how to enable administrator account windows xp

Windows XP uses that idiot proof welcome screen where all one has to
do is click the stupid icon of a user and wham! He's logged on.
In every installation of Windows XP, there is a built-in and defaut
administrator user account named Administrator, which is equivalent to
super user or root in Unix system. However, if you have set up another
user account in Windows XP, the Administrator account will be hidden,
cloaked and invisible in User Accounts or Computer Management.
To see the Administrator account, you have to boot the Windows in Safe
Mode. However, you can modify the Windows's registry so that the
Administrator account will be shown at Windows XP's Welcome screen for
you to select, in the Control Panel's User Accounts and in the local
user lists in Computer Management.
1. Launch Registry Editor.
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList in the Registry
Editor.
3. Double-click the Administrator key in the right pane.
4. If the Administrator key doesn't exist, right-click on the above
tree in the pane, choose New, DWORD Value, name it Administrator and
press .
5. Type 1 in the "Value data" box, and press .
Note: To launch User Accounts in Control Panel, you can go to Control
Panel -> User Accounts, or click Start -> Run, and then type Control
userpasswords and press Enter.
Once you unhide and reveal the Administrator account, you can change
its picture or assign it a password or change the password. In
addition, on the next boot to the Welcome screen, the Administrator
account will be visible, along with all of the computer's other user
accounts.

Google Blogsearch Tips (And a Little WordPress Hack)

Google blogsearch offers some of the default google search operators
and other less-known operators. Here they are, with some tips and a
wordpress hack :)

Oh, as always, google is a little nervous when using advanced search
strings, so sometimes it returns a 404 not found… it's just trying to
display the well-known 403 because it finds the search a bit
suspicious… but the page is missing…
link:
this is a standard google operator, but in blogsearch it really works,
while in standard google it displays a small percentage of the known
inbound links. Finally a way to discover inbound links without using
yahoo or technorati!

inpostauthor:
search for the given string in post author.
Tip: This is a good reason to use your full name while posting, since
google blogsearch indexes your name! If you want to gain visibility
you should really avoid using a nickname! (well, I discovered this
recently, so my posts can still be found searching for
inpostauthor:"fra" … but this is going to change… this post should be
found under inpostauthor:"francesco mapelli")
Tip #2:The default wordpress rss-comments module does not use the
<author> tag to describe the autor of the comments, so searching for
inpostauthor:yourname returns just the blog posts… but if you hack
wp-commensrss2.php adding

<author> <?php echo get_comment_author_rss()?> </author>

to the comments loop, for example before the <pubDate> tag, blogsearch
will find also your comments.
If you want to test it, just write a comment in this post, wait for
google blogsearch to read the rss (it's very fast, something like ten
minutes should be enough) an check with blogsearch!.
I think I'll wirte a wordpress plugin for this.

update: since wordpress 2.1, the author is included by default in
comments rss… there's no need for this hack anymore :)

inblogtitle:
search for the given string in blog title: inblogtitle:mapelli

inposttitle:
search for the given string in post title: inposttitle:google search guide

blogurl:
search for blogs with the given url: blogurl:http://www.mapelli.info/
or for blogs under the given domain

Google Search Tips (Ultimate Google Guide)

The Ultimate Google Guide can help you to improve your search results
and SERP analysis with less-known search Tips

First Things First
In this Google guide I'll show you some less-known google operators
and search tips. Please note that since this advanced operators are
sometimes used by spam-bot, black hat seos and other people google
does not loves, you may bump in 403-Access denied screens like the one
I showed to you in my Google hates Doughnuts (and Advanced Search
Strings) article.
Don't be scared if this happens, nothing is wrong with you / your pc /
your search, is just google that it's a little nervous ;)

Things to Know
google is not case sensitive: searching for doughnut is the same as DoughNuT
search operators are case sensitive: searching for doughnuts OR donuts
uses OR as the google operator, while doughnuts or donuts does not.
google default is to search for pages that include all of your search
terms. Also the order of your search term is somehow relevant.
google excludes common words (also called stop words) like "I" , "the" etc.
some operators can be combined, while others must be used alone.
Basic Operators
+
forces words to be included in search results. Useful with stop words
that otherwise will be discarded

