A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a woman below.
He descended a bit more and shouted, “Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago but I don’t know where I am.”
The woman below replied, “You’re in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You’re between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude.”
“You must be in Information Technology,” said the balloonist.

What if we could see our hard drive contents like the map of the earth? everything visual with the names of the countries and other important information in it. Then, like seeing the earth globe we can figure out how big Russia is and how many islands islands Japan has, we could easily figure out what was the biggest folder on our drive and how many files a folder contained :-).
This was only a perception in my mind till today but today I have found my dream come true :-). I have found one software that visually displays the map of the drives in our system. Its name is SpaceMonger.

I have been observing many systems that are hit by viruses and as a result either the system utilities like task manager and the registry editor are disabled or they are made hidden. They just open and disappear in a flash. This behavior is caused if your system is infected with viruses. What would be the easiest way to counter this problem? This question has been in my mind since I started troubleshooting these types of problems. Because in these types of situations, nothing seems to be working and the person is totally helpless. I have found out that backing up these utilities in a safe place will save you loads of work when a virus attack

Once upon a time, there was a software engineer who used to develop programs on his Pentium machine, sitting under a tree on the banks of a river. He used to earn his bread by selling those programs in the Sunday market.
One day, while he was working, his machine tumbled off the table and fell in the river. Encouraged by the story of his childhood, the woodcutter and the axe, he started praying to the River Goddess. The River Goddess wanted to test him and so appeared only after one month of rigorous prayers. The engineer told her

The biggest advantage of Microsoft Windows is that we can tweak it to any level through registry and make Windows work our way. And the biggest disadvantage of Microsoft Windows is the registry itself :-). Huh .. if the registry is corrupt, who will pay for it? .. because if the registry is corrupt, everything is gone.
I like tweaking Windows registry to get the desired results as we can type any command in Linux to get our desired results. Anyway, today we are going to edit the recently typed URLs history in the Internet Explorer. Let me elaborate it through the screen shot.

The Notification area (or system tray) in the Windows taskbar displays the current time and icons that indicate the active status of various programs which are running right now. You can choose which items will show up in the notification area and which will never show up. The default is that only active programs get showed and if the program becomes inactive, it will go to the hidden list. You can use the small arrow key on the taskbar to show all the programs (active and inactive).
As time passes by, and the more programs we use, the more programs accumulate on the notification area. Even though we are not using all the [...]
