Delete An "Undeletable" File

2014-05-17T18:11:00.002+05:30

Delete An Undeletable File

Open a Command Prompt window and leave it open.

Close all open programs.
Click Start, Run and enter TASKMGR.EXE
Go to the Processes tab and End Process on Explorer.exe.

At the command prompt type DEL where is the file you wish to delete.
Go back to Task Manager, click File, New Task and enter EXPLORER.EXE to restart the GUI shell.
Close Task Manager.

Or you can try this

Open Notepad.exe

Click File>Save As..>locate the folder where your undeletable file is
Choose 'All files' from the file type box
click once on the file you wanna delete so its name appears in the 'filename' box put a " at the start and end of the filename (the filename should have the extension of the undeletable file so it will overwrite it)
click save, It should ask u to overwrite the existing file, choose yes and u can delete it as normal

Here's a manual way of doing it

1. Start

2. Run

3. Type: command

4. To move into a directory type: cd c:\*** (The stars stand for your folder)

5. If you cannot access the folder because it has spaces for example Program Files or Kazaa Lite folder you have to do the following. instead of typing in the full folder name only take the first 6 letters then put a ~ and then 1 without spaces. Example: cd c:\progra~1\kazaal~1

6. Once your in the folder the non-deletable file it in type in dir - a list will come up with everything inside.

7. Now to delete the file type in del ***.bmp, txt, jpg, avi, etc... And if the file name has spaces you would use the special 1st 6 letters followed by a ~ and a 1 rule. Example: if your file name was bad file.bmp you would type once in the specific folder thorugh command, del badfil~1.bmp and your file should be gone. Make sure to type in the correct extension.

How To Install Linux Mint 16 In Dual Boot With Windows And Their Solutions

2014-05-03T13:23:00.000+05:30

Guide To Install Linux Mint 16 In Dual Boot With Windows

Last week I switched from Ubuntu 13.10 to Linux Mint 16 (which is also based on Ubuntu 13.10). For the sake of experimenting, I have been switching between Linux distributions quite frequently in recent times. I always dual boot Linux with Windows. As I leaned more towards Linux, I started using Windows less and less. In fact, now I hardly use it. But I just kept it as it is sort of back up if I screw up my system while playing with Linux. Dual booting Linux with Windows is always suggestible for the beginners. And in this article, I’ll show you how to install Linux Mint in dual boot with Windows. Once you have installed it, you can also check out things to do after installing Linux Mint 16.

Before we proceed to see the procedure to dual boot Linux Mint 16 with Windows, let me give you some details. First, I had Windows 7 installed with 3 partitions on it. Later I installed Linux on it in dual boot mode. I changed the partition and kept around 100 GB of total 320 GB for Linux installation. In the course of time, I upgraded to Windows 8 and subsequently to Windows 8.1. I never had to face the problem of Windows 8's secure boot thingy. It is just to clarify that this process does not show you how to deal with UEFI.

Install Linux Mint 16 in dual boot with Windows 8:

Follow the steps below to install Linux Mint in dual boot with Windows:

Step 1: Create a live USB or disk

Download and create a live USB or DVD. If you are using Windows, you can use a live usb creator tool. In Ubuntu, you can use Startup Disk Creator (if it works).

Step 2: Boot in to live USB

Plug the live USB or disk in to the computer and restart the computer. While booting the computer press F10 or F12 function key (defers from computer to computer) to go to the boot menu. Now, choose the option to boot from USB or Removable Media.

Step 3: Start the installation

It takes some time to boot from the live USB or disk. Have some patience. Once it boots in to live disk, you’ll be provided to Try Linux Mint or Install Linux Mint. Even if you choose to try it, you can find the install option on the desktop:

In next few screens, you’ll be asked to choose the language of the operating system. It will then do some checks on available space, battery and Internet connection.

