One of the most important parts of the computer is the RAM( Random Access Memory). Your information is stored in RAM before being accessed by any other part of the computer. You computers keep a part of the memory disk as virtual memory in case your RAM runs out or starts to slow down the computer. Virtual Memory is an option you can use to give your computer a "little extra" memory, which can help speed things up if most of your RAM is being used up. The only downside to this method is that your virtual memory uses space on your hard disk to give you that little bit extra speed. To change the virtual memory in windows follow these steps:

Step 1: Right click on My Computer and select Properties.

Mystery # 1

Folder Name:

In Windows XP you can not create a folder by the name of CON

Try it out yourself it can't be done!


The why:

 It’s pretty simple, Con is a reserved name from the early days from DOS, it stands for the “CONSOLE” I/O device, Since it is already used by the system. If we create one with some evil tricks then the system will get confused. There will be an ambiguity.

Like Con, many other reserve words are there which we can’t create. They are
PRN - It stands for printer.
AUX - It stands for Auxiliary device.
COM0, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9 - They stands for serial ports.

NUL - It stands for Bid Bucket.
LPT1, LPT2 - They stands for Parallel ports.

Pakistanis have a long tradition of being enemy of themselves. If given a chance (which is also provided by the corruption) they would charge an arm and a leg for just a piece of bread. This becomes a bit problematic specially on special occasions like Eid ul-Fitr, and Eid al-Adha. As witnessed by the people on these occasion most of the people charge higher prices for commodities then the usual rate which is not only illegal but also ethically wrong. Shopkeepers including milk seller, butchers, bakers all are into the scam of illegally profiteering from their own people including TELENOR PAKISTAN. Wait a minute! You might be wondering why I included a telecommunication company and specially Telenor Pakistan into this? well, say no more.. Today I will show you proof that Telenor is not only carrying this awful tradition but they are proudly showing it off on their website!
