Express panel of Opera

Browser software for browsing the Internet is constantly evolving. One direction of this development - it is easy to use browser. Thus, they provide users with more options for quick access to favorite sites. Moreover, this trend is inherent in all browsers. Including the latest versions of Opera browser. Among the functional simplifies the memory addresses and access to different sites, there are a few of the most common. These include: bookmarks , browsing history , subscribe to RSS-feeds . And in the latest versions of almost all browsers have appeared so-called "express panel" through which you can now get on a preferred site or services, a single mouse click. Consider working with a panel in the program for viewing Internet Opera 10. Frankly, I do not remember with which version of the Opera appeared Express panel. When you open a new tab in Opera opens only a white sheet, look at the bottom of the button "Show Express panel and click on it. If you have it will not appear there, you may still need to update your version of the Opera browser to a more modern one. After you call the panel must change the interface window, which displays Web pages. The top should be a form of search engine and several rows of empty cells below. Search engine, I have the default "Yandex", but it can change and set the default search engine via "Tools" menu.

Express-panel can be configured in such a way that it has a different number of cells. I have found the most: 5x5 = 25 pieces. Each cell is configured for direct access to some sites that I regularly visit. This is the blog, my other sites, or individual directories in them, accounts in social networks (VKontakte, Classmates, Facebook), blogplatformy and Twitter , various services, Forums, etc. Your list may be quite different, depending on what you are interested in the Internet. Weather, for example.

To configure the Express bar to click on the button "Configure Express-panel". Configuration window opens (see screenshot below).





At the top of the opportunity to change the background image panel on his or disable its display. In the middle part, you can configure layout panels, namely the number of cells (from four to twenty-five.). If you do not need the express panel, then check the box next to the inscription "Express-panel". Changes take effect after clicking the "OK".

After setting the number of elements on the panel, proceed to the appointment of every cell of your site. Some cells may be already occupied sites, established by the opera itself. As a rule - is a link to the homepage of the portal itself and several advertising options from other companies. However, do not worry. To remove unwanted cells from the link, please click on the right mouse button. In the context menu click on "Clear." Then the cell becomes empty.

However, do not necessarily. You can simply replace the reference to his own. For example, if there is "http://www.opera.com/", and you want to put a link to "http://vladekas.com/blog/". Then, in the same menu, click "Edit ...", and then at the bottom of the window that appears in the address bar, replace the original link to the new. If the cell is empty, then just insert a reference to the desired site. Then click "OK". If you are connected to the Internet, the browser makes a request to set the page and put in a cell of a mini image. In such pictures in the cells and you'll navigate for fast access to sites.

Also, it does not matter if you're still not understand that such a link. The browser remembers which pages you visit most often, and offers them a list when editing a cell. Click the name of the desired page, click the left mouse button and it will add the address bar of the cell.



Frankly, this function of the browser, I began to use the now very active. It is convenient and eliminates the need for redundant clicks to find the right link to the bookmarks, browsing history, or even through a search engine. Incidentally, I often watched as the people every day, injected into the search engine the same search phrase to go on the same site. Although one could at least use the tabs for quick access. Not to mention the express panel, with the right references, which is an obligatory attribute of modern browsers.

You dismiss? And put into the computer for me?

Imagine often nowadays the situation that you are working in an office or even in the workplace you have a computer. It is of course connected to the Internet and you will naturally use during working hours all the benefits of World Wide Web. Such as: personal e-mail, social networks such as "VKontakte" and "Classmates", ICQ, and various forums and conferences and so on. In most of these services, you go automatically after the first authorization. Besides all this, you have stored personal information, such as: pictures, videos, books, files and much more. And then you quit or be fired - this is already released. In consequence, there is a question like: "... how to remove from my former company worker, my mailing address in your inbox. And then he (email address) comes automatically, but what I need someone to read my mail ... . This, incidentally, the real question to the article: "How do I delete a mailbox on Yandex" . Since the question seemed to me urgent, I detest more extensive disclosure of the theme in a separate post.  

Take away their files

Certainly the simplest thing - is to take their files. To do this we need the bulk USB-flash card , or a good relationship with the admin of your computer network and a DVD or CD discs (blank discs). Rewrite your files to the media and delete them from your computer. It does not copy confidential information of the company, and then anything can happen ... And do not forget to clean the shopping cart on your desktop - all deleted files you want to temporarily move back and can easily be recovered by your successors. Of course it does not insure you against that copy the contents of your computer is not stored on the server your computer network company.

Remove automatic authorization for services

I already wrote an article about cookies, how they work and why they are needed . That is exactly the case. Of course, conveniently once to enter your login and password to log in and then go in automatically. But there is a risk that after you quit or your computer is commonplace will give another person, he can go to your personal page or e-mail, if you use it via the website e-mail service ( Yandex Mail , @ Mail.Ru and so on ).

Therefore, as a minimum, you must enter the last time with this company for each service and always click on "Exit." Thus, in most cases, your machine will be deleted cookies files and undo the automatic authorization. Try it now, at the same Vkontakte, for example.

