2) After installing the software insert your USB pendrive and click on Next.
3) The software creates a random key and store it in your Pendrive and also in windows registry also.
4) That's it. Hereafter if you lock your computer and to restart you
have to insert the USB, otherwise your system will not be opened.
5)Whenever you restart the computer it will ask you to insert the USB which you setup at the time of installing USB System lock.
6)While you run your computer in safe mode it will not work. It bypass
the task manager also. So nobody can enter without the USB which is
configured at the time of Installation.
As
you may have noticed, your Facebook News Feed recently began
auto-playing videos. This can be annoying on a PC and downright harmful
on your mobile device, as it can eat up your data or drain your device’s
battery. However, you can disable the auto-play feature on PC and
Android devices and save yourself the hassle.
To disable auto-play videos on your mobile device, you’ll need to
access the Facebook application ‘Settings.’ (The image below shows the
settings on a Samsung Galaxy S4.) From here, check the box under
“General Settings” for “Auto-play videos on Wi-Fi only.” The box is
unchecked by default, which means videos will continue auto-playing on
your Android device until you tell it not to. Unfortunately, you can’t
completely turn off the feature on a mobile device, but you can save
yourself some precious data.
Facebook’s Help Center topic addressing the issue explains how to make the edit on an iPhone or iPad.
To turn off auto-play on your personal computer, go to “Settings,”
then the “Video” tab at the bottom of the left hand navigation. From
there, you can select the drop-down menu next to “Auto-Play Videos” and
select “Off.” It’s important to note that you need to change the
settings on both your phone and PC if you want to disable it, and that
the changes don’t translate from one platform to another.
What do you think about the Auto-play feature? Facebook is encouraging users to provide feedback here.
A marketing campaign for the upcoming Ubisoft video game “Watch Dogs” aims to show users just how much of their personal info they put out on Facebook.
The campaign, called “Digital Shadow,” works by obtaining a user’s
permission to access their Facebook account. It then pulls information
from their profile to create a “dossier” of the user as if they were the
intended target of one of the assassins in the video game.
Digital Shadow shows users what photos they’ve tagged publicly, what
friends they interact with the most, and which ones they’ve been
Facebook stalking. And it goes even further: the program also shows
users what times of day they are most active, their potential salary
based on education and job title, and even possible passwords the user
could have.
We don’t typically install Facebook applications like this, but the
lure was too much for us to resist. And we wanted to check it out before
passing the information along. Out of necessity, the app does ask for a
good bit of personal information. One good thing is that they don’t
require you to let the app post as you, so you won’t be spamming your
friends unless you choose to do so.
All in all, it’s a pretty splashy marketing ploy, but it has
potential uses beyond just selling you a video game. It’s also a fun,
albeit creepy, way to find out just how vulnerable your Facebook profile
is to prying eyes. If you run the test on yourself and aren’t pleased
with the results, consider tightening your privacy settings or changing
the information that may be available to public users.
We chose to uninstall the app after our Digital Shadow was rendered.
Facebook chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg recently defended Facebook’s privacy practices in an interview with the BBC,
saying that Facebook is extremely protective of user information. Her
response came when concerns were raised about Facebook’s targeted
advertising.
“Privacy is of the utmost concern and importance to Facebook, and
it’s important to us that the people who use our service know that we
are very protective of them,” she told the BBC. “It is their data, they
have control of it, they share it. When we are able to personalize ads,
we are doing that without sharing their private data with any
advertisers.”
Sandberg also said that the very concept of being online is “old
fashioned,” and that the increase in mobile technology will mean that
people are connected all the time. Facebook is obviously looking ahead
to that time with its recent interest in drone technology, wearable tech
and virtual reality. However, her comments defending Facebook’s privacy
policies likely stem from a long-running campaign to sway public favor
back to the site after confidence in it was shaken following the
high-profile NSA spy scandal last year. A survey last fall showing that many Americans trust Facebook less than the NSA itself shows that the site still has a lot of work to do.
Recent
studies show that privacy concerns are very much on the minds of
Facebook users. Part of being a responsible member of any online
community is educating yourself and your loved ones on how to properly
configure the privacy and security settings offered by the platform. The
fact that Facebook has a billion members, and some are out to hack,
scam and victimize others makes the issue even more pressing.
