It’s your right to know how others are using your PC and internet connection. In Internet Explorer, user can remove all browsing traces from a computer using the “Clear history” button. When you suspect someone is using your computer for malicious or immoral purposes, you can remove this button as an option.

Removing the clear history button can be accomplished with a basic tweak of your system registry. But I must warn you that the registry is a crucial part of your system and messing around with it is dangerous. Do it on your own risk.

1. Open the “Start” menu and click on the “Run” button.
2. Type in “regedit” and press “Enter.”
3. Open the following directories in order: “HKEY_CURRENT_USER,” “Software,” “Policies,” “Microsoft,” “Internet Explorer,” “Control Panel.”
4. Right-click in the right pane and select the option to create a “New” “DWORD.” Name this item “History.”
5. Set the value of history to “1″ and reboot your computer.

I was copying a folder (database) from mysql server running on windows to a new mysql server running on OpenSuse Linux. When I opened the tables using phpmyadmin, everything was all right. But when I tried to edit the tables this error happened “ERROR 1036: Table ‘xxxxx’ is read only”. It took me a while cause I didn’t know what’s going on.

After reading mysql manual, I finally found the answer. The MySQL server is running as user mysql and not as the user I logged into it with. In order for it to access files that have user only rights they must be owned by user ‘mysql’ since that is what the server is running as. Make sure the folder and files used by mysql belong to the user ‘mysql’. These files are located in the /var/lib/mysql directory. The directory itself should also belong to ‘mysql’.

If you need to make some changes, restart the mysqld service after making them. This makes sense…..
