But some say it is good and others are bad. After listen this type of things, I decide write something about in this matter and what the strategy that may you  follow according to your work and choose batter option,so that you decide what is good and what bed is, for you.

When you attach your pen drive with your pc, an auto play popup display on your screen and ask you what do you want?

This is very good option when you attach pen drive because you don’t need to double click your computer icon and then double click your pen drive icon.

But according to today’s scenario Autoplay option is not secure for your system.

The main drawbacks of autoplay option is that, pen / flash or any USB drive are the big source to spread virus between computer and most of the virus work with auto play option because writer of the virus also know this things.

So this is a good choice for you to disabled pen / flash drive auto play option.

You can permanently disable your system auto play option but in this situation every time you need to open your drive with many clicks.

I know that, this type of setting can slow your work but in the bases of your Pc infected by any virus. This may be good deal for you.

Follow these instructions to disable autoplay option

Open control panel > classic view (top left side) > and double click on Autoplay icon.

Unselect “Use Autoplay for all media and devices” check box

And click on save button.

If you think that you don’t need disabled autoplay all time.

Ok, you can do this, But in this situation transfer data only trusted source or you know confidently and believe that pen/ flash/Usb drive don’t have any virus or malicious code.

Or you can also do other things if you know which people or friend ’s pen / flash drive always have virus, and Every time when you attach your pen / flash drive, press and hold the Shift key, this will disable the auto play dialog box. Holding down the Shift key will also block the applications that starts automatically (mostly virus).

If you don’t interested this type of configuration and believe in Usfaw (Using software for any work) you can also try some of the free software.

But now you can shut down your pc in just one click, take some instruction and after this you are ready for it.

Navigate to your desktop. On the desktop, right-click and go to New, then to Shortcut.

Now you see a pop-up window.
Copy & paste below command in “Type Location of the Item”

SHUTDOWN -s -t 01

Click the “Next” button. Name the shortcut and click the “Finish” button. Now whenever you want to shut down, just click on this shortcut and you’re done.

To abort the shutdown in progress, at the command prompt, type shutdown -a. or you can also create shortcut like one click shutdown.

Create new shortcut and Copy & paste below command in “Type Location of the Item”

Shutdown -a

Mostly users always use c drive for installing windows operating system.
But If the C: drive is not your installed windows drive, and then first replaces “C” with the correct letter of the hard drive. For changing your drive letter right click your created shutdown shortcut and open properties and replace your drive letter with your installed windows drive.

If you want to shut down your system after some time or any specific time period

The valid range is 0-600, with a default of 30.

Shutdown -s -t <time in seconds>

Shutdown -s

Your system will be shutdown in 30 seconds.

Shutdown -s -t 300

When you use this command your system will be shut down in 5 minutes.

Shutdown -s -t 600

When you use this command your system will be shut down in 10 minutes.

You can also customize one click shutdown icon because by default it don’t have any icon

For changing icon right click your created shutdown shortcut and open properties and click change icon button, and choose your desire icon.

You can also change your one click shutdown icon location and save some space from your desktop, this is more handy to move from desktop to quick launch in taskbar.

If you want to know more about it, open your command prompt and use this command shutdown /?

You can also do same thing with one keyboard key, just press power button form your keyboard (mostly top right side) , but you don’t abort the shutdown progress after use this power button.

But after saving the file when you open your save file directly from hard drive, this is not handy due to very long path to open saved file.

Windows vista – <user folder> \ Documents \ and then open your saved file

But this is good for you if you change your default file save location so that you can easily open your file.

For changing file location follow these instructions -

Go to title bar and click customize quick access toolbar then click more commands.

Click on advance in left side, scroll down window and go to general section and click on file location buttons.

Select Documents and then click on modify button, and select your new desire location.

But if you have  more knowledge about file type you can batter handle your system and your hard drive.

Sometime this is more handy when you transfer some file with your pen drive / usb drive and you need some more space, but physically it’s not possible to increase your hardware capacity immediately.

But you can do this by decreasing your file size.

You can understand it with this example -

I have two bin file

Total size of .bin & .cue files = 1.51 GB

After converting bin into iso

Total size of .iso files = 1.32 GB

Now you save = .19 GB / 194.56 Mb (where 1024 mb = 1 GB)

You can easily convert your bin file into iso with anytoiso free utility.

Follow these instructions-

Browse C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\
Find the file named “HOSTS”
Open it in notepad
under “127.0.0.1 local host” and add website like this-

127.0.0.1 www.example.com

127.0.01 example.com

If you want to block example.com, add both line your hosts file because some of the website  also open without www.

http://www.example.com

http://example.com

If you don’t edit your file directly in windows vista & seven, first you need to copy your hosts  file in other drive( except c drive) and then edit and replace your hosts file with original host file.

You can also understand with this example you can see here when you want to block orkut, add both domain -

www.orkut.com

www.orkut.co.in – it is a default domain for Indian region.

Now check your browser and that site will no longer be accessible.

When you use this way your file always goes into the same place where your file present before deleted.

If you want to restore your file in new location, just chose your file or folder which you want to restore and drag & drop your desire location.

This tip also work with Windows 7 & windows xp

I also know that Mostly users of window operating system use internet explorer but some of the people try Firefox and leave again this because addiction of internet explorer look but this is not a good choice where security and time is main things in these days. so Don’t leave Firefox only on this basis where you addict with internet explorer look &  graphical design because tone of the features are available and waiting your mouse clicks and you can also customize Firefox according to your desire.

You can also look some other fact if you are a window xp user your internet explorer version 6.xx and this version does  not support tab browsing and if I talk my own self today I don’t work without tab browsing which save my thousands of hours which spend on internet.

Internet explorer 7.xx & 8.xx version support tab browsing but why don’t you try Firefox (3.x.x, English (US), Windows (7.1MB))

So why do you try only one time and leave it please try it 10- 20 times and you can find this is a right choice for you and your work which you done with internet every day.
