Shortcut Folder Virus

I have faced with problem before and its quite frustrating that I can't find a solution to help me with it because I didn't have any back-up for those data affected. The computer detects the data but when the folder is viewed it only has a few kbs of it. Before you delete the folder in fear of it attacking other folders, STOP!!

So how to solve this problem, just follow the steps below. No anti-virus or malware is needed in the process but it is recommended so that no virus can attack your pendrive again.

1. Plug-in your pendrive and remember the location, say (F:). Do not open the pendrive folder.
2. Open "Command Prompt". It should be Start Menu > All Programs > Accesories > Command Prompt.
3. Type these code: attrib -h -r -s /s /d f:\*.*
*note: f is the name of the folder. If the pendrive is located under (G:) then change the letter f in blue into g
4. After typing the code, press enter.
5. Retype the code above thrice (3 times).
6. Try to open the pendrive in the computer and see if the affected folder re-appears. If it doesn't, eject the pendrive then repeat steps 1-6 again.
7. When the affected folder re-appears, you can delete the shortcut folder.

This time I don't have any pictures for you guys to guide you through but I'm sure its easy enough to follow. Try it!

Free Stuff - Cafe World GIDs

Tired of asking from neighbours but they won't approve or you just don't have enough neighbours to ask around? I've had those problems but now my problems are over thanks to cafe gid (gift IDs), a glitch I learnt on the net.

Video Stuff - DIY Can Organizer

My mum was looking for a practical rack to design for her kitchen so I searched the net and I found a lot of pictures for storage ideas. The one my mum loved was the one below because it looks so neat.

I also stumbled upon this awesome pantry idea that works which is a can storage bin / can rotating rack / can organizer. You can purchase them here at CanOrganizer which is made out of cardboard and you are required to assemble them yourself since they come in flat packs. On the other hand, if you find them quite expensive you can make it yourself. The great idea of DIY is that you can customize it according to your own shelf and the cans that you buy. Below is an example of the pantry that uses the DIY can organizer; the origin of the DIY idea, The Pantry Panel. The best thing about this is that its based on the "first in first out" (FIFO) basis. So you will never have to worry about cans that are bought earlier but stocked at the back of the shelf making it hard to reach and before you know it, the food is expired.

 

The original idea came from the grandpa of the blogger The Pantry Panel but since there were some problems for them to post the idea on blogspot, the girls from Food Storage Made Easy was kind enough to post them on their website. You can get the so-called blueprint of the idea here and get the detailed instruction and step-by-step pictures here. So how does the outcome looks like? Enjoy the video below.

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 :)

Tying Neat Bows on Pressies

Thought I might share you this entry on gift-wrapping. I just love to give pressies to my buddies and loved ones. Some are small, some expensive. Nevertheless, I really do like to pay much attention on the presentation of the pressies. I'll make sure that they come in boxes and not just wrapped in any wrapping paper and the most particular thing is the bow that sits on top.

I like my bows to be big and fluffy just like the one on top. See, isn't it just stunning? Instead I find myself splurging money on useless things just coz I can't manage to make an exclusive bow. Yeah, it irritates me alot coz the price of the ribbon itself is expensive and the bow won't make it through long journeys on buses.





So I best thought that I should google up on how to make one myself. Pretty hard stuff finding it coz what is on the net are just basic bows that you tie on shoe laces.

The search took me to How to Tie a Tiffany Bow tutorial. Pretty~ but not what I was searching for.





Next was the How to Perfectly Wrap a Present for dummies. This link might help you guys who can't get the hang of wrapping the present. It's got lots of step-by-step instruction but only aided by one picture on each page so I don't know if it helps. Oh, but it does give you steps on how to wrap odd shaped presseies.





Lo-and-behold...


I eventually found the step by step instruction on how to tie the beautiful bow. It's in pdf format so all you need to do is just to download the link here on Gorgeous Gift Presentation. Like usual it links to the 4shared website. And yeah, it's easy to follow and it has other forms of bows and not just the ones I showed. This tutorial was taken from the Container~Stores website.





Happy gift-wrapping guys! :)
