Credant mobile guardian uninstall

Since we all used to have laptops, the company had asked us to install a new software, Credant mobile guardian, for encrypting data on the hard disk. After installing it, the restart dialog kept coming as many times as it was rebooted.
Finally, frustrated, I renamed the file name in c:\Windows\System32\CmgShieldUI.exe to CmgShieldUI_.exe and CmgShieldSvc.exe to CmgShieldSvc_.exe
Then, kill CmgShieldUI.exe from task manager (For n00bs out there, 'kill' means 'End process').
Hover over the tray icon & it disappears!
Also it might be a good idea to remove these from startup (msconfig).

P.S. If you noticed, I didn't really uninstall, but just hacked my way through to disable the damn thing. This procedure should work with pretty much any software that's annoying the same way this one does.

Restaurants around Kodihalli & Jeevan Bhima Nagar, Bangalore

After having stayed here for more than three years, I've made a decent list of restaurants which I frequently visit. Since just having the list isn't enough, I'm adding some opinions of my own about them. In general, they've been sorted based on my preference.

- TFC a.k.a. Thunder Fried Chicken, Jeevan Bhima Nagar Main road, near Kodihalli bus stop - excellent place for take-aways. Try Chicken Fried Rice & Shawarma there. Shawarma isn't available after around 9 pm. The preparation begins at around 6.30-7pm. The place is usually open till around 11 pm. Closed in the afternoons on weekdays. However, they're open in the afternoons on weekends. Being less about 5 minutes walk from where I stay, this is usually my first preference & I get a parcel from here about once a week on an average!

- Beijing Bites, Jeevan Bhima Nagar Main road, near Kodihalli bus stop, 1st floor - excellent place for Chinese & tasty food.

- Chung's Corner, Indiranagar 80 Ft road, near BSNL exchange - excellent place for Chinese food & good ambiance too.

- Treat, Indiranagar 80 Ft road, near BSNL exchange - good place, good food. North Indian cuisine. B.t.w. don't take any Fried Rice here - it should probably called 'Dried Fried Rice'!

- Breeze, Thippasandra Main road, near market - excellent value for money, good taste & quantity. Just a couple of stuffed Parathas should be more than enough for dinner! Multi Cuisine - North Indian, South Indian, Chinese,...

- Gharana, Jeevan Bhima Nagar main road, near Kodihalli bus stop- good North Indian/Rajasthani cuisine & excellent service. If you like you food non-spicy or a bit sweet, then this is the best place to visit.

- Wang's kitchen, Jeevan Bhima Nagar main road, opp IBP Petrol pump - good Chinese cuisine.

- Malabar, Jeevan Bhima Nagar main road, opp IBP Petrol pump - good Kerala cuisine; best for a quick bite since the service is usually quick.

- Dosa Stop, Jeevan Bhima Nagar main road, near Ekbote - best place to go for a really good quality south Indian snacks (dosas), may feel a little expensive, but worth it - especially their chutneys. Veg only.

- Calcutta Chat, Jivan Bhima Nagar main road, near Kodihalli bus stop - best chat corner in and around here. Veg only.

- Amrith Sagar, Indranagar 80 Ft road, near BSNL exchange - best place to go for a breakfast if you want the menu to be a bit more exhaustive or if you want to eat while seated. Avoid going on sunday mornings due to the church going crowd. Veg only.

- Bhavan, Tippasandra main road, previously used to be Dr. Sekar's Dosas. Quite good. Definitely one of the best tiffin center in the area. Veg only.

- Elios Chinese, behind Nandhini on Indira nagar 100 feet road. As the name says, Chinese cuisine. A bit expensive compared to similar restaurants in Jeevan Bheema Nagar, but good food.

- Kitchen Bells, opposite BEML gate. Multi cuisine. Good food, worth the money.

- Tale of Parathas, Tippasandra main road, second floor, close to the petrol pump on this road. Extensive menu having almost all kinds of parathas you can imagine. Parathas only - no rice or such stuff. Veg only.

- Pongal, Jeevan Bhima Nagar main road, near Kodihalli bus stop, 1st floor - used to be one of the best veg tiffin centers in the area. Probably still is. Haven't gone there for a long time. Didn't like the dosas there, the ones at Amrit Sagar are better. Veg only.

- Herbs & Spices, Indranagar 80 Ft road, near BSNL exchange - expensive but a good one.

-World Cuisine Network, Indira Nagar 80 feet road, opposite Bank of India. All cuisines available. Exorbitant.

- Plantain Leaf, Thippasandra Main road, near FabMall, 1st floor - spicy Andhra food. Other cuisines also available.

- some kannada mess on Jeevan Bhima Nagar main road, opp IBP Petrol pump - decent food; but can get boring after a while.

- Karavali, Jeevan Bhima Nagar main road, near Kodihalli bus stop - kerala cuisine; try egg appam there if you like an uncooked egg on a half cooked appam.

- Kairali, Jeevan Bhima Nagar main road, near Kodihalli bus stop - kerala cuisine, just tried once; didn't like it.

- Simply Veg, Jeevan Bhima Nagar main road, near Kodihalli bus stop. Being a 'veg only' hotel, haven't gone even once!

- Begum's, Thippasandra Main road, near market - best avoided because of the number of cockroaches they nourish.

If you're okay with going a little far, then there are always many good options on CMH road, Old Airport road, Thippasandra main road, Indiranagar 80 feet and 100 feet road, etc. such as Nandhini, Barbeque nation, Royal orchid, Raaga, KFC, Pizza hut, Pizza corner, The Village, Laajawaab, Ballygunge Palace, etc.

P.S. Given the dynamic nature of the restaurants in this area, I'm sure that this list would become obsolete soon. So, as of today, this is it.
