Planet Alignment Could Crash Net
By Martin Stone, Newsbytes.
February 03, 2000
Doomsday forecasters have shifted their attention from the Millennium Bug, which proved to have little bite, to an extraterrestrial occurrence destined to take place May 5, when a cluster of planets will align with the Earth.
Some say the phenomenon has the potential of creating colossal cosmic forces which could severely impact our planet.
Occurring only once every 6,000 years or so, the rare alignment of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, the Earth, the Sun, and the Moon could cause a magnetic surge with the potential to crash power grids, blind satellites, and seriously disrupt radio and landline communications, taking the Internet down in the process.
However, not all astronomers agree that the so-called "grand alignment" will have an effect on terra firma. According to a Canadian newspaper report this week, John Mosely, an astronomer at the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, has proclaimed, "There will be no effect whatsoever. It's just complete nonsense." An astronomer at St. Mary's University in Halifax was blunter, calling the fears, "Just a load of crap."
But the same article, filed by the Canadian Press wire service and carried by Monday's Montreal Gazette newspaper, quoted Georgia-based futurist Richard Noone as saying the alignment could trigger a massive magnetic flux and a huge solar storm. "We're talking about a solar mass ejection in which a billion-tonne wave of super-hot, electrically charged gas is discharged from the Sun and crosses space like a giant tidal wave. It would crash into Earth's electromagnetic field at 620 miles a second."
As well as the communications systems wipeout, Noone predicts the cosmic event could produce a spectacular display of northern lights, which he said might be visible as far south as Florida.
Survival Center Website operator Craig Smith told Newsbytes, "Yes, the potential does exist. The big question is - but will it?" He refers to Noone's article "Are We Approaching the Abyss?" and quotes, "Past solar storms have caused incredible damage, including disruptions of radio, television, telephone, satellites, radar, power lines, power company grids and other sophisticated electronic technologies. These past solar storms will be mere blips of inconvenience to us, compared to The Storm of the Millennium coming this spring."
More of Noone's predictions can be found at http://rnoone.com .
However, Philip Plait, operator of an astronomy-focused Website, told Newsbytes, "There will be no natural ramifications whatsoever from this alignment. The gravitational and tidal effects are so puny that they will be unmeasurable. Last December's full Moon was unusually close. I did a quick calculation and showed that the gravity of that full Moon was much larger than the Moon and planets in this upcoming alignment. We weren't destroyed on Dec. 22, and we won't be in May.
"There won't be any electromagnetic effects either. The Sun is the only real contributor of these kinds of effects to the Earth. The sunspot cycle and therefore solar activity will be at a maximum this year. However, this has nothing to do with the alignment."
Plait has posted a wealth of grand alignment information on his site at http://www.badastronomy.co/bad/misc/planets.html .
Other doomsayers fear an extraordinary gravitational pull on our planet, which would wreak havoc in many ways, including causing the Earth's tilt to change, not to mention earthquakes and floods.
Many scientists anticipate a major solar disturbance this year but most insist the grand alignment will have no effect on solar storms, which occur in predictable 11-year cycles. Major storms and eruptions on the Sun's surface have been known to affect communications systems and are blamed for a province-wide blackout in Quebec in 1989.
Plait summed up the controversy by declaring, "There will be a lot of people trying to tell you something different than what I am saying here. Chances are, they're trying to sell something."

Unlocking WinXP's setupp.ini
WinXP's setupp.ini controls how the CD acts. IE is it an OEM version or retail? First, find your setupp.ini file in the i386 directory on your WinXP CD. Open it up, it'll look something like this:
ExtraData=707A667567736F696F697911AE7E05
Pid=55034000
The Pid value is what we're interested in. What's there now looks like a standard default. There are special numbers that determine if it's a retail, oem, or volume license edition. First, we break down that number into two parts. The first five digits determines how the CD will behave, ie is it a retail cd that lets you clean install or upgrade, or an oem cd that only lets you perform a clean install? The last three digits determines what CD key it will accept. You are able to mix and match these values. For example you could make a WinXP cd that acted like a retail cd, yet accepted OEM keys.
Now, for the actual values. Remember the first and last values are interchangable, but usually you'd keep them as a pair:
Retail = 51882 335
Volume License = 51883 270
OEM = 82503 OEM
So if you wanted a retail CD that took retail keys, the last line of your setupp.ini file would read:
Pid=51882335
And if you wanted a retail CD that took OEM keys, you'd use:
Pid=51882OEM
Note that this does NOT get rid of WinXP's activation. Changing the Pid to a Volume License will not bypass activation. You must have a volume license (corporate) key to do so.
Just some random screenshots:

