As per experience and user reviews which I have read till now ,UAC (User Account Control) has been the most annoying feature which got bundled automatically with windows vista.
But some times there are cases when you may want UAC to enabled for one user but at the same time disabled for another user.
So , you can explicitly enable UAC for the specific user by following the procedure below.
This is little bit of windows hacking when you say you want to shutdown a remote computer on your LAN network, if you are doing it for FUN then its ok.

Now a days with the increasing use of portable drives various types of virus infect a large number of system very easily.
One of these common virus is "Hacked by Godzilla Virus" which normally spreads through portable drives etc.
My system got infected with this Hacked by Godzilla Virus and I repaired my system without the help of any antivirus software.
Lets first discuss the common symptoms of the Godzilla Virus.
If your system is infected by this virus you will see the this text "Hacked by Godzilla Virus" in the title at the top of the window of Internet explorer
Some other symptoms:
1. Task manager is disabled.
2. Regedit (Command for registry edit) is disabled.
3. Folder options got disappeared From windows explorer.
4. Double clicking on any of your system drive( c: ,d: etc) initiates a new instance of the virus.
So, you won’t be able to open any of your drive by double click rather you have to open then by right click >> explore.
5. msconfig command is disabled – this virus is not dependent on system startup but it disables the msconfig command used to modify the system startup programs.
Let’s see how you can remove Godzilla virus in 5 minutes.
If you have ever opened Task Manager you could have seen one of the process running all the time called cftmon.exe ,and even if you stop it or suspend the process it will get started again and again.
Even when you remove it from system startup by running msconfig command it will again kept running after the sytem restart.
What is actually ctfmon.exe ?
CTFMON.EXE is a file get installed with Office XP applications. It actually activates the Alternative User Input Text Input Processor and the Language Bar. The program monitors the active windows and provides text input service support for speech recognition, handwriting recognition, keyboard, translation, and other alternative user input technologies.
If you have seen a problem in windows when you plug your usb-data drive and after transfer all your data to or from your usb-thumb drive or any other portable drive.

So what to do in such a situation to safely remove the hardware device safely out of windows system ?
