Know more details about svchost.exe

If we open Task Manager (Ctrl + Alt + Del) in the system windows XP or Vista, it will be more visible to the svchost.exe. Not just one but two are often seen quite a lot. But sometimes we do not know what the actual process is executed by svchost.exe, and how much we eat Memory.

In CodePlex, open source community project Microsoft, there is a small program that can make it easier for us to know more detail about svchost.exe.

SvchostViewer name, this small application, such as the name in a special design to see more detail about what is run by svchost.exe. Although we can find out more detail with Process Explorer from sysInternalls, but with this application more easily pengunaannya.

This software will make a scan (search) of svchost.exe running on the system and will appear in the Treeview, including applications that run detail, some features svchostViewer following:

* Seeing all of svchost.exe running on your computer
* Provide details of each sub-process and each process / application are executed.
* Showing the use of Memory (RAM), the size of data in the process and the "thread" is active for each svchost.exe
* Description of each process is executed and the program path (the location parameter in the file and run it).

Because this application only viewer, then we can not change, change the settings of the application that appears. This application does not need to install, and measuring only around 49 KB. To be able to run it necessary specifications:

* Windows XP SP2 and Vista
* Microsoft. NET Framework version 2.0 or above

If you are a C # programmer, it can also Download the Source Code is to be learned or developed.

Hide folder (data) with significant Hide Folders

Sometimes we have data that not every person can see it, especially when used with a computer, the privacy issues sometimes become important. Although the windows have been providing facilities folder lock but this function is still a lot of weaknesses (sometimes not enough)

To overcome this, we can use free software to hide files and folders, Hide Folders.

Hide Folders is a program with the view that a simple and very easy to use. We live to add a folder that you want to hide in the list that appears in the Hide Folders. Once we activate the menu (icon) Hide the files and folders will be "lost" from view.

Although simple, but powerful enough Hide Folders. Folders that have been hidden can not be accessed, viewed in the search (search) or in the clear. Other users will not know the existence of this folder. And there is no limit on the number of folders that can at Hide (hide).

Following features Hide Folders

* Hide folder or data essential to the safe
* Running on Windows XP and Vista.
* Support file format system: NTFS, FAT32 and FAT
* Folders in hidedn can not be in the open / access the uninstall program.
* Number of folders that are hidden can not be limited.
* Even in Safe Mode, the folder remains hidden
* Working quickly realtif
* Display simple (and easy to use)

System needed

* Operating System: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 2003, support the file system: NTFS, FAT32 and FAT
* Must have Administrator access rights.
* Not recommended to install on computers that already have similar programs (using the techniques hide the folder)

Hide Folder to be installed on the computer and can not run as portable application. But after the install, we can move applications from the installation folder (eg C: \ Program Files \ HFolders) to separate such Flashdisk place for us to access the computer, not computer people. However, to uninstall must return to the original folder (the original).

Use

1. Open Hide Folder
2. Click the "Add Folder" to add the folders you want hidden
3. Then click the "Hide" to hide.
4. To display a particular folder live menghlangkan check in the appropriate folder.

Program without the password will be the same, because it provided the password to open / use this Hide Folders. And be sure to remember this password, because even though the uninstall, the folder that has been hidden will not be back again so it appears.


If you forget a password or when the uninstall program, and we can not access data that is hidden, then we are still able to open or access the folders through a bootable CD like UBCD4Win, Ubuntu Linux or Windows operating system through the other. Hard drives can also be opened in another computer to access the folder. So I think this application is quite safe.

Tips Flashdisk Format with NTFS file system

Some of us may be less attention to the file system type used Flashdisk us, whether it is NTFS, FAT32 or FAT. To find out the file system is used, right-click Flashdisk in Windows Explorer and select Properties. Here it is seen that type of File System is used.

But when we try to mem-format through windows Explorer, there may not have the NTFS, the FAT and FAT32 only. How do I mem-NTFS format and what is the difference with the FAT and FAT32?

Why NTFS?

NTFS format is a file system after the latest Windows FAT32, and have several advantages such as the ability to store additional information about the file / folder (metadata), security features, data compression, a better structure and more.

