How to Create an invisible account in Windows XP

Go to the registry key:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\W indowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList

Go to the registry key:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\W indowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList

Create a new DWORD, setting its name to the name of the account you wish to hide. Then set its value to 0 to hide it. However, this account isn’t completely hidden because it is visible to administrators in Local User and Groups and also the profile is visible in the Documents and Settings. When you are at the welcome screen, and you want to login to this account, then press Ctrl+Alt+Delete twice and it will display the log-on promt style similar to Windows 2000, then type the username, and the password and hit enter.

404 Error Pages

Welcome to 404 Error Pages .com

Overview

The Error 404 "Page not found" is the error page displayed whenever someone asks for a page that’s simply not available on your site. The reason for this is that there may be a link on your site that was wrong or the page might have been recently removed from the site. As there is no web page to display, the web server sends a page that simply says "404 Page not found".

The 404 error message is an HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) standard status code. This "Not Found" response code indicates that although the client could communicate to the server, the server could not find what was requested or it was configured not to fulfill the request.

The 404 "Not Found" error is not the same as the "Server Not Found" error which you see whenever a connection to the destination server could not be established at all.

The default 404 error page as shown on Internet Explorer is given below.

404 Error Pages

HTTP Status Code

Whenever you visit a web page, your computer will request data from a server through HTTP. Even before the requested page is displayed in your browser, the web server will send the HTTP header that has the status code. The status code provides information about the status of the request. A normal web page gets the status code as 200. But we do not see this as the server proceeds to send the contents of the page. It’s only when there is an error, we see the status code 404 Not Found.

Origin of Status Codes

As a part of the HTTP 0.9 specifications, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) established HTTP status codes in 1992. Tim Berners-Lee, who invented the web and the first web browser in 1990, defined the status codes.

List of Status Codes

Meaning of 404

When we expand the code 404, the first digit “4” represents a client error. The server indicates that you did a mistake like misspelling the URL or requesting for a page that is no longer available.

The middle digit, 0 represents a general syntax error and could indicate a spelling mistake.

The last digit, 4 refers to a specific error in the group of 40x.

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) states that 404 Not Found should be used in cases where the server fails to find the requested location and is unsure of its status. Whenever a page has been permanently removed, the status code used must be 410. But hardly have we seen a 410 page. Instead, 404 Not Found page has become popular and the most commonly used error page.

Content of a 404 Error Page

A 404 response code is always followed by a human readable reason phrase as per the HTTP specification. Generally, a web server issues an HTML page that has the 404 code and the “Not Found” phrase by default. You can configure a web server to display a branded page with a better description and a search form. But the protocol level phrase requires no customization as it is hidden from the user.

Soft 404s

Soft 404 errors are actually “Not Found” errors returned by a web server as a standard web page with a 200 Ok response code. In an automated process of discovering a broken link, the soft 404 errors are problematic.

The BT Group of UK has a clean feed content blocking system that returns a 404 error to the requests for content identified as illegal by the Internet Watch Foundation. Even when the user tries to access the Government censored websites, a fake 404 error will be returned.

Although the web statistics generally vary from month to month, based on the strategy used to eliminate 404 errors, and how active the website is, the percentage of 404 errors varies. Most active websites that have frequently changed or added content generally experience a higher number of Page Not Found errors. But there are many large and busy sites that achieve zero percent 404 errors over a period. On an average, around 7% of visits to any given web site will result in a 404 error page.

Tracking and Preventing 404 Errors

  • Log Files - Web Server log files help in tracking the 404 errors. These standard log files are just ASCII text files that have each HTTP protocol transaction, whether completed or not, recorded in them. Most of the HTTP errors are recorded in the transfer log and the error log files. If you have access to the log files of your website, you can observe the HTTP status code field. This field gives you an idea about the occurrence of 404 errors, their frequencies, consistencies, and also the referred document that led to the errors. Also find out the existence of any broken link on your site and the misspelled URL that led to the error. When you know all these information, you can easily correct the link and prevent 404 errors on your website.
  • Redirects – If you find a page that is consistently getting a 404 error, you can create a redirect page using the .htaccess file that automatically takes the users from an older page to its newer replacement. You can use Permanent and Temporary Redirects to "catch" old referrals from other sites and send the visitors to their intended information.
  • Robots File - If you have a section of your site with pages that are frequently changed, you can block the search engines from indexing them in their databases using robots.txt file so that you can prevent 404 errors.

