Get access of windows partitions in linux

As root, edit the file /etc/fstab e.g. let your windows C drive partition is /dev/hda1 and it is 'fat 32' file system. So to mount the C partition in /windows/C directory, in the /etc/fstab file, make an entry as
/dev/hda1 /windows/C vfat umask=0000 0 0
Note that umask=0000 will give write permissions to every user. To give write permission only to root, replace by
umask=0002

Create ISO image in Linux

To make an ISO from your CD/DVD, place the media in your drive but do not mount it. If it automounts, unmount it.

$ dd if=/dev/dvd of=dvd.iso # for dvd
$ dd if=/dev/cdrom of=cd.iso # for cdrom
$ dd if=/dev/scd0 of=cd.iso # if cdrom is scsi

To make an ISO from files on your hard drive, create a directory which holds the files you want. Then use the mkisofs command.

$ mkisofs -o /tmp/cd.iso /tmp/directory/

This results in a file called cd.iso in folder /tmp which contains all the files and directories in /tmp/directory/.

Wanna tell your friends about the do's and dont's in your computer when they login in your absence. Well you can do it pretty easily by displaying a legal notice at system start up.

2. Select the whole message including headers and paste.

Eudora for the PC - there are 2 slightly different methods depending on whether the mail contains HTML or not.

In any case, to prepare for HTML email, you should turn off the use of Microsoft's HTML viewer. To do so, click Tools, then Options, then Viewing Mail. Uncheck the box labeled "Use Microsoft's viewer."

How to know if it's HTML mail: once you have opened the email, look near the bottom of the headers (see below for revealing headers) for a line like the following: Content-Type: text/html ... you can frequently spot HTML email because it has font effects, pictures, etc but this is not always true so you have to take a quick look at the headers.


Eudora for the PC - non-HTML mail:

1. Open the email by double clicking on the subject line. Click the button to reveal the headers.
2. Place your cursor anywhere in the body of the email and select the entire message (Edit/Select All or Ctrl-A)
3. Copy the entire email (right click and click copy OR Ctrl/C OR Edit/Copy)
4. Paste (right click/paste or Ctrl/V).

Eudora for the PC - HTML mail:

1. Open the email and click the button to reveal the headers.
2. Highlight the headers only. Copy and paste the headers.
3. Hit enter twice after the pasted headers to force a blank line after the headers.
4. Back in Eudora window, place your cursor anywhere in the body of the message and right click and click "view source". A new window will open.
5. In the new window, select all (as above) and copy the contents of the new window.
6. Paste

Next, you have to pick out the internet-style mail header information from the window that appears when you select Delivery Information.

Look for the first line that begins with "Received". There should be a blank line just above it. Then, scroll down to the next blank line. The stuff in-between the two blank lines are the headers you need.

Look for the separator line that reads
-------- Additional Header ------.
Select everything from there down to the next separator line, usually

Automate the DIR Command

prompt using open Run option
Click Start and open Run option then type cmd to open command prompt, here type
set dircmd=/w/o/p
then press Enter, now every time thereafter that you type
dir
the /w/o/p switches will be automatically applied and now need to type every time. If your are interested to use single switch like /w you can use it

set dircmd=/w

and press Enter.

and same if you wants to undo these switches then you can very easily by typing

dir /-switch

For example, if you wanted to do a directory with only the /w switch, you could enter

dir /-p/-o

When you exit the Command prompt window, however, the Dircmd setting returns to its default settings.

Nod32 - Best performance, light memory consumption but no p2p and registry startup protection. and scanning time is little long comparing to other
Kaspersky Anti virus - Best performance, little heavy memory consumption, no registry startup protection, best scanning time

BitDefender - Best performance, heavy memory consumption, great GUI, no web mail protection, limited platform support .
Norton Anti virus - good performance, heavy memory and process consumption, no web mail, p2p and registry startup protection, and long scanning time
