Zip Password Finder
Sometimes even the smartest folks do dumb things. As an example, let us take a guy who makes a .zip file of his family photos for backup purposes. Now let us say that same guy put a password on that .zip file so that nobody else could open it but him. Sounds pretty dumb already, [...]
FileFactory
File hosting is one of those hurdles that most of us have to confront from time to time. You could just purchase a hosting plan to resolve the issue, but not everyone is willing to give up some cash in exchange for hosting. We love freebies, and that’s why so many free ad-supported services have [...]
Hit Counters, Chapter 2
Some time ago I did a short article on counters, and recommended amazingcounters.com as one that I’d used personally. Jimmy wrote to tell me about Statcounter.com, which he considers superior. I duly noted that in a followup, commenting that I hadn’t tried it. Well, now I have, and I’m impressed. During the last several days, [...]
Create A New Remote Access Policy In Server 2003
Creating a new remote access policy does not need to be a difficult task. First of all, Windows Server 2003 includes a wizard that will walk you through the entire process. Second, if you know the settings you want to use in the policy ahead of time, the actual process of creating a policy is [...]
Reset The IP Protocol Stack
TCP/IP is considered to be a core component of Windows XP. Therefore, you may notice the option to uninstall the protocol is not available (see figure 2). However, there might be extreme cases where the only option you have to resolve an issue is to uninstall the protocol stack.
Internet Connection Sharing & Non-Windows XP Clients
So you are sharing an Internet connection between multiple computers.

The process is slightly different if you have workstations running pre-Windows XP platforms. When you use the Network Setup Wizard to enable ICS on [...]
Map A Network Drive From The Toolbar
If you find yourself using the map drive feature on a regular basis, you may want to add this as an option to your toolbar making it slightly easier to perform the task. To do so, open My Computer, right click the Toolbar, and click Customize (of course, make sure that your Toolbar is not [...]
Searching the Web with gada.be
As you likely already caught with the announcement earlier this evening, we officially unveiled our Web search service today. For several weeks now, you’ve undoubtedly witnessed links from the site gada.be – these placements within Lockergnome’s universe were quite intentional. Normally, if I were to pick out keywords for a particular article, you’d have them [...]
RecentX
On any given day, all of us go through an abundance of information on our computers. That fact may not be evident right off the bat, but if you think back on a normal day of activity on the computer, I’m willing to assume that you probably can’t remember every single thing that you did. [...]
TrekEarth
When you’re stuck in one location for long enough, you begin to only think in terms of what’s around you, and you tend forget about the big picture on a global scale. This planet is huge, and there’s a lot more to see than that convenience store that’s just down the street from where you [...]
