SysRun

Description	SysRun is a powerful program that allows you to run a program as SYSTEM. If you do not know what it means to run a program as SYSTEM then this program is not for you! Running a program as SYSTEM can be very dangerous, it completely bypasses security. The SYSTEM account is authorized to do anything. But for the �ber-dork who knows what he/she is doing, running certain processes as SYSTEM can be very useful. Note: if you run a SYSTEM process while logged into a machine using Terminal Services you will not see the UI as SYSTEM processes appear in a different desktop than the TS window.
Use	Make sure you are logged in as a user with administrative rights on the machine. Next start SysRun and enter the command line of the program to run as SYSTEM and click Run. Optionally there is a browse button allowing you to browse for the program. You can also specify the program to run as SYSTEM from the command line for scripting purposes.

View workstations share on the network

Description	ListShares is a simple application with admittedly limited appeal. ListShares provides a quick and easy way to view all the shares on the current or remote computer. ListShares is designed for and only works on a local area network (LAN), and does not work across the Internet. Of course the question is, why would anyone want/need to view information about all the shares on a given computer? Well first sharing files on a computer can be dangerous. Many LAN-based viruses spread themselves by "infecting" files accessible on shared folders. Thus knowing which folders are currently being shared is an important security measure to protecting a computer from viruses. It is true that Windows provides the ability to view all shares on a given machine, but this functionality is not easily accessible. Most users do not know how or where to access that information. So ListShares makes this task very simple. Also, ListShares allows you to view all shares on a remote system, something the built-in Windows method does not support. It should also be noted that ListShares lists all shares, including "hidden" shares.
Use	When you first start ListShares it displays information about all the shares on the current computer. Click "Refresh" to update the information. To view all the shares on a remote computer, enter the computers name and press "Refresh." ListShares will connect to the remote machine and display the share information, including hidden shares.

Convert CD/DVD 2 ISO

Description	CD2ISO is a simple CD/DVD ripper. It will allow you to easily rip any data CD/DVD into an ISO file. The ISO file can be saved on disk as a backup copy, or burned to another disc to make an identical copy of the original disc.
Use	CD2ISO is very simple to use. Just select your CD/DVD drive that contains the disc to be ripped, then click "Rip." As it rips the data it will display a progress dialog.

Quick Paste

Description	QuickPaste is a simple program that extends the capability of the Windows clipboard. Anyone who has done a lot of "cut and paste" work has wished that it were possible to store multiple strings in the clipboard. QuickPaste simulates this behavior by allowing you to store up to nine strings that can be placed into the clipboard with a click of the mouse.
Use	When you run QuickPaste it adds a new icon to the system tray. Double-clicking on this icon will display the QuickPaste program. Click the configure button to add up to nine strings. Once the strings have been set there are several ways to put a string into the clipboard. You can click on the appropriate button, or if you right-click on the system tray icon you can select the desired string. QuickPaste is a small program designed to take up very little screen space. The program has "always on top" as well as "snap to edge" functionality to make it easy to keep the program on the screen at the same time as the main program you are running.

Reover files from an accident delete

What is DiskDigger?

DiskDigger can recover files from any type of media that your computer can read. This includes USB flash drives, memory cards (SD, CompactFlash, Memory Stick, etc), and of course your hard drive. The types of files that it recovers include photos, videos, music, documents, and many other formats.

DiskDigger can even scan reformatted or badly formatted disks (disks to which Windows can’t assign a drive letter), and even disks with bad sectors. It bypasses the Windows file system drivers and scans your disk directly. It has its own built-in support for the following file systems: FAT12 (floppy disks), FAT16 (older memory cards), FAT32 (newer memory cards and hard disks), NTFS (newer hard disks), and exFAT (Microsoft’s new successor to FAT32).

DiskDigger is also very compact and portable. The entire program is a single executable file that you can run from anywhere. There’s nothing to “install,” and the program doesn’t leave any trace of having been run.

You may find DiskDigger useful if…

• you deleted one or more photos from a memory card by accident, and want them restored.
• you deleted one or more photos from a memory card on purpose, but now want them restored.
• you deleted some documents from your USB flash drive, and want to recover them.
• you came across an old hard drive of yours (or someone else’s) that’s been reformatted, and would like to see what its previous contents were.
• you’ve “securely wiped” your media, and want to make sure that your media has actually been wiped correctly.
• you’re just curious about what old deleted files are still present on your memory cards or hard drives.

