Voice Password To Lock Windows
Some of our readers asked us if there is any way they can unlock
windows using a voice, this idea itself is quite good as unlocking
windows without entering or typing a password on the keyboard will
require the least effort from the user, so many users would like to see
this feature in future versions of windows, as if now this feature is
not there in the latest upcoming version of windows 8, hopefully it will
get add up in windows as default feature one day.
How To Unlock Windows with Voice Command
In order unlock windows with voice, you will need to install some
third party software which can enable this feature on windows, but as it
seems like most of these software’s are paid and but come with a free
trail for some weeks or month.
The first software which can be direct need for this purpose is VoicePass PC Security Lock
[Paid] – this application is designed in a way that it can unlock
windows based on your voice, but thing to notice is that you need to a
have a unique word which should not no longer than 2 seconds. The first
time you run the software after installing it, it will ask you to enrol
and record the voice password which you will need to say 10 times and
then it will save for future.
You can select any word from any language between 3-12
letters. The software monitors who is trying to access your computer
while you are away. Protect your privacy and confidential data 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week.
We cant find more software’s to unlock windows with voice which could
work like this one, if you can suggest a free or paid software like
this which could allow to add windows user to add a voice password to
unlock windows please let us know through comments at the end of this
page.

Protect your Computer from USB Virus
you
ever attached a USB to a computer and later found out that the Computer
is infected by a virus? I have definitely faced this situation many
times. If you attach your infected USB drive to the infected computer
the virus is transferred to the Computer in no time infecting all the
important documents. But now you don’t have to worry about any USB Virus
because USB Disk Security provides 100% protection against any threats
via USB drive. USB Disk Security provides 100% protection against any
threats via USB drive, however, the majority of other products are
unable even to guarantee 90% protection. USB Disk Security is the best
antivirus software to permanently protect offline computer without the
need for signature updates, but other antivirus software should update
signature database regularly, and they cannot effectively protect
offline computer. This light and easy to use solution is 100% compatible
with all software and doesn’t slow down your computer at all. You pay
USB Disk Security once and get it all, however, other antivirus products
should be paid for updates every year.
Product Highlights:
100% protection against any malicious programs via USB storage USB Disk
Security uses innovative proactive technology to block any threats via
USB drive. There are relatively few products available in shops or on
the Internet which offer even close to 100% protection against any
malicious programs via USB drive. The majority of products are unable
even to guarantee 90% protection. USB Disk Security is the world’s best
software to block threats via USB drive. The best solution to protect
offline computer Other antivirus software should update signature
database regularly, and they cannot effectively protect offline computer
that is not connected to the Internet. When new viruses, worms and
other malicious attacks strike, traditional signatures are insufficient.
Every minute one waits for a virus signature update creates a window of
vulnerability that could have devastating consequences. USB Disk
Security uses advanced proactive detection techniques, requires no
signature updates, and closes the window of vulnerability left open by
other reactive, signature-based responses. The world’s fastest and
smallest antivirus software With USB Disk Security, it’s not necessary
to sacrifice speed for detection and scanning. Compare antivirus
software and you’ll discover that USB Disk Security is by far one of the
smallest applications in the industry. For example, the v5.0 of USB
Disk Security installer is just 1 MB. The program utilizes approximately
1 to 7 MB of RAM. 100% compatible with all software Incompatibility
between antivirus programs is an issue. In the vast majority of cases,
installing two antivirus programs from different vendors on one machine
(for increased protection) is technically impossible, as the two
programs will disrupt each other’s functioning. However, USB Disk
Security is 100% compatible with all software, including Windows Vista.
Simple to use USB Disk Security has been specifically designed to
perform effectively regardless of the user’s level of computer
expertise. Just install and forget it. System Requirement 100MHz
Processor or more, 16MB RAM or more. The operating system should be
Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows NT 4.0,
Windows ME, or Vista.
Free Up 10 GigaBytes of Disk Space in Windows
Areas to save disk space
- Turn off or decrease size of disk usage for system restore
If your not using the Windows System Restore feature, then why have it enabled?
If you are using it, perhaps you want to re-evaluate how much disk space its using up (which can be several GigaBytes) for saving checkpoints. If you only want to have 1 or 2 good saved checkpoints to restore from decrease the allocated space for system restore to a few hundred meg.