Step 4: Prepare the partition

This is the most important part of the whole installation. Where to install Linux Mint? As mentioned before, I prefer separate partitions for Windows and Linux. Windows is already installed here, we’ll prepare a new partition for Linux Mint. In the Installation Type window, choose Something Else:

Now, I have 3 NTFS and some ext4 partitions. If you don’t have ext4 partition, don’t worry, we don’t need that. As you can see in the picture below, one of the NTFS partition consists of Windows installation. This should be untouched if you want to keep your Windows installation safe.

I hope you have more than one NTFS (or FAT 32) partitions (i.e. Drives in Windows term) on your hard disk, with one of them consisting of Windows installation (usually C drive). What you need to do here is to delete a NTFS or existing ext4 partition and create some free space. This will delete all the data in that partition and this is why I asked you to verify if you have Windows installed in a different partition.

Click on the desired partition and press the - to delete the partition.

Step 5: Create root, swap and home

Once you created free space on your hard drive, its time to install Linux Mint on it. Now, there are several ways to do it. But here, I’ll show you my favorite way and that is to have a Root, a Swap and a Home.

Create a root partition first. Choose the free space available and click on +.

Here, choose the size of root (10 GB is enough but I chose to have 20 here), choose ext4 file system, and mount point as / (i.e. root):

Now, next is to create swap partition. It is advised by many that Swap should be double of your RAM. You can choose the swap size accordingly.

The next step is to create Home. Try to allocate the maximum size to Home because this is where you’ll be downloading and keeping the files.

Once you have created Root, Swap and Home partitions, click on Install Now button.

Step 6: Follow the trivial instructions

Technically, you have crossed the main hurdle if you react till this point successfully. Now you will be taken through a number of screens to select options like keyboard layout, login credentials etc. You don’t need to be a genius to figure out what to do here afterwards. I have attached screenshots for reference purpose here.

Once the installation is over, you will be presented with the option to keep trying live version or to restart the system.

And that would be it. On next boot, you will see the option of Linux Mint on the grub screen. And thus you can enjoy the beautiful and beginner friendly Linux distribution. I hope you found this guide to Linux Mint 16 dual boot with Windows helpful.

If you found this type of issues in Linux

Cannot boot into Linux Mint or Ubuntu after installing (dual-boot Windows)
Use EasyBCD click here to download torrent file

Bootloader tweaking utility EasyBCD makes dual booting between Windows, Linux, and even OS X an easy task, and the latest version updates with support for Windows 7 and newer Ubuntu versions with grub2.

You can see the list of booting options if u cannot find Linux in your partition option add it manually

Go to option Add New Entry click on Linux/BSD tab and change the drive to your Linux installation click Add Entry & follow the below instructions

After adding entry you can see the option in Edit Boot Menu Windows 7 & Linux and click on Save Settings and reboot.

If you found this type of issues in Windows

Method 1:

If you cannot Boot in to Windows after installing Linux Mint and you face this type of issue

Disk Failure

Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart

Just insert your windows 7 DVD or USB then press shift + F10 it will open the command prompt

Simply type this commands:

bootrec /fixmbr

bootrec /fixboot

and finally you can boot in to Windows as well as Linux Mint

Method 2:

Another method to solve Windows Boot loader issue is Insert USB or DVD of Windows 7

Click Repair your computer

Go to the command prompt and follow the commands below.

bootrec.exe /FixMbr

If successful, you should be greeted with the message The operation completed successfully. That's it! Your Master Boot Record has been repaired.

While the above command does fix the MBR, and sometimes that is enough, there still might be an error with the system partition's boot sector and Boot Configuration Data (BCD). This might occur if you have tried to install another operating system alongside Windows 7, such as Windows XP. To write a new boot sector, try the following command:

bootrec.exe /FixBoot

If you are still faced with your Windows 7 installation not being detected during start up, or if you wish to include more than one operating system choice to your system's boot list, you can try the following command to rebuild your BCD:

bootrec.exe /RebuildBcd

The above command will scan all your disks for other operating systems compatible with Windows 7 and allow you to add them to your system's boot list.

