TO, CC, and BCC in email explained

What is the the Difference between CC and BCC fields in the email sending

Well the abbreviations of these are: 

• CC stands for Carbon Copy

And

• BCC stands for Blind Carbon Copy

Now

Let me explain their usage through the example.

Suppose you are sending an email to some group of people and you entered emails like below

TO: advertisement@example.com
CC: yourBoss@example.com; YourManager@example.com
BCC: ClientA@example.com; ClientB@example.com; ClientC@example.com

Now when you send this, the below will be in effect.

1. To: These people can see all the email addresses in CC and BCC field including his own email addresses.
2. CC: These people can also see the email addresses in all the fields i.e. in TO, CC, and also in BCC.
3. BCC: These people can see the email addresses in TO and CC field, but they CANNOT see each others email addresses. i.e. ClientA@example.com do not know that the email is also sent to ClientB@example.com and ClientC@example.com, also ClientB do not know about ClientA and ClientC, and likewise ClientC do not know about ClientA and ClientB.

Remove Windows 8 and Install Windows 7

Remove Windows 8 and Install Windows 7

If you are not able to boot from a media to install windows 7 on the hardware you purchased with Windows 8, here is a simple way.

You should arrange Windows 7 driver for your hardware before going for it, else you will be stuck with a nearly useless machine after Windows 7.


Both steps to be performed in Bios.

Step 1:
Disable Secure Boot

Step 2:
Enable Legacy Boot.

Now you will be able to select your USB or DVD etc to boot from.

How to do it in bios is different with every manufacturer. So I can't mention steps here, however you should yourself search in Bios Settings.

Some of the names of Bios Settings may appear as:

• Bios
• Setup
• System Configuration
• Settings

This will be at the time of boot and require pressing Key like F9 or F10 etc. to enter to the settings.

Worked for me.

Best of Luck.

Hiding a User account from Windows login screen

Hiding a User account from Windows Login Screen

For a client, I usually activate administrator account, assign password, and hide it from the login screen. If client knows computers, and asks for it, Yes I tell the password, and do not hide it.

But if the client is not well aware of administrator account, I do not tell them.

Lets come to the point.

To hide any account,

1. In Windows 7 type in start, and in Windows XP, type in Run :  regedit.exe and press enter (a registry editor will be opened).
2. goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
3. In the left panel, right click on Winlogon and click New and click Key.
4. Type SpecialAccounts and press Enter (Case Sensitive).
5. In the left panel, right click on SpecialAccounts and click New and click Key.
6. Type UserList and press Enter (Case Sensitive).
7. In right panel of UserList, right click on a empty area and click New then click DWORD (32bit) Value.
8. Type in the name of the user account that you want to hide and press Enter. E.g.: Administrator.
9. In the right panel, right click on the user account name and click Modify.
10. To hide the user account – Type 0 (zero) and click OK. (number zero not the letter)
11. Whenever you want to un-hide the account just change the value to 1 instead of  0 (zero).

Once this is done in the registry, you can import the hiding of a specific user account (E.g. Administrator Account) to other computers.

To do this, right click on the SpecialAccounts keycreated in step 3-4 and click Export a window appears, select the location where you want to save the file, type the name for the file and click save.

in the next computer just double click the file, and click Yes and Ok options when they appear.

the file looks like below when edited in a notepad or any text editor software.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList]
"Administrator"=dword:00000000

If you save the above text in a file with extension .reg and use it on any computer, it will hide Administrator account.
