Don’t see the Open With option on the menu? Then choose Open. Vista jumps straight to the Open With window, shown in the next step.


2 Click Choose Default Program and select the program you want to open the file.The Open With window lists many more programs. If you spot your favorite program, you could double-click it to open your file immediately. But that wouldn’t prevent the same problem from recurring. The next step tackles that challenge.

If Windows doesn’t list your favorite program anywhere on its list, you have to look for it. Choose Default Programs, click the Browse button, and navigate to the folder containing the program you want. (Hint: Hover your mouse pointer over the folders to see some of the files and programs inside.)


3 Select the Always Use the Selected Program to Open This Kind of File check box and click OK.That box makes Windows return top-billing status to your selected program. For example, choosing Paint Shop Pro (and checking the Always box) tells Windows to summon Paint Shop Pro every time you double-click that type of file.]]> no_email@example.com (NB) http://www.nb-productions.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=113#113 http://www.nb-productions.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=112#112 1.Click Start.

By encrypting memory stick, the data contained on it is unreadable to anyone except those who have the correct password. In such situations, there are usually 2 options for you. One is hardware encryption while the other is software encryption.

Hardware Encryption
Hardware encryption uses special chips to encrypt and decrypt the data. Many big memory stick manufactures like IronKey and SanDisk provide secure memory sticks with embedded hardware encryption. These hardware-encrypted memory sticks have ability to automatically overwrite the contents of the drive if the wrong password is entered more than a certain number of times. They are one of the good choices to protect data on memory sticks, but they cost you significantly more. And if you want to buy some new secure memory sticks, your previous unencrypted memory sticks will become wasteful. In this case, you can try another security measure - encrypting memory stick with software encryption.

Software Encryption
Software-based encryption encrypts data stored on a memory stick and transparently decrypts the information when an authorized user requests it. USB encryption software usually allows you to add password to protect memory sticks. Without correct password, sensitive data is not viewable to anyone even he have the device in hand. It usually allows you to create a resizable encrypted area for your critical data. This can fully protect your confidential data from prying eyes. Meanwhile, it also enables you to encrypt the sensitive data while keeping some normal shareable on a memory stick. Some also provides the ability to hide your encrypted data.

Compared with hardware-encrypted memory stick, USB encryption software is cheaper while it can provide efficient protection for your sensitive data as secure memory stick does. And just with one USB encryption application, you can turn every unencrypted memory stick into encrypted memory stick. There are various USB encryption software options available for you, including open source and commercial ones. Usually paid software is more reliable. If you want to something that works well, you can try Wondershare USB Drive Encryption.

Wondershare USB Drive Encryption is a handy tool to exactly encrypt memory stick and other portable storage media. With US military-level 256-bit AES, it guarantees the highest level of file security for business and personal users. You are no longer need to worry that a lost USB device may leak your privacy/trade secrets and cause a disaster. It just takes 3 simple steps to extend protection to memory sticks. With correct password, you can view your encrypted files stored on memory sticks on any computer without the protection software installed. You can also hide encrypted data by deleting access to it.

Both hardware encryption and software encryption have their own advantages and disadvantages. Personally, I’d prefer USB encryption software to encrypt my memory sticks. You can select one to encrypt your memory sticks according to your actual needs.]]> no_email@example.com (NB) http://www.nb-productions.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=110#110 http://www.nb-productions.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=109#109

We tend to have lots of passwords at work, online and at various computers. So to save yourself from a locked out situation, we recommend that you create a password reset disk.


In this article, I will share with you a very simple method to create a Windows 7 Password Reset Pen Drive. So next time you are locked out of Windows 7 at the login screen, you can plug in this USB pen drive in your computer and reset the Windows Password.


To create a Windows 7 Password reset pen drive, I advice to have a small capacity pen drive which is cheap and you should keep it at a safe place, but not so safe that you forget where you kept it when you need it sometime in future.




Follow these simple steps:
Step 1. Insert a pen drive (backup any data if present on the pen drive and delete everything). Then go to Windows 7 Start Menu and type “create password reset disk” in the start menu search and launch the program “Create a password reset disk ” which will be highlighted in the search results.


