    How to install the Microsoft Loopback adapter in Windows

    XP

    The Microsoft Loopback adapter is a testing tool for a virtual network environment where network access is not
    available. Also, you must use the Loopback adapter if there are conflicts with a network adapter or with a
    network adapter driver. You can bind network clients, protocols, and other network configuration items to the
    Loopback adapter, and you can install the network adapter driver or network adapter later while retaining the
    network configuration information. You can also install the Loopback adapter during the unattended installation
    process.

    the TCP/IP properties are configured to use DHCP, the adapter will eventually use an autonet address
    (169.254.x.x/16) because the adapter is not actually connected to any physical media.

    Note By default, TCP/IP properties are configured to use DHCP. changing the default location of program

    Hi all members

    Salamz..

    as per request i recieved here I would like to share a trick to password protect the folder using Notepad..

    Follow these instruction.

    1. Open Notepad and copy the code below

    2. Change your password in the code it's shown the place where to "type your password here".

    3. Save file as locker.bat

    4. Now double click on locker.bat

    5. I t will create folder with locker automatically for you. After creation of the locker folder, place the contents
    you want to lock inside the locker folder and run locker.bat again .

    <---The code, copy the whole thing---->

    cls

    @ECHO OFF

    title Folder Locker

    if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B303… goto UNLOCK

    if NOT EXIST Locker goto MDLOCKER

    :CONFIRM
    echo Are you sure u want to Lock the folder(Y/N)

    set/p "cho=>"

    if %cho%==Y goto LOCK

    if %cho%==y goto LOCK

    if %cho%==n goto END

    if %cho%==N goto END

    echo Invalid choice.

    goto CONFIRM

    :LOCK

    ren Locker "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B303…

    attrib +h +s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B303…

    echo Folder locked

    goto End

    :UNLOCK

    echo Enter password to Unlock folder

    set/p "pass=>"

    if NOT %pass%== type your password here goto FAIL

    attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B303…

    ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B303… Locker

    echo Folder Unlocked successfully

    goto End

    :FAIL

    echo Invalid password

    goto end

    :MDLOCKER

    md Locker

    echo Locker created successfully

    goto End

    :End
    Yeah, you can save you private data for free but here the catch, you can edit your password by right clicking the
    bat file and select "edit". In order to prevent someone changing your password, try change the file name and
    extension such as "system.dat".

    Hope my answer is helpful to you..