Remove Saved Passwords
Windows XP offers the ability to save passwords for web sites and network resources. This can be very convenient as opposed to remembering and entering the username and password each time you need access, but it poses a security risk because anyone who has physical access to your computer would also be able to log into those sites using your saved credentials. While biometrics and other user authentication methods have become more widely used and accepted in recent years, the prevailing method of user athentication remains the username and password. Users have passwords to access their computer, shared network resources, web sites, business applications and other resources.
Different sites and applications have different policies regarding how to create the passwords and standard security practices suggest that users should use a different and unique password for each login. For many users it becomes unruly to recall the various usernames and passwords and they may write them down on a notepad in their desk drawer or put it on a sticky note on their monitor so they can remember them all. Of course, anyone else can also come along and read the passwords as well.
Windows XP offers users the ability to retain passwords so that the authentication information required to login is automatically pre-populated when the different sites or resources are accessed rather than the user having to enter them each time. Because this requires being logged into the computer in the first place it provides some convenience for the user while remaining more secure than writing everything on a sticky note on the monitor. Unfortunately, it is still counter-productive from a security perspective because anyone who sits down at the computer while it is logged in or gains access to your computer user account will subsequently be able to access all of the various sites and resources as if they were the user because of the cached login credentials.
Windows XP does not offer a very easy way to review or remove the saved passwords though. If you follow the steps below though you can access a graphical interface to add, remove or edit the saved passwords on a given system.
1. Click Start and select Run
2. In the Open field type "rundll32.exe keymgr.dll, KRShowKeyMgr"
3. Once the Stored Usernames and Passwords interface opens you can select any of the entries and select Properties to view the existing information
4. To remove a saved password you can select one of the entries and select Remove. A confirmation screen will appear. Click on OK and the account will be removed
5. You can add additional saved passwords as well by clicking on the Add button and entering the appropriate information
6. Repeat the steps above as needed to add, remove or edit saved passwords
7. When you are done using the interface click the Close button

Windows 9x install control
Do you need to install Windows from your CD but lost the CD Key and the Certificate of Authenticity? There are a few methods that you can use to get Windows installed. On this page I will discuss two of the easiest methods for installing Windows 9x and Millennium without a key.
The idea here is to get Windows to think it is either an OEM version being installed that does not require the CD Key or make Windows think it is being installed over a network without supervision so that a CD key is not asked for.
To get this accomplished we need to change the setting ProductType in the Setuppp.inf file located inside one of the Precopy?.cab files. Windows Me uses only Precopy1.cab while 9x can use 2 or 3. Since we cannot re-save the file back into the cab file we need to approach this from a different angle.
You may need to try a few different methods to get the one that works for you.
Method One: (easiest)
Start installing Windows from inside of Windows. When you are asked to except the License Agreement do not click on "Next", YET! Now bring up the Start Menu (Ctrl + ESC buttons) and in the Run window type Notepad. Have Notepad open the file WININST0.400\Setuppp.inf. Do a search for the string "ProductType", and change the value from 9 to 1. If the value 1 fails try one of the other values as noted below
ProductType=1: Upgrades without asking for CD KEY (serial number)
ProductType=2: CD Key required
ProductType=5: Asks for CD Key, but won't take valid keys- and you get the option to "ignore" and go on.
ProductType=6: Works OK (?) (?)
ProductType=7: Works on Windows 95 and 95 A
ProductType=9: OEM non upgrade version
Now save the changes and continue the installation.
Method Two:
You will need to copy all the Windows installation files to your hard drive first. Then in the same folder you copied the files to create a new file Msbatch.inf. Add the following:
[Setup]
ProductType=1
(press Enter)
(press Enter)
Save the file and install Windows.
When Windows has completed installing go to the Registry Key in RegEdit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE|Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion and get the value of the Data "ProductKey", for Windows 95, it will be "ProductID". If you have Windows 98 or ME do not use the value from "ProductID". Save the information, this is your Windows CD Key.

