How to hack your Windows Vista-7-XP password
Posted by admin | Filed under Software Fixes
This case was given to me by a friend, whose sister had a virus. The virus reset the password on her Windows 7 account. I wanted to remove the virus, but before I could do that, I had to bypass her password somehow. I knew of a way to do this in XP, but that wasn’t possible in Vista/7. So, I tried a few things and this is the one that worked.

If you’re running XP and skipped the Vista update and need a good way to transfer files and settings, today we take a look at using Windows Easy Transfer and an external USB drive to easily complete the task. Tutorial here

Run WET to save the data to the external usb drive.
Run the Win 7 install disk, delete and create a new partition in advanced drive options
Install drivers, updates, additional applications(try Ninite)
create user name that is same as Winxp machine
WET comes with Win 7 , Run WET and import the data from the external usb drive.

Live Essentials is where to find these.

Enabling Auto-Logon and the Administrator Account in Vista and 7
Posted by kglee | Filed under Software Fixes
Have you ever wanted to create an automatic logon for your Windows PC but couldn’t find the option to do so? Or, on the disruptive side, have you ever found yourself without administrative access? We have… far too many times, and have decided to produce an article that offers up a slew of different ways to take care of both tasks.
Introduction; Enabling a Windows Vista / 7 Automatic Logon
While both Windows Vista and 7 have obvious advantages over Windows XP, especially with regards to their ease-of-use, there are occasions that can arise where you may have to smack your head and wonder what went through Microsoft’s collective minds during development. In an article I wrote earlier this year entitled, “10 Things Linux Does Better than Windows”, I summed up most of my personal gripes against the OS.
Of all the items mentioned there, the one that has personally affected me in the worst way ever since Vista’s launch is the process of automatically logging into a user at boot. During the XP days, I never encountered problems with having this work, thanks in part to the useful TweakUI utility, but with both Vista and 7, the process can at times be a bit more complicated.
It’s not so much the fact that it’s harder to create an auto-logon for either Vista or 7, but the chance of experiencing a brutal side-effect seems to be far greater. Over the past couple of years, I’ve been bit by random issues related to auto-logons more than once, and on more than one PC. This includes an incident that occurred just this past weekend. Do I have bad luck? I’m not sure, but one thing I do know is that I’m not alone. If you search Google for anything related to the Administrator account or auto-logons, there will be no shortage of content.
Add custom jumplists to any of your programs on Windows 7!
Posted by kglee | Filed under Software Fixes
With Jumplist Extender, you can:
Add your own Program Tasks
You can add any action you want on your jumplist, provided it has a keyboard shortcut to your program. Make easy-to-access jumplist items for your everyday tasks! (Works with command line switches, too!)
Pin Any Type of File
Add ANY file and ANY folder to your jumplist — and even rename them on the list! Windows only allows you to add files assigned to (or “openable by”) the program — Extender bypasses that limitation.
Create Extensions to your Programs
Use AutoHotKey scripting to extend and add functionality to your programs, easily accessible from your own jumplist! Add a “Save to Desktop Notes” function to Notepad, or add “Snip and upload to ImageShack” to Snipping Tool!
Share your Jumplists with Others
Export and import your jumplists into “Jumplist Packs”! Upload your Jumplist Pack to the web, and enable others to download and enjoy your work!
Download
JumplistExtender_v0.1-C.exe (1.19MB)
Make your Winxp look like Windows Seven for a while