-
prevents a search term to show in results, for example searching for
doughnut -cream can help you to avoid creamy doughnuts

OR
returns documents with one of the given terms, like doughnut OR donut.
You can also use | instead of OR: doughnut | donut

" "
using quotes forces google to search for the exact phrase (including
stop words), try "doughnut at midnight" and doughnut at midnight
(actually, using quotes is similar, but not equals, to
doughnut-at-midnight … it would be interesting to know what is the
exact difference in SERP)

~
allow to search also for synonyms of the given word. searching for
doughnut ~tips finds also pages with the word help or guide etc.

*
means every word. try "doughnuts with *"

..
Used to search in a range of numbers, "2..20 doughnuts" will find
pages containing "I eat 3 doughnuts a day" and "I'll never eat more
than 15 doughnuts in a month"

This operators can be combined to create advanced queries, for example
"I eat 1..100 doughnut OR doughnuts OR donut OR donuts each *"

Advanced google operators
daterange:
Returns documents modified in the given time interval. Dates should be
entered in julian format (so geeky, but a bit unusable).
Using doughnuts daterange:2454091-2454101 you can find who talked
about doughnuts in the last ten days of 2006 :)

filetype:
returns links to documents with the given file type.
For example searching for doughnuts filetype:java will find portable
and object-oriented doughnuts.
Currently officially supported file types are pdf, ps, wk1, wk2, wk3,
wk4, wk5, wki, wks, wku, lwp, mw, xls, ppt, doc, wks, wps, wdb, wri,
rtf, swf, ans, txt, but other are supported as well, like xml, cpp,
java etc.

site:
restricts the results to the given domain. site:mapelli.info will find
all indexed page on www.mapelli.info, while site:mapelli.info
doughnuts will find all doughnuts-related pages on www.mapelli.info .
update: you can use the site operator also to find your supplemental
results using this query: site:www.mapelli.info *** -sljktf. (taken
from an intresting article about Google Supplemental Index Results by
Aaron Wall)

cache:
shows the cached version of given webpage. Other words in the query
will be highlighted in the returned page, try cache:www.mapelli.info

sqrt(49) returns 7, if you need non-square roots you can use for
example 3th root of 27.

sin, cos, arctan, tan…
google calculator supports various trigonometic functions, expecting a
radians value, that can be expressed also using the pi constant:
sin(pi/2), tan (2/3*pi)

ln
returns natural (base e) logarithm: ln(e^5)

log
returns base 10 logarithm: log(100)

!
returns n factorial: 3!

Google supports a lot of conversion tools, here is a small guide:

in degrees / in radians
you can convert radians to degrees: pi/2 in degrees or convert degrees
into radians: 90 degrees in radians

in hex / in binary / in octal / in decimal
you can convert to each of the given bases: 16 in hex , 16 in octal,

Five Best Linux Netbook OSes - for Now

Tired of Windows 7 Starter Edition? Ready to boot XP off the netbook? Linux runs particularly well on Netbooks, but it might be hard to choose which flavor is best for you right now. Not sure what's out there? We've lined up the five best Linux netbook OSes for your mobile computing pleasure.

What makes a distro one of the best choices for netbooks? It has to be easy to install, support netbook hardware relatively well, and should offer an interface that's well-suited for netbooks. Not every distro will support all hardware out of the box, but some distros are better than others at handling a wide range of hardware. Also, it has to be free to download and easy to get.

Some notable efforts didn't make the cut because they're not far enough along just yet. For example, I would have liked to pick a Moblin-based project like the openSUSE Goblin effort — but it's not quite ready for widespread release. When it's ready I think it will be fantastic, but it's not there yet and probably wouldn't be a lot of fun for all but the most experienced users to try to get running. And, I would have liked to have included an Android-based netbook distribution but couldn't find any community projects.

Ubuntu Netbook Remix

Right now the Ubuntu Netbook Remix (UNR) is my netbook distribution of choice. It's easy to install, easy to use, and the interface is well-suited to small screens.

