Calculations on Command Prompt

The command processor CMD.EXE comes with a mini-calculator that can perform simple arithmetic on 32-bit signed integers:
C:\>set /a 2+2
4
C:\>set /a 2*(9/2)
8
C:\>set /a (2*9)/2
9
Note that we had to quote the shift operator since it would otherwise be misinterpreted as a "redirect stdout and append" operator.
For more information, type set /? at the command prompt.

Folder Lock With Password Without Any Software

1. Paste the code given below in notepad and 'Save' it as batch file (with extension '.bat'). Any name will do.
if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK
if NOT EXIST Locker goto MDLOCKER
:CONFIRM
echo Are you sure u want to Lock the folder(Y/N)
set/p "cho=>"
if %cho%==Y goto LOCK
if %cho%==y goto LOCK
if %cho%==n goto END
if %cho%==N goto END
echo Invalid choice.
goto CONFIRM
:LOCK
ren Locker "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
attrib +h +s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
echo Folder locked
goto End
:UNLOCK
echo Enter password to Unlock folder
set/p "pass=>"
if NOT %pass%==type your password here goto FAIL
attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" Locker
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password
goto end
:MDLOCKER
md Locker
echo Locker created successfully
goto End
:End

2. Then you see a batch file. Double click on this batch file to create a folder locker. New folder named 'Locker' would be formed at the same location.
3. Now bring all the files you want to hide in the 'Locker' folder.
4. Double click on the batch file to lock the folder namely 'Locker'.
5. If you want to unlock your files,double click the batch file again and you would be prompted for password.
Enter the password and enjoy access to the folder.

Here Comes India's First Web browser

Hidden Reflex, an Indian start-up with a bunch of people, has rolled out the first Web browser for India. Based on the open source Mozilla platform, the new Web browser 'Epic' comes with a host of features and boasts to offer ease of use.

India is the primary focus of the browser; its India sidebar supports Indian content by providing users access to the latest national and regional news from popular publications, live television channels, videos, stock quotes, live cricket scores, top music albums and local events. It currently supports 12 Indian languages.

To allow you to browse safely over the Web and keep all threats at bay, it comes with an in-built anti-virus solution. It warns you as and when you browse a website loaded with viruses and spywares.

Epic is claimed to be the first browser to include a suite of productivity applications including a free word processor, video sidebar (picture-in-picture functionality), communication apps like Facebook and Twitter, My Computer file browser, and 1500+ free, user-installable sidebar apps in the Epic Apps Store.

The company mentions on its website: "Hidden Reflex began as a team of three but soon progressed and now has dedicated teams working on two products simultaneously – the Epic Browser and NewsDrink. The company also has three patents pending related to its product innovations."
