Windows xp has an option that will preview the file in thumbnail view. You don't need to preview the file in the left pane. But if you want, windows xp still has the pane to let you preview the file or using the above method.

Whoa! Tell me you're not serious, Bryce, lad... You want to use your $2000 PC as a wireless TV remote? Rather inconvenient, I should think, having to lug it into the living room every time you want to change channels. IR is line-of-sight, you know... Or are you installing mirrors in all the doorways?
IrDA is a standard unto itself, though it works just like a serial port. You can buy transceiver adapters for the PC, but I doubt that you're going to find an off-the-shelf package that knows the codes for communicating with your TV box. You might be able to write your own routines, but how will you discover the right codes? They don't generally publish such things. Buy a $9.95 handheld remote and select your model from the menu...
If God had meant men to watch TV from the computer, He would have made office chairs sturdy enough to comfortably hold a woman in a man's lap and equipped them with armrests that include beer holders.

Ya. you cant recover your setp password(as of what i know).
You have only 1 option left with u i.e remove ur CMOS batterry for a minute & then re-place it there & reboot.
You can even change the CMOS battery. Its cheap around 40-50$

Thank you very much for your information. As far as I know that for the desktop computer we could change the CMOS battery or change the jumper setting based on the mainboard configuration. But for this case, it is the laptop computer. So I don't know how to remover the battery of the CMOS from the laptop. Do you have any more comment???

Is it really ctrl+p or the other short cut key combination. If it is possible, could you review and give me the resource where did you get the above information???

I got my Dell bios master password and Hard Drive (HDD) master password. They also do this for HP, Compaq, Fujitsu, Acer, Sony and Samsung laptops and desktops.
Just go to http://www.mastermindit.biz/freedellbios.html
Send your Dell model and service tag and they will email back your bios master password and or HDD master password for your Dell computer.

Remove BIOS battery then back battery again in

if u have administrator or user password to login in ur laptop then u should hack it or the long way is to reinstall OS PC.

Hidden partitions are used by some disreputable manufacturers in place of Recovery CDs, also used by disreputable manufacturers but more expensive. Reputable manufacturers distribute real OS CDs with the operating system you paid for intact and licensed. Hidden partitions usually contain a system image of the original setup so that it can be easily restored by the press of a key on bootup. You may be able to access it using a custom program, depending upon the protections assigned to it, and the user permissions of the account that you use to run the program - it wouldn't hurt to try.
The FORMAT command works on logical drives, not partitions, so FORMAT C: will destroy the C: drive, but not the D: drive contained in the same extended partition. Of course, that will rarely happen, as the C: drive is usually created in a Primary partition, which can only contain one logical drive, and the rest of the logical drives on the same hard drive are created in an Extended partition (which can hold 4 logical drives). My server is a bit weird, as it has C on Drive 0, D and E on a second physical drive (Drive 1), and boots from J (on Drive 0), but that's not the norm.
The usual procedure is to use FDISK to create a Primary partition on physical Drive 0, then allocate the rest of the drive to an Extended partition. Primary partitions are bootable, so a logical drive C is created on the Primary partition. Additional logical drives are created in the Extended partition. Each logical drive is then formatted using FORMAT, and the OS is installed on the logical drive in the Primary partition. Running FORMAT on one logical drive will not affect the other logical drives on the same physical drive, or within the same partition.

Hi Roger,
But what actually i would like to know is:
(1) How I can attain a situation in which system at boot time will ask for "press h to boot from hidden partition"
(2) How I can transfer the control to hidden partiton booting.
(3) Is it possible to program BIOS?...so that at boot time it will automatically transfers control to hidden partition address.

Hi,
I want to know how to get the status of RAM i.e
(1) how much size it is having?
(2) How many memory locations are available(free)?
(3) How many memory locations are in bad state?
(4) what is the status of DATA BUS(working or not)?
(5) what is the status of Address BUS(working or not)?
All these things i need to check prior to OS installations.
So is there any way to get it?
Help me please

The Power On Self Test (POST) in the BIOS tests all these functions, then loads the OS. If the PC gets through POST, the memory is good.

POST is meant as a simple check and doesn't test memory particularly thoroughly. Also, most systems now come configured for 'Quick POST' which is even less thorough.
For a deeper memory test, try Windows Memory Diagnostic[^] or memtest86[^].

but sir can u tell me the way by which i am able to use the post execution information.if yes explain me.

I think these information could be obtain from the CMOS configuration. It will display for your the amount of your memory. For windows operating system if you want to check the status of the memory try to use the command mem in the MS-DOS prompt.
