Difference between Delete Key and Backspace on your keyboard

No comments
keyboard DELETE and BACKSPACE
You might have been wondering why there are two delete keys on the keyboard! The truth is, they may look similar with ordinary look and functions might look the same at time but they are not the same.
Delete and Backspace function
"The Backspace Key" clears alphanumerical values, letters or images to the left from where the cursor is placed. From the above scenario, if we should press the backspace key, these following letters will be cleared ; o, s, t, r, a, p which forms "Parts o".
Similarly, if we should press the "Delete Key", the letters will be cleared to the right of where our cursor is placed. Thereby clearing "f a naijaconfirm".

3 Ways to Enable Administrator Account in Windows 7

3 Ways to Enable Administrator Account in Windows 7

The administrator account is a hidden, disabled and built-in account with Windows 7/Vista/xp. But a user can enable this account for some special actions. Such as troubleshooting, installing harmful software or some special networking tasks. By default, most of the user accounts are a part/member of the Administrator account. Others are standard accounts without being any part of an administrator account.


Windows disabled this account to prevent malicious programs and harmful activities on the system. So any special task of system needs administrative privilege and the annoying UAC (User Account Control) bar will pop up for the users, except the administrator account.

This post will show you how to enable Administrator account in three easy ways. Choose only one method from below to activate administrator account.

Method#1. Using command prompt:

Search cmd.exe in start menu and run cmd.exe as administrator.
Start menu > cmd.exe 


To enable Administrator account Type: net user administrator /active:yes

To enable administrator account 


Hit enter and the command should execute successfully.

Command line to disable this account: net user administrator /active:no
To disable administrator account 

Method#2. From Local Users and Groups

Go to control panel navigate to Administrative tools and computer management.
Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer management  
Expand the Local users and Groups arrow and select Users. Then, From the right pane, double-click on the Administrator.
Local users and Groups > Users & Administrator  
Un-check the "Account is disable" and it should be look like below.

Administrator account properties

OK it and your settings will be saved.

From here you can also disable the Administrator or other account.

Method#3. From Local Security Policy

Type secpol.msc in start menu and run it as administrator.
start menu > secpol.msc 

From this Local Security Policies, expand the security options under the Local Policies.

Find "Account: Administrator account status" from the right pane.
Local Security Policies 
Open the "Account: Administrator account status" and choose Enabled to enable it.
Administrator account status 


You can also disable it from here.

After completing any of above processes, reboot your PC or log off. Now you will see a new account "Administrator" which has no password by default. Log in to this account and enjoy the real administrator power of your PC.

Moving and Placing Images in Word Document

No comments
Following our last post on how to add images and clip art to your document, you might find it difficult moving the image from point to another. If you've used graphics applications before, you might expect to be able to simply drag the image and drop it where you need it. Though you can drag images and clip Art from one place to another in your document but you need to do something first.
This thing you have to do is called "TEXT WRAPPING", to text wrap
1. Left click on the image you want to move to make sure it is selected and then right click; a dialog like image below will appear.
2. Locate the word "wrap text" from the opened dialog and put your cursor over it
3. A new list of options will appear, click on any except "Behind Text or In Front of Text" and you'll be able to move the image.
N.B Text wrap as Behind text will move the image to the back of whatever you might have typed. If you want it that way, then select it. It is good and useful depending on what you're typing.
Text wrap as in front of text will move the image over the typed text and will cover what you have typed. Goodluck if you wish to use it.

ANOTHER WAY TO MOVE AN IMAGE

This method is  also text wrapping, don't think it'll be something new
1. Select the image you want to move and a tab called "format" will appear from the group of tabs above in your Msword interface. (see image below)
2. Left Click on the format tab and a new ribbon will appear
3. When the new ribbon opens, left click on the small arrow below "Wrap Text" (See image above) and select your desired wrap style. Hint: I usually use text wrap as "Tight or Through".

File Extensions and Explanation

No comments
The words file extension may sound as if it's something difficult to understand or funny to some ears, how can files be extended? asked by one of my students. File extension does not mean the elasticity of a file but it refers to the piece of alphanumerical values added to the name of a document at the end. An example of this is africaqueen2face.mp3
The above highlighted .mp3 is an example of file extension and this .mp3 is what that makes devices recognize africaqueen2face.mp3 as an audio file.
Contrarily, if the file africaqueen2face is saved as africaqueen2face.mp4 instead of .mp3; It means the file will now play as a video and not as an audio. More file extensions and their explanation.
