ITbomb: Not the only option
Other option is for you to find and install XYplorer, it is much better than the stock windows Explorer and you can see and unhid your hidden files without going through cmd or folder options.

But if your system is infected, the only option is MSEssential and USB Guard

the issue is dat afta scaning my phone memory card, i can stil see d files in d laptop even without using folder option, but when i put d card in my phone it wil be blank in d phone. Unless i copy out d files, format d card and paste back content. If i try repeating d process again thinkin dat if it was a virus, it may have been deleted, It will happen again.

chucky234: Bros na explain, no be esplain.

unseen hands while pinging wit nokia torch. It could happen to anybody ok?

silvoice: Someone installed norton anti-virus in my laptop. Since then, when i put any external drive lik my phone memory card, it will scan automatically.

ITbomb: Remove the Norton and install Microsoft Security Essential

thanks, but is it d only option?

billy187: Well, I'm doing 120km +on the highway in my 2008 l4 camry se and come up behind this ford bus...to overtake? there's a blind corner up ahead noow! Then i think to myself...'ah! i overtake toyota v8 jux naw, abi ford be little pikin make I ovatake am fast fast' So you brace yourself and move into the oncoming lane to overtake. Wait, what's that sound in the sunroof? that must be your common sense escaping for its dear life! Brimming with self confidence sans common sense you floor the gas, only to meet an equally speedy Hummer 2..............

Thats overconfidence

OK so you're now driving a lion 406 v6 prestige and you catch up with a massey fegurson tractor doing approximately 10 km/hr. you want to overtake but all the grisly pictures of overtaking gone wrong cross your mind and scare u to death! So you make up your mind to stay put, never mind it being a straight road with no oncoming in sight; never mind it being a six lane dual carriageway, never mind the cattle in the tractor ahead spewing fresh diarrhoea on your bonnet! You're not overtaking!!

Thats under confidence.

Yeah, i'd be rather underconfident than dead. However ideally, common sense and experience should lead you to excercise a healthy amount of confidence and discretion.

thanks, u are indeed a good teacher, by using real life situation to esplain it.

I know most people wil not comment here because they are like either B or A

fyneboi79: Over confidence and a lack of confidence are actually bad.One should drive with d right level of confidence with safety in mind at all times while behind the wheel.

u are right. Only that it's difficult 2 differenciate btw confidence and over confidence, while driving.

I have two friends. Both are what we can call an average nigerian, working in d same organisation with me. They both recieves a salary of 80k per month. For identification purpose, let's call one 'A' and d other 'B'. 'A' has a high taste, uses expensive phone and is always begging for money from everyone at any given opportunity. Of course, if u beg him he wil tell u: "u know i don't have" he wil never give u money but wil always beg.
Then 'B' is a reserved fellow who wil never agree that he has money, but unfortuntely, he will never beg for money. It seems that he always use his money for himself alone and will not beg to add to his'. D question is Which is greediness- B who will not give and will not ask or A, who's always asking but will not give?
If u think both are greedy who is more greedy?

abatically: Some bad driving habits I noticed

1. Honking of horn unnecessarily on streets or in traffic even when it is obvious the person in front of u is also stuck.

2. Speeding over zebra crossing. It is recommended to slow down when passing through a zebra crossing, and then stop for pedestrians to cross if there are any.

3. Executing a turn or switching lanes without using turn indicators or trafficators. .

4. Stopping in the middle of the road to drop or pick passengers. This is very common with danfo drivers, I wonder where these guys get their driver's license.

On point. Summarised as impatient.

CityNG: That's going to be subjective subject.

Here are what I don't like personally and I question the driving maturity of whomever I observe doing it.

1) Reving up a red cold engine, especially when said vehicle is a modern fuel injected one.

2) Blipping the throttle in between gear changes, not necessary in modern cars with synchronized gears.

3) Holding a vehicle on the hill by balancing the clutch and throttle.

4) Driving with mismatched tires, the car simply won't drive or track well and will wander.

5) Driver not maintaining a line on the road though admittedly this is hard on most Nigerian roads.

agreed! atleast 90%. The remaining 10% can be excused based on circumstances as in no 2 , 3 and 5

CityNG: You need confidence that is attained by hours behind the wheel and experiencing diverse condition to be an accomplished driver.

Take your car onto a wet grassy football field and practice controlling it.

I'm not talking of learners. I'm specifically refering to how u press ur clutch, ur break, turn ur steering, enter or avoid potholes, Rev ur engine, use ur mirrors and signaling at d right time etc. In manual cars. Even auto-Transmission.

silvoice: First, a skill driver should help us differenciate between a bad driver and bad driving habits. What are bad driving habits u know? If possible, help us esplain the two concepts for beginners like us. Or are they the same thing? I don't think so.
I'v heard people talk about bad driving habits. over confidence or lack of it which is an attribute of a bad driver or driving as the case may be?

it's also possible that, this is why cars tend to devolop fault with a particular driver than another, as was observed by my lanlord who said that his car goes to auto workshop at least once in every month until he changed his driver an for four months in a row, he did not consult any mech. For repair .

lomomike: oh im sorry no mind no mind me, na today's multitasking activities cause am. Hope we are good bro?