Boot INI Options Reference
Source - Sysinternals.com
There are number of BOOT.INI switches that are useful for driver developers that wish to test their drivers under a variety of different system configurations without having to have a separate machine for every one. For example, limiting the amount of memory NT sees can be useful for stressing memory loads, and limiting the number of processors for testing scalability. I've compiled a complete list of the options that BOOT.INI currently supports. This list is reproduced in the Startup, Shutdown and Crashes chapter of Inside Windows 2000, 3rd Ed., where you'll find more information about the boot process. Entries in red were introduced in Windows 2000 and those in blue introduced in Windows XP or Windows Server 2003.
/3GB
Increases the size of the user process address space from 2 GB to 3 GB (and therefore reduces the size of system space from 2 GB to 1 GB). Giving virtual-memory- intensive applications such as database servers a larger address space can improve their performance. For an application to take advantage of this feature, however, two additional conditions must be met: the system must be running Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000 Advanced Server or Datacenter Server and the application .exe must be flagged as a 3-GB-aware application. (See the section “Address Space Layout” in Chapter 7 for more information.)
/BASEVIDEO
Causes Windows to use the standard VGA display driver for GUI-mode operations.
/BAUDRATE=
Enables kernel-mode debugging and specifies an override for the default baud rate (19200) at which a remote kernel debugger host will connect. Example: /BAUDRATE=115200.
/BOOTLOG
Causes Windows to write a log of the boot to the file %SystemRoot%\Ntbtlog.txt.
/BOOTLOGO
Use this switch to have Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 display an installable splash screen instead of the standard splash screen. First, create a 16-color (any 16 colors) 640x480 bitmap and save it in the Windows directory with the name Boot.bmp. Then add "/bootlogo /noguiboot" to the boot.ini selection.
/BREAK
Causes the hardware abstraction layer (HAL) to stop at a breakpoint at HAL initialization. The first thing the Windows kernel does when it initializes is to initialize the HAL, so this breakpoint is the earliest one possible. The HAL will wait indefinitely at the breakpoint until a kernel-debugger connection is made. If the switch is used without the /DEBUG switch, the system will Blue Screen with a STOP code of 0x00000078 (PHASE0_ EXCEPTION).
/BURNMEMORY=
Specifies an amount of memory Windows can't use (similar to the /MAXMEM switch). The value is specified in megabytes. Example: /BURNMEMORY=128 would indicate that Windows can't use 128 MB of the total physical memory on the machine.
/CHANNEL=
Used on conjunction with /DEBUGPORT=1394 to specify the IEEE 1394 channel through which kernel debugging communications will flow. This can be any number between 0 and 62 and defaults to 0 if not set.
/CLKLVL
Causes the standard x86 multiprocessor HAL (Halmps.dll) to configure itself for a level-sensitive system clock rather then an edge-triggered clock. Level-sensitive and edge-triggered are terms used to describe hardware interrupt types.
/CMDCONS
Passed when booting with into the Recovery Console (described later in this chapter).
/CRASHDEBUG
Causes the kernel debugger to be loaded when the system boots, but to remain inactive unless a crash occurs. This allows the serial port that the kernel debugger would use to be available for use by the system until the system crashes (vs. /DEBUG, which causes the kernel debugger to use the serial port for the life of the system session).
/DEBUG
Enables kernel-mode debugging.
/DEBUGPORT=
Enables kernel-mode debugging and specifies an override for the default serial (usually COM2 on systems with at least two serial ports) to which a remote kernel-debugger host is connected. Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 also support debugging through accept IEEE 1394 ports. Examples: /DEBUGPORT=COM2, /DEBUGPORT=1394.
/EXECUTE
This optionIt disables no-execute protection. See the /NOEXECUTE switch for more information.
/FASTDETECT
Default boot option for Windows. Replaces the Windows NT 4 switch /NOSERIALMICE. The reason the qualifier exists (vs. just having NTDETECT perform this operation by default) is so that NTDETECT can support booting Windows NT 4. Windows Plug and Play device drivers perform detection of parallel and serial devices, but Windows NT 4 expects NTDETECT to perform the detection. Thus, specifying /FASTDETECT causes NTDETECT to skip parallel and serial device enumeration (actions that are not required when booting Windows), whereas omitting the switch causes NTDETECT to perform this enumeration (which is required for booting Windows NT 4).
/INTAFFINITY
