How to Choose a Backup Storage Device
How to Choose a Backup Storage Device
Time was, you could back up everything on your computer with floppy disks. Today, when one sound or graphics file could well be larger than a disk, it would be difficult to back up even your documents on floppies, let alone your applications. Luckily, there are better options, including Zip disks, CD writers, tape drives, and external hard disks. You can also compress your backed-up files so they take up less space.
Instructions
* STEP 1: Determine the quantity and approximate file sizes you will be backing up.
* STEP 2: Figure out the quantity and file sizes of any documents or applications you want to archive permanently to a backup device or removable media.
* STEP 3: Plan for that amount to grow in the future.
* STEP 4: Figure your budget for a backup storage device and removable media to use with it.
* STEP 5: Consider if you plan to archive photographs or scanned files, need portability of media or the drive itself, wish to record music for playback on other equipment, or need ease of use. Weigh these factors along with your need to back up files.
* STEP 6: Figure the cost per MB of media for each drive you are considering. Zip drives themselves are cheap, but the disks are not.
* STEP 7: Buy a 100MB Zip drive if you need limited storage capability (less than 1 GB). An external parallel-port or USB Zip drive provides the most versatility and portability. Buy a 250MB Zip drive if your storage needs are moderate (a few GB).
* STEP 8: Buy an internal Zip drive if you will only use the drive for backup and you can install it yourself (installation fees add up).
* STEP 9: Buy a CD-RW drive if your storage needs are moderate and you will regularly back up more than 500 MB of data.
* STEP 10: Buy a Jaz drive or tape backup drive if you will be backing up large amounts of data regularly.
* STEP 11: Buy an external hard disk if you need a lot of space, won't be keeping old backups, and you don't need portability.
Tips & Warnings
* Consider the capacity you need per disk. Buy a device that will let you complete your backup on as few disks as possible.
* You can compress files so that they take up less space on your backup device. Some backup utilities have automatic compression options, or you can investigate compression software, such as WinZip (Windows) or StuffIt (Macintosh).

winchat
winchat
There is an application in XP that allows networked users to to communicate with each other. It is a very simple program located in the Windows System32 directory. A search for "winchat"
will also bring it up. This program can be very usefull to users that work in large office complexes and need to deliver a message to another individual quickly and efficiently. This application also has a real time chat screen, so you can see the other person typing. I have tested this program on 2 computers running XP Pro, not XP Home.
1 start, search, "winchat" (or find in Windows, System 32 directory)
2 right click and select send to desktop (for easy opening)
3 run the program
4 choose dial button at the top
5 choose the computer of the person on the network who you wish to talk to.
6 both users must agree to connect to each other to talk.

Tricking WinXP to use larger then 32GB FAT32 Partitions
Tricking WinXP to use larger then 32GB FAT32 Partitions
I have found a way to trick WinXP into using Partitions bigger then 32GB. I have been using a 60GB Fat32 partition on WinXP for over 4 months now and I haven't had a single problem. This is how you do it.
1 get a Win98 boot disk
2 boot from boot disk and run Fdisk
3 partition the drive to what size you want up to 120GB
4 reboot the computer off of the Win98 boot disk
5 format the drive
6 boot the computer off of the WinXP CD
7 proceed to install the WinXP.
8 When WinXP ask you what partition to install to choose the disk you just formated it will give you an several option dealing with NTFS don't pay them any mind and choose the last option which is to install WinXP to current drive without making any changes. WinXp will proceed to install normally and you will have WinXP installed to a fully functional FAT32 Partition greater then 32GB. WinXP can use larger then 32GB partitions M$ intentionally limited the Fdisk portion WinXP to push people to the Realm of NTFS.

