Windows 7 XP Mode Losses password

Just thought i share yet another tips i experience and solved it with the help of mr google..

I setup a Windows & Pro PC and trying to use the Windows Virtual PC everything went on smoothly except for thatafter i install SQL Server 7.0 in Windows XP Mode, the XP Mode asked for a password for user XPMUser whereas i never specified any password before.

After some searching i found the solution from  another forum...

specifically try to find the below entry by Mr Eli Sand

i followed it and solved my issue with. Pretty easy once you know how to do it :o)

Pendrive files and folders changed to shortcut

A few of my collegue experiencing this before with their pendrive where all the files and fodlers in the pendrive became a list of shortcut that leads to nowherere. This a virus that actually hide all the files and folders and create a shortcut instead. I'm not too sure what its called but it has resulted in a few people having to re-type their assignments and term papers.

Some shop (that my friend send the pendrive to have it checked) resorted to a rather nasty way to remove it via formating thus resulted in the lost of all the files in the pendrive. Upon a quick search in the internet, we can easily recover the files and eliminating the shortcut files from the pendrive.

One such link is this page, fix-external-flash-drive-files-changed-to-shortcuts-virus, a very nice and step by step way to recover the file.

basically you need to go to Command Prompt (the black screen) via START - RUN - type "cmd"

and on the screen just type the following and refering it to your pendrive drive, in my example the pendrive is drive J:

the command will be as follows:
attrib -h -r -s /s /d j:*.*
press ENTER

give it a few seconds to execute and then walla... you'll see all your files in the pendrive again.

pretty sweet and sure beats reformating the pendrive

VB2010 - check for Null value in fields

This is a little Programming related.

Since i'm learning and refreshing my mind regarding to programming in VB2010, so this is a little something that i learned a few days back during my brainstorming session with my little applications that i'm creating.

Just thought i share a little bit of what i found.

You can use the "IIF" statement to do comparison checking to check if the fields value ISNULL or not.

1. IF the Value is null THEN

2. return BLANK value

3. else
4.           fill with Value

 In my application this is how i do it.

this also i'll update in my Apps.Tips page

a very basic beginners tips... :o)

Windows 7 :The trust relationship between this workstation and primary domain failed

Just thought i add & share something that i found at work the other day.

It seems that Windows 7 have an issue with adding user to the Domain.
It will prompt an error like below:

The trust relationship between this workstation and primary domain failed...

when this happened you'll not be able to add the user from Domain to PC.

Actually there a hot fix for it issued by Microsoft..

You can read all about it here and then Request the fix, the link and password for the download will be emailed to you in a few second.

here is the link to the Hotfix readme Click ME!!
I also already added the link to my APPs TIPs pages for easy reference later.

1. Install the hotfix (it just a small download),
2. restart
3. add the user as usual from the domain

Hope this helps someone out there.


Enjoy