Remove the passwords to the sites in the browser

All modern browsers (the program for viewing Internet) have a feature that stores passwords in order for you to single click to insert data for authentication on the web. Accordingly, these passwords should also be removed.

In Opera , a red "O") is made this way: Tools -> Advanced -> Manage Passwords -> select the site and click "Delete"

In Internet Explorere (blue badge "e"): "Tools" -> "Internet Options" -> "General" tab -> in "Browsing History" click "Delete" -> click on "Passwords" -> "Remove". There can and clean cookies.

If the passwords you have written somewhere in a file or program, they also need to remove. In the future, but anyway, just in case, change passwords everywhere.

What to do with e-mail

If you do not use a mail program to receive mail on your computer, and only use site email service, you need to do the procedure described above.

If you are using corporate email accounts via e-mail program, you need to remove personal letters and empty the Recycle Bin in the program.

If you use the mailer The Bat or Outlook Express, to get letters from your personal mailbox, you must delete the account to your mailbox in the program.

To do this:

 if viewed mail program The Bat, then open the menu tab "box" and then "Delete Mailbox" -> select "permanently delete" and presses "Yes";
 if viewed mail program Outlook Express, then: Tools -> Accounts -> click on the name box -> Delete -> confirm by clicking on "Yes".

In other programs, the principle is similar.

Hopefully, the main points of action to be taken in this situation are clear. Naturally there are different nuances peculiar to you and your work.

How to make a screenshot - shot images on the monitor

During the communication on the forums, or just the network, you often can meet the requirement to lay out a screenshot, that any proof. Screenshot - a snapshot of the image on the monitor screen. What is displayed in the windows browser software or open a Web page. Or perhaps you need to shoot some sort of image to insert it into the document Microsoft Word. In this paper we consider the simple and accessible to all means do it. In this case, from the additional software we need only a simple photo editor. Yes, and it functions very well could replace the built-in Windows image editor Paint (run via Start-Programs-Accessories-Paint).

Takes a snapshot of the screen or window

In order to make a screenshot of a computer monitor, you need only to press a magic button on the keyboard labeled "Print Screen" or "PrtScn". Snapshot will be in the clipboard and you can embed in vordovskie documents by using the "Paste" from the context menu. Or, open the "Paint" (I use Paint.NET) and press the key combination "Ctrl + V". And then save the image in the correct file format (JPG or GIF), for which the press: "File-Save As ...- Select location and file format, click Save. You can make the processing of the Scrin, select the section image, crop it and save only the right, using the tools of the graphic editor "Isolation" and "circumcision".

If you need to remove the image of a particular window active program, the better to grab a screenshot press the key combination "Alt + Print Screen". So you can get rid of unnecessary work on cutting the desired location. This method may be useful in creating benefits for work with anything, using phased screenshots.

There is also a sufficient number of special programs for creating and processing images of the screen. I described the simplest version of a screenshot.

Placing images on the Internet

If you do a screenshot for the Internet, the more you need to place a picture on photo-hosting. These are special services for posting photos, scans documents, screenshots, and similar graphics. After loading such a service, you get flooded with a direct link to your picture like this: "http://img1.immage.de/170258a9aad12345.jpg". You will also receive options and codes to be placed on different types of sites. Their you will use and further, to specify your interlocutors ways to view screenshots or posting in various forums or websites. If you post links to forums, if you use tags to specify the path to the image, it will be displayed in your posts.

Service to host pictures a lot and then the choice is yours. Here are some of them: Immage.de, TinyPic.com, Radikal.ru. The last Russian-language and has an online image editor. So, you can use it for simple editing.

That's how to take screenshots and posted on the network, if briefly. In fact, everything is very simple and, I think you will not be a difficulty to quickly "get one's hand" in creating screenshots.

Inedible and biscuits ... About Cookies

You do often see on the services, when are authorized on the forum or social network, checkbox and the words "Remember me" next to it? At least for the first time you enter the login and password, put that check and "On a wonder!" Site the next day you know yourself and authorizes. Probably wondering how he does it. Pretty simple. It works "cookies", ie a cookie.

The term "Cookie" is derived from the English word «cookie» - biscuits. Cookies are a small text file whose name ends with the information that resides in your computer program site. If you are using a browser Internet Explorer, the cookie files, you can find in the folder: «C: \ Documents and Settings \ username \ Cookies». While walking there is not necessarily - the contents of their understandable only programs. In other browsers place may be different.

Works the same system as follows. Program site puts on your computer is a text file with data and the next time your browser sends it to the appropriate site, while trying to open it on a Web page. Program site compares it with available information and automatically authenticate to the service or supplements the information about you in its database. Also, cookies are used for authenticating users and keeping statistics and personal settings for a particular user.

Often, cookies pose not only to services where you are officially registered, but also various services counter, commercial systems that are installed on site and many others. Some services simply will not let you work with them as long as you will not be allowed cookies in your browser. If you are earning while browsing the Internet, the clients whom you send to the affiliate link, the script affiliate program remembers it with cookies.

