How to Find Your Old 32-Bit Program Files

Whether you have just purchased a new Windows 7 computer or upgraded an old one, you can use the following steps to find your old 32-bit programs.
  1. Log on to your Windows 7 computer
  1. Right-click the My Computer icon at the top left hand corner of the screen
  1. Choose the Open option
  1. Double-click Local Disk
  1. Look for the Program Files (x86) folder
Any 32-bit programs will be displayed under the Program Files (x86) file structure, while 64-bit programs will be displayed under the normal Program Files folder. You can easily scroll through the subfolders under each branch to see which programs are installed on your Windows 7 computer.
This process is also a good way to determine which pieces of software are older 32-bit programs and which ones are 64-bit. This can be an important distinction, since the Windows 7 operating system is optimized for the latest 64-bit programs.

Connect Your Xbox to a Windows 7 Computer

Just follow these simple steps to connect your Xbox to your Windows 7 desktop or laptop PC.
  1. Log on to your computer and click Start, then Control Panel and Network and Internet
  2. Choose the Home Group and Sharing option from the list
  3. Find and click the Change Advanced Sharing Settings option
  4. Go to the Media Streaming option and click the Choose Media Streaming section
  5. Choose Turn on Media Streaming. Click Choose Default Settings. If you prefer you can set up parental controls and ratings to prevent your kids from accessing content you do not want them to see.
  6. Click OK to complete the setup on your computer
  7. Turn on the Xbox and go to the My Xbox channel. Choose Music, Video or Picture Library from the list. Select your PC from the list, then click the movie, music or other content you want to play.

Get Administrator Access Without a Password

There are a number of ways to gain access to a password-protected administrator account. I'll offer two.
The first one is quick and easy, but only works in XP. If the used PC runs Vista or Windows 7, skip the next three paragraphs.

XP contains a backdoor entrance to administrator control. The following will only work if the previous owner didn't know enough to close the backdoor. First, boot into Safe Mode: Start your PC, and press F5 before the Windows logo appears. (It may take a few tries to get the timing right.) From the resulting Boot menu, select Safe Mode. When the logon screen appears, it will probably contain a user you've never seen before, Administrator, that does not have a password. Thus, you can enter Windows as an administrator-level user.
Once inside Windows, you can use Control Panel's User Accounts applet to change the password on the other administrator account or create a new one for yourself. And while you're there, you might also want to add a password to the Administrator account in order to close the backdoor. But that's probably the case.
If you're using Vista or Windows 7, or if someone closed that backdoor already, you can remove the administrator password with Ubuntu Linux. This gets a little complicated, so follow it closely.
If you don't already have a live Ubuntu Linux CD, download the current version. Double-click the just-downloaded .iso file. Windows might start a program that burns your Ubuntu CD. If it doesn't, download and install ISO Recorder, then try again. Simply copying the .iso file to a CD won't work.
The instructions below are based on Ubuntu version 10.04.1 LTS--the most current version as I write this.
Once you've created the disc, boot off the CD. When asked, click the Try Ubuntu button.

You'll first need to install the software: From the menus in the top-right corner of the screen, select System, Administration, Software Sources. In the resulting window, check the two options not yet checked: Community-maintained Open Source software (universe) and Softrware restricted by copyright or legal issues (multiverse). Click Close, then Reload.
After the program is done processing, select System, Administration, and Synaptic Package Manager from the top-right corner menus.
In the resulting window's Search field, enter chntpw. A program with that name should appear in the list of packages below. Click it and select Mark for installation. Click the Apply toolbar icon. Click Apply, and wait until the installation is complete.

Now mount your drive: From the top menus, select Places, then your internal hard drive or Windows partition. When it's mounted, a File Browser window (much like Windows Explorer) will appear.
By double-clicking the folder icons, go to the Windows drive's Windows\system32\config folder. Leave this window up.
Now you can remove the password.
From the top menus, select Applications, Accessories, Terminal. This brings up a black window similar to Windows' command line (or the DOS box for you old-timers).