Step 2. Just follow the simple Password reset Wizard as seen below, by selecting the pen drive from a list of drives it will show you. Note: If you have not inserted a Pen Drive before launching the utility, it will not work and will give an error. If the pen drive is in place, you will see Wizard something like the images below. It will also ask for your current password to create a password reset pen drive.


Step 3. Now you simple need to keep this drive at a safe place. You can use this in case you forget your Windows 7 Password sometime in future, just click forgotten password on the login screen and choose the option to Reset Password after inserting this pen drive into any of the working USB ports of your computer.


NOTE: Windows will honor only the most recent Password reset disk that you have created, so in case you happen to create more than one disk, only the one which is latest will work, all other old password reset disk will not be able to reset the Windows 7 Password.


If you have not created a reset disk and have forgotten your password, you can still reset the password using some utilities like Windows Password Recovery Tool. But these processes may cost you little money if you need to buy a software to do that. So to avoid any inconvenience later, we recommend that you create a password reset disk.

But is that really the case? Is privacy dead? For those of us who are active online, maintaining privacy can be a difficult task, but it's not impossible.

Here are nine tips for protecting your privacy on the internet...

Take advantage of privacy protection tools. There are plenty of ways to ward off all of the cookies and other common technologies that are used to track your every move online (for behavioral targeting, etc.). From dedicated programs to browser-based plugins, even the latest versions of Firefox and Internet Explorer offer 'private browsing' functionality that's easy to take advantage of.

Use different browsers. Depending on the nature and extent of your online activities, using different browsers may be a good way to help defend your privacy. For instance, you may want to use one browser for all of your social networking activities, but another browser for everything else you do online. This may be an especially valuable rule given the direction Facebook is going in.

Don't overshare. It should go without saying: everything you post online is, in effect, public. That's because you realistically have little to no ability to control what happens with the content and information you post. Given this, it's wise to avoid oversharing, and at a very minimum, everything you post online should only be posted after weighing the potential consequences against the potential value.

Think like an SEO. Everything you do online theoretically creates a trail of your activities. Sometimes the crumbs you leave on that trail reveal personal information, such as your name and location. When using online services, think like an SEO to evaluate whether or not your activities are likely to be visible on major search engines. For instance, does a particular website that includes member profiles display a made-up username or will everything you post to it be listed under your real name?

Be wary of social networking. While you may not want to avoid social networking altogether, which is the best approach for any person dedicated to protecting his or her privacy, being selective about the sites you use is important. Just as companies shouldn't sign up for every social media service under the sun, try to stick to those sites that you actually plan to use, and those sites whose privacy implications you understand.

Set up disposable and/or specific-purpose email addresses. Using one email address for everything you do online is convenient, but it can also create a privacy mess. Instead, consider setting up disposable emails when signing up for services you're not sure about. And give thought to setting up email addresses for specific purposes (eg. online shopping, email newsletters, etc.). When setting these email addresses up, you may even want to avoid providing accurate personal details (eg. your full name, true location, etc.).

Don't trust privacy policies. A privacy policy only tells you how personal information will be used under ideal or theoretical circumstances. But it says nothing about what's going to happen to it in real life. A rogue employee, a data breach or a change of ownership could render any website's privacy policy worthless. So instead of trusting a website based upon its privacy policy, base your trust on your trust of the person or company running it.

Don't give your personal information up so easily. Most online services, especially those that are free, want something in return. Usually, that something is personal information. Which is why it's so important to always compare the information you're required to give up to the information that a website operator realistically needs to provide you with a service in return. In some cases, you may find that you're being asked to give up certain kinds of personal information when there's no good reason why.

Choose the company you keep wisely. You can do everything right when it comes to your privacy, but if you happen to associate with people who are careless or downright voyeuristic, there's a good chance someone else will post information and content about you online. So it goes without saying that anyone concerned about his or her privacy online should make the effort to ensure that friends aren't a privacy liability.

Privacy may be difficult to maintain in an online world dominated by social networks, ad companies and other services that automatically collect massive amounts of data about their users. But by using available tools, staying vigilant and applying common sense, your privacy doesn't have to die every time you browse the web]]> no_email@example.com (NB) http://www.nb-productions.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=108#108 http://www.nb-productions.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=107#107 1.Click Start.

•Comics is actually three different apps rolled into one.