Just make a reservation, that by themselves, these files do nothing. They only contain data that needed services for authentication and user authentication. However, if your cookie files will be stolen from your computer or intercepted during a session, connect the browser to the site, it is quite possible that an attacker could log into your account on the service.

Cookies can be placed, as on all the time, and for some limited time. It is even possible that only when connecting to the site, and possibly for years. And if you do not periodically clean cookies, they are present and accumulate in the system prior to its reinstallation. If you work for someone else's computer, it is best to log off authorization on service, click on the button "Exit" or "Close". In this case, cookies must be threadbare and the next time will have to log in manually.

By the way this was a joke, when at my computer, sometimes worked as a sister. As a result, when you come to the site "VKontakte", then either it appeared in my account I have it. No privacy, e-May:)) And had to be total-just press the button "Exit".

Consider, for what do to clean cookies and how to do it.

The need to clean all cookies or a single site may appear in the following cases:


  • Just to clear the PC from garbage. But then need to re-authorization at all sites where you came automatically.
  • To protect your accounts on the network from outside access. While this is quite enough to go not just closing your browser, and through the button "Exit".
  • If suddenly your favorite forum began to appear in unaccustomed form, for example in the tree. You must delete cookies and visit a particular site and log on the new.
  • If you get tired of that system of contextual advertising on various websites show your ad on one theme. For example, when you looked for a long sports sites, and then moved to movies, but you will still twist advertisements about football. That will show behavioral advertising, for example, Google officially announced at the beginning of last year.
  • You want to take a discount for buying on-line, but the seller has established deadline. This is the time for which you can purchase the product at a discount. For example, the site "Antichaynik" Konstantin Fest - this time is 15 minutes. If you have a desire to buy such a product at a discount, then simply delete cookies and restart the map a connection to the Internet. By the way I still lose their partnership: (. If you are, of course, will not pass there again on the link from my site.
Cleaning your PC from cookies look through the work with browsers: Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Opera.

Internet Explorer (remove cookies only one site here is not released).

  • In the top menu go to Tools -> Internet Options -> General
  • In the "Browsing History" click "Delete ..."
  • In the window that appears, tick the "Remove Cookie" and confirm the deletion.

So delete all cookies and you need to re-authorization for all services.

Mozilla Firefox (you can remove cookies and one and all)

  • Open the Tools -> Options -> Privacy
  • Click "delete individual cookies
  • Find the cookie for a site and click on it
  • Click the "Delete cookies"
  • If you want to completely clear your browser cookies, then click "Remove all cookies


Opera (cookies are removed only by the piece)

  • Go to Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Manage cookies
  • Choose a cookie by the name of the site that you want to delete, and click "Delete"

About cleaning cookies in time for me to receive an instructive story. I bought one of the electronic products and just remember that he went to the merchant site to the affiliate link from the mailing, which offered good bonuses from partner to buy. However, after the purchase I did not receive bonuses. And to the question from a partner, I registered, the seller said that I went directly. Do not believe in his words, I had no reason, then or now. And then I remembered that between the first visit and buy, I cleaned the cookies. So I remained without bonuses, and the person who sent me to sell a site without the partnership interest.

In general, cleaning cookies by users - is one of the major ills of working with affiliate programs to earn money on-line. But is some controversy in regard to the preservation of privacy and confidentiality of user data, which makes the controversy. Although full-fledged replacement for the simplicity and functionality cookies not yet invented.

Make a backup images ladies and gentlemen ...


Well, no, really. Probably the most valuable thing on your computer from an ordinary user - a personal digital photos and video. Themselves think about what percentage of photos taken with digital cameras you have printed and put in a photo album? I, for example, from more than ten thousand photographs taken over the past five years of his soap box, opened barely more than two hundred. Yes, and it took more than friends and relatives. Yes, and I did it only because I had some time was a printer Epson, who made quite acceptable for the home photo album pictures.

The rest of the dusty where? True, the hard disk - it is the screw, it is hard. And one day it may be that including a computer, you will see the inscription: "Reboot and select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key". With roughly means: "Reboot and select proper boot device (in BIOS), or insert boot disk in the drive and press (any)". In essence, the problem with the hard disk of your PC, or an inability to find the operating system to boot. And then abruptly ponder why not buy a few discs and recorded valuable data for you.

Why am I all this? Just the other day with a friend in a phone mode, tried to start the computer, which after loading the BIOS has issued such a message. In parallel, rummaging through the Internet and found many reports of this error. I myself am in this business pros are not, therefore, lay out, as it is, all that I found and in what direction to dig. Can anyone come in handy.

This message is in the worst case may mean that your hard disk was covered with a copper basin. And you, respectively, have lost all "acquired by hard labor." That is, photos, videos, your work, diploma, project, contacts and so on. Any difference between the kind of movies, programs, photo wallpapers and other things we do not take into account. It's easy to be restored, even with the improvement. But the pictures ...

At best, you have a problem: with connectors, ribbon cable, power supply, the lack of launching files in the system Windows. Maybe, some problems with the settings in the BIOS - the wrong priorities for download from the carriers. In general, all that is being or settings or replacement iron.

