Add a new String Value and name it anything you like 4. For the value data, enter the path and executable for the program you want to run. By adding the value to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive instead allows the program to start only when that user is logged on. If you add the value to the RunOnce key the program will run once and be removed from the key by Windows. Source: http://hack2007.50webs.com/Updates/CHAN ... CTIONS.htm |

CHANGE/ADD RESTRICTIONS
Facebook tightens user control
Facebook tightens user control
Facebook has unveiled tools to give users more control over personal information and let them set up cliques of friends, as the world's No.1 social network tries to protect its lead from a growing challenge by Google Inc.
The new "Groups" feature makes it easier for its half-billion users to interact with select circles of friends, instead of having photos and personal messages openly viewable to family, college buddies and colleagues alike.
Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg said the change -- which analysts say is intended partly to mirror the various circles that people navigate in actual life -- should make people even more comfortable publishing personal information on the service.
"If we can do this, then we can unlock a huge amount of sharing that people want to do, but today they just can't do, because either it's too annoying, or there just aren't the right privacy settings to be able to do this at large scale," Zuckerberg told reporters at his Palo Alto, California headquarters.
Facebook, which has come under fire for inadequate privacy controls, will provide users with a special file containing all the personal data they have uploaded to the service -- upon request -- as well as a way to monitor which third-party applications have access to their data.
Its new groups feature comes a few months after a Google staffer published a white-paper identifying the inability of social networks such as Facebook to distinguish between the multiple social groups that an individual belongs to in real life.
"It's a bit of a preemptive strike against Google," said Ray Valdes, an analyst at industry research firm Gartner.
"It's addressing a real problem that had been a shortcoming in the Facebook service," said Valdes. "But it also has the effect of covering (Facebook's) flank."
THE RIGHT TOUCH
Google itself, which controls two-thirds of the world's Internet search market, has struggled to find the right touch when it comes to social networking. But the company has acquired several companies with social networking technology, including Slide.
Last month, Google CEO Eric Schmidt said the company would begin introducing "layers" of social networking features into Google products this Fall.
With groups, Facebook users will be able to pool their friends in different groups or circles and send messages to, or hold mass-chats online with, those groups.
That expands a feature already available on the website, which lets users create custom friend lists. But Zuckerberg said a mere 5 percent of Facebook's users have availed themselves of that tool.
In contrast, Zuckerberg said he expected up to 80 percent of Facebook's users to eventually belong to customized groups on the site.

Changing ANY user password without knowng password
Changing ANY user password without knowng password
It enables the user to re-password any account without having to know the existing password and also shows you every account that exists on the machine (even the ones that are hidden). This is a good tool to use if you forgot a password to say your administrator account and you needed to be logged into the admin account for any reason.
To view all of the user accounts:
1) While logged onto the computer, click on Start>Run>and type in CMD.
2) From the command prompt window, type in net users. This will show you every account that is made onto the computer whether it is hidden or not.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
To change an account password:
1) While logged onto the computer to an account that has administrative rights, click on Start>Run>and type in CMD.
2) Type in net user then the name of the account then * and press enter. heres an example: net user administrator * or net user "Joe Smith" * . Put the name in quotes if it contains spaces.
3) From there it should ask for a new password. Type in your new password (type very carefully - the command window won't display what you type) and once more to confirm it. If you get the message that the command succeeded successfully you're all set!!

30 second Speech by Bryan Dyson (CEO of Coca Cola)
"Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air.
You name them - Work, Family, Health, Friends and Spirit and you're keeping all
of these in the Air.
You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will
bounce back.
But the other four Balls
- Family, Health, Friends and Spirit - are made of glass. If you drop one of
these; they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even
shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for
it." VALUE HAS A VALUE ONLY IF ITS VALUE IS VALUED".
