What is Safe Mode, and What Does it Do?

Safe mode image when dealing with a computer issue, you will often hear your tech have you restart in “Safe Mode“. You may be wondering what “Safe Mode” is, and what it does. Safe Mode is the troubleshooting option for your Operation System (OS) which starts your computer with the most basic drivers, and services.

Anti Virus software, print drivers, and other 3rd party process’ are disabled, so you can get into the system on a clean slate, fix the issues, and reboot into normal mode.

Safe Mode may be required for Malware removal at times, since it allows the computer to boot, and prevent the virus from loading in the background.

You may be getting the “blue screen of death” (BSOD) when booting into Windows 7, and are wondering if it is an issue with your Windows installation, or is it a problem with a piece of software, or device you are using. If the problem does not appear when you start in safe mode, you can cancel out the default settings, and basic device drivers as possible causes of the issue.

If you are still unsure about the cause of the issue, you can use the process of elimination to narrow down the possiblities:

In Safe Mode- start your commonly used programs, one by one, and see if you can replicate the error. Often times, corrupt software can halt the entire system. If you recently made a change to your system before it went down, such as installed a new webcam, Safe Mode will allow you to log in and uninstall the cam, and reboot to see if it solved the problem.

How to boot into Safe Mode:

Windows - Power on the PC and hold F8 as it begins booting up. Choose the “Safe Mode” option when prompted.

Mac - Power on the Mac, immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.

Linux (most distros) - Power on your system, when at the GRUB boot menu, choose the version of the Kernel that has the Safe Mode option in the name.

How to safeguard your files when computer crashes

First thing to keep in mind: If your computer hasn't crashed yet, it will in the future! So instead of waiting for fate to strike, take some precautions now:

1) BACK-UP! Buy some decent DVD-R discs and put everything useful in them. When you have more useful stuff, backup again. Do this often.

2)
Keep your computer healthy. Use an antivirus, an anti-spy, and a firewall. Keep them updated. Check regularly for Windows critical fixes.

3)
Don't install software that would do dangerous things to your hard drive. A boot manager would fall in this category.

4)
Use a registry cleaner before and after you install or uninstall any software. Many of the problems that will keep Windows from booting are caused by sloppy software that mess up your registry. A good registry cleaner is Tune-up Utilities.http://www.tune-up.com/

5)
Run chkdsk now and then. Go to Start> Run. Type chkdsk /F. Press enter.

In case your PC has already crashed, read the following:
Most important: Don't panic! Panic is like a little demon that whispers in your ear to format your hard drive and reinstall everything. Don't do it!
You will lose all your data and the little demon will laugh at you.

To be exact you can still recover your data if you format your drive (by using special software), but only if you don't write anything on the disc afterwards. In other words format + windows install = bad idea. If you reinstall windows without formating your drive, you will only lose the files on your desktop and "My Documents" folder.

In all occasions you should make sure to safeguard your files before attempting any kind of repair!

So let's go about how to do that:

The fast way: Go to this site:
http://www.knoppix.org

Knoppix is a Linux distribution than runs from a CD. Download the Knoppix ISO and burn it. Put it in your CD drive. On startup access BIOS and change the boot sequence so that your computer boots from the CD drive. Save settings and exit. Upon reboot, Knoppix will load.
Knoppix is much like windows and it comes with its own CD burner. Locate it, launch it and backup everything you want on CD. Now you don't have to worry anymore!

The less fast way: This requires that you have access to a second PC. Open the case of your computer and remove the hard disk.

Install it as a slave on the second PC.

Depending on respective configurations, you may have to change some jumper settings on the drive. Read the manual for help with installing hard drives and setting jumpers.
After this is done, boot the second PC. If everything went out ok, you should be able to access your drive without problems. (Edit: Note that Win98 cannot recognize a local NTFS (Win2K/XP) disk.)

Copy everything you need from your own hard drive to the other one. Now you don't have to worry anymore!

Replace your computer's hard disk, fix all problems and reverse the process to copy the data back to your computer, or take CD backups on the other PC.