The first thing to check - does the computer hard disk in the BIOS. You can go in there, pressing the button "Delete", at boot time. In the first section, you will see what the media is inserted - disk drives, hard disk drives. If it is not there, it's worth your hard disk to a computer companion, and, if he has a hard drive is not detected, you will need to service. If there is a guarantee on the screw, then you may someday and it will change. In the same BIOS setup in the section "BOOT" to look at priorities boot OSes with the carriers. The first to go the hard drive, namely: in "Boot device Priority" must be established "First (1) Boot Device - hard draw (HDD)" - a different motherboard can be different

As a result, determined that flew propeller. Although hard drive and showed signs of life, but all interviewed experts available in one voice said that judging by the click when it starts in Winchester flew head. They say that may have been hit, but I think the blame "gray" iron. Naturally, the mother and on another computer, he also has not been defined. Fortunately, the majority of the material was still on the disk and in the camera (there is a benefit from the bulk of modern  flash drives).

In general, the main causes of frequent errors: "Reboot and select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key", - may be the following.
You got out of the sockets or damaged power cord from the power supply or cable from the motherboard to the disk. It is necessary to check it all. Personally, I have such a precedent.
The wrong order of boot devices in the BIOS (hard disk, floppy disk, floppy drive). Perhaps it could happen as a result of shutting down your computer with speakers in it (floppy, CD, stick). Select the first HDD. Also, the order of loading can be found by clicking during startup F2 key or TAB (where both) - just specify the computer where to be loaded. If all goes well, you need to change the priority of all.
If the BIOS hard drive visible and the boot order is correct, then most likely you have flown the operating system. It is treated reinstalling. I once had a case where somehow erased from friends in the computer launching Windows files. Perhaps some malware tried.
You still covered his hard drive. Contact the seller for warranty or service. The probability of restoring the hard drive is low, and the price issue can be considerably more expensive than a new hard drive. Better to buy a new better, but if the same back-guarantee, then install additional it into your computer or sell.

And the conclusion of this article is that still need to periodically make backups on external media ( "Backup" - backing up your valuable data). What I soon again and loans.

Swine influenza internet or lock Windows


In the Internet started up another infection. Not as terrible as swine flu, of course, but at least unpleasant. At this time, because of the virus in the system, there is the following scenario.


After starting the system, vynyrivayet window with the message that you are using unlicensed Windu, and must send SMSku for a specific number. What's it like he saw the owner just did a licensing system? The system no longer works.

The screen may display a window of this type (but not necessarily)



Why is such a long time I have encountered and described in one of the first articles of this blog. And about a relative of such malicious, wrote recently in the article about the removal of the informer, a news feed from your browser. But here problemma more serious than a banner on split-screen browser. Although you can catch her, just the same way, setting the video codec for viewing video on the sites.

Search the network gave several solutions the problem, and describe them.

Anywhere, no SMS not sent.
If you caught the Trojans Winlock.19, then you ... very lucky. In the literal sense. This malware is configured to self-destruct after two hours of work a computer. So the solution is simply the patience. Leave your computer on for several hours, and then restart. If the problem persists, try the following method.
Log in windose in safe mode. For this, during startup, press and hold down the F8 key on your keyboard, then select run in safe mode. On the C drive go at c: / documents and settings / all users / application data / and delete from there two files: blocker.exe and blocker.bin, or any file with the name of blocker. (Any extension). Also need to remove the registry reference to the file, such as HKLM \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon \ Userinit. After rebooting should work fine. Immediately do a search on the computer, searching for files blocker. (Any extension), and then remove. Just in case, take a deep test antivirus software. By the way, instead of the folder / all users / may need to go to the folder with your vindovsloginom, and then in / application data /.
Make attending disc Live CD (http://www.freedrweb.com/livecd/). Starts with him, and remove blocker.exe blocker.bin the folder: / documents and settings / all users / application data / and then on item 3.
You can also try to find the extra files called WINLOGON.EXE. Only the file has the right nasuschestvovanie in the system in the folder C: \ Windows \ System32. If you find it in another folder - removed immediately. Under this name can be masked by more than a hundred different viruses.

In general, I hope that you have a first or second case. In the future, do not install any video codec to view video on the sites - the virus is often there. To view the online video rather conventional flash player.

How do I remove ticker (news block pop-up) with screen



Frankly, the problem of the informer in the pop-up Internet eksplorere I encountered only once, and then, not on your computer. Perhaps the time has established a firewall Outpost Firewall, blocking access to the computer network of the dirtiest. 
In general, this article has arisen because of, frequent in recent visits to the blog to, in fact, a search query. If it is to summarize, it sounds like: "help remove the virus or remove the pop-up a syndication feed it the same informer ruxvideosdghdfghdfgh with the Internet I have the screen of the computer code without free sms / sms». Approximately so, in different variants, and already a hundred times. A small search on the Internet showed that the problem is urgent, therefore, describe the symptoms and give its decision.

