Now just try to format your Micro SD Card or USB drive you won’t be seeing any write protection popup error. This should fix and remove write protection from micro sd card now and you’ll be able to format your sd card or pendrive.

 

 1 : Memory Card or USB Drive Disable

1. Look for a switch on the side. Most memory cards and some USB drives have a tiny switch or tab that can be toggled in two positions. If you find one, move it to the position labeled "Unlock." If it isn't labeled, this is the position closest to the front of the card. Be careful not to jostle the switch when you put your device back into the computer. If your device does not have a switch, move on to the next step.
   

   • If you are using a card adapter, there may be a second switch on the adapter itself.
   • Some built-in MacBook Pro card reader slots will sometimes shove the switch as you insert it. Try moving the memory card switch halfway between the two positions, and inserting gently. Try this only if both other positions don't work.

   
   
   

   Fix it with System Registry

   The 3rd best way to solve this contagious issue is by fixing it via system registry and in order to do that you need to get inside the system registry. Just follow the below steps.
   

   • Click on Start
   • Run > type Regedit > click on Registry Editor
   • Now follow up this fath in Registry Editor HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentConrolSet/Control/StorageDevicePoi
   • Now you’ll able to see write protection option just click on that.
   • And change the value data to “o”.
   • voila you’re done!

   
   
   

   
   

   Change the sharing permissions. Some devices, but not all, will let you change the sharing permissions even if write protection is enabled. If you are using a Windows computer, right click the device icon and select Share → Advanced Settings → Permissions. Check the "full control" box, and select ok  .
   

   • If the error message you get tells you the file is write-protected, not the drive or memory card, skip to the section on disabling write protection for files instead.

   
   
   

   Try a different adapter for memory cards. If you are using the wrong type of adapter, such as an SDHC adapter for an SD card or microSD card, you can sometimes read files but not modify them. Check your adapter's specifications and the exact text on your memory card, and try to find an adapter made specifically for that type of card.
   

   • If you are using a computer's built-in card reading slot, it might be worth trying a plug-in card reader, especially if the built-in slot feels loose or hard to fit.

   
   
   

   Use a more advanced method. If the methods above don't work, or if finding a new adapter is not feasible, try one of the more advanced methods below.
   

   • Continue to Using Diskpart, then Adjusting the Registry if you are using Windows.
   • Continue to Repairing Disk Permissions if you are using Mac.
   • Continue to Formatting on any operating system, but only if you do not need to access data stored on the device.

   
   
   
   

   1. Enter "cmd" in the Start menu. To access the command line in Windows, open the Start menu and type cmd in the search field. Press Enter, and a command window should pop up.
      

      • The command line does not use your cursor. Just type, and use "delete" or the arrow keys on your keyboard to move back to correct a mistake.
   2. 2
      Enter "diskpart" in the new window. In the command line window, type diskpart and press Enter. This will give you access to the diskpart utility inside this same command line window.
   3. 3
      Enter "list disk." Type list disk and hit Enter. This will list all disks accessible on your computer, include the USB Drive or memory card. If you don't know which drive listed is the write-protected device, find the icon of the device in your My Computer folder and note its name before you continue.
      

      • You can also identify the device by ejecting it, typing "list disk" again, and seeing which disk disappeared.
      • If your device does not appear, try "list volume" instead. In this case, you'll need to replace the commands below with "volume" wherever they use "disk."
   4. 4
      Select the disk. Once you're sure which disk is yours, type select disk X, replacing X with the number of the disk. (For example, type select disk 2 if disk 2 is the write-protected device.)
   5. 5
      Type "attributes disk clear readonly" and press enter. The command attributes disk clear readonly should remove any write protection on the disk if it exists.
      

      • Type the command exactly as shown. "readonly" is one word.
      • If this still doesn't work, try adjusting the registry using the instructions below.
   6. 6
      Exit disk utility. Type exit and press Enter to quit disk utility.

Windows 10   Ten best hidden features, tips, and tricks

Windows 10  most usefull   best hidden features, tips, and tricks

Share This article

Now that Windows 10 is out and millions of people are already running it, let’s take a look at some of the best hidden features, tips, and tricks in the operating system. If yo ,mlju’re still on the fence, take note: You really do want Windows 10, despite a lot of the gripes we’ve shared over the past several months. It’s worth getting on the list for (or downloading the Windows 10 ISO directly). It combines the best of Windows 8 — super-fast startup, improved security — with much of what made Windows 7 familiar and easy to use, and without trying to force you to buy a touch screen or learn a whole set of hidden UI gestures.
And if you’re a computer nut like me, tweaking the OS is always the fun part. Discovering and implementing power user tips ar,m,e my favorite part of getting a major n ew version of an OS. I still remember back when DOS 5.0 came out, and I was running DOS 3.3, and I got to try all these new things to optimize my 286. (We’ve come a long way.) Nostalgia aside, here’s what you need to know to amp up your Windows 10 install and take it to the next level.

