New search views from GOOGLE

Google is always experimenting with new features aimed at improving the search experience. Google recently updated its features with some different and interesting visualizations. This feature is still under experiment which you can find it here.

Well, the searchers can look at map, timeline, and info views.

With map view, search results plot on a map that shows some of the key locations referenced in answers to the query. An "Update Results" button allows the searcher to see results for a given area of a map after zooming in or out of the view.

In timeline view, dates of events appear on a graph atop a search results page. The graph across the top of the page summarizes how dates in your results are spread through time, with higher bars representing a larger number of unique dates.

Info view returns what looks like standard search results. However, the right side of the page shows a new control panel, with links to dates, images, measurements, and locations, where applicable.

If you run a search and find many of your results are looking similar, try using info view. It may highlight the differences between results and help you select the best page for your needs.

There are some more experiments going on in Google Labs like Keyword Suggestions, Keyboard Shortcuts, Navigation Menus and Context menu search.

WMI Script Error - Code: 800A01AE, Error: Class doesn't support automation

Hey Friends,

I got some problems while trying to fetch the remote system inventory using gpinventory.exe.

When I execute gpinventory.exe, I am able to get the result for most of the computers but for some of the computers, it gives the error Access denied or Could not connect. I even stopped the firewall service in the remote computers, but still getting the same error.

When I tried to manually run a script to collect the inventory in these systems, I am getting an error saying


Error: Class doesn't support automation
Code: 800A01AE
Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error





I did some google, but couldn't find any solution.

Can any one help me in this regard?

Note: For your information, most of the system's registry permissions has been reset.

Problem with registry permissions

Hey Guys,

I faced a peculiar problem with all the client systems after transferring an existing local user profile (using TransWiz.exe) to a domain user. When I tried to install an application it wont let me install even with domain administrator privileges.

I monitored the activity of the registry using REGMON.EXE (Sysinternal Tool) while installing the application and regmon showed loads of Access Denied messages. I couldn't change the registry permission unless I login as a local user. The only way to solve this problem is to reset the registry permissions.

I did some google and had a chat with Giri and found out some DOS commands to reset the registry permissions.

Steps to reset the entire registry permissions to defaults:

1. Download and install SubInACL

2. Create a file named reset.cmd in C:\Program Files\Windows Resource
Kits\Tools folder.

3. Edit the regreset.cmd file with the following content.

subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=administrators=f

subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=system=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=system=f

4. Enter into CMD prompt.

5. Enter the following commands one at a time and click Enter.

cd "C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools"
regreset.cmd

6. This resetting process will run for 10 to 15 mins.

Note: Its not necessary to restart your system after this process.
Execution of regreset.cmd does not require administrator privileges.

Graphic Artists dream come true!!

I was just thinking this morning. What does innovation do to you? How do we react to innovation? I, for one, get a smile on my face when I see something innovative. Some of the innovations make us ask the question "Now, why didnt they think of this before?"

Now, here is something Wacom has made, which would revolutionize the work of a Graphic Artist. What I am talking about is the new Wacom Cintiq 12WX Graphic tablet. So how is it different from the rest of the graphic tablets? Well, its also a second display for your computer. So you can now draw on the tablet, and also have the copy of the image (on photoshop for example), right on your screen. Now, this is not evolutionary, this is revolutionary. Some time soon, even I could become an artist (just kidding!!).

And it costs $999, thats roughly around Rs 40,000. Not bad for a second display and graphic tablet bundled as one. In a year or two, we could expect the prices to slash atleast 50%.

The Top 100 PC Tech Innovations of All Time

This is a very interesting post that i found a couple of weeks back. It takes you through some of the best innovative technologies of all time. Some of my personal favorites are the iPod, Ctrl-Alt-Del, Solitaire. After reading this article, it makes me wonder how we take things for granted. If the hard disk for example, was not as compact as it is today, would we really have personal computing? Think about it...