Finally you got this boot screen after reboot.

Now you have Installed Dual Boot with Windows cheers...

How To Mount iPhone Or iPad With iOS 7 In Ubuntu 13.10/Linux Mint 16

2014-05-02T10:27:00.003+05:30

How To Mount iPhone Or iPad With iOS 7 In Ubuntu 13.10/Linux Mint 16:

I got an iPhone 5 with iOS 7 couple of months back. I tried to connect iPhone or iPad with Linux (Ubuntu and Linux Mint), it was recognized and it asked me whether I “trust this computer”?

And I said “I do” and tapped on Trust. After a flash of seconds it asked me again if I “trust this computer”? And I tapped Trust again. And then it asked the same question, I felt like it got trapped in a while(true) loop. While at Ubuntu, it showed me that my iPhone was locked and I could not access any files on it:

After some searching I came to know that this infinite loop of trust this computer with iOS 7 in Linux is a known bug.

This actually is a new security feature in iOS 7 which aims to tackle the issue of fake iPhone chargers. So, what is the solution here? Is there a way to fix “trust this computer” with iOS 7 in Linux? libimobiledevice library is is expected to fix this issue in version 1.1.6 but there is no expected availability date for the stable version.

Don’t be disheartened, you can still use the unstable version of libimobiledevice and connect your iPhone to Ubuntu easily. Let me show you how can you mount iPhone in Ubuntu 13.10 or Linux Mint 16 without getting in the pitfall of “trust this computer”.

Fix trust this computer issue with iOS 7 in Ubuntu 12.04:

If you are using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS be it 32 bit or 64 bit or Linux Mint 13 Maya, you can add the following PPA by Ingo Haschler:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ingo/ios7support

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

This will upgrade the libimobiledevice (already installed on the system) to unstable version 1.6. Reboot your computer and try to connect iPhone with Ubuntu again. It should work now.

Note:

If you get “lock down error”, try using the following commands:

sudo mkdir /var/lib/lockdown

sudo chmod 777 /var/lib/lockdown

Fix trust this computer issue with iOS 7 in Ubuntu 13.10:

For seasoned Linux users, you can get the source code from the GitHub and compile it. For Ubuntu 13.10 64 bit and Linux Mint 16 64 bit users, there is a Debian package compiled for you by Iuri Diniz. You can download and install this .deb package to easily mount iPhone on Ubuntu 13.10 64 bit.

libimobiledevice 1.6 for Ubuntu 13.10 & Linux Mint 16 64 bit

Double click on the downloaded .deb file to install it. Note that Ubuntu and Linux Mint comes with libimobiledevice library pre-installed in it. This is why you would see an option of upgrading the libimobiledevice rather than installing it.

Once installed, your iPhone or iPad should be mounted without any troubles. Here is a screenshot of my iPhone mounted in Ubuntu 13.10.

I could access the files, transfer the files from Ubuntu to iPhone. It was recognized by Rythembox for synchronizing also. It is not the first time I had issues with connecting my mobile device with Ubuntu.

I hope this quick tutorial solves the infinite loop of ‘trust this computer’ problem with iPhone and Ubuntu for you as well. In related problems, sometimes, Apple device don’t charge or charge slowly via USB, you can try iPad Charge to fix charging issues with Apple devices in Linux.

Burn .bin file Without A .cue file

2014-04-29T18:01:00.000+05:30

To Burn A Bin File, You Will Need An Appropriate Cue File.

You do exactly the same as for iso files, but when you click on “burn image,” you don’t browse to the bin itself, but instead to the cue file, and you open that one.

When the writer starts to burn, it will automatically search for the bin file and start burning it. In fact, the cue file tells the burning program where it can find the bin file that is attached to it. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you use the right cue file when you burn a bin.

i.e : Both cue and bin files that are attached to each other must be located in the same folder, and every bin file has it’s own cue file.