Task view and virtual desktops

One of the best things about Windows 10 is how it handles virtual desktops. The fact that it finally handles them at all, out of the box, is a great step, since Mac OS X and Linux users have had that capability for a long time. It lets you set up a series of tasks and windows on your desktop, your email and Twitter window on another, and a third for general Web browsing and research. To get started, click the Task View icon on the taskbar (immediately to the right of the Search box), or hold down the Windows key (abbreviated throughout as Win) and Tab. (Click to read more on Task View and Virtual Desktops.)

Configure privacy settings

When you’re first setting up Windows 10, make sure to select a Custom install so you can modify the privacy settings, instead of going with the Express install. n  (If you already installed it, no worries; you can fix it all in Settings). Otherwise you’ll find yourself agreeing to all sorts of private data sharing — and while Windows 10 is free for Windows 7 and Windows 8 users, it’s not a free product in and of itself — so there’s no reason to share your personal information when it’s not required.

Print to PDF

You can finally print a document (or rather, save it) as PDF without using a third-party utility. This makes it much easier to save and distribute documents that aren’t easily modified. Another long overdue feature makes it in under the radar.

Make sure WiFi Sense is off

You may feel differently about this, but I certainly don’t like the idea of allowing access to my WiFi network unless I specifically give out the password. Here’s how to make sure your computer isn’t doing that — and if it is, how to turn it off.

Run it in a virtual machine

If you’re thinking of taking the Windows 10 plunge, but don’t want to disturb your machine that’s currently running just fine, here’s how to install Windows 10 in a virtual machine first.  that this is different than the virtual desktops I mentioned above; it’s virtualizing the entire OS within another OS (your existing one).

Windows Explorer Home tab and Quick Access

Windows Explorer windows are a lot more useful this time around, thanks to a new Home tab (pictured above). It makes file copies a cinch. If you look at the top left of the window, you’ll see a new Quick Access group that lets you navigate to recently accessed folders. That makes it much easier to maintain a fast workflow as you navigate around your computer’s file system.

Customize the Start Menu

The new Start Menu is such a huge improvement over what came with Windows 8.1 that it’s almost impossible to describe the relief. It combines the best elements of Windows 7 and Windows 8. And it’s also fully customizable. I admit the first thing I did is unpin all of Microsoft’s tiles and then shrink the size of the menu so it looks a lot like Windows 7 (pictured).

For a while, during some of the Windows 10 Technical Preview builds, you could pin the Recycle Bin to the taskbar, which makes it a bit more like OS X. Unfortunately, that functionality seems to be gone in the release version, though you can still pin it to the Start Menu as a tile.

Command prompt tweaks

A lot of Windows 10 utilities underneath the service still look the same as they did in Windows 7 and Windows 8. But one of the hidden tweaks is in the Command Prompt — head over to Properties and you’ll suddenly find you can enable a host of customizations, including a transparent background, resizing the window, and word wrap.

Battery saver

If you’re on a laptop and your battery is running low, Windows 10 is smart enough to begin throttling back background services and other threads so that you can squeeze the last bit of battery life out of your machine. To enable Battery Saver, click the Start menu, and head to Settings | System | Battery Saver.

Background scrolling

Ever notice how when you hover your mouse cursor over a window and try and scroll, you still can’t, because the window wasn’t active? Turn this feature on in Settings | Devices | Mouse and Touchpad and you’ll be able to do just that.

Keyboard shortcuts

Here are some keyboard shortcuts you may want to be aware of — ones that will really help your daily workflow:

• Windows Key-Tab (Task View)
• Windows Key-Right-Up (Moves app to top right quadrant)
• Windows Key-Ctrl-Left or Right (virtual desktop)
• Windows Key-Ctrl-D (new virtual desktop)
• Windows Key-Ctrl-C (Cortana listening)
• Windows Key-S (Daily Glance for weather, news, sports)
• Windows Key-Ctrl-F4 (closes virtual desktop)
• Windows Key-Up and Down (snap apps to top or bottom of screen or maximizes)

OneDrive integration

Free cloud storage is a godsend these days, am,nm,nd Microsoft makes it super easy in Windows 10 with OneDrive. You can use it to store files for mobile device access from iOS or Android, and you can even set it to let you access any file on your PC remotely — not just the ones you drag over to your OneDrive folder.

