Learning UNIX together :)

Learning is lots of fun , if it is done together.....
Starting with the basics of UNIX.....we shall make 'A step a day' to reach proficiency.....
This idea is cool for me....what about you ? are you ready ?

Now you can mail an EXE file too in jus a few clicks !!

The solution to the problem of sending the file with extension .exe through email :

1) Change the extention of file to be sent to (.dat)

2) After downloading the file to the system : If we cannot convert a DAT file to an EXE file directly by renaming - follow the below steps:

STEPS:
  1. Save the file to your computer if it is in an email.
  2. Ask the person who sent it what program the file needs to run---if it is a spreadhsset, a picture, an executable file or something else. If you rename the file to .exe and it is an Excel spreadsheet, for example, your program will not launch successfully.
  3. Hold down "Ctrl" and press "E" to open Windows Explorer. Navigate to the file on your computer.
  4. Click "Tools," then "Folder Options."
  5. Select the "View" tab.
  6. Check "Hide Extensions for Known File Types." Click "Apply," then "OK."
  7. Click the name of the file you wish to launch.
  8. Hit "F2" and replace "dat" in the filename with "exe."
  9. Double-click to launch the file.
