What you do when you want to test new fonts for your website.normally you open Microsoft word document and try on that .Correct ? Now onwards you don't need to do testing like that . You can simply drag and drop on Font dragr and test .What is it?
"Font dragr is an experimental web app that uses HTML5 & CSS3 to create a useful standalone web based application for testing custom fonts, once you visit it for the first time you don’t need to be online to use it after the initial visit. It allows you, in Firefox 3.6+, to drag and drop font files from your file system into the drop area. The browser will then create a data URL encoded copy to use in the page and render the content in the dropped font."

Permanently Delete Windows Files

2009-10-07T06:38:00.000-07:00

Microsoft says "when you delete a file in Windows, even bypassing the Recycle Bin, the data isn't removed from disk.
Instead, the file's entry in the Master File Table is marked as deleted and its clusters are freed up to store new data. That process is efficient from a disk-management point of view. But it can leave deleted files vulnerable: Unless new data wipes out all of a deleted file's clusters, that file can still be recovered. The only way to ensure that a file can't be revived is to securely overwrite all its data. One way to achieve that is by using Microsoft's free utility SDelete."How to install sdelete?

Download sdelete from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897443.aspx and extract that file.

Copy sdelete.exe into your c:\windows\system32 location

Now open your command prompt and type sdelete and click enter.

It will show you what are the options that you can use with sdelete.

"sdelete [-p passes] [-s] [-q]
sdelete [-p passes] [-z|-c] [drive letter]
-c - Zero free space (good for virtual disk optimization) [Note: This option wipes free spaces with zero values.]
-p passes - Specifies the number of overwrite passes (default is 1)
-q - Don't print errors (Quiet)
-s - Recurse subdirectories [Note: The contents of all subdirectories are included in the deletion or disk wipe.]
-z - Cleans free space"

you can use below script from http://www.lifehacker.com to delete file permanently

@echo off
echo .* * *W A R N I N G * * *
echo .
echo .The File(s)/Folders(s) Will Be Permanently Deleted!
echo .
echo .Press CTRL-C to Abort and Terminate Batch Job Or...
echo .
pause
sdelete -p 4 -s %1

7 Tips and Tricks to Improve Your System Performance

2009-10-02T11:37:00.000-07:00

Optimize your system performance for peak performance. These 7 tips works in both window XP and Vista systems. But some of the options vary from version to version.
I have provided here along with both freeware and commercial tools and software's that we can use to boost system performance and to monitor system health check.Tip 1) Clean up disk errors once in a week:
Whenever a program crashes, or you experience some power outage, your computer may create errors on your computer's hard disk.This creates disk error in your disk and slows down your system.
There are 2 ways we can check disk errors. One is in read mode which we can not fix disk error and other one used for fixing disk error.

Read mode-->Go to command prompt( windows +r) .
Type cmd and enter.
Now type chkdsk. It will verify all files, indexes,security descriptors .But this will not fix your disk errors.It will show below messages when running.

"The type of the file system is NTFS.
Volume label is PC COE.

WARNING! F parameter not specified.
Running CHKDSK in read-only mode.

CHKDSK is verifying files (stage 1 of 3)...
File verification completed.
CHKDSK is verifying indexes (stage 2 of 3)...
Index verification completed.
CHKDSK is recovering lost files.
Recovering orphaned file D0001415.xml (228848) into directory file 169386.
CHKDSK is verifying security descriptors (stage 3 of 3)...
Security descriptor verification completed.
Correcting errors in the master file table's (MFT) BITMAP attribute.
Correcting errors in the Volume Bitmap.
Windows found problems with the file system.
Run CHKDSK with the /F (fix) option to correct these.

78140128 KB total disk space.
61629336 KB in 251695 files.
     98336 KB in 18022 indexes.
         0 KB in bad sectors.
    292540 KB in use by the system.
     17440 KB occupied by the log file.
16119916 KB available on disk.

      4096 bytes in each allocation unit.
19535032 total allocation units on disk.
   4029979 allocation units available on disk.
"

second methond:
   To enable checking disk error
   1.Go to Start menu, click My Computer.
   2.Select disk drive you want to check disk error ,right click on that drive and click Properties.
   3.In the Properties dialog box,Now click the Tools tab. In the Error-Checking section, press the Check Now button.
     A Check Disk dialog box displays, as shown below.

4.In the Check Disk dialog box, check all the check boxes. Click Start.

You will see a message box that says you can schedule the disk check to start the next time you restart your computer.
Click Yes. The next time you restart your computer, it will automatically run through a disk check before displaying your login screen.
After the disk check finishes, Windows will automatically bring you to your login screen.
Note: Check Disk can take more than an hour to check and clean errors on your computer.

We can automate this process weekly by using windows scheduler .

To automate disk error checking ,go to Start Menu-->Control Panel--->Scheduled Tasks-->Add schedular task.

