profile 1
• Portable computer.
o Docked Profile
o Undocked Profile
Hardware profiles are especially useful for portable computers because the hardware state of these computers is not static. Drivers for devices not listed in a particular hardware profile are not loaded during startup.

Kernel Loading Phase

Ntldr is responsible for loading the Windows kernel (Ntoskrnl.exe) and the hardware abstraction layer (HAL) into memory. The Hal.dll file that your computer uses can vary. During installation, Windows XP Professional Setup copies one of several HAL files and renames the file Hal.dll. 

Together, the kernel and the HAL initialize a group of software components that are called the Windows executive. The Windows executive processes the configuration information stored in registry control sets, and starts services and drivers.

Control sets

Ntldr reads control set information from the HKEY_LOCAL_ MACHINE\SYSTEM registry key, which is created from information in the systemroot\System32\Config\System file, so that Ntldr can determine which device drivers need to be loaded during startup. Typically, several control sets exist, with the actual number depending on how often system configuration settings change.

The kernel uses the internal data structures provided by Ntldr to create the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE key, which contains the hardware data collected at system startup. The data includes information about various hardware components and system resources allocated to each device. To monitor the kernel load process, watch the Starting up progress indicator that appears during startup.

Logon Phase

The Windows subsystem starts Winlogon.exe, a system service that enables logging on and off. Winlogon.exe then does the following:
• Starts the Services subsystem (Services.exe), also known as the Service Control Manager (SCM).
• Starts the Local Security Authority (LSA) process (Lsass.exe).
• Parses the Ctrl+Alt+Del key combination at the Begin Logon prompt.
The Graphical Identification and Authentication (GINA) component collects the user name and password, and passes this information securely to the LSA for authentication. If the user supplied valid credentials, access is granted by using either the Kerberos V 5 authentication protocol or NTLM.

Winlogon initializes security and authentication components while the Service Control Manager initializes Auto-load services and drivers. After the user logs on, the following events occur:
• Control sets are updated.
The control set referenced by the LastKnownGood registry entry is updated with the contents in the Clone entry. Clone, which is a copy of the CurrentControlSet entry, is created each time you start your computer. When a user logs on, the LastKnownGood control set is updated with configuration information from the previous user session.
• Group Policy settings take effect.
Group Policy settings that apply to the user and computer take effect.
• Startup programs run.
Windows XP Professional starts logon scripts, startup programs, and services referenced in these registry subkeys and folder locations:

o HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Runonce
o HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\policies\Explorer\Run
o HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run
o HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\ Run
o HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run
o HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\RunOnce
o systemdrive\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\ Startup
o systemdrive\Documents and Settings\username\Start Menu\Programs\ Startup
Windows XP Professional startup is not complete until a user successfully logs on to the computer.

IE, WINDOWS SERVER BUGS IS LIKELY TO BE EXPLOITED SOON


microsoft-logo
Microsoft has released 13 updates that patch security holes in a wide range of its software offerings, including vulnerabilities rated critical in its Internet Explorer browser and Windows server operating systems.

The bugs in IE make it possible for attackers to remotely execute malicious code when an end user does nothing more than visit a booby-trapped website. Although there's no evidence the vulnerabilities are being exploited in the wild now, members of Microsoft's security team said there was a high likelihood reliable exploit code would be developed by real-world attackers in the next 30 days.

The vulnerabilities affect all supported versions of the Microsoft browser, including versions 8 and 9, which were rebuilt from scratch to minimize the damage that can be done when hackers identify vulnerabilities.

The second critical update covers all versions of Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008, including the most recent R2 iteration, which is regarded as one of Microsoft's most secure server operations systems ever. By setting up a malicious DNS server and getting a vulnerable system to query it from inside the victim's network, an attacker can take complete control of the underlying machine.

According to Microsoft's exploitability index for August, attackers aren't likely to exploit the DNS flaw in the next month.

The remaining 11 patches carry the lower-level ratings of important and moderate and affected products including Windows, Office, .Net, and Visual Studio. Vulnerable components include the Remote Desktop Web Access Login, Microsoft Chart Web Control, and the Report Viewer Web control. The vulnerabilities enable attacks involving information theft and and denial of service outages.

Roundups of this month's Patch Tuesday offerings from Microsoft and SANS are here and here. Commentary from Kaspersky Lab and Qualys is here and here.

WHICH IS THE MOST POPULAR ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE?


antivirus most popular
In an over-crowded antivirus software market, end and corporate users are often finding it difficult to differentiate between a value-added market proposition, next to the “me too” vendors of solutions. As in every other market segment, any scientific insight into the market share of various vendors offers an invaluable perspective into the market dynamics, what are customers purchasing, and most importantly, are they living in a world of ‘false feeling of security’.

Using a data set consisting of 120,000 data points, researchers from OPSWAT recently released an informative overview of the antivirus market, answering an important question - which is the most popular antivirus vendor?

According to their findings, that’s avast! Free Antivirus, followed by Microsoft Security Essentials and ESET NOD32 Antivirus.

Detailed market share statistics:

Avast - 17.4% worldwide market share
Microsoft - 13.2% worldwide market share
ESET - 11.1% worldwide market share
Symantec - 10.3% worldwide market share
AVG - 10.1% worldwide market share
Avira - 9.6% worldwide market share
Kaspersky - 6.7% worldwide market share
McAfee - 4.9% worldwide market share
Panda - 2.9% worldwide market share
Trend Micro - 2.8% worldwide market share
Other - 11.1% worldwide market share

Microsoft is the market leader in North America, followed by Symantec and AVG. Not surprisingly, the market leading avast! Free Antivirus is relying on the so called “freemium” business model, where the company grows and gains market share by offering a free alternative of their software, and earns revenue thanks to the successful conversion of free users to paid ones. Earlier this year, the company announced that it has 150 million active users worldwide, a clear indication of a working “freemium” business model.

What do you think? Is antivirus software still relevant in the age of Stuxnet, Duqu and Flame, the so called poster kids of the DIY targeted attack toolkits and weaponized malware releases? Do think free antivirus is offering a ‘false feeling of security’ compared to subscription based license models?

Solution of How To Install Windows Xp In Acer Laptops !!! Must Enter Who has ACER Laptops.....


Many Time We Are Unable to Install window xp In Our Laptops And Desktops... Here Is A Solution For That.....
Are you not able to install windows Xp in Acer Laptops, Acer Aspire Laptops, Acer Aspire One, Acer Travelmate ?
Getting Blue screen error saying ?

“A problem has been detected and windows has been sut down to prevent damage to your computer. if this is the first time you’ve seen this error screen restart your computer. If this screen appears again follow these steps:
check for viruses on your computer. remove any newly installed hard drives or hard drive controllers. check your hard drive to makes sure it is properly configured and terminated. run chkdisk /f to check for harddrive corruption, and then restart your computer.
technical information:
***stop: 0x0000007b (0xf7b6d528, 0xc0000034, 0×00000000, 0×00000000) “

Why this error occurs while installing Xp in Acer Laptop ?
As we know, Microsoft stopped Windows XP selling product to new computer purchasing in order to overcoming Windows Vista. On recent days, new computers or notebooks product which has the requirement hardware are now capable to use it.

One problem found that lots of newest computers or notebooks are equipped with a SATA interface hard drive that not all recognized by Windows XP installer. It would ask the SATA driver for the hardware and you must provide it before continue to installing the rest processes.

So here is the Solution,
1. Get your windows Xp disc.
2. Restart your notebook and faster press F2 Or You Booting Key when the ACER word come out…