Arrange these two windows so that you can see the top section of the File Browser window behind the Terminal window. In the Terminal command line window, type cd /media/ (note the SPACE after cd) and the path to your config folder, using the folder names at the top as a guide. I wish I could simply tell you to type "cd /media/windows/system32/config", but unlike the Windows command line, Ubuntu's Terminal is case sensitive. Depending on what version of Windows you're trying to reclaim, it may be windows/system32 or Windows/System32, and Ubuntu won't see it if you get the case wrong.
When it's typed, press ENTER.
Now type sudo chntpw -u logon SAM, where logon is the logon name for the administrator account. For instance, if you're trying to take over my account, you'd enter sudo chntpw -u Lincoln SAM. Remember, everything here is case sensitive, including the logon name.
After you hit ENTER, a lot of text will scroll up very quickly. If you entered the text correctly, the last section will begin ". . . . User Edit Menu:"

Now press 1 (the number, not lower-case L), then ENTER.
At the resulting question, press y.
When the program is done, click the power button logo in the upper-right corner and reboot into Windows. The account in question will no longer require a password

Command Prompt Tricks

1. Use Ctrl-C to Abort a Command

Ctrl-C - Command Prompt Tricks
Just about any command can be stopped in its tracks with the abort command: Ctrl-C.
If you haven't actually executed a command, you can just backspace and erase what you've typed, but if you've already executed it then you can do a Ctrl-C to stop it.
Warning: Ctrl-C isn't a magic wand and it can't undo things that aren't undoable, like a partially complete format command. However, for things like the dir command that seem to go on forever or questions you're asked at the prompt that you don't know the answer to, the abort command is an excellent Command Prompt trick to know.

2. View a Command's Results One Page (or Line) at a Time

More Command - Command Prompt Tricks
Ever run a command, like the dir command, that produces so much information on the screen that it's almost useless? You're not alone.
One way around this is to execute the command in a special way so whatever information is generated is shown to you one page, or one line, at a time.
To do this, just type the command, the dir command for example, and then follow it with the pipe redirection operator and then the more command.
For example, executing dir /s | more will generate the thousands of lines of results that you expect from the dir command, but the more command will pause each page of results with -- More -- at the bottom of the page, indicating that the command is not done running.
Just press the space bar to advance by page or press the Enter key to advance one line at a time.
See Command Prompt Trick #7 below for a different solution to this problem.

3. Run Command Prompt as an Administrator Automatically

Command Prompt Admin Shortcut - Command Prompt Tricks
Many commands require that you execute them from an elevated Command Prompt in Windows - in other words, execute them from a Command Prompt that's run as an administrator.
You can always right-click on any Command Prompt shortcut and choose Run as administrator but creating a shortcut to do the same thing can be a huge time saver if you're a frequent Command Prompt power user.
To complete this Command Prompt trick, just create a Command Prompt shortcut on the desktop, enter the shortcut's properties and then select the Run as administrator box located in the Advanced button on the Shortcut tab.

4. Become a Command Prompt Power User with Function Keys

Command Prompt Function Keys - Command Prompt Tricks
The fact that the function keys actually do something in the Command Prompt is maybe one of the best kept secrets about the tool:
F1: Pastes the last executed command (character by character)
F2: Pastes the last executed command (up to the entered character)
F3: Pastes the last executed command
F4: Deletes current prompt text up to the entered character
F5: Pastes recently executed commands (does not cycle)
F6: Pastes ^Z to the prompt
F7: Displays a selectable list of previously executed commands
F8: Pastes recently executed commands (cycles)
F9: Asks for the number of the command from the F7 list to paste
Command Prompt Trick #17 is full of arrow key shortcuts, a few of which are similar to these function key tricks.

5. Hack the Prompt Text

Prompt Command - Command Prompt Tricks
Did you know that the prompt itself in the Command Prompt is completely customizable thanks to the prompt command? It is, and when I say customizable, I mean really customizable.
Instead of C:\>, you can set the prompt to any text you want, have it include the time, the current drive, the Windows version number, you name it.
One useful example is prompt $m$p$g which will show the full path of a mapped drive in the prompt, alongside the drive letter.
You can always execute prompt alone, without options, to return it to its sometimes boring default.

6. Get Help for Any Command

Help Switch - Command Prompt Tricks
Believe it or not, the help command does not provide help for every Command Prompt command. However, any command can be suffixed with the /? option, usually called the help switch, to display detailed information about the command's syntax and often times even some examples.
I doubt that the help switch is the coolest Command Prompt trick you've ever heard of, but it's hard to disagree that it's one of the more useful.
Unfortunately, neither the help command nor the help switch offer much in the way of explaining how to interpret the syntax. See How To Read Command Syntax if you need help with that.

