I often need buttons, generic images, or just plain ideas for graphics for a variety of reasons: icon for an article, as part of a larger image or mockup of a web page, etc.
Stock images – Buying your source material, if it is copyrighted, is the only moral thing to do. Designers worked hard to save you the time. And a stock website like iStockPhoto makes it very affordable, so there’s no reason to rip off the creator. Searching a website stock image website can lead you to high-quality images and reduce the clutter of poorly made graphics. iStockPhoto in particular has an amazing advanced search function, by size, shape, color, even area where you want to put text.Search engines – Google’s image search has gotten better too. If you search by exact size you can often find what you need so that you don’t even need to resize it yourself. Again, make sure you pay for copyrighted works. But it can also be a source of ideas and can show you many images, quickly.Open Source – That’s generally where I stop, but I recently found a great website called Open Clip Art Library. It is well organized, and many of the graphics are good quality and usable without needing editing. It’s worth considering as one of the first places to search, and in fact, I’m going to start here from now on, since stock sites and search engines can be overwhelming.Monday, September 12, 2011
Using the invisible character
Do you have something that requires a name but you don’t want anything in it? You could just throw nonsense in there, but a blank space would be best. In actuality, there is an invisible character! This special character is the equivalent of a space:
Hold down ALT then type 0160 (Alt+0160) on the number keypad at the right side of your keyboard.
You could use it as an email address when filling out forms: @ .comGiving your desktop shortcuts blank labels so all you see is the icon. (This will only work on shortcuts, not on My Computer, My Documents, or program icons.)
You must have your shortcut labels set to drop shadow so that the they are clear.
Then, follow the normal way to change the filename: click the name slowly two times to highlight the name. Or click the icon once and hit F2.
Type in our invisible character code (Alt+0160). There you go–an icon with no label.
Keep in mind that if you want to do this to other shortcuts you can’t have the same name, so just type the code more than once. That means that for the first shortcut you type Alt+0160 release the Alt key then type Alt+0160 again. For the third icon do it three times, etc.

Copying Online Messages
When posting messages online, it’s a good idea to copy the message to your clipboard before pressing the Send button. Ctrl+A, then Ctrl+C.
If the Send doesn’t take, you can just paste your clipboard contents back again in a new post window.
If it appears to have been sent, but it’s important, you can paste it into a Notepad .txt file (Ctrl+V) .
If the message disappears into digital limbo or if the recipient at the tax department denies receiving it, you at least have a copy of the original to resend.
If it’s a long tome, copy it at several intervals.
Disabling Windows Vista and 7 Login at Startup
When you start your Windows Vista or Windows 7 computer, by default the system makes you enter your password to log in. Here’s a way to get around it.
When you first install Vista or 7 and start using it, you are required to enter in a password for your account. But after that, you’re not really given a choice to remove the password if you don’t want it. You’re just sort of stuck typing it in every time and that can get old rather quickly!
If you’re not the only one who uses your computer, consider leaving it this way. It is a good security feature and it helps to keep all of the different accounts, files and preferences separate from each other. But if you’re the only one who ever uses your computer, you should be able to get rid of the password prompt if you want.
If you’d like to bypass the Windows Vista and 7 log on process and remove your password, just follow these steps:
Go to Start, Control Panel.Click on the User Accounts and Family Safety link.Next, click on the User Accounts link.Under the “Make changes to your user account” section, click on the Remove Your Password link for your account.On the next screen that comes up, enter in your current password.Click on the Remove Password button to confirm everything.Close out of all the open windows and restart your computer. That will allow you to test the system to make sure your password really was removed.From now on, when you start up your Vista computer, you will be taken to your desktop automatically and you will no longer have to worry about a password.
Assign Shortcut Keys in Windows Vista
Windows Vista has a screen capture/screenshot tool that is actually pretty decent. You can take region captures or full screenshots and easily save them using this tool.
Note: The snipping tool doesn’t exist on every version of Vista. To turn it on, you’ll have to go to “Turn Windows features on or off” in Control Panel, and check the box for the Tablet PC utilities.
The only problem with this tool is that there’s no hotkey to bring up the window. But here’s how to change that.
