Secure your folder with Free Hide Folders

Posted by absnet on 22 November 2009

If we have important data that not everyone can see it, especially if the computer is shared, privacy issues to be quite important. Although windows have been providing facilities to lock folder, 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 a simple look and very easy to use. We just need to add folders into hide list that appears in the Hide Folders windows. Once we activate Hide files and folders menu (icon) so it would "disappear" from view.

hide_folders_screenshot 

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

The following are Hide Folders features:

  • Securely hide folders with your confidential data
    Works on Windows XP and Windows Vista, supports NTFS,
  • FAT32 and FAT file system.
    Password protection – folders can be unhid only after entering a password within the program.
  • Hidden folders can not be uncovered by deinstalling the program.
  • Unlimited number of folders can be hidden.
  • Folders are hidden even in Windows safe mode.
  • Fast and user-friendly skinned user interface.
  • Intuitive for usage, no learning curve.

Not recommended to install on computers that already have similar programs (using the technique to hide a folder)
Hide Folders should be installed on the computer and can not run as portable application. But after the install we can move the application from the installation folder (eg C: \ Program Files \ HFolders) into a separate container such as Flashdisk to access our computers, not other people’s computers. However, to uninstall to return to their home folder (the original).

How To Use

  • Click on Add Folder. The File Browser will show up.
    Navigate through File Browser to pick folder you want to hide. If you want to hide multiple folders repeat the operation for each folder you want to hide.
  • Click on "Hide" button. Refresh file view if needed. Selected folders will be hidden.
  • There is a check box next to each folder you selected. The "Hide" or "Unhide" operation will be executed on checked folders only. That is useful because you may have a larger number of hidden folders and you can hide/unhide number of them at the same time by checking the boxes on multiple folders.

Note:

If you forget your password or uninstalling the program, and we can not access data that is hidden, then we can open or access folders via a bootable CD like UBCD4Win, Ubuntu Linux or Windows operating system through another. Hard disk can also be opened on other computers to access the folder. So I think this application is secure.

WindMend Folder Hidden Review and How to

Posted by absnet on 22 November 2009

Now, we want to discuss the program to hide files and folders. We have a free program (freeware) who have hide files and folders capabilities, called WinMend Hidden Folders.

Here we will try to review the capabilities of this software on how safe the data is hidden.

Warning: Always remember your password when you use this kind of software. Because if you forget the password, it may be difficult to access the data again.

WindMend Hidden Folders program are free / freeware that can hide files and folders quickly both in the local partition or on removable drives such as Flash disks, and other External Hardisk.

Files / folders that are hidden will remain hidden even if the data accessed from other computers or from other operating systems in both the computer or from another computer. To access the data, you must provide the correct password.

More Features on WindMend Hidden Folders WinMend) are:

  • Safety First, the technology used does not damage the files or data and still maintain the security and reliability.
    High-Speed Hiding and Unhiding, capable of processing data quickly (instant) data in any size up to GB (GigaByte).
  • Support Removable Drives, able to hide missing something / folders in removable drives such as USB Flash Disk, External Hardisk and others. And this data is not visible on other computers.

How To Use

1. Download and Install the software from WindMend Website or here.

clip-image002-thumb1

Click Hide Folder then navigate to the folder you want to hide then click OK.

clip-image004-thumb1

The folder will remain hidden even if your folder option in Windows is set to Show Hidden files. The hidden folder will not be shown until you unhide it.  Hidden data can be displayed and unhidden only when the user enters the valid password.

clip-image006-thumb1

To unhide the hidden folder, check the check box beside the folder you want to unhide then click on the Unhide button. To set it back to hidden select the folder then click the Set to Hide Button.

clip-image008-thumb1

To hide a file, click Hide File(s) then navigate to the location of the file, click on the file and click open.

clip-image010-thumb1

To unhide the file, check the check box beside the file then click the unhide button. Click the Set to hide button to hide again the file.

clip-image012-thumb1

Note that upon your first log in to the program, you will be asked to enter and confirm your desired password. You will be using this password on the succeeding log in.  Based on WinMend’s documentation, this software is best for home use only – meaning it is not secured enough to secure more sensitive information like commercial and business data where more strict confidentiality is required.

