Create A System Restore Point In XP


Create A System Restore Point In XP
Create A System Restore Point In XP
Introduction:

Windows backup and restore is a system that can save your machine to a specific time and load this backup to restore your computer in exactly the same state as when you saved it.


You can use a restore point when, for example, you have been infected by a destructive virus and can no longer serve you properly on your computer. The restore point, if you did, you will regain a healthy computer and working. Well, the theory generally just practice. The time has come for you to create a restore point (Windows XP).


You should know that Windows includes a restoration software that works perfectly well. It is this software that we will use in this tutorial


Create a restore point:

To begin, start Windows Restore: Button Start => All Programs => Accessories => System Tools => System Restore You should see a window offering you to restore your system or create a restore point. Select Create a restore point. and click nextyou must enter a description that will allow you to easily identify yours restore point.


Using a restore point:

Now that you have created you restore point, you need to know how to load.

If you clicked on the button Start, returned here on the main window of the assistant. Select Restore my computer to an earlier time. You now find yourself facing a schedule. This calendar is special; it lists all yours restore points. Thus, you should see youÕre in the right frame by clicking on the day you created.


Cancel restore:

Your system restores gone wrong? No problem, there is a simple and effective solution?


Start the Recovery Tool. You fall back on the main window (again!?). Select Undo my last restoration. Click Next. Once again, it summarizes the information you: what will change if you cancel the restoration, what restoration will be canceled ... Click Next to start the cancellation of a previous restoration. Click Cancel to cancel and exit the System Restore tool (theres still time to turn around!). Windows restarts and like magic your computer has resumed its old settings!

How to Encrypt a File or Folder with Easy Ways

How to Encrypt a File or Folder with Easy Ways



Maybe you could find several different kinds of encrypted methods for files, but whether they are helpful for you or easy to use, you donÕt know that. And it is hard to promise that. Actually, too many encryption methods are not necessary for us. What we need is easy-to-use and effective encryption ways. Now the following will show some easy ways with or without encryption software, which apply to both computer expert and newcomers.

Choice 1: Some Simple Ways to Encrypt Files without Software


Method 1: Keep You File or Folder Hidden


Right-click parameters of file or folder, and set its parameter as Hidden. And then navigate to Control Panel, open Folder Option and click View button to choose donÕt show hidden file or folder. As a result, you could not see this file or folder again until you cancel these settings.

Method 2: Name Suffix Encryption


Change the extension name of the file or folder after they are compressed. But you have to remember what kind of the file is. This method can be used when you use method 1.

Method 3: Compress File or Folder as *.winrar Encrypted Compressed Folder


Right-click the file or folder you prepare to compress, and then Add to compressed file. Choose Advanced Ð Set Password Ð Enter Password, and then make sure it. Keep other options default settings.

Method 4: Lock File with Notepad


1. Make sure which file you want to lock, for example, D:pics. Now create new notepad and type following text:
ren pics pics.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}
pics is the name of your file, and save it as loc.bat in the same directory like file. 

2. And then open another new notepad and type similar text like the following:
ren pics.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} pics
Save it as key.bat in the same directory too.
Tips: Actually, the notepad could be named optionally. But the suffix should be .bat.

How to lock and unlock file?
1. Click loc.bat, file will be locked.
2. Click key.bat, the file will be unlocked and you can handle it.

Choice 2: Encrypt File with Software


Software 1: WinZip

WinZip is the most popular compression and decompression software, providing simple encryption function at the same time.
  1. First, create new compressed file without any content.
  2. Add file you want to compress to it.
  3. Choose Password command in Option, and password setting window will pop up.
  4. Type password you need to set in text box. When you type password, if you hope password not be seen, please select ÒMask PasswordÓ.

Software 2: WinRAR

Maybe WinRAR is more popular than WinZip. So it is necessary to learn how to use WinRAR to compress and encrypted file or folder. Encryption of WinRAR can go on with graphical interfaces and command. Click Ctrl + P or choose Password command in Option menu. A dialog Type Default Password pops up, so just type your password now to encrypt file.

