New Year’s Eve 2013
Some parts of the world have entered 2014, while the Pacific Timers are still in 2013. I heard it is called “New Year’s Eve”.
Well, We will be joining the rest of the world celebrating 2014 in a few hours. Hawaii will also join later.
The End of 2013 is Nigh
In one day, 2013 will end and 2014 begins. A lot happened in 2013 and it is definitely not a lost year in Tech. We are looking forward to the next batch of 365 days.

Thursday morning, the day after Christmas 2013 I received a call from someone who needed help. “Fred” callously clicked on an attachment from a phising email purporting from Amazon.com.
After that, he kept seing Windows User Account Control (UAC) asking for confirmation to load some executable file.
Clicking “No” did not really help because UCA kept popping up subsequently.
I booted Windows 7 into “Safe Mode with Command Prompt” and launched Registry Editor (regedit.exe).
I located load command in the registry.
ComputerHKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWindows”
delete the content from the “Load” key.
