Hi swati,

Since i see that yu have newly registered so you must first read the rules of forum and follow them.

simple questions like these are not allowed to be posted as these kinds of questions have already been asked and answered so many times and a simple search would give you the answer, so just remember to search before asking any question.

cheers,
