HIDE PARTITION IN WINDOWS

Disk partitioning is about making a physical or logical hard disk usable by the operating system. Each disk partition can be used like a hard disk by the operating system. A hard disk can be made of several partitions.
A hidden partition is such a partition which cannot b visible from my computer. Hence nobody except the one ho created the partition wont know whats inside the partition....
This is a small to create such a hidden partition and to protect your sensational datas...






  • This trick is for all those people who want to hide tons of data into their box. So here it is, if you have very important data in your hard drive placed in some partition which you do not want anybody to access then this trick is only for you!










  • Just click on start>run type gpedit.msc, now navigate through user configuration> administrative templates > windows components> windows explorer, now double click on “Hide these specified drives in My Computer” modify it accordingly then just below you will find another option “Prevent access to drives from My Computer”, double click on this option and modify it accordingly.










  • To make it visible again select "disable" by double clicking on the “Hide these specified drives in My Computer” option.

    windows password loop hole...




    a. ok now, what you need to do is to run compmgmt.msc

    b. and click on local users and groups.

    c. once you've gotten here you need to open up the 'users' folder.


    at this point i am walking along with you and notice that there are several
    major security holes dealing specifically with the password:
    1. double clicking on the any user name allows you a list that looks
    something like this:
    "user name"

    full name: -----------------------
    |__________________|

    description: -----------------------
    |__________________|
    --
    |_| user must change password at next logon

    --
    |_| user cannot change password

    --
    |/| password never expires

    --
    |_| account is disabled

    --
    |_| account is locked out


    "ok" "cancel" "apply"

    ok if you can get past my cheesy drawing, i must ask, did you notice that
    the "password never expires" box is checked? if you did, then you may have
    realized that this means that you can also uncheck it!

    2. if ure paying attention, you'll see that the 'user must change password
    at next logon' box is unchecked. if you put a check in this box of course,
    when you shut down the system will prompt for a new password!

    3. going back to step c.,
    right click on any account and notice the dialoge that appears:
    set password...
    all tasks
    delete
    rename
    properties
    help

    i think you can handle it from here

    ps. i wonder if you can access this data if this stuff is locked to the user
    by the admin by going in through the command prompt. i doubt it but if anyone

    found pls let me know....


    Thanks for fainted brain who gave information on this for me
