** MSCIT ERA Assistant Problem **
You might be surprised to see my new post after a long span of two years. Right !!! Anyway, The best time to start any work is to start it now. So why i am waiting for ? Let us start...
Every time you want to shut down your ERA server (Generally having Windows 2003 Server as an OS), it refused your request and denied to do so. This happened due to ERA ASSISTANT which gets automatically loaded along with OS, when you start computer.
The solution available now is to close ERA assistant using Task Manager and then shut down your computer. It is quite tricky.
I have created a batch file to do the same with smarter way. Here is how:
>> Open notepad.
>> Add the following two lines :
@Echo off
taskkill /f /im era_assistant.exe
shutdown /f /t 5 /s /c "Bye Now !"
Exactly as it appears above. Instead of the message bye now, Of course you can write your own message.
>> Save the file as turnoff.bat.
Now, Double click on it, and your computer will shut down in normal way.
In Similar fashion you can create a file Restart.bat to restart your ERA Server. Here you go...
@Echo off
taskkill /f /im era_assistant.exe
shutdown /f /t 5 /r /c "Bye Now !"
Note that, instead of /s in shutdown command i simply replace /s with /r to restart.
*** Wish you happy Learning !! ***

Disabling USB storage driver (USBSTOR)
Locate the registry key
The main drawback of this method is that, it only works if the USB storage driver is already installed. If it has not, Windows resets the Start value to 3 which enables the USB port again. So, manually you can enable or disable you USB storage device by setting its Start value to 3 (Enable) and 4 (Disable).
If you are “C” Lover then you can also do the above trick by using a snippet of code as below :
// Disabling USB Storage
#include
void main()
{
system("reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\USBSTOR \/v Start \/t REG_DWORD \/d 4 \/f");
}
// Enabling USB Storage
#include
void main()
{
system("reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\USBSTOR \/v Start \/t REG_DWORD \/d 3 \/f");
}
Compile the programs. Make .EXE file and distribute it to your friends. Enjoy!!!

>> Inserting Sample text in Office Word 2007 <<
After a long span of months I am submitting this post for you. It is especially useful for Microsoft office 2007 user during practical sessions. Many times you need sample text during practical of Word 2007. Many user type their favorite text and then perform their practices. But, after this point forward, if you want sample text , don’t type it and waste your time, simply use rand() function of Word 2007. Here is how you can use it.
“On the Insert tab, the galleries include items that are designed to coordinate with the overall look of your document. You can use these galleries to insert tables, headers, footers, lists, cover pages, and other document building blocks. When you create pictures, charts, or diagrams, they also coordinate with your current document look.
Syntax : =rand(p,l)
Where, p is the number of paragraphs, and
l is the number of lines that you want to appear in each paragraph.
The following are some examples that show how the parameters work:
=rand(1) inserts one paragraph with three lines of text in the paragraph.
=rand(5,10) inserts 5 paragraphs with 10 lines of text in each paragraph.
To insert sample text that is compatible with Microsoft Office Word 2003 and earlier versions, type =rand.old() in the document where you want the text to appear, and then press ENTER. The sample text that is inserted is as follow :
The function has the following syntax:
Syntax : =rand.old(p,l)
Note In this function, p is the number of paragraphs, and l is the number of lines that you want to appear in each paragraph.
The parameters are optional. If you omit the parameters the default number of paragraphs is three, and the default number of lines per paragraph is two.

*** Dual Boot Adjustments ***
In this topic I am going to discuss some simple but must know issues for every Windows Dual Boot OS user. Most of the computer geeks already acquainted about this but most of the users are still unaware of it. In this topic I want to discuss about following issues:
1) Setting default option for OS.
2) Changing order of menu items in OS selection menu.
3) Setting startup delay.
Changing order of menu items in OS selection menu: This is very easy task. Just click on the appropriate menu item and the click on Move Up or Move Down button.
And then click on OK.
Setting Startup Delay : This is set to 30 unless you make a change. To setup startup delay, simply type the value of delay in Timeout text box.
Another way to configure this most commonly edited settings is to open the Start menu, right-click on "My Computer" and choose "Properties" from the context menu. The System Properties dialog box will open as shown below. In the section "Startup and Recovery" click the button "Settings".
The another dialog appears which shown both the Timeout setting and the default operating system settings. These settings can be changed here.
To add or delete an operating system or program from the boot display menu, use the "Edit" button on the right of the entry "To edit the startup options file manually, click Edit" as shown in the figure below.
You can also do these task using comand line. Take a help on bootcfg by typing bootcfg /? on command line. Best of luck !

>> Don’t get full around Access 2003 and Outlook 2003
Actually the Exam Demo created by P. C. Technology Pvt. Ltd. Is a nice software created for MKCL. Programming for MS-WORD, MS-EXCEL, MS-POWERPOINT, WINDOWS is real programming and the Exam Demo opens the actual applications (MS-WORD, MS-EXCEL, MS-POWERPOINT, WINDOWS Explorer). So, for this Demo to run successfully, you need to install any version of Office like Office 2000, Office 2003 or Office 2007. And according to your installed version of Office, the Demo opens the latest installed version of Office. For example, if you have installed two versions of Office in your PC say Office 2003 and Office 2007 then Demo opens newer version of office i.e. Office 2007.
For other applications i.e. MS-Access, MS-FrontPage and MS-Outlook they have created .SWF files. The file format SWF (acronym of "Small Web Format") can be generated from within Macromedia Flash. So just follow me to check out the secret of these files.
Popup menu appears. From the popup menu, select properties. The shortcut properties dialog appears on the screen.
Now double click on the folder name files. This will show the contents of the folder as below :
Observe that most of the files are having extension .SWF. Now right click on any one of these file and select Open with… option. It presents the following screen:
Now click on the select the program from list option button and the click on OK. Another dialog box appears as below :
Notice that, by default form the Recommended Program groups the option Internet Explorer is already selected. Click on OK.
Security warning appears below the address bar. Right click on it and from the popup menu select Allow Block Content… .
Selected SWF file now opens. Move your mouse on the image and try experimenting to click on the various parts on the screen. Now try right clicking the image and you know why you need flash player to run this Demo.
So, now no more installation and uninstallation. After all, Life is adjustment, adjust it.

[Note : This topic is dedicated for all ALCs of MKCL.]
Worm server is a best software ever made by MKCL. I really want to congratulate MKCL for creation of such wonderful and amazing series of software like LMS, Worm Sever/Client and Bizclient.
After creation of ALCs (Authorized Learning Center), it is mandatory to send the configuration of all PCs to MKCL server. The first step of this process is to install Worm Server on Server machine (Dual core having at least 2 GB of RAM, 160 GB of HDD etc.) and Worm Client on client machines (PIV having at least 1 GB of RAM, 160 GB of HDD etc.). During this process, I face the following error when working with Worm Server.
The error message was,
“Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click quit, the application will close immediately.
Object error not set to an instance of an object"
Actually this error occurs due to improper installation of device driver or if you do not install device driver for any device. To get rid of this error simply install all the drivers for your PC or disable the device having no device driver. The first method is a complete solution and it is recommended method. Second method also work but it is partial solution for this problem. So It is totally up to you which method is best suitable for you.
Good luck !
