How to Delete Infected Computer Files: 9 Steps

Infected files can become a pain, sometimes you can find infected files cannot be deleted. This simple method will show you how to bypass the protection of delete.
STEPS

1

BACK UP AS MUCH OF YOUR IMPORTANT DATA AS POSSIBLE BEFORE MODIFYING ANY FILE ON YOUR COMPUTER. See Warnings and Tips.

2

SCAN YOUR COMPUTER WITH SEVERAL ANTIVIRUS AND ANTI-SPYWARE PROGRAMS. See Related wikiHows.

3

WRITE DOWN ALL FILE NAMES THAT CANNOT BE DELETED BY YOUR ANTIVIRUS/ANTISPYWARE PROGRAMS.

4

BOOT INTO SAFE MODE.
Restart your computer.


While the computer is booting up press F8 (you may need to rapidly tap F8 if your computer is fast).

5

LOG ON AS THE ADMIN OF THE COMPUTER.

6

TO MAKE SURE THAT SYSTEM RESTORE HAS NOT INADVERTENTLY SAVED AN INFECTED FILE, DISABLE IT THEN SCAN THE COMPUTER. Only do this if you are 100% sure that you will not be using system restore at this moment.

7

SEARCH FOR A KNOWN INFECTED FILE. Type the name of the file into the filename box and do not restrict the search by date, time or size. If no results show, search for the name in the "contains text" search field. This may bring up several files, not all of which are infected. To determine which is the correct file, you need to know what purpose the file serves, is it a registry file? (warning!), it may also help to visit the website (virus/spyware database) of the antivirus/antispyware programs that you found the file with if any. Much of the time there is more current information on how to deal with the infected file.

8

SELECT THE INFECTED FILE WHEN YOU HAVE LOGGED ON AND HOLD SHIFT THEN PRESS THE DELETE KEY (THIS BYPASSES THE RECYCLE BIN AND COMPLETELY REMOVES IT).

9

RE-ENABLE SYSTEM RESTORE IF IT IS NOT LIKELY THAT THE COMPUTER WILL FAIL IN SOME MANNER (LOSE DATA FOR INSTANCE OR THAT THE FILE YOU DELETED WAS A FALSE POSITIVE OR REGISTRY FILE).
TIPS
Restarting in safe mode basically has the computer run the very minimum of software. It makes scanning your computer more effective as the scanning software can freely scan your disk without any programs modifying files in the meantime.
WARNINGS
If you delete files that are required by certain programs then the program may not work anymore.
Be very careful with deleting certain files, especially registry files as they are usually critical to your computer's workings.
If you delete operating systems files then you may need to reinstall your current operating system.
MAKE SURE you know that the file is infected before you delete it.

How to Buy Film Rights to a Book: 6 Steps

Many movies are based on books, graphic novels or life rights for biographical films. Movie rights are subsidiary rights to a book. Although the book is turned into a screenplay and may not follow the book exactly, it is derivative of the book and usually needs the author's involvement. A film company or screenplay writer must secure rights before producing material. These rights can be controlled completely or partially by the author or publishing house. It is important to secure a book's film rights before beginning a screenplay or seeking producer involvement. Read more to find out how to buy film rights to a book.
STEPS

1

READ THE MATERIAL THOROUGHLY. You should be very familiar with the book's characters and its value to film companies before approaching anyone about film rights. This will help you to be familiar with the author, publishing company and possible concerns with turning the book into a film.

2

RESEARCH WHO CONTROLS THE FILM RIGHTS TO THE BOOK. You should first find the publisher at the beginning of the book and contact the publishing house about subsidiary rights. Some publishing companies have departments dedicated to dealing with republishing and film rights, called a Rights and Acquisitions Department.
Write or fax a written request for information on the film rights to the book in question. Be sure to include a legitimate proposal that proves why you should get information on book subsidiary rights. Also include your contact information, so that they can give you a response.
Contact the author's agent or the author to inquire about the rights, if you cannot get the information from the publishing house. You may be able to find the author's contact information on their website. If you have a great idea for adaptation, and the author likes it, you may be able to secure rights more easily.

