Step 1:Plug the pendrive into your PC.


Step 2:Start command prompt:
  • Winkey+R  or Start-> Run
  • Type "cmd " , Hit Enter
Step 3:Type the following:

  • The following commnad
        attrib<sp> -s<sp> -h <sp>/s<sp> /d<sp> *.*
  • Wait until the prompt appears.
Note:<sp> refers to space the elements in the command.

Office 365

Microsoft is now previewing a major update to its cloud-enabled Office 365 office suite which will add Windows 8 support, along with a first-time "home" edition of a Web service once geared to businesses only. 

Microsoft Office 365 Review

Microsoft is now previewing a major update to its cloud-enabled Office 365 office suite which will add Windows 8 support, along with a first-time "home" edition of a Web service once geared to businesses only. Will the Office 13-based Office 365 Home Premium be right for you, or should you buy the retail software instead? Now that pricing for the "new Office" is available from Microsoft, we'll explore that question in this review of Home Premium.
The basic premise of Office 365 is this: Instead of dropping a bigger chunk of cash to buy a license for Microsoft Office 2013 outright, you'll be able to rent it from Microsoft for a monthly fee.

Google Docs Vs Office 365

With Google Docs, if you don't have Internet access, you don't have your software. Office 365 bypasses this issue by installing the apps on your PC, to give you some offline capability.

Virtual Private Networks:


Virtual private networks is a concept that will have a significant impact on the future of business communications. The virtual private network (VPN) offers a fresh, innovative approach to the traditional problem of supplying efficient, reliable, easy to use telecommunications for large, geographically dispersed groups of subscribers. 







  • VPN replaces existing private networks with a flexible architecture that is easily managed and at the same time provides enhanced services.
  •  As the number of business locations in the private network increases, so do the interconnect requirements and the network complexity.
  •  Traffic engineering and network management become more important and more costly. Indeed some large private networks can exceed the size and complexity of smaller PTTs.
  •  It is here that the virtual private network first shows its benefits allowing the private networks' operation to retain an apparently simple network without any loss of interconnect functionality

  • To connect to another computer, TeamViewer has to be running on both machines. 
  • To install TeamViewer administrator access is required, but once installed it can be run by any user. 
  •  When Teamviewer is started on a computer, it generates a partner ID and password (user-defined passwords are also supported).