Our goal was to create a guide that Facebook users could reference to
help them set up their privacy and security controls quickly, easily
and appropriate for their comfort level of sharing.
This walk-through will show you how to configure your Facebook Account and Privacy Settings:
We will start out with the Account Settings. Click
the gear icon shown above, or if you are logged into Facebook, you can

Windows 8 isfull of awesome featuresandhandy shortcuts, but what you may not know is that it's got a lot of handy, lesser-known settings under the hood. Here are 10 of Windows 8's best kept secrets.P
10. Run Automatic Maintenance on a ScheduleP
Windows 8 has a new feature that runs automatic maintenance tasks like software updates, security scanning, and other diagnostic tests daily. By default, it runs them at 3AM, of if you're using your computer, the next time your computer becomes idle. You can change this time in the Action Center, as well as tell Windows whether you want to wake your computer up to perform these tasks. You can also perform the maintenance manually from the Action Center, if you desire.P
9. Customize the Apps in the Search BarP
SEXPAND
When you start searching from the Start screen, you'll see a list of apps under the search bar. Click on one of them, and you'll search those same terms in that specific app. What you may not know is that you can tweak this list, removing and adding apps through Windows 8's settings. Bring up the Charms bar (with Win+C), click Settings, and go down to "Change PC Settings." From there, choose Search from the left sidebar, and turn off the apps you don't want taking up space in this menu.P
8. Enable the Hidden "Aero Lite" ThemeP
SEXPAND
When Windows 8 was in the testing phases, it had an additional "Aero Lite" theme that took away some of the transparent glass features of Windows Aero. However, the final version of Windows 8 opted for a much more basic theme than the testing builds, so Aero Lite no longer shows up—however, you can still find it in the Themes folder on your computer.With a few small tweaks, you can re-enable it in your Personalization preferences. It isn'ttoodifferent from the default themes, but it does give a slightly different look to the title button bars and some other small parts of the OS.P
7. Enable the Secret Start Screen AnimationP
SEXPAND
When you first sign onto Windows 8, you get a very cool flow-y animation of all your tiles filling up the screen. After that, though, the Start screen has a much more toned-down animation. If you want to enable the cooler animation for every launch of the Start screen,you can do so with a simple Registry tweak. You can also customize certain settings for the animation too, which is pretty cool.P
6. Customize More Icons in Windows ExplorerP
Remember in Windows 7, when you created a library, it had that ugly, nondescript icon? And you had to go through somecomplicated processto change it? Well, Windows 8 now lets you customize your Library icons right from its settings. Just right-click on the Library, go to Properties, and you should see the option to change the library's icon right at the bottom. Bonus tip: If Windows Explorer's Favorites icon is getting in your way in the sidebar, you can right-click on the sidebar to hide it (sadly, you can't do the same for Libraries, Homegroup, or other annoying icons).P
5. Create and Name App Groups on the Start ScreenP
SEXPAND
When you first open up the Start screen, you'll notice that some of your apps are in their own "groups." You can create your own groups just by dragging an app's tile to an empty space on the Start screen—it'll create its own group. If you want to name your groups—say, for "Work," "Games," and so on—you can do so by clicking the small button in the bottom-right corner of the screen and right-clicking on the groups.P
4. Take Faster ScreenshotsP
SEXPAND
For a long time, Windows had an absurd screenshot shortcut in which you had to press Print Screen, then open up an app like Paint or the GIMP and paste in your screenshot from the clipboard. Well, no more! Now, if you press Win+Print Screen (or Win+Volume Down on a tablet), Windows will take a screenshot of your screen and automatically save it in your Pictures folder as a PNG file. It still isn't as powerful assomething like Skitch, but if you only need the occasional screenshot, it's nice to see a simpler shortcut built in to the OS.P
3. Tweak the Number of Rows on the Start ScreenP
SEXPAND
By default, the Start screen fills your monitor up with as many rows of tiles as it can fit, up to 6 rows. If you'd like to lower that number—maybe you have a particularly cool background, or your groups just aren't that big—you cantweak this number by editing the Registry. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to let you packmoretiles onto smaller monitors, but it's a cool little tweak if you want to give your Start screen a more minimal look.P
2. Hide Recent Files from Your Jump ListsP
SEXPAND
Jump Lists were a great addition in Windows 7 that helped boost your productivity, but their "Recent Items" feature were a possible privacy concern—say, if there were documents or files you didn't want others to know you had viewed. Windows 8 lets you customize Jump Lists more than Windows 7, giving you the option to hide recently opened items and recently opened programs. To access the preferences, just right-click on the Taskbar, go to Properties, and click the Jump Lists tab.P
1. Get More Out of Your Multiple MonitorsP
SEXPAND
If you have multiple monitors, you've probably noticed that Windows extends your taskbar across both screens. It does more than just that, though: you can press Win+PgUp to move your current app to your left monitor, and Win+PgDn to move it to the right monitor. In addition, if you go to the Desktop Background section of your Personalization settings, you can right-click on any individual wallpapers and choose which monitor you'd like it to show up on. Of course, if you like things the old way, you can also turn off the dual taskbar in Taskbar Properties.
