Autorun infection

For Windows…

Since I can not remember name of the infection causing, I had once removed manually from my computer. However, as I remember results, I was unable to enter drivers from my computer. Double click but nothing…

Anyway, I see that now I cant enable “show hidden files” from explorer. So I came up with this [1] from Experts-Exchange which is a great source.

I ran the script for registry (double-click):
hebele.reg file content:
—————————–

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden]
"Text"="@shell32.dll,-30499"
"Type"="group"
"Bitmap"=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,00,74,\
  00,25,00,5c,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,53,00,\
  48,00,45,00,4c,00,4c,00,33,00,32,00,2e,00,64,00,6c,00,6c,00,2c,00,34,00,00,\
  00
"HelpID"="shell.hlp#51131"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\NOHIDDEN]
"RegPath"="Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Advanced"
"Text"="@shell32.dll,-30501"
"Type"="radio"
"CheckedValue"=dword:00000002
"ValueName"="Hidden"
"DefaultValue"=dword:00000002
"HKeyRoot"=dword:80000001
"HelpID"="shell.hlp#51104"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL]
"RegPath"="Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Advanced"
"Text"="@shell32.dll,-30500"
"Type"="radio"
"CheckedValue"=dword:00000001
"ValueName"="Hidden"
"DefaultValue"=dword:00000002
"HKeyRoot"=dword:80000001
"HelpID"="shell.hlp#51105"

Now everything seems okay. I can enable showing hidden files.

Isn’t there just any way to remove that underline and blue effect from hyperlinks in Microsoft Office

Underlined links

Underlined links

(Word, Excel, OneNote) for bulk of lines?

Can’t believe…

Windows Explorer file sort criteria changing

Posted: 15.12.2007 | Author: | Filed under: Microsoft | 1 Comment »
As Gnome users know, you could simply get into preferences of your file explorer and choose sort criteria (file size, file name -default, file size, …) of listing files.

However in windows explorer (at least in windows xp I am using), it is hard to handshake with windows to let you see your files in “type” ordering.

Microsoft suggests you to enter windows explorer click on “Type” column to sort and then to make it permanent preference for ever, enter Tools -> Folder Options -> View menu and then click on “Apply to All Folders” button.

BUT, it is ridiculous that it does not work. I have tried to use Microsoft’s Tweak UI application. To be frank, I have never used a third party software to be sure it is possible with core system functions.

Anyways, I have done it and happy now. Here is how I did it:

I opened Start -> Run. Entered “C:\windows”… Then in the newly opened explorer I have sorted according to “Type” by clicking “Type” column header. Then in the same windows’s Folder Options -> View menu window, I have unchecked “Remember each folder’s view settings”.

Thereafter, clicked firstly on “Reset All Folders” button, then “Apply to All Folders” button. Then closed the window.

It was ready for me then.

Long word short, I think Microsoft herein deserves another applause from me by making me believe “windows makes your wish with one click despite linux can’t” indeed.