- Decrease the disk usage size of the recycle bin
The most common area on a users PC in which Windows allocates a chuck of space for itself is the recycle bin. If you rather have files be deleted instantly and not put in the recycle bin or you want to decrease the space it uses to hold deleted files
- Empty or Decrease your Web Browsers disk usage for Cached files
Every web browser has a preferences or options area to adjust the temporary internet files and cache usage. In this video tutorial we use Internet Explorer as an example on how to save space with an adjustment of the temporary internet files space it uses.
- Disable Hibernation in Windows.
If you don't know what Hibernation is , chances are you aren't using it. You might want to disable it to save a few Gigabytes of space that function requires as shown in the video tutorial.
For Vista users you can open command prompt and type powercfg -H off
-Run the Windows Clean Manager
Windows comes already with a built in cleaner that does simple basic tasks to free up disk space.
To access it click start -> Run -> type cleanmgr -> press OK
Useful Windows XP DOS Commands & Tricks
- Windows Command Line prompt is a most efficient and faster way of doing things in Windows XP. Here's a run-down of the most useful DOS commands available in Windows XP. Some of these DOS commands even do not have an visual alternative.
- DOS Command-line tools must be run at the prompt of the Cmd.exe command interpreter. To open Command Prompt, click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
- ipconfig - Windows IP configuration
Useful for troubleshooting your internet connection.Displays the current IP address of your computer and the DNS server address. If you call your ISP for reporting a bad internet connection, he will probably ask you to run ipconfig. - fc - Free BeyondCompare in XP
FC is an advanced DOS Command that compares two files and displays the differences between them. Though the file comparison results are not as interactive as BeyondCompare or Altova DiffDog, fc is still very useful. You can even set fc to resynchronize the files after finding a mismatch. - type - open text files sans Notepad
Similar to Unix cat command, Type is my favorite DOS command for displaying the contents of a text files without modifying them. When used in combination with more switch, type splits the contents of lengthy text files into multiple pages. Avoid using the type command with binary files or you'll hear alien PC beeps and see some greek characters on your PC. - ping - Say hello to another Computer
Ping network command followed by the web-address or IP address tells you about the health of the connection and whether the other party is responding to your handshake request. Ping tool can also be used to convert the web address to a physical IP address. - tree - visual directory structure
You often need to take prints of your physical directory structure but XP has no simple "visual" commands for printing directory contents. Here, try the Tree DOS command and redirect the output to a text file. - tree > mydirectory.txt
print mydirectory.txt - attrib - make hidden files visible
Attrib lets you change attributes of System files and even hidden files. This is great for troubleshooting Windows XP. Say your XP doesn't boot ever since you edited that startup boot.ini file (Hidden), use attrib to remove the Hidden attibute and edit the file using EDIT dos command. - assoc - which program will open that .xyz file
The assoc DOS command can be used to either isplay or even modify the file name extension associations. The command assoc .htm will quickly tell you the name of your default web browser (see picture) - move - more flexible than copy-paste
Say you got a lot of XLS and DOC files in you MyDocuments folder and want to move only those XLS files that have their name ending with 2006. In XP Explorer, you have to manually select each file and then cut-paste to another folder. However, the DOS move command make things much simpler. Just type the following at the command prompt:
move *2006.xls c:\2006Reports\ - find - advanced file search with filter
Find is the most powerful DOS command and even more useful than the Windows Desktop Search tool or the Windows Find Wizard. The find command searches for a specific string of text in a file or files. After searching the specified file or files, find displays any lines of text that contain the specified string. - To search your hard disk to
find and display the file names on drive C: that contain the string
"Google" use the pipe (|) to direct the results of a dir command to find
as follows:
dir c:\ /s /b | find "Google" - Quick tip - Drag to avoid typing: When your command acts on a file or folder, you must type the path to that folder after the command. You can save typing time by dragging the file or folder from Windows Explorer into the command window.
- To view help at the command-line, at the command prompt, type the following:
CommandName /?
How to make Firefox browser run at maximum speed ?
1. first in the URL bar, Type “about:config”.
It will bring up a list of commands and variables you can edit.
2. The second step is to put “network.http.pipelining” in the filter and change the value to “true”.
3. After that you will want to put “network.http.proxy.pipelining” in the filter.
Like the last one, make that value set to “true” also.
Like the last one, make that value set to “true” also.
4.
Next, locate “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” and change the value
to some number higher, say 10,20 or even 30, it would make up to 10,20
or 30 requests at once.
5. The last step is to right click
anywhere and select “New” then “Integer”. Name it
“nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and make its value “0″. This will make the
browser respond faster on the information of the websites it receives.
6. Close out FireFox and restart it
loo.. enjoy the new mega speed