•It’s a fantastic way of reading comic books on a 3.5-inch touch screen.

•It’s also a comic book store with hundreds of individual comics from dozens of different publishers, including Arcana Comics, Devil’s Due, Digital Webbing, Red 5, Zenescope, and many others.

•It’s a great way to organize the comics you own on your iPhone, so you can find the one you want quickly and easily.

•Wolfgang’s Concert Vault is an app that connects you to the largest collection of concert recordings in the world. Popular concerts include The Who, Led Zeppelin, King Crimson, Neil Young, Pink Floyd, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Elvis Costello, and David Bowie. You can find concert recordings by hundreds of other artists, in addition to exclusive recordings you probably haven’t heard before and probably won’t hear elsewhere.

•Eliminate Pro, a first-person shooter game, offers two modes of play: offline practice games and multiplayer online games. Offline practice games, which pit you against computer-controlled (actually iPhone-controlled) robots, are challenging and a lot of fun.

The multiplayer online games let you compete against other living people in real time. These games earn you credits based on your performance, and you can use your credits to buy better weapons or armor or additional energy. When you run out of energy, you can either use some of your credits to buy more energy, wait a couple of hours for your free recharge, or purchase additional energy using real money (actually, iTunes Store credits).

•Just launch Google Mobile App and hold your iPhone next to your ear. When you hear the tone, say what you want to search for. The super-smart app uses your iPhone microphone to determine when you’re speaking, what you said, and when you’re finished. Finally, it translates your speech into a Google search query and performs the search.

Google Mobile App is available in English, Chinese, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, and at least half a dozen other languages.

When you type your query rather than speaking it, Google Mobile offers suggestions as you type.

•Instapaper Free enables you to scan a dozen or more Web sites for articles of interest. You can use the handy Instapaper Read Later bookmark to add the page to my unread items list in Instapaper.

Then, when you have down time, just launch Instapaper Free and catch up on your reading. You can read one or all of the articles even when there’s no network access whatsoever, such as on an airplane or in a boat or submarine.

•Lose It! lets you track the calories you swallow (eat) and burn (exercise). You're able to see at a glance how many calories you could still eat today without going over your dietary budget.

Being able to see that info with just a couple of taps may motivate you to stick to the plan much better than anything else you've tried.

•Now Playing has everything you need to help you decide on a movie, theatre, and show time. You can browse the movies playing in your area by title, release date, or rating. When you find a movie you’re interested in, with a single tap you can

•Watch its trailer

•Read reviews of it from a variety of print and online sources

•Have the theatres and show-time listings e-mailed to you

•View in Safari the Amazon, IMDb, Metacritic, Rotten Tomatoes, or Wikipedia Web page for the movie

If you tap the Theatres button at the bottom of the screen, you can see movie theatres (instead of movie titles) sorted by your choice of the theatre name or distance from your current location. Maps and driving directions are available for all theatres, or you can see an overview map that shows all nearby theatres at once.

•The reason Pandora Radio works so well is something called the Music Genome Project, which performs the Pandora magic behind the scenes. It consists of hundreds of musical attributes, or genes, that together capture the unique and magical essence of a song — its melody, harmony, rhythm, instrumentation, orchestration, arrangement, lyrics, singing, and vocal harmony.

•reQall remembers things for you with the least possible effort on your part. Say the words and tap the screen a couple of times, and your reminder magically shows up in your e-mail box a few minutes later.

reQall is awesome for jotting down quick thoughts at a red light or standing in the checkout line at the grocery store.

•Skype offers free voice calls and text messages to tens of millions of Skype users. There’s no charge for your Skype account or for the Skype software, which is available for the iPhone and iPod touch as well as Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, Windows Mobile, Nokia N800/810, and even the Sony PSP.

After you’ve set up your free account, you can make free Skype-to-Skype voice calls to any other Skype user anywhere on earth for free. You can also chat with other Skype users for free.

For a few dollars a month you can even get an inbound Skype phone number (known as a SkypeIn number), so anyone can call you on Skype from any landline or mobile phone anywhere in the world. Other low-cost Skype options include voicemail, SMS messaging, call forwarding, and caller ID.]]> no_email@example.com (NB) http://www.nb-productions.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=106#106 http://www.nb-productions.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=105#105 1.Click Start.
