[How To]Block access to certain drives in Windows 7 ultimate/premium

Filed under Computer tricks, Security Tips, Windows 7 Tricks and Tips, Windows Tricks by on May 1, 2011 at 7:29 pm {no comments}

I usually store all my important files and documents in one separate drive on my laptop and I always wish that no one else could touch them without my permission. And when I give my laptop to other people I always fear that the person using my lappy might access my personal files. If your computer is accessed by many people then you may want to restrict access to certain drives on your computer for other users.

To block access to drive go to Computer and right click on the drive and select properties. In the properties window click on ‘Security’ tab. Select the user account you want to restrict and click on edit.

Change the permissions according to your need for user groups or a particular user and click Apply and then OK.  It will not work for users with admin account as even they have the same rights as you so they can revert all permissions. You will need an admin account to perform this task.This trick is for Windows 7 ultimate and premium edition users.

Enjoy!!

If you have been using the latest Firefox 4 then by now you might have noticed that the ‘Save and Quit’ option is missing when you try to close your Firefox with multiple tabs open. If you are missing this display message just like me then here is a small “how to” to get it back in your FF4. Follow the simple steps below.

  1. Open your Firefox 4.
  2. In the address bar (where you type tipsfromgeek.com) type “about:config” without quotes and press enter.
  3. In the next page it will warn you and ask you to promise that you’ll be careful. Click on the button and go to the next page.
  4. In the next page type browser.showQuitWarning and double click on the filtered entry to change its value to true.
  5. Now click on the close button of your FF4 to see if it is showing you the ‘Save and Quit’ message box and you are done.

When you backup your blackberry phone the data is saved in .ipd format. This file contains all the data which is there on your phone and you can use it later to restore your data. But sometimes you do need to open this file on your computer and manipulate the data.

Magicberry is a free application which allows you to open and manipulate IPD files with ease. One can read almost all data from the IPD file using MagicBerry. It can extract SMS Messages, Phone Call Logs, Address Book, Service Book, Tasks, memos and calendar data from the file.
