maheshkodamati, you have blatantly disregarded my kind request to stop adding unrelated questions into your threads. If you keep this type of behaviour up you will simply make it much harder to get any help here at LQ. And eventually, you will lose your privileges as the Mod Team isn't gonna go around moving your posts into proper locations for ever. Consider this your first (and hopefully last) official public warning regarding this matter.
