How to recover a lost file in Word 2007 or in Word 2010 and others version.

How to recover a lost file in Word 2007 or in Word 2003

INTRODUCTION

Microsoft Office Word documents can be lost in certain situations. For example, the document may be lost if an error forces Word to close, if you experience a power interruption while you are editing, or if you close the document without saving changes.

This article discusses six methods that you can use to try to recover the lost document.

Unfortunately, some documents might not be recoverable. For example, if you have not saved the document at all, the whole document might be lost. If you have saved your document, you might lose only the changes that you made since the last time that you saved it. However, do not worry. Many documents can be partly or completely recovered.

Because there are several versions of Microsoft Windows, the following steps may be different on your computer. If they are, see your product documentation to complete these steps. Also, because some of these methods include steps that require you to restart your computer. You may find it easier to follow the steps if you print this article first.

More information

Use these methods in the order in which they are presented to recover the lost document. If one of these methods is successful and you recover the lost document, you are finished and you do not have to follow any more steps.

Method 1: Search for the original document

The original document might not have been removed from the computer. Follow these steps to see whether you can find the document:

1. Click Start, and then click Search.
2. In the lower-left corner of the Windows Desktop Search pane, click Click here to use Search Companion, if that option is listed.
3. In the Search Companion pane, click All Files and Folders.
4. In the All or part of the file name box, type the name of the document that you want to find.
5. In the Look in box, click My Computer, and then click Search.

If the search details pane does not contain the document that you are looking for, you might have typed the file name incorrectly or the document might have a different name. Follow these steps to search for all Word documents:

1. In the Search Companion pane, click Start a new search.
2. Click All files and folders, and then copy and paste (or type) the following text into the All or part of the file name: box, and then click Search.

*.doc

If the details pane still does not contain the file that you are looking for, the document might have been moved to the Recycle Bin. To view the Recycle Bin and restore the document if it is there, follow these steps:

1. On the desktop, double-click Recycle Bin.
2. On the View menu, click Details.
3. On the View menu, click Arrange Icons by, and then click Date Deleted.
4. Scroll through the files.
   
   If you find the document that you are looking for, right-click the document, and then click Restore to return the document to its original location.

Note Microsoft currently does not provide any utilities to recover documents that have been deleted, or emptied from the Recycle Bin. However, some third-party utilities to recover deleted documents may be available on the Internet.

Method 2: Search for Word backup files

If the previous method did not work for you, the main document might be gone. But there might be a backup copy of the document available. The Always create backup copy setting in Word creates backup copies of every document that you create.

First, follow one of these steps to see whether the Always create backup copy setting is enabled:

• If you use Microsoft Office Word 2007: Click the Microsoft Office Button, click Word Options in the lower-right corner, and then click Advanced. Scroll through the headings until you find the Save section, which is close to the end of the list. If the Always create backup copy setting, located in the Save section, is selected, Word created a backup copy of the document.
• If you use Microsoft Office Word 2003: On the Tools menu, click Options. The Always create backup copy setting is located on the Save tab. If the Always create backup copy setting is selected, Word created a backup copy of the document.

Then, if the Always create backup copy setting is not selected, go to method 3: "Force Word to try to recover a file."

If the Always create backup copy setting is selected, follow these steps to find the backup copy of the lost document:

1. Locate the folder in which you last saved the missing document.
2. Look for files that have the .wbk extension.
   
   If there are no files that have the .wbk extension in the original folder, follow these steps to search the computer for all files that have the .wbk extension:

a.       Click Start, and then click Search.

b.      In the lower-left corner of the Windows Desktop Search pane, click Click here to use Search Companion.

c.       In the Search Companion pane, click All Files and Folders.

d.      In the All or part of the file name: box, copy and paste (or type) the following text:

*.wbk

e.       In the Look in box, click My Computer, and then click Search.

                        If you find any files that are named "Backup of" followed by the name of the missing document, follow these steps to open the backup copy:

 .        Start Word.

a.       Perform one of the following actions:

§  If you use Word 2007: Click the Microsoft Office Button, click Open, click All Files (*.*) in the Files of type box, locate and select the file, and then click Open.

§  If you use Word 2003: Click Open on the File menu, click All Files (*.*) in the Files of type box, locate and select the file, and then click Open.

Method 3: Force Word to try to recover a file

If Word did not create a backup copy of the document, you might be able to use the AutoRecover feature to recover the lost document.

Note The AutoRecover feature in Word performs an emergency backup of open documents when an error occurs. Some errors can interfere with creating an AutoRecover file. The AutoRecover feature is not a substitute for saving the document.

