    The one with the old username and the other with the new user name
    Also I can not any connection any longer in my pc with the old username because the administrator has also changed the domain name.

  • How can I prevent files are deleted from others?

    I have a Mac computer that is used in public, but I'm trying to secure a file to prevent others to remove it. And, if possible, I don't want anyone to open the files. I looked online for solutions; I looked on that you are supposed to put a password on it with a .dmg file using disk utility. I don't want to create a .dmg file, I want the folder itself must be blocked because it is used by other applications. How can I do?

    Hi, a useful recommendation is to make all of these invisible files, for that you will need to use the Terminal.

    Here are the instructions:

    Launch Terminal from/applications/utilities/and use the following command syntax:

    chflags nohidden /path/to/hide/file.txt

    If you know the path to the file just type yourself. If you do not, follow it drag & drop methodto automatically enter the full path in the Terminal, just be sure to file in after the original order and then press the return key:

    chflags hidden [DRAG FILE HERE]

    This will hide your folders or files.

    To view these files do:

    At any time you can view the file with the following chflags command:

    chflags nohidden /path/to/hide/file.txt

    This means that after the stop at using the computer enter these commands on the terminal and hide them. The user after that you won't be able to see them (unless he knows how to view the files, but in this case, it must be specifically looking for your files). And when you return simply enter the command to the unhide them.

    If there is a lot of files trying to group them all on a folder, and this folder hiding, which will automatically hide all content

  • How can I change of wireless internet cable?

    I have a low wireless signal.  Has run a CAT5 cable from the computer to the router's Lan port.

    I thought that this direct connection could prevail over the wireless signal and provide better performance.

    When the computer is started it always connects via the wireless network.

    Desktop or laptop computer?

    If its a laptop just disable the wireless hardware. Most portable computers have a hardware switch on the top or side of the case. He may also use a combination of switches function as for example. Check the manual of the user or the factory web site for help.

    On a desktop PC open network and sharing Center , click change settings card left. Highlight the adapter without wire then right click and either select disable or select disable this network device at the top of the window.

    Original title: password

    Please, tell me how can I protect a file with password, folder, a CD, or a DVD. Is there a suitable and reliable and verified software? Please, give me web comments on sites where to find necessary software. I need in order if my CD or DVD discs will be stolen by a stranger or to reach people I did not trust. I need only for private use. You see, I don't have an iron safely to the place I live. I hope that you will understand me. Thank you in advance. John

    Hello, Tommy Stanley. I realized from your questions that you can imagine that I will earn money selling the CD protected by word or DVD discs telling buyers the password. No, I'm not a sales man. Only for me on the extreme case, that my disks will be stolen or to reach people, I do not trust. I guess that to set a password that is easier then encrypt disks. But I wonder to know how to encrypt CD or DVD discs and that means encrypted drive. Through what she may be to read? Please, I explain my situation (I live in time with people that I don't have confidence). Please, give me some reliable advice concerning my question. Now, for me it very seriously. I hope you understood me. Thank you in advance, Shenan Stanley.

    I think you read things in my simple questions that weren't there.  I asked because if it is stored on a single computer/use on one computer by one person - the solutions are simpler and more readily available than if you plan to send this information to someone else so that they treat.

    I recommend you read this:
    http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000705.htm

    If this isn't a shared computer... (It is yours, you can use only.)

    I suggest that you see if you can lock the computer closed (with a physical cable/lock).  You add a password to your system SETUP or BIOS so that no one can change the settings of operating system and maybe even a STARTUP password so it can not even start without enter you a password.  Also change the BIOS settings so that it will only start from the hard drive installed in the machine.  With the Setup/BIOS password, you can change back to something later.

    AxCrypt and TrueCrypt are free and good encryption tools.

    Regarding the CD/DVD - you don't encrypt the media - you encrypt everything you would write for them and you will probably need to copy off the power and check that the files on them are not read-only before you can decrypt in most cases.

    By the way - physical security outweighs almost all other types of security.  Which means you need to physically secure the computer before you bothder same thing with another.  Locking the computer case closed and adding the password after changing startup opportunities, I would consider good physical security in your case.

  • How can I speed up my internet connection?

    How can I speed up my internet connection?

    Hi vatsrajiv,

    If you have problems with your internet connection speed you better communicate with your suppliers of Internet services (ISP) technical support team. Internet high speed is governed by many factors, including your distance from your PBX and the time of day, you use the internet. If you're more than a mile from your phone (I think) Exchange and then speed will be reduced due to degradation of the signal. Yet here in the United Kingdom, resulting speeds are advertised as 8 MB and above (up to 20 or more in some areas), however, in reality, you are lucky to get an average speed of 2.5 to 4 MB on an 8 MB line.

    Another factor is the time of day you access internet. Peak your ISP is likely to "cap" of the connection speed. In other words, more people using your lower ISP connection speed system. Another factor is whether a "router" is declining in some parts of the world where your ISP traffic fell through. Also, this may cause more slow responses of the web pages. Yesterday, I visited a webpage which, under normal conditions, takes about 15 seconds to load. On this occasion, it took more than 70 seconds to load.

    You also don't say if you are using broadband or dial-up connection services. While we always assume that everyone has broadband is not always the case. Remote connections are still alive and well in many parts of the countryside, especially those. A dial is notoriously slow compared to broadband by default.

    You can check your ISP website and check their "State of the line" to see if they have problems. If all goes well, it might be useful to contact your ISP and get them to check your phone line, just in case where there is a problem with your telephone line or even your router if you are on broadband.