Normally, when you download a bin file, you can download the appropriate cue file as well. If you do not have the cue file (or feel bold) you can make the cue file yourself, which is really easy to do:

a. Open notepad

b. Copy the folowing text into notepad:

FILE“nameofimage“BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00

Where nameofimage.bin is the name of the bin file you want to burn.

c. The rest is easy: just save the notepad text with the name of the bin, but with the cue extension.

d. The file should be saved in the same folder as its appropriate bin file and should be something like myfile.cue

Or you can use Alcohol 120% to burn directly from the bin file

10 Fast and Free Security Enhancements

2014-04-23T12:50:00.004+05:30

10 Fast and Free Security Enhancements

Before you spend a time on security, there are many precautions you can take that will protect you against the most common threats.

1. Check Windows Update and Office Update regularly (http://office.microsoft.com/productupdates); have your Office CD ready. Windows Me, 2000, and XP users can configure automatic updates. Click on the Automatic Updates tab in the System control panel and choose the appropriate options.

2. Install a personal firewall. Both SyGate (www.sygate.com) and ZoneAlarm (www.zonelabs.com) offer free versions.

3. Install a free spyware blocker. Our Editors' Choice ("Spyware," April 22) was SpyBot Search & Destroy (http://security.kolla.de). SpyBot is also paranoid and ruthless in hunting out tracking cookies.

4. Block pop-up spam messages in Windows NT, 2000, or XP by disabling the Windows Messenger service (this is unrelated to the instant messaging program).
Open Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Services and you'll see Messenger. Right-click and go to Properties. Set Start-up Type to Disabled and press the Stop button. Bye-bye, spam pop-ups! Any good firewall will also stop them.

5. Use strong passwords and change them periodically. Passwords should have at least seven characters; use letters and numbers and have at least one symbol. A decent example would be f8izKro@l. This will make it much harder for anyone to gain access to your accounts.

6. If you're using Outlook or Outlook Express, use the current version or one with the Outlook Security Update installed. The update and current versions patch numerous vulnerabilities.

7. Buy antivirus software and keep it up to date. If you're not willing to pay, try Grisoft AVG Free Edition (Grisoft Inc., www.grisoft.com). And doublecheck your AV with the free, online-only scanners available at www.pandasoftware.com/activescan and http://housecall.trendmicro.com.

8. If you have a wireless network, turn on the security features: Use MAC filtering, turn off SSID broadcast, and even use WEP with the biggest key you can get. For more, check out our wireless section or see the expanded coverage in Your Unwired World in our next issue.

9. Join a respectable e-mail security list, such as the one found at our own Security Supersite at http://security.ziffdavis.com, so that you learn about emerging threats quickly and can take proper precautions.

10. Be skeptical of things on the Internet. Don't assume that e-mail "From:" a particular person is actually from that person until you have further reason to believe it's that person. Don't assume that an attachment is what it says it is. Don't give out your password to anyone, even if that person claims to be from "support."

Debug: Learn how to crack windows, programs ect manually

Debug is a program that comes with modern versions of DOS (I do not know when I started shipping out with DOS). Anyway, all Windows users should have it already.

It's a great tool for debuging programs, unassembling and cracking, and reading "hidden" memory areas like the boot sector, and much more.

The following was copied from an assembly tutorial who's author we cannot credit, because we have no idea who he is.

