Toad: Cannot Load oci.dll: While Connecting

I installed oracle 10g on windows 7 successfully. I found everything is working except toad. I can connect the database through SQL*plus but when I open toad, my oracle installation is not appearing in the “connect using” box.
When I go through the toad user guide, find the following information how it finds client:

1.Toad first look in the toad command line for oci.dll
      2. If it is not found, then it checks the command line argument ORACLE-HOME   
3    3.      If there is no toad home defined then toad will display the home that is set as the default home active in dropdown.
4    4.To populate the drop down, toad searches the registry as follows:

      5.First, Toad reads the list of Oracle home names from the keys under HKEY_ LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\ALL_HOMES
If no Oracle homes are found there, then the Oracle home is set to HKEY_ LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE
Otherwise, Toad finds the ORACLE_HOME value for each Oracle home, if it exists. Then Toad checks the system environment variable called PATH to see
whether it contains the "bin" folder under ORACLE_HO ME. Toad selects the

Tablespace Management using Toad

You can view all of your tablespace information using toad tablespace screen from Database –> Administer –> Tablespaces Here each table describes different detailed information across all the tablespaces in database. If you open this screen from the toad DBA module then you are also able to see the “space history” and “IO history” tab along with Files, Free space, object, Fragmentation.

Changing National Character Set AL16UTF16 to UTF8

Changing National Character Set AL16UTF16 to UTF8 The national character set is used for data that is stored in table columns of the types NCHAR, NVARCHAR2, and NCLOB.  In contrast, the database character set is used for data stored in table columns of the types CHAR, VARCHAR2 and CLOB. Like the database character set, the national character set is defined when the database is initially created and can usually no longer be changed, at least not easily or without involving quite a lot of work (export, recreate database, import). Except when creating the database, where the national character set is defined explicitly, it can change implicitly even when upgrading the database from Oracle8i to Oracle9i (or Oracle10g). You require SYSDBA authorization to change the national character set. Changing the national character set means changing an Oracle Dictionary entry, but no data is changed.  $sqlplus /nolog SQL> CONNECT / AS SYSDBA SQL> Select property_value fro
