Windows 7 Tool: Problem Steps Recorder

One of the most troublesome issues of troubleshooting is to find out exactly how it happened and for what. Obviously, some processes are non-recoverable.

For them you cannot repeat the process and risk hardware just because a troubleshooter wasn‟t able to understand where it had error. Here is a wonderful tool for Windows 7.

 A feature new to Windows 7, called Problem Steps Recorder looks to be the missing tool for documenting where it all goes wrong.


The tool is just an advanced version of the screen capture software but with other in- depth functionalities.

 It is kind of an automated Print Screen plus background documenting all the mouse clicks, key strokes and gathering some technical reading material, which are stored and saved as the results.

You get them stored in a zipped MHTML report page which can be sent off directly to the help desk.
How to Use Problem Steps Recorder

1.  Go to Start Menu -> Run.
2.  Type and select psr.exe and ENTER.

MHT document would contain all the screenshots recorded at particular events.

Apart from Screenshots additional details which describe each and every event including the programs and UI are stored in the MHT file which can be later on used to troubleshoot the problem.

On Screen Keyboard

Another post for the day, I have accumulated all of them since last weekend. Pushing them all at now. Working online and using your Internet Banking Facility, Key logging Software‟s can take out your password the moment you type them and further misuse them.

 You can simply take advantage of On screen Keyboard utility provided by Microsoft to type without using keyboard. It will bring a keyboard on your desktop and you can use your mouse pointer to click to type any key. 

How to get it? 

1. Use Win+R key to get Run dialog box 

2. Write "OSK" and press enter 

 3. Your Onscreen Keyboard is at your service.

Alternatively you can find the same in "StartMenu->All Programs->Accessories->Ease of Access->On screen Keyboard".

This is how an On Screen Keyboard looks in Windows 7.

New Autoplay Autorun options in Windows 7

Whenever an external device is plugged in Windows it showed an Autorun options for choosing what happens when you insert it.

It can be configured at Control Panel > Autoplay

In order to help prevent malware from spreading using the Autorun mechanism, the Windows 7 engineering team made two important changes to the product:

1. AutoPlay will no longer support the Autorun functionality for non-optical removable media. In other words, AutoPlay will still work for CD/DVDs but it will no longer work for USB drives.
Before the change (left) after the change (right)

2. A dialog change was done to clarify that the program being executed is running from external media.
Before the change (left) after the change (right)
Some smart USB flash drives can pose as a CD/DVD drive instead of standard ones. In this specific scenario, the operating system will treat the USB drive as if it is a CD/DVD because the type of the device is determined at the hardware level.

Network Access Protection: Secure your Network

Network Access Protection (NAP) is a platform that network administrators can use to help protect the security of a network. When you connect to a corporate network that uses NAP, your computer is checked to make sure that it has the required software and settings, and that the software and settings are up to date.

If anything is missing or outdated, your computer can be automatically updated. Your network access might be limited during that time, but usually this process happens quickly, after which full network access is restored. So it checks if the computer you are connecting over network is really safe to connect or not.

 If any violation to NAP protocols is there such as presence of Virus, Trojans etc. over the network computer you are connecting NAP won‟t allow you to connect. Enabling NAP enhances your security over network and you will be much safer.

You can see if it is Activated here: Control Panel >System Security>Action Center>NAP Status On/Off.

How to disable restrict USB/Flash Drive in Windows 7

Recently one of my friend asked me how a USB drive can be disabled on a particular computer. So it‟s a pretty much Registry Tweak.

To disable the access to USB port, in windows XP, Vista and Windows 7:

1. Click Start, and then click Run.

2. Type regedit, and then click OK. (Or simply open registry)

3. Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\UsbStor

4. In the right pane, double-click Start.

5. In the Value data box, change its value to 4, which was 3 and then click OK.

To re-enable a disabled port:

1. Click Start, and then click Run.

2. Type regedit, and then click OK. (Or simply open registry)

3. Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\UsbStor

4. In the right pane, double-click Start.

5. In the Value data box, change its value to 3, which you changed to 4 to disable the USB drive and
then click OK.

6. Quit Registry Editor.

Now whenever a user will attach a USB storage device which is already installed in system, Windows will not detect it and it‟ll not be shown in My Computer. However, disabling USB ports totally also disables the ability for Windows to use USB based keyboard, mouse, webcam, printer, scanner and etc., which are common devices for a computer nowadays and essential ones as well.

Encrypt USB drive using BitLocker

Since Windows Vista, Windows comes bundled with a security feature BitLocker, a hard drive encryption scheme designed to protect sensitive data from being accessed on lost or stolen computers mainly laptops. To protect important data stored on USB drives, Windows 7 features the encryptions scheme called BitLocker To Go. It allows USB drive encryption and restricts access to it with a password.

During the encryption process, Windows 7 installs a special reader on the USB drive. When you connect the USB drive to a computer running XP or Vista, the BitLocker To Go Reader takes control, prompts for the password, and then basically makes the USB drive a read-only device.

To set up password on a USB drive:
Insert a USB drive, and go to Control Panel > BitLocker Drive Encryption.

Here BitLocker To Go can be enabled for USB drive.

As soon as you do, BitLocker To Go will begin initializing your USB drive. During the process you don‟t have to worry about any data that is already on the drive.
After the initialization process is complete, BitLocker To Go will prompt for a password which you can use to unlock the drive later. You can also use your smartcard PIN to unlock the drive.

Next to password setup, BitLocker To Go will prompt you to store a recovery key that helps unlock your drive in case you forget your password or lose your smart card.