Get into DOS and type "debug", you will get a prompt like this:
-

now type "?", you should get the following response:
assemble A [address]
compare C range address
dump D [range]
enter E address [list]
fill F range list
go G [=address] [addresses]
hex H value1 value2
input I port
load L [address] [drive] [firstsector] [number]
move M range address
name N [pathname] [arglist]
output O port byte
proceed P [=address] [number]
quit Q
register R [register]
search S range list
trace T [=address] [value]
unassemble U [range]
write W [address] [drive] [firstsector] [number]
allocate expanded memory XA [#pages]
deallocate expanded memory XD [handle]
map expanded memory pages XM [Lpage] [Ppage] [handle]
display expanded memory status XS

Lets go through each of these commands:

Assemble:

-a
107A:0100

At this point you can start assembling some programs, just like using a assembler. However the debug assembler is very limited as you will probably notice. Lets try to enter a simple program:

-a
107A:0100 MOV AH,02
107A:0102 MOV DL,41
107A:0104 INT 21
107A:0106 INT 20
-g
A

Program terminated normally

That's the same program we did at the end of the previous chapter. Notice how you run the program you just entered with "g", and also notice how the set-up part is not there? That's because debug is just too limited to support that.
Another thing you can do with assemble is specify the address at which you want to start, by default this is 0100 since that's where all .COM files start.
Compare:

Compare takes 2 block of memory and displays them side by side, byte for byte. Lets do an example. Quite out of debug if you haven't already using "q". Now type "debug c:\command.com"

-c 0100 l 8 0200
10A3:0100 7A 06 10A3:0200

This command compared offset 0100 with 0200 for a length of 8 bytes. Debug responded with the location that was DIFFERENT. If 2 locations were the same, debug would just omit them, if all are the same debug would simply return to the prompt without any response.
Dump:

Dump will dump a specified memory segment. To test it, code that assembly program again:

C:\>debug
-a
107A:0100 MOV AH,02
107A:0102 MOV DL,41
107A:0104 INT 21
107A:0106 INT 20
-d 0100 l 8
107A:0100 B4 02 B2 41 CD 21 CD 20
...A.!.

The "B4 02 B2 41 CD 21 CD 20" is the program you just made in machine language.

B4 02 = MOV AH,02
B2 41 = MOV DL,41
CD 21 = INT 21
CD 20 = INT 20

The "...A.!." part is your program in ASCII. The "." represent non-printable characters. Notice the A in there.
Enter:

This is one of the hard commands. With it you can enter/change certain memory areas. Lets change our program so that it prints a B instead of an A.
-e 0103 <-- 0103="" at="" edit="" i="" program="" segment="">
107A:0103 41.42 <-- 41="" 42="" change="" i="" to="">
-g
B

Program terminated normally
-

Wasn't that amazing?Fill:

This command is fairly useless, but who knows....
It fills the specified amount of memory with the specified data. Lets for example clear out all memory from segment 0100 to 0108, which happens to be our program.
-f 0100 l 8 0 <-- 0100="" 0="" 8="" a="" bytes="" file="" for="" i="" length="" of="" offset="" with="">
-d 0100 l 8 <-- i="" it="" that="" verify="" worked="">
107A:0100 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 .......
Yep, it worked.
Go:

So far we used go (g) to start the program we just created. But Go can be used for much more. For example, lets say we want to execute a program at 107B:0100:
-r CS <-- 107b="" cs="" i="" point="" register="" set="" the="" to="">
CS 107A
:107B
-g =100

You can also set breakpoints.
-a <-- enter="" font="" have="" original="" our="" program="" so="" something="" we="">
107A:0100 MOV AH,02 to work with
107A:0102 MOV DL,41
107A:0104 INT 21
107A:0106 INT 20
-g 102 <-- 107a:0102="" a="" at="" break="" font="" point="" set="" up="">

At this point the program will stop, display all registers and the current instruction.
Hex:

This can be very useful. It subtracts and adds two hexadecimal values:
-h 2 1
0003 0001 <-- -="" 1="" 1h="1h</i" 2h="" 3h="" and="">

This is very useful for calculating a programs length, as you will see later.
Input:

This is one of the more advanced commands, and I decided not to talk about it too much for now. It will read a byte of data from any of your computers I/O ports (keyboard, mouse, printer, etc).

