Recent Comments Widget for Blogger /Blogspot blogs !!

September 4th, 2008

image If your blogging platform  is Google’s Blogger, odds are you’ve banged your head against a wall at least a few times wondering why Blogger can’t be a bit more like WordPress or TypePad. While Blogger is incredibly easy to use, it’s a bit more difficult to customize. But with a bit of work, you can tweak your Blogger site to near-perfection.
For example, while Google doesn’t offer a “recent comments” widget,Blogger buster has created a simple widget generator that lets you build and add a recent comments section to your sidebar. You can customize how comments appear by choosing how many comments to display, whether to show the date or post titles, and how many characters to include in the preview.

How to hide a Drive in Windows Xp

August 5th, 2008

Sometimes for security/privacy reasons you need to hide a drive containing sensitive information then you can use the methods listed below ,

There are two ways of doing it, one from the group policy editor and the second from registry editor. I will explain both of them here:

1-Hiding drives using Group Policy Editor

Go to Start –> Run –> gpedit.msc
The group policy editor will open. Go to the following node:
User Configuration –> Administrative Templates –> Windows Components –> Windows Explorer
Now go to the right hand window and double click the value “Hide these specified drives in My Computer”, select enable and select the drives from the drop down menu.

This is restrictive in the sense that it only specifies drives up to D drive. Or all the drives can be hidden.

2-Hiding the drives using Registry Editor

To open the registry editor
Go to Start –> Run –> regedit

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE
\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer

In the right hand pane, right click –> new –> DWORD Value
Rename it to “NoDrives” (without quotes)

To calculate the value, add together the numbers for the drives you want to hide, using the formula: A=1, B=2, C=4, D=8, E=16, F=32, G=64, H=128, I=256 and so on. Put the result in the NoDrives key value. Remember to select decimal instead of HEX from the NoDrives key. For Example if I want to hide C and F drives, C+F = 4+32 = 36. Put the value 36 in NoDrives key.

Alternatively, you can use NoDrives!!! (NT Drive Calculator) for calculating the drive values. It’s a lot easier than calculating by hand.
