How to fix Folder Options disabled by malware? This is a simple way to fix Folder Options. This kind of malware causes Folder Options unable to activate features of Do not show hidden files and folders and Show hidden files and folders. Both menus - Do not show hidden files and folders and Show hidden files and folders are checked and we can not activate each of them. If a PC is infected, its view of Folder Options will show as this following picture:


To fix this trouble, please copy this following command written in red and paste in notepad:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden]
"Text"="@shell32.dll,-30499"
"Type"="group"
"Bitmap"=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,00,74,\
00,25,00,5c,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,53,00,\
48,00,45,00,4c,00,4c,00,33,00,32,00,2e,00,64,00,6c,00,6c,00,2c,00,34,00,00,\
00
"HelpID"="shell.hlp#51131"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\NOHIDDEN]
"RegPath"="Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Advanced"
"Text"="@shell32.dll,-30501"
"Type"="radio"
"CheckedValue"=dword:00000002
"ValueName"="Hidden"
"DefaultValue"=dword:00000002
"HKeyRoot"=dword:80000001
"HelpID"="shell.hlp#51104"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL]
"RegPath"="Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Advanced"
"Text"="@shell32.dll,-30500"
"Type"="radio"
"CheckedValue"=dword:00000001
"ValueName"="Hidden"
"DefaultValue"=dword:00000002
"HKeyRoot"=dword:80000001
"HelpID"="shell.hlp#51105"


After pasting in notepad, save with any name you wish with extension reg It has to have .reg extension as FolderOptionsFix.reg (type this in File Name form), then close notepad. What should we do next is running our new file with .reg extension. When Windows asked if we wish to add this registry, click Yes. That’s all, and Folder Options is fixed entirely.

I can not write details about this trouble, but if you wish please compare registry addresses above before and after running FolderOptionsFix.reg, causes of the troubles are there.

How to fix task manager?

Sometimes, Windows task manager is disabled, whether by virus, worm, trojan, or anything else. If task manager's diabled, then when we press Ctrl+Alt+Del, this following popup will appear:


Sadly, even if we have removed virus, trojan, or malware that caused this, it does not automatically fix disabled task manager, the symptom still remains and should be removed manually. If we have installed a utility application like Tune Up Utilities, we still are able to see processes through Tune Up process manager. Problem is on registry, if we are lucky, those troblemakers do not disable regedit along with task manager, so we can open it and fix it manually, if regedit is ddisabled too, we can use Tune Up Registry Editor. Its place is on HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies\ System, please delete the value named DisableTaskMgr, and after closing regedit, everything is fixed.

Other simpler way to fix disabled task manager is by running this application, Task Manager Fix, a small tool (76kb), we can download by clicking this adjacent picture or here. Just double click this application and press Fix Task Manager, everrything will be fixed instantly.

How to choose a torrent file?

Bittorrent offers more choice to download anything, ranging from video, audio, ebook, etc., almost everything are available in sites tracking torrent files such as thepiratebay.org (this one is my favorite). From my experience, to choose a certain torrent file, we must consider several things first. As we have known all along, if we search certain video in bittorrent tracker as Pirate Bay, then there will be many torrents available for a video file we want. We must choose one of them carefully to get fast download and good quality files.

  • First, try to choose a file with more seeder than other files, remember bittorrent logics that more downloader means faster download. Please consider comments on that file, usually good files receive positive comments. Be careful if there is comment about Trojan, bad quality file, and as such, try compare all of comments on that file and then conclude it afterward yourself. If we able to conclude wisely, then there is greater chance that we would get good torrent file resulting in faster download and good downloaded files.
  • If you try to download video, try to look first to release date of home video of that movie, the release date of home video of a movie is available in IMDB or wikipedia. Good movie is always a good rip from released DVD or Blu-ray, so if a torrent file is claimed containing good movie file ripped from DVD before DVD or Blu-Ray release, it is almost absolutely to be fake, it can be a camera recording from a cinema, absolutely bad in audio and picture. Unless its uploader got a leaked video secretly from filmmaker.
  • Generally, more seeder will cause faster download, but this is not always the case. Sometimes, I got slower torrent even if it had many seeders, I even got faster torrent even if there are less seeder than other torrent files. I didn’t know what the exact causes are, but I suspected that it also always depends on speed of seeder internet connection. If there are many seeders with slow connection, then considerably less seeder torrents with fast connection may surpass torrent files with more seeder.
There are no exact rules about how to choose a torrent files, we can conclude many rules for ourselves based on our own experience. It would be good too if we compare torrent files and then choose the best of them.

