Fixing the Hidden Folders shit

slm/hey
So every once in a while there seems to be some new strain of the Gammima or kavo virus spreading arnd like wildfire and of the ppl arnd campus 70% of these guys [n gals] dont knw tht they are infected, and even if they are they dont really care.They just spread it more cuz its nearly undetectable n like 80% dont care abt updating their Anti-Virus definitions

[I am writing this just after witnessing wht i described above at a khajoor's pc, courtesy of a friend of a friend :S and I'M DEFINITELY PISSED so bear with me]

and whn they do realize that its infected [like this problem] they just reinstall windows, since they would rather have a ‘clean slate’ [but the virus is still somewhere on the countless external drives/flashes tht they've connected]

**FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PPL its not rocket science**

and after re-install the first thing they do is attach tht bloody infected HDD drive back! [cuz they wanna install Service pack 2 n tht would save them]
n the virus just hops back on the system and shows its big ugly tongue and says muahahaha .. n its all over again…

the ones which are my personal fav are the autorun overrides.. they try to open it in a new window or try to execute the trojan horse..
n after the AV has removed it u find tht the autorun.inf file is still there n u have to CTRL+E it to open it :S
u cant remove the damned file cuz ur hidden files are locked shut in the hidden mode

Here’s wht happens”
u click on show hidden files and folder, click Apply n … wait.. it turned back to the Do Not show hidden files n folders :@
n again n again n again.. n unless u remmeber the hidden folder’s names.. u r screwed..

Here’s a fix thats guaranteed to work.

Go to the following registry key:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL

Delete the value CheckedValue. (Its type should be REG_SZ and data should be 2.)

Create a new DWORD value called CheckedValue (same as above, except that the type is REG_DWORD). Modify the value data to 1 (0×00000001).

This should let you change the “Hidden Files and Folders” option.

REMEMBER dont mess w/ the registry

[and if u mess up this simple procedure, I am sooo not responsible]

The Right Brain vs Left Brain test

If you see ‘her’ turning clock-wise, you’re a bloody genius w/ a bright future. But if u think she’s turning counter-clockwise, u’re a failure doomed to be a loser for the rest of your cursed life.

The Right Brain vs Left Brain test … do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?

If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.

Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.