Recovery Key can be saved in a file or can be printed as well.
Thereafter it would ask a confirmation for encryption process.

You‟ll be prompted to begin the encryption process once you save the recovery key.
During the encryption process, you‟ll see a standard progress monitor which tells the percentage of drive encrypted. The amount of time that it will take to complete the process will depend on how large the drive is.
While the encryption process is going on, status of Drive can be seen as Encrypting in control Panel When the encryption is complete, a prompt would display Encryption is Complete.

Now the drive is encrypted and password prompt on plugging the USB drive starts from next plug in.
Encrypted USB drive would prompt to enter the password immediately after it is inserted. The drive can be used only and only if Correct password is entered.

BitLocker To Go encrypted drive works in Windows XP/Vista as well i.e. it would prompt password in XP/Vista as well even if drive is encrypted in Windows 7.
The USB drive has a closed lock as an icon till it is unlocked and thereafter the icon changes to an open lock signifying drive is unlocked and ready for use.

Display a Message at Start Up

At the time of Windows boot up a popup message can be added which contains any message you wish to display. In many organizations there a display of a message to display instructions or policies of Organization etc. in Windows, whenever you boot it.
Here is how you can do it too:

1.  Open Registry Editor (Go to Start Run type Regedit & press enter)
2. Navigate to : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
3.  In the Right Side pane select & open LegalNoticeCaption and enter a value that you want to see in the Menu Bar.
4.  Next to it open LegalNoticeText and insert the message you want to display each time Windows boots.
5.  Close Registry & Restart for changes to take effect.

Setting up Menu bar text using LegalNoticeCaption key:

Setting up Message to Display after computer Boots up using LegalNoticeText key:
This trick works with Windows 7 and earlier Versions of Windows as well.

To stop those annoying pop-up ads, on your Web browser, go to Tools > Pop-up Blocker and

File extensions

File extensions :

Say someone sends you a file attached to an e-mail. The file will have a name
and an extension. File extensions basically let you know what type of information is contained in a
particular file. For example a Microsoft Word file has the .doc or docx extension. The .jpeg or sometimes
the .jpg is a file extension for a certain type of graphic (photo).
Here are some other examples of file extensions:

1. .exe (An executable file, usually the file that starts a program.)
2. .pdf (Portable Document Format, is a file format created by Adobe Systems. Most office
3. documents come in .pdf file format.)
4. .Doc/.docx – Microsoft Word document (if an ‘x’ is included, it’s version 2007)
5. .xls/.xlxx – Microsoft Excel workbook/worksheet (if an ‘x’ is included, it’s version 2007)
6. .ppt/.pptx – Microsoft Power Point presentation (if an ‘x’ is included, it’s version 2007)
7. .zip/.rar (These could be any file but they have been compressed and packed away to a smaller
8. size. When unpacked or unzipped it will become what it was originally.)
9. .wav/ .mp3 (music files)
10. .jpg/.gif/.bmp (Picture file formats)

Increase (or decrease) the default font size

To increase (or decrease) the default font size on your Web browser (so the Web pages you are
viewing are easier to read), on the Web browser menu, go to View > Text Size and select the size you
want. The font size will stay this way until you change it.
You can also enlarge the text on any Web page by pressing Ctrl and the plus or minus keys (for bigger or
smaller fonts).

CLICKING * .AVI FILES ON EXPLORER CAUSING 100% CPU USAGE.!!

Well windows seem to have a REALLY big problem when it comes to reading AVI files. It seems that when you click on an AVI file in explorer, it’ll try to read the entire AVI file to determine the width,height, etc. of the AVI file (this is displayed in the Properties window). Now the problem with Windows is that if you have a broken/not fully downloaded AVI file that doesnt contain this info, Windows will scan the entire AVI file trying to figure out all these properties which in the process will probably cause 100% CPU usage and heavy memory usage. To solve this problem all you have to do is the following:

1. Open up regedit

2. Goto HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.avi\shellex\PropertyHandler

3. Delete the “Default” value which should be “{87D62D94-71B3-4b9a-9489-5FE6850DC73E}”

Voila! Please not that this will no longer provide you with the windows properties displaying the AVI file information such as width, height, bitrate etc. But its a small price to pay for saving you resources.

NOTE: Please use caution when using regedit. Improper usage may cause windows to behave imcorrectly. Also, I cannot be held resposible. Backup your registry first.

CD ROM STOPS AUTOPLAYING/AUTORUN.!!

log trick !! make ur Notepad a diary !!

Sometimes we want to insert current data and time, whenever we open the file in the notepad. If you are a lazy person like me, who don’t like to press F5 whenever you open a notepad. Then here is a trick to avoid this. Just add a .LOG in the first line of your text file and close it.

Whenever you open the file with that text in the first line in the notepad, it will insert the current date and time at the end of the file. You can start entering your text after that.

the mouse. Create a new shortcut on your desktop using

a right mouse click, and enter ‘rundll32.exe

user32.dll,LockWorkStation’ in the location field.

Give the shortcut a name you like. That’s it — just

double click on it and your computer will be locked.

And if that’s not easy enough, Windows key + L will do

the same.

SYSTEM INFORMATION

system up time only for xp professional editionIt boasts how long it can stay up. Whereas previous

versions of Windows were coy about how long they went

between boots, XP is positively proud of its stamina.

Go to the Command Prompt in the Accessories menu from

the All Programs start button option, and then type

‘systeminfo’. The computer will produce a lot of

useful info, including the uptime. If you want to keep

these, type ‘systeminfo > info.txt’. This creates a

file called info.txt you can look at later with

Notepad. (Professional Edition only)
