Often access to shared resources that require you to enter a user name and password and this is repeated for each subsequent access.

Sometimes it would be nice to speed up the operation or even to enter only the username and password is default.

For Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista and Windows 7 you can use the system utilities:

cmdkey

that allows you to maintain multiple combinations of usernames and passwords to shared resources on the network, keeping them encrypted in the Windows Registry. more »

Every time you download a file from the Internet that receives a marking that identifies it from Windows as a file downloaded and potentially dangerous. So Windows can alert every time you try to launch the file, which can pose a risk. The point lies in those two words - every time. If the downloaded file is an executable that does not need the whole setup becomes quite tedious, especially when under Vista or 7, which also require administrative rights, because in that case the interruption is twice, once for the unknown origin and a time for the usual UAC.

To solve the problem, edit the following registry keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to make the change or under HKEY_CURRENT_USER touches every user to apply the change only to themselves.

These are the changes to make.

Before the string: Software \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ Download (create it if it exists) which is assigned the value "No" and then a dword value named RunInvalidSignatures be set to 1.

Then go to the key:

Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Attachments

and create a dword value called SaveZoneInformation - set it to 1

Finally, go to the key: Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Associations

and create a string called LowRiskFileTypes - fill it with extensions that do not want the security warning, separated by ";" as in:

As usual, remember that manipulate the registry is dangerous and should be done only if you feel able to correct any errors and disable the security features of Windows may have negative effects.

Sandboxie lets you work on your computer in a secure virtual and isolated they are confined to changes in registry and folders. It 's very useful and effective to do testing and to surf the Internet by protecting privacy and security.

Many such. use them, often without knowing it or imagine it, the key generators of recording applications (keygens) downloaded from the Internet are also a vehicle for spreading viruses: run in this environment would be a good way to avoid damage planned by the producers of malware.

Sandboxie is interposed between applications "dubious" and the hard disk, allowing the latter of the sun to read and write in diverting the virtual area, from where they are actually all the changes.

These will still be accessible by exploring the contents of the reserved area (the sandbox), until you decide to cancel it. Run the software in an unknown space safe and independent as not to risk damage is a powerful and easy to use: clearly this can be achieved, and even more fully, with many available virtual machine ( VirtualBox , VMware, Returnil , etc..) or with functions such as "Try & Decide" from the Acronis True Image, but Sandboxie is incomparably easier to use and less invasive.

One of the most common systems of propagation of the viruses today is based sull'autoplay: a USB memory stick that you have with an infected system has been modified so that when inserted into a system with active starts an autorun virus that attempts infecting the host system. There are countermeasures to prevent this from happening, but what about the keys of third parties over which they have control? It 's good idea to disable autorun, but this is a tedious process and unstable (you have to handle various cases separately autoplay), unless the use of Group Policy.

Start:

gpedit.msc

via Start, Run, or press the usual key combination is Windows-R (for Run, Windows is the key with the Windows flag, the second lower left, often on the third notebook). more »

If you do not belong to a domain, XP has some limitations: for example, XP Home does not support Group Policy Editor:

while XP Pro can not selectively apply policies to specific users, here a small freeware tool that requires no installation that addresses precisely these limitations:

The most important thing that we have online, and we are our identity.

Worsening the global economic crisis increase crime, great, like the Madoff case, but also small, such as electronic identity theft. According to Gartner, 15 million identities are stolen each year, a victim every 2 seconds. At this rate every ten years, all U.S. citizens will have had at least one theft of their electronic data.
According to the ' Identity Theft Resource Center , the incidence of these thefts has grown by 50 percent in 2008 from 2007, and continues to be one of the fastest growing crimes in the States. There is a black market in stolen identities to the authorities seem unable to stop. It 'so easy to buy or sell electronic identities that their value is decreased in the past two years.

Because it is easier for "bad" to have these data and more difficult to protect the "good"? Because these data are becoming increasingly popular on the network, and security is beyond our control.
