"Auto Complete Passwords"

Hi Techies!!
Remember the Windows "Password Remember" prompt, each time you login to a new website?? Here's some freaking information about the magic box.

For some sites, we don't require the auto login , and so might choose "No" in the dialog box. This may end with the dialog box not being displayed ever. So just follow the steps below if you want the prompt back.

* Enter the site and double click the login field

* This displays a list of usernames that are Auto saved.

* Highlight the Username and click "Delete".

Now try logging in and you are again with the same dialog box.

This can also be acheived with a simple registry setting, if the above isn't working for you....

* Start ==> Run ==> Enter "Regedit"

* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\IntelliForms\SPW

* You can see a list of encrypted passwords.

* Now select the SPW key and click "Delete".

Every password that you enter is saved with a unique SPW key, whether you select "YES" or "NO".

But the Auto complete data is saved in a different storage:


HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Protected Storage System Provider


Each of the passwords can be decrypted with various tools available.

Find IP address from Mail ID

Hello Freinds, I am back with some more cool tricks this time that can save you from various security threats.

Now i am gonna just tell you, how easy it is to find the IP address of the person who has sent a mail in Yahoo.

(The information is meant only for security use and any misuse can be liable to punishment)

* Login to your account and Open the mail.

* On the right-top corner, click Options ==> Select "Standard Headers".

* There you are with all the ip addresses of the person who sent you the mail.

Check the ip address aside to the from:

But the mail sometimes may not come directly from his/her pc. Inorder to deviate the user the mail is passed through many gateways and then finally sent. And to trace out the IP address in such a case find the last "From :" and check the IP there.
