How do you lock of folder in laptop?
There are numerous ways to lock a folder and it's files. One method, which you can use easily with someone who is not familiar with the method, is the following:
1. Open a directory, such as the C: Drive.
2. Right-Click and goto "New," "Folder."
3. Name the folder - preferably only one word.
4. Open "Notepad" and paste the following: w
ren Will Will.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}
(Note: Change "Will" to whatever the folder is named.)
5. Save it as "loc.bat" with quotations inside of the same directory, but not in the folder. Such as C:
6.Open "Notepad" again and paste the following:
ren Will.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} Will
(Note: Rename "Will" to the name of the folder.
7. Save it as "key.bat" in the same directory as the "loc.bat" and the folder, but not in the folder.
8. To secure the contents of the folder, double click on the "loc.bat" file. It may take a few seconds, but the folder you first created should change it's icon to an icon like the Control Panel and, if you click on the actual folder, the folder should contain the same thing as the Control Panel.
9. To unsecure the files, and open it regularly, double click on the "key.bat" file. You may again need to wait a few seconds, but the icon should have changed back to the regular icon and the files should be viewable inside.
(Note: This works on Windows Operating System(s) only.)
Another method, which is even more secure, and could probably pass even those who know the method is here:
1. Goto "Start," "Run," and type, without quotes, "cmd"
(Note: You need to already have a file and folder created. You can do so by going to a directory, such as C: and goto "New," and "Folder," or "Text Document.")
2. Type in the following:
CD C:\Test
(Note: Replace "Test" with the name of the folder you created.)
3. Type the following, but replace the word "filename" with the name of the text document you created:
attrib filename +s +h
4. To display the file or folder type the following command, or course replacing the word "filename" with the name of the file.
attrib filename -s -h
5. To hide a folder - in C: - , while in command prompt, type the following:
CD C:\
6. Then type the following, replacing "Test" with the name of the folder:
attrib Test +s +h

What command is used to test network connectivity between two hosts?
PING
The "ping" command does. It sends out an ICMP echo request message and waits for a reply. However, network administrators sometimes block the ICMP protocol. In that case, accessing a service on the remote computer (e.g. opening a Web page on a Web server) would do if the service is currently available and is not blocked.
Testing connectivity between computers highly relies on networking protocols they use. Assuming it's TCP/IP (as the most widespread communication protocol used nowadays), the command to test reachability is 'ping'. To use it, you have to know IP address (which consists of 4 groups of digits separated with dots, like 10.4.199.15) or a hostname (like, remote.my.domain) of the remote computer. Launch shell interpteter and issue one the following:
ping 10.5.199.15
ping other.my.domain
depending on information on a remote device available to you.
After issuing one of these commands, expect to see at least one of the following:
ping: unknown host reemote.my.domain
(in case you've mistyped a hostname)
PING 10.6.199.15 (10.6.199.15) 56(84) bytes of data.
^C
--- 10.6.199.15 ping statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 7012ms
(in case you've mistyped its IP address or there's some software installed blocking incoming pings)
PING remote.my.domain (10.5.199.15) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from remote.my.domain: icmp_seq=2 ttl=254 time=0.727 ms
64 bytes from remote.my.domain: icmp_seq=2 ttl=254 time=0.727 ms
64 bytes from remote.my.domain: icmp_seq=2 ttl=254 time=0.727 ms
^C
--- remote.my.domain ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 1003ms
(in case the link between two systems is functioning properly)
Where may a person download a copy of Microsoft Windows XP?
Although you may illegally download a copy of Windows XP on the web, it would be rendered useless as any download of the software would render itself useless. Windows XP requires a product key for full functionality, keys that are only obtained through legal purchase of the OS.
Where can one download themes for Windows XP?
First thing you need to do is Disable your UAC. Type 'msconfig' into your 'start search' bar. Open up the 'Tools' tab and scroll down to 'Disable UAC'. Highlight it and then click 'Launch'. (requires reboot)
This will now allow you to change anything on your Vista Operating system without OS informing you don't have Admin privileges.
Secondly, you need to patch your system. You can either use Tune Up Utilities or patch it manually. I found that VistaGlazz has not been updated to work for SP1 yet. Below are the links for patching.
For SP1 - http://www.winmatrix.com/forums/index.php?/topic/16977-patched-uxtheme-files-for-windows-vista-sp1/
For SP2 - http://www.winmatrix.com/forums/index.php?/topic/24589-patched-uxtheme-files-for-windows-vista-sp2/
Make sure you know which Service Package you are running on.
If you don't know, Control Panel -> System and Maintenance -> System.
Your Service Package version should be at the top.
The information for patching your files is on the above links so I'll leave you to that.
Now, almost all theme folders you can download are different and require you to replace different folders, so the one I will be using to demonstrate is called 'The Emerald Forest by Dynacord'.
If you want the link for it to follow along with the steps I take to install it then here it is. (Note, it IS a pretty awesome theme.)

Note: You will need WinRAR to download and extract this.

Alrighty, we'll do this step-by-step. The first folder you will notice is 'browseui instructions'.
Now this guy is truly amazing and remembers what it was like when he didn't know how to install themes so he's given you little 'read me' instructions.
Now, he explains it brilliantly and it should be very easy to understand, but if your installing a different theme I'll recite it for you anyways.
NOTE- BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL HERE. If you do not follow the instructions EXACTLY your computer may become unusable and will require a System Recovery.
Take ownership of C:/Windows/System32/Browseui.dll
Right Click Browseui.dll
Go into properties...
Tab into security...
Click Advanced
Tab into Owner
Click Edit
Highlight your account and apply, click yes when prompted...
Exit out of properties altogether
Right Click Browseui.dll again
Go into properties...
Tab into security...
Click edit
Highlight your account, Click allow full control and apply, click yes when prompted...
Now you have to replace old with new
In order to do this,
You must rename the old Browseui.dll as Browseui.old.dll and drag the new Browseui.dll in c/Windows/System32.
Presto! Enjoy!
Alrighty, we've done the first file, two more to go. Just copy the same instructions above with the other two files.
Once you've finished that, only one thing left for us to do.
Open up C:\Windows\Resources\Themes and drag the 'The Emerald Forest' folder into it.
I recommend a restart at this point.
Once back on, right-click on your desktop, select Personalize, then Theme and apply The Emerald Forest.
Wallah!
Theme installed.
Very much hope that I helped. If you have any inquires or questions don't hesitate to ask. Just leave me a note on my message board or chuck me an email at Intervention_@live.com
Peace,

What will a right click on the desktop do?
It brings up a variety of options, some for a new text document of some sort. There would also likely be a 'refresh' option for the desktop. Depending on the system in question, there may be other options available, such as 'graphic properties', etc.

How do you create a file in a folder?
You can't turn a folder into a file. You can, however, make a folder look like a file by changing its icon (for instance, to the icon for a text document or Excel spreadsheet). You could also delete or move a folder and make a file with the same name, which might make it look like it had been turned into a file.
