Make Backup of Music for your I phone

Now its not a serious issue to make a backup of your music files in the way old NANO i pods of generations , but its not an easy task in I PHONES or I TOUCH wherein you can't figure out anything in the folders , opening everything here and there ...

So i found two solutions foe the same recently for a friend with i phone searching on the internet a lot !! :

1 Connect a dongle to your Computers USB and switch on your wireless network of i phone , connect both of them using FTP from your machine. Then deep inside one of the folders of your i phone in the ftp you shall be able to find a folder named music - thats the one !! grab it !

2 The second solution is irritating though but those without a dongle can work around with this .
Its irritating since now those using a too lot of i tunes shall have to install WINAMP to do this task , since its a support software by winamp , so being very smart they do not allow you to use the software unless you dont have winamp in your machines , so once you are done with the installation of winamp download this package :

download winamp i phone plugin

and once you are done installing this , when you connect your i phone to your machine and then open up winamp , it shall show your i phone in the left hand explorer, click on the same and here it opens up all your files in the music library , right click on any and select copy to hard drive option , and done ! your file has been saved !

one of the best freeware :

I tried finding a lot on the internet for something which can grab things flowing out from my sound card onto the speakers without being saved on my hard disk , so here i found the solution for my worries ... and that too absolutely free

http://www.mp3mymp3.com/

download mp3mymp3 software , its interface is too easy for even an amateur like me to understand things very easily

so next time you listen to songs online radios , or things which lets you hear but not download ,,, here is the solution to it ... !

Now this is something important for those who are administrators or people who are handling a series of computers in a lab or a network in the office and wants to restrict the users from changing their desktops and screen savers to something really pathetic

There is an option to hide the desktop and the screensaver tab from the properties window

follow the group edit policy of windows :

1 run gpedit.msc
2 open User Configuration > Administrative templates > Control Panel > Display >
3 Here there shall be many options of hiding many things , double click on the ones you want to apply by selecting configured for the options.

and done ! check the properties tab it shall not display the desktop and the screen saver tab now ;)

SQL to find Duplicates

SELECT FIELD1, COUNT(*) AS A FROM TABLE_NAME
WHERE RECORD_YEAR = 2007
GROUP BY FIELD1 HAVING (COUNT(FIELD1) > 1)

or to find only one occurence of a value in the field:

SELECT FIELD1, COUNT(*) AS A FROM TABLE_NAME
WHERE RECORD_YEAR = 2007
GROUP BY FIELD1 HAVING (COUNT(FIELD1) = 1)

Change any Windows User Password Without Having to Know the Old One

How to know every user account that exists on a Windows XP machine (even the ones that are hidden) ? And how to re-password any account without having to know the existing password ?

To view all of the user accounts:

1. While logged onto the computer, click on Start > Run > and type in CMD
2. From the command prompt window, type in net users. This will show you every account that is made onto the computer whether it is hidden or not.

To change an account password:

1. While logged onto the computer to an account that has administrative rights, click on Start > Run > and type in command.
2. Type in net user then the name of the account then * and press enter.
Example: net user administrator * or net user “John Miller” * (Put the name in quotes if it contains spaces)
3. From there it should ask for a new password. Type in your new password and press enter (type very carefully and check your CAPS Lock because the command window won’t display what you type) and once more to confirm it. If you get the message that the command succeeded successfully you’ve changed the password.