Using Log Files

A sample line from a common transfer log file is given below.

revacsystems.com - - [18/June/2008:12:13:03 -0700]

GET /download/windows/happiness.zip HTTP/1.0 200 9887

http://www.payoneer.com/ Mozilla/4.7 [en]C-SYMPA (Win95; U)

Address or DNS revacsystems.com
RFC931 -
AuthUser -
TimeStamp [18/June/2008:12:13:03 -0700]
Access Request GET /download/windows/happiness.zip HTTP/1.0
Status Code 200
Transfer Volume 9887
Referer URL http://www.payoneer.com/
User Agent Mozilla/4.7 [en]C-SYMPA (Win95; U)

  • Address or DNS – This field refers to the address of the computer making the HTTP request.
  • RFC931 – This field identifies the requestor. If no information is available, you’ll find the symbol – for this column in the log file.
  • AuthUser - This field has the authenticated user sent via clear text.
  • TimeStamp – This field has the date, time, and offset from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT x 100) recorded for each hit. You can even compare the time stamps between entries so that you’ll know how long a visitor stayed on a given page.
  • Access Request – This field has one of the three types of HTTP requests. Get request is for a document or program. POST is to tell the server that the data is following. HEAD is for use by the link checking programs.
  • Status Code – This field has the status code of 200 meaning that the transaction was successful. If the requested URL doesn’t exist, then you would have noticed the 404 code in the log.
  • Transfer Volume – This field shows the number of bytes transferred.
  • Referer URL – This field refers to the page where the visitor was located when making the next request.
  • User Agent – This field refers to the information such as the browser, version, and operating system of the reader.

Using Redirects

Redirects are very useful when used in conjunction with a 404 error page. To redirect a page, simply follow the steps given below.

1. Create a file "notfound404.htm" with a message such as:

"Sorry, this page was not found. In a few seconds, you will be redirected to the Home page."

2. Allow 5 seconds for reading the message and then redirect.

3. A sample redirect code is:

Note: The value for CONTENT specifies the number of seconds you allow the user to read the message before redirecting.

Using robots.txt File

Robots.txt file is useful when there are frequently changing sections on your webpage. To use a robots.txt file, simply follow the steps given below.

1. Create a file “robots.txt” in the root directory.

2. A sample robots.txt code is:

User-agent: *

Disallow: /disappearing/

Disallow: /soontobe404.htm

Note: User-agent: * will apply to all search engines. Disallow command helps you to block complete directories or only the individual files that change.

Customization of 404 Error Pages

According to a recent poll conducted by the web masters, only 23% of visitors that encounter a 404 page make a second attempt to find the missing page. The rest 77% of visitors will not make any effort to find a missing page whenever they encounter a 404 error. So, customizing such an error page on your site will increase your chances of keeping those visitors on your site. A custom error page will be an added feature and advantage to your website. It shows that you care for your visitors and made an attempt to catch them.

Besides, there are many problems with the standard error page. They are:

  • It doesn’t convey any information to your visitor about why he was shown the error page
  • It fails to match with the other pages of your site
  • It doesn’t help the visitor in any way and the visitor feels lost on your website.

To avoid these problems and provide your visitor with a better user experience, it is always ideal to customize a 404 error page.

Qualities of a Good 404 Error Page

A good 404 error page conveys a right message and leads the visitor to where he intends to go.

  • It has an error message written in plain language so that even non-technical users will find it easy to understand. The tone of the message is slightly apologetic.
  • It has an error message that tells what went wrong without admonishing the visitor:
    • Explains the user why the URL could not be found
    • Lists the most common mistakes in accessing the files on the site
    • Lists the consistent naming conventions used on the site
    • Provides spell check functionality for the failed URLs
  • It allows the visitor to go to other important links of the site:
    • Tempts the visitor about what’s popular.
    • Links to main page or help files or a site FAQ
    • Displays not more than 10 links
  • It has a link to email the webmaster or a form to submit the broken links.
  • It has a search field linked to the site's search engine and a list of links similar to what was entered.
  • It has no ads displayed.
  • It avoids redirection of 301 and 302.

Note: There is no need for you to do all of these things on a single error page. But following these simple tactics will help your visitor to stay on your site.

