Hidden Program In Windows XP

And

Cipher.exe

This utility detects whether files on an NTFS partition are encrypted with Windows’ EFS (Encrypting File System). You can also use it to encrypt and decrypt files or folders.

If you encrypt a folder, any files that are subsequently added are automatically encrypted too. The encrypted files can only be read, copied or altered by their owner or an administrator.

If you run the Cipher program without using any parameters, it just shows the encryption status of the files in the current directory: ‘E’ before the file name in the results means Encrypted, U means Unencrypted.

If, for example, you want to securely encrypt all the folders in c:\secure, then type the comm...

If, for example, you want to securely encrypt all the folders in c:\secure, then type the command cipher /e c:\secure. Use the /u switch to decrypt them again.

Note that if you copy a file to a non-encrypted or Fat-formatted disk, folder or partition, the encryption could be lost.

Also, if you try to restore encrypted files from a backup onto a different Windows installation, you won't be able to read the encrypted files unless you’ve backed up your private encryption key.

And

Msg.exe

The msg command allows to you send text messages to one or more users on the same network. If you want to send the message to a specific user, then you should also specify the name of the computer they are currently logged on to.

The message text will appear in a dialogue box on the target computer’s desktop, as long as the Messenger service is running on both PCs – note that this is not the instant-messaging application Windows Messenger, but a separate service.

For example, if you want to send a message to the user named Hubert on the computer called Riverside, type this command into the command prompt window:

msg hubert /SERVER:riverside

Then type in the me...

Then type in the message text, which can be as long as you want. To mark the end of the text and stop entering text, press the Enter key, so the cursor goes to a new line.

Then press the key combination Ctrl & Z and confirm this by pressing Enter again. After this, the message text is sent immediately to the recipient.