3

WAIT FOR A RESPONSE FROM THE PUBLISHING COMPANY OR THE AGENT. This can take a few days to a few months. You may receive a response saying the rights are not available; however, if the film rights are available you can continue attempting to acquire them.
If the film rights are not available, you should not work with the material because someone else owns the rights to make the book into a movie.
If the film rights are public domain, this means that anyone has rights to adapt the book into film. Books move into public domain when the author's copyright on the material expires. This is the case with Shakespeare, Jane Austen and Mark Twain.

4

DEVELOP A PROPOSAL TO OPTION THE BOOK. You should do extensive research on competition, target demographics and the connections required to get the movie made. A production company will not get involved unless the rights are secured.
A book option means that you reserve the rights for a limited period of time in order to make the film, and you pay the author and/or publishing company a stipend based on those rights. For example, you may pay $100,000 for a 1 year option on a book. The author receives a percentage, such as $10,000, and they receive the balance if the film is made that year. After an option expires, you may be able to option it for another year.

5

CONTACT AN ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER OR AGENT TO NEGOTIATE YOUR OPTION. This is an important step to negotiating a legal and advantageous contract to adapt the book into film. Many publishing agents are not knowledgeable enough to handle film rights negotiation.

6

CONTACT PRODUCERS, DIRECTORS AND ACTORS TO GET THEM INTERESTED IN THE FILM. This is essential to get the book made within the option time. Many options have to be renewed because it takes a while to gather interest and money to make films.
TIPS
If you are unable to find the information for an author or an author's agent, contact the Writer's Guild of America, or another country. They list the agents and can give you contact information.
Buy a Publisher's Weekly Magazine in order to research book options. In each issue, they list the amount of money that books are optioned for.
It is rare that options are given for a low price. The author's agent or the publishing company will want to negotiate the best option for their client, because they each get a cut of the option price received.
If you do not have money to option a book, then choose a public domain book. You can do an Internet search with the terms "public domain books," in order to find options.
WARNINGS
Do not begin writing a screenplay adaptation until rights are secured. The company that holds the rights can begin litigation to stop you from writing. Screenplay writers are first hired by a company and then given projects to work on, or they are not likely to read the script.
Do not choose to option the book if it is a story that has been told many times before or if the concept is hard to explain. This is known as a "soft concept," and it is difficult to adapt a book with this concept into a movie. These are not safe investment options.
THINGS YOU\'LL NEED
Book

Author or agent contact information

How to Put Music on Your Web Page: 8 Steps (with Pictures)

This is a method to put one or more songs on one's web page, which can be played one at a time by click, and which can be changed at will by the html page author.
STEPS

1

CREATE A MUSIC FOLDER FOR ALL YOUR DOWNLOADED MUSIC SOMEWHERE SUCH AS IN MY DOCS. Copy and paste music files into this Folder. Right Click/Open With/Some 'Media Player' to play the song. # Right Click on file/Open With/Choose Program/ to change your default media player. Highlight and check 'always use this program to open these files'.

2

CREATE A MUSIC FOLDER IN YOUR HTML OR, SAY AS THE NAME OF \'SONGLINE\', WITHIN THE SAME FOLDER AS ON-LINE MUSIC PRESENTATION PAGE. This simplifies addressing. Copy and paste a song say 'Example' from 'My Docs'/Music Folder. It will probably be listed as some kind of audio file, mp3, wma, wav or some other. Audio extension converters can be obtained on line, to convert wma or wav extensions to mp3 or vice-versa, and others.

3

PLACE HTML CODE: Name of Song on your web page. This address requires 'Folder Songline' to be in same Folder as web page. You can put up any number of above 'links' with corresponding song titles. But the extension must be '.m

3

u'.

4

CREATE AN \'MP3 AUDIO PLAY LIST FILE\'. It is not an html file, so you can create it on your desktop and 'Save As' to your web page. Create a Notepad Desktop file and call it say MP3. On the very top line place the code: http://www.Domain.xxx/SongLine/NameOfSong.mp3. If it is a wma file, the address should be http://www.Domain.xxx/SongLine/NameOfSong.wma or other extension.