Let us briefly describe the problem. Often, in themselves guess what, sites and on sites with free programs, music, movies and so on, established special programs to be implemented in a user's computer informer adult sites, or the news stream. Alternatively, it may establish a virus, downloaded, along with any file from the Internet. Perhaps it will be installed along with a special video codec to view video from the site. In general, as it gets to you in the computer a lot of options. And after the next reboot the computer and launch IE browser, the bottom of the screen appears with a banner advertising that can not be closed.








In informers also have a suggestion to send an SMS, so that it can be removed. Of course not a fact that it will disappear after entering the code, and not the fact that this code, you generally get. But the creators of this program are beaten on the psychology - hardly a young man or a member of the office wants the parents, or boss, saw it in his computer. And accordingly sent smski. Do not do it! Must be protected, while in the network - antivirus and firewall. Alternatively, you may receive the informer, in general, blocking the work of the browser, and requires subscription fee for using them - this is also a divorce.
 
The most common solution of the following.

Open Internet Explorer.
We go in the top menu - clicked "Tools" - we click "Internet Options" - we click the Programs tab - we click "Add-Ins" - choose "Add-ins, used by Internet Explorer».
Find all the elements containing the name of ending * lib.dll.
Click on these add-ins one by one, and at the bottom of the page click "Disable"
Exit Options, click "OK".
In order to take effect, you need to close Internet Explorer and start it again.

Theoretically, ticker should disappear. You may have to try to disable all add-ons, in turn, to identify desired.
 
Also in the "Options" you can get without running explorer. To do this, click Start, then Control Panel, and to open a folder, "Internet Options".
 
Also recommended in the Internet Options to delete cookies and Internet files (General Tab). And also set all the defaults by clicking Reset in the Advanced tab. 

If the problem is in the Opera browser, it is better to simply reinstall the browser, for this:

to remove (uninstall) the program;
remove the remnants of the C: \ Programm Files \ Opera;
reinstall.
 
Hopefully, this technique will help you remove a syndication feed, or informer, with the screen of your computer.
 
And finally I repeat: "Always use antivirus and firewall (firewall) while working in the network!".

How to safely use the Internet


I will start from experience.

Almost immediately after their companies to connect homes to the network and the first visits to the Internet, the strangeness began. First, when downloading the browser started open any sites (of course "interesting" content), then began braking.


But patience was exhausted when the night before normal finishing work on the second day when you turn around I was greeted by a message reading: "In your computer downloaded a virus and that you would not have done it will slow down your system. In order to get medication Bring $ 20 on a purse WebMoney WMZxxxxxxxx or E-Gold xxxxxxx. ». And indeed PC was working very slowly, including when running in Safe Mode.


The only solution, then for me was to reinstall the operating system by formatting drive C.


Unfortunately I did not even think to photograph the message. Because the number of purse you can go to arbitration Vebmani to WM-keeper blocked the attacker.


As you may have guessed I think, this article will focus on the fight against malware such as (but head and share it): e-mail worms, Internet worms, file viruses, Trojans, stealth viruses, polymorphic viruses, bodiless viruses, macro viruses, viruses amazing documents of MS Office, script viruses, spyware (Spyware), program-kidnappers passwords, dialer, adware (Adware), a potentially dangerous software, hacking tools, programs, hatches, joke programs, malicious scripts and the like - helluva lot of common in the network.


But something happened that had happened, because of the lack of appropriate software installed on your computer, simply did the necessary with the walking on the network. These are prog, used in conjunction antivirus + firewall (also known as a firewall).


Anti-Virus detects and protects the system from malware already running on your computer (viruses, Trojans, etc.), check the incoming mail and downloadable files. For security but a deep analysis of the system once a week should do, and periodically update the antivirus database.


Firewall also protects against outside intrusion, scanning the computer will warn about the activities of programs seeking access to the network. You'd be surprised how many of them (Wind, for example, although Refresh - Immediately turn off the automatic update system, if you are not licensed windose!). Firewall will also show all the connections currently set to a network that will block unwanted ads, banners and popapy, the activity of malicious scripts running (an elementary example is the already described way to run an undesirable site when you start the browser, which quickly begins to irritate).

I personally use an antivirus program for protection of ESET NOD32 and firewall Outpost FireWall.

In addition to these widely used are: Kaspersky Anti-Virus, DrWeb, Panda Internet Security, Norton AntiVirus; firewall Zona Alarm Security, AGAVA FireWall and many others.

There is also a mass of niche programs. Some of them are struggling just like with keyloggers or block only advertising. Others block the work of trojans gather information about your passwords to access various resources on the Internet and purse payment systems, analyzing the clipboard, and transmitting information to the host of the virus.

So these findings:

Need to attend to secure the protection of your computer (install antivirus and firewall programs - very desirable, in order to guarantee database updates, license, configure your firewall to Windows).

From time to do deep analysis of antivirus and a firewall for malicious programs.

Scan all files downloaded from the Internet for viruses (includes setting up a program-rocking).

Check also all e-mail and download files if you are not sure of their "clean", do not go to suspicious links in the letters had come as "spam".

Immediately delete suspicious if an antivirus program "says" that they are infected. Consider but one thing: Do not use simultaneously two anti-virus software - may cripple the system (they do not play well with each other).

