DO NOT Computer Tip List
Poor advice
spreads as easily as good advice, and sometimes untrained instincts can lead
you down the wrong circuit when it comes to a computer. So here is a DO
NOT computer tip list: things you should avoid doing that could harm your
machine.
Ø
DO NOT defragment- your
hard drive too often. Do it only if you are deleting a lot of files that
are large, like photos. Defragging too much creates unnecessary stress on
the hard drive and can do more harm than good; it reduces the life of the hard
drive. If you aren’t deleting lots of files, defragging once every one or
two months is sufficient. (Defragmenting: When you delete a lot of files,
it leaves data gaps in the hard drive. This process removes those gaps so that
your data can be accessed more easily and quickly.)
Ø
DO NOT install Windows hardware
updates. You DO NOT need the latest and greatest updates, contrary to
what you may have heard from others. Windows security updates are good;
but hardware updates often cause more problems than they solve. Install
them at your own risk, as many cases of improperly installed updates have
caused computer corruption.
Ø
DO NOT click randomly and
quickly in continued succession if your computer is not responding—like
opening up a program or page online. Most times, the computer is doing
something in the background (something of which you are unaware or don’t see
visually). Let the computer do its thing. Clicking rapidly will not
help it load any faster, and might, in fact, confuse the computer, causing it
to freeze up or crash. Practice patience, and failing that, use CTRL +
ALT + DEL for a force quit option.
Ø
DO NOT open attachments from
someone you don’t know or that seem suspicious. Viruses can be spread
by e-mail, but only if one opens the included attachment or the web link.
You won’t get the virus if you open the e-mail alone, but you very well could
if you open the attachment or click a link in the e-mail. If the subject
line of the e-mail is the supposed sender’s name, but all that appears in the
body is a web link or attachment, mark it as spam and delete.
Ø
DO NOT leave your computer
connected to the Internet if you believe you’ve contracted a virus.
This also applies for programs on your computer that use the Internet, like
e-mail, music players, or chat programs. They may not work anyway, but
the longer your computer maintains an online connection, the more a virus can
infiltrate the machine. Unplug your Ethernet cord, turn off the Wi-Fi,
and/or shut off the computer completely.
And the final, ABSOLUTELY-DO-NOT-super-bonus:
Ø
DO NOT install more than one
antivirus program. Most people wonder how in the world they
contracted a computer virus; doubly so if they run TWO antivirus programs, but
that’s probably where the problem lies. If you have Norton, you don’t
need McAfee, or vice versa. Two can cancel each other out. Pick the
one you like best and stick with it!
Abiding by these DO NOT tips could help you avoid making common mistakes
that put your computer at risk. We want our customers to have a more
satisfying, and certainly less frustrating, time working with their computers.

Create Wifi Hotspot on Windows 7 / Windows 8 Laptop Without Using any Software
1. Open the Command prompt
as Administrator (Right click and select Run as administrator).You
can also open it by pressing Window Key + X and choosing Command
Prompt (Admin).
2. Type the following command in the command prompt and press
Enter.
"netsh wlan set
hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=satyamsrig
key=password"
Here ssid is the name
of your hotspot and key is password of your hotspot.Choose both of
these according to you.
3. Next,type the following command and hit enter.
3. Next,type the following command and hit enter.
"netsh wlan
start hostednetwork"
You will get a message
like The hosted network started.
4. Now go to Network and Sharing
center and You can see your newly created wifi hotspot connection. But, as
you can see, it has no network access. We need to fix this by enabling sharing
of internet connection for your working Internet connection .In my case, it is
wifi connection, but it can be Ethernet or any other working internet
connection.
5. To enable sharing, Click on
your default Internet connection and select Properties. Under
the Sharing tab, tick the box saying – Allow other network users
to connect through this computer’s Internet connection. Under the Home
networking Connection, select the connection which is showing as your hotspot
connection.
6. Your Wifi hotspot is created
and Internet sharing is enabled. You can check in the Network
and Sharing center that your wifi hotspot now has Internet Access.
7. Now Connect any wifi enabled device to
this hotspot using the password you choose while typing the command.
8. In order to stop the Wifi hotspot, Just
type the following command in the command prompt(as Administrator).
"netsh wlan stop hostednetwork"
It might come to
your mind that remembering these commands is not easy. Also typing them again
is tedious task. This also has a solution.
1. Write both the commands in notepad.
2. Select Save As and save the
file as Batch type. Name the file anything you want but make its
extension .bat .Also select All Files in Save as Type.
Save it on the desktop.
3. Your batch file is created. Now
whenever you need to start hotspot, just run this file with
admin privileges.
4. Similar way, you can create a batch file to stop the
hotspot.
This tutorial
might feels you long because I explained in quite detail. However, It will not
take more than two minutes to create wifi hotspot using this method.
