CREATING ONE CLICK SHUT DOWN AND REBOOT SHORTCUTS

First, create a shortcut on your desktop by right-clicking on the desktop, choosing New, and then choosing Shortcut. The Create Shortcut Wizard appears. In the box asking for the location of the shortcut, type shutdown. After you create the shortcut, double-clicking on it will shut down your PC.

But you can do much more with a shutdown shortcut than merely shut down your PC. You can add any combination of several switches to do extra duty, like this:

shutdown -r -t 01 -c "Rebooting your PC"
Double-clicking on that shortcut will reboot your PC after a one-second delay and display the message "Rebooting your PC." The shutdown command includes a variety of switches you can use to customize it. Table 1-3 lists all of them and describes their use.

Use this technique to create two shutdown shortcuts on your desktop—one for turning off, and one for rebooting. Here are the commands :

shutdown -s -t 03 -c "Bye exil0r"
shutdown -r -t 03 -c "We'll meet soon ;)!"

Switch
What it does

-s
Shuts down the PC.

-l
Logs off the current user.

-t nn
Indicates the duration of delay, in seconds, before performing the action.

-c "messagetext"
Displays a message in the System Shutdown window. A maximum of 127 characters can be used. The message must be enclosed in quotation marks.

-f
Forces any running applications to shut down.

-r
Reboots the PC.

EASY WAY TO IMPROVE WINDOWS XP PERFORMANCE

Defragmenting on hardisk won't do much to improve your Windows XP performance. It is better to buy several part of your computer rather than to buy defragmentation software. Here are some tips to improve pc. This is not step by step but free to start on which is more possible and easy to done.