Visit the Start Menu, and then click on All Programs. Click the Accessories folder, and you’ll see the Snipping Tool.
Right click it and go to the Properties screen. You’ll see a Shortcut key text box.
The only annoying thing with this trick is that you can’t use the PrintScreen key… but no big deal. Let’s assigned Ctrl + F12 because it’s easy to remember that many users don’t use for something else.
Removing the “Done, but with errors on the page” message in IE
Q: When you visit certain Web sites, you often get the error message of “Done, but with errors on page.” What does that mean and is there anything to do to fix it?
A:
This error usually only shows up in Internet Explorer and it mainly has to do with JavaScript. If the Web site you’re trying to view uses JavaScript, you may run into a script related error, which triggers the “Done, but with errors on page” message. It is usually generated by an error in the site’s code. Only the developers of the site can get in and fix it.
In can be eliminated easily by Clicking: Menu: Tools – Internet Options – Advanced tab. Check “Disable script debugging” Uncheck “Display a notification about every script error” Unless you are the developer of the web site, you may not want this notification. And like magic; problem solved!
How To Remove Page Info From Printed Pages
By default browsers will add the date, page number and URL to any page printed from the Internet. For most (if not all) of the printables on this site, you probably don’t want text at the top and bottom of the page. Luckily it’s pretty easy to fix, just pick your browser and follow the instructions below.
By default there’s a small image of a printer, click that and go to “Page Setup…”. Below is a screenshot showing the button you’re looking for.
Go to “File”, “Page Setup…”, then erase the text in the “Headers and Footers text boxes.
(The default for header is &w&bPage &p of &P and for footer &u&b&d if you need to put it back later. IE’s default margins are 0.75 inches.)
Click the “OK” button and you’re done.
From the menu in the top left corner of your browser, choose “File”, then “Page setup..”. Go to the second tab called “Margins & Header / Footer”, in the drop down lists choose “Blank” for all the items you don’t want printed. The screenshot below gives a better view of what I mean.
If you want, you can also adjust the print margins here as well, Firefox’s default margins are set at 0.5 inches. Once you have your setting chosen, click “OK”, and you’re done!
If you’d like a faster way to get to the print preview feature from within Firefox, the Print / Print Preview extensions is very handy. It adds a submenu to your context menu (the menu that pops up when you right click on a webpage) with “Print”, “Print Preview” and “Page Setup”. Much faster if you change margins, headers etc. often.

RAID Recovery information
Introduction to ATTACK
Storage system preserve data treated and able to treat data and become a part of the integral system hardware. Storage System have advanced as other components computer last year. In ATTACK storage system the than 15 years ago and provided a very good solution for storage system March firms. Let's do a little more of the history of the concept on the attack and they work.
The history of the RAID
RAID is a acronym for Redundant array of inexpensive Disks. Concept was in the two conçu University of California, Berkeley and IBM, which maintains the patent on intellectual level ATTACK 5. The University of California, Berkeley researchers, David; Patterson, Garth Gibson, and Randy h. Katz worked to produce working prototypes of five storage system level of ATTACK. The result of this research was formed the basis of two system complex ATTACK store-houses today.
Some of the plan the attack target storage system was intended to provide performance improvement, deposit insurance and recovery, and évolutivité. Redondance Concept employed at system ATTACKS and give a unique method to recover if a driver should post in the system. In fact, four monitor attacks today, there is the ability to continue reading and writing data even if a driver not-. So as assault four lead responsible individual disques and providing fault tolerance?
ATTACK BECA
Storage system That the attack is controlled by four. This map is usually said to a SCSI disc map control (However, four monitor attacks IDEAS come all common). The work of four control is.
Administration has driven individuals
Monitor attacks will translate and communicate directly with disques disc. Four control some more utility work with disques disc, especially as a surface scan function and utility formatted a drive. Quarter four SCSI-based controllers, are offering more options for disques.
Configuration array logic
Configuration of the logical array stripes data across all physical disques. In order to provide data for all UN balance disques statement rather than one conduct all the work of reading and writing data, now they are working with the data to be through the full physical disques.
