Password Protect Folders in XP
There are two ways to password protect a folder built into Windows XP (for other Windows flavors, there are some freeware/shareware programs out there).

Method 1:- If you have a log in password for your account, this can be used to protect folders from other users. Your hard drive must be formatted using NTFS (which it probably is unless you're dual booting with another operating system). Here's what to do...

Right-click the folder that you want to make private and choose "Properties" (or Alt+Double-click). Go to the "Sharing" tab and check the "Make this folder private" box.



Click Apply . If you do not have a password on your account, a box will pop up asking if you want to assign a password. This must be done if you want to make the folder private, so click Yes . You will need to use your password to log on to your computer from then on.

Type in a password then confirm it. Click the "Create Password" button then close the Password window.

Click OK in the Properties dialog box.

Now anyone else logged on to your computer can't access that file without knowing your password.

Method 2:- If the Folder is Zipped you can give it a unique password.

Just double-click the zipped folder. In the top menu select File then click "Add a Password".



Type a password into the Password box. Then again in the "Confirm Password" box.



Now, you are the only person who can access files in this folder. The folder can be opened allowing the files to be seen, but you are the only one who can access them.

How to Do Gandhigiri

originated by:Rituraj Upadhyay

Gandhigiri is an relatively new term in India which is used to express the tenets of Gandhism (the ideals of Mahatma Gandhi which include Satyagraha, non-violence, and truth) in contemporary terms. The term became popular again due to its usage in the 2006 Hindi film, Lage Raho Munna Bhai.

Steps

1. 1
   Treat everyone equally . For example: At a recent party a driver wanted to give the keys of a car to his Boss. He was not allowed in because there was no room for drivers inside the party. So a fellow guest lost his cool and said this is no way to treat a fellow human being in the land where Gandhi was born. No matter what we must treat everyone equally because we all are human.

   
   

   "In the Light of Truth"

   'The Grail Message'. Wisdom is Found Only in Truth...
   
2. 2
   Give a rose. For example: Suppose if your government has made unfair policies you can send a rose and ask everyone to send one rose to the government. A simple act of love can change the opinion of anyone you have to show you can do whatever you want but your are not well and we will cure we will strike with a healing sword.
3. 3
   Make the person feel guilty by just truth in public
4. 4
   Satyagraha. If there is anything wrong or unfair happening, research on the types of satyagrahaand do the one that apply' to you.
5. 5
   Do not cooperate stay firm at your point . Whatever happens stick with the truth.

Tips

• Be patient, because that's the key.
• Stay with the truth.

Warnings

• Not for weak minded people.

How to Play the Flute

The flute is a great instrument, and many people enjoy playing it. While this short guide will assist you with the basics, actual instruction is the best way to learn.

Steps

1. 1
   Buy or rent a flute from a music store. When first starting to play an instrument, you should consider renting to be certain that you enjoy it enough to purchase. Also, beginners should get a closed-hole student flute. Expensive, professional, open-holed flutes are for more experienced and careful players.

   
   
2. 2
   Consider paying for lessons from a good private flute teacher. Ask your band director or a music shop employee about it (towards the beginning of the school year, if you are in school). This resource will be very useful as you learn to play.
3. 3
   Assemble the flute. Insert the open end of the head joint into the wider end of the body (usually closest to the printed brand name of the instrument). Align the embouchure hole with the first key on the body. Take the foot joint from the case and connect it to the other end of the body. Align the main rod of the foot joint with the last key of the body. Adjust the alignment if needed.
   
   
   
4. 4
   
   Practice on a bottle to learn how to blow into a flute. Glass or plastic works equally well. Blow across the opening to produce a sound. An easy way to learn the flute embouchure is by making an mmm sound, and then a p sound while pursing your lips. However, when playing the flute, you should be making more of a "too" sound. You should also be blowing slightly downward in order to make a note. The less liquid in the bottle the lower the pitch and the more liquid the higher the pitch. This blowing technique is the proper way to ease notes from a flute.
5. 5
   
   Try to produce a sound from your flute. Try with the head joint only, at first. Place the lip plate just below your lower lip, purse your lips, take a deep breath, and blow as if you were saying "tooo". It will not happen straight away so be patient. Try moving your embouchure hole around. Practice in front of a mirror and look at the shape of your lips. Your embouchure should be about the size of a drinking straw and shaped like a circle or teardrop.
   
   Here's a neat way to work on producing sound:
   1. Press your lips together. Roll the lips inward, so that there is no pink showing.
   2. Kiss your flute--place the embouchure hole completely against your pressed lips, so that you can feel the full circle around your mouth.
   3. Roll the flute away from your lips approximately 90 degrees, so that the embouchure hole is now level with the ceiling.
   4. Pretend to spit out a watermelon seed! This may assist you in finding a good embouchure shape. If you achieve a sound using this method, try adding a stream of air after your initial "spit".
6. 6
   
   Learn how to hold the flute. Hold the flute with the your mouth on the lip plate and the remainder of the instrument pointing to the right. Your left hand should be nearest the mouthpiece and should be facing towards you from the other side of the flute. Your left thumb should rest on a key. Your right hand should be further down on the flute to the right and should be facing away from you. There is no key for your right thumb. Balance your flute with your thumbs.
7. 7
   

   This is bad posture; when the flute is held this low it affects tone and breathing.
   Have proper posture while playing. Sit or stand up straight and hold the flute a little below parallel. Your arms should feel relaxed, but they may ache after extended playing. Crossing your legs will often affect your tone if you allow you posture to collapse as well. Instead bend a little in the knees to not overstretch them. Keep your head up to allow the air passing through the air channel.
8. 8
   Consult a fingering chart. Many instruction books will have one. The fingering chart will guide you through each note. Try any alternate fingerings. When playing the flute it should not sound like you're just blowing or whistling--it should be a full, steady tone.
9. 9
   Warm up before playing. Octave slurs (slurring from the octave below to the octave above and vice versa) are good for flutes. Play a chromatic scale to make sure your flute is functioning properly.
10. 10
    

    An electronic tuner is a handy accessory for flute players.
    Tune before you play, but after you warm up. Tune to a concert A.^[1] If the tuner says you are sharp (moves to the right), pull out the head joint. If you are flat (tuner will move to the left), push in the head joint. Try tuning to the low and high A. Take into account that cold temperatures will cause an instrument to go flat, and warm temperatures will cause it to be sharp. This is especially important if you are playing in an ensemble.
11. 11
    Clean your flute thoroughly after playing. Use a swab or a cloth strung through your tuning rod to remove condensation and spit from the inside of your flute. Occasionally polish it with a cloth.
12. 12
    Take your flute apart and put it away in the case. Twist off the head joint, body, and foot joint gently and put them in the case. Latch the case closed and put it in a safe place, preferably where it will stay at a steady room temperature.