• If a PC has less than 512 MB of RAM, add more memory. This is a relatively inexpensive and easy upgrade that can dramatically improve system performance.
• Ensure that Windows XP is utilizing the NTFS file system. If you're not sure, here's how to check: First, double-click the My Computer icon, right-click on the C: Drive, then select Properties. Next, examine the File System type; if it says FAT32, then back-up any important data. Next, click Start, click Run, type CMD, and then click OK. At the prompt, type CONVERT C: /FS:NTFS and press the Enter key. This process may take a while; it's important that the computer be uninterrupted and virus-free. The file system used by the bootable drive will be either FAT32 or NTFS. I highly recommend NTFS for its superior security, reliability, and efficiency with larger disk drives.
• Disable file indexing. The indexing service extracts information from documents and other files on the hard drive and creates a "searchable keyword index." As you can imagine, this process can be quite taxing on any system. The idea is that the user can search for a word, phrase, or property inside a document, should they have hundreds or thousands of documents and not know the file name of the document they want. Windows XP's built-in search functionality can still perform these kinds of searches without the Indexing service. It just takes longer. The OS has to open each file at the time of the request to help find what the user is looking for. Most people never need this feature of search. Those who do are typically in a large corporate environment where thousands of documents are located on at least one server. But if you're a typical system builder, most of your clients are small and medium businesses. And if your clients have no need for this search feature, I recommend disabling it. To disable file indexing double-click the My Computer icon. Next, right-click on the C: Drive, then select Properties. Uncheck "Allow Indexing Service to index this disk for fast file searching." Next, apply changes to "C: subfolders and files," and click OK. If a warning or error message appears (such as "Access is denied"), click the Ignore All button.
• Update the PC's video and motherboard chipset drivers. Also, update and configure the BIOS.
• Empty the Windows Prefetch folder every three months or so. Windows XP can "prefetch" portions of data and applications that are used frequently. This makes processes appear to load faster when called upon by the user. That's fine. But over time, the prefetch folder may become overloaded with references to files and applications no longer in use. When that happens, Windows XP is wasting time, and slowing system performance, by pre-loading them. Nothing critical is in this folder, and the entire contents are safe to delete.
• Once a month, run a disk cleanup. Double-click the My Computer icon. Then right-click on the C: drive and select Properties. Click the Disk Cleanup button it's just to the right of the Capacity pie graph and delete all temporary files.
• In your Device Manager, double-click on the IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers device, and ensure that DMA is enabled for each drive you have connected to the Primary and Secondary controller. Do this by double-clicking on Primary IDE Channel. Then click the Advanced Settings tab. Ensure the Transfer Mode is set to "DMA if available" for both Device 0 and Device 1. Then repeat this process with the Secondary IDE Channel.
• Upgrade the cabling. As hard-drive technology improves, the cabling requirements to achieve these performance boosts have become more stringent. Be sure to use 80-wire Ultra-133 cables on all of your IDE devices with the connectors properly assigned to the matching Master/Slave/Motherboard sockets. A single device must be at the end of the cable; connecting a single drive to the middle connector on a ribbon cable will cause signaling problems. With Ultra DMA hard drives, these signaling problems will prevent the drive from performing at its maximum potential. Also, because these cables inherently support "cable select," the location of each drive on the cable is important. For these reasons, the cable is designed so drive positioning is explicitly clear.
• Remove all spyware from the computer. Use free programs such as AdAware by Lavasoft or SpyBot Search & Destroy. Once these programs are installed, be sure to check for and download any updates before starting your search. Anything either program finds can be safely removed. Any free software that requires spyware to run will no longer function once the spyware portion has been removed; if your customer really wants the program even though it contains spyware, simply reinstall it.
• Remove any unnecessary programs and/or items from Windows Startup routine using the MSCONFIG utility. Click Start, click Run, type MSCONFIG, and click OK. Click the StartUp tab, then uncheck any items you don't want to start when Windows starts. Unsure what some items are? Visit the WinTasks Process Library. It contains known system processes, applications, as well as spyware references and explanations. Or quickly identify them by searching for the filenames using Google or another Web search engine.
• Remove any unnecessary or unused programs from the Add/Remove Programs section of the Control Panel.
• Turn off any and all unnecessary animations, and disable active desktop. In fact, for optimal performance, turn off all animations. Windows XP offers many different settings in this area. Here's how to do it: First click on the System icon in the Control Panel. Next, click on the Advanced tab. Select the Settings button located under Performance. Feel free to play around with the options offered here, as nothing you can change will alter the reliability of the computer only its responsiveness.
• If your customer is an advanced user who is comfortable editing their registry, try some of the performance registry tweaks offered at Tweak XP.
• Visit Microsoft's Windows update site regularly, and download all updates labeled Critical. Download any optional updates at your discretion.
• Update the customer's anti-virus software on a weekly, even daily, basis. Make sure they have only one anti-virus software package installed. Mixing anti-virus software is a sure way to spell disaster for performance and reliability.
• Make sure the customer has fewer than 500 type fonts installed on their computer. The more fonts they have, the slower the system will become. While Windows XP handles fonts much more efficiently than did the previous versions of Windows, too many fonts -- that is, anything over 500 -- will noticeably tax the system.
• Do not partition the hard drive. Windows XP's NTFS file system runs more efficiently on one large partition. The data is no safer on a separate partition, and a reformat is never necessary to reinstall an operating system. The same excuses people offer for using partitions apply to using a folder instead. For example, instead of putting all your data on the D: drive, put it in a folder called "D drive." You'll achieve the same organizational benefits that a separate partition offers, but without the degradation in system performance. Also, your free space won't be limited by the size of the partition; instead, it will be limited by the size of the entire hard drive. This means you won't need to resize any partitions, ever. That task can be time-consuming and also can result in lost data.
• Check the system's RAM to ensure it is operating properly. I recommend using a free program called MemTest86. The download will make a bootable CD or diskette (your choice), which will run 10 extensive tests on the PC's memory automatically after you boot to the disk you created. Allow all tests to run until at least three passes of the 10 tests are completed. If the program encounters any errors, turn off and unplug the computer, remove a stick of memory (assuming you have more than one), and run the test again. Remember, bad memory cannot be repaired, but only replaced.
• If the PC has a CD or DVD recorder, check the drive manufacturer's Web site for updated firmware. In some cases you'll be able to upgrade the recorder to a faster speed. Best of all, it's free.
• Disable unnecessary services. Windows XP loads a lot of services that your customer most likely does not need. To determine which services you can disable for your client, visit the Black Viper site for Windows XP configurations.
• If you're sick of a single Windows Explorer window crashing and then taking the rest of your OS down with it, then follow this tip: open My Computer, click on Tools, then Folder Options. Now click on the View tab. Scroll down to "Launch folder windows in a separate process," and enable this option. You'll have to reboot your machine for this option to take effect.
• At least once a year, open the computer's cases and blow out all the dust and debris. While you're in there, check that all the fans are turning properly. Also inspect the motherboard capacitors for bulging or leaks.

