Here's a screenshot from a minesweeper session when I think I got pretty lucky.
















And this one is where I was stuck the longest (there were others too) but I couldn't make an intelligent guess about this one! Can you? Give it a shot. Which cell would you have clicked next?

Mount USB drives in Write Protect (read only) mode

Under the the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control

Create a new key called StorageDevicePolicies. In that key create a new DWORD value called WriteProtect and set it to 1.

This is known to work under Windows XP SP2, though you can try it on your other varioations of Windows.

Show difference between two Microsoft Word documents

So, you want to compare two versions of a doc (probably one circulated by you, and the other you received revised by somebody). Here's how to get it done:

1) Open the original document.
2) Go to menu 'Tools' > 'Compare and Merge Documents'
3) In the 'Open' dialog, point to the newer version of the document, and click open.
4) And you are done.

MS Word will show you the changes (like something new inserted, deleted, etc) with appropriate coloring.