Block a site on your PC

Are you trying to block a website on your PC? You need not setup firewall filters to do this. Here is a simple trick to block the site on your system. Although many of you know this, this is for the unknown....
First of all I need to describe about the "Hosts" file
It is a file located in C:WINDOWSsystem32driversetc , and it contains information about the hosts on your system...
Here are the steps
1. Go to the location C:WINDOWSsystem32driversetc
2. You will find a file by name "hosts" with no extension.
3. Open that file in "Notepad"
4. Go to the bottom of the page where you could find the following line "127.0.0.1 localhost"
5. Now add another line at the bottom for ex: "127.0.0.1 http://www.xyz.com/ localhost"
6. This line will block the site http://www.xyz.com
The trick behind this
127.0.0.1 is the IP address of local system the so called loop back address... Now when you enter a site the browser will first check the hosts file and then it would go for the DNS service of your ISP.
Now we have added the Ip address of the xyz site as 127.0.0.1, so the browser will assume that 127.0.0.1 is the IP address of the xyz site and will connect to the local host itself and so the websites doesn't get opened...
This is the basic trick to block and we can overcome it very easily.....

Who Used Your Pc In Your Absence

Who Used Your Pc In Your Absence,what Did He Do?

For our purposes we want the System log. Click on "System" in the left-hand column for a list of events.
Look for a date and time when you weren't home and your computer should have been off.
double click on the eg: info n it will show u the detail.
You can also use this log to see how long someone was on the computer. Just look at the time the computer was turned on and off for that day.
Hope u all will like it.

How to Hack XP password

Another method to login to a password protected Windows even if you do not have the password is by making Windows accepting any passwords.
There is a far better way to get into
Windows XP. It is easy and it does not reset the password. Hack into a computer running Windows XP without changing the password and find out all and any passwords on the machine (including admin accounts). You do not need access to any accounts to do this. Of course, do not do this on anyone elses computer without proper authorisation.

Bypass Windows Login screen

Steps to Hack into a Windows XP Computer without changing password:


1. Get physical access to the machine. Remember that it must have a CD or DVD drive.

2. Download DreamPackPL HERE.

3. Unzip the downloaded dpl.zip and you’ll get dpl.ISO.

4. Use any burning program that can burn ISO images.

5. After you have the disk, boot from the CD or DVD drive. You will see Windows 2000 Setup and it will load some files.

6. Press “R” to install DreamPackPL.

7. Press “C” to install DreamPackPL by using the recovery console.

8. Select the Windows installation that is currently on the computer (Normally is “1″ if you only have one Windows installed)

9. Backup your original sfcfiles.dll by typing:

“ren C:WindowsSystem32sfcfiles.dll sfcfiles.lld” (without quotes)

10. Copy the hacked file from CD to system32 folder. Type:

“copy D:i386pinball.ex_ C:WindowsSystem32sfcfiles.dll” (without quotes and assuming your CD drive is D:)

11. Type “exit”, take out disk and reboot.

12. In the password field, type “dreamon” (without quotes) and DreamPack menu will appear.

13. Click the top graphic on the DreamPack menu and you will get a menu popup.

Hack Windows Login Dreamon

14. Go to commands and enable the options and enable the god command.

Bypass and hack user account passwords

15. Type “god” in the password field to get in Windows.You can also go to Passwords and select “Logon with wrong password and hash”. This option allows you to login with ANY password.

Note: I was unable to bring up the DreamPackPL for the first time because I have Kaspersky Anti-Virus already running in background. I believe most antivirus already labelled this tool as a Hack-Tool. A Hack-Tool is NOT a virus. DreamPackPL helps you bypass the Windows Login screen and it is not destructive

Change someone's windows password

This hack works if you are at someone else's home and you are logged into the account of the person whose account you want to hack. This also works if you want to hack someone else's account on your pc bit do not know his/her password.
Click on START-->RUN.
Type compmgmt.msc & press enter.
In the left pane, select COMPUTER MANAGEMENT--> SYSTEM TOOLS--> LOCAL USERS AND GROUPS--> USERS.
Then in the right pane, select the user name whose account you want to hack. RIGHT
CLICK and then click on SET PASSWORD from the pop-up menu.
Enter the new password. Click on OK.

Folder option missing

Many of us sometimes find the folder options missing in windows explorer.
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.