Redondants you fault tolerant operations
Redondance configuration in a common attack 5 is the result using a Boolean math function called exclusive or (XOR). This indicates to ordinary as Parity. XOR Function, which is a process binary logic statement it's better to think of Parity as combination of data block other driver the octet to find recorded in a block of data calculated against other data block with Parity) writing for Parity block for this particular line. What makes this function so unique, is that mathematics will still work, two cups of the data, who did not see. However, the limitation to ATTACK 5 is intercepted only one this information may not see statement mathematics is not work if there are two block, who did not see. In the Middle the work this means that only conduct a nerve. The configuration of the ATTACK 5 does not give good redondance if two or more disques NER.
Also mention précédemment, four controlled the répartition data as well as Arts the XOR function on this information as well as the number of logical person calculs controlled the second every échelonnement. ATTACK Manager today which intruders spare hardware, especially conçu processeurs and SDRAM bank in relation to performance and redondance.
Configurations ATTACK common person pictures below graphically show how Arrays will ATTACK together (this tax is not the attack configuration.) After the letter to see how Ribbon data stolen between disques.
RAID Recovery
ATTACK storage system designed to distribute and failure. While failure hardware is a major reason Why some attack nerve may, can also be any other failure that make the data inaccessible. If you have client problem with array attacks, and Ontrack Data Recovery is your solution.
Edge Ontrack Data Recovery data recovery procedures in technical and prove your mind and ATTACK Des. Senior Engineer in the Ontrack Data Recovery agreed that restauration ATTACK Arrays is one of the most's technically face aspect of data recovery. Advance your senior engineers touch ATTACK des. The process, we employ to recover ATTACK Arrays involved put array back and side. You have no method of attaching disques employees for a four monitor attacks and to work. When Ontrack Data Recovery Engineers put logic array back and did vaste investigating on how to put data on disques, that the law and to disques data block with block parité.
A ATTACK recovery assessment is really combination of steps is very important. The First array rebuild and two potential they will take more time. Investment in time required determine original configuration and getting a recovery quality. Footprint is the second to work on its logical record: Enterprises journalisation records system today very complex. If array ATTACK the bridge will have thousands of sin in the system will record and fichiers endommagé. Ontrack Data Recovery engineers verify and confirm that the array build correctly before all data copié. This is not in a recovery garantit extra quality.
You have more than just a little of the history of the solution this deposit and it is only reasonable to hope that ATTACK Arrays will continue largely used. Disaster will happen and when they do you have an associated with Ontrack Data Recovery. We will do everything we can to seek original customer data back to you. Expertise and leader of ATTACK Des you survived thousands of customers who have their system storage firms.

8. s.r. appât-Sin thought that he would take the laptop out ships about to play games while waiting for a some bite. As it is, both with the laptop go, Yes, all data to the bottom of the water: 7. Panicked photographer-a photographer wedding wrath potential of a new bride when he discovered he was écrasées pictures and from other event two days before the couple returned to miel, he called is Ontrack for help. The bride was no admissions. 6.Lime trip a Montserra scientists during a experience acid on a external heavy.

Ant invasion-Discovering Ant had taken up his hard drive, a photographer in Thailand from the cover, aspergés Interior and insect repellent. Ant was not and is Ontrack engineer until they were put their hands on, and seeing as the data didn't go night.Server Recovery Tips
Here is prompting some of Ontrack Data Recovery engineers of what not to do when disaster is data.
In a disaster recovery, not restore server data to the lost data in that area still restore your server for a given location. In Exchange you Microsoft SQL failure, never trying to repair original ice cream store information on your de fichiers-work on a copy. In a situation supprimé data, close the car immediately. Do not shut down Windows, it'll avoid risk data écrasées. Using a volume défragmenteur regularly. If a driver first on its attacks, never replace the failed drive with a driver who was part of a previous ATTACK system, still zero from conduct replacement before use. If a driver will pile mechanical unprecedented, and put him immediately and get help. There is a valid sauvegarde to make a change hardware you software. Disques Marked with positions in an attack array. Do not go volume repair utilities on suspected disques is not good. Do not go on suspected disques défragmenteur utility is not good. Lost power in a situation with an attack array, if the system of record suspicious, you unmountable, acquisitions inaccessible after power restore volume repairs, or goutility.
