Files Became Shortcut in Removable Drive - Recovery Method

Have this kind of things happened to you? Your precious files in your pendrive or external hard drive suddenly became shortcuts? I got the same problem 2 years ago. WHAT THE HECK!!! THIS MUST BE SOME KIND OF JOKE RIGHT?! It is kind of frustrating to have all of your assignments, notes and other important data lost just like that right? Well at that time I can't find a solution to this matter yet but I know that the files are still there except that they are actually hidden as system files as my friend told me so. So if you untick the "Hide protected operating system files" box in "folder and search option", you can see all of the files in grey colour.


But that's 2 years ago story. Last year my senior buddy gave me a .bat file which can recover all the files - That's what he says but I haven't got the chance to try it until the next semester. During that time, one of my precious group assignment projects was infected by this Idon'tknowIfItIsAVirusOrWormButItMakesMyFilesHidden thing again. Hence, I tried the .bat file that my friend game me earlier and it works like a charm.

Remove Files Immediately when Deleted

Hello again ladies and gentlemen. Today I want to show you guys a simple trick. Some of you might even know it already though. For those who didn't know, let me present you a way to keep your recycle bin out of work. XD.

Before we continue, you might ask me something like "What the hell ryzz, do we need to know this trick?" or "What is so important about this, huh?" Hmph, It depends on you. If you are getting tired of deleting file(s) in the recycle bin manually and you want the file(s) that you just deleted to be gone immediately without ever going to the recycle bin, then this trick is for you. Also, please keep in mind that this is for educational purpose only ok.

Back to the topic. This trick is quite simple actually. You don't even need a software to do this. It is because you just need to change the setting. But beware, this is quite risky. What I mean by that is you know... when you set to remove the files immediately, you won't get the second chance to recover the file(s) again in case you changed your mind not to remove the file(s). Hence, please do it at your own risk. So how do we do that? Easy, just follow these steps:

Windows 7: Solve Rundll32 Problem when Playing Certain Games!

Hi Guys! First "Tips OR Trix" tip/trick has arrived! lol!

          Hmph, rundll32 is a joke! It is because everytime I tried to open/run certain games like Warcraft III, it will pop up in the Task Manager instead of the game itself. It means that I need to run the game once again. What a joke. Well, If it doesn't affect the cpu process, it doesn't really matter. But unfortunately it does affect the cpu. It takes half of the cpu performance which may contribute to lagging when playing games. Getting tired of this, I conducted a research on how to disable it. Luckily, I managed to find a trick/technique to stop it from appearing in the Task Manager EVER EVER again! LOL!
