Digital watch: Questions & Answers

Africa » Gambia
Wednesday, September 16, 2009
Hello Digital Watch
I created a partition but I realised the default C: drive has a smaller capacity. How can I change the default location of my installation to my D: drive, which has a higher space
Answer:
For window XP uses the C:\Program Files directory as the default base directory into which new programs are installed. However, you can change the default installation drive and/ or directory by using a Registry hack. I used partition magic to increase the size of  my C: drive making it higher than my backup drive D:

To use the registry hack:
Run the Registry Editor (regedit)
? Start ?  cmd and type regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
Look for the value named ProgramFilesDir. by default, this value will be C:\Program Files. Edit the value to any valid drive eg, D:\Program Files. or folder and window XP will use that new location as the default installation directory for new programs  or location.
Note: backup your registry for incase you lose the paddle.

2. How to get correct information from Google..
Its is very weird some times when you have to spend the whole day searching for information and yet you get nothing
 This is a tip to get almost every thing you want on Google
Do this:
"parent directory " /appz/ -mp3 -html -php (here what you are looking for are application file =appz, mp3 files , html and php file.)
?intitle:index.of? mp3 mapacha  (You only need add the name of the song/artist/singer eg mapacha )

3. Hello Digital  Wactch
Thank you for the tutorial you provide on the paper. May God bless you all and the company you working with.
The internet provide all types of stuffs and I don't want my kids at home to have access to certain unrated site how can I block certain websites from being access
Answer:  Am glad some one is utilising the knowledge am sharing, I understand your worries to block websites you can do it manually but I will recommend that you used a software am 100% sure of ZONE ALARM TOTAL SECURITY.  with this program you only need to set parental control on the PC with a password, any rated site will automatically be denied,
 Another way to block a site manually
Follow the Steps:
Go to my computer
Browse C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
Find the file named "HOSTS"
Open it in notepad ? By Right Click on it
Under "127.0.0.1 localhost" Add 127.0.0.2 www.sitenameyouwantblocked.com , and that site will no longer be accessible to that user.
Done ! that all you need to do..
Example continue any time you want to add other sites
127.0.0.1 localhost   (local host  is the site you want to block)
127.0.0.2 www.blockedme.com
For every site block after that you want to add another, just add "1" to the last number in the internal ip (127.0.0.2) like am doing below
127.0.0.3 www.mapacha.com
127.0.0.4 www.mapachanjie.com
127.0.0.5 www.mnjie.com

4. Hello Digital Watch,
I hate browsing at home, is it possible to optimized my DSL cable connection speed,  
Answer: Yes it is possible,
The last time I fix this problem, this is what I did,  though I did not have the chance to sit on another modem  but I believe it will work as well for you
First, u need to go to Start, then run. Type in regedit in the box. Next, go to the folder HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\VxD\MSTCP
Now, find the string DefaultRcvWindow. Now, edit the number to 64240, this number may vary with the modem, I require further reading on the number, then restart your computer. There you go. High-speed cable modem now with out loading a program.
Hope it work. please give me a feedback if it fail to work
