Photorec the ultimate tool for recovering damaged|lost multimedia files


This is a must have   recover deleted photos tool for all computer users.This software recovers all types of files  from  hard disks, CD-ROMs, memory cards (Compact Flash, Memory Stick, SecureDigital/SD, SmartMedia, Microdrive, MMC, etc.), USB memory drives, DD raw image, EnCase E01 image, etc..This tool is a specialist in recovering lost or accidentally deleted photos from all types of memory cards even from Ipod.Is it not a good news for all of us.This tool is a boon to photographers who often format their mmc cards.This cool tool supports all platforms such as
    *  DOS/Win9x
    * Windows NT 4/2000/XP/2003/Vista
    * Linux
    * FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD
    * Sun Solaris
    * Mac OS X
While other recovery softwares rely on file systems.This software doesnot rely on file systems to recover hence it can recover data even the file system is completely damaged.let us understand how any recovering tool works Any file system stores data in clusters or datablocks in continous locations.When a file is deleted the metainformation about the file such as file name,date, time,size are lost but the data is still present on the system until is overwritten so there is a good chance to recover lost data .
Download this tool from here Photorec .After downloading the file extract to anywhere you like .Since mine is windows system ill show you how to recover in windows.Navigate to the folder where You have extracted locate the photorec_win.exe file now right click on it and run as administrator 

Now the command line interface opens up, from the list of disks select the disk you wish to recover.Here i have chosen my pendrive to recover

Next it asks to select the filesystem ,since this makes its work easier

  Again press enter key to display the memory device

Depending on the type file system select ext2/ext3 for ext file system,for remaining file systems select other since mine is a fat32 system i have selected other option and pressed enter.
Next it asks for the space to be analyzed whether free space to be analyzed or whole .Here there is a small logic according to photorec free space means the are which is made free by accidentaly deleting files.So i opted for free space option .
In the next step it asks where to save the recovered files give the location other than from which you are recovering files

It does the remaining job .Sorry friends for posting such a long post .But this post has got high level of importance thanku for ur patience so that you came this long .
Hurray see my recovered photos

Launch start menu type Problem reporting settings 

Now select Choose how to report problems

God mode in windows 7



God mode is creating folder from which you can control all the options present in your Win7 system.God mode is also referred as Master control panel.The trick to create Masterontrolpanel is very simple.Create a folder on your desktop and rename it with Master Control Panel.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} 
Now see the magic double click on the Master Control Panel icon. now let me tell how does this work .Windows uses GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) for every single object and when you created with GUID then windows checks in the registry for corresponding GUID in HKCR\CLSID and launches the coressponding application.See for yourself
in this picture

You can also use Guids to create