It also has really good hardware support, at least on the hardware I've tried it on so far. I'm running it on an Asus 10" Eee PC and everything just works, and even with only 1GB of RAM it seems fairly speedy. Under the hood, it's still Ubuntu, so you have the goodies that you're accustomed to on the desktop as well. You'll find an enormous selection of packages in the Ubuntu repositories; you have the Ubuntu One file sync and music store, and so on. For Ubuntu users, UNR is a no-brainer.

Kubuntu Netbook Edition

For the KDE fans in the house, there's the Kubuntu Netbook Edition (KNR). With the 10.04 Ubuntu release at the end of April, the KNR release officially supports the KDE Plasma Netbook Shell that's especially designed for small screens.

If you use Kubuntu on the desktop and like a KDE-flavor for your computing experience, then the Plasma Netbook shell is going to be much more fun. You'll find an experimental release for ARM machines as well, so if your netbook happens to have an ARM processor, it's one of the few options you'll find.

Note that Fedora is also providing a preview of the Plasma netbook interface with Fedora 13, but it's only at a preview stage and Fedora 13 is not yet released. I'm pretty sure openSUSE will also feature the Plasma Netbook Shell as an option with openSUSE 11.3, so if you prefer those distros stick around! They'll be along shortly.

Jolicloud

I have an 11" Acer One netbook that, unfortunately, doesn't play really well with Linux. The problem is the Intel chipset for the machine that is one of the few chipsets unsupported on Linux. Jolicloud is the only current release that runs well on this machine.

That's not all Jolicloud has going for it, though. It has a custom netbook interface and is, as the name suggests, designed for working with cloud services. I like Jolicloud's app directory and "social stream" for working with services like Twitter.

Want to keep Windows on your device? Try Jolicloud Express install that co-exists happily with Windows. Me? I wiped Windows right off the netbook as soon as I had the chance, but if you want or need Windows, Jolicloud makes it very easy to dual-boot.

gOS

And now for something completely different... if you're only using your computer for cloud services and Web apps, why not go all the way with gOS. This little distro is developed around Google gadgets and services, with Google Desktop search thrown in, and OpenOffice for those of us not ready for all the data to live in the cloud.

You have the desktop apps you've come to know and love with gOS, but also widgets and a netbook-friendly interface that's not a major departure from a standard desktop. Mac fans will enjoy the dock interface as well. Until ChromeOS ships, gOS is a good alternative.

Puppy Linux

Puppy Linux is not a netbook distro per se, but I wanted to recommend it for more adventurous users who want a really lightweight Linux distribution on their netbook.

One of the primary reasons I recommend Puppy for netbooks is that it's been well-tested for USB installs for quite some time, and it's tiny. Puppy Linux is less than 100MB. You can run the entire distribution in RAM if you want, even on resource-constrained systems like the average netbook. While 1GB of RAM is not a lot for a distribution like Ubuntu, it's more than enough for Puppy.

Puppy is an old-school distro. You won't find OpenOffice.org, or Compiz, or many heavy-weight applications at all. However you will find usable alternatives like Gnumeric and AbiWord. It is not for everybody, but if you want a fast and lightweight Linux distro on the go, Puppy is worth a shot.

Choosing Netbook Hardware

If you haven't purchased a netbook yet, you do want to give some thought to the hardware before you buy it. If at all possible, buy a netbook that already has Linux on it, like the System 76 EduBook or Dell Mini netbooks with Linux.

It also helps to do a bit of research on the hardware to make sure that everything works with Linux well. Many Netbooks feature Intel chipsets with Linux-friendly graphics, wireless and sound cards. Some, however, have been shipped with hardware that only works with proprietary drivers that may not be available for Linux. So before you buy, Google the system and see if it passes muster with Linux. Even if the Linux distro on the netbook doesn't fit your tastes, you can at least be reasonably assured that the system will work with a Linux distro more to your liking.

Linux is pretty powerful on netbooks now, but the next year should be even more exciting with MeeGo making progress and ChromeOS devices on the way. But if you're looking for something today, one of these distros will surely fit the bill.