Directs the standard x86 multiprocessor HAL (Halmps.dll) to set interrupt affinities such that only the highest numbered processor will receive interrupts. Without the switch, the HAL defaults to its normal behavior of letting all processors receive interrupts.
/KERNEL=
/HAL=
Enable you to override Ntldr's default filename for the kernel image (Ntoskrnl.exe) and/or the HAL (Hal.dll). These options are useful for alternating between a checked kernel environment and a free (retail) kernel environment or even to manually select a different HAL. If you want to boot a checked environment that consists solely of the checked kernel and HAL, which is typically all that is needed to test drivers, follow these steps on a system installed with the free build:
• Copy the checked versions of the kernel images from the checked build CD to your \Windows\System32 directory, giving the images different names than the default. For example, if you're on a uniprocessor, copy Ntoskrnl.exe to Ntoschk.exe and Ntkrnlpa.exe to Ntoschkpa.exe. If you're on a multiprocessor, copy Ntkrnlmp.exe to Ntoschk.exe and Ntkrpamp.exe to Ntoschkpa.exe. The kernel filename must be an 8.3-style short name.
• Copy the checked version of the appropriate HAL needed for your system from \I386\Driver.cab on the checked build CD to your \Windows\System32 directory, naming it Halchk.dll. To determine which HAL to copy, open \Windows\Repair\Setup.log and search for Hal.dll; you'll find a line like \WINDOWS\system32\ hal.dll="halacpi.dll","1d8a1". The name immediately to the right of the equals sign is the name of the HAL you should copy. The HAL filename must be an 8.3-style short name.
• Make a copy of the default line in the system's Boot.ini file.
• In the string description of the boot selection, add something that indicates that the new selection will be for a checked build environment (for example, “Windows XP Professional Checked”).
• Add the following to the end of the new selection's line: /KERNEL=NTOSCHK.EXE /HAL= HALCHK.DLL
Now when the selection menu appears during the boot process you can select the new entry to boot a checked environment or select the entry you were using to boot the free build.
/LASTKNOWNGOOD
Causes the system to boot as if the LastKnownGood boot option was selected.
/MAXMEM=
Limits Windows to ignore (not use) physical memory beyond the amount indicated. The number is interpreted in megabytes. Example: /MAXMEM=32 would limit the system to using the first 32 MB of physical memory even if more were present.
/MAXPROCSPERCLUSTER=
For the standard x86 multiprocessor HAL (Halmps.dll), forces cluster-mode Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (APIC) addressing (not supported on systems with an 82489DX external APIC interrupt controller).
/MININT
This option is used by Windows PE (Preinstallation Environment) and causes the Configuration Manager to load the Registry SYSTEM hive as a volatile hive such that changes made to it in memory are not saved back to the hive image.
/NODEBUG
Prevents kernel-mode debugging from being initialized. Overrides the specification of any of the three debug-related switches, /DEBUG, /DEBUGPORT, and /BAUDRATE.
/NOEXECUTE
This option is only available on 32-bit versions of Windows when running on AMD64 processors and only when PAE (see the /PAE switch) is also enabled. It enables no-execute protection, which results in the Memory Manager marking pages containing data as no-execute so that they cannot be executed as code. This can be useful for preventing malicious code from exploiting buffer overflow bugs with unexpected program input in order to execute arbitrary code. No-execute protection is always enabled on 64-bit versions of Windows on AMD64 processors.
/NOGUIBOOT
Instructs Windows not to initialize the VGA video driver responsible for presenting bitmapped graphics during the boot process. The driver is used to display boot progress information, so disabling it will disable the ability of Windows to show this information.
/NOLOWMEM
Requires that the /PAE switch be present and that the system have more than 4 GB of physical memory. If these conditions are met, the PAE-enabled version of the Windows kernel, Ntkrnlpa.exe, won't use the first 4 GB of physical memory. Instead, it will load all applications and device drivers, and allocate all memory pools, from above that boundary. This switch is useful only to test device driver compatibility with large memory systems.
/NOPAE
Forces Ntldr to load the non-Physical Address Extension (PAE) version of the Windows kernel, even if the system is detected as supporting x86 PAEs and has more than 4 GB of physical memory.
/NOSERIALMICE=[COMx | COMx,y,z...]
Obsolete Windows NT 4 qualifier—replaced by the absence of the /FASTDETECT switch. Disables serial mouse detection of the specified COM ports. This switch was used if you had a device other than a mouse attached to a serial port during the startup sequence. Using /NOSERIALMICE without specifying a COM port disables serial mouse detection on all COM ports. See Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q131976 for more information.