7. Save a Command's Output to a File

Command Output - Command Prompt Tricks
An incredibly useful Command Prompt trick is the use of redirection operators, specifically the > and >> operators.
These little characters let you redirect the output of a command to a file, giving you a saved version of whatever data the command produced in the Command Prompt window.
Let's say you're about to post a computer problem to an online forum, like my computer support forum for example, and you want to provide really accurate information about your computer. An easy way to do that would be to use the systeminfo command with a redirection operator.
For example, you might execute systeminfo > c:\mycomputerinfo.txt to save the information provided by the systeminfo command to a file. You could then attach the file to your forum post.
See How To Redirect Command Output to a File for more examples and a better explanation of how to use redirection operators.

8. View Your Hard Drive's Entire Directory Structure

Directory Structure with Tree Command - Command Prompt Tricks
I think one of the neatest little commands is the tree command. With tree, you can create a kind of map of your computer's directories.
Execute tree from any directory to see the folder structure under that directory.
Tip: With so much information, it's probably a good idea to export the results of the tree command to a file. For example, tree /a > c:\treeresults.txt, just as explained in Command Prompt Trick #7.

9. Customize the Command Prompt Title Bar Text

Command Prompt Title Bar - Command Prompt Tricks
Tired of that Command Prompt title bar text? No problem, just use the title command to change it to whatever you like.
For example, let's say your name is Maria Smith, and you want to express your ownership of the Command Prompt: execute title Property of Maria Smith and the Command Prompt's title bar will change immediately.
The change won't stick, so the next time you open Command Prompt the title bar will be back to normal.
The title command is usually used to help give a custom appearance in script files and batch files... not that I'm saying titling it with your name isn't a good idea!

10. Copy From the Command Prompt

Mark Feature in Command Prompt - Command Prompt Tricks
As you may or may not know, copying from the Command Prompt is not as easy as copying from other programs, which is part of the reason why saving a command's output to a file, Command Prompt Trick #7, is so handy.
But what if you do just want to copy a short section of text to the clipboard? It's not too hard but it's not very intuitive either.
Right-click anywhere in the Command Prompt window and choose Mark. Now, highlight with your left mouse button whatever you'd like to copy. Once your selection is made, press Enter.
Now you can paste that information into whatever program you'd like.

11. Open the Command Prompt From Any Location

Open Command Window Here - Command Prompt Tricks
If you've ever worked in the Command Prompt for very long, you know that it can be really frustrating executing the cd/chdir command over and over again to get to the right directory you want to work from.
Luckily, there's a super easy Command Prompt trick that will let you open a Command Prompt window from whatever folder you're viewing in Windows.
All you have to do is navigate, in Windows, to the folder you want to start working from in the Command Prompt. Once there, hold down your Shift key while you right-click anywhere in the folder. Once the menu pops up, you'll notice an entry that's not usually there: Open command window here.
Click it and you'll start a new instance of the Command Prompt, ready and waiting at the right location!
If you're a Command Prompt power user, you'll immediately recognize the value in this little trick.

12. Drag and Drop For Easy Path Name Entry

Command Prompt Drag and Drop - Command Prompt Tricks
Most Command Prompt commands require you, or have options, to specify full paths to files or folders but typing out a long path can be frustrating, especially when you miss a character and have to start over.
For example, in Windows 7, the path to the Accessories group in my Start Menu is C:\Users\Tim\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories. Who wants to type that all in manually? Not me.
Luckily there's a Command Prompt trick that makes this much easier: drag and drop.
Just navigate to the folder you want the path for in Windows Explorer. Once there, drag the folder or file to the Command Prompt window and let go. Like magic, the full path is inserted, saving you a considerable amount of typing depending on the length and complexity of the path name.
Note: Unfortunately, the drag and drop feature does not work in an elevated Command Prompt.

13. Shut Down or Restart Another Computer

Remote Shutdown Dialog - Command Prompt Tricks
System administrators in a business environment do this all the time for lots of reasons, but you can also shut down or restart another computer on your network, all from your computer's Command Prompt.
The easiest way to shut down a computer remotely is to execute shutdown /i from the Command Prompt which will open the Remote Shutdown Dialog, shown here. Just enter the name of the remote computer (which you can get by running the hostname command on the other PC), choose what you want to do (restart or shutdown), select some other options and then click OK.
So whether you're brushing up on your command skills or just scaring a family member, this Command Prompt trick is a fun one.
You can also shut down or restart another computer strictly from the Command Prompt with the shutdown command, without using the Remote Shutdown Dialog.

