Get Vista like taskbar in Windows 7

August 5 2009No Commented

Categorized Under: Tips n Trix, Windows 7, Windows Vista

New to windows 7? Aint able to go along with it smoothly?
Well here is an option that you can follow to get the Taskbar icons as
the same we had in Vista.In Vista when ever we minimized an
application (folder,word etc) it is accessed by a tab @ taskbar which
describes about process and has a icon as well.But in Windows 7 this
thing has been replaced by an Icon so you cant get any text over
there.
To get back the similar feel in Windows 7 do the following:

Navigate to taskbar & Right Click it.
Open taskbar properties.
Go to option taskbar Buttons.
Here you have 3 options : hidelabels,combine ,never combine
Choose the third one.

Force all folders to Unhide : Pst virus attack counter measures

August 5 2009No Commented

Categorized Under: Tips n Trix, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP

Many of us have experienced attack of viruses someday or other.I too
recently experienced one and it was the worst one in last 5 years i
have faced.Nod32 never disappointed me but dont know what happened
this time.My lapy as well as Deski both started showing the
symptoms.although there wasnt any potential harm but all folders had a
Folder ‘MSOCACHE’ and all folders were hidden too.
Using MSE Beta removed the virus completly but still i wasnt able to
change the hidden folders to Unhidden one.After a lot of Querries &
Binging,Googling i finally found solution from a Freind who is a MVP
as well,Ramesh Kumar.
There is a command that is used to force all folders attribute to unhidden.
Here are the steps:
Simply Go to Run
type ‘CMD’
press Enter
Type this command “attrib -h -s -a -r * /s /d”
And you are done.
