From my evaluation it still lacks some features of PowerISO, VirtualCD, and other proprietary software, but it is a great replacement if you just need to mount images.

I know all of you would love to know how to earn money online. There are actually many ways on how to earn money online and if you want it, i could share some of these to you guys. All of these are based on my own experiences that i have encounter for the past months. Just follow the steps below on how to start online money earning.

Procedure to be done:

1. Create a "Paypal Account" using a valid email account. Click the image below to register.

PayPal is the safer, easier way to pay and get paid online. The service allows anyone to pay in any way they prefer, including through credit cards, bank accounts, buyer credit or account balances, without sharing financial information.

2. In order to transfer the money you earn from Paypal you need to verify your account with you VISA certified bank account. For me, i use my "UnionBank Account" to verify my account. In order for you to have an overview of the paypal online banking i have attached a picture of my account..

3. When your "Paypal Account" is ready, you can now start earning money online. To earn money online you need to join website that offer payments for the services, projects or any task you have done for them.
There are many ways to earn money online. Here's a list:

1. Set up a Blog or Website for Profit
2. Learn about Affiliate Marketing and The Art of Selling
3. Start an Online Business
4. Try Out Domaining and the Online Real Estate Trade
5. Participate in Get-Paid-to Websites
6. Find a Virtual Job or Make Use of Your Expertise
7. Freelance and Work on a Contract Basis Online
8. Create Your Own Product and Sell it
9. Get Involved in the Online Retail Trade

4. For me, because I'm still a newbie to online money earning. I focus more on number 5 (which is great for beginners), number 1(still on its developing stage) and number 7(case to case basis). For us beginners, i think will focus more on number 5 = "Participate in Get-Paid-to Websites"

5. Participate in Get-Paid-to Websites

There are hundreds of websites out there which you pay you to read emails, do surveys, sign up for trial subscriptions and surf the web. Websites that pay you to complete offers are worth examining because they usually include affiliate programs with recurring commissions to be earned.

The benefit of get paid to websites is that you don’t need to have your own website or any personal skills at all. The downside is that there are a lot of get-paid-to scams around and finding websites that are legitimate can be fairly difficult. Scam.com is a forum you should visit to learn if the get-paid-to website you’re interested in actually pays its members.

There are also several Web 2.0 or social media websites out there that will pay you to participate in their community. This collection of social media websites usually operate via a revenue-sharing system, which allows you to earn a share of the overall ad revenue. How much you earn depends on how much your submitted article, video or image is viewed.

6. As what the statement above has says there is a disadvantage for this get-paid websites, because there are a lot of scams that offer the same services. The best to avoid this is to make sure that the website you are joining is a legitimate site that really pays. You can do this, by asking your friends or asking in forum sites about any information on the site.

7. Here are some sites which I can recommend to you and has paid me for the last few months.. feel free to check it out and register. All of these sites paid us by using using paypal account. Upon registration it will ask you about your paypal account:

ValueBux is Paid to Click Site. Registered users view those advertisements to earn money and work their way up to cash out.

helium.com
Helium is article writing site. You write articles, get published and be get paid...

8. Just take note, to earn more you need to be online always. Generally depends on the user on how active he/she online.

I will be emailing you some updates in the near future.

It seems that its algorithm/rainbow table is limited in free version and must pay for the additional feature.

So I asked my client if its okay for him not to retrieve his old password but just reset the administrator's password to blank. He answered yes then off I go and used Offline NT password & registry editor.

This great tool is derived from Linux and with its source code available from its website. I downloaded the ISO version and burn it to CD and did a cold boot after inserting Offline NT password & registry editor CD.

Resetting the user's password is easy enough you just need to follow the instructions then your done.

I tested this on windows XP and it worked great.

Hope you find this tool useful.

Searching for a solution, I thought that by having a software that will automatically shutdown my computer on a specified time will solve my problem. I came across to most proprietary software that cost so much and I don't have that much of a penny to pay for.

Going back to basic I then check if there is a command line program for windows that will shutdown the machine. Guess what? There is... "shutdown.exe". reading its manual lead to an experiment.

The program is located at c:\WINDOWS\system32\ what I did was to create a file from notepad named shutdown.bat containing this 1 line command "c:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe -c "Sleep!!! or you'll die!!" -f -s -t 00". Since notepad will automatically create the file extension to .txt we need to save the file like this. Click on File -> Save as -> change the Save as from *.txt to All files -> Then in File name type: shutdown.bat. This will save to a file with a .bat extension. Well, what do you know? The batch file can be executed by double clicking to it and then windows box can be shutdown without any questions asked.

The next thing is to schedule the manual shutdown. This can be done by going to control panel then click on Scheduled Tasks. Double click on Add Scheduled Task a wizard will pop-up and just follow the guided instruction and locate shudown.exe program and when asked on when to perform the task just select daily and choose the appropriate time that you need to execute the task. At the end of the wizard lets check "Open advanced properties when I click Finish". In the advance property, locate Run and specify this value "c:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe -c "Sleep!!! or you'll die!!" -f -s -t 00" and the value for Start in is "C:\WINDOWS\system32" also making sure that the schedule will run check on Enable. Poking around the tabs and changing the parameters to suite your needs. Done in checking and changing the parameter click on OK. That's it.

I am a bit happy now on my windows auto shutdown because I did not pay for additional software that cause much. I can now sleep early because all programs will exit without a prompt and windows will shutdown. The down side is that if the game is so intense and auto shutdown will run... Well you know the feeling...

Have a nice sleep everyone...]]> .