Be sure to keep active anti-virus and firewall when you are on different warez and "interesting" sites.

Therefore, safe walks in the network.

Google Desktop - do a search on your Comp


In this post we will go about finding information in my Comp. Information in text format, of course.

Personally I have - it was a problem. A lot of saved web pages with articles, files in various text formats, pdf-books, e-mail - all that is called: "Download and forget". Find this something useful with search windose - a long time and a chore.

But was advised to take advantage of Google's free programulinoy - "Google Desktop". Indeed - a search engine in your Comp. After installing the program begins indexing the computer, gradually, during the switch. Also, each text file that you open, it indexes on the fly. "

To call the search box, double-click the button "Ctrl". In the search box enter the word or phrase, and immediately see the first ten results. We click on the link and open the file or folder, where it is.

To view all the results click the link at the bottom of the results "See these results on a browser. And then use as a normal search in Google via the default browser.

Of course the program can be configured to search the Internet, to establish a permanent sidebar with the clock, the search bar, news, etc. To do this, click "settings" button on the Quick Search.

To me this prog several times already are helped by the work of - information in the computer with 2003 accumulated, with different people (no longer working), and when something must be found, then the hand to pick the folder was problematic.

In general, I advise, soft helpful.

In the pursuit, to my recent article "On the installation or upgrade versions of the browser Opera 10.01 Final ", article about the auto-update of the browser to version 10.10. Or even more fresh, if you look at this story through time, after its release.

Generally, the version of Opera 10.01, on a possible update appeared immediately after starting the browser. Suggested to run autoupdate. In the case of consent, automatically slipped up 12 MB, and you will be prompted to install the program. If you agree - the program closes.

How to restore access to the ICQ number means service


Continuing the theme article "ICQ  - what and how to install". Frankly, I take this service very often, just in case. A recently installed Skype, I liked more - simpler, and does not slow, at startup. But it is to the amateur.

Consider going to a hypothetical situation where you lose access to ICQ. I mean, forget your password. This situation may occur after you reinstall your operating system. Or, imagine a crash when exiting from the program, its contents are still with the registration, login and password. Who knows ...

Situation, when you increase the data access ICQ, and changed the mailbox will not consider. I'm afraid that in this case, the number for you, unfortunately, lost.

To begin with, that to get a new password, you must have access to an electronic mailbox, which is registered ICQ, and you remember the secret answer to your secret question. Only in this case, you are able to restore access to a number.

In order to service you a new password generated the need to go to the page of your website ICQ "Support-Retrieve Password". There you will see the form of two columns.
In the titles you will see an inscription:
The first - "I Forgot my ICQ Password" (I forgot my password for ICQ)
The second - "I Forgot my ICQ Number" (I forgot my number ICQ)


On this page you can access from the data entry forms in the program by clicking on the "Forgot Password".

If you have access to the mailbox, or use the email client, then find the letter with the registration data obtained after the registration number. There you will find your number ICQ. This number, type in the first form in the field "ICQ number" and click "Next". If the number is lost, but remember nickname (login), under which communicated with this number, then fill the second form. They are writing their own labels: the nickname, name, surname, address of the box - exactly as specified at registration, and presses "Search".

In the second step, generate a new password in the form to write the answer to your secret question (he will be given), email address registration, fill the captcha (the numbers from the image) and click "Submit". If all goes well, then the resulting page, a message appears stating that your email took a new password.

We receive new mail, we find a letter from the slide ICQ, and there is a new password to the program. Start the animation ICQ, then enter the number or nickname and a new password, click "Sign" and ... Voila! You are in the program ... I hope:)

I repeat that this method will suit you only if you have access to the box, which was recorded ICQ. In most cases, and for other services, this is generally true. So what, watch your mailbox. Because, judging from the commentary to the article: "How do I delete a mailbox in Yandex", - the loss of access to it can be very painful.

Below you can download an archive of the three video-based installation, registration, restoration of access and work with the program ICQ. Online versions of which, as you can see right now, without leaving the site.

On the installation or upgrade versions of the browser Opera 10.01 Final


For quite a while out version of the Opera browser in the 10 series. But I could not come so you can update your Opera 9.64. But, sooner or later, there comes a moment when the need to make updates. The impetus was the message of a new version of the browser, called Opera 10.01 Final, obtained through RSS-tape news site Power Board. That is, through the publication of this site, I am following software updates. They also found and direct link to download a distribution program with the official site of the Opera

Well, the shock was received, and the program file download. But, before you install the new version over the old, I decided to make a backup of current settings and data existing in the viewer. Thus, at every fire.

Save, in this case, you must file with the following information:

- Bookmarks Opera, file «Opera6.adr» (in the version Opera9) or «bookmarks.adr» (in the version Opera10) - your saved favorites web pages - news feeds, file «opera-newsfeeds.opml» (in the version of Opera 9 ), and in versions of Opera 10, is the folder in the directory of e-mail program - a list of RSS-belts, you are subscribed to - contact Opera, file «contacts.adr» - saved by you, contact details for other internet users (created in the menu "Tools") - settings Opera, file «opera6.ini» (a version of Opera 9) or «operaprefs.ini» (a version of Opera 10) - keeps your browser settings (appearance, display panels and so on and etc.) - cookies, file «cookies4.dat» - Cookies store sites, and that it is read here (management is committed to the menu Tools-Advanced-Manage cookies ...). - passwords, file «wand.dat» - passwords to sites that you have stored in your browser (managed from the Tools menu, Advanced, Manage Passwords ...).

