autoexec.nt
I was helping my girlfriend install an old computer program one day, but it suddenly gave an error that the autoexec.nt file was missing from her c:\windows\system32 folder, and installation couldn't continue. Naturally, being the guy, I had to solve it for her (else I would be completely useless to her, sigh...).
What I did was to go online to google.com and look up "autoexec.nt". It was a common problem among certain programs and someone from a forum actually gave a solution!
The autoexec.nt file can be found inside the c:\windows\repair folder! Just make a copy and place it into the system32 folder! YAY!
Simple solution to an interesting problem.
Tip:
Check out google.com first before joining any forums or bugging any of your own friends. In fact, the knowledge that you gain from learning from other online people is often more useless than the circle of friends you have. Expert advice are often offered for free online, and all you need is to know where to look.

My First Post!
Good afternoon to one and all!
I'm Sebastian (or Sebby) and this is pretty much my first time blogging. I'm not one to share my thoughts and feelings in public though, but I've decided to use my first blog to share my knowledge of computers and the tips and tricks that I've accumulated over the years. Of course, I can't unload everything I know upon you all at once, but over the next year or so I would hope to set up a proper structure that will be able to help the community at large.
A quick description of my (tech) past:
2000-2003: Student of Information Technology at Ngee Ann Polytechnic (Singapore)
2003-2005: Army personnel in charge of IT equipment
The rest of my life: Tech support for my family, friends, and the family business
Of course, I realise the need for continual studying just to keep up with the current trends. And I will continue to study, on my own, on the internet, and I will share the knowledge with my fellow readers.
I will take the next couple of days to come up with a suitable format for my readers to read and refer to. Please bear with me for a while, and I assure you, it will be worth your while to stick to this blog.
Here's to my first post, and the other million to come! Cheers!
