Disable turn off computer

This tip is very useful particularly for those users who want to restrict the common users to shutdown public computer in common areas.  You can disable the "Turn off Computer" button on the start menu and a common user will not "Turn Off, Restart and Stand By" a computer. Using registry editor, you can implement this task in all windows versions with minimum effort. 

 

Follow the given steps to disable Turn off Computer" button on the start menu:

 

To use this feature, you will need to be logged into your computer with administrative rights.

Click Start button and type regedit in Run option then press Enter for next.

 

 

Here locate the location to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer 

Here in right side panel, right click to create a new DWORD value with the name NoClose. 

 

 

Now assign number 1 in value data box and close the registry editor.

 

 

Now close the registry editor and restart your computer after any changes to go into effect.

But next time, if you want to enable "Turn Off Computer" button on start menu then simply change the value of data box to 0 or delete NoClose DWORD item.

Using Custom Number Formats

One of the most useful (and underutilized) features in Excel is the ability to create custom number formats. Although Excel offers a wide variety of standard number formats, it's often advantageous to develop custom formats. For example, if you use large values, you can scale the display of those values so they appear "in thousands." You can make 123,456,789 appear as 123,457 by applying this format:

 

  #,##0,

A number format consists of three parts: code for negative, code for zero, and code for positive values. The code for each part is separated with a semicolon. If you would like a cell to appear empty, use this format (which is three semicolons and nothing else):

 

;;;

To apply a custom number format:

 

·          Select the cell or range that you want to format

·          Choose the Format Cells command (or press Ctrl+1)

·          Click the Number tab on the Format Cells dialog box

·          Click the Custom category

·          Enter the number format code into the edit box labeled Type.

 

Rather than provide a complete tutorial on custom number formats, I refer you to Excel's help. You'll find a comprehensive reference for the formatting codes.

 

NOTE: It's important to understand that a number format affects only the way in which the number appears. A number format does not change the underlying value in the cell.

Tips to reduce eyestrain

Ø  Modify your workstation. Adjust your workstation and chair to the correct height.
Use proper lighting.

Ø  Match the computer screen to the brightness of the environment. The contrast between the background and on-screen characters should be high.

Ø  Minimise the glare. Use window shades, blinds or drapes to block excessive sunlight or install an anti-glare screen to minimise reflections.

Ø  Take frequent breaks. Full-time computer users should take a 10 minute break every hour.

Ø  Blink more often. Tears in the eye evaporate more rapidly during long non-blinking phases and cause dry eyes.

Ø  Get an eye examination done.

Ø  Re-focus your eyes. Look away from your computer screen every 10-15 minutes and focus for 5-10 seconds on a distant object.

Ø  Exercise even when sitting. Move about or exercise frequently.

Ø  Get sufficient sleep. Fatigue promotes eyestrain.

Healthy summer diet

1. Water is the best option to quench thirst: It is a key ingredient in keeping the body cool. With high humidity levels, sweat will not evaporate quickly. This prevents the body from releasing heat in an efficient manner. This is why it is necessary to hydrate and drink water, even when you are not thirsty. Increase water intake regardless of your activity levels.

2. Avoid caffeinated or carbonated beverages and those high in sugar: All these drinks contain preservatives, colours and sugars. They are acidic in nature and act as diuretics. They cause loss of fluids through urine. Many soft drinks contain diluted phosphoric acid, which damages the inner lining of the digestive tract and, therefore, affects its functions. An excessive intake of soft drinks increases phosphorous levels in the blood. This separates calcium from the bones and moves it into the blood.

3. Do not drink very chilled liquids: They do not really help cool you down in summers, though they make you cool for some time. Drinking really cold liquids when feeling hot may lead to a slight constriction of the blood vessels in the skin and decrease heat loss, which is not advisable when trying to cool down.

4. Limit all strenuous activity.

5. Eat light, nutritious and non-fatty meals.

6. Reduce intake of heaty vegetables and fruits, like spinach, radish, hot peppers, onions, garlic, beetroot, pineapple, grapefruit and ripe mangoes (if you cannot resist mangoes, soak them overnight in water).

7. Minimise the intake of dried fruits. Increase the intake of fresh fruit.

8. Use sabza (tulsi seeds) in your drinks -- this has very cooling effect on the body.

9. Include lots of fruits and vegetables in the form of salads and fresh juices, preferably without sugar, in your diet.

10. Drink lemon juice, coconut water and thin buttermilk, to replenish the fluids that are lost in sweat.

11. Avoid sugary foods, especially honey and molasses, and stick to natural sugars available from fruits and veggies.

12. Minimise the intake of hot, spicy foods and extremely salty foods. The body retains salt in the organic form found in fruits and veggies; the inorganic salt, meanwhile, is digested and needs to be thrown out of the body.

13. Cut the intake of fried foods, like vadas, samosas, chips, bhajias, farsans, etc. Fat has a thermal effect.

14. Maintain good hygiene levels: Since the sultry heat of summer increases with each degree rise in the mercury, by rooting ourselves to nature's provision of healthful food choices we can experience the bloom of our health and vitality.