14. Use Robocopy as a Backup Solution

Robocopy Command Backup - Command Prompt Tricks
Thanks to the robocopy command, you don't need to use Window's backup software or install a third party program to manage your backups.
Just execute robocopy c:\users\tim\documents f:\backup\documents /copyall /e /r:0 /dcopy:t /mir, obviously replacing the source and destination folders with whatever you'd like to backup and where. The robocopy command with these options functions identically to an incremental backup software tool, keeping both locations in sync.
You don't have the robocopy command if you're using Windows XP or earlier. However, you do have the xcopy command, which can be used to do something very similar: xcopy c:\users\tim\documents f:\backup\documents /c /d /e /h /i /k /q /r /s /x /y.
No matter which command you choose to use, just create a script file containing the command and schedule it to run in Task Scheduler and you'll have your own custom made backup solution.
I've chosen to use the robocopy command on my personal computers as my only local backup solution because I like the level of control it gives me. Hopefully you take that as a vote of confidence in this incredibly useful Command Prompt trick.

15. View Your Computer's Important Network Information

Ipconfig Command - Command Prompt Tricks
Maybe just for your own information, but certainly when you're troubleshooting a network or Internet problem, you'll probably at some point need to know details about your computer's network connection.
Everything you'd want to know about your network connection is available somewhere in the Control Panel in Windows, but it's much easier to find, and much better organized, in the results from the ipconfig command.
Open Command Prompt and execute ipconfig /all. What displays on screen next is everything important about your network connection: your IP address, hostname, DHCP server, DNS information, and much, much more.
Combine this hack with Command Prompt Trick #7 and you've got a very easy way to get information about your connection to someone helping you with a problem.

16. Map a Local Folder Just Like a Network Drive

Subst Command - Command Prompt Tricks
The net use command is used to assign shared drives on a network to your own computer as a drive letter, but did you know there's another command that can be used to do the same thing to any folder on any of your local hard drives?
There is and it's called the subst command. Just execute the subst command, followed by the path of the folder you wish to appear as a drive. For example, let's say you want your C:\Windows\Fonts folder to appear as the Q: drive. Just execute subst q: c:\windows\fonts and you're set!
This Command Prompt trick makes accessing a particular location from the Command Prompt much easier.

17. Access Previously Used Command with the Arrow Keys

Arrow Keys - Command Prompt Tricks
Another great Command Prompt trick has to be the use of the keyboard arrow keys to cycle through previously executed commands. The up and down arrow keys cycle through the commands you've entered and the right arrow automatically enters, character by character, the last command you executed.
This might not sound that interesting, but there are several situations where the arrow keys become huge time savers.
Consider this example: You've typed out 75 characters of a command and then try to execute it, only to find that you forgot to add an option at the very end. No problem, just hit the up arrow and the entire command is automatically entered in the Command Prompt window, ready for you to edit to make it work.

18. Automatically Complete Commands with Tab Completion

Tab Completion - Command Prompt Tricks
Tab completion is another Command Prompt trick that can save you lots of time, especially if your command has a file or folder name in it that you're not completely sure of.
To use tab completion in the Command Prompt, just enter the command and then the portion of the path that you do know, if at all. Then press the tab key over and over to cycle through all of the available possibilities.
For example, let's say you want to change directories to some folder in the Windows directory but you're not sure what it's named. Type cd c:\windows\ and then press tab until you see the folder you're looking for. The results cycle or you can use Shift+Tab to step through the results in reverse

19. Find a Website's IP Address

Website IP Address - Command Prompt Tricks
Like to know the IP address of a website? There are a few different commands you can use to find it.
Let's use the nslookup command to find the IP address of About.com. Just execute nslookup about.com and view the result. Make sure you don't confuse any private IP addresses that also show up in the nslookup results alongside About.com's public IP address.
Another way to find a site's IP address is to use the ping command. Execute ping about.com and then look at the IP address between the brackets in the results shown.
Using either Command Prompt trick, the result is 207.241.148.80.

