    Oh my that is a bummer.Why don't you try the geek squad.Those guys are so good at data recovery and always make regular backups.I personally use an online backup called www.safecopybackup.com.It is so cheap and the setup alone does not even take more than 2minutes.It is what i use and it has kept all my files secure.And now they have upgraded all the spaces and they are now also offering a free unlimited 5GB trial version to its clients

Java Tools Plugin for Notepad++

This post and the plugin is outdated. Please use plugin from this link which is updated and allows customization of shortcut key mappings and much more . Notepad++ is a great free editor.

Run - executes a java file. For using this plugin Java must be installed on the system.

This algorithm supplants DES algorithm. This post shows how to use AES algorithm in Java to encrypt and decrypt data. Encrypting Data- import java.security.GeneralSecurityException; import javax.crypto.Cipher; import javax.crypto.KeyGenerator; import javax.crypto.SecretKey; public class AESTest1 { public static void main(String[] args) throws GeneralSecurityException { KeyGenerator keyGenerator = KeyGenerator.getInstance("AES"); keyGenerator.init(128); SecretKey key = keyGenerator.generateKey(); Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES"); cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key); byte encryptedData[] = cipher.doFinal(args[0].getBytes()); } } In above example we have used KeyGenerator class, which generates key for encrypting data, as we are using...

Java Tools Plugin for Notepad++ Update

This post and the plugin is outdated. Please use plugin from  this link  which is updated and allows customization of shortcut key mappings and much more . This post is regarding the update for Notepad++ plugin which I wrote to use compile and execute Java programs from the Notepad++ editor itself. I have updated the plugin so that user can customize the shortcut keys assigned for compiling and executing the programs. Following image shows simple Settings dialog where you can customize the shortcut keys mapping. Although user can customize the keys but to apply them Notepad++ must be restarted. Well, I tried but in Notepad++, there is no way to change mapping after initialization process of plugin.. Click here to download the plugin.
