How to Reset Your Windows Password
The easiest way to reset a forgotten Windows password is to use a previously created password-reset disk. You can create such a disk (on USB removable media or a floppy) within the Windows User Accounts menu by opening the Windows Control Panel, selecting User Accounts, and clicking Create a password reset disk in the left pane. You should take this step with a new PC; once you have the disk, you can insert it when starting the PC to cause Windows to display the 'Reset password' option at the login screen, allowing you to regain access to your system. However, if you don’t have a password-reset disk and you need to reset your Windows password, I suggest using the following Sticky Keys trick.

Free Ways to Synchronize Folders Between Computers
I've taken a look at the Dropbox website and signed up for the Beta. It looks great in principle, but since it's not yet available to the public. I can't actually comment on using it. In the meantime, here's my feedback on the apps that I currently use. Foldershare The good:- I've been using Foldershare for a while now, and it has performed really well. I like the fact that (once everything is set up) you can just leave it running in the background. The bad: I think Microsoft really need to simplify the set up process. Synctoy Synctoy is simply brilliant, and I haven't had any issues with it at all. Going forward, I would like to be able to sync, back up and access files remotely, so remote servers are probably the way forward for me.

BootMed (32-bit version) description, Hard Disk Downloads List By 30 Day Change
BootMed is not a program. It's an Ubuntu-based boot disc tailored (or "remixed," in BootMed jargon) with the idea of recovering failed or malware-infected Windows PC installations. More than that, it's also aimed at helping less tech-savvy users through the process. The first thing BootMed does after booting is open Firefox and browse to the BootMed site to display help and advice on recovery operations. I'm sure the idea of using Linux to help teach Windows users how to recover their files has invoked a few chuckles amongst the Linux community as well as grimaces from Microsoft, though it's nothing radically new: I use Slax and Parted Magic all the time to recover data from Windows PCs. BootMed is not dead-simple--you must at least understand the concepts involved and be fairly proficient at navigating a file system--but it's a boon for less experienced users that want to learn the basic processes of recovery and of course, recover things. --Jon L.