In addition, the type of NTFS can be used to format mem-size is greater, for only 2 GB FAT, FAT32 8 TB (8,000 GB), while NTFS can be up to 16 EB (16 million TB). Nevertheless, there remain only NTFS kekurangannya, such as not legible in the Win9x and the read write to disk more often.

Because each file / folder store more information (metadata), then read the writing process each file / folder will be more common than type FAT32 or FAT, so that for the flash, affect age (resistance). Given the memory limitations Flashdisk have read the writing. (Article about keeping to be more durable flash can be read here: Characteristics and Tips Flashdisk maintain more durable)

Enabling NTFS format in Windows Explorer

We can only mem-format USB Flashdisk with type NTFS with the help of HP USB Format Tools. But the actual Windows Explorer can do. To activate the following steps can be followed

1. Open System Properties with the right click My Computer> Properties (or a keyboard with buttons Win + Break)
2. Open the Hardware tab and then click the Device Manager
3. Select Disk Drive and select Flashdisk in which you want to format with NTFS, right click, select Properties.
4. Once open select the Policies tab
5. Select Optimize for performance, and click OK

6. Then try right-click the flash drive in Windows Explorer and select the Format menu, then there should appear NTFS File System.

To note when this option is enabled, each flash should always pull out through the Safety Remove Hardware. If the option is "Optimize for quick removal" is actually the flash can be removed immediately, without the Safety Remove Hardware

Test between NTFS, FAT32 and FAT

I have tried some of the comparison (especially the process to copy data) type with different, and the results are as follows:

11 * Copy the file (the size of each around 170 MB) total about 1.8 GB
NTFS 04:44 (4 minutes 46 seconds)
FAT32 05:09 (5 minutes 9 seconds)
FAT 04:46 (4 minutes 46 seconds)
1297 * Copy files (size between 1 KB to 23 KB) with a total of 8.23 MB
NTFS 29 seconds
FAT32 56 seconds
FAT 58 seconds
* Capacity in the format
NTFS 2,038,044,672 bytes Used space 12,937,216 bytes (12.3 MB)
FAT32 2,046,959,616 bytes Used space 4096 bytes (4.00 KB)
FAT 2,050,686,976 bytes Used Space 0 bytes

Copy the visible data with NTFS, relatively quickly, but after the size of the format a little smaller because of the additional space required is greater for the file / folder (metadata). If the flash is often used to read and write process does not require the NTFS features, such as data security, then select the type FAT32 may be better.

Prevent Virus Autorun.inf make the Super Autorun

I had doubts the effectiveness of this way, because it thinks it easy for viruses to change, delete, and create a new autorun.inf file.

Some of this information I can after reading one of any posts in the blog WinPowerTips. Indeed, with only the file autorun.inf to make it, even though the system hidden attribute will be easily overcome by the virus. But there is described with three levels and the result is not easy to delete the file and try to make the virus Autorun.inf file with the usual way will fail.

The following short explanation of the level 3 (stages) to prevent the virus to create / modify the Autorun.inf file:

1. Prevent the virus to create the autorun.inf file on how to create a folder Autorun.inf. Because if you already have this folder then the Autorun.inf file will not be made.
2. Prevent virus remove Autorun.inf folder (with the usual way) by adding Unicode files inside. This fact can make the virus or error programmernya close if not overcome with good.
3. Prevents users Removing Autorun.inf folder with the folder not terhapuskan. Such as Microsoft own explanation that sometimes we can not remove file / folder name if the name is invalid (disability).

Explanation about the length of each level, please visit the blog directly the IT Guy is. Because there are also many tips-other interesting tips.

However, with 3 levels itupun, if virusnya (the virus) and the jelly can still overcome the virus and can still create Autorun.inf file to transmit itself.

Newer Magnetoresistive RAM (MRAM) many times faster than RAM

If you always desired for a fast computer, an ordinary RAM may just not be a solution. German physicists and engineers have thus developed the Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory (MRAM), which is not only faster but also more energy efficient. MRAM seems like it will boost the mobile computing industry and stores the level of charge by changing the north-south direction of a magnet’s field. IBM and other manufacturers are planning to use MRAM, which could spin electrons to flip the magnetic fields, which is also known as the spin-torque MRAM, something that the German physicists have further improvised and built the fastest so far.
