How to Resolve Low Memory Problems

You are shown with low memory warning messages when you run programs same time than the RAM installed on your computer. You can resolve this low memory problem by increasing the system paging file size also called as virtual memory. This will free up enough RAM for other programs to run properly. Follow these tips to resolve this problem:
Follow this path in first step:
  • Control Panel –> Performance and Maintenance –> System > Advanced –> Settings under Performance and Maintenance –> Advanced and Change

  • Here you have option to select any of your hard disk drive but the best choice will be to select any drive other than C Drive for virtual memory.
  • Set the double initial and maximum size of your virtual memory. Here set initial size 600 MB and maximum size up to 1000 MB. You can change this size according to the free space available on your hard drive.

MAKE A VIRUS with only notepad

Here are some top ways to create viruses and some of them can't be detected by antivirus.

1.

Into notpad and save it as abcd.cmd

It will delete all files on the computer even if they are read only and it will not promt you to do it. You will not think any thing has happend untill you try and do something.

How to make AUTORUN.INF

An Autorun.inf file is a file that, when placed on a drive (internal or external), will allow the drive to start programs, have a different icon than the standard boring one (LOTS OF FUN TO MESS WITH), and have a different name. The syntax is "option=value". Examples will be given later on.

I'll start by saying this: unless you know what you're doing, the Start menu - or more correctly the Start->[All] Programs->Startup sub menu - is the easiest, quickest and safest way to do it.

It's what I honestly recommend - even if you need to set up an auto-login to make it happen on boot.All you need do is create a shortcut within that sub menu to whatever it is you want and it will be run each time you log in.Now, if you're still set on finding other ways, my recommendation would be to grab the tool "autoruns" from SysInternals.com. It will list everything that auto-starts on your machine, and from where.

Add Background To Folders

So here we are posting 3 methods to have any desired wallpaper as background image in any folder in Windows XP:

Invisible Password

As we use passwords for logging in to our account, and we have many accounts, it becomes difficult to remember those passwords. Now if we keep all the passwords same then , there are more chances that the accounts can be hacked, but if keep all the passwords different, then we have to remember those passwords which is very irritating. Sometimes we keep all passwords in a file, which is very unsafe and then we have to take rounds of forgot your passwords.

Well, the best solution to this problem is to go and take the help of the chameleon.  No.. not that chameleon, our online chameleon  (password chameleon) which provides you a unique password for every site you want with using a master password.
Go to www.passwordchameleon.com and then choose secret passwords for webistes and the master passwords and then you don’t have to remember the loads of passwords.