Forcing Internet Explorer to Display Your Custom 404

Internet Explorer versions 5 and below do not support your customized error page if its size is less than 512 bytes. Make sure you create customized error page that has the size greater than 512 bytes. Note that this doesn’t include graphics. The best way is to add some filler text in comment lines in the source code of your file.

The versions 5 and above have friendly built in error page. But this is no replacement to a customized error page. You can even change the default behavior of the Internet Explorer.

1. Go to Tools Menu in the Internet Explorer and click the Internet Options.

404 Error Pages













2. You will be displayed with the Internet Options dialog box. Click the Advanced tab.

404 Error Pages





















3. Uncheck the "Show friendly HTTP error messages" check box and then click the OK button at the end.

.htaccess File

The Hypertext access (.htaccess) file is the Apache's directory-level configuration file that allows you to manipulate the behavior of the server. Often, the .htaaccess file is accompanied by an .hpasswd file for storing valid usernames and respective passwords.

The .htaccess file is used to specify the security restrictions of a particular directory. It helps the server to rewrite URLs and control user agent caching so that bandwidth usage, server load and perceived lag are reduced to a great extent. More commonly, it is used for customizing error messages for server errors.

Using .htaccess File

Before we use any .htaccess file, we need to know that it’s the filename in full and not any extension. For example, we cannot create a file called "error.htaccess" and the file is just called ".htaccess".

When you place a ".htaccess" file in any directory, it will be loaded via the Apache Web Server software. The file will have effect over the other files in the entire directory it is placed in, including the subdirectories. You can use text editors like TextPad, UltraEdit or MS Wordpad to create a .htaccess file.

After you create .htaccess file, you must upload it using a FTP (File Transfer Protocol) program. It is also important to note that while you upload the file, you need to upload it in "ASCII" mode.

Customizing 404 Error Page Using the .htaccess File on Apache Based Servers

It is not possible to customize your 404 error page if your web host has not enabled this facility for your website.

If your web host has this facility, you will usually find mentioning of this information somewhere in their documentation. In fact, if they mention somewhere that you can customize a file named ".htaccess", it probably means that you can also customize your 404 File Not Found error page.

The steps in customizing a 404 error page are given below.
Step 1: Create a customized 404 File Not Found Error page.
Step 2: Create a .htaccess file
Step 3: Upload both files.
Step 4: Test the page.

Step 1: Create a Customized 404 File Not Found Error Page

We’ll create a custom 404 error page based on a html/php script. This code will send an email notice whenever the error page loads. The notice has the information such as the Date and Time of the visit, the IP address of the visitor, the attempted URL, the visitor’s browser information, and the bad link that led to the error page.

Here’s the sample code:

404 Error Page

Error 404


Page Not Found

$ip = getenv ("REMOTE_ADDR");

$requri = getenv ("REQUEST_URI");

$servname = getenv ("SERVER_NAME");

$combine = $ip . " tried to load " . $servname . $requri ;

$httpref = getenv ("HTTP_REFERER");

$httpagent = getenv ("HTTP_USER_AGENT");

$today = date("D M j Y g:i:s a T");

$note = "You are in a wrong page!" ;

$message = "$today \n


$combine
\n

User Agent = $httpagent \n

$note

\n


$httpref ";

$message2 = "$today \n

$combine \n

User Agent = $httpagent \n

$note \n

$httpref ";

$to = "error@yourdomain.com";

$subject = "yourdomain Error Page";

$from = "From: fake@yourdomain.com\r\n";

mail($to, $subject, $message2, $from);

echo $message;

?>

Visit our Home Page yourdomain.com

1. Copy this code and paste it in notepad as shown below.

404 Error Pages





















2. Replace "yourdomain.com" with the URL of your website.

3. Save the file as 404NotFound.php.

404 Error Pages

















Step 2: Create a .htaccess file

1. Open a new file in NotePad.

2. Add the following line to the file:

ErrorDocument 404 /errors/404NotFound.php

3. Save the file as .htaccess. The name must be all lowercase i.e. .htaccess

Note: When you create a new .htaccess file, the resulting file may be named as - htaccess.txt If that is the case, remove the extension and rename the file to .htaccess.


Step 3: Upload Both Files

1. Open the FTP tool through which you upload your website files.

2. Upload the 404NotFound.php file to the folder you wish to upload.

3. Upload the .htaccess file to the top directory.

Step 4: Test the page.

1. Now test your error page by typing a URL that you know does not exist. Your error page should load up like the one shown below.