A scheduled task wizard appears now.Click Browse,windows\system32\chkdsk.exe. Select chkdsk.exe and click Open, as shown in the below Figure.
It will ask you frequency of scheduling that you wish to check disk errors. weekly is recommended. click next.
Now,it will ask day and time you wish to run this job.Select a time you won't likely be using your computer.
clik next and it will ask you username and password that you use to log into your system.
click next and you get meesage like "you have scheduled a new task ..." . Click finish .

Tip 2) Remove temporary files once in a week: We can do this in two ways.

Go to Start Menu , Click All Programs-->accessories-->System Tools-->Disk CleanUp. Below screen appears .

It takes few minutes to analyze or compress old files.

After analyzing , Below screen will appear now.Check what are the files you wish to delete.

Make sure that you have selected temporary internet files,Temporary Files,Webclient/Publisher Temporary files,Temporary Offline files.
So that it deletes all temporary files.If you want to view files ,then select View files button .It will show all downloaded Program files
which are Active X controls that are going to be deleted.Now click ok button.
it will ask you 'Are you sure want to perform these actions'. Click Yes to Continue,No to stop.

Second method:
a)Go to Start menu, click My Computer.
b)In the My Computer dialog box, right-click on the drive you wish to check for errors (for most of us this will be the C: drive,
unless you have multiple drives on your computer), and click Properties.

c)In the Properties dialog box, click Disk Cleanup.

We can schedule disk cleanup regularly using windows schedular. To schedule this ,go to Start Menu

Control Panel--->Scheduled Tasks-->Add schedular task.

It will show schedular task wizard.click next .It will show list of applications .select disk cleanup from that list and click next.

Select a frequency for the Disk Cleanup to run.weekly is recommended and click next.
Select the best day and time of the week for the Disk Cleanup to run when you dont use your system and click next.

Give your username and password that you use to log into your system.
Congrats, You have scheduled disk clean up task.You get a message as shown in the below and click finish.
we can do cleaning of files using a software called hard drive power wash , a free software which can be used for cleaning disk files, internet files .

Tip 3) Rearrange your data once a month using De-fragmentation tool:
Windows breaks file side by side to increase speed access and retrieval.When you update a file,
windows saves these updates on the largest space available on the hard drive, often found far away from the other adjacent sectors of the file, results in fragmented file
and this will cause slow your system peformance.
Then how to defragment files? Windows provides Disk defragmentation program to rearrange all your files in proper and together .so that it improves system performance.

To start Disk Defragmentation, go to start menu-->My computer-->right click on the drive you wish to check( for example c:)-->go to properties
-->click tools tab-->click deframentaion button

in Deframent dialog box ,select drive which you have selected before and click analyze. Once analyze done ,it shows with red,blue,green lines.

Click defragment to start deframentation.

We can schedule deframentation also same as disk cleanup and disk error checking scheduling.
To schedule deframentation
go to start menu ,click control panel
double click scheduled tasks.
double click add scheduled tasks. Then , scheduled task wizard appears. click next.
Click Browse. Then, navigate to windows\system32\defrag.exe. Select defrag.exe and click Open.
now give frequency for defrag.exe to run monthly. click next.
select time and day you wish to run this task. select monthly time frame and define months and give day of the month .

select all months and pick a day ( select a day which you do not use system normally).
enter username and password and click next .
click finish .
congrats you have scheduled this task successfully.

There are commercial defragmentation tools like PerfectDisk which works better than windows deframentation tool.

You can create Embedscripts to schedule using more advanced options like "defrag.exe %Systemdrive% -a -v".Use a EventSentry's application scheduler feature to automate this task in three simple steps .Since the application scheduler
logs output from any command-line utility you run to the event log. we can get a mail when windows think drive is fragmented. for this , you need to create system
health package and add new application scheduler object to it.create a new event log package and a filter for event generation for finding string like
"You should defragment this volume*.

Note: Dont use deframentation softwares on SSD drives,which results in reducing of disk life span.

Tip 4) Remove Duplicate and unwanted files :

Some times you see a balloon message saying some thing like " your disk is full.remove unwanted files to get space". You dont know which file or directory is taking more space.
You needto manually check space utilized by each file . dont worry we can check at oen shot using Windirstat.

Windirstat provides graphical representation like tree map of space usage on your disk.
after running windirstat ,Identify the files which are taking more space and if you are not using those file , delete or compress or move which ever you wish to do,do that.check temporary files,pagefile,iislog file,NT backup files, temporary installer MSI files to get space.

Some times windows cache and save installer files on C drive. To delete these orphaned files ,use utility tool from microsoft called msizap.exe .
Download msizap from microsoft from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=6A35AC14-2626-4846-BB51-DDCE49D6FFB6&displaylang=en.
once you installed msizap ,go to command prompt type "msizap G". After removing all orphaned files .Do a deframentation to increase your system performace.

To find duplicate files in your system , use softwares like Duplicate Cleaner , Fast Duplicate File Finder,Dupinator — detect and delete duplicate files,Easy Duplicate Finder,Auslogics Duplicate File Finder,Duplicate Files Searcher,DoubleKiller and keep one copy of file , remove other copies.