If you're a newcomer to Windows 8, and having trouble getting a feature to work, then scanning the official Help files might prove useful. Open the Charms bar, click Search, and type Help: 'Help+Tips' is aWindows 8.1app with some useful, but basic information, while 'Help and Support' has more in-depth advice.
If you're an expert PC user, though - or the problems are more severe - then consulting the usual Control Panel applets may point you in the right direction. Action Centre may reveal problems Windows has noticed already; Device Manager and Event Viewer often highlight relevant low-level issues, and the Troubleshooting applet has a wide range of fixes on offer.
Windows Explorer in Windows 8 features a Quick Access toolbar immediately above the menu, providing easy access to options such as 'New Folder', 'Minimise', 'Undo' and more.
This is customisable, too - click the arrow to the right of the default buttons, in the Explorer window caption bar, and choose whatever options you need. And you can include add any other ribbon option on the Quick Access Toolbar by right-clicking it and selecting Add to Quick Access Toolbar.
If you'd like to change your lock, user tile or start screen images then go to the Start screen press Win + I, click 'Change PC settings' and choose the Personalize option. Browse the various tabs and you'll be able to choose alternative images or backgrounds in a click or two.
In theory you'll also be able to define apps that will display their status on the lock screen, although the app must specifically support this before it'll be accessible from your Personalize settings.
Windows 8.1extends Personalize with several useful options. In particular, it enables you to set your desktop wallpaper as the Start screen background, a great way to reduce the jarring effect when you're bounced from one to the other.
Windows 8 now uses Internet Explorer's SmartScreen system-wide, checking downloaded files to ensure they're safe. This is a very good thing - areport by NSS Labsrevealed that IE10 blocks more malware than any other browser - but if you have any problems then it can be tweaked.
Launch Control Panel, open the Action Centre applet, and click Change Windows SmartScreen Settings in the left-hand pane. Here you can keep the warning, but avoid the requirement for administrator approval, or turn SmartScreen off altogether. Make your choice and click OK to finish.
33. Set up Windows 8 File History
Windows 8 includes an excellent File History feature, which can regularly and automatically back up your libraries, desktop, contacts and favourites to a second drive (even a USB flash drive - just connect it, and choose 'Configure this drive for backup using File History' from the menu).
To set this up, go to Control Panel > System and Security > File History. Click Exclude Folders to help define what you're saving, Advanced Settings to choose the backup frequency, Change Drive to choose the backup destination, and Turn On to enable the feature with your settings.
And once it's been running for a while, you can check on the history for any file in Explorer by selecting it, choosing the Home tab and clicking History.
TheWindows 8.1Search tool is no longer just about scanning your own system. It's now integrated with Bing, delivering internet results and (sometimes) even Wikipedia-style summaries of whatever you're searching for.
To give this a try, launch the Charms bar, click Search, type 'Marilyn Monroe' and press Enter. As well as seeing any matches in your own documents, pictures or videos, you'll get a picture, brief bio (birth date, husbands, siblings, date and place of death), and links to films, videos, albums and more.
That's just the start, though. Swipe left (or spin the mouse wheel) and you'll find more pictures and summaries for all the top 'Marilyn' search engine hits: IMDB, Wikipedia,MarilynMonroe.comandBiography.com, as well as further links for images, videos, related searches and more. Click any of these to open a browser window at that site.
This extra search power can be very useful, but if you'd prefer to keep desktop searches to your own system then it's easily disabled. Launch the Charms bar, click Settings > Change PC Settings > Search, and set 'Use Bing to search online' to 'Off'.
