THUMBS.DB in Windows 8 & Windows 8.1 - Deletion Error

By Kokula Krishna Hari - KK

In windows 8 and 8.1 the option to create a thumbs.db file is on by default . This can be a problem when you try to delete those media folders that you no longer need. Windows won’t let you delete the thumbs.db file and you will end up with a lot of empty folders that you can’t remove.

First you want to deactivate the thumbs.db from being generated:

The fastest way to do this is to run the following command :
REG ADD “HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer” /v “DisableThumbsDBOnNetworkFolders” /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f


For who doesn’t want to run unknown commands on his computer you can also do this by yourself:

  • Run (windows key + R) - write: regedit and press Enter
  • Navigate to:  HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Explore > Advanced
  • Right click and create New DWORD Value , name it DeleteThumbnailCache  and set its value to 1.
  • This does exactly the same thing as the command I wrote.

Happy people! PING PONG!

What Indian Colleges failed to teach Students? P1

By Kokula Krishna Hari - KK
This topic is the need for the hour. I happened to visit many institutes within India and out of India. The only difference is that the Indian institutes pressurize only on the Theory and never touches the Practical or Life Sciences. The have a focus on the academic segment alone and never go for the life science, which is most important for leading a successful life. Even the schools impose few minutes in Value Education / Moral Sciences and leave them ignored. If I know the rocket science and I don't know how to wear a tie, that is an embarrassing moment. Not only this, but even there are many such instances when we may lose important information which needs for shaping our life in many occurrences. Even the institutes in India fail to teach how to wear an underwear (brief) and cover the private areas. Yes, even the beggar in India is aware about this, but the fashion (stupidity) which is never cared by parents and faculties make them to wear such. I used to have the chat in a re

Commitment is not just a Word, it is an Act

By Kokula Krishna Hari - KK
In the present world, we see many people miss the conduct code by skipping the term "Commitment" assuming it as a word. In reality, it is an act. And this act needs loads of consistent behaviour, and it happens over some time. A strong commitment exhibits an executive leadership skills of an individual through their behavioural consistency. It took me years to understand the difference between Interest and Commitment. In nut-shell, commitment is a connection between our values, intentions and actions over some time. Though it is just a choice of adhering or not-adhering, commitment is just an internal process which one needs to follow. Adding, it is self-expression and not to be influenced or enforced by external agents. Talking to people about five years down the road is hard for them to get their head around, especially for young people who are accustomed to instant gratification. People want success now, and few are willing to be patient. Read more ...

Intelligent people with OCD are miserable

By Kokula Krishna Hari - KK

Intelligent people with OCD ( O bsessive- C ompulsive  D isorder ) lead a very strange life. If you think you are highly intelligent and have symptoms of OCD it will be a huge handicap throughout the entire course of life. If you don’t have such things but see someone with such symptoms, don’t ignore them. It may sound a bit counterintuitive, but be assured that the experience would be the best. No matter how intelligent the person is, they are still a human being and not a machine! It’s a well-known fact that nobody is perfect. We’re all good at certain things and not so great at others. The smartest kid of the class might not be academically stronger, and I am challenging the case vice versa. I have seen many such cases in my life, why not least, I am seeing myself every day in the mirror and selfies. And, that’s a natural way of balancing the equation. Research indicates that  OCD  sufferers often exhibit high creativity and imagination and above-average  intelligence .
