How to Show Hidden Files Folders of a Flash Drive Caused by Virus


Show Hidden Files


USB flash drive or Memory Card is a great device for sharing files and folders, audio and video, software etc. But at the same time this type of device is also responsible for spreading virus too! A virus can be easily copied from one PC to another by USB flash drives. 


When a PC has no virus protection or not having enough protection be careful when inserting your flash drive in that PC. Because it can affect the software or program stored on it. And other  files like image, audio or video generally not affected by virus. But they may be hidden permanently. 


So, in this post, I am gonna show how to view the hidden files of a flash drive. Lets find out how.
  1. Open My Computer.
  2. Now click on Folder Options located under tools menu. 
  3. Now hit on View Tab.
  4. Now select the Show hidden files and folders.
  5. Deselect both Hide protected operating files and Hide extensions for known file types.
  6. Now click on Apply > OK.

Note: This system works for all versions of windows. But in windows 7 and 8 you may not find the menu bar. In windows 7 to show menu bar press the Alt key then select the tools menu. And Windows 8 users will find it in Windows Explorer at the top right corner of the screen located under view tab named as Options




Tips: To protect your files from viruses you can simply store the files in .zip format. Because a virus cant enter into the zipped files normally. To do so, first select the files you wanna zip and then click right button of mouse and send to Compressed (zipped) folder

Performance Enhancing Gut Microbes First Study to Show Having The Right Gut Bugs Doubles Exercise Endurance

Yogurt & Co are good for athletes. But is this due to the bacteria?
As a regular here at the SuppVersity, you are well aware of the far-reaching effects of having the "right" or "wrong" bacteria in your tummy. The claim that having the "right" bacterial make-up in the gut could have beneficial effects on your performance in the gym or on the track is something you should not believe too credulously. If we had a study to prove these benefits, things would be different, though - a study like the one a group of researchers from the National Taiwan Sport University are about to publish in the scientific bible of resistance training, the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research (Hsu. 2014).

In said study which is still available only as an accepted manuscript, Hsu et al. investigated the association of intestinal bacteria and exercise performance in specific pathogen-free (SPF), germ-free (GF), and Bacteroides fragilis (BF) gnotobiotic mice (animals in which only certain known strains of bacteria and other microorganisms are present).

The Macrobiotic MaPi2.0 Diet
To this ends, the scientist had the rodents swim to exhaustion to determine whether enteric bacteria alter antioxidant enzyme levels, exercise performance and physical fatigue. In addition, they tested the antioxidant enzyme activities, physical performance and anti-fatigue function after monocolonizing GF mice with B. fragilis (BF).
Figure 1: Time to exhaustion during exercise test and body composition of the miceaccording to the make-up of their gut microbiome; data expressed relative to group means (Hsu. 2014)
What they found was an increased time to exhaustion for the previously germ-free (GF) mice after theyd been colonized with B. fragilis (BF). Similar results were observed for the specific pathogen-free and Bacteroides fragilis gnotobiotic mice, who were also more enduring than the obesity resistant (Bäckhed. 2007) germ-free mice.
Do we have human data, as well? No, we dont have human data thats comparable to the one presented in the study at hand, but we do have evidence of beneficial (ergogenic) effects of probiotics and prebiotics in human "athletes". Examples? Well, the oral administration of the probiotic Lactobacillus fermentum VRI-003 and mucosal immunity in endurance athletes (Cox. 2010). Improved oxidative status in athletes during intense exercise training (Martarelli. 2011). Reduced risk of infection (Gleeson. 2011; West. 2011). And if thats not enough, what about keeping on top of your game by preventing and managing travellers’ diarrhoea (Tillett. 2006)!
As any SuppVersity veteran would expect, the germ-free mice were leaner than the rest of the pack. At the same time, the "sterile" mice did yet also have a lower liver, muscle, brown adipose, and epididymal fat pad weight than the SPF and BF mice.
Figure 2: Selected markers of antioxidant status in serum and liver; expr. rel. to group means (Hsu. 2014)
The markers of antioxidant defenses, the scientists measured were highest in the lean + light germ-free mice and their specific pathogen-free cousins. Against that background its at least somewhat surprising that the performance differences are pretty significant.
Pre- instead of probiotics: Personally, I believe that prebiotics, i.e. substances that promote the growth of the "right" bacteria are more promising agents than probiotics ("live" bacteria). Studies have shown that prebiotic at dosages above 2.5 g, which is far higher than that occurring in natural foods, increases the abundance of lactic acid and butyrate-producing bacteria. In that, galacto-oligo- saccharides (GOS) and  fructo-oligo- saccharides (FOS), are the prebiotics with the most positive outcomes.
As West points out in a 2012 mini-review as part of the BJSM "A–Z of nutritional supplements" series, the "potential benefits of supplementation with prebiotics on athletic performance are most likely indirect: they may be associated with the maintenance of gut health and perhaps a reduced risk of some illnesses which might enhance the athlete’s ability to train and compete." (West in DiMarco. 2012). Altering GI microbiota through the use of prebiotics may yet also favourably influence host metabolism. Athletes who are dieting, for example, will benefit from the reduction in appetite increase in gut peptide concentration in response to thec consumption of 16 g per day of FOS (Cani. 2009).
So what are the practical implications, then? As the authors emphasize, "[t]his is the first study to show that the intestinal microflora plays an important role in exercise performance." The way the microbial make-up regulates the antioxidant enzyme defense system is yet not in line with the observed reduction in physical fatigue Hsu et al. observed in the study at hand.

