Manually resetting AUTOCHK.EXE for a drive
[Serdar Yegulalp]
Windows maintains a piece of metadata for each volume called the "dirty bit." The dirty bit is a flag that tells the system if there are still pending changes to be written to the volume. Read more about dirty bits in this tip.
Ask the expert: Windows XP Home indicating registry error
[Serdar Yegulalp]
Dear Serdar,
My Windows XP Home will not start. It boots to a blue screen that says Registry Error and indicates that Windows was shut down to protect itself. It then advises me to restart and disable any new hardware or software. Then it says if the screen appears again to start in safe mode. I tried to start in safe mode and it ends up at the same screen. Do you have any suggestions?
Turn off your SMTP, Telnet and HTTP banners
[Mark Mills]
When you Telnet to your mail server (port 25) from a command line, (c:telnet 25), it displays what SMTP server you are running. The same goes for Telnet(23) and HTTP(80) ports. This leads to an "OS Fingerprint" so hackers can decide on what vulnerabilities you have to attack. Find out how to block these vulnerabilities in this tip.
