if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK
if NOT EXIST Locker goto MDLOCKER
:CONFIRM
echo Are you sure u want to Lock the folder(Y/N)
set/p "cho=>"
if %cho%==Y goto LOCK
if %cho%==y goto LOCK
if %cho%==n goto END
if %cho%==N goto END
echo Invalid choice.
goto CONFIRM
:LOCK
ren Locker "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
attrib +h +s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"

How to change the boot sequence in the BIOS

Are you Looking to change the boot order for your Windows XP or Vista machine? By changing the boot order, you can force your computer to boot from a CD/DVD drive, a floppy drive, or even off the network.

Changing the boot order on a PC is mostly done in order to boot from a recovery disk or from an OEM disk to run some kind of Windows repair software, such as the Recovery Console.

So here are the steps to change the boot sequence for a PC:

1: The first thing you have to do is restart your computer and enter the BIOS. You can enter the BIOS when you see a message such as “Press FX to enter setup” or something similar.

On a Dell machine it’s usually F2, Toshiba is F1 or ESC, HP is F1 or F2, and IBMs usually require you to go to Start, Programs and then Thinkpad CFG to start up in the BIOS.

2: Now that you are in the BIOS, the tough part is finding the boot order section. Note that there are not a ton of options in a BIOS, so just go through every page if you have to until you see something like First Boot Device, Boot Order, Boot Management, Boot Sequence, etc.

change boot order

It may also be under Advanced BIOS Features or Advanced Boot Options.it’s under Advanced BIOS Features. Use the arrow keys to navigate.

change boot sequence



As you can see, there is a First, Second and Third Boot Device. Scroll down and use the arrow keys to change the device to HDD (hard drive), Floppy, CDROM, or Network.

change boot order sequence

The instructions for changing the boot order are in the sidebar, but usually it requires pressing the + or – buttons to move items up and down in the order list. The first item in the list is what will be scanned first when booting. If boot media is not found, it will try the second device and so on.

Finally, go to Exit and make sure you choose Yes to the Save configuration changes and exit now? question.

That’s pretty much it! If you have any questions or can’t get into the BIOS on your computer.

Mount NTFS / FAT32 Windows Drive In Ubuntu

Recently I got my ubuntu Cd’s shipped to my home place, I was so curious to try ubuntu desktop edition which can be easily installed and configured with dual boot on my hp tx1000 laptop which had vista previously installed. After installation Ubuntu easily integrated and add a new entry with in the vista bootloader.

But the most disappointing thing I noticed in ubuntu is that I was not able to access the songs and other files which were there in the windows drive from ubuntu.

So, if you are facing the same problem don’t worry as I have the solution for you, Lets see how I solved the problem and mounted the windows ntfs and fat32 drive in ubuntu.

1. Open terminal in ubuntu

2. Type the following command

sudo /bin/bash

Note: Now type the password of the root user in ubuntu

3. Now, type the following command

mkdir /media/windisk

4. Now, you need to force mount the ntfs drive of
windows by typing the following command

For Mounting NTFS Drive, type the following command

mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/windisk -o force

For Mounting FAT32 Drive, type the following command

mount -t vfat -o umask=000 /dev/sda1 /media/disk

You can change the parameter in the above command
/dev/sda1 to change the windows drive to mount,
In order to get the listing of the windows drives
type the following command

fdisk -l

5. Now, to access all the windows files browse to
computer and open file system

Open Filesystem, browse to media/windisk to see all
the contents of the drive you mounted.

Note: Make sure to close the terminal after you are
done with mounting your windows partitions as the
terminal is running as super user so may accidently
run some commands which may harm you.

How to Disable Autoplay of Audio CDs and USB Drives

I find it very annoying when I go home from work and
plug my laptop into my external hard drive… The autoplay
window always pops up and asks me what I want to do with
the files, which may be fine the first time, but
definitely isn't after a year of that.

To get to the configuration screen for this setting,
go to Start Menu \ Run and type in:

gpedit.msc

You will see the Group Policy window.
You should select Administrative Templates \ System in the tree view:

You will see an item in the right side pane called "Turn off Autoplay"

Double click the item, and set the radio button to Enabled,
and change the "Turn off Autoplay on" to All Drives.

Now you should be safe from the autoplay monster.

Now a days we are using the well known operating system ‘windows XP’.

2. 516 MB RAM
3. 40 GB Hard Disk (minimum).
4. CD/DVD Drive
5. XP CD.

The above picture displays the available unused memory space.
Select the unused memory space. Here you can split the memory
into number of drives as per your wish.

Here it asks the selected partitioned drive to be formatted.
That means the data within the drive will be erased. There
are two types of partition types NTFS and FAT. For windows
select always NTFS partition.
Here setup files will be copied from the CD to system.


Finally your monitor will display like this…
It will install the required packages automatically. During the
regional settings you have to answer some questions.

Here it contains two checkboxes. If you want to read the tamil Unicode
Select the first checkbox.

Finally this is the last process. Once you click the finish the