/NUMPROC=
Specifies the number of CPUs that can be used on a multiprocessor system. Example: /NUMPROC=2 on a four-way system will prevent Windows from using two of the four processors.
/ONECPU
Causes Windows to use only one CPU on a multiprocessor system.
/PAE
Causes Ntldr to load Ntkrnlpa.exe, which is the version of the x86 kernel that is able to take advantage of x86 PAEs. The PAE version of the kernel presents 64-bit physical addresses to device drivers, so this switch is helpful for testing device driver support for large memory systems.
/PCILOCK
Stops Windows from dynamically assigning IO/IRQ resources to PCI devices and leaves the devices configured by the BIOS. See Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q148501 for more information.
/RDPATH=
Specifies the path to a System Disk Image (SDI) file, which can be on the network, that the system will use to boot from. Often used in conjunction with the /RDIMAGEOFFSET= flag to indicate to NTLDR where in the file the system image starts.
/REDIRECT
Introduced with Windows XP. Used to cause Windows to enable Emergency Management Services (EMS) that reports boot information and accepts system management commands through a serial port. Specify serial port and baudrate used in conjunction with EMS with redirect= and redirectbaudrate= lines in the [boot loader] section of the Boot.ini file.
/SAFEBOOT:
Specifies options for a safe boot. You should never have to specify this option manually, since Ntldr specifies it for you when you use the F8 menu to perform a safe boot. (A safe boot is a boot in which Windows only loads drivers and services that are specified by name or group under the Minimal or Network registry keys under HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot.) Following the colon in the option you must specify one of three additional switches: MINIMAL, NETWORK, or DSREPAIR. The MINIMAL and NETWORK flags correspond to safe boot with no network and safe boot with network support, respectively. The DSREPAIR (Directory Services Repair) switch causes Windows to boot into a mode in which it restores the Active Directory directory service from a backup medium you present. An additional option you can append is (ALTERNATESHELL), which tells Windows to use the program specified by the HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ SafeBoot\AlternateShell value as the graphical shell rather than to use the default, which is Windows Explorer.
/SCSIORDINAL:
Directs Windows to the SCSI ID of the controller. (Adding a new SCSI device to a system with an on-board SCSI controller can cause the controller's SCSI ID to change.) See Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q103625 for more information.
/SDIBOOT=
Used in Windows XP Embedded systems to have Windows boot from a RAM disk image stored in the specified System Disk Image (SDI) file.
/SOS
Causes Windows to list the device drivers marked to load at boot time and then to display the system version number (including the build number), amount of physical memory, and number of processors.
/TIMERES=
Sets the resolution of the system timer on the standard x86 multiprocessor HAL (Halmps.dll). The argument is a number interpreted in hundreds of nanoseconds, but the rate is set to the closest resolution the HAL supports that isn't larger than the one requested. The HAL supports the following resolutions:
Hundreds of nanoseconds Milliseconds (ms)
9766 0.98
19532 2.00
39063 3.90
78125 7.80
The default resolution is 7.8 ms. The system timer resolution affects the resolution of waitable timers. Example: /TIMERES=21000 would set the timer to a resolution of 2.0 ms.
/USERVA=
This switch is only supported on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. Like the /3GB switch, this switch gives applications a larger address space. Specify the amount in MB between 2048 and 3072. This switch has the same application requirements as the /3GB switch and requires that the /3GB switch be present.
/WIN95
Directs Ntldr to boot the Consumer Windows boot sector stored in Bootsect.w40. This switch is pertinent only on a triple-boot system that has MS-DOS, Consumer Windows, and Windows installed. See Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q157992 for more information.
/WIN95DOS
Directs Ntldr to boot the MS-DOS boot sector stored in Bootsect.dos. This switch is pertinent only on a triple-boot system that has MS-DOS, Consumer Windows, and Windows installed. See Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q157992 for more information.
/YEAR=
Instructs the Windows core time function to ignore the year that the computer's real-time clock reports and instead use the one indicated. Thus, the year used in the switch affects every piece of software on the system, including the Windows kernel. Example: /YEAR=2001. (This switch was created to assist in Y2K testing.)

