How To Remove Dual Boot in Windows – Get rid of the second OS

Steps to remove dual boot in Windows:

If you’ve properly installed a second operating system on your computer, there’s probably a folder containing its files on a separate partition. First step of getting rid of the second OS is as simple as deleting that folder. If you’ve been really smart and also installed all programs for that operating system in another partition, away from the program files of your primary operating system, then it’s wiser to just format that partition. In case your program files are mixed up, you will have to manually delete them.

Now, to remove the prompt at the boot screen, here’s what you need to do:

Step 1: Go to Start menu.

Step 2: Click Run (in case of Windows XP, Vista and 7) or right click the bottom left corner and click Run (in case of Windows 8).

Step 3: Type “msconfig”

Step 4: Go to the Boot tab. You should see your operating systems listed, with one being the Default OS. If the Default OS isn’t the one you want, simply highlight your primary OS and click “Set as Default”.

Step 5: Now highlight your secondary OS and click “Delete”.

That’s it, now your PC won’t prompt on boot to select an operating system.

Change Edit / Select "Top 200 Rows" – SQL Server 2008

The SQL Server 2005 Management Studio allows us to “Edit” and “View” the whole set of records in a table. But in SQL Server 2008 Management Studio, this flexibility was restricted. SQL Server 2008 by default allows us to select top 1000 records and allows us to edit top 200 records. If our records in a table are more than the default numbers, SQL Server 2008 won’t display those records or allows us to edit those records. We can increase those default value.

Steps:

1. Run the SQL Management Studio Express 2008

2. Click the Tools -> Options

3. Select SQL Server Object Explorer . Now you should be able to see the options

* Value for Edit Top Rows Command

* Value for Select Top Rows Command

4. Give the Values 0 here to select/ Edit all the Records

We successfully changed the default value to our desired value.

Beware! Your KYC papers may be misused

MUMBAI: Leaving your 'know your customer' (KYC) documents floating around can be dangerous for your financial well-being. Banks have discovered several cases of identity theft where fraudsters have created a new third-party identity using misappropriated KYC documents, such as copies of phone bills and PAN card, to avail of credit cards or loans.

Some weeks ago, a Mumbai resident found that his identity had been stolen and a fraudster had been using a credit card obtained by misappropriating his KYC documents. Besides this, there are several cases where identity theft attempts have been made, but have been nipped in the bud by banks using fraud detection software. 

In another case, a fraud attempt was detected after two applicants for a primary and add-on card provided details that differed from what was provided by identical applicants in another application. The fraud was detected because the bank used a fraud detection service called Hunter provided by Experian.

"Typically, the fraudster will provide most of the details of the fake identity but will change either the mobile phone or email to keep contact with the bank. Our software matches details provided by the individual in other applications and flags it as suspicious if there are too many discrepancies," said Mohan Jayaraman, MD, Experian Credit Information Company. Because it is a credit information company, Experian by law can retain information of borrowers on its database. 

According to Jayaraman, credit companies in the UK provide a service whereby borrowers can sign up and receive alerts every time a bank inquires about his credit history. Such credit checks are made at the time of granting loans or cards and an individual is immediately alerted if his identity is being misused. "Consumers need to be alert in disposing of their statements and should not dispose KYC documents to the 'raddi-walla'," he said. 

The other solution that financial advisers are recommending is that every time photocopies are issued for KYC purposes, the borrower should mention on the copy the purpose for which the documents are being issued. 

"Obtaining a credit profile from the credit bureau will give you an idea if your identity has been used by someone," said Rajiv Raj, founder of Creditvidya, a credit counseling firm. "A change in address should be immediately updated with all service providers. Otherwise this gives an opportunity for mail to be intercepted and misused."