Tips:
  1.  If the "Show Password" option is forbidden, you have to type password twice to make sure the accuracy of password.
  2.  If you have set "Encrypt File Name Option", WinRAR will not only encrypt data, but also encrypt all the sensitive area of the package including file name, size, parameters, annotation and other data. Therefore, it provides us higher safety level. Both password and file list could not be seen in the package encrypted with command. And this option is more significant when it compresses file as *rar file. If you decrypt file with default password or compress file into *.zip file, it will be ignored. 
Now file or folder has been encrypted or compressed and encrypted. As you can see, password is not used usually to encrypt file unless you encrypt file with software. But if you use software to compress and encrypt file or folder, and forget password, how should you do to decryption file?

Mac Recovery HD A spare wheel not really convenient

Mac Recovery HD A spare wheel not really convenient


Recovery HD A spare wheel not really convenient.

Recovery HD A spare wheel not really convenientTo overcome the lack OS X DVD or installation key that allowed particularly easily reinstall the OS X on your Mac, APPLE offers from LION a new tool that allows system recovery. This "Recovery HD" tool is unfortunately far from having the flexibility and simplicity that can have the DVD or the installation key. It is also necessary to be online to use certain features of "Recovery HD". Better to provide alternative solutions in case something happens and avoid resorting to this not necessarily convenient tool.


Introducing "Recovery HD"

Up to 10.6 SNOW LEOPARD, reinstall Mac OS X on her in case of necessity, it was enough to bring the DVD bootable OS X installation, start holding the "C" key to have started on the DVD, which allowed to launch "Disk Utility" to initialize (or partition) hard disk and proceed in the wake of the re-installation OS X.


With the arrival of Lion, the situation has changed. OS X is no longer sold on DVD bootable installation or as bootable USB drive, but by default via download from the Mac App Store. Therefore, to reinstall OS X if necessary, it is possible to us as in the past...

To face this new, APPLE has decided to propose a different system from LION for reinstalling OS X on your Mac if necessary. This tool is called "Recovery HD".


This is actually a small partition that is automatically created on your hard drive, just when you install YOSEMITE on this hard drive. You do not require same account, and may not know you now that you have such a partition! This is unfortunately not surprising, because this partition is very well hidden and nobody will tell you that it exists on your Mac!

NB: In some cases, this partition "Recovery HD" will however not be installed on your Mac during installation YOSEMITE: When the hard drive on which you install YOSEMITE is partitioned, in the case of a RAID volume, or if the disk has a partition configuration Boot Camp nonstandard, in which partitioning was performed after the execution of the Assistant Boot Camp or the configuration created by the Boot Camp Assistant has been manually changed.


This partition "Recovery HD" just lodge next to your OS X YOSEMITE system. So if you have YOSEMITE installed on your Mac, you have de facto of this small hidden partition.


Even the launch "Disk Utility" you cannot view it! But if you have a tool like "iPartition" you can do so through the "Partition Map" menu. Here on my main hard drive:


To access the partition, you must start the Mac is holding the "R" key pressed (in this case you will automatically start on that partition "Recovery HD") or holding down the "alt" key (in this case, Then select the partition "Recovery 10.10" that will appear on the screen).


If you have enabled "FileVault", access to the "Recovery HD" cannot be done by holding down the "alt" key when booting the Mac. It must indeed start the Mac by holding the "cmd" and "R" keys down.


What is this partition "Recovery HD"?

Once you have started on this partition "Recovery HD", you go (like the good old days of the DVD) to a certain tools.

At the top of the screen, in the menu bar, the "Utilities" menu include access to "Terminal" in the "Network Utility" and "Password Utility Firmware". You probably will not need these utilities, if perhaps not to reset the administrator password:


Reset the administrator password

á         Start the "Terminal."