DiskDigger is also a work in progress. This means that new features will be added very frequently, including support for more file formats, more configuration options, etc., so check back for updates.

How does it work?

DiskDigger has two modes of operation which you can select when scanning your media for deleted files:

• Scan the file system for deleted files (dig deep). This scans the file system that is present on your media, searching for deleted file entries. Supported file systems are FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, exFAT, and NTFS. The advantages of this are:
  - Very fast
  - Recovers all file types
  - Recovers file names
  And the disadvantages are:
  - Doesn’t support all possible file systems (see above for supported file systems)
  - Doesn’t scan entire disk (only scans what the file system is aware of)
• Scan the disk surface for traces of lost files (dig deeper). This thoroughly scans every sector of your media, searching for traces of known file types. The advantages of this are:
  - Scans entire disk
  - Goes underneath the file system, therefore independent of file system
  And the disadvantages are:
  - Slower (sometimes much slower) than the first method
  - Doesn’t recover file names or fragmented files
  - Only supports certain file types
  - Finds ‘existing’ files as well as deleted files

What isn’t DiskDigger?

It’s not magic. It can’t recover any arbitrary file from any amount of time in the past. When trying to recover lost files, you should be realistic. In a real-world situation, you’ll have a good chance of recovering your files only if they were deleted very recently. The more you keep using your disk to work with new files, the slimmer your chance of recovering deleted files. Of course it’s always worth a try.

It is not a “repair” utility. It cannot repair a broken memory card or disk. DiskDigger is a strictly “read-only” tool, and never changes the contents of the media you scan. It will, of course, scan unformatted (or badly formatted) media, but it won’t attempt to fix the formatting of the media.

Features:

• DiskDigger scans for many different types of files, including photos, videos, music files, and documents, and displays what it finds as it scans in real time.
• You can preview most of the files found by DiskDigger without having to save them to a different location first. More than that, you can preview files while DiskDigger continues scanning!
• DiskDigger scans any type of media that is readable by your computer, including USB flash drives, memory cards (SD, CompactFlash, Memory Stick, etc), and your hard drive(s).
• It can undelete files from all types of FAT partitions (including the new exFAT file system), as well as NTFS.
• It can go underneath the file system to scan for traces and remnants of lost files.
• DiskDigger does everything in memory, meaning that it never writes any temporary files to your disk or other media (unless you choose to save files that it recovers).
• Since DiskDigger is a completely self-contained program, it leaves no trace on the computer where it is run. It does not save any settings to the registry. There is nothing to “install,” and the entire program is a single executable file.
• For advanced users, DiskDigger allows scanning disk image files.

How to Use

I hope that using DiskDigger should be intuitive enough for most people to use without a written guide (if it’s not, let me know how I can make it better). However, if necessary, you can check out this excellent step-by-step guide from TechRepublic.

What is Clonezilla ?

You're probably familiar with the popular proprietary commercial package Norton Ghost®, and its OpenSource counterpart, Partition Image. The problem with these software packages is that it takes a lot of time to massively clone systems to many computers. You've probably also heard of Symantec's solution to this problem, Symantec Ghost Corporate Edition® with multicasting. Well, now there is an OpenSource clone system (OCS) solution called Clonezilla with unicasting and multicasting!

Clonezilla, based on DRBL, Partition Image, ntfsclone, partclone, and udpcast, allows you to do bare metal backup and recovery. Two types of Clonezilla are available, Clonezilla live and Clonezilla SE (server edition). Clonezilla live is suitable for single machine backup and restore. While Clonezilla SE is for massive deployment, it can clone many (40 plus!) computers simultaneously. Clonezilla saves and restores only used blocks in the harddisk. This increases the clone efficiency. At the NCHC's Classroom C, Clonezilla SE was used to clone 41 computers simultaneously. It took only about 10 minutes to clone a 5.6 GBytes system image to all 41 computers via multicasting!