20. Copy & Paste Easier with QuickEdit Mode

QuickEdit Mode - Command Prompt Tricks
How about an even easier way to copy from the Command Prompt? And a secret way to easily paste?
Just right-click on the Command Prompt title bar and select Properties. On the Options tab, in the Edit Options section, check the QuickEdit Mode box and then click OK.
Enabling QuickEdit Mode is like having Mark enabled all the time so selecting text to copy is really easy.
But it also enables an easy way to paste into the Command Prompt: just right click once and whatever is in the clipboard is pasted in the Command Prompt window. Normally, pasting involves right-clicking and selecting Paste.

21. Watch Star Wars Episode IV

ASCII Star Wars - Command Prompt Tricks
Yes, you read that correctly, you can watch an ASCII version of the full Star Wars Episode IV movie right in the Command Prompt window!
Just open Command Prompt and execute telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl. The movie will start immediately. This isn't a terribly productive use of the Command Prompt, nor is it really a trick of the Command Prompt or any command, but it sure is fun!
Note: The telnet command is not enabled by default in Windows 7 or Windows Vista but can be turned on by enabling Telnet Client from Windows Features in the Programs and Features applet in Control Panel. If you'd rather not enable Telnet but would like to see the movie, you can also watch it in your browser here.

Customize your desktop right-click menu

Today I’ll show you an easy trick, allowing you to add application shortcuts to your desktop right-click menu. Thus you can facilitate access to some of the programs installed on your computer or even to free additional space on your desktop by moving some of the icons in the menu, saving valuable space on the desktop, but at the same time  remaining easily accessible. The only thing you need to do is open the registry editor and add several new lines as explained below. For the next example I will try to add a shortcut to Windows Control Panel in the right-click menu of my desktop.  Let’s see
.
1. Open the Start menu, type regedit.exe in the search box and press Enter.
2. Now go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell , create new key and rename it to a name of your choice (in my example it will be Control Panel).  Remember that the name of this key will be exactly the same as will appear in the menu.
3. Right click on Shell, then select New > Key and rename it. You should see something similar to the picture below.


4. Now you need to create a subkey containing the command information required to start the Control Panel   application.  Do this by right-clicking on the key that you just created, then select New > Key and rename this subkey command.
5. To edit the name and data value for the new subkey just double click on the “Default” or the small “ab” icon in the right hand window.
6. Then in the Value data field enter full path to the .exe file of the program you wish to start.  In this example it must be   C:\WINDOWS\system32\control.exe . 
 Here is the place to mention that .exe files of the various programs may have different locations on the hard drive, so you will probably need to find them manually. However, there are two basic rules you should follow. As you may know Control Panel is a system component so we can say that it is part of the operating system that was installed during the installation of Windows.
Therefore you must look for it in the C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder as this is the defalt installation folder for all system applications.On the other hand, all user programs (like multimedia players, browsers, office tools, etc.) should be located in C:\Program Files but this entirely depends on how your system is organized.
7.This is the final result of our example. Note that you can add as many programs as you wish, simply by repeating the steps above.

Primary partitions in Windows 7

The partitioning process in Windows 7 is similar to that in Windows Xp with the exception of a few minor differences which are described below. Unlike XP, when creating a new partition in Windows 7 you don’t have the opportunity to choose whether it will be primary or logical, as this task is performed automatically by the disk manager. Thus when you create partitions using Disk Management, the first three volumes you create will always be formatted as primary partitions while the fourth volume will be configured as a logical drive within an extended partition. There are also several interesting features in Disk Management, allowing the creation of spanned, stripped or mirrored volumes. However, to create a partition or volume on a hard disk, there must be either unallocated space or free space within an extended partition on the hard disk and of course you must be logged on as an administrator.


1. Open Computer Management by clicking the My computer icon with the right mouse button and then clicking Manage from the menu.
2. When the Computer Management window opens select Disk Management from the navigation panel panel on the left.
3. Right-click on unallocated space on your hard disk, and then click New Simple Volume.

4. Now you can type the size of the volume you want to create in megabytes (MB) or accept the default size, which is the maximum available space. Then click Next.
5. In the next window you can choose a drive letter for identification of the new partition or accept the default one. Click Next.

6. In the Format Partition window you can leave all options as they are set by default. More interesting here is the Quick format option which is much faster than a normal format but it doesn’t completely erase the data and doesn’t check the new volume for errors.

7. In the last window you can review your choices and then close the wizard by clicking Finish.

8. Finally, you should have a new primary partition (volume) and less unallocated space.

Of course your new volume should also appear in the My computer window.