Working at home online

Do you ever work at home, everything at home? I want to write about my last experience working at home for about a month. Everything I did and finished at home with communication to client and a colleague via phone call, email, and Yahoo Messenger. Everything's fine and we were able to finish our jobs successfully. I am so grateful about it, and I can say that I like working this way, at home, with its advantages and disadvantages.
.
I was a student, and I enjoyed this work. I didn’t have many classes , so I am practically did nothing almost everyday. It was started when one of my friends contacted me and offered a job share, translating tons of documents for a month limit. I agreed with his offer and we began to work on tens of documents with hundreds of pages.
.
Because we worked at home, we were free to define our own schedules. Working times were not necessary always followed conventional times, starting in the morning to evening 8 hours per day. We could do it in the morning for two hours, and then continued it at night, and I remembered correctly that I never ever worked for 8 hours or more in a day. This suited us well, we could do anything else at anytime we wanted. Working at morning, noon, afternoon, evening, late night, morning or anytime else were depended on us. We were working anytime we wanted and also having funs and did others in anytime we chose to do. I was still able to attend my regular classes and worked after that. Of course we must remembered that our work must be finished after a month since we started.
.
This resulted in one consequence I noticed clearly. It was hard to arrange when we should work, not because we don’t have a time but because it was hard to have the mood to work. It seemed that we were getting lazier. If there was no boss around, then nobody forced you to work. My home was not a peaceful sanctuary again when I went home from campus, because at home meant I must worked again. This situation ‘haunted’ me for a month. Moreover, because we were a bit slow in first days of work, our works were piled up in the end of the month near deadline. It was very stressful.
.
Afterwards, I just noticed that the whole work were done online. We never met directly each other, all of them were done via phone, email, and chat. It was my friend who met our client face to face, I never met our client or even knew him.
.
Comparing advantages and disadvantages, I still prefer working at home. I am still single, but I think that this good for parents, especially mothers. They could work without had to compromize attentions to their children.

EPSON STYLUS T11: Ink Clogging And Driver

Similar to any other ink jet printer, sometimes Epson Stylus T11 also experiences problems related to ink clogging. Epson Stylus T11 is unable to print or its printing have white lines of failed print or misprint. This is a classic problem in any ink jet printer.

Usually, this problem occurs if we let cartridge completely dried up, so please never let cartridge dry (Note: I talk about refilling cartridge, refillable one, if you always replace empty cartridge, don’t bother with this).

After refilling empty cartridge, usually bad printing occurs. This problem sometimes can be solved by Head Cleaning features. Try to activate head cleaning about three times (too many head cleaning can cause damage on cartridge) and usually bad printing is not an issue again. But there are chances that printing result is still bad. So we need to drain clogged ink lines. Please open a document, and try to print it, just one page, but before that set quality option to Best Photo. Off course, such document must have colors of clogged ink. Printing with quality of Best Photo need considerable time, because it tries to print as good as possible. After printing with this quality, in most case, clogged ink is completely drained out. Printers (Epson Stylus T11) can print in text quality without problems of bad printings.

Epson Stylus T11 is very popular because its durability and print ability. Here is drivers for Epson Stylus T11:

Opera Turbo "The Minimalist"

The newest opera browser has minimalist interface, similar to Google Chrome, with main bar only showing tabs. Personally, I call this interface imitates Google Chrome. Turbo feature, now, is not a beta version again. It is included in every new Opera browser, to help user to speed up browsing in slow internet connection. Cookies problems are not an issues now when Turbo is on, so user can log to email, community sites, etc. without problems. Opera 10.51 is available here.
