Disable or Enable Auto run for removable devices (Pendirve, DVD,etc)

Autorun or Auto play option enables executable files in removable media automatically execute without any prior permission from user. For an example, when we insert Windows installation CD into our CD or DVD ROM or writer it will start execution automatically and show a menu window for easy navigation of installation.

Auto run has some drawback like if our CD or DVD or Pendrive contains any virus related exe file, then it execute automatically and affect our system after insert the removable media without any prompt. This can destroy our system in a second. So auto run is risky in this perspective.

Here also another issue, if exe files inside the media are somehow corrupted or wrongly coded then it just hangs our system after a period of time and we do not have any option except restart the system.

So, disable auto run may be a clever task for system performance with removable media. And after insert the media, first we have to check for virus, then expand it by explore or open option and thereafter click on exe files if we need to execute it.

We can easily disable autorun option for all removable devices on windows OS by following steps:-

1. Go to start button ->then select RUN from menu->type gpedit.msc


Disable Auto run

2. You will find above window, Here you expand Computer configuration->Administrative Templates->Double click on System.

3. In right pane you will find Trun off Autoplay, double click here to appear a new window.

4. Now you select Enable to stop all autorun by selecting all drives. But if you want to start autorun you have to select Disable.

Facebook timeline recent activity and post disappeared

Facebook Timeline gives our profile a new graphical look. It also launches many new features. 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. The first case we can handle very easily. It basically happen due to transfer and the solution depends on visibility of your post or activity like (Public, Friends and Custom). 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
