Many times it happens that we download all the pieces in multiple rar files and one of the part is damaged or missing.There is no way to extract all remaining parts without that missing portion. But if it is any media file inside then you can try the trick given below.
First extract part1.rar. Suppose it is from part1.rar to part9.rar and part6.rar is missing then copy part1.rar and rename it to part6.rar. Now extract the rar files. Your file will be extracted and now you can play the file, it will play part1 again in place of part6 while playing. But if you want to see the remaining portion you have to do this.

Many times in college when I download some files they are in rar format and we don’t have any rar extractor in college and as we have limited account in college we are not allowed to install any new software. So I was looking for something that can extract files online or just convert the rar file in to zip format. Finally I came across this cool site named WobZIP. WobZIP is a cool online rar extractor/converter. It is based on an open source extractor 7-zip so it supports all the extensions which are supported by 7-zip.
It has one more cool feature . Suppose the file you want to download is too big and you need only a single file from that archive than you can also download that single file only. No need to download the whole big rar file. Even password protected files can be extracted using WobZIP. So enjoy this cool service.

If you want to block others from running any program on your computer but don’t want to uninstall it then AppLocker can help you to do so.
It provides easy to use interface to the user for locking apps. Basically it is designed to work on servers so that clients can be stopped from accessing particular software. One can also use the configure option to add other software in the list.
The only problem is there is no password protection provided for this application so that any body can access it and unblock all other apps. But still it is good for servers and can be very useful.

Recently when I tried to copy some files to my mmc using card reader it showed me some error saying the disk is write-protected. Remove the write protection or use another disk.
It was working fine before. I have used this card many times before but it never gave any error and suddenly it started showing this error. After going through some forums I came to know that it happens because of write protection notch but there was no such notch or switch on my card.I kept on searching on more forums and after some time I found one solution to this problem. Follow the steps given below if you are also facing the same problem.
Run Registry Editor (regedit).
Navigate to the following registry key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
Right click on control and create new key.
Name it as StorageDevicePolicies . (Copy and paste it from here if possible)
Now click on StorageDevicePolicies and in right side pan right click and select create new dword and name it as WriteProtect.
Double click on it and set its value to 0.
Now restart your machine and try copying some files to your card.
If this thing also doesn’t work then keep your card in card reader, connect it to your PC and then restart your system. I don’t know the logic behind this but It worked for me.

If you have multiple pen drives you might have noticed that every time you put in your drive it will be assigned a different drive letter.
This can be frustrating when trying to run backups or opening files from software as recent drive letter is changed. Even if you have created playlist of the songs which are in your pen drive it won’t work if the drive letter is changed.
Here are the steps you will have to follow to assign a permanent drive letter:-
1. Go to Start > Run
2. Type mmc in the box and hit enter.
3. Select File > New
4. Now select File > Add/Remove Snap-in.
5. Select “Disk Management” and click “Add”
6. Select “OK“.
7. Select “This computer” and then “Finish”
8. Now press “OK” on the “Add or Remove snap-ins” screen.
9. Now select “Disk Management” from the left menu.
10.You will now see all of your drives/partitions in the right hand side panel.
11.Right click the USB drive you want to assign a permanent letter to and select “Change Drive Letter and Paths…”
12. Click on “Change”
13. Select a permanent letter
14. Click “OK”
15. It will warn you about making the change - there is little chance programs you use will be affected by this. If they will, you will probably already be aware of this so don’t worry.
16. The final step is to select File > Save and save the file in the default directory. Close the Console and you are done.
Now eject your usb drive and put it back in and see whether it is showing the assigned letter or not.

Many time while working on PC the system suddenly freezes due to some non responsive programs and at times the task manager itself becomes non responsive. To overcome this problem windows has an auto task killer,which will automatically terminate the non responsive program after specified time.
To make this work according to our need we will have to modify the registry.
First go to Start –> Run –> regedit.
Then navigate to the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
In the right side pane, find the key “WaitToKillAppTimeout”, double click it and set the time to wait for not responding applications to come back to normal. The time is in milliseconds. If you want to end the task immediately, give the value as 0.

This problem can occur if the program you installed creates a registry key name that is longer than 60 characters in length. Add/Remove Programs only lists program names it locates up to the point it encounters this situation.Follow the steps given to solve the problem.
Go to C:\Windows\Inf folder. In the right pane, scroll down to sysoc.inf. Open it with notepad. It will look like…
The word “HIDE” in an entry hides that application from your Add/Remove Programs dialog box. To add ms messenger to the Add/Remove menu, delete the word HIDE from its entry. Don’t delete the “,”(comma) after it.
Save the file and restart your machine and now you can see that app listed in the add/remove programs list.