Recommendation

Previously, I would recommend this program given the ability to hide data on removable drives, such as USB Flash. But after I tried, tested and analyzed, there was one weakness that I saw.

Indeed files / folders become invisible, but I saw the file / folder is hidden in the folder named Recycled. When we open this folder we will not see its contents. But this folder is deleted, it can be a disaster. The Recycled folder is not deleted, but the content will be deleted, so that our data hidden there also be deleted.

The same thing happen when we hide data on your hard drive. Actual data seems to be moved / stored in the RECYCLER folder, so when someone delete this folder, the data will be lost. Seeing this, if you still need this kind of software, you better use Hide Folders.

Investing in gold?

Posted by absnet on 21 November 2009

As we already know, for centuries gold has been confessed in its unique blend of near indestructibility, beauty, rarity and  its status as a universal currency. Empires and nations have sought to possess gold as a medium of international exchange, as a store of wealth and in order to increase and preserve power. Individuals have used gold as a store of wealth and as insurance against the fluctuations and depreciation of paper money and other macroeconomic and geopolitical risks. Perhaps no other market in the world has the universal appeal of the gold market.

Gold can be said to be the world’s most liquid investment trading throughout the world daily. The market never closes and, as a result, you can buy and sell Gold in any country at any time. It’s price relatively stable. Gold can form the cornerstone of a conservative or aggressive strategy because it tends to move in the opposite direction of paper investments.

gold-coins-images

Gold is the ultimate asset and the purest form of money. It is the oldest, most durable wealth-preserving asset on the planet.  Governments can’t devalue it.  It has no debts, no board of directors, no politicians or central bankers that can mess with its value.  That’s why gold has survived every economy history has ever witnessed, and preserved investors’ purchasing power over a span of some 5000 years.

for your investing security, diversification and risk management is key factor. You should not put all your investment in one type of asset. So a healthy portfolio should includes a wide range of assets including a variety of equities with exposures to different market sectors and regions; a variety of different countries bonds; a diversified property portfolio; a cash component and a 5-15% allocation to gold-related investments and gold bullion or gold coins.

Some exposure to gold should be included in all diversified portfolios. A good rule of thumb would be a minimum allocation of around 10% to gold and related gold-investments.

Gold bullion (gold in its physical form) is the ultimate safe haven asset and a great way, if not the best way, of ensuring wealth preservation and for passing wealth from one generation to the next. Once the solid base or core holding of gold bullion is achieved in a portfolio then other investments in gold such as mining stocks and mutual funds and other more speculative gold investments can be considered.

Gold is more accessible to the average person because an investor can easily purchase gold bullion, from a dealer or, in some cases, from a bank. However, with the advent of more advanced financial instruments, gold, along with other commodities, has become much easier to invest in without having to buy the physical metal. There are now exchange traded funds (ETF), that replicate the movements of the underlying commodity, giving investors direct exposure.

for a description on how valuable gold is, if you had purchased $25,000 of gold coin in the early 70’s and held on to it during the oil crisis, inflation, devaluation of the U.S. dollar, Savings and Loan scandal, recession, tech and internet bubble, cooked books, 911, and a real estate bubble you could sell that gold today for $524,999.00.

Great Tip for preparing Winter Activity

Posted by absnet on 19 November 2009

It’s November now. Winter will coming. Have you ready to face winter?.

Psychologists often tell us that winter can be a depressing time, for both adults and children. Weather considerations often keep people inside during the winter season. Is that happens for you?.

kids playing snow Of course not, because with suitable clothing, you still able to enjoy outside activities with your family, friends and colleague. You’ll be  comfortable, even at zero degrees Fahrenheit.

Since we are a warm-blooded, our core organs that keep us alive, including your head with its precious brain, needs to be a specific temperature – 98.6 degrees. If it gets too hot, over 105 degrees, or too cold, below 93 degrees, our life is threatened.

Good insulation and exercise make us warmer.  A tightly woven layer on the outside, such as windproof pants, jacket or coveralls, keeps the wind from stealing away the trapped warm air.

And most important is, use ugg boots, that’s keep your leg frozen. ugg proven to be great cold insulation, suitable for all ages. The models is up to date and fashionable. So, while you’re outside, don’t forget to choose suitable size, model and color that match your coat or jacket in ugg boots sale.

