To Hide A Drive From Appearing In Windows Explorer

This method can be used only on Windows XP Professional Edition.

1.Open the Group Policy Editor (Start > Run, type in “gpedit.msc” and press [Enter]).
2.Go to User Configuration > Administrative Templates> Windows Components > WindowsExplorer.
3.Here, you’ll find “Hide these specified drives in My Computer” and “Prevent access to drives from My Computer”.
4.The difference between the two settings is that “Prevent access” will allow the user to see the drive icon, but will give an error message when he tries to access it.
5.“Hide” will remove the icon so the user won’t see it, but the drive can still be accessed by using Start > Run and keying in the drive letter.
6.Under this setting, after you click the radio button next to “Enable”, you’ll see several options. Choose the one you want to
apply, for example, “Restrict A and B drivesonly”. You’ll notice that the options here are restricted; you cannot, for example,
choose to restrict drives A, B and D.

Windows 7 keyboard shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts Keyboard shortcuts are combinations of two or more keys that, when pressed, can be used to perform a task that would typically require a mouse or other pointing device. Keyboard shortcuts can make it easier to interact with your computer, saving you time and effort as you work with Windows and other programs. Most programs also provide accelerator keys that can make it easier to work with menus and other commands. Check the menus of programs for accelerator keys. If a letter is underlined in a menu, that usually means that pressing the Alt key in combination with the underlined key will have the same effect as clicking that menu item. Pressing the Alt key in some programs, such as Paint and WordPad, shows commands that are labeled with additional keys that you can press to use them. You can also create new keyboard shortcuts to open programs. For more information, see Create keyboard shortcuts to open p...

Từ viết tắt trong email

Viết tắt kèm số Một trong những cách viết tắt rất được ưa thích trong email tiếng Anh là dùng số, hoặc hoàn toàn (như 121 = one to one, tức "tay đôi"), hoặc thưỡng xuyên hơn là dùng chen vào các mẫu tự để tạo ra một chuỗi ký tự trong bí hiểm như một mật mã hay một công thức toán học (như m8 = mate). Các số hay được dùng là 1, 2, 4, 8 mà trong đó các số 1, 2, 4 thường được dùng thay thế cho một từ (one, two/to/too, và four/for), còn 8 thì dùng thay cho một phần của từ (như w8 = w+eight tức weight hoặc wait; hoặc l8r = l+eight+r = later - quả là nghịch ngợm hết chỗ nói phải không?) Sau đây là một số từ hay gặp và nghĩa của chúng. 121 = one to one 2u = to you 2u2 = to you too b4 = before b4n = bye for now cul8r = see you later f2f = face to face g2g = got to go h2 = how to gr8 = great/grate ilu2 = I love you too ily4e = I love you forever m8 = mate l8r = later w8 = wait/weight w8ing = waiting Ghép thành từ mới Một cách viết tắt khác rất hay được dùng trong email tiếng Anh là viế...
