Add a Password on Zipped folder Windows XP Only
In windows XP, you can protect your files and folders by adding a password. And no software is necessary for this purpose! All you need is just to create a ZIP file and set a password. Lets do it.
- First, select the files and folder that needs to be password protected.
- Now right click on it and send it to Compressed (zipped) folder.
- Double click on the zipped folder to open it.
- Now click on the file menu and select Add a password.
- Type and confirm the password in the Add Password window and hit OK.
- From now, whenever someone tries to open this folder, he will be supposed to enter the password to open the file.

Advice Upgrade from Ubuntu 12 04 ONLY after backup
If you are planning to upgrade from Ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10, please first perform a full-system backup. At least back up all your data. The upgrade might not work.
Today, 11-27-2012, after attempting to update my main PC from Ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10, I could not make Ubuntu 12.10 work correctly. Despite using the recommended "proprietary, tested" Nvidia display driver, I could not stabilize my display:
This failure to upgrade surprised me because I had successfully installed Ubuntu 12.10 (through a live disc) onto my standby PC. I needed only fix the frozen-Dash problem and disable the unwanted Amazon ads. For more information, please see: Fixing and customizing Ubuntu 12.10, Repairing frozen Dash in Ubuntu 12.10, and Disabling Amazon shopping results in Ubuntu 12.10.
Personally, I do not plan to upgrade from Ubuntu 12.04 until the next long-term-support release is available. Although this is unfortunate, I am still an Ubuntu fan. In my opinion, its 12.04 release is superior to all other Linux distributions.

- The Unity launcher would not unhide smoothly.
- YouTube videos played in stop motion.
