When you are making some changes to your system settings, wouldn’t it be great to see what is actually changing in the registry? This would be really helpful when the changes you have made doesn’t work as expected and you want to reverse the changes but can’t without actually editing the registry.

Here is how you can track what exactly gets changed in the registry.

1. Start Regedit
2. Select the top level (Computer).
3. On the menu select File>Export and save the file to any location. However, I would recommend saving the file to root of any drive (C, D etc). You can name the file ‘before’.
4. Make any change to your system.
5. Go back to Regedit and press F5 to refresh it.
6. Repeat step 3 and export the registry once again and save it in the same directory as before. This time name the file as ‘after’.
7. Open up a DOS window (Command prompt)
8. Go to the drive/directory where you saved the two exported file.
9. Enter the command fc before.reg after.reg > diff.txt.
10. The output file (diff.txt) will contain the changes made to the registry.

Metasearch engine Ixquick and its U.S. brand, Startpage.com have released a new proxy service that allows users to surf the web with complete privacy.

The Ixquick proxy is a free service that works in conjunction with the Ixquick search engine, available at www.ixquick.com. When users perform a search, they will find a clickable "proxy" option below each search result. When this option is selected,Ixquick acts as an intermediary to retrieve the page and display it in a privacy-protected Ixquick window.

The proxy offers anonymity, since the user never makes direct contact with the third-party website. The user's IP address is invisible to the viewed website. In addition, the website cannot see or place cookies on the user's browser.



Ixquick does not record IP addresses, make a record of users' searches, or record details about proxy usage. The company's data collection practices are third-party certified with the “European Privacy seal”.

The proxy service is being launched on January 28th, to celebrate international Data Privacy Day.

Google has postponed the launch of two mobile phones in China which use its Android platform, in the first sign its business in the country is starting to be affected by a dispute over hacking and censorship.

The manufacturers of the telephone, which was scheduled for launch in China on Wednesday, are Motorola and Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, and China Unicom would have been the carrier, a Google spokeswoman said. A source familiar with the situation said Google Inc wanted customers to have a "positive experience" with the product, but felt that would be difficult considering the publicity surrounding the company inChina at present.

Google said last week that it and other companies were targets of sophisticated cyber-spying from China that also went after Chinese dissidents, and threatened to pull out of the country. It also said it no longer wants to censor its Chinese Google.cn search site and wants talks with Beijing about offering a legal, unfiltered Chinese site.

Android is an open source mobile operating system, already adopted by China Mobile's OPhone and Dell's Mini 3, which were launched in China late last year. Analysts say that without search, Google's most important business in China, the firm would struggle to retain a foothold is the world's biggest Internet market by users. The dispute could stoke tensions between China and the United States, already at odds over the value of the yuan currency, trade issues, U.S. arms sales to Taiwan and climate change policy. Chinese officials have so far publicly fended offGoogle 's complaints and not openly flagged any talks with the world's biggest Internet search company, which opened its Chinese-language search site in 2006. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Ma Zhaoxu pressed the company a little more on Tuesday in comments that suggested scant room for giving way to Google's demands. "Foreign firms in China should respect China's laws and regulations, and respect China's public customs and traditions, and assume the corresponding social responsibilities, and of course Google is no exception," Ma told a regular briefing. Ma did not mention censorship as being among those responsibilities, but other Chinese officials have. Until now, the Foreign Ministry had avoided mentioning Google 's name in comments on the dispute that has also drawn Washington into demanding an explanation from Beijing. But Ma, like other Chinese officials, did not directly hit back at the U.S. When asked again about Google's complaint it had been hacked from within China, Ma said Chinese companies have also been hacked. "China is the biggest victim of hacking," Ma said, adding that eight out of 10 personal computers in China connected to the Internet had been hacked. This figure apparently included the many computers infected with viruses spread online
