Shortcut For Locking The Screen in Windows 7 or Vista

Since from last many days I have been receiving emails from my readers, who are telling me that we have deviated from what actually we had started with. We are focusing more on internet and social media not on simple computer tweaks. So I decided to start again that series of tweaks, tips and tricks....

In this post I am going to show you how to create a shortcut to lock the screen. Once you have locked it you need to login again. If you have password set, then you will need to give password otherwise simply login by clicking the log on button.

-->>The quickest way to lock your computer screen is to just use the Win+L keyboard shortcut. Some people prefer to use the mouse to lock the workstation, however, or would just like to have both options.




Here’s how to easily create a shortcut to lock Windows 7, Vista, or even Windows XP as well.
Right-click wherever you want to create the shortcut, choose New, and then Shortcut.
Enter the following text into the shortcut textbox. Note that the screen will look different on Windows XP, but the same text should work.
rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation

Enter a name for the shortcut, and then click Finish. And you're done....!

    Recovering Deleted Files, Pictures & Videos

      So many times we accidently delete some important files, pictures or videos. Sometimes we loose files because of unexpected system failure  ( ultimately causing system format). We can get our deleted files back using Recovery Softwares/Utilities.  Even though a file was deleted there is a good chance that contents of the file are still around.  When a file is deleted the contents of the file are not removed. Only a pointer to the file in the file system table is deleted.   It is very important to immediately stop writing to the storage device that previously contained your files/pictures so that the old file contents are not overwritten.  For example, don’t take any more pictures with your digital camera because new pictures will overwrite the deleted files. HOW TO RECOVER DELETED FILES???? Step1: You will need to use a utility to recover your lost files. I like to use a free ut...
