Check the file size using dir command. 3) Now create the stealth file using the command below:- notepad originalfile.txt:hiddenfile.txt 4) Type some text into it which you want nobody to see or read. Save this file. Done!!! 5) Check the size of the file "originalfile.txt". It will be the same as you saw it in step 2.

Only u know abt it. 6) Anytime you want to edit this file, use:- notepad originalfile.txt:hiddenfile.txt and enter ur secret data into it which nobody can see

Maintaining your computer is the key to keeping it healthy and fully working and of course, fast. Windows 95 has most of the tools for maintaining your PC, but Windows 98 extends the possibilities and makes it even less of a hassle. If you follow the list below and run the programs listed frequently, you will be guaranteed to have a maintained computer at no extra cost. There are, however, other programs in the market with stronger engines, but then again, they're not free (stop smiling...) Most of these programs can be found under the Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools folder. 1. Disk Defrag: It is advisable to run Defrag under Windows 95 once a month or when you add/remove programs. However, under Windows 98, you can run it every week if you want because it has a new engine, which means that the more you run it, the faster your computer will get. What happens is that your programs are placed on your hard disk in a way so that the ones you use most often are easier for the...

"Missing or corrupt HAL.DLL"& "Invalid Boot.Ini" You should know Recovery Console options before using this tip. If Windows XP issues "Missing or corrupt HAL.DLL," "Invalid Boot.Ini," or "Windows could not start..." error messages at startup, you can use the Bootcfg /Rebuild to rebuild and recover the system. The five steps involved are as follows: 1.Boot from the Windows XP Setup CD and enter the Recovery Console. When the setup program runs, you will have the option to Press R to start the Recovery Console. If you are using a Windows XP SP1 CD and the system has been updated to Windows XP SP2, you should use a "slipstreamed" CD that incorporates SP2 so that outdated SP1 files are not used on an SP2 system. 2.Enter the command Attrib -H -R -S" C:\boot.ini to remove the Hidden, Read-only, and System file attributes so that it can be located, because it is a hidden system file by default.

This procedure assumes that Windows XP is installed on drive C: Drive C: must be FAT16 or FAT32 to be able to install Windows 98 after XP is already installed. The 98/Me installation routine cannot write to an NTFS partition. You must have a second hard disk or partition formatted for FAT16/32 in order to be able to install Windows 98/Me. Installing 98/Me to the same partition as Windows XP is NOT RECOMMENDED! I recommend the use of a Windows 98 Startup disk for this procedure.You should ensure that DEBUG.EXE is on your Startup disk.On a 98 Startup disk, created from Add/Remove Programs, its in the EBD.CAB file on the Startup disk. For a 98 Startup disk created from FAT32EBD.EXE its on the floppy Installing Windows 98 1) Use a Win98 Startup disk (with CD support) to boot your computer. 2) Insert your Win98 CD into the CD Rom drive. 3) At the A: prompt type X:\Win98\Setup.exe where X: is your CD-ROM drive. 4) Proceed with the install.

1). Start any application, say Word. Open some large documents. 2). Press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC to open Windows Task Manager and click Processes tab and sort the list in descending order on Mem Usage. You will notice that WINWORD.EXE will be somewhere at the top, using multiple MBs of memory. 3). Now switch to Word and simply minimize it. (Don't use the Minimize All Windows option of the task bar). 4). Now go back to the Windows Task Manager and see where WINWORD.EXE is listed. Most probably you will not find it at the top. You will typically have to scroll to the bottom of the list to find Word. Now check out the amount of RAM it is using. Surprised? The memory utilization has reduced by a huge amount. 5). Minimize each application that you are currently not working on by clicking on the Minimize button & you can increase the amount of available RAM by a substantial margin. Depending upon the number and type of applications you use together, the difference can be as much as 50 percen...

To speed up your hard disk speed we need to configure a special buffer in the computer's memory in order to enable it to better deal with interrupts made from the disk.

Go to Start then Run and enter MSCONFIG and go to the Startup tab. Deselect/UnCheck application(s) that you do not want to startup at boot time.

A Vista Capable or equivalent PC needs to have at minimum an 800 MHz processor, 512 MB RAM and a DirectX 9 class graphics card.

The Basics of Fdisk: Primary partitions are the only one that are bootable. They're always the C: drive when active. Normally you can only have one (more with some special tricks etc.) Extended partitions are needed when you want more than one partition. You can only have ONE Extended partition. Logical Drives come into the Extended partition. They are handy since you know that you can only have one Primary and one Extended so you can get more than only two partitions. They would be your D:, E:, etc. drives. First you need to reboot your system with the Boot Disk inserted. 1.At the A: prompt start "FDISK." 2.If asked to use Large Disc support say Yes. 3.The first screen looks like this: Create Dos Partition or Logical Drive Set Active Partition Delete Partitions or Logical DOS Drives Display Partition Information Change current fixed drive.