Xbox Streaming

Windows 10 finally shows some real Xbox integration, and you can use it to log into your Xbox Live account. But more importantly, you can use it to stream Xbox One games locally on your PC. You’ll have to enable it first on the Xbox One under Settings | Preferences | Allow game streaming, and then on the PC in the Xbox application. (Interestingly, Microsoft is also going the other way and adding keyboard and mouse support to the Xbox One — not that you’ll need that, since you’ve already got a PC.)

Find the original Control Panel (and other goodies)

The new Settings panel is easy to navigate and makes more sense than the crufty old Control Panel, but you’ll still need the latter to access some deeper options in the system. It’s easy to call up, even though it’s hidden; just right click on the Start buttomjhjkn on the botto m left of the screen and choose it from the pop-up menu, or type Control Panel in the Search bar at the bottom left in the taskbar. When you right-click the Start button, you’ll see all kinds of useful things there, such as Computer Management and Disk Management; for what it’s worth, those options bring you right back to the familiar Windows 7-style apps in each case.
Update 8/4/15: Added four more tips on increasing laptop battery life, enabling bac jkkground scrolling, printing to PDF, and customizing the command prompt.

How TO Enable Remote Desktop – Windows 10

Remote Desktop in windows 10 is not enabled by default. You must specifically enable it to allow remote access. This process applies for Windows 10 Pro.

1. Right click This PC -> Properties.

2.  Select Remote settings on the left pane.

3. In the Remote tab, under Remote Desktop, check mark “Allow remote connections to this computer” by default the system admin is enabled for remote desktop.

4. If you need to add a remote user other than the admin, you would need to create a new user, make sure the user has a password. Click on Select Users… button, Add, enter the name of the user, click on Check Names to make sure you have properly selected the User, then OK and Apply.

How to Defreeze Samsung Phone if It Is Hard Locked
After inserting incorrect code several times your Phone will freeze. In other words, the Samsung phone will become hard locked. In this case you will need not only network unlock code but also a defreeze code.
If you received only one code from us, you have only the network code.  If you are receiving the “phone freeze” message, you will require a Defreeze code from one of the manufacturer methods.  You can contact us for this.
Here below you can see easy steps on how to enter a defreeze code to unlock hard locked Samsung phone. There are two methods.
Method 1.
1. Insert a non-supported SIM card in your phone.
2. Go to the dial screen.
3. Input defreeze (freeze) code and press enter, or OK.
4. After entering defreeze code Samsung phone will ask you to enter network unlock code. So just enter it and click Ok.
Method 2.
1. Insert a non-supported SIM card and power on the phone. After which the screen will display:

• Phone is freeze / SOS

2. Enter defreeze (freeze) code and click Ok.
3. Click Ok (Enter).
4. Samsung Phone will ask for the Network unlock code.
5. Just input unlocking NCK code and your Samsung device will be unfreeze and unlocked permanently.
If you have any questions regarding Samsung phone unlocking by code visit our FAQ page or proceed to the Troubleshooting guide.

How To install Kali Linux on VirtualBox or pc Duel boot step by step Guide

How To install  Kali Linux on VirtualBox or pc Duel boot step by step Guide 


You need to download the latest version of Kali Linux ISO from here.
You can also download from CDImage Page here:
I would personally suggest downloading using TORRENT and it seems more stable and less chance of data corruption.
In this guide I will outline very detailed step by step instructions on installing Kali Linux on VirtualBox where Windows 7 is the HOST operating system.
In this guide, I will cover the followings:

1. Create a new Virtual Machine
2. Create a new Virtual disk (VDI, dynamic allocation etc.)
3. Modifying some VirtualBox settings (allocating physical and Video memory, selecting OS Type, CPU acceleration etc.)
4. Loading Kali ISO
5. Booting Kali ISO (initial info, location, timezone etc.)
6. Kali disk partitioning (you should try other ways than I’ve showed here to learn)
7. Finalizing instllation and running Kali on VirtualBox.
8. Install Virtualbox Guest Additions packages

Step 1: Create a new Virtual Machine

I’ve already given instructions and provided links on how to get VirtualBox and install that above. If you’ve missed it, go back and install VirtualBox.
Once you’ve installed VirtualBox,

• Open it.
• Click on New to create a New Virtual Machine.