If the Save AutoRecover information every [] minutes option is selected, Word creates a temporary AutoRecover file that includes the latest changes in the document. Every time that Word starts, it searches for AutoRecover files. If Word finds any AutoRecover files, it displays the files that it finds in the Document Recovery task pane.

First, to see whether the Save AutoRecover information every [] minutes option is selected, use one of the following steps:

• If you use Word 2007: Click the Microsoft Office Button, click Word Options, and then click Save. The Save AutoRecover information every [] minutes option is in the Save documents section.
• If you use Word 2003: Click Options on the Tools menu. The Save AutoRecover information every [] minutes option is located on the Save tab.

Then, if the Save AutoRecover information every [] minutes option is selected, try closing Word and reopening it. If the AutoRecover task pane appears on the left side of the screen, click the lost document to restore it.

If the Save AutoRecover information every [] minutes option is not selected, you can try to force Word to recover the document.

Use one of the following steps to force Word to recover the document:

• If you use Word 2007: Click the Microsoft Office Button, click Open, select the Word document, click the down arrow on the Open button in the lower-right corner of the Open screen, and then click Open and Repair.
• If you use Word 2003: Click Open on the File menu, select the Word document, click the down arrow on the Open button in the lower-right corner of the Open screen, and then click Open and Repair.

Method 4: Manually recover AutoRecover files

If Word could not open the AutoRecover file automatically or through the Open and Repair option, the AutoRecover file might be saved in a nondefault location. You might have to look for the AutoRecover file manually.

Follow these steps to search for AutoRecover files manually:

1. Click Start, and then click Search.
2. In the lower-left corner of the Windows Desktop Search pane, click Click here to use Search Companion, if that option is listed.
3. In the Search Companion pane, click All Files and Folders.
4. In the All or part of the file name: box, copy and paste (or type) the following text:

*.ASD

5. In the Look in box, click My Computer.
6. Click Search.

If a file that is named DocumentName.asd appears in the details pane, follow these steps to open the document:

1. Start Word.
2. Follow one of these steps:
• If you use Word 2007: Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Open.
• If you use Word 2003: Click Open on the File menu.
3. In the File of type list, click All Files (*.*).
4. Locate and select the .asd file.
5. Click Open.
6. Restart the computer.
7. Start Word.

If Word finds the AutoRecover file, the Document Recovery task pane opens on the left side of the screen, and the lost document is listed as DocumentName [Original] or as DocumentName [Recovered]. If this occurs, perform one of the following actions:

• In Word 2007, double-click the file in the Document Recovery task pane, click the Microsoft Office Button, click Save As, and then save the document as a .docx file.
• In Word 2003, double-click the file in the Document Recovery task pane, click Save As on the File menu, and then save the document as a .doc file.

Note If an AutoRecover file in the Recovery pane does not open correctly, go to the "How to troubleshoot damaged documents" section for more information about how to open damaged files.

Method 5: Search for temporary files

If you could not find an AutoRecover file or a backup of the lost document, you might be able to recover the document from your temporary files.

To search for the lost document in your temporary files, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, and then click Search.
2. In the lower-left corner of the Windows Desktop Search pane, click Click here to use Search Companion.
3. In the Search Companion pane, click All Files and Folders.
4. In the All or part of the file name: box, copy and paste (or type) the following text:

*.TMP

5. In the Look in box, click My Computer.
6. Click the two chevrons next to When was it modified?.
7. Click Specify dates, and then type the from and to dates to include the time period since you last opened the file.

9. On the View menu, click Details.
10. On the View menu, click Arrange Icons by, and then click Modified.
11. Scroll through the files, searching for files that match the last dates and times that you edited the document.

If you find the document that you are looking for, go to the "How to troubleshoot damaged documents" section for more information about how to recover information from the document.

Method 6: Search for ~ files

Some temporary file names start with the tilde (~) symbol. These files might not appear in the list of temporary files that you found in method 5: "Search for temporary files."

Follow these steps to find any files that begin with ~:

1. Click Start, and then click Search.
2. In the lower-left corner of the Windows Desktop Search pane, click Click here to use Search Companion, if that option is listed.
3. In the Search Companion pane, click All Files and Folders.

~*.*

5. In the Look in box, click My Computer.

7. Click Specify dates, and then type the from and to dates to include the time period since you last opened the file.
8. Click Search.
9. On the View menu, click Details.
10. On the View menu, click Arrange Icons by, and then click Modified.
11. Scroll through the files, searching for files that match the last dates and times that you edited the document.

If you find the document that you are looking for, go to the "How to troubleshoot damaged documents" section for more information about how to recover information from the document.

How to Reset Your Forgotten Windows Password the Easy Way


Forgetting your password is never any fun, but luckily there’s a really easy way to reset the
password. All you need is a copy of the Windows installation disk and one simple command line
trick.