Boot Camp-Troubleshooting Hardware Bootup Problems

This guide deals with troubleshooting a PC that won't boot to the point where it at least starts loading an operating system (hardware related problem). This article is intended for a person who has a little knowledge of PC's and is comfortable opening up and working inside a PC. If this isn't you, then I recommend taking your PC to a qualified PC repair shop. This is meant as a general troubleshooting guide and by no means covers every scenario that can occur, any omissions or mistakes were not intentional and will be updated as necessary.
Now let's get started..

Keep it Simple

First and foremost, I cannot stress enough that when it comes to troubleshooting PC's, KEEP IT SIMPLE! You will save yourself a lot of time and effort if you start looking for the simplest and most obvious solutions first.
With that being said here is a list of a few things you should start checking first..

1. Check the Power Cable (reason: ensure the PC is getting power and that the problem isn't simply a bad power cable)

a. Is it plugged into the back of the PC tightly?
b. Is it plugged into a power source?
c. If it is connected to a power bar --- is the power bar plugged in and turned on?
d. If possible try a different power cord and/or power bar
e. Is a breaker blown in the building? Try a different wall plug

2. Check the monitor
(reason: make sure the monitor is still working. When you boot a PC you expect to see something on the monitor, if you don't, one may think their PC isn't working when in fact there is something wrong with the monitor)

a. Is the power cable plugged in tight to the back of the monitor?
b. Is the power cable plugged into a power source?
c. If it is connected to a power bar --- is the power bar plugged in and turned on?
d. Is the monitor turned on?
e. Is the monitor's video cable plugged tightly into the video card on the PC?
f. Are the contract and brightness settings of the monitor adjusted correctly?
g. If possible try a different monitor.

3. Visually check the power supply
(reason: a PC may boot to a point with a failing power supply but can quickly overheat causing it to the PC to stop functioning)

a. Does the fan turn when the PC is turned on?
b. Does it feel hot to the touch?
c. Do any lights come on when the PC power button is pressed?

4. Check the keyboard
(reason: a PC needs a keyboard to boot, most times if there is a keyboard problem a message will be displayed on the screen, however this may not always be the case and the computer may just stop booting)

a. Is the keyboard connected to the PC?
b. If possible try a different keyboard.

5. Check the floppy and CD drive
(reason: when a PC boots, by default it will try and boot from the floppy or CD drive first. If there is a disk in either of these drives even if it is not a bootable disk, the PC may try to boot from the disk. Most times an error is displayed when it can't boot from the disk but this isn't always the case)

a. Is there a disk in the floppy drive?
b. Is there a disk in the CD drive?

A person may think that it is a waste of time to check such simple things and want to skip the above checklist. I cannot count how many times I have been called to troubleshoot a PC only to find that a power bar was turned off or there was a disk in the floppy or CD drive. Take the time now to check the easy things--- I guarantee you it will save a lot of headaches and frustrations.
Advanced Troubleshooting
When a computer is first turned on, the hardware runs a Power-On Self Test (POST). If errors are encountered during this POST test, they are usually indicated by a beep or in the form of a code displayed on the screen. With this error code you can determine what part of the system is having problems and find a solution. You have probably heard a beep code in the past and just not realized it. You know the one or two short beeps your computer makes when you first turn it on, that is a beep code indicating everything checks out OK. With some PC's it may seem like there isn't any beep code, what is probably happening here is there is a problem with the internal speaker inside the PC, it is either not present, not functioning any longer or not connected properly to the motherboard. If this is the case in your instance, check to see a visual code is being displayed on the monitor, if nothing then skip ahead to the next section.
To check for an error code on your PC, turn the computer on and listen for any beeps or look on the monitor screen for a code. As I mentioned, one or two short beeps indicates everything is OK, if you experience any different sequence or length of beeps, write down what you heard, (e.g. 1 long beep followed by two short beeps) or write down the error code on the screen. Error codes vary from PC to PC depending on the manufacturer of the motherboard inside the PC. It would be beyond the scope of this guide to include every manufacturer error codes as some may be missed and some may change as new technology is introduced. Performing a search on the Internet using your favorite search engine will find many sites specific to your PC. They will have a list of codes, what they mean and potentially how to fix them, look for the code you wrote down previously. The hardware generally checked by the POST test is the motherboard, CPU, power supply, memory and video card. If the error code indicates a problem in one of these areas, make sure all cards in the PC are seated correctly in the motherboard slots and that the power supply cables are connected snuggly to the motherboard. If all of this has been done and you still receive an error code then chances are the device has failed and will need to be replaced.
If the POST test doesn't reveal the source of the problem the next step is to open up the PC.
Staying with the theme of keeping it simple we will want to try and start the PC with the minimum hardware required to boot a computer. All you need to boot a PC is the motherboard, memory, some sort of media (floppy disk, hard disk, CD, etc.) and a video card. What we will want to do is remove or disconnect any unnecessary hardware.

