Folder Options Missing??

Many of us sometimes find the folder options missing in windows explorer due to some virus or Trojan effect.
Here's the solution-->

Open Run and then type "gpedit.msc".
Now goto User Configuration > Administrative templates > Windows Component > Windows Explorer.
Click on Windows Explorer you will find the 3rd option on the right side of screen "Removes the Folder Option menu item from the Tools menu"
Just check it, if it is not configured then change it to enable by double clicking on it and after applying again set it to not configured.

I hopes that you will find the option after restarting windows..

Hide user accounts from the Windows XP Welcome screen

2012-06-17T07:35:00.000-07:00

The Windows XP Welcome screen. Pretty pictures for each user account. What a nice thought on Microsoft’s part. The only trouble is – I want to create an administrator account, and not have others tempted to try getting into it while they are on my computer.

When windows XP is not joined to a domain, it displays a welcome screen when it first boots:

The welcome screen displays all of the local users on the system, except the built-in administrator account that was created during setup. If we want to hide a specific user from the list, download the following software

that’s all we need to do. I log off, and now I only see Jennifer’s account:

Accounts with a blank password will not be able to login via Remote Desktop.

Free Utility To Make Your USB Pen Drive Bootable

2011-12-18T08:54:00.000-08:00

If you are an fairly advanced computer user, at times you may need to boot from devices other then the default hard-disk, mainly to troubleshoot virus infections and other critical operating-system related issues, I had shared tips on how to make bootable cd for performing advance system tasks on windows. Today I will share few utilities enabling you to create bootable USB pen drives with ease, you need to have Motherboard/BIOS with USB boot support for this to work.
MakeBootable is an free and simple-to-use utility to make your Pen Drive act as a boot-up disk without erasing any data on the device. It consists of a single executable file and requires no installation, However the utility will only work on USB device's using Phison’s chip solution and FAT file-system only (you can re-format your drives to FAT easily).

If the above utility fails to recognize your USB drive you can download and use the HP USB Format Utility and HP USB Boot utility, They work with other brands of flash drives as well, The best software for creating bootable flash drives with the most extensive support of drives and advance options would be "FlashBoot" from PrimeExpert but its not free and costs around $31, you can download and try the demo version.

There are quite a few other manual methods to make usb devices bootable as discussed here, once you succeed in making your USB drive bootable using any of the method discussed above, You need to change the boot-up setting in the system BIOS as described below to boot using your portable device:

With your device inserted, restart the machine.
Enter the BIOS setup menu to change the boot device setting.
If the boot-up files are created in the USB drive, select USB-HDD or USB-ZIP (preferred). If the boot-up files are created in the floppy drive of your device, select USB-FDD (for Pen Drive that supports security mode).

4. Save and exit the BIOS setup. You should be able to boot up with you USB device.

Mobile OS Comparison : Symbian vs Android vs Bada vs iOS

Mobile OS War: Symbian vs Android vs Bada vs iOS

There was a time when the thought of operating systems running on phones was way out of order but things have and they did change rapidly.
Today there are several different options for choosing the operating system for your mobile phones and the competition has increased so much that we are writing an article for the same today. Here is a comparison between the best in the business which also includes the blond bombshell from Samsung called the bada operating system.
Here is comparison among the best operating systems for the mobile devices followed by the comparison table of their features.

1.     Symbian
2.     Android
3.     Bada
4.     Apple iOS:

1. Symbian:

Symbian is the open source operating system that has been developed with by the mobility giant Nokia. Amongst the total mobile phones present I the world around 43.5% are running on the Symbian OS how’s that for number. The Operating system is one o the oldest operating systems for mobile phones in the world and currently powers some really amazing devices. Here are some of the positives behind the operating system followed by the cons from a user point of view.
Pros:

Stable

Continuous Updates

Cheaper

Lot of apps available

Durability assurance from Nokia

Cons:

Monotonous and less customizable GUI

Old and Boring

2. Android Operating System:

Android is probably my personal favourite operating system in the world and trust me I have reasons in support. Firstly, the operating system is of the make from Google and hence all the Google services that we rely on come free of charge secondly it has a huge market which has apps to increase the productivity of your smart phone many folds. Also, since it is open source and comes with a great SDK so app development becomes pretty easy.
Pros:

OS by Google
Google services come for free
Huge app store to increase phone productivity
Open source with great SDK freedom for developers
Easy to gain super user rights

Cons:

Huge Hardware requirements (coming down these days but only a compromise)
Version updates not maintained by the smartphone companies.
All apps are not backward compatible
Not all versions are completely stable