5

SAVE. Then 'Save As'. On 'Save as Type'/'All Files'. On File Name/ type Name of Song.m3u (Must be m3u). Then Browse to HTML file folder 'SongLine', and 'Save As'. The extension of 'Saved As' must be m3u, but is not to be confused with the http:// address at top of page, which remains mp3, ama or whatever in all cases. You need both the song file and the 'Audio Play list File' for it all to work.

6

PUT THE SONG ONLINE. In Transfer Protocol, transfer the Folder 'SongLine' to the server-side, in the same portal as the web presentation page. Both the song file and the 'MP3 Audio Play list File' must be transferred to the server-side 'Folder/Songline'. Transfer the html file presentation page displaying the song.

7

TO CHANGE SONGS, COPY NEW SONG INTO FOLDER \'SONGLINE\'. Change name of song file and title on web page. You can use the same Notepad file to add new 'Audio Play list File'. Use the same address, single line at the top, and just change the name of the song title only as: http://www.Domain.xxx/SongLine/New NameOfSong.mp3 Save/Save As: as directed in Step 4, 'New Song Name.m3u' into html Folder Songline.

8

TO PUT A SERIES OF SONGS ON WEB PAGE, COPY SONGS INTO HTML FOLDER SONGLINE. Create 'Audio Play list Files' one at a time and 'Save As' into SongLine Folder, as per Step 4. Place any number of on your web page. Transfer whole affair to on-line server-side.
WARNINGS
Extensions such as mp3 or wma may be "case sensitive".

How to Make a Coffee Misto (with Pictures)

Coffee misto" is a term introduced into the coffee lexicon by the Starbucks Coffee Company. The drink is actually a take on the French coffee drink _café au lait_, which can be prepared in several different ways from country to country. Most often, the term refers to a drink made from equal portions of strong brewed coffee and steamed milk, which differentiates it in U.S. usage from a latte, which is made using espresso. Learning how to make a coffee misto at home is as simple as brewing your favorite coffee and heating milk on the stove.
STEPS

1

BREW A STRONG BATCH OF COFFEE. Half of your coffee misto will be made from brewed coffee. You can brew this at regular strength, but this tends to let the coffee flavor disappear beneath the large amount of milk in the drink.
To brew a more authentic and flavorful cup, double the strength of your usual brewed coffee. This can be done easily be simply adding double the amount of ground coffee using the same amount of water.
The coffee misto prepared by Starbucks utilizes coffee brewed at normal strength. To imitate the drink as precisely as possible, brew at regular strength.

2

BEGIN HEATING MILK ON THE STOVE. The other half of your coffee misto is made from heated milk. You can use any type of milk or nondairy product based on your own preferences. The best vessel for heating the milk is a small saucepan.
Traditionally, European _café au lait_ is served without frothing the milk, but simply heating it. A version of the drink popularized in New Orleans actually utilizes scalded milk - that is, milk heated past its boiling point and allowed to form a skin.
Starbucks, however, uses frothed, steamed milk in the coffee misto. To replicate this frothy texture, you can whisk the milk vigorously in the saucepan while it is heating.
The milk can be heated to any temperature you like. 160 degrees Fahrenheit (70 degrees Celsius) is the most popular temperature for steaming milk.

3

POUR THE BREWED COFFEE AND HEATED MILK INTO YOUR MUG. When both parts of the drink are prepared, you simply pour them into your drinking cup in equal parts. You can vary the ratios to your taste, of course.
Traditionally, the coffee and milk are poured into the cup side by side (holding the coffee pot in 1 hand and the saucepan in the other). This is done to ensure adequate mixing, a proper ratio, and for dramatic flair.

4

SWEETEN THE COFFEE TO TASTE. You can add any sweeteners you like to your freshly poured coffee misto. In fact, the _café au lait_ is one of the few coffee drinks that is traditionally sweetened by European drinkers.

TIPS
The word _misto_ is Italian for "mixed." So, while _café au lait_ means "coffee with milk," the Starbucks drink name actually means "mixed coffee."
For the most flavorful cup of _café au lait_, use a darkly roasted coffee. Dark roasts from Sumatra or Java, for example, hold up well against the large quantity of heated milk.

