Create Partitions In USB Flash Drive

You can create multiple partitions and store your private data Into Flash USB Drive. Only the first partition will be visible, and the other partitions will not show up on any other PC, but your own.and also you can avoid viruses affecting this data when plugged in on another computer.So to create partitions

Follow The Step As Given Below:
-Plug in your pen drive into your PC’s USB port. Next, right-click on ‘My Computer’ and click on ‘Manage’ in the context menu. Click on ‘Device Manager’ on the left pane. This will show all the hardware devices connected to your PC. Now, on the right pane, scroll down to ‘Disk Drives’ and you should see your pen drive connected here. Right-click on the pen drive and select ‘Properties’.

-In the properties window that just opened, click on the ‘Details’ tab. From the scroll down menu under ‘Property’, choose ‘Device Instance Path’. You should see a string of characters highlighted in the ‘Value’ window below, which should read something like ‘USBSTORDISK&VEN_&PROD…..’ Right-click on this value and select ‘Copy’. Now close all the windows without saving changes.
-Now open the folder that you uncompressed after downloading the universal USB flash drive driver. In this folder, find and open the file named ‘cfadisk.inf’ in ‘Notepad’ or any test editor you prefer (Notepad++ is ideal to be used here’ (download from ‘notepad-plus-plus.org’).
-Now locate the words ‘device_instance_id_goes_here’, which is available on line 26. You need to replace these words with the string you just copied to the clipboard from the Device Manager. Save the file and close the editor.

-Now go back to the ‘Device Manager’ page (repeat step 1). This time click on the ‘Driver’ tab and click the button ‘Update driver’

-On the next window, choose ‘Browse my computer for driver software’ when the system asks how you want to search for the driver software. Then on the next window, choose ‘Let me pick from a list of drivers …. ‘.

-On the next window, uncheck the box ‘Show compatible hardware’ and click on the ‘Have disk button’. Now click on ‘Browse’ and from the universal USB driver folder on your desktop select the ‘cfadisk.inf’ file and click on the ‘Open button’, followed by the ‘OK’ and then ‘Next’ buttons on the previous windows.

-An update driver warning message should show up stating that you are trying to install a driver, which is not compatible with your hardware. Ignore the message and click on ‘Yes’. The system will start installing the driver and show up another warning that the driver is not a verified or authentic driver. Ignore this one message and click on ‘Install this driver software anyway’. Let the system update the driver and you shall receive a message of a successful driver update.

Note: You can use this modified driver for this pen drive only. To use another pen drive, you will need to do the whole process again.

-That’s all you needed to do. Now once you are back to the ‘Computer Management’ window, click on ‘Disk Management’ from the left pane and start partitioning your pen drive as you would with a regular hard drive. You can create multiple partitions and format them, accordingly.
Partiitioning the flash drive, like you would a hard drive

Note: You can access all the partitions on the pen drive only from your PC. Other PCs will only be able to see the first partition and the rest will be unavailable. Make a copy of the driver on the first partition of the pen drive and you can install it on other PCs, in case you need to access the other partitions.

This way, you can plug in the pen drive on your friend’s PCs without worrying about your private data. To reset everything back to the way it was, simply delete the partitions completely and uninstall/delete the driver for the pen drive from the Device Manager.

How to change the default font in Microsoft Excel

E
xcel's default font setting got changed. Obviously you can manually choose your desired font each time you start a new worksheet, but that's a hassle.

In Word, you can change the default font via the font settings window, which is logical. However, when you access the same area in Excel (which you can do by pressing Ctrl-Shift-F), you'll find no such option.

Fortunately, it's not difficult to make the change if you know where to look. (Note that this info applies to Excel 2010 and 2013; I'm not sure if it's the
same in earlier versions.)

1. Start Excel and open any new or existing workbook.
2. Click File, Options.
3. In the General section, look for "When creating new workbooks." The very first option: "Use this as the default font." 
Choose the font you want, then click OK. (You an also modify the default font size if you want.)

Now, whenever you start a new workbook, Excel should default to that font..

shop online without a credit card

There are good reasons not to use a credit card online--or at all. Shopping online increases the odds that someone will steal your credit card number. You may want to make a purchase without your spouse knowing about it. And the buy-now-pay-later aspect of credit cards encourage some people to dangerously overspend.
But the online economy is very much a credit card economy. If you're going to buy a song, book, tablet, or just about anything online, you'll be expected to enter a credit card number.

Before we get to the good options, let's discuss an obvious but very bad one: your ATM card. Sure, it has a 16-digit number and can be used as a credit card. But it's a debit card, with the money coming out of your bank account immediately with each charge. If a thief gets your number, he or she could empty your account before you know what happened. Not so with a real credit card, where you pay nothing until you see the monthly bill and can challenge suspicious charges.