In fact, placement, and the name of these files, in versions Opera9.64 Opera10.01 been different. However, as a result, the new version over the old one was good and I did not have to do anything.

The actual determination of necessary files and folders, you can look as follows. In the top menu, click Help-About "in the resulting page, find the section" Paths ", in which both are addresses in the computer to folders Opera. Most of the files in the new version are in the directory "folder Opera: C: \ Documents and Settings \ Admin \ Application Data \ Opera \ Opera», and mail and RSS news feeds in the directory "mail folder: C: \ Documents and Settings \ Admin \ Local Settings \ Application Data \ Opera \ Opera \ mail ». In the old version of this directory: "Folder Opera: C: \ Documents and Settings \ Admin \ Application Data \ Opera \ Opera \ profile \» and the same mail folders: C: \ Documents and Settings \ Admin \ Local Settings \ Application Data \ Opera \ Opera \ mail ». Folder «C: \ Documents and Settings \ Admin \» you do not necessarily called the «Admin», although probably true.

If this folder, you will not see folders «Application Data» and «Local Settings», it means that you have disabled the display of hidden files and folders. This happens if the file or folder, through their "properties" is assigned the hidden attribute. See such files and folders are made as follows: in any folder on your computer, we click on the top menu click "Tools", then "Folder Options" - "View", in the form, looking in the window "Options" settings "Hidden files and folders" , put a click on "Show hidden files and folders" and save the settings click on the button "OK". You want appears mrzhete folder where you copy the necessary files and folders, to keep out of the system drive. After the upgrade, if you update to fail, and the settings and data erased, saved files can be moved to the working folder.

In short, you started Ivan Susanin in the impenetrable jungle of technology:). But it is only necessary to know everything to restore the files with passwords and cookies. Information about this when I had the need to examine the question, I found the relevant article of the site Luzerblog. RSS same and bookmarks are saved and restored much easier by the program.

To save a backup RCC feeds and bookmarks, click on the top menu of your browser click "File". In the menu that opens, click on "Import and Export", is there something you want to back up and export to a backup folder you created in my computer. There you can make the import of data from the saved files after the upgrade program, as well as favorite lists or import mail from other programs.

Summarize what was said. The program for viewing Internet hamlets, browser Opera 10.01 Final, as well as other browsers are gradually becoming "combine" to work on the Internet. It built many useful features: bookmarks, history of visits to internet resources, download manager, rss-reader, email program, and various widgets and so on. Of course we must be able to carry it all between the versions and restore after reinstalling the operating system. I hope this article in this matter will be helpful.

Later in the article, presented a video tutorial about installing or reinstalling the program viewer (browser) Opera version 10.01 final. In lessons analyzed questions: where to download the program and what data should be saved for later recovery program settings, if you're already used to it.

How to use the Opera browser as your email program


Once, I read the study of statistics, which indicated that 80% of users use e-mail service post, just visiting the site of the service provider. Although, at the same time, there is already a lot of opportunities to receive mail directly to your computer using mail program email client. And it, in principle, then, and do not have to look far. The simplest version, for example, is set in Windows, Outlook Express. But, as it will be discussed in a future article.

Today, we consider the possibilities in this regard, the browser Opera. As it turned out, after three years of its operation to me, there exists a built extension, which is serving as the mailer. Moreover, management and creation of the letters are absolutely similar to that used in the service we give to the electronic mailboxes. Until that synchronizes the folder structure, including the further you have created, in the account's service, and actions undertaken by you on the files of letters in the mail program. For this, you need to include the function in the IMAP settings on the service and thus create an account in mailer.

By the way, before signing up for a mailbox, in any such program, advise on service to find the Help section and Settings. 100% There are instructions for setting up most popular email programs. Let these pages will be open, because you will need to set:
  • address POP3-or IMAP-server - it is responsible for incoming mail;
  • address of SMTP-server - it is responsible for outgoing mail from you; 
  • particular setup SMTP-server for a specific service; 
  • possible, although unlikely, will require port numbers to work with servers.
Separately, in a text file, save such data (to make it easier to fill by kopipasta):
  • full email address (such vashlogin@servis.ru)
  • password
After this, go to the procedure for creating an account at the Opera. For this, the top horizontal menu, click on the tab "Tools", where we find "Accounts-mail and instant messaging. If you do not have a single account, then after clicking on the item pops up a window with the question: "You need to create an account before you proceed. Create it now? "Click" Yes "and will receive the following form, where you will be asked to select the type of this record. Select "Email" and click "Next>". In the new form you will be asked to enter: full name, address, mailbox and organization (I always write in such a field, home) - and again click "Next>". The following entry form: username ( «vashlogin» from the address) and password to access your mail. In the same manner we choose, on what the protocol will receive mail, "Surface mail (POP)» or IMAP. The default is POP.