How to Start a Bookstore: 8 Steps

Starting a bookstore can provide a great opportunity for you to turn your passion into your livelihood. Small, independent bookstores can prove to be quite successful, and will enrich their surrounding community. While it can be intimidating and quite challenging to start a business and compete against the big retailers, by following a few steps you can learn how to start a bookstore.
STEPS

1

DO YOUR RESEARCH. Study the retail markets in your area, especially booksellers. Determine if the market will support an additional business, and what niches might be unexplored. Talk to other small business owners in the area; use their information to decide how your business might best be structured to address the available markets. Ask friends or even conduct a poll about what community members would want to see in a new bookstore.

2

PUT TOGETHER A BUSINESS PLAN. A business plan is a formal document describing your proposed venture; it will state your goals, why you think those goals are achievable, and how you plan to reach them. You will be pitching your business plan primarily to lenders and investors, so financing your endeavor will depend on putting together a solid business plan. A business plan has many key components.
Be sure to include a good executive summary. The executive summary presents an overview of your entire business in just 1 page. If you don't impress your reader with the executive summary, they may not even read the rest of the business plan.
Include a solid marketing plan. This is likely the most important part of the business plan. The marketing plan demonstrates to your reader that you have analyzed your target market and that you understand the market. Include details about your product, your distribution strategy, your pricing scheme, and your marketing budget.
Don't neglect the financial documents. Lenders and investors look at this section first. Include 3 years worth of projected balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements. Prove to investors that they can see a quick return, and show lenders that you are not a risk for default.

3

FIND A LOCATION. Finding a good rental space is essential to running a successful business. Make sure your bookstore is located in an area with a lot of pedestrian traffic, if possible. Be sure to comply with local zoning ordinances (in general, you will need a property zoned for commercial usage). Pay attention to how much tenant improvement (TI) you will have to do, such as installing bookshelves and a counter.

4

OBTAIN FINANCING. Determine how much start-up capital you will need, and then formulate a plan to get that money. This money will come from 3 primary sources: yourself, investors, and lenders. Achieving a balance between these 3 sources is crucial to the financial health of your business.
Prepare to put some of your own money into the business. Lenders like to see this, because it shows them you have a vested interest in not defaulting on your loans.
Attract money from investors. Get in touch with friends or venture capitalists and convince them that your business is a promising investment. When investors give you money, they establish equity in your business, meaning they become part owners. You are not obligated to pay them back if the business flops, but they will expect a high return in exchange for shouldering that risk.
Get a bank loan. There are plenty of small business loan programs available. Loans have the benefit of costing less than equity (the interest rates will be lower than an investor's expected return), but you are obligated to pay them back.
Note that there is actually such a thing as having too much start-up capital. If you have wads of money, you will generally be more reckless in spending it and won't pay enough attention to market signals.

5

MAKE YOUR BUSINESS LEGAL. This means applying for a business license, and deciding on your legal business form. If you incorporate, your personal assets will not be at stake, but your income will be taxed both as corporate and personal income. If you operate as a sole proprietorship, you risk losing even your personal assets (like your car or home).

6

STOCK YOUR BOOKSTORE. Order books from suppliers and publishers and start filling your shelves. If you are running a used bookstore, look for deals on book collections online, at estate sales, or even at yard sales. Make sure your stock of books aligns with the market niche you indicated you would explore in your business plan.

7

ADVERTISE YOUR BUSINESS. Prior to opening, make sure people in the surrounding community know about your new bookstore. Consider printing fliers, putting ads or coupons in the local newspapers, advertising online, or holding a grand opening sale. Make sure to take advantage of social media technologies to spread the word about your new store.

8

CONSIDER OFFERING OTHER SERVICES AT YOUR BOOKSTORE. Schedule book readings and book signings. Offer classes or seminars on topics appropriate to your bookstore's niche. Consider opening a small cafe in your bookstore. All these options are a good way to bring in revenue while distinguishing your store from the big retail chains.
TIPS
You could consider opening an online bookstore. This will save you money on rental space, as you will only need inventory space.