-i 3FD
60
-

Your data may be different.
In case you want to know, 3FD is Com port 1, also known as First Asynchronous Adapter.
Load:

This command has 2 formats. It can be used to load the filename specified with the name command (n), or it can load a specific sector.

-n c:\command.com
-l

This will load command.com into debug. When a valid program is loaded all registers will be set up and ready to execute the program.
The other method is a bit more complicated, but potential also more usefull. The syntax is

L

-l 100 2 10 20

This will load starting at offset 0100 from drive C (0 = A, 1 = B, 2 = C, etc), sector 10h for 20h sectors. This can be useful for recovering files you deleted.
Move:

Move takes a byte from the starting address and moves it to the destination address. This is very good to temporary move data into a free area, than manipulate it without having to worry about affecting the original program. It is especially useful if used in conjunction with the r command to which I will get later. Lets try an example:
-a <-- enter="" font="" have="" original="" our="" program="" so="" something="" we="">
107A:0100 MOV AH,02 to work with
107A:0102 MOV DL,41
107A:0104 INT 21
107A:0106 INT 20
-m 107A:0100 L 8 107B:0100 <-- 107a:0100="" 107b:0100="" 8="" bytes="" from="" i="" into="" more="" starting="">
-e 107B:0103 <-- 107b:0103="" edit="" i="">
107B:0103 41.42 <-- 42="" and="" change="" i="" it="">
-d 107A:0100 L 8 <-- i="" it="" make="" sure="" worked="">
107A:0100 B4 02 B2 41 CD 21 CD 20 ...A.!.
-d 107B:0100 L 8
107A:0100 B4 02 B2 42 CD 21 CD 20 ...B.!.
-m 107B:0100 L 8 107A:0100 <-- changes.="" font="" like="" original="" program="" restore="" since="" the="" we="">
Name:

This will set debug up with a filename to use for I/O commands. You have to include the file extension, and you may use addition commands:

-n c:\command.com

Output:

Exactly what you think it is. Output sends stuff to an I/O port. If you have an external modem with those cool lights on it, you can test this out. Find out what port your modem is on and use the corresponding hex number below:

Com 1 = 3F8 - 3FF (3DF for mine)
Com 2 = 2F8 - 2FF
Com 3 = ??? - ??? (if someone knows, please let me know)

Now turn on the DTA (Data Terminal Ready) bit by sending 01h to it:
-o XXX 1 <-- com="" font="" hex="" in="" is="" port="" the="" xxx="">

As soon as you hit enter, take a look at your modem, you should see a light light up. You can have even more fun with the output command. Say someone put one of those BIOS passwords on "your" computer. Usually you'd have to take out the battery to get rid of it, but not anymore:

MI/AWARD BIOS
-o 70 17
-o 71 17

QPHOENIX BIOS
-o 70 FF
-o 71 17

QGENERIC
-o 70 2E
-o 71 FF

These commands will clear the BIOS memory, thus disabling the password.
Proceed:

Proceeds in the execution of a program, usually used together withy Trace, which I will cover later. Like the go command, you can specify an address from which to start

using =address
-p 2

Debug will respond with the registers and the current command to be executed.
Quite:

This has got to be the most advanced feature of debug, it exits debug!

-q
Register:

This command can be used to display the current value of all registers, or to manually set them. This is very useful for writing files as you will see later on.

-r AX
AX: 011B
:5
-

Search:

Another very useful command. It is used to find the occurrence of a specific byte, or series of bytes in a segment. The data to search for can by either characters, or a hex value. Hex values are entered with a space or comma in between them, and characters are enclosed with quotes (single or double). You can also search for hex and characters with the same string:
-n c:\command.com <-- command.com="" data="" have="" i="" in="" load="" search="" so="" some="" to="" we="">
-l
-s 0 l 0 "MS-DOS" <-- block="" entire="" for="" i="" memory="" search="">
10A3:39E9 <-- 10a3:39e9="" font="" found="" in="" string="" the="">