Ontrack Data Recovery should be part of your disaster plans and key personnel you should be aware of the capabilities of the recovery. During a panne, is common to multiple recovery efforts will at the same time. This makes sense because the goal is to make the company to provide information; key success is to get involved Ontrack Data Recovery as possible.

Suggestion to help students protect against laptop data Disasters
Down computer homework ILike most students prepare to head back to school, many will be told the computer portable computers in addition to ordinary school in place. It is clear that the laptop computers quickly become an important part of school experience, but with more portables in use come more great danger data lost."Laptop computers have had a very interesting way to students today to lead them, but protect the information on computer are not simple like where a clot in a locker, '' said Jim Reinert, Director sr. software and services for Ontrack Data Recovery. "Students who need to be careful and portables to prevent both physical damage and other problems that could affect the integrity of data. If the problem is, it is important that the research data is still option. "

Use a strong, well what laptop rembourré, using just a back-pack or brief may may not protect server need for portable transportation. Make sure you have a lot of portable computer intégré remplissage protection. Sauvegarde your data regularly-create regular sauvegardes is one of the most best way to protect your lost data. Back data at least once a week on a real medium (CD, DVD, USB Flash disques sauvegarde or on the Internet), always verify the correct data support. Run a virus scan and to modernize it regularly-computer viruses is one of the worst enemy for your computer.

Data Recovery Articles > Solve your Server Recovery Nightmares with Ontrack Data Recovery
The on-call IT tech is jolted awake from a terrible dream – his heart pounding. Lightning crashes overhead as he glances at the clock – 2:59 a.m. The server isn’t down, it was just a dream.
3:00 a.m. The IT on-call pager goes off. This could mean any number of things: a fire, a break-in, a failed air-conditioner in the server room, or even a main business server crash.
3:25 a.m. The on-call IT tech arrives at the site and evaluates the situation. There is no fire, no evidence of a break-in, and the server room temperature reads a cool 18oC. A quick check of the servers shows that most of them are at a login screen. After checking two or three machines, it is obvious that the room lost power at some point. The UPS units verify a failure; all three massive battery units are showing failures and heavy load percentages.
3:40 a.m. The on-call IT tech calls the lead technician and department manager and informs them of the situation; both are on their way to the site. They leave instructions to check the main business application servers; one of them holds the company’s customer database, payroll, and accounting system, and the other is the company’s messaging server.
3:55 a.m. The on-call IT tech discovers that the RAID array for the business database server is not coming back online. The messaging server has rebooted but the messaging application is returning errors when it starts up. The tech realizes that the messaging server was performing incremental backups during the time of the outage. The on-call IT tech decides to leave that to the lead technician when he arrives.
4:00 a.m. The lead tech and manager arrive. Assessments of the other servers are made. The lead tech begins working with the messaging server. The on-call tech works with the failed RAID array. The firmware shows the array has failed; the controller only recognizes three of the ten drives. After a complete power down and restart of the server and drive enclosure, the firmware shows the drives are back online, however the array is shown as ’Failed’.
4:30 a.m. The-on call technician calls the RAID array manufacturer’s technical support. The choices in the firmware menu are vague and the IT Tech wants to know if forcing the drives online will get their array back. The manufacturer’s technical support says that the array will come back; however, there is a slight possibility that the data on the volume may be corrupted. The manufacturer’s technical support asks how recent their latest backup is. The IT Tech responds that the data is one week old and that is unacceptable; they cannot lose a week of transactions. The IT Tech hesitates in deciding what to do next…
Business system disasters like this happen every day. Despite the redundancy in backup systems or storage array systems, failures occur. Some failures can be hardware related, others can be due to software, and still others are the result of human error or natural disaster.
More and more businesses rely on their corporate server structure and document storage volumes. Some businesses rely completely on their database system, which may be financial data, job tracking data, or customer contact data. Other businesses may rely wholly on their messaging database and that is a critical business system. Some telephone systems actually convert voice messages to email notifications, thereby using the email-messaging server as part of the communication system. Today’s systems are also storage systems for all of the documents that users create.