Six Steps to search engine optimization
1)Understanding the Scope of the Project
2)Initial Analysis and Reports
3)Building an Initial Strategy to define the Scope
4)On-site Optimizing
5)Make sure gradual increase in the BLs
6) Monitoring and Tweaking
Understanding the Scope of the Project:
Collect the answers for the following questions:
1. What is the overall motivation for optimizing this site, the time-frame and the budget?
2. The site history: Launch + Hosting + DNS changes - if any - + Past SEO efforts - if any - + web stats for a certain period of time.
3. Suggestions on target volume/visitors, target SEs, List of Competitors and Keywords. Activities happening in site (e-marketing + online ads/email campaigns etc. + link building campaigns + local ads + newspaper ads + online reputation - awards/organizer/roles in the industry)
4. Available resources (content pages/content writers + articles + newsletters/press releases, Designers/Designs).
Initial Analysis and Reports:
Create an Initial Report on the existing site, describing, where it stands currently, what all are the strength and weakness. Where it includes technical Details + Initial KW analysis + Initial Competitors Analysis + Initial Site Analysis + Web site Details Check List + Page Element Details + Initial BackLink Analysis.
Building an Initial Strategy to define the Scope:
Then (for an existing site) do a thorough study on Web Stats and do a detailed KW analysis (if required) | finalizing the KWs (Primary and Secondary). After an inter-team discussions with Designers/developers + Content Writers + E-Marketing and other related – if any- build an Initial Strategy report, defining the scope. According to the Scope defined, divide the tasks per time and set the benchmarks.
On-site Optimizing:
This step involves the actual optimization of web pages; the pages will be optimized with regards to tags, link structures, images, body text, and other visible and invisible parts. Regards to the technology it used, fixing the technical bugs in the Internal Linking, page elements and creating supporting components like sitemap, footer links, RSS feeds etc. If required adding CSS and re-define the components and make sure the use of suggested elements like headings, bold etc. These steps will be defined in the Project Scope and completed according to the time line we fixed.
Make sure gradual increase in the BLs:
I did lot of Reciprocal Link campaigns in the year of 2003-04 and after that, frankly, my experience not much than normal directory submissions and tactics to build one-way links. I do try to find out other ways to get one-way links more through other tactics like RSS feeds and Press releases. Directing the e-marketing team/content-writers to build the content-rich pages and how to distribute to the Web, including press releases and RSS feeds, making sure the SEO benefits out from that. Analysis on competitors BLs and developed some relevant links from the sites which are links to them is a proven method of building links too. But there was no time based Link-Building I involved, since it’s too time consuming and less return on the time investing there.
Monitoring and Tweaking:
This mainly contains web analytics and SERP monitoring, continuous fine-tuning of the website based on traffic trends and ranking trends. There will be some changes in the Strategies, keeping within the scope, to make sure moving in the right path.

Use remote desktop to connect to your PC from anywhere
Use remote desktop to connect to your PC from anywhere
Windows XP Professional includes Microsoft's remote desktop software, which can be used to access your computer from anywhere you have Internet access. Not only can you access your system, you can actually see and manipulate the desktop environment just as if you were seated in front of the system.
Let's look at how to do this: In order to use Remote Desktop to connect to your home computer remotely, it must first be enabled. Right click on 'my computer' then select the 'remote' tab, and check the box entitled 'allow computers to connect remotely to this computer.'
Note: please ensure that all of your user accounts are using proper passwords before you enable this option, otherwise anyone with internet access and a Windows system can theoretically access and control your computer.
Using the 'select remote users' button, you can select user accounts that have access to the computer remotely. All members of the administrators group (that is, the built in 'administrator' account and any users who were added during the install process) are allowed remote access automatically.
Now you can install Remote Desktop Web Connection if you wish. This allows client computers to access the remote desktop through Internet explorer, eliminating the need to download and install the (freely available from Microsoft) 'Remote desktop client' program.
Insert the Windows XP Professional CD and select 'install additional windows components. Highlight 'internet information services (IIS)' and click 'details.' Highlight 'world wide web services' and click 'details.' Now put a check beside 'Remote desktop web connection,' hit 'ok' twice and then 'next' to install.
Now to connect to the remote desktop from any client computer with Internet Explorer 4 or better installed, simply type 'http://(IP address of your home computer)/tsweb' to bring up the web connect dialog screen.

Hide Drives and Partitions
Hide Drives and Partitions
Do you have data on a partition or hard drive that you don't want tampered with or easily accessible to other users? Well, you can hide any drive/partition in Windows XP, NT, and 2000. That means that they won't show up in Explorer or My Computer.
If you want access to that drive from your user account you should create a desktop shortcut before proceeding. Once hidden, you can still access by typing the drive letter and a colon in Start/Runfor example, "D:" will bring up a folder of the contents on your D drive.
The easiest way with Win XP is to use the TweakUI power toy from Microsoft. Go to Start/Run and type in "tweakui" (without the quotes).
Go to My Computer/Drives and uncheck the drive/partition(s) you want hidden. Click "Apply" or "OK" when finished.
If you have XP but not Tweak UI you can download it here
CODE
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
For Win NT, 2000, and XP you can use the following Registry edit:
*Be sure to back up the Registry before proceeding
Open the Registry Editor by going to Start/Run and typing in "regedit" (without the quotes). Find your way to...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies
Click on "Explorer".
Double-click the "NoDrives" key in the right column. If you don't find a "NoDrives" registry key, just right-click in the right pane and choose "New/DWORD Value" then name the key "NoDrives".
You'll see a value like "0000 00 00 00 00". This is where the fun starts. The four sets of double zeros (after the "0000") are where you'll enter the values for the drive/partitions. Now, stay with me on thisit's not as complicated as it sounds:
The first column is for drives A-H, the second for I-P, the third for Q-X, and the fourth for Y-Z.
The values for each drive are as follows:
1 - A I Q Y
2 - B J R Z
4 - C K S
8 - D L T
16 - E M U
32 - F N V
64 - G O W
80 - H P X
So, let's say you want to hide drive D. In the first column you would put "08". For drive K you would put "04" in the second column.
But what if you want to hide more than one drive in a column? Simply add the values together: D+E = 8+16 = 24. So in the first column you would put "24".
Still baffled? If you have XP then go get TweakUI and save yourself the math.
Whichever method you use, you can rest easy knowing that the files on that drive or partition are less accessible to other users.