NOTE: the search is case sensitive!
Trace:

This is a truly great feature of debug. It will trace through a program one instruction at a time, displaying the instruction and registers after each. Like the go command you can specify where to start executing from, and for how long.
-a <-- again="" font="" thing="" this="" yes="">
107A:0100 MOV AH,02
107A:0102 MOV DL,41
107A:0104 INT 21
107A:0106 INT 20
-t =0100 8

If you leave out the amount of instructions that you want to trace, you can use the proceed (p) to continue the execution as long as you want.
Unassemble:

Unassembles a block of code. Great for debugging (and cracking)
-u 100 L 8 <-- 100="" 8="" at="" bytes="" font="" offset="" starting="" unassembles="">
107A:0100 MOV AH,02 <-- debut="" i="" response="" s="">
107A:0102 MOV DL,41
107A:0104 INT 21
107A:0106 INT 20
Write:

This command works very similar to Load. It also has 2 ways it can operate: using name, and by specifying an exact location. Refer to back to Load for more information.

NOTE: The register CX must be set the file size in order to write!
NOTE: Write will not write .EXE or .HEX files.[SIZE=7][SIZE=14]

How to Lock folder on windows using recycle bin:

Open Run in your computer or press (ctrl +R) and type ‘regedit‘ command
You can list of keys and relates values.

Navigate through list until you find CLSID no of recycle bin in registry editor

For example:

CLSID no of recycle bin is >> {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
Now its time to lock folder using recycle bin so, lets say you want to lock folder named ‘Folder1?

OPen Notepad editor, inside type following text like

ren folder1 recycle.{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}

and save that files as lock.bat

To unlock related Lock folder , you can create another batch file which will unlock folder.

Type below line in another notepad file and save that as ‘unlock.bat’

ren recycle.{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}

So, when ever you want to lock folder execute created lock.bat and reverse execute unlock.bat for locking folder

How to increase internet in Windows by releasing reserved 20% of net speed :

Did you know Microsoft reserves 20% of your bandwidth for updates and so forth.

Follow the following steps to get back what is rightfully yours

This tweak is designed for broadband users on Windows XP Pro Edition or later. For Windows Home Edition, consult the forum, as gpedit.msc is not available for you. This tweak will only remove an internet reserve of 20%, although this is not active unless you are running QoS Aware programs.

Log on as "Administrator".
Run - gpedit.msc
Expand the "Local Computer Policy" branch
Then expand the "Administrative Templates" branch
Expand the "Network" branch
Highlight the "QoS Packet Scheduler" in left pane.
In the right window pane double-click the "Limit Reservable Bandwidth" setting
On the settings tab check the "Enabled" item
Change "Bandwidth limit %" to read 0(zero)
Then go to your Network connections Start=>Connect to=>Show All Connections and right-click on your connection. Then under the General or the Networking tab,(where it lists your protocols) make sure QoS packet scheduler is enabled.

How can I reset the trial period of my software?

2014-04-03T12:45:00.001+05:30

How can I reset the trial period of my software?

Uninstall the software and follow the steps

After uninstalling software, Open RUN (Windows key + R) and type regedit and hit Enter.

Now Registry Editor Window will appear and here navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Your Software name from left pane of this window. If you find any Key name with your software name then just Delete that Key.

Similarly navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Your Software name and if you find any key with your software name then just Delete it and close the Registry Editor window.

Again go to RUN and type %temp% and hit Enter.

Now Delete all the things in that folder. Don’t worry these are the temporary files and not necessary for your operating system.

Now go to C:\Users\your username here\AppData. Under AppData open all three folders "Local", "LocalLow" and "Roaming” and check. Under these three folders if you find any folder or anything with your Software's name, just delete it.

Now Restart your PC and install the expired software and you can use it again for trial period. If you install the expired software without following the above steps then you don’t get trial period back.