Common Scenarios of Server Data DisastersOntrack Data Recovery has been the undisputed leader in the industry with the most technologically advanced data recovery solutions available. We have been serving customers globally for nearly 20 years with offices, cleanrooms, engineers, and employees located around the world. During that time, we have seen many data loss situations ranging from commonplace to unique. Here is a sampling of specific types of disasters accompanied with actual engineering notes from recent Remote Data Recovery jobs (Evaluation time represents the time it takes to evaluate the problem, make necessary file system changes to access data, and to report on all of the directories and files that can be recovered):
Causes of Partition/Volume/File System Corruption Disasters
Corrupted File System due to system crash File system damaged to automatic volume repair utilities File system corruption due partition/volume resizing utilities Corrupt volume management settingsCase Study
Severe damage to partition/volume information to Windows 2000 workstation; had used 3rd party recovery software--didn't work, reinstalled OS but was looking for 2nd partition/volume, found it and it was a 100% recovery
Evaluation Time: 46 minutes
Causes of Specific File Error Disasters
Corrupted business system database; file system is fine Corrupted message database; file system is fine Corrupted user filesCase Study
Windows 2000 server, volume repair tool damaged file system; target directories unavailable. Complete access to original files critical. Remote Data Recovery safely repaired volume; restored original data, 100% recovery.
Evaluation Time: 20 Minutes
Exchange 2000 server, severely corrupted Information store; corruption cause unknown. Scanned Information Store file for valid user mailboxes, results took up to 48 hours due to the corruption. Backup was one month old/not valid for users.
Evaluation Time: 96 Hours (1.5 days)
Possible Causes of Hardware Related Disasters
Server hardware upgrades (Storage Controller Firmware, BIOS, RAID Firmware) Expanding Storage Array capacity by adding larger drives to controller Failed Array Controller Failed drive on Storage Array Multiple failed drives on Storage Array Storage Array failure but drives are working Failed boot drive Migration to new Storage Array systemCase Study
Netware volume server, Traditional NWFS, failing hard drive made volume inaccessible; Netware would not mount volume. Errors on hard drive were not in the data area and drive was still functional. Copied all of the data to another volume; 100% recovery.
Evaluation Time: 1 hour
Causes of Software Related Disasters
Business System Software Upgrades (Service Packs, Patches to Business system) Anti-virus software deleted/truncated suspect file in error and data has been deleted, overwritten or bothCase Study
Partial drive copy overwrite using third party tools, overwrite started and then crashed 1% into the process, found a large portion of the original data. Rebuilt file system, provided reports on recoverable data; customer will be requiring that we test some files to verify quality of recovery.
Evaluation Time: 1 hour
Causes of User Error Disasters
During a data loss disaster, restored backup data to exact location, thereby overwriting it Deleted files Overwritten operating system with reinstall of OS or application softwareCase Study
User's machine had the OS reinstalled – Restore CD was used; user looking for Outlook PST file. Searched for PST data through the drive because original file system completely overwritten. Found three potential files that might contain the user's data, after using PST recovery tools we found one of those files to contain all of the user's email; there were missing messages, majority of the messages/attachments came back.
Evaluation Time: 5 hours
Causes of Operating System Related Disasters
Server OS upgrades (Service Packs, Patches to OS) Migration to different OSCase Study
Netware traditional, 2TB volume, damage to file system when trying to expand size of volume, repaired on drive, volume mountable.
Evaluation Time: 4 hours
From legacy systems and post-mainframe storage devices to the latest high-end SANs, Ontrack Data Recovery works on them all. More importantly is the validity of the recovered data—the data must be usable to the client when we have completed the recovery.
Server Recovery TipsData disasters will happen, accepting that reality is the first step in preparing a comprehensive disaster plan. Time is always against an IT team when a disaster strikes, therefore the details of a disaster plan are critical for success.