Now, If you’re going to be active outside even on cold days, the layers of clothing that made your first moments outdoors bearable may amount to too much insulation. Before you know it, you’re sweating inside all those layers. As you feel the warmth build, it’s time to peel off some of the clothes. Don’t neglect this because when most clothing gets wet, it loses its insulating value and can actually pull the heat right out of you.

A few tips to keep you from overheating: first, take off your hat. If you’re still too warm, replace your mittens with a pair of gloves. Next, lower the zippers on your coveralls or windproof parka. If you are still too warm, remove an inside layer. If you anticipate a substantial variation in exertion and outdoor temperature, it is wise to dress with several thin clothing layers (as opposed to a couple heavier layers) for maximum adjustment.

If you start to cool down, put layers back on: first your hat, then mittens, then an inside layer. You can fine-tune your comfort most easily by adding or subtracting a hat or mittens, and zipping or unzipping your parka.

Now, what’s great activities you can have to enjoy winter?

here’s some of them:

 

  1. Skiing or Snowboarding.
    If you are fortunate enough to live close to a ski resort, skiing is a fun sport that can really build memories.
    skiing
  2. Show-shoeing.
    A less expensive sport for people in snowy areas, show-shoeing offers some fun opportunities.
  3. Ice Skating.

  4. Tubing or Sledding. 
    In areas with snowy climates, there are often good tubing hills around which are safe but exciting. More and more municipalities are building storm detention ponds in and around parks, and these are very good sledding locations.

  5. Snow Painting.
    Some of our friends have taken up snow painting as a fun family activity. All you need is a few water bottles with a squirt top, some water and food coloring and some snow. Fill each bottle with water and some food coloring and then head outside. A little imagination and some creativity will result in some great works of art.
  6. Igloos and Snow Caves.
    If you have lots of snow, it can be fun to build a snow shelter like an igloo or snow cave.

Force India Speed Secret

Posted by absnet on 2 September 2009

Working Smart and Hit Rabbits

The Speed of  Force India-Mercedes at the Spa-Francorchamps make Formula 1 fans shook their heads. How can the"the worst" team has soared to the front, with Giancarlo Fisichella grabbed pole position and nearly won the Belgian Grand Prix?

The answer is not the magic of India. This success is  result of patience, a clever working way, plus the circumstances that make it possible. Also possibly, "smells of" good luck.

At the beginning of the season, Force India is not the slowest. In this most competitive season, less than two seconds per lap separating the fastest with the slowest.
Then testing restrictions limit the ability of richer teams to run away further from the others. While providing an opportunity for the  ‘poor’ teams to find the progress and stay close to the rich. Work smart and efficient use of budget, can be directly attached to the front.

Work smart, that is what Force India do. Remember, even though this team had existed a year ago, its base is a very experienced team. This team used to be Jordan, who later became Midland, and  Spyker, before change to Force India. F1 fan would know, Jordan is not a bad team. It’s smart team that can achieve maximum results with mediocre funds.

And at the beginning of the season, Force India is not bad. Several times Adrian Sutil likely reach points, but always failed because of various reasons, including getting out of track.

Remember too, they have a Mercedes-Benz engine, the same engine as that Brawn used. Not only the engine, Force India also use McLaren girboks. Thus, from the engine side, this is an elegant car. Just wrapped with a great chassis package, and they’ll be a competitive car.

Force India new speed is also already visible in the European Grand Prix, at Valencia, Spain, a week before the Belgian GP. The team came  there with the expected package. Because of limited fund, the new Force India just able to make significant car updates  in 11’s series. However, Force India technical team are able to work "smarter," discover exactly proper package.

The new package includes the front wings, aerodynamic accessories in addition to the car, and a new floor.
Although Force India fails to score point at Valencia, but its car performance there has been able to make the team owned by Vijay Mallya’s smiling to face the next competitions.

"I am very pleased with the performance of the team. We should be proud with the progress that we do," Mallya said in Valencia.

Before the race yesterday, Fisichela had praised the work of the Force India personnel at the team headquarters. "They have doing fantastic work considering our limited budget. I think our team works best in F1, which was better than Ferrari and McLaren," he said. "At the beginning of our season over nearly two seconds slower. Now it’s only a fraction of a second difference," he continued.