Step 1.a: Enter a name for you VBox

Enter Kali Linux 1.0.6 as the name. You’ll see Type is set to Linux automagically and version will be Linux 2.3/3.x. We will fix those later. Click Next.


Step 1.b: Allocate Memory/RAM
Default memory size is 256 MB.

Change it to 1024 (1GB).

Step 2: Create a Virtual Hard Drive
In this screen select “Create a virtual hard drive now” – 2nd option and click Create.

Step 2.a: Select Virtual Drive File type
On the next screen select “VDI” – VirtualBox Disk Image as your Hard Drive File Type. Click Next.

Step 2.b: Select Physical hard drive allocation type

Select Dynamically Allocated and click Next on Storage on Physical hard drive screen.
I will explain soon why we’ve chosen this.

Step 2.c: Allocate disk size

On “File location and size” screen, it will come up as 8.00 GB as default size and Kali Linux 1.0.6 as the name (which we’ve set on step 1.a).

Change the Virtual Hard Drive size to 20.00 GB and Click Create.


Here’s the best part.. on step 2.b we’ve selected Dynamicallt Allocated for our Storage on Physical hard drives. That means, you’re not wasting 20.00 GB disk space straight way. Usual Kali Installation install just below 5.00 GB. In this way, you will use only that much space, but your Virtual Hard Disk can increase up to 20.00 GB if you put more and more stuffs in there. An example is to downloading big dictionary files to crack WiFi passwords using Pyrit
So, yes, give it some space, it also helps avoiding some pesky installation errors.

Step 3: Modify VirtualBox settings

So far, we’ve done the followings, checklist for you:

1. Created a New Virtual Machine
2. Created Virtual Hard disk
3. Fiddled with disk properties, type and size.

At this point you should be in the following screen. Note that I am using Kali 1.0.6 x64 bit, incase you’re using 32-bit you can change those options in here.



Select Kali Linux 1.0.6 (I got many), you might have just one and click on Settings icon
Step 3.a: Select type of OS
Depending on which ISO you downloaded you should select the correct Version here.
As Kali Linux is derived from Debian, I’ve selected Debian (64-bit) on General > Basic > Version. If you’re using a 32-bit ISO, select Debian (32-bit) as your version.

Step 3.b: Enable shared clipboard and dragn’drop feature

Select General > Advanced TAB and change Shared Clipboard and Dragn’Drop to Bidirectional. This will allow you to copy paste files from your HOST machine on the fly.

Step 3.c: Update Virtual Motherboard options

Select System > Motherboard, un-check Floppy (Do you even have a floppy disk drive anymore?) and Check the box for “Enable I/O APIC”. Note that you can change base memory allocation in the same screen. We’ve set it to 1024MB previously. My PC got 8.00GB RAM, which means I can actually allocate a lot more to make Kali response faster on my Virtual Machine. If you feel your Virtualized Kali Linux is slow, you should increase this Base Memory allocation.



The calculations are as follows:
1.00 GB = 1024MB
2.00 GB = 2048MB
3.00 GB = 3072MB
You get the idea, just multiply 1024 with the amount of Memory / RaM you want and put the value in here.
Step 3.d: Select number of Processors and enable PAE/NX
I’ve changed Processor to 2 (I got 8 CPU’s in my machine, this screen will show how many you got). Try sticking with EVEN numbers here.
Check the box for “Enable PAE/NX”.

Step 3.e: Allocate Video memory and 3D acceleration
Select Display > Video and set Video Memory to 128MB. This allows you have a good responsive desktop environment.
Also check the box for “Enable 3D Acceleration”.

If you got more than 1 Monitor, you can change your settings here too.

Step 4: Loading Kali ISO

Select Storage > Controller: IDE and highlight Empty CD ICON. Now on your right, you should be able to use the little CD ICON (it should be CD/DVD Drive: IDE Secondary Master already, if not change it) and select your downloaded ISO.



Once you select your downloaded ISO (in my case, it’s kali-linux-1.0.6-amd64.iso). See the properties and information’s changes accordingly.


Important thing to note: Size… if your disk size mismatched, you might have a corrupt disk. Refer to Kali download page and CDimage page for size related info. You can also do a SHA1 check to ensure your disk is not corrupted. More info here.
Step 4.a: Select Network connection type
If your computer is connection to internet, select NAT on Network > Adapter 1. You can enable more network adapters if you feel like to play around.