u're welcome

lomomike: What's the meaning of those gibberish you scribbled above and quoted me? Please for Christ's sake DON'T include me in that ish I only helped with a harmless advice because I felt you weren't satisfied with replies and my moniker was quoted. Feel free to do whatever you like with your car But DON'T quote me again.

sorry! It seems you don't understand pidgin english. In anycase. It's a simple joke. If you don't understand the suicide angle, let me esplain: if this devils called Boko Haram snatch ur car in today and use it for suicide bomb an hour later. You will be linked to d crime as d owner of d car.
No insulting word in that post, ok?

lomomike: Mr silvoice, calm down learn to be patient and don't get offended or frustrated. This thread stays opened, Thanks.

hahaha! Like OBJ, 'i dey laugh ooh!' I no need security again. I go tie red and white cloth to my wiper, a small earthen pot with a feather on d dashboard: 4 thief we dey fear juju. Then my bible and anointing oil behind my gear: 4 christian thief. But if na Boko H. Thief, my guy i wil tel them 2 giv me their registration form, so dat i go do the suicide myself. Because i no go loose my car and police or JTF go come link me with terrorism. Them go come arrest me and my fellow journalists go come show me 4 TV oooh!! Chai...

mxxpunkxx1: Stop throwing tantrums like a lil' kid . . @Sultaan is a very respected here in "Car Talk"
Did you see @Sienna or @Ikenna reply you or @Lomomike or @Gazzuzz (excuse my spelling)
or @Nissparts
They are very respected and won't respond on any gibberish threads like yours.
Telling him you doubt if he even has a car, hahahaha, it's like saying if @Inspired_M even has a car, or Sienna
Their garage go buy you car over and over and over and over; up to a hundred times and over again.
Nigga even offered a prayer that even if it was stolen; its a sign of better tinz to come . . .
You should rephrase your comments . . that you want to prevent unauthorized use of your car from friends n family; not to prevent theft for car snatchers. Even armed robber wey dey escape no go snatch your car, a 1.6L engine, wen be say na Hilux Van or Nissan Patrol dem dey use pursue am. it's fu.ckin slow for a getaway

And don't even start with me . . .
My garage and your garage no dey d same mate

my guy i undastand. U hav done justice to this thread d way i wanted it wit this: ''
You should rephrase your comments . . that you want to prevent unauthorized use of your car''. With due respect to all car experts here, i apologise to sultaan. I only wanted him to clarify his post. I hereby declare this thread CLOSED!!!

0rex:

Orex, my man how far? I'm still waiting 4 this dude here to tell me why i should not install security.

sultaan: You definitely won't find it funny, but you have a working car have a Naija mechanic work on the electrical system is a really really bad idea.

I know it is your first cars but there are lots of better cars out there for you to be worried about thieves.

Thieves don't steal pink, purple or bright yellow cars because they are so obvious and will be noticed by everyone.

If you are looking for a honest advice dont mess with anything but if you have money to burn please ignore my jokes

u better reply my ealier post. Otherwise i wil assume dat u are one of those who cannot buy tire, but will come here to post that there v20, ps series: 2015 model of toyota has jus arived. U or any of ur friends should tell me why u think dat is a waste of money to restrict intruders from using my car without my consent.

@sultaan
'you have a working car' - pls esplain

'I know it is your first car' - yes


'If you are looking for a honest advice dont mess with anything' -
esplain this also.

Are u telling me not 2 secure my car because it's a cheap car or is auto-steering lock enough security. 0r is there any other reason why u think that this clean nissan that has cost me N600k, will not be stolen by a criminal if he has an opportunity.
Pls esplain.

sultaan: Then paint it pink or purple

better be serious. Believe it or not NiraLanders have been helpful to me and i wil do same to anyone that need my help here. So esplain these color thing u wrote. Or are u joking? If so, then go to joke thread cos car talk is 4 real men who want to teach and learn

0rex: You are welcome. I think purchase & installation should be about #7,000.

ok that's encouraging. Thanks

sultaan: The fact that you are driving a "little nissan sunny 1.4L 1993" is security enough.
Anyone crazy enough to snatch that is doing you a favor so you will get something better Amen

Right now robbers wont see that car even if its painted bright yellow.

I guess you now have an idea why no one responded.If you don't those exhaust fumes must have done a permanent damage

i guess u are right. But let me tell u dat people snatch cars for different reasons: agbero snatch 2 collect 'matching ground' Robbers: for escape. Boko haram: suicide bombing. Car thieves: for spear parts. Ur friends: for flexing. Ur wife: to prove a point to u, etc.
So I just want something that will make d car un accessible to an unwelcomed driver.

0rex: You can install the Watchdog Timer security system. It is the type you must press a hidden button after opening doors before you can start the car. It is fairly cheap.

thanks man, do u have an idea of how much it will cost me to install this. After reading ur comment, i met an electrician, he said i should giv him N10.000 for it.

Stil no coment?

Ikenna351: Then its safe. Nothing wrong with it.

Ikenna

again, thanks. I Wish i know at least 60% about car repair. I will not need any mechanic again. I will just buy tools and repair my car when d need arises

Ikenna351: I don't understand. You mean while car is stationary and engine off?

Ikenna

yes
