Step by Step process to increase your PC's Virtual Memory in Windows OS

In windows operating system virtual memory refers to that memory space in hard drive which is allocated for share memory when system runs out of physical memory reside in RAM. 

Virtual memory is very much useful for swap memory space when Random Access memory is not sufficient to execute any specific request then it transfer unused process to virtual memory and allocate space for currently requested process. So it works as RAM and increases memory size virtually.

In windows virtual memory is basically a file which is called paged file. It is a logical extension of random access memory in hard drive because RAM memory is expensive than hard drive memory and system has limitation of using maximum RAM size.

So, it is important to know where virtual memory is formed in hard drive and how much memory it occupies to create page file.

Below you will find the clean picture and steps to manage and create virtual memory:-

1. First right click on My Computer icon in the desktop->then click on Properties->now a new window will open, here you should select Advanced TAB.

5. Another new window will open; here you will find three radio tabs, one is Set Custom Size, which is for individual Drive and you can set the size as per your requirements. Second is “system managed size”, which is for best performance and file size will determine by system. Third option is no paging file, which do not allow create page file or virtual memory.

6. In the bottom you can also see system recommended page file size for your system, which will help you to decide which option you should select for your system virtual memory management.

Activity log is one of them where we will find all of our recent activities on profile, example: Any “Like” on own or others post, comments, status update, add new photos, invites someone to add group, add albums, send friend request etc. But sometimes we face problem with disappear recent activity from Facebook timeline or wall post from profile. This problem is one of the common problems in new feature. It may happen in two stage of your account.  - When your account transfer from old wall view to Timeline or New profile in Timeline. - Another stage is for existing Timeline account, where recent activity disappears without any specific reason.

Now set your visibility settings from privacy setting or directly fro

Brief and Examples on Simplex, Half-Duplex, Full-Duplex Transmission

In data communication, there are three types of communication styles; they are Simplex, Half-Duplex and Full-Duplex. Here we discuss about their characteristics with examples. Simplex: In this communication style data can send only and basically it is one way or uni-direction communication. This type of communication is not widely used for transmit trusted data because it can not send any error or control signal to sender terminal. This style of communication is vastly used in Radio and TV where we can see and hear or receive data only but we can not send any information data by the same channel. Half-Duplex: Half-Duplex is another type of communication style where data can and send and receive but not at the same time. In this communication type, if data is send from one end, then we can not send data from another that means communication establish in one direction.  This communication vastly used in walkie-talkie, intercom, string phone etc. The practical exam

Limit user from changing system time and date in Windows OS

Most of us do not concern with system date and time. But it is one of most important factor in all operating system because when all software need system date and time for any update whether it is server end or end user end. Here we are talking about the importance of system date and time and procedure to restrict user from changing system date and time from front end or user end. So we need to keep it intact without any unnecessary changes. If any user except can have the right to change date and time from user end, then it will fall us in deep trouble specially when we run software which take entry time input from end user end. There are also many software mechanisms which does not allow date and time difference to start up.  For above reason we do not give user access to change date and time from user end. We can limit the user from this feature. Here I show steps how we can control user access in windows operating systems. Steps to follow:- 1. Go to "Start menu" an