Instead, ask your bank to set you up with a secondary account for online purchases, and keep only a small amount in that account. The account would need its own ATM card, with its own credit card number. Just make sure this account lacks overdraft protection; you don't want money moving automatically from your real account into this one.

Another option: Sign up for Paypal, connecting it to your bank account. Not all retail sites support Paypal, but the payment service can give you a debit card that you can use in place of a credit card.

Finally, you can use gift cards, which you can buy at old-fashioned brick-and-mortar stores. You can even buy these with cash.

I checked my local Safeway, and found gift cards for various pre-paid amounts for Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Ebay, Hulu Plus, iTunes, and others. They also sell pre-paid Visa cards, which you could purchase for any amount between $20 to $500. The Visa cards come with a $4 purchase charge; the retailer-specific cards cost nothing beyond the shopping power of the card..

How to manually lower Netflix's streaming bit rate

You can indeed change Netflix's buffer rate on the fly, while you're using the desktop (i.e. browser-based) player.

All you do is press Alt-Shift and then left-click in the player window. In the pop-up Diagnostics menu that appears, click Stream Manager.
Next, click the Manual Selection box, then try lowering the bit rate a few notches. ClickApply and you should have fewer pauses in the playback. If not, try lowering it a bit further still.
This method can also help if your ISP saddles you with a particularly restrictive bandwidth cap. If you typically go over your data limit each month, lower the bit rate. (You can make a more permanent change by venturing into your Netflix account settings and choosingManage Video Quality, though you don't get nearly as many choices here.)
Granted, not many people will need to monkey with these kinds of settings, but if you're not blessed with high-speed Internet or you need to keep a close eye on that data cap, it's nice to know these settings are so readily accessible.

Xerox to patch scanner glitch that can alter numbers

The problem was uncovered last week by a computer science student in Germany. He used a Xerox WorkCentre scanner to create a PDF of a building floor plan, and noticed some of the fine print in the document had been reproduced incorrectly in the PDF. The text that gave the area size of each room had been duplicated in some cases, so that all the rooms were given the same area.

The error resulted from how the scanner’s JBIG2 image compression algorithm works at high compression settings. If it determines two parts of a document are identical, it makes one compressed version and reuses it across all the similar areas.
Xerox acknowledged the problem Tuesday and on Wednesday said it would issue a software patch.

“Xerox is developing a software patch that can be remotely downloaded to each device,”the company said in a blog post. “The software patch will disable the highest compression mode thus completely eliminating the possibility for character substitution. Xerox will begin rolling out the patch within a few weeks.”

The problem does not occur when the machines are used for printing, copying or sending faxes. It only occurs when scanning, and when the highest compression and lowest image quality are selected, which has to be done manually, the company said.

“You will not see a character substitution issue when scanning with the factory default settings. We provide safeguards to avoid problems such as these. Customers should check their device(s) to ensure the factory default settings have not been changed,” it said.

Xerox said it is also developing a guide to help customers check their current scanner settings. It will be available this week.

“We apologize for any confusion and inconvenience this has caused our customers. We are working tirelessly to address these issues—working closely with our partners and customer service teams across the globe to both proactively inform customers as well as help them solve the issue,” the company said.

Facebook launches Graph Search to all English-speaking users

Graph Search provides a way for users to search for various topics and interests across the site based on their existing connections and friends. Graph Search lets users submit their queries in plain English, so people can search for things like, “Friends who live in my city,” or “Hotels in San Francisco visited by my friends,” or even, “Music liked by people who like the music that I like,” Facebook notes.
The company began rolling out the tool to a limited number of people in January. At an introductory press conference at Facebook’s headquarters in Menlo Park, California, CEO Mark Zuckerberg described Graph Search as an early stage feature that is still years away from being complete.

“Graph Search is a really big project, and it’s going to take years and years to index the whole map of the graph,” he said at the time.

Following Wednesday’s expansion, people can continue to search for friends and Pages by name, Facebook said, or use simple phrases to find something specific across people, photos, places, interests and more.
Privacy worries
Since its unveiling, Facebook has had to address tough questions over Graph Search’s privacy implications. One major issue is the extent to which the tool makes it easier for people to unearth content or information about others who do not want that content to be seen.

Graph Search is designed to only let people see content that they could see before, and users can only search for content that has been shared with them.
Facebook in February, for instance, assured users that the tool does not compromise the privacy rights of minors. Any information that could identify a young person by age or by location will only be shared with that person’s friends of friends if the searcher is between the ages of 13 and 17, the company said.

In its announcement Wednesday of Graph Search’s expansion, Facebook reiterated that it introduced new privacy controls last December. Some of those tools were designed to make it easier for users to manage who can see their content or message them.

Facebook is working to further develop Graph Search such as by letting it search across posts, comments and mobile. As the company does that, “we encourage everyone to use your privacy shortcuts and Activity Log to review and adjust whom you have shared with, including status updates,” Facebook said Wednesday.