In view of the fact that the general assumption is that " intensive and sustained exercise training and high-level competition generate large amounts of free radicals that likely exceed the buffering capacity of the biological system, leaving athletes susceptible to oxidative stress", you would expect the Bacteriodes fragilis mice to perform the worst.

On the other hand, the mice harboring Bacteroides fragilis are significantly more muscular than the lightweight germfree mice... well, we could continue this discussion forever, but eventually the one result that may have a practical implication is the increased performance after mono-colonization in the germ-free mice. If nothing else, this result which happens to be the first evidence of performance enhancing effects of having a gut microbiome, would imply that you better recolonize your gut as soon as possible after a course of antibiotics. How the various different microbial status might regulate performance, on the other hand, will have to be elucidated in future studies - human (!) studies, that is | Comment on Facebook!

Show Post Title before Blog Title in Search Results


Optimize Blogger Post Title in Search Results


If youre using blogger for your blog then you may notice search engines show your Blog Title first instead of Post Title. Certainly this will affect the flow of visitors in your site. Because when someone is searching for a topic he would like to click on the site that matches his search words. But if your blog title appears first then the visitors may skip your site! 

Today Im gonna discuss about how can you optimize the issue of blog title and post title in search result. And remember, this trick is for blogger only. Before you start, look at the image below:

Show Post Result before Blog Title in Search Results

What do you see here? A search topic like that- Cell phone quality using IMEI. Also look at the first 2 results. The first one showing- How to Check Cell Phones Quality Using IMEI. The second one showing- Tips n Tricks: How to Check Cell Phones Quality Using IMEI. 

In the second search result the Blog Name Appears first. Tips n Tricks doesnt match the search result. 

But in the first result you notice that Marks PC Solution appears first. But blog name is not showing first. Rather you can see the Post Name. So which one should you visit as a visitor? Certainly the first link. 

Now follow the simple instructions below to apply this on your blogger site. 
  1. Sign in to your blogger account and go to the Dashboard or Design
  2. Now go to the Template option and Click on Edit HTML. (Please Backup your template if youre a beginner)
  3. You will see the Template window. Press Ctrl + F and type the red colored code in the search box to find it:  <title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
  4. Now select the red marked code and replace it with the following code:
<b:if cond=data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;><title><data:blog.pageName/> | <data:blog.title/></title> <b:else/><title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title></b:if>
Youre almost done! Now save the template and close it. 


You may not be able to see the effect immediately. Because search engines might require few days to update their databases or crawl your blog. However you can see the effect immediately in your browsers tab. Hope it will boost your sites traffic. And certainly it will be helpful for SEO too.

Show your Recent Blog Posts as Headline !!








Recent posts widget can increase your page views to a great extent. When someone is on your blog and reading a topic he may find another topic useful from recent post list. So adding a recent posts widget is also important for attracting readers to stay long in your site. 

But there maybe many other widgets in your blog. And adding too much widget is boring and it also looks odd. 

Today Im gonna share a code with you. This code will show your recent posts as headline! And certainly it will be space effective. It will take space just as a single line. All you need to do, is just add an HTML/ JavaScript gadget at the top of your site. 

  1. First, sign in to your blogger account and go to design.
  2. Then hit on layout button from the left pane.
  3. Click on Add a Gadget (Select gadget from top).
  4. Choose HTML/ JavaScript.
  5. Now copy and paste the following code into the content box.
  6. Now save the gadget and view your blog.

<script style="text/javascript" src="https://sites.google.com/site/munnamark/test/Recent%20Post%20Headline%20Widget.js?attredirects=0&d=1"> </script><script style="text/javascript"> var nMaxPosts = 7; var sBgColor; var nWidth; var nScrollDelay = 175; var sDirection="left"; var sOpenLinkLocation="S"; var sBulletChar="•"; </script> <script style="text/javascript" src="http://munnamark.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=json-in-script&callback=RecentPostsScrollerv2"> </script><span style="font-size: 55%;" > <a target = "_blank" http://munnamark.blogspot.com/2012/11/show-your-recent-blog-posts-as-headline.html " >Get this Widget</a>


Remember, here I used my blog link. You must change the red part of the code with your blog name. And just change the red part. Nothing else.



Customization: You can also customize the code as below.


  • Max Posts = 7. That means how many posts will be shown. You can change this as 5, 6 or more.
  • Scroll Delay = 175. If you write 100, it will increase the speed. And if you wanna make it slower then use more than 175.
  • Direction = Left. That means your post will be moved from right to left. You can also use right.

How to Show the File Location in MS Word and Excel



Document File Path


In MS Word and Excel you can show the location of your file (File Path). Usually the file path is placed at the footer of the document. And when it is placed at the document footer, it automatically appears at the each page of that document. 


Why to Use the File Path (Location of the File): 

Well this is really important for those people who want to keep the source of the document printed with it. If the file path is printed with the document then it is quite easier for us to trace the path next time when you search for it on the hard disk. It looks like the image below: 

File Location on the Document Footer

Thus it is easier for you to locate a saved document. 


Why You Shouldnt Use the File Path: 

Definitely it is revelation of information. If the file is a highly classified document and if the file path is used there, then others (who do not have access to that file) might be accessed that file through the path printed with the document! For example: it may be the question of the Varsity Admission Test or Job Test. 


How to Show the File Path in a Document: 

Well this is not a difficult task but really tough to find if you are not familiar with this option previously. And I will discuss about how to show the file path as well as how to hide. I am an user of Office 2010. But dont like to avoid the Office 2003 users. :) 


Show/ Hide File Path in Office 2003: 

Ms Word 2003: There are two ways available for you to do this task. You can follow any of the two methods. But at first you have to make sure that the file is previously saved. If you apply this to an unsaved document then it will show only Document 1 instead of showing the file path. 

Method 1: Open a Document > Go to the View Menu > Choose Header and Footer > Go to the Footer > Insert Auto Text > Hit on Filename and Path. Done! 

Take help of the image below: 


Insert File Path from Header and Footer Option


Method 2: Somewhat difficult. Open a Document > View Menu > Header and Footer > Go to Footer > Insert Menu > Field > Choose Document Information from Categories > Select FileName from Field Names section > Select Add path to filename from the right most column > Hit Ok. Finish. 

Look at the image below: 

Insert File Location from Field


MS Excel 2003: 

There is only one method and this is very easy. Open a previously created MS Excel Book. Simply go to the View Menu. Click on the Header and Footer option. Now select Edit Footer.  Here you you can insert the file path.  



Show/ Hide File Path in Office 2007 and 2010: 

Here the procedure is somewhat different from Office 2003. Because Office 2007 and 10 has the ribbon instead of menu. 


MS Word 2007 and 2010: 

Dont know why the Auto Text doesnt show the file path. But you can insert the file path from field. 

First you have to open a saved document. Then go to the footer (Just double click on the footer margin to activate footer). Now go to the Insert Menu > Quick Parts from the right side > Hit on the down arrow and choose Field > Select Document Information from Categories > Choose FileName > Mark Add Path to FileName. Done! 


Insert File Path in Office 2010 from Field


MS Excel 2007 and 2010: 

Open a saved excel book. Go to the Insert Menu > Hit on the Header & Footer from the right side of the ribbon > A new menu will appear named Design > Now move to the Document Footer > Select File Path > Done. 

Look at the images below: 



Field option under insert menu



Insert File Path in Excel 2010


How to Remove the File Path? 

You may notice that I have only talked about how to insert file path. But nothing was discussed about how to remove it! If you have already inserted the file path and cant remove it then simply go to the footer. Press Ctrl + A and hit the delete button to remove everything from footer. Or just select the file path from the footer and delete it. Thats it.