In Belgium, the situation contributing. Long circuit (more than seven miles) and flows provide an opportunity for the Force India car to show their abilities. Mercedes engines also push the car very well at the Spa straight long track.

Then, Fisichella skill and experience pushed the car more quickly. This 36 years driver was classified as master in Spa, repeatedly went to podium, including his first full season with Jordan-Peugeot, in 1997.

At Spa, there are also signs of "luck" during practice rounds last Saturday (29 / 8). At that time, Fisichella had hit a rabbit. "My engineer from British said , when we face something with rabbits, then it is a sign of good luck. If that’s true, then the next competitions around the circuit I will looking for more rabbits," said Fisichella after getting pole position.

In the next race, at Monza, Italy, September 13, later, Fisichella may not need to look for rabbits. If still with Force India (not drive for Ferrari), he had a strong capital to repeat the success in Belgium.

Monza circuit character is Super-fast , demanding a car with great engine and efficient chassis  aerodynamics. All that is now owned by the Force India. Podium again at Monza? Why not! Victory at Monza? Why not! From now on, never again underestimate the Force India.

Lorenzo is Back!

Posted by absnet on 1 September 2009

Win at Indy, Open Opportunity to be World Champion

Indianapolis – Watch out, Valentino Rossi. The struggle for the title of Moto GP 2009  world champion keep tight. And if you’re not careful, the title could be stolen by "yesterday born kid" and his team mate in the Fiat Yamaha, Jorge Lorenzo.

Surprisingly, Lorenzo stole the victory in Indianapolis Grand Prix, United States, last Sunday (30 / 8, yesterday morning GMT). In the same race, the two closest competitors, Rossi and Dani Pedrosa (Repsol Honda), were felt.

As a result, Lorenzo’s standing position was again strengthened. Before the race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Lorenzo left 50 points behind Rossi. Now, he’s only 25 points behind.

With five races remaining, providing a maximum 125 points, Lorenzo is still very possible to surpass Rossi and steal the title.

Lorenzo was well aware of this "new opportunity". And maybe that’s why, he confessed a bit sad with the situation now. If not make a mistake and fell in Jerez (Spain), Donington (UK), and Brno (Czech Republic), maybe now he’s at the top.

"I am very pleased but also a little sad after this race (at Indy, Red). I am sad to have make mistakes. Without any mistakes, my position would have been much better," he said through Italia1 television stations.

However, Lorenzo claimed  will not change his race style. "If we want to be world champion, we should be like this. To race the limits," he said.

Before GP Indianapolis, Lorenzo had already said would continue aggressive. And he proved it when the race on the legendary circuit. At the beginning of the race, Lorenzo was behind Pedrosa and Rossi.

On the fourth lap, Pedrosa felt himself. Then, on the ninth lap, Lorenzo forced to pass Rossi. One lap later, Rossi felt trying to keep pace with Lorenzo.

After that, Lorenzo virtually no competition until the competition ends on the 28th lap, finishing ten seconds in front of Alex de Angelis (Honda Gresini).

Re talking about the struggle for the title, Lorenzo insists that he will continue to appear aggressive. Moreover, the next race was held in Rossi homeland, Circuit Misano, Italy (San Marino GP, 6 / 9).

"Beating Valentino has always been a difficult job. In his homelad, would even more difficult. But I myself like Misano, and I will try to finish in front. At least in the order of big three," he explained. "Before this race (at Indy, Red), I said the world champion almost impossible to achieve. Now, the status is difficult, but still possible. And although difficult, we will not give up!" said.

Meanwhile, Rossi admit that Lorenzo race excellence in Indianapolis. He also claimed to have made his own mistakes, to take the race track wrongly when stalking Lorenzo.

"At first I did not understand why I fell. But after seeing the data, I found that I myself racing in the wrong line, extending about 1.5 meters from the track. I also put the brakes on the path of the dirty (and falling)," explained the Doctor.

Rossi confirmed, he could have "played safe," finishing second behind Lorenzo. However, he delivered the same opinion with the young drivers. That a driver must have the courage continue to push the limits.

"Maybe I could finish second, considering I had 50 points in winning the championship. But for me it might be too easy," he said jokingly.