404 Error Pages




















Common Errors with a 404 Custom Error Page

The most common error you will find is related to the URL. If you mention the URL incorrectly in the .htaccess file, it leads the web server into a loop when a visitor tries to access the missing file.

Another common error is related to the insertion of invalid hyperlinks on 404 Not Found page. So, When you provide the hyperlinks of other pages on the 404 Not Found page, make sure that they work and are not relative links. For Instance,

My Browser Does Not Display a Web Site Correctly: How Do I Fix This Problem?

My browser is not displaying web sites. When I use my browser to visit a web site, it sometimes fails to load a web page or only displays part of the page. Sometimes I see timeout errors, yet at other times the site loads fine. What’s going on and how can I fix this problem?



There are many reasons why a web page may not load successfully in your browser. Sometimes the problem is one of compatibility. A web site’s developers may wrongly choose to use proprietary coding techniques that not every browser knows how to interpret. You can check for this type of issue by using a different browser to visit the web site in question. That’s one of the reasons why I keep both Safari and Firefox web browsers handy. If a page loads in one browser but not the other, I know it’s a compatibility problem.

One of the most likely causes of a web page not loading is a wrongly configured or poorly maintained DNS (Domain Name Server) system by your ISP (Internet Service Provider). Most Internet users have the DNS system assigned to them by their ISP. Sometimes this is done automatically; sometimes an ISP will give you the DNS server’s Internet address to manually enter into your Mac’s network settings. In either case, the problem is usually at the ISP’s end of the connection.

DNS is a system that allows us to use easily remembered names for web sites (as well as other Internet services), instead of the harder-to-remember numeric IP addresses assigned to web sites. For example, it is a lot easier to remember www.about.com than 207.241.148.80, which is About.com’s actual IP address. If the DNS system is having problems translating www.about.com to the correct IP address, then the web site won’t load. You may see an error message, or only part of the web site may display.

That doesn’t mean there is nothing you can do. You can confirm whether your ISP’s DNS system is working correctly. If it isn’t (or even if it is), if you wish, you can change your DNS settings to use a more robust server than the one your ISP recommends.

Testing Your DNS

OS X offers various ways to test and confirm whether an operational DNS system is available to you. I’m going to show you one of those methods.

  1. Launch Terminal, located at /Applications/Utilities/.
  2. Type or copy/paste the following command into the Terminal window.
  3. host www.about.com
  4. Press the return or enter key after you enter the line above.

If your ISP’s DNS system is working, you should see the following two lines returned in the Terminal application:

www.about.com is an alias for www.about.akadns.net
www.about.akadns.net has address 207.241.148.80

What is important is the second line, which verifies that the DNS system was able to translate the web site’s name into an actual numeric Internet address, in this case 207.241.148.80.

Try the host command if you’re having problems accessing a web site. Don’t worry about the number of lines of text that may be returned; it varies from web site to web site. What’s important is that you do not see a line that says:

Host your.website.name not found

If you get a ‘web site not found’ result, and you’re sure you have entered the web site’s name correctly (and that there really is a web site by that name), than you can be reasonably sure that, at least for the moment, your ISP’s DNS system is having problems.

Use a Different DNS

The easiest way to fix an ISP’s malfunctioning DNS is to substitute a different DNS for the one provided. My favorite DNS system is run by a company called OpenDNS, which offers free use of its DNS system. OpenDNS provides complete instructions for making the changes to a Mac’s network setting, but if you’re having DNS issues, you may not be able to access the OpenDNS web site. Here is the quick scoop on how to make the changes yourself.

  1. Launch System Preferences by clicking on the ‘System Preferences’ icon in the Dock, or choosing the ‘System Preferences’ item from the Apple menu.
  2. Click the ‘Network’ icon in the System Preferences window.
  3. Select the connection you are using for Internet access. For almost everyone, this will be Built-In Ethernet.
  4. Click the ‘Advanced’ button
  5. Select the ‘DNS’ tab.
  6. Click the plus (+) button below the DNS Servers field and enter the following DNS address.
  7. 208.67.222.222
  8. Repeat the above steps and enter a second DNS address, shown below.
  9. 208.67.220.220
  10. Click the ‘OK’ button.
  11. Click the ‘Apply’ button.
  12. Close the Network preferences pane.

Your Mac will now have access to the DNS services provided by OpenDNS, and the wayward web site should now load properly.