á         Enter this command: resetpassword

á         A new window appears allowing you to change the administrator password.

á         When you restart the Mac, you can use the new password.




Now look at the main window that appears when you start up your Mac in "Recovery HD":

"Recovery HD" allows you to run a restore from backup "Time Machine" to launch "Safari" to surf and have particular online help, launch "Disk Utility" to repair minor injuries your OS X system and also boot / partition hard drives connected to the Mac, and perform a re-installation of OS X if necessary.


So finally, you will tell me if your Mac YOSEMITE faces some problems, well instead of starting as in the past on the installation DVD, youll be able to boot to that partition to start small basic repairs via "Disk Utility". Certainly it is possible, but since you have a clone having many more powerful maintenance tools, Im sure you already Demarrias more on the DVD to perform this type of basic maintenance operation ... then you will not start on that partition "Recovery HD", right?


And to re-install the system in case of need? In the past, yes, actually the best way to conduct a clean install of your OS X system was started on the installation DVD and do so to the re-installation of OS X. But now I urge you to do not go through "Recovery HD" to re-install OS X on your Mac.

Indeed, although it is of course possible to re-install OS X via the "Re-install OS X" function offered by "Recovery HD" This solution is not, in my opinion, not the best nor the most practical. If you have a clone, then preferably use the clone to make an OS X re-installation.


By default this partition "Recovery HD" is installed on the same hard drive where you installed OS X YOSEMITE. But what happens there if unfortunately your hard drive were to let go? Without clone bootable USB drive without installation YOSEMITE (crafted by you), it will NOT POSSIBLE not boot from this partition "Recovery HDÓ!!! So what?


Apple offers to download HERE a "Disk Recovery Wizard". This wizard letÕs just clone the partition "Recovery HD" to another hard disk (external drive) or even a USB drive. But be careful, in this case, this key will IN NO EVENT key USB bootable installation YOSEMITE, but it will just be a clone of the partition "Recovery HD" you already have on your hard drive. You can use this partition clone "Recovery HD" if you cannot use the partition "Recovery HD" located on your hard drive.

Its a little spare tire of the spare wheel.


NB: It is necessary to make the partition clone "Recovery HD" before the partition "Recovery HD" is no longer operational, of course.


Important note about the Mac market after the release of LION 10.7

Macs sold since the release of LION and therefore come with LION MOUNTAIN LION, MAVERICKS or YOSEMITE now installed on the machine, also have a function "OS X Internet Recovery" that allows you, in case of failure your hard drive and / or hard disk change, start your Mac directly from APPLE servers to process resettlement OS X. This feature is not available for Macs before the release of LION and therefore that had been purchased with a previous version of the system (or SNOW LEOPARD LEOPARD).


"OS X Internet Recovery" checks your machine, including its serial number (to verify that your Mac is allowed), and then automatically downloads and launches an image of the hard drive recovery.

To do this, you must have an Internet connection because you will have to download more than 5 GB of data necessary for the relocation YOSEMITE!!


More on "Internet Recovery OS X" HERE.


Why make it simple when you can make it complicated? Some will no doubt think that this system is practical and modern because it avoids having to annoy to re-install OS X, but I honestly think that APPLE would be much better to continue to offer the sale of bootable USB keys OS X and especially to slide one in every Mac sold in cartons YOSEMITE, rather than forcing new buyers to go through this function "OS X Internet Recovery" really not practical. Everyone does not necessarily have a high speed Internet connection, and how to re-install OS X and its MacBook Air or MacBook Pro when you are in a place without an Internet connection?


Indeed, the new Mac buyers have no choice but to go through Apples servers to re-install OS X if something goes wrong with their hard drive, they have neither USB Bootable of installation or installer (downloaded from the Mac App Store) they could use from a clone.


In short, after reading the above, it is better to take all possible precautions to deal with any difficult situation. I do know strongly advise you to urgently provided a clone of your YOSEMITE installer and / or you make a bootable USB installation YOSEMITE key.
