How to check whether your PC is infected with virus?
In order to determine whether your system is infected with any kind of virus or not...follow these steps
Step 1- go to start-run-command
( type only the letters & dots in Bold)
Step 2- type cd.. (notice the two dots) and press enter
Step 3- type cd.. (again) and press enter
Step 4- type (cd windows) and press enter
Step 5- type (cd system32) and press enter
Step 6- type (setup) and enter
If you get that message,
then you have to switch to the control panel to install components and systems composition
Then that means your pc is clean.
The idea here is to see whether the (setup)file which is located within (system32)is shut down or open. When your PC is infected the setup file will be shut down, and open when your PC is not infected, as most viruses will shut down all system.exe extensions.

Taskbar keyboard tricks in win 7
Opening up another copy of an application that is already open with the new taskbar can be tricky. Normally when you click on a taskbar item it just switches to the open windows. The trick to opening a new copy of the application that is already open is to hold down Shift while you click on the icon.
To launch an application as Administrator hold down CTRL and Shift when you click on the icon.
Another useful keyboard trick will help you launch taskbar items without clicking. Instead of clicking on the first taskbar item just hold down the Windows key press number 1. For the second taskbar icon, Windows key + 2 and so on.
To switch through open taskbar items and view the thumbnails use the Windows key + T

Is it possible to use Xp mode in Windows 7?
Sometimes all of the compatibility settings in Windows 7 are not enough to make legacy applications run. XP Mode is a free download component for Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate and Enterprise customers that allows you to run legacy apps inside a Windows XP virtual machine running in the background. The end user does not have load and work inside the virtual machines as required in the past. With XP mode they start the application from a shortcut in the Start Menu. It appears like any other window on your desktop and taskbar. The only way you can tell it is running in the XP Virtual Machine in the background is by the XP visual style that surrounds the window.
The only hardware requirement for using XP mode is a computer with a processor that supports hardware-assisted virtualization such as AMD-V, Intel-VT or VIA VT. Microsoft has a helpful tool that will detect if your hardware is compatible called the HAV Detection Tool. On some computers the feature may be turned off in the BIOS, click here for instructions on how to turn it on.
Getting XP mode up and running requires four main steps:
1. Download and install the XP Mode Components.
2. Download and install Windows Virtual PC.
3. Setup the XP Virtual Machine.
4. Configure your apps in the XP Virtual Machine.
First, visit the XP Mode Web page, select the edition and language of Windows 7 you have and click the Windows XP Mode button to download that component. After the 470 MB XP Mode component is downloaded, install.
Then, return to the XP Mode Web page and click the Windows Virtual PC button and download & install that component. After installing the Virtual PC component you will need to reboot.
After the reboot, click on the Start Menu and navigate through All Programs, Windows Virtual PC and select Windows XP Mode to begin configuring XP Mode.
Click I accept the license terms and click Next.
Next, you will need to specify the password for the local account XPMuser that runs in the XP virtual machine. Type in a password in both boxes and click Next.
XP Mode runs a fully functional Windows XP virtual machine in the background so it must be patched every month as new security updates are released to keep applications running in the VM protected. The best way to accomplish this is by turning on Automatic Updates. Check Help protect my computer by turning on Automatic Updates now and click Next.
Click Start Setup on the following screen.
Setup will now run and configure the Windows XP virtual machine. This will take a few minutes.
When setup is completed the Windows XP virtual machine will be displayed.
At this point install any applications in the XP Virtual Machine like you normally install applications. For a test I installed Office 95.
After setup was completed you should see the programs icons in the Windows 7 Start Menu under All Programs, Windows Virtual PC and finally Windows XP Mode applications.
Just click on one of the shortcuts and the application will load in just like a locally installed app.
If you ever want to service or install more application in the XP Virtual Machine just click on the Start Menu and navigate through All Programs, Windows Virtual PC and select Windows XP Mode. That will start the XP virtual machine in desktop mode.

