it is important to arrange your files and folders orderly
if you have a very large hard drive size, tons of files, you often have trouble finding specific files or folders then you need to ask yourself are the files and folders on your computer well organized?
how important is this? actually this is not too important 
it’s more about work efficiency and security. for example, if you set your download folder to specific folder such as folder named “download” in My Document then that folder usually messed up inside. all your downloaded file including exe, zip / rar, document, images or even saved page from your favorite website will be there in one folder. take a look this picture below, it show unorganized download folder sort by file name in thumbnails mode view.
4 Simple Step to Protect your Computer from Virus
virus is a common thing for computer users. almost everyone had problems with computer viruses. in fact we can minimize the possibility infected by virus with a few simple steps that only need to change our habits when using computer.
1. Always use limited user account
we usually use administrator account when doing our job with computer, in fact the purpose of administrator account is used to install program and modify operating system. would be better if we use limited user account for work, and administrators for administrative purposes. some worms and malicious programs usually modify registry or start up, if we use limited user accounts this can be prevented.
Antivirus Database Update from Network with ESET NOD32
Almost every day, viruses, worms and malware increases, we need antivirus software that always up to date, because of that antivirus database updates really essential. if we use single computer with internet connection it wouldn’t be a problem because we can set automatic update accordance to our wishes. but what if we have computer network with 10, 20, 30 even 100 computer? should every computer on the network update automatically every day? it would be wasting time and bandwidth. if there is new computer on the network that hasn’t been updating antivirus databases before? should we update from the beginning?
Here are the solution for this problem. I use ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 software. tutorial below describes settings between two computers.
Create Automatic Backup with WinRAR and Windows XP Scheduled Tasks
This tutorial come from my experience when developing a website. I’m dealing with a lot of files (mostly php and html), must report work every week, all must be completed within one month. when I was doing the job, my hard drive suddenly not working, I can only use a backup from my previous week’s report . This is really annoying because I have to redo some work that was nearly finished.
Since then I did a manual backup using WinRAR, the old-fashioned way, add files to the archive, copy the archive then paste it to my removable drive. then I found a way to do this automatically by combine WinRAR and windows xp scheduled tasks.
XAMPP problem waiting for localhost because cFosSpeed
a few days ago when I was working with XAMPP, I found an oddity in my browser, something like this
it says waiting for localhost, continues loading and not bring up the desired page. then I tried a few things
- restart XAMPP
- I tried to change apache port.
- I uninstall XAMPP, remove all its service, cleaning up the registry.
- I disable firewall and antivirus.
- I try using other browsers
the result is still the same, no changes, then I disable some programs ( maybe a program that runs conflict with apache) then …. it turns out that this problem related to cFosSpeed . cFosSpeed detect this connection as normal HTTP connection, because I using a mobile connection, cfos think I did a regular connection to dynamic IP given by my ISP. after searching, I get a solution from Apache Friends Support Forum, simply just do this
Add this to the bottom of the xamppapacheconfhttpd.conf file:
Win32DisableAcceptEx
walaa .. it works as usual, so its true cFos not perfect detecting local connection. you can try to enter IP Address given by your ISP in your browser address and this will do the same as you type localhost. I’m still trying to find the perfect solution for this problem because sometimes apache still stuck.