1. Leave one form of media drive connected to boot with, preferably the floppy drive if available, and disconnect all other drives.
2. Remove all cards except for the video card.
3. Remove all memory except for one stick
4. Insert bootable media (floppy disk, CD, etc.) and power on the PC

If the PC doesn't boot with the minimum hardware then the problem may lie with the video card, memory or the motherboard. Try using a different stick of memory if you have one as well try using a different video card. Friends and family can be great sources for this, ask to borrow their video card or memory from their PC, just make sure to return it when you are done. If swapping the memory and video card don't work then you more than likely have a problem with the motherboard and it will need to be replaced.
If it does boot.

1. Turn it off
2. Insert or connect one hardware device that was previously removed
3. Try booting again.
4. Repeat these steps until the computer no longer boots.

Once the PC doesn't boot again the last hardware device that was connected is the problem and should be replaced or permanently removed.
If you get to this point and your PC still doesn't want to load an operating system then it is time to have a qualified computer technician look at the problem or purchase a new PC. You gave it your best shot but sometimes a fresh set of eyes can see something that may have been missed.

2. Discharge by Software
CMOS ROM can be discharged by software way. Then help you to solve the password problem. Follow these method, use the prompt “DEBUG”, all things to be easy.

Clear Award Password
C: \>DEBUG

- o 70 34
- o 71 34
- q
or
- o 70 11
- o 71 ff
- q

Clear AMI Bios Password
C: \>DEBUG
- o 70 16
- o 71 16
- q
or
- o 70 10
- o 71 0
- q

Note: the setup of CMOS BIOS will be erased during the discharge, so the computer is able to running until you reset it. If it is COMPAQ computer, you’d better get a floppy disk which save CMOS program first, then do the discharge, or else it is easy to discharge but hard to recover.

3. Hardware Jumper Discharge to CMOS BIOS
All the computers could discharge to CMOS BIOS by switch or jumper, and clear any prompt (system booting prompt, CMOS setup prompt, key lock prompt). There are examples for the particularity of CMOS of some Original packaging computer:
The discharge of COMPAQ and AST is finished by close/open the switch, but except the state power off, follow these steps:

a. After the external power is turned off, push SW1 and SW1-2 to “on”.
b. External power is turned on. Restart the computer.
c. Wait for 1to 5 minutes, turn off the computer.
d. Push SW1 and SW1-2 to “off”
e. Turn on the computer, enter CMOS setup to reset it.

Most of motherboard discharge to CMOS by jumper, and for the different board, the pin is different. During the discharge, read the user’s guide of motherboard first, if the state of CMOS discharge jumper pin is not included in it, to check that whether there are signs on the motherboard, such as “Exit Batter”, “Clean CMOS”, “CMOS ROM Reset”. If you find these sign, connect the pin of switch, or else, remove the battery.

Handling handphone viruses without to flash it.

If your cell phone always sending file via Bluetooth to other Bluetooth active phone while its look turned off, it most likely that your phone infected with virus. It is hard to clean viruses when its infecting the internal phone memory rather than when infected only external memory. Because when only infect the external memory we can cure it by plug it off phone and plug in to antivirus updated computer and scan it. The most easy way (for me) is by using smart file manager software. The software can easily open the phone system file as windows explorer and delete file even the file is still running the software will stop it and then delete it. The software built up with some operations to open and to send the file via infrared or Bluetooth. If you don’t know where the original phone system files and which one virus file the easy way is to send the file to the computer and scan it one by one. But most of viruses using random file name while the type is application so be aware to running such kind application.
Download smart file manager here. Extract and copy it to system\apps directory.

Search Engine Optimization Techniques

From big corporate to small scale industries, it is imperative to have high ranking website listing in search engine. Search Engine Optimization means that your site will be analyzed and then improved to make it possible for Search Engines to index and rank it. If your web site does not rank well, optimization helps that your web site will be found in the first upcoming pages of the search results. This can vary from ranking very high in Google to good in Yahoo and excellent in MSN. We cannot predict in which Search Engine the best ranking will take place because they work in different ways.

If you want web browsers to visit your site, than focusing on search engine optimization and search engine marketing is a must. No internet marketing plan is complete without ensuring that your site is submitted and included on major directories like Google, Yahoo!, and MSN. The dollars spent on Search Engine Marketing of any type will pay huge dividends.