Features of Clonezilla

• Free (GPL) Software.
• Filesystem supported: ext2, ext3, ext4, reiserfs, xfs, jfs of GNU/Linux, FAT, NTFS of MS Windows, and HFS+ of Mac OS. Therefore you can clone GNU/Linux, MS windows and Intel-based Mac OS, no matter it's 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x86-64) OS. For these file systems, only used blocks in partition are saved and restored. For unsupported file system, sector-to-sector copy is done by dd in Clonezilla.
• LVM2 (LVM version 1 is not) under GNU/Linux is supported.
• Multicast is supported in Clonezilla SE, which is suitable for massively clone. You can also remotely use it to save or restore a bunch of computers if PXE and Wake-on-LAN are supported in your clients.
• Based on Partimage, ntfsclone, partclone, and dd to clone partition. However, clonezilla, containing some other programs, can save and restore not only partitions, but also a whole disk.
• By using another free software drbl-winroll, which is also developed by us, the hostname, group, and SID of cloned MS windows machine can be automatically changed.

Which Clonezilla Shall I Use ?

• Clonezilla Live: Clonezilla live allows you to use CD/DVD or USB flash drive to boot and run clonezilla (Unicast only)
  
• Clonezilla SE: Clonezilla SE is included in DRBL, therefore a DRBL server must first be set up in order to use Clonezilla to do massively clone (unicast, broadcast and multicast are supported)

10 useful video sites to teach you new tech skills

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Therefore, a video should be worth a thousand pictures. Right?

A video tutorial is a great way to learn a new skill because you can see rather than imagine.

Here are 10 video sites that will improve your tech knowledge, starting from amateur tips and tricks at the top, to more advanced techniques and tech skills towards the bottom of the list.

1. Videojug

Basic tasks like connecting your laptop to a TV cannot be easier with the unique, informative, structured and humorous video tutorials at Videojug.

The sheer simplicity in the videos along with the cheesy voice and acting of the Videojug staff is sure to keep you entertained throughout your learning process.

There are numerous articles, but this site is aimed at beginners and hobbyists rather than pros, so it's probably a good one to suggest to less tech savvy friends who could benefit from learning how to clean a laptop, install more memory and speak geek (yes, it's now a language).

2. PC World

The PC World website (not to be confused with the PC World store in the UK) is a great place to find video tips and fixes for common problems such as how to salvage a wet gadget and how to undelete photos on a digital camera.

The videos themselves are pretty straightforward, focusing only on the important steps to ensure your problems are solved.

3. WonderHowTo

Ever wondered how to defragment your computer while idle, or develop content for the Google Android platform?.

WonderHowTo is designed for PC beginners and aspiring programmers on the preliminary stages to becoming a fully fledged geek.

4. Howcast

Howcast is filled with tutorials about gadgets and gizmos. It's all about keeping up with modern tech habits such as setting up a wireless network at home, building a home laser security system and creating 3D effects in Photoshop.

5. CNET TV

CNET TV is the most varied of all of the tech video sites listed here with simple basic tutorials on using MMS on the iPhone to more advanced tasks like getting subscription music rentals from Napster and other services onto your mobile phone.

6. Tekzilla

The tyrannosaurus of tech video sites, Tekzilla has a new daily video tip every weekday (about two minutes long).

This site isn't full of 'how to charge your iPod' sort of tips. Instead it's got auto-refresh Firefox, create custom fonts in Windows and a load of handy hidden features in Windows, OS X and web browsers.

Every tip is genuinely useful and with 454 daily episodes released, there is plenty to catch up if you have never previously visited Tekzilla.

7. Instructables

Instructables focuses largely on the weird and DIY aspect of tech such as removing speakers and Bluetooth chips from a MacBook and how to load a DS game. The majority of the content is user-made so there are pretty unusual topics to find.

8. Adobe TV

If you have Adobe software on your computer at work or home, and ever wondered how to get the most from the apps, Adobe TV is one of the best places to learn. Discover how to create fantastic photographic effects with Photoshop and create clever animations and games with Flash.

The video tutorials consist of tips, tricks and new features by the creators and professionals at Adobe, showing off the software at its best helping you to produce something you never thought you could.

9. Ideal Programmer

With over 800 hours of programming videos, Ideal Programmer is a budding programmer's dream.

The impressive collection includes tutorials from Stanford (such as the introduction to C++) and various other sources. Be warned, though, that while most of the videos are free, some require a payment.

10. Hak5

Hak 5 is a unique tech show, and is definitely not for the amateur. From building a free VPN (Virtual Private Network) on Linux or Windows, to extracting Windows executables from packet captures, these videos are for the hardcore geeks and the software DIY fanatics who only care about getting past their university's firewall and creating Google Maps GPS mashups during their spare time.