3. Bada OS :

This one is still new on the blocks but is creating great news in the market already; it is expected to give the big players a run for their money very soon. The operating system had been developed by Samsung and is currently found running on only Samsung phones. Bada supports all the various sensors that the Android and Apple iOS support and very well fits them to its architecture. It has also developed a SDK for itself which means that there will be huge number of apps for the operating system pretty soon.
Pros:

Brilliant architecture allows apps to be installed on card
Samsung build quality
Free applications available in huge numbers in the app store
Supports Flash
Since new hence relatively cheaper

Cons:

API prevents future improvements in technology
Applications cannot access SMS/MMS data
Less number of apps available in the app store

4. Apple iOS:

iOS is the same operating system that runs on the Apple devices, Apple claims it to be the most advanced portable devices operating system in the world. What’s great about it is that it comes with a humongous app store and a great SDK to develop apps. It runs on the world’s best hardware and is probably unbeatable at the moment.
Pros:

Most advanced operating system of the world
Biggest app store in the world
Great UI
Simple foldering feature

Cons:

Pretty Costly
Available only with Apple devices
No true multitasking
No flash support
Apple puts too many restrictions on the kernel

The Summit
At the summit of the building a generous quadruple height atrium space encloses a Sky Restaurant and Bar which will provide a unique vantage point for patrons to gain panoramic views out over the city

2011-03-18T21:35:00.000-07:00

The Podium
The geometry of the podium is designed to integrate fully with the design of the tower. Thus it is a highly symmetrical form that responds to the wing like canopies above the drop off. Containing mostly retail, the facade of the podium is activated with water features and fountains that cascade down to street level.

Location (View on google maps):

Site prep underway

General Arrangement
The tower is made up of two separate wings (or hands) which together form the architectural expression of “Namaste”. The space between the wings forms the corridor spaces. At either end of the corridor space a pair of open atria will offer hotel guests dramatic framed views out over the city.

The Building Skin
The tower has been designed to cater for large scale Indian weddings. The occasion of a Mehndi ceremony (where the hands and feet of the bride and groom are decorated with henna) is often one of the most important pre-wedding rituals in India.

The design seeks to build on the theme of the clasped hands by referencing the intricate Mehndi patterns through the treatment of the building skin. The tower is will be clad in fritted glazing that combines to form an architectural scale graphic on the exterior of the building. This will create a sense of transparency and depth to the building while at the same time helping to maintain the thermal qualities required to meet the building’s envelope design criteria.

It is proposed that the large scale canopies over the drop-off points area support an array of solar thermal collectors. Given the available surface area and annual sunlight conditions these have the potential to provide 12% of the energy required to heat the hot water for the hotel.

The Namaste tower! Designed by the Atkins design studio, work IS currently underway on this 300m-62 storeyed mixed use tower that will encompass a hotel, office and retail space. The location is Ambika mills which is a couple hundred meters south of the The developer of the project is unknown.

The renders and text were submitted by Atkins to the World Architecture Festival in Barcelona (3-5 Nov 2010).

Namaste: Hotel and Office Tower
Category: Future Projects - Commercial
Location: Mumbai, India
Architects: WS Atkins, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Atkins, United Arab Emirates

Following the long tradition of great Indian Architecture it was our aim that the Namaste Tower will stand as a landmark structure, representative of the burgeoning economic and cultural significance of India. We aimed to design a building that would become representative of the city: the picture postcard of Mumbai.

Key Statistics:
• 120,000 m2 of Gross Construction Area
• 380 key luxury hotel
• Exclusive restaurants, bars, banqueting and spa facilities
• 9,000 m2 of A grade office space
• 6,000 m2 of world class retail space
• 300 m overall building height

“Namaste"
The traditional Indian greeting of ‘Namaste’, where the hands are clasped together in greeting, is the inspiration for the design of this tower. In Sanskrit “Namaste` means “I bow to you`. It has a spiritual significance of negating one’s ego in the presence of another.

The Architecture of the Namaste Hotel builds on this ancient Indian expression. The two wings of the hotel are clasped together like hands greeting the city of Mumbai. In this way the architectural design of the hotel provides the ultimate symbol of hospitality and welcome, as seen in the as seen in the cultural context of India.

Visual Relationships to and from the Site
With a proposed height of 300 m the tower will be seen from a distance of more than 40 km. Therefore the visual appearance of the project as a major landmark is of great importance to the city of Mumbai.

Views from the tower will extend to the South over the Mahalkshi Race course towards the Mumbai Peninsula and to the South West over the Indian Ocean. The views to the north East are towards a number of adjacent towers that are currently being constructed. The orientation and massing of the tower have been designed in order to make the very best of these visual relationships.