Here are some suggestions from Ontrack Data Recovery engineers of what not to do:
In a disaster recovery, never restore data to the server that has lost the data—always restore to a separate server or location. In Microsoft Exchange or SQL failures, never try to repair the original Information Store or database files—work on a copy. In a deleted data situation, turn off the machine immediately. Do not shut down Windows—this will prevent the risk of overwritten data. Use a volume defragmenter regularly. If a drive fails on RAID systems, never replace the failed drive with a drive that was part of a previous RAID system—always zero out the replacement drive before using. If a drive is making unusual mechanical noises, turn it off immediately and get assistance. Have a valid backup before making hardware or software changes. Label the drives with their position in a RAID array. Do not run volume repair utilities on suspected bad drives. Do not run defragmenter utilities on suspected bad drives. In a power loss situation with a RAID array, if the file system looks suspicious, or is un-mountable, or the data is inaccessible after power is restored, do not run volume repair utilities.Ontrack Data Recovery should be part of your disaster planning and your key personnel should be aware of our recovery capabilities. During an outage, it is common to have multiple recovery efforts going on at the same time. This makes sense because the goal is to get the company back to its data. The key to success is to get Ontrack Data Recovery involved as soon as possible.
One client early last year gave Ontrack Data Recovery this challenge, “We have a backup restoration going on right now and we need the data available as soon as possible. If you want the job, you have to beat the tape.” Recovery engineers worked the entire weekend to get the more than 2TB of data available and recovered over before the start of the work week.
Summary and Conclusion
The fictional, true-to-life IT scenarios at the beginning of this article illustrate the situations and decisions that IT staff must make. Businesses and institutions like yours, without access to their data, run the risk of losing millions in revenue every day. The fact is, today’s systems are relied on more then ever for consistent and available data.
Ontrack Data Recovery recognizes the importance of the speed and quality of recovery– especially on large servers. As your partner, we are continually researching new data recovery tools, improving our existing data recovery software tools, and expanding our recovery capabilities to meet your needs for immediate recovery of lost data, including data on large server systems. Successful disaster planning includes having Ontrack’s emergency number (1-800-872-2599) near your computer systems.

Technology readers believe that the mistake is leading cause of data loss
Minneapolis, Minnesota, MIN-July 20, 2010According to a recent world survey on the about data loss, Ontrack ®, who give me information management, data recovery and legal technologies products and services, was found 40 percent of home, business, Government and information technology channel readers believe the sin is a leading data loss, 11 per cent in 2005. For hardware and software Sin realize a significant number of failure, the result of this show provides complexity associated with the execute and maintaining storage technology today.
Ontrack Is asked more than 2,000 participants from 17 countries through North America, Europe and Asia Pacific to explain the loss of data due to the most recent, and a échelonnement 40 percent believe the ont sin was leading, even if only 27 percent said they actually could attribute a last lost to. Another 29 percent identify hardware/system failure as the cause of the more recent data loss, reported as the cause of the loss of data by 56 percent of ont in a similar survey in 2005. The reported decrease in hardware/system failure, despite Ontrack ® Data Recovery engineers saw cohérente pourcentages in hardware failure on over the past five years.
Lost data for computer viruses attribuée and natural disaster were slightly bent. Survey In 2010, mature viruses computer for less than 7 percent of the last data loss incidents, compared to 4 percent in 2005. Two natural disaster was responsible for 3 percent of incident in 2010, or 2 per cent in 2005.
"For technology and technology skills continue to improve year last year, the reality is hardware failure, as well as people, continue to have a lot of factors," Todd Johnson, Vice President of operations Ontrack Data Recovery, Ontrack said. "There is one common factor that can ever, not data will become a reality; to continue, not a question of if, but rather a question of time. As a result, arts, as business cannot on hope as strategy. Instead, they must take proactive measures to ensure that those who operated system storage have current training, licenciements work and a plan of current and the half-in the event of a loss. "
Étonnamment, while more than 90 percent of all the survey information, lost 18 percent "did not know" lost data had been living. This show is an urgent need for educating businesses and consumers on data protection, recovery made tools and strategy, as well as Protocol recovery in the event of a loss of data, not more damage.
"We want to help readers and avoid frustration and may feel as a result of data loss, especially if it involved a discharge in personal data, such as land 61 percent of all people survey," Jeff Pederson, Director of operations, Ontrack Data Recovery is Ontrack said.
