UNHIDE Hidden Files due to Virus

I have been putting up with my pendrive that is infected with virus for a long time. It usually happens when I want to print at my university's library. As a result, all of the files that I once used to print especially word documents got infected.






At first I panicked because all of my hard effort was wasted since viruses are known to corrupt or destroy your files and folders. After scanning my pendrive using a normal anti-virus I managed to get rid of the virus. However, the files were still hidden. I did my homework and was determined to know how to solve this problem and with in just a few minutes I managed to do so. Yeay~!! No need for any software that will only clutter your computer. Just simple command.






This is how you do it.


First, for XP, you need to go to any windows explorer (which simply means the window you use to open any files). As shown below, I opened My Computer.

1. Click on Tools and then Folder Options.
2. In Folder Options, click on the View tab.
3. Check the Show hidden files and folders button.
4. Untick/uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (Recommended) button.
Last of all click Apply. Remember to close the Windows Explorer too before follwing the next step below.






Next what you need to do is open command which can be easily accessed at Start then go to Run and in the box type cmd then press Enter. On default, the files displayed is on C: so it is simply a matter of changing the location of your file. In my case, my pendrive located in F: is infected. So below (in red boxes) are the commands that I typed according to sequence.

1. Type the location of your file/folder followed by collon (:). Eg: f: Then press Enter
2. Type exactly as what I've shown here with the small stars, dots and spaces: attrib -s -r -h *.* followed by Enter.

If there are any malicious EXE files those are now visible so if unnecessary delete them too.

If you access is denied due to AUTORUN.INF, follow the third step below:
3. Standby one hand on your flash drive when you are about to press Enter.
Type del autorun.inf (Remember! On pressing Enter, remove your flash drive instantly.) and press Enter.






VOILA~!! That's about it. Then you can stick your flash drive back in and presume your work as normal. If you can't see any changes, that is because you didn't close your Windows Explorer when I told you to. It will just work out fine if you close it then open it back again. Good luck trying guys :)

p/s: I still cannot access to dafonts website for now. Hope the problem will be solved quickly because I love their collection of fonts so much ^_^

Looking for new fonts

I just love to look at adverts. Although I am not into designing, I find myself criticising on ads or packaging that does not appeal to my interest. One of the main factor wold have to be the fonts used.









Erk..where am I heading off to? Actually I wanted to tell you guys about this particular website that I love to go fishing for fonts. Yup, fonts. I started to like the different designs of fonts when I wanted to use them in my power point presentation. I hoped that by using different fonts it would've standed out a little better than all the rest and it did work...for those who have an eye for design though...






So, here's the link. Btw, as I'm blogging this, the webpage can't seem to load but I will let you guys now when their okay.






Below are some of the names of fonts that I like:
-Bleeding Cowboys
-ABite
-28 Days Later
-Riesling
-Top Secret
-Velocity
-Samarkan
-Capture It
-Champagne & Limousines






I haven't had the time yet to show you what it looks like because I don't have much time this morning to do so but I will update this post to let you guys see the sample of the fonts above and I will also post a tutorial on how to download and install the fonts to get it working for you. Just hope that the site will load so that I can show you how *fingers crossed* :)

Open in New Tab

I have always liked Mozilla for it's great "Open in New Tab" function because I can always come back to the original source to read for later if the link that I'm going to open is not what I had in mind/wanted and simply close the opened new tab without having to go back one page. However, my laptop's right click button is not working that good. I had to press harder to get it to work and no, I don't like to use the mouse too because I have to find the right surface for it to work.






So what's the solution to the problem? Simply hold down the "Ctrl" button whilst clicking on the link and voila! You've opened the link in a new tab.


Hold down "Ctrl" + click on desired link





Maybe you guys all ready now about this but I just found out about it. -_-'






But I know these functions below by heart and I know that you guys do too ;)

Free Online Speed Reading Software (Spreed)

Another "free" entry for you guys out there~






Sometimes I get frustated when I can't quite master the art of speed reading because my eyes can only scan through the words in an article but isn't able to pick up the words or digest what the article is all about. Well now I've found a solution to the answer. I stumbled upon this website when I was reading one of my all time favourite IsuHangat (I would categorize it under Gossip Blog even though it's not). It's an online speed reading software that is FREE to use.







The link is here. They provide you the basic version where you can just simply copy-paste an article be it online journals, notes or even e-books that you would like to finish quickly.







Just click on the pictures to enlarge.

All you need to do is just:
1- copy-paste the article in the space provided.
2- click on spreed, and then it will take you to the next page

A- Basicly tells you how many words you're reading and at what speed you're reading it.
B- Is the short cut keyboard function that has been set.

So if you're ready to spreed just click on:
1- To play
but if it's going a little bit too fast, just click on:
2- To edit the settings such as font size, font colour, background colour and words per minute.

Under the settings function there's also the advanced settings where you can choose to:
1- slow down on big chunks of word (i.e: encyclopedia)
2- start new chunks at end of sentences and paragraphs
3- slight pause at end of sentences or paragrpahs
4- skip over stopwords which add no additional meaning (i.e: an, the)





By the way, make sure you scan through the artice first to make sure that you're reading the right material before you spreed it so that you won't waste time figuring what the article is all about. Remember, spreeding is used to get the "meat" out of the article.


Happy Spreeding peeps :)