Actually, on the «IMAP» I already wrote above. If you select it, then you need to turn it on in the settings of mail service. Moreover, not a fact that such a protocol is supported by your service. Study the "Help" and "Settings" service. You may need to edit the address IMAP and SMTP server settings in the following form.

To begin, I advise you to choose POP. In this case, if the server addresses, the service standard (POP3 - type «pop.servis.ru», and SMTP - «smtp.servis.ru»), after clicking "Next>" in the following form and you'll see them in forms " Incoming Mail Server "and" Outgoing Server ", which checks the address server and presses" OK ". However, it is quite possible that, after you click "Next>" the account creation process is completed, and the program immediately begins to download messages. For example, so I had to configure the mailbox "@ gmail.com» and «@ mail.ru». Obviously, the configuration of some services is already in the new browser versions of Opera 10.01 Final, and further adjustment can be viewed on ofsayte most Opera.

After the formation of the first account, in the top menu of your browser, you will see the tab "Mail", where you can work with electronic correspondence. But I advise you to configure your browser to display additional sidebar "Quick Tabs". To do this, click: "View" - "Toolbars", tick the "Panels".

Side will narrow socket with icons of tools: bookmarks, mail, contacts, widgets, notes, downloads, history and more (add on option, "+" sign in the panel). If you click on the icon with the letter, then opens the control panel ribbons news and e-mail accounts. Choose the necessary and appropriate content from the received mail is displayed in the browser window, and in the panel itself will open a standard folder structure of the mailbox. Create and respond to messages the same way as you did in the account's in the service. Receiving initialized right click on the name of the account and choosing from the context menu "Check Mail".

If you do something incorrectly configured when you create an account or want to customize it, then click on the button again on the tab menu "Tools" and then "Accounts-mail and instant messaging." A form of "Account Management", where you need the left mouse button to click once on the name desired, and click the "Change".

A window will appear "Account Properties" from the tabs in which you and make the necessary changes:
1)  General settings (record name, address, mailbox, etc.).
2)  Then, if necessary, make changes in the server address and authentication settings.
3) Basic settings - this is checked by the function "Leave messages on server" (as for me, it is best to keep) and a number of minutes to check mail on the server (decide in 5 minutes or 105).
4) Settings outgoing messages (encoding, some settings) and editing of the automatic email signature (I advise to make his signature).

To save the settings, click "OK".

Mail folders in the program is available at: «C: \ Documents and Settings \ Admin \ Local Settings \ Application Data \ Opera \ Opera \ mail», where «Admin» you may be different (read the article about the Opera browser 10.01 Final). I recommend making a backup folder on the non-system disk.

The above procedure is, in principle, be repeated to configure mail accounts and in other programs. Of course, with minor nuances, they are characteristic. The key features are correct: the address box, password, server addresses, and authentication of them, ports.

In the video lesson, to the article, the process demonstrated by the example of services: Gmail and YandexMail - for IMAP protocol and Mail.ru - for POP protocol. In future articles, namely on the basis Mail.ru will be shown the process of working with Outlook Express and the Bat. The solution is, though clumsy, the question of use Yahoo, not giving free access to e-mail programs, considered the second article of this blog: "How to solve the problem of receiving mail from Yahoo!?»

How to make a printout of web page on a printer


This article is a logical continuation of the post "How to keep a page of the site in your computer". In it I talk about how to print the page, in principle anyone copyright on the paper. It may be necessary as in the home and at work, if you want to provide information without a computer, or just you like.

This feature is built into every browser and, in principle, easily implemented by simply pressing a key on your keyboard keys Ctrl + P, with further work in the normal print window. But you'll print the Web page, which is written in HTML. And far from clear that it will be printed in the same way that you see on the screen. Here is how to print the portion of the page, what is needed and considered in the article and show in the video - look at the channel YuTub :-).

The best feature print made in Internet Explorer 8, Opera and Mozilla Firefox. Almost all of them made similar and individually tell no sense.

In order to first see and then print the web page, you need to click on the top menu of your browser to "File" button. In the Search tab, you will see: "Print" Print Settings "(" Page Setup ")," Print Preview "(" Preview "). Click on "Print Preview" ( "Preview") and see what we will be printed.

Preview page before you print will show in what form the page will go to the printer and how many pages it will break your browser. It is possible that the blocks page disintegrate and will need to look for options with your text or pictures. Next, clicking on the "Print" or Ctrl + P, you specify which pages to print (that is, from what to what).

Of course, the page does not necessarily break up into parts, and often appear as well as on screen. But agree that it is better to check beforehand. In addition, during the preview and you can change the page settings such as: portrait or landscape, margins, indents, etc.

Unfortunately, the browser Google Chrome and Safari, I could not find the preview function. There is only direct printing via Ctrl + P or by clicking on the icon list on the right of the address bar, shakes "Print" ( "Print").

I hope this useful and sometimes necessary function viewer program you will find useful in the practice of using the Internet.
