Download Vista Drivers for ZTE ZXDSL 852 Modem - 32 Bit and 64 Bit
1:51 AM - Posted by SanJ Wijeratne - 27 comments

Since I came to notice that there’s considerable amount of traffic coming to this site seeking for Windows Vista Drivers for ZTE ZXDSL 852 modem, I thought of uploading the Vista driver I have with me for that modem and make it available for download through this site. You can find the Vista Driver for ZTE ZXDSL 852 modem here. I got this driver from Sri Lanka Telecom, who is my Internet Service Provider but they recommend ZTE ZXDSL 852 modem to be best use with Windows XP rather than Windows Vista. But this driver works well for me and I hope it will help you too to sort out your problems with ZTE ZXDSL 852. Drivers for Vista 64 bit and XP 32 bit Operating Systems are also included in the download pack.

Windows 7 - Microsoft Announces Their Next Version of Windows
4:53 PM - Posted by SanJ Wijeratne - 0 comments
Microsoft Corporation has officially announced their next version of Windows, which is going to be Windows 7, in Windows Vista Team Blog, which is the official blog for Windows Vista. The announcement was made by Mike Nash, Corporate Vice President, Windows Product Management, Microsoft Corporation in one of his posts there. According to his post on Vista Team Blog, Microsoft Corporation will share the details of the release Windows 7 on two of their upcoming events at PDC and WinHEC. Further they are planning to share a pre-beta "developer only release" with attendees of both shows. Also he has mentioned that this is the first time Microsoft is using a codename to name a final product. Now you may wonder what's the point of talking all these nonsence in a personal blog. Well, Just to make a single point. If you are willing to take part in one of the above two events of Microsoft, where there are planning to distribute developer only versions of Windows 7 for "free", you may need to think about this also, Whether to assure the quality of Windows 7 (or Simply put, QA Windows 7) for "free" using the "free" version you get and pay "$$$" for the final official release to buy your own copy of Windows 7 or use your time on QA-ing Windows 7 for "free" on something worth investing???. Good Luck with Windows 7!!!

Disable Vista AutoRun Feature to Prevent from Malicious Codes
3:27 PM - Posted by SanJ Wijeratne - 1 comments
This article carries out some facts on how to disable AutoRun feature available in Microsoft Windows Vista. It is based on some facts I got by googling "How to disable AutoRun in Vista". Usually, we can stop a removable device executing its autorun.inf file by holding the SHIFT key while plugging it to the computer in Windows XP versions. But this is no longer supported in Windows Vista and therefore I suggest the following method which will stop the execution of the autorun.inf file/s saved in your removable media, (i.e. Pen Drives, CDROMs etc.). Note that this will not stop the pop up window appeas as soon as you plugged a removable media. If you want to stop popping up that window, use "Set AutoPlay Defaults in Control Panel" link appears at the bottom of the pop up window and unckeck "Use AutoPlay for all media types box".

You need to write a small registry entry and add it to your registry to permanently block the execution of autorun.inf files. The code you need to write is given at the end of this post. These three lines should be saved in to a new file called NoAutoRun.reg. Then right click on it and merge it in to your system's registry. You need to restart your computer after merging new values to the system registry and then you can check whether its working by inserting a CD which has an autorun.inf file (Most of the software CDs have autorun.inf files) and it will not run automatically unless you manually run it. Good Bye AutoRuns :-D

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\IniFileMapping\Autorun.inf]