SEO Process

Keywords are the building blocks of SEO. Although the days of the keyword meta tag being the golden ticket to top rankings are undoubtedly over, keywords themselves are still one of the most important aspects of good SEO. Just their application has changed. It's not about stuffing a hundred keywords into meta tags or your copy to get rankings. It's about uncovering the keywords that make the most sense for your business and using them in a way that drives targeted, qualified traffic to your site.

The process of uncovering and selecting the appropriate keywords for your site is called keyword research . Very simply, it involves undertaking an often painstaking investigation to discover what terms people search for, how often, and how many and which other sites appear for those terms. Keyword research is a strategic exercise that enables you to determine which queries your site is most relevant for and for which you can feasibly expect a return, then optimize your site accordingly.

Site Optimization is the process of specifically designing your web pages to rank high in the Search Engines. It may be On-Page or Off-Page Optimization. On-Page optimization includes optimizing Title tags, Meta tags, ALT tags, H1 tags, URL structure, internal link building, keyword density and site maps ,etc. Off-Page Optimization includes Robots.txt file creation, Directory submission, Link Building (one way or two way), Ad words, Blog creations, RSS feeds Submission, Link ranks , etc.

After optimizing your site and web content, submit it to all the search engines like Google, Yahoo!, MSN, Alta Vista, and others. SEO isn't about instant gratification. Results often take months to see, and this is especially true the smaller you are, and the newer you are to doing business online.

SEO isn't a one-time event. Search engine algorithms change regularly, so the tactics that worked last year may not work this year. SEO requires a long-term outlook and commitment.

SEO & 3 Reasons Why it is Important

After being completely focused on web design and internet marketing for the last two years I am now fully aware of the importance of S.E.O. However most small business owners do not even know what SEO is, let alone how important it is to the success of marketing their business online.

What exactly is Search Engine Optimization?

Basically it is the things you do to a website, on and off the page that get your website listed on the search engines when someone is looking for what you are offering on the internet.

The better you optimise you website for your particular keywords (the search terms you want to be found for online) the higher up the search engines your website will appear.

SEO is important for any business that is trying to successfully get new clients via the internet. The purpose of SEO is to improve the amount and quality of traffic to your website through the search engines and the natural or organic search results.

If you site is not optimized for the search engines it is not going to be ranked when potential customers are searching the internet for what you do. As there is so much competition in business these days, if you can get your website higher up in the search engines than your competitors it is obviously going to give you a big advantage over them when people are searching for the types of products or services you offer.

Often, when a website is built, there is not usually enough thought or attention put into the S.E.O. of that site in the initial build. S.E.O. is easier to do than you probably think, by just following a series of simple steps you can get your site high up in the search engine rankings and receive more traffic from potential customers.

So the main 3 reasons why S.E.O. is important are:

1) More Traffic - The higher up the search engines your website appears the more visitors your website will receive, and if your website is a business website then those visitors are likely to be potential customers.

2) It is Free - Once the SEO is working for you potentially it is free marketing, as the clicks to your website are not costing you any extra money.

3) Credibility - If your website appears at the top of search engines then your potential customers or website visitors can perceive you as being the best in your field, which will go a ling way in improving your credibility.

Search Engine Optimization - Get it Right to Increase Your Traffic

Search Engine results are what will ultimately lead to more traffic on your web site. It is a fact that people who find your site through search engines are more likely to translate into business and buy your products.

To do this you need to first analyze the traffic that is coming on to your site. You need to know the search engines that are directing customers to the site, the keywords that they are using to reach it and any other sites that are directing the traffic to you. Lastly you need to know what amount of traffic is actually converting to sales for you.

Once you have got an idea of the keywords that are getting you the maximum traffic you need to re-examine your web site and see whether you can take advantage of these keywords and increase the traffic to it.

This calls for optimization of your web page and rewriting the content so that the keyword content actually takes it to the top of the list when these key words are searched for by any user on the web.

See if you can link up with sites that are about the same subject as your website and whether they will agree to a link up with you. If the site is more popular than yours, you could benefit from incidental users from that site.

Make sure that your website design is such that it attracts visitors and ensures that they stay on the site and are able to easily navigate within your site. If this becomes difficult for the user it is quite likely that he will just abandon your site.

Every website needs more traffic. By optimizing your keywords properly you will help get better placement for your website on the search engines.