Resetting Your Forgotten Windows Password
Boot off the Windows disk and select the “Repair your computer” option from the lower lefthand
corner.

Follow through until you get to the option to open the Command Prompt, which you’ll want to
select.

First you’ll want to type in the following command to backup the original sticky keys file:
copy c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe c:\

Then you’ll copy the command prompt executable (cmd.exe) over top of the sticky keys
executable:
copy c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe

Now you can reboot the PC.

Resetting the Password

Once you get to the login screen, hit the Shift key 5 times, and you’ll see an administrator mode
command prompt.

Now to reset the password—just type the following command, replacing the username and
password with the combination you want:
net user geek MyNewPassword
That’s all there is to it. Now you can login.
Of course, you’ll probably want to put the original sethc.exe file back, which you can do by
rebooting into the installation CD, opening the command prompt, and copying the c:\sethc.exe
file back to c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe.

How to Facebook Block on your pc

How to Facebook Block on your pc

I’m not completely against facebook except their annoying emails and useless applications, but I  hate people who dying front of computer with facebook. At most of the work places its blocked easily by proxy servers. There are some methods to access it even when it blocked by proxy servers. Anyhow it is pointless to talk about it.  In this post I show few steps on how to block Facebook on Windows 7 Home computer.

As you don’t have proxy servers at home, we have to do it in other ways. 5 methods available here, take which one suites for your and others (blocking for them).

Methods to Block Facebook on Windows 7 Home Computer.

1) Block it on Internet Explorer. – Method 1

You can easily block websites on Internet explorer 8 on Windows 7. To do it,  Go to Tools – > Internet Options and select content tab.
Click on Settings.  Go to Approved Sites tab and type facebook.com and press Never button.
IE8 will prompt for Content advisor password, give a good password which can not be guessed by others.  Still it is not done.
Go to General tab and make sure to select ‘ Users can see websites that have no rating’ option under User options. if you don’t select this, most of the sites will stop working no matter approved or denied sites.
Contend advisor should be enabled, once its enabled you can view screen as below.
Now its done. when ever some body try to access facebook on internet explorer 8, it will pop up for content advisor password to allow particular site.

Problems with method

1) This works only with Internet Explorer. If your computer is having other browsers such as Firefox, Chrome or Safari then this is useless.
2) Your other party will know its blocked by some body ( it’s you!) and they will irritate you for the password or remove the block( you can disable password popup under settings) because its your home, not office.
3) There is a method to remove content advisor password without knowing it. Don’t worry I’m not going to tell how it is.

2) Block it in Host file. – Method 2

This is very simple method and no body will know this. Before any internet browser access web sites, it checks the DNS entry in Host file which is in your computer. if no entry found for specific website, then it goes to ISP ( Internet Service provider) to get the IP address.
So, what we will do now is, enter facebook entry on Windows 7 host file with wrong IP address.
Any browser find this entry and try to load from the IP address which is completely wrong. Finally facebook will not load ( that is what we wanted). To do it, Make sure you have administrative privilege to edit this host file.
Go to following location and open hosts file in notepad or any text editor.

1. Click Start menu
2. Click Run
3. copy c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
4. Enter 
Then flow below step:


5. Open hosts file on your notepad then


127.0.0.1                     login.facebook.com
127.0.0.1                     www.facebook.com
127.0.0.1                     blog.facebook.com
127.0.0.1                     apps.facebook.com
127.0.0.1                     en-gb.facebook.com
Type IP address and Press Tab key then type above addresses. 127.0.0.1 is the local host IP.
Restart the machine and try facebook, it will not work. This method will stop any browsers to access facebook.com.

Problems with this method

If other party have administrative access and know about host file entry, then this method is not valid as they can simply remove these entries.

3) Block it on your Internet Router. – Method 3

This is more technical and limited because it  depends on your ADSL router. It can vary  for each routers, therefore I cant tell where to find it. Mostly under security (WAN) you can find some options to block websites with IP addresses or specific words.  These are the IP address of facebook.com
69.63.181.11
69.63.181.12
69.63.189.11
69.63.189.16

4) Block Facebook with Parental Control in Windows 7. – Method 4

This method mostly suitable for kids.  If you are looking to block only facebook website then I suggest to use Internet explorer content advisor as mentioned in method 1.  Filtering and blocking websites by windows 7 parental control is more complicated and advanced.
This feature is not a built in component, you have to download Windows Live Family Safety from Microsoft site here.
While installing make sure to select  Family Safety check box.

Once Installation done, go to Parental control in control panel. Select the windows user you want to block facebook and click on the option mentioned below, you have to enter windows live id and password.
Further settings can be modified on live website. Here is the way to block websites in Windows live family safety on Windows 7.