Step 4.b: Enable USB 2.0 Controllers

From USB TAB, check the boxes for Enable USB Controller > Enable USB 2.0 (EHCI) Controller. Note that I got “Invalid settings detected” error at the bottom of the screen. Install VirtualBox Extension Pack to remove this error.



You need to PRESS OK and save your Settings first.
Close VirtualBox and then install VirtualBox 4.3.10 Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack for All supported platforms.
It will enable virtual USB 2.0 (EHCI) device support, VirtualBox Remote Desktop Protocol (VRDP) support, Host webcam passthrough support.
Re-Open VirtualBox and Select Settings > USB again to confirm you don’t have that error anymore. Save your settings by pressing OK.

Step 4.c: Compare settings with mine

At this point your screen should be somewhat similar to mine. I’ve highlighted the imporatnt parts, if something didn’t match you can go back and enable disable those settings. Note that, for 32-bit users, it will be slightly different.

Step 5. Booting Kali ISO

From VirtualBox Main Screen, Highlight Kali Linux 1.0.6 and Press Start Button. You might want to press F12 on the following screen to play around.

Step 5.a: Select Graphical Install

On Kali Linux Boot menu, highlight Graphical install and press Enter.

Step 5.b: Select language

In my case I’ve chosen English. Click Continue.


Step 5.c: Select location
In my case I’ve chosen Australia. Click Continue.

Step 5.d: Select keyboard layout

I’ve selected American English. Click Continue.

Step 5.e: Enter Hostname

You can enter any name in here. I’ve left the default hostname as “kali”. Click Continue.

Step 5.f: Enter Domain name

You can leave it blank if you want. I’ve chosen blackmoreops.com as my domain name. This means I can later ping my computer as kali.blackmoreops.com in my LAN.

Step 5.g: Choose Root password

Enter your root password (anything you choose), confirm and Click Continue.

Step 5.h: Configure Clock

Usually you should choose the correct State or province here as otherwise Kali will try to connection incorrect repository and you get slower download speed. Same applies for Location in Step 5.c.

Step 6: Kali disk partitioning

As this is all Virtualized, you can choose anything you want to. I personally think you should play around in this screen to get familiar with how Disk partitioning works. Disk partitioning usually scares the hell out of new users and you are potentially at risk of loosing Data. In VirtualBox environment however, go NUTS!
For the sake of this guide, I will choose the most basic Partitioning method.

Step 6.a: Choose Partitioning method

Highlight Guided – use entire disk and Select Continue

Step 6.b: Select disk to partition

You should have only 1 disk in this screen, highlight it and click Continue.

Step 6.c: Select partitioning scheme

Highlight “All files in one partition” and click Continue.



You might want to play around in this screen if you feel like. This is a good thing to learn as in corporate environment, you select disk scheme manually.
I will advise you to read Redhat’s Recommended Partitioning Scheme for a better understanding.

Step 6.d: Finish partitioning

On the next screen, Highlight Finish partitioning and white change to disk and click Continue.



Note that how the partitioning is done. Click Continue when you’re satisfied.
Finally, on the next screen, highlight “Yes” and click Continue to write changes to disks.



Your installation will start now. On my PC which got a 5400 RPM Hard disk, it takes about 8 mins.

Step 7: Finalizing installation and running Kali on VirtualBox.

If your HOST machine is connected to Internet, you can update your installation of Kali Linux on VirtualBox by selecting to “Use a Network mirror?”



On this screen select Yes if you want to update, select No, if you want to do it later. I suggest updating as Kali Linux updated a lot of packages since Kali Linux 10.0.6 was released. This might take sometime, but it’s better this way. Note that it might take anytime between 1-2 hours.
You can always update Kali installation later on. Click Continue when ready.

Step 7.a: Provide HTTP Proxy information

If you’re behind a proxy, type it in here, if you’re directly connected to internet, leave it blank and click Continue.

Step 7.b: Install GRUB boot loader

Select Yes to install grub boot loader on the next screen. Press Continue when ready.

Step 7.c: Reboot time!

Once the installation has finished, press continue and the system will reboot.

Step 7.d: Choose Kali on Grub

This screen explains itself. You choose the first option and press Enter. You can choose Recovery mode to play around if you’ve messed something on Grub or system config for recovery.

Step 7.e: Login for the first time

Click on Other and enter root as your username.



Type in the password you’ve selected on step 5.g. Click Log In when ready.