Release: All Windows DVD Filename: all_windows_dvd_x.iso
Type: OS Format: ISO
Archives: 2x 4.7gb Date: 9/07/2003
Hardware requirements:
Windows 2003 Datacenter: 400MHZ/512MB RAM/1.5GB HD
Windows 2003 Server: 133MHZ/128MB RAM/1.5GB HD
Windows XP: 233MHZ/64MB RAM/1.5GB HD

Windows 95: 33MHZ/8MB RAM/100MB HD
R E L E A S E N O T E S
This is the first-ever release of an all-windows DVD. Unfortunately,
there is not enough space on 1 DVDr to contain every version of Windows
so the versions were split between 2 DVDs. Each version is complete with
every file each cd. Standalone iso creation is included in each autorun
so any ISO can be re-created. CD-Keys are integrated in the NT series
setups (NT/2000/XP/2003) and Reset 5.02 is included to bypass
activation. Windows XP and 2003 have pre-patched uxtheme.dll's so
alternate themes can be used. Service Packs for all versions are also
included. Windows XP has Service Pack 1 integrated and Windows 2000 has

This is the first-ever release of an all-windows DVD. Unfortunately,
there is not enough space on 1 DVDr to contain every version of Windows
so the versions were split between 2 DVDs. Each version is complete with
every file each cd. Standalone iso creation is included in each autorun
so any ISO can be re-created. CD-Keys are integrated in the NT series
setups (NT/2000/XP/2003) and Reset 5.02 is included to bypass
activation. Windows XP and 2003 have pre-patched uxtheme.dll's so
alternate themes can be used. Service Packs for all versions are also
included. Windows XP has Service Pack 1 integrated and Windows 2000 has
Service Pack 4 integrated. Bootdisks are included for every version
except Windows 2003 (in \BOOTDISK). Just insert the DVD and install.
WindowsUpdate Fix version 5.8 is included for Windows 2003 VLK
installations (in \TOOOLS in DVD1). Extras are included (in \TOOLS in
DVD1), scroll down to see the list.

The Word of the Day for August 23 is:
hallmark • \HAWL-mark\ • noun 1 : a mark or device placed or stamped on an article of trade to indicate origin, purity, or genuineness *2 : a distinguishing characteristic, trait, or feature
Example sentence:Even when he was in Little League, it was clear that Dave had all the hallmarks of a great baseball player.
Did you know?Centuries ago, King Edward I of England decreed that gold and silver had to be tested and approved by master craftsmen before being sold. Later, London artisans were required to bring finished metal goods to Goldsmith's Hall to be checked, and if those items met the quality standards of the craft-masters there, they would be marked with a special stamp of approval. (The process is much the same today.) At first, people used "hallmark" to name that mark of excellence from Goldsmith's Hall, but over the years the word came to refer to any mark guaranteeing purity or genuineness, and eventually to name any sign of outstanding talent, creativity, or excellence.
*Indicates the sense illustrated in the example sentence.

Nancy Drew
Nancy Drew is the heroine of a popular mystery series for girls. The series was created by Edward Stratemeyer, founder of the Stratemeyer Syndicate The Stratemeyer Syndicate was the publisher of a number of series for children and adults including the Nancy Drew mysteries, the Hardy Boys, Tom Swift, Jr., and others.
The Syndicate was the brain-child of Edward Stratemeyer, whose ambition was to be a "paperback writer", a la Horatio Alger. He succeeded in this ambition (eventually even writing some books under the pseudonym "Horatio Alger"), churning out inspiring, up-by-the-bootstraps tales with titles such as "I Want to be an Electrician"...... Click the link for more information. . The series was ghostwritten in the early years primarily by Mildred Wirt Benson Mildred Wirt Benson (July 10, 1905, to May 28, 2002), writing as Carolyn Keene, was the author of 23 of the first 30 Nancy Drew mysteries.
Benson was born Mildred Augustine in Ladora, Iowa, and was married to Asa Wirt and, after Wirt's death, to George Benson, editor of the Toledo Blade newspaper of Toledo, Ohio. She was a graduate in journalism from the University of Iowa. She worked for 58 years as a journalist and was still writing a weekly column for the Toledo Blade at 96 at the time of her death...... Click the link for more information. . Harriet Stratemeyer Adams (who succeeded her father Edward as the head of the Syndicate), contributed a number of volumes and oversaw the substantial revisions begun in the fifties.
All books are published under the pseudonym Carolyn Keene Carolyn Keene is the pen name of the authors of the Nancy Drew mystery series, published by the Stratemeyer Syndicate. Stratemeyer hired writers, including Mildred Benson, to write the novels in this series, who were initially were paid only $125 for each book and were required by their contract to give up all rights to the work and to maintain confidentiality. Edward Stratemeyer's daughter, Harriet Adams, also wrote books in the Nancy Drew series under the pseudonym...... Click the link for more information.
Over 200 million have been sold worldwide. Many people collect the series, which has gone through several formats over the years. The series has spawned various spin-offs, most prominently the Nancy Drew Files, starting with Secrets Can Kill (1991).
Nancy Drew's father is Lawyer Carson Drew, her mother died when she was young, so she lives in River Heights with her father and her housekeeper Hannah Gruen. She is often joined in her sleuthing activities by her close friends George Fayne and Bess Marvin. Nancy's boyfriend is (usually) Ned Nickerson who often lends his support and help, while George calls on her on-off counterpart Burt Eddleton, and Bess on Dave Evans.

