CTRL+B = bold
CTRL+I = italicize

NumLock, Off the Bat

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

Q: Is it possible to instruct PCs to keep the numerical lock always on at start-up? My company’s passwords include numerical characters, and most of the time my colleagues and I forget to hit the NumLock key when we log on. Instead of stepping up the morning caffeine, I would prefer a safe, permanent fix.-Jorge de la Rosa

A: Yes, there are two ways to do this. The first requires access to your system BIOS setup. Most BIOS setup programs have an Enable NumLock entry you can set so that NumLock will be on at boot time.

The other way is to edit the system Registry. Note that you need to be comfortable editing the Registry, and you should back up your Registry before any edit. If you have Windows XP, click Start | Run; if you have Windows Vista, type Run in Windows Vista’s search box. In either operating system, type Regedit in the resulting dialog box. In the Registry editor, find the Registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Keyboard. There you’ll find a key called InitialKeyboard Indicators. If it’s set to anything other than 2, double-click on it and set it to 2. Hit Enter. Source

Big SYS Files Are Okay

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

Q.I found two files, named Hiberfil.sys and Pagefile.sys, that take up a huge amount of space on my computer’s hard drive. What are they for? Is it safe to delete them?

A. This question comes up quite often. The simple answer is, don’t touch! Pagefile.sys is the file that’s used to create virtual memory for your computer. This allows it to act as if it has much more than its physical memory. If a program requests some amount of memory and it’s not available, the computer “pages out” some memory from another program that hasn’t been accessed lately—that is, it copies the memory to a location within Pagefile.sys. When that other program needs the paged-out memory, the system copies it back into actual memory for use.

Hiberfil.sys is used whenever the computer hibernates—it copies the entire contents of physical memory to disk (to Hiberfil.sys) and then shuts off. For hibernation to be available, the computer must keep that file in place, so it can be sure it will have enough free disk space to store the memory’s contents.

If you don’t actually use the hibernation feature, you can get rid of Hiberfil.sys by disabling that feature. From Control Panel launch the Power Options applet. Click the Hibernate tab and uncheck the box that enables hibernation, then click OK. The Hiberfil.sys file should now be gone. If not, reboot and delete it manually. Source
