Reset Windows Administrator Password
1st Method:
The first thing which you check if you forget login password. When we install Windows, it automatically creates an account “Administrator” and sets its password to blank. So if you have forget your user account password then try this:
Start system and when you see Windows Welcome screen / Login screen, press ++ keys twice and it’ll show Classic Login box. Now type “Administrator” (without quotes) in Username and leave Password field blank. Now press Enter and you should be able to log in Windows.
Now you can reset your account password from “Control Panel -> User Accounts“.
Same thing can be done using Safe Mode. In Safe Mode Windows will show this in-built Administrator account in Login screen.
3rd Method:
If the above mentioned trick doesnt work, then try following trick which is actually a loophole in Windows XP Setup and a big security hole:
A. Boot using Windows XP Setup CD and follow the instruction like Accepting EULA, etc.
B. When it asks to repair your existing Windows installation, accept it and press “R” to run the repair.
C. Setup will start repairing your Windows and will start copying files, etc.
D. After a few minutes setup will restart your system and when it restarts don’t press any key when it shows “Press any key to continue…” otherwise Setup will start from the beginning. Don’t press any key and setup will resume where it left.
E. Now it’ll start doing other tasks and will show a small progressbar with a few details in left side.
F. Look carefully at the details and when it shows “Installing devices“, press Shift+F10 keys in your keyboard.
G. It’ll open a Command Prompt window. Now type nusrmgr.cpl and press .
H. It’ll open the same “User Accounts” window which you see in Control Panel.
I. Now you can remove or reset any account password without any problem.

Add More Speed Dial Entries in Opera...
Opera's most handy feature is Speed Dial.
By default we can set 9 Speed Dial Entries which is enough for regular user but not for Power users like me and you!
Here are the Steps ::
1.) Close any instance of Opera.
2.) Open speeddial.ini file located in your Opera's profile directory. And Add this code to file :
[Size]
Rows=3
Columns=4
3.) Save File. Exit. And Start Opera.
This will give you a total of 12 Speed Dial entries i.e. 4 entries in each row. Adjust Row and Column according to your liking and size of your moniter and your moniter resolution.

Step 2 :
Configure this application to start your comp at 2:10 a.m , let it start the download manager/torrent client/ftp client from where you have to download the file at around 2:15 a.m
Then configure the download manager/torrent client to start downloading as soon as the application is started.

World’s Smallest Atom Sized Transistor Developed
UK scientists have innovated world’s smallest transistor which is comparable to the size of an atom and can well be considered as the building block of the electronic devices in future. The newly developed technological wonder is just one atom thin and 10 atoms wide and is made from super material Graphene a better conductor than Silicon which can increase the mobility of electrons 10 times of that in silicon thus making it a natural choice for semi-conductors of the future.
Research leader Dr Novoselov said graphene was a “wonderful conductor”, making it a perfect material for chip applications. “It is already superior to silicon by an order of magnitude and comparable to the best samples of other materials. We believe we can increase this mobility of electron flow 10-fold.”

Turbo C For Vista
NOTE -YOU SHOULD HAVE TURBO C++ ALREADY INSTALLED ON YOUR PC
Now U can run Turbo C++ 3.0 on Windows XP 64 bit , Vista 32 bit and 64 bit OS (in full screen)
Install the software DOSBox ver 0.72 (Freeware) from the link below (Direct Link)
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/dosbox/DOSBox0.72-win32-installer.exe?download
Before going to the details u have to create a folder (any name will do). Here we name it as Turbo
Copy the TC into the Turbo folder
Run the DOSBox 0.72 from the icon located on the desktop or from the location of the installation folder
Then u are presented with two screens which look like the command prompt in Windows
Now u are presented with two screens. One with a Z prompt. U can ignore the other screen.
There type the following commands at the command prompt [Z]:
Mount [Type in any alphabet that u wish except z] [Type the source of the turbo C] press enter
For example (Type in the following commands after the Z prompt):
Z: mount d c:\Turbo\ [The folder TC is present inside the folder Turbo]
* Now u should get a message which says: Drive D is mounted as a local directory c:\Turbo\ ***
Z: cd TC [The contents inside the folder Turbo gets mounted as a virtual drive (Here D drive)
Z: cd Bin
Z: TC or Tc.exe [This presents u the Turbo C++3.0 screen]
On the Turbo C++ goto OptionsàDirectoriesàChange the source of TC to the source directory [D]
Important: In order to RUN the program use the mouse instead of your keyboard
In order to get the full screen use the key combination of Alt and Enter
When u exit from the DosBox [precisely when u unmount the virtual drive where Turbo C++ 3.0 has been mounted] all the files u have saved or made changes in Turbo C++ 3.0 will be copied into the source directory(The directory which contains TC folder)
It is a good idea to backup your files in the source directory prior to running DOSBox 0.72
For additional help go through the readme file located in the installation folder or look on the website of the DOSBox forum.
The above procedure has been successfully implemented on Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit
Now U can run Turbo C++ 3.0 on Windows XP 64 bit , Vista 32 bit and 64 bit OS (in full screen)

5. Select your modem, and click properties
6. Click on the Advanced tab
7. Then you will see a box that says advanced settings. - And under it a TextBox that has "Extra initialization commands" in it.
8. In the TextBox put &AX&FX just how you see it in this text.
9. Click ok to close that box
10. Click ok again. NOTE: If &AX&FX does not work, try AT&FX
I would also recommend u to use "NetScream" - a tool that optimizes your modem connection.Your internet connection can be optimized up to 200% or higher by using NetScream. NetScream also makes your dial-up connection more stable and less resistant to hang-up’s & disconnects. This means you can download and surf the internet faster then ever before. NetScream works on many 14.4/28.8/33.6/56 kb, cable and dsl modems. No installation or modification needs to be made to your hardware; NetScream does all the complicated settings for you instantly.

USB to go Wireless? , Intel develops Certified Wireless Usb
From intel
Universal Serial Bus, or USB, is the most successful interconnect in computing history. Originally released in 1995 at 12 megabits per second (Mbps), USB today operates at 480 Mbps and can be found in billions of PC, CE, and mobile devices. In addition to high performance and ubiquity, USB enjoys strong consumer brand recognition and a reputation for ease-of-use.
Its a fact for all of the computer users, even the mobile users know of it even if they dont have a computer, USB is here to stay, people are selling USB powered heaters and chillers. Now the bad part, yes we all also do have a mess of wires at the back of our Computers, its a fact, we all hate it but we cant just live without USB. But thanks to Intel we can have a solution to this problem in exchange for a smaller problem. Wireless USB is here to stay.
How ?
A Ultra-Wideband Radio will enable the Wireless USB to provide speeds of 480Mb/s at the range of Three meters and a speed of 110Mb/s at a range of Ten meters. Spectrum USed will be from 3.1 to 10.5 GHz at a very low power.
Only one problem or annoyance
You wont be able to enjoy the usb powered devices as there is no wire and hence no power can be supplied to the device. Either you have to use another wire to power up the device or you have to use a rechargeable device. Looks like you cant have a total uncluttered desktop yet.
More Details are available on:
