I would make more tricks. That are way to less tricks. Go on, not my fav site but better then all i ever did. (i did nothing so this isnt a compliment ) No, serious, Go on and make it more "overviewable" (can i say that in english?) and add more tipps and the website would be great.

Can I also point out that your "Ultra Hidden Folder" or whatever isn't truly hidden at all from anyone who has a clue about file and folder attributes. All you're doing is setting the folder with attributes (some of which you don't need).

-a = archive (are you looking to back this up? No...)
-r = readonly (does it matter if it's read only? No...)
-h = hidden (This hides it from normal prying eyes)
-s = system (This hides it because it's thought to be essential to the working of the system.)

If someone were a clever system administrator, they would simply open an explorer window and click on Tools >> Folder Options.
Click on the "View" tab and scroll down to "Hidden Files and Folders". If you set that to "Show hidden..." then you can see any file even if it has the "=h" attribute.

Just below that setting (two down) is the other one, "Hide protected system files (Recommended)" which when deactivated, allows you to see any file or folder with the "-s" attribute. But keep in mind, this also exposes all system files, including ones needed for proper operation system functions. (The most common mistake I hear is that someone deleted a file called ntldr... Well, boom. You lost your OS, now go and repair from disk).

Of course, Microsoft wouldn't give you a point and click way of adding the system attribute, they expect you not to play with it. But they needed to leave the option available, so you can set the system attribute through command line. This is NOT encouraged.

You should also keep in mind that although you cannot see the folder in explorer, you can still see the folder information in the status bar revealing the presence of system and hidden objects.

The point still stands. That ain't hidden and try not to plaster it across the net. You don't want people messing with their system files and blaming you for it.

As for the Bush trick. Yes, that works... Shady how it predicted 1: Bush's ascent to office, 2:His determination for the war, 3: Political connotations associated. We could call all that planned... Or simply dismiss it as coincidental file pattern misunderstanding due to having a file with a common byte header. I think the latter is more likely.

However, do not take this as an attack, quite the opposite. People should learn these 'tricks' and like magicians, learn how the 'trick' is done. Then you have a much greater understanding of the system you rely on...

Edit: I just saw your 'trick' for entering a PC without knowing the password. You have failed to mention a LOT!
1: This will ONLY work on XP HOME and not Pro because:
2: You are exploiting Microsoft's and the end user's ignorance.

What is happening on this is, you're simply asking to log into the "administrator" account. This is nothing special and quite common place for an administrator. However, Microsoft, being the vulnerability kings that they are made it so that when you install XP Home edition, you have an administrator account set up without you knowing and it is set with NO password!!! This is stupid... Very... However, due to poor documentation (being that MS don't want to appear dumb), the end user never gets told, so they happily use XP HOME without ever knowing that they have a huge gaping back door open...

If you install XP Pro, it asks you for an administrator password during install. On XP home, you can boot into safe mode, enter the administrator's account and change the password. Either way, lock it down people. If this guy can come and post the entry method without realising the implications, how many people can read it and successfully realise the implications. As a computer (puke a little) guru, I fully understand that if this kind of vulnerability were left open on a system with RDC active and an unsecured network... Well... Y'know...

Again, no disrespect intended, but that's something I tell people to AVOID, not USE!

Edit: I won't say anything other than, if you use that site, check what you're doing. There's a lot of information about these 'tricks' that aren't there and should be, for your safety.

Although my previous post is long, it's well worth reading being that it points out huge flaws in these 'tricks' and also gives the information about why you SHOULDN'T use these 'tricks'. The information is very sparse on the site and doesn't include any information of WHY these 'tricks' do what they do...

A good analogy would be a mechanic saying "a quick replacement for a fan belt is a pair of ladies tights." He misses out the fact that it is an inefficient replacement and is only meant as a temporary fix, being that it won't take long for the tights to break.

Some of the 'tricks' he gives you are quite dangerous...

Well... Despite my second request to read my post, you seem to miss the fact that you are advising people to use a security loophole in windows to bypass the password, which 1: can be construed as illegal. 2: encourages people to leave that loophole open.

No doubt it works... It works because you're exploiting people... That's BAD!