Simon and Schuster is a publishing house founded in 1924 by Richard L. Simon and Max Schuster, notable for its publication of Crossword puzzle books.
Crossword puzzles first appeared in the New York World in 1913. By 1924, they had been a weekly feature for many years. According to Frederick Lewis Allen's Only Yesterday: An Informal History of the 1920's Simon's aunt, a crossword devotee, asked him whether there was a book of these puzzles that she could give to a friend. Simon discovered that none had been published, and, with Schuster, launched a company to exploit the opportunity......

Edward Stratemeyer, founder of the Stratemeyer Syndicate created the plot outlines, while Leslie McFarlane wrote 18 of the first 24 books in the series, all under the pen-name Franklin W. Dixon.

Dixon is the pen name used by a variety of different authors who wrote the Hardy Boys novels for the Stratemeyer Syndicate.
Due to the popularity of the Syndicate's various series, its ghostwriters have produced "crossover" novels, containing characters drawn from multiple, otherwise independent series. For example, the Hardy Boys have solved mysteries with both Nancy Drew and Tom Swift.

Nancy Drew is the heroine of a popular mystery series for girls. The series was created by Edward Stratemeyer, founder of the Stratemeyer Syndicate The Stratemeyer Syndicate was the publisher of a number of series for children and adults including the Nancy Drew mysteries, the Hardy Boys, Tom Swift, Jr., and others.
The Syndicate was the brain-child of Edward Stratemeyer, whose ambition was to be a "paperback writer", a la Horatio Alger. He succeeded in this ambition (eventually even writing some books under the pseudonym "Horatio Alger"), churning out inspiring, up-by-the-bootstraps tales with titles such as "I Want to be an Electrician"......

The series was ghostwritten in the early years primarily by Mildred Wirt Benson Mildred Wirt Benson (July 10, 1905, to May 28, 2002), writing as Carolyn Keene, was the author of 23 of the first 30 Nancy Drew mysteries.
Benson was born Mildred Augustine in Ladora, Iowa, and was married to Asa Wirt and, after Wirt's death, to George Benson, editor of the Toledo Blade newspaper of Toledo, Ohio. She was a graduate in journalism from the University of Iowa. She worked for 58 years as a journalist and was still writing a weekly column for the Toledo Blade at 96 at the time of her death......

Harriet Stratemeyer Adams (who succeeded her father Edward as the head of the Syndicate), contributed a number of volumes and oversaw the substantial revisions begun in the fifties.
All books are published under the pseudonym Carolyn Keene Carolyn Keene is the pen name of the authors of the Nancy Drew mystery series, published by the Stratemeyer Syndicate. Stratemeyer hired writers, including Mildred Benson, to write the novels in this series, who were initially were paid only $125 for each book and were required by their contract to give up all rights to the work and to maintain confidentiality. Edward Stratemeyer's daughter, Harriet Adams, also wrote books in the Nancy Drew series under the pseudonym...... Click the link for more information.
Over 200 million have been sold worldwide. Many people collect the series, which has gone through several formats over the years. The series has spawned various spin-offs, most prominently the Nancy Drew Files, starting with Secrets Can Kill (1991).
Nancy Drew's father is Lawyer Carson Drew, her mother died when she was young, so she lives in River Heights with her father and her housekeeper Hannah Gruen. She is often joined in her sleuthing activities by her close friends George Fayne and Bess Marvin. Nancy's boyfriend is (usually) Ned Nickerson who often lends his support and help, while George calls on her on-off counterpart Burt Eddleton, and Bess on Dave Evans.