How to install Win 7 through Usb-Part 2
2. Turn the USB Key into a Bootable Device
Insert the Windows 7 install DVD into your drive, and view the files that it contains. Copy all of the files here to a folder on your Desktop. We put the disc contents in a folder named “Windows 7”
Go back to your command prompt, running it as an Administrator. Using the “CD” command, find your way to the folder where you extracted the ISO files. Your command line path should look something like “C:\Users\USERNAMEHERE\Desktop\Windows 7\”.
Type the following commands:
CD Boot (This gets you into the “boot” directory)
Bootsect.exe /nt60 L: (where ‘L’ is the drive letter assigned to your USB key from the previous step)
Bootsect infuses boot manager compatible code into your USB key to make it a bootable device.
IMPORTANT: If you’re currently running 32-bit Windows Vista or 7, Bootsect will only work if you use the files from the 32-bit Windows 7 install disc. The Bootsect executable from the 64-bit version will not run in 32-bit Vista.
3. Load the USB Key Up with the Install Files
Copy all of the extracted ISO files into the USB drive. You don’t need to do this from the command prompt. Just drag and drop the files from the “Windows 7” folder into the drive using Windows Explorer.
Your USB key is now all ready to go! Plug it into your target system and make sure you enter the BIOS (typically with F2 or F12) to temporarily change the boot order to allow booting from the USB key before your primary hard drive or optical drive. On the next restart, your system should automatically begin speedily loading setup files off of the USB key and entering Windows 7 installation.

Fortunately, you’re not out of luck, because Windows 7 (and Vista, for that matter) can be installed from a USB storage key. Not only does installing from a USB key remove the need for a DVD drive, the install time is also greatly reduced – we shaved off minutes from the total install time. Our step-by-step guide will have you rocking the new version of Windows in no time!
Time = 1 hour
What you need:
* 4GB USB key
* WinRAR
* Windows 7
Note: This guide will only work within Windows Vista or 7.
1. Format Your USB Key
Plug in your USB key and back up any existing data stored on it. You’ll need to format the key before you can make it a bootable device.
Open up a Command Prompt as an Administrator. You can do this by finding the cmd.exe in yoru Windows/System32 folder, right-clicking the executable, and selecting “Run as Administrator”. Alternatively, type CMD in the Start Menu search field and activate the Command Prompt using Ctrl + Shift + Enter.
You should be under c:\Windows\system32 (assuming your Windows partition is the C drive). Type “diskpart” in the command line to enter the Disk Partition command line tool, which lets you format and create partitions on active disks.
Type “list disk” to reveal a list of all your active disks, each of which is associated with a number. Make a note of which one is your USB key, based on the capacity. In our screenshot below, our USB drive is Disk 6 (8GB).
Next, type the following commands, one at a time:
Select Disk # (Where # is the number of your USB disk. We typed “Select Disk 6”)
Clean (removes any existing partitions from the USB disk, including any hidden sectors)
Create Partition Primary (Creates a new primary partition with default parameters)
Select Partition 1 (Focus on the newly created partition)
Active (Sets the in-focus partition to active, informing the disk firmware that this is a valid system partition)
Format FS=NTFS (Formats the partition with the NTFS file system. This may take several minutes to complete, depending on the size of your USB key.)
Assign (Gives the USB drive a Windows volume and next available drive letter, which you should write down. In our case, drive “L” was assigned.)
Exit (Quits the DiskPart tool)

Apple Planning Product Launch Soon
Today Financial Times reported that Apple is possibly going to launch a product for a stage has been rented at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (YBCA) in San Francisco for several days. A major announcement is expected to take place on Jan 26 and both Apple as well as YBCA declined to comment. Lately, we heard several speculations regarding Apple Tablet's arrival in 2010.
Apple does have a good reputation for passively creating pre-launch hype. Honestly, Apple isn't involved in it but close watchers are. The much rumored Apple Tablet is heavily anticipated at the January 26, 2010 launch for which Apple has booked YBCA stage. Apple never confirmed whether a large touchscreen display bearing Mac Tablet exists but rumors continued to rife on the web.
In September, same YBCA stage was the place on which Steve Jobs, CEO Apple made public appearance after his medical leave. Also, the iPhone and iPod Touch lineup has been refreshed recently along with the MacBook Pro and iMacs. So, this announcement is likely to be something major.
Though lot of people know that Apple has scrapped products just before announcements, one must understand that Apple won't do that now. Recently, Apple acquired the 'Tablet Mac' trademark from Axiotron and most likely was to avoid any confusions with official Apple products. We'll have to wait and see what Apple has hidden in its coat for the next announcement.
