Sometimes you might be in real hurry that you may not have time to wait until your computer shuts down. In that case what do you do??

Switch off power button??

Or unplug power cable??

No ... that’s not a good idea. Cuz it may damage any file or your hard disk.

So here's one best trick to turn off your computer without any damage

- Press CTRL+ALT+DEL key to open task manager.

- There you'll find Shut Down option.. Go to "Shut Down"

- Hold CTRL Key and click "Turn Off"

Your computer will turn off very fast as if you are turning off a light.

NTFS and FAT File System

Date: 16 Aug 2008/ Views: 162

FAT (File Allocation Table) and NTFS (New Technology File System) are two methods for storing data on a hard drive. The hard drive has to either be formatted using one or the other, or can be converted from one to the other (usually FAT to NTFS) using a system tool.

Differences Between FAT and NTFS

FAT 32

1) Fat 32 Allows access to win 95, 98, win millenium, win2k, xp on local partition.

2) Maximum size of partition is up to 2 TB.

3) Maximum File size is up to 4 GB.

4) File & folder Encryption is not possible.

NTFS

1) Allows access local to w2k, w2k3, XP, win NT4 with SP4 & later may get access for some file.

2) Maximum size of partition is more than 2 TB.

3) Maximum File size is up to 16TB.

4) File & folder Encryption is possible only in NTFS.

Converting FAT file system to NTFS

To convert a FAT partition to NTFS, perform the following steps.

- Click START > RUN > and type CMD (this will open your command prompt)

At the command prompt, type CONVERT [drive letter]: /FS: NTFS.

(Example: if you are converting drive C: type CONVERT C: /FS: NTFS and enter)

Your partition will be converted to NTFS.

How to enable task manager

Hi,

For Windows XP Home Edition use "The registry edit & For Windows XP Professional you still use the option I had suggested which is:

• Click Start
• Click Run
• Enter gpedit.msc in the Open box and click OK
• In the Group Policy settings window
o Select User Configuration
o Select Administrative Templates
o Select System
o Select Ctrl+Alt+Delete options
o Select Remove Task Manager
o Double-click the Remove Task Manager option

I hope this Info has helped you.
