Some General

Windows XP Tricks

Windows XP is a much better experience it you customize it according to your personal usage needs. There are many Tips and Tricks involving registry edits or tweaking some options a bit to get Windows work smarter and faster in an efficient manner. Here are very essential tips every Windows user should know to get the best from Windows and spending time in other creative stuff.

Delete Files Without Sending to Recycle Bin:

You can delete files immediately, without moving these to the Recycle Bin.
Go to the Start menu
select Run
Type ‘gpedit.msc’
Select User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Explorer
Find the “Do not move deleted files to the Recycle Bin” setting.
Select enabled option

You can also right click at the Recycle Bin to have this option to use.

Lock Windows XP with Two Clicks

You can lock your Windows XP with two clicks of the mouse.

Create a new shortcut on your desktop using a right mouse click
Enter ‘rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation’ in the location field
Give the shortcut a name you like
That’s it
just double click on it and your computer will be locked.
Windows key + L does the same

Enable Windows XP ClearType Fonts

Windows XP has ClearType (Microsoft’s anti-aliasing font display technology) but doesn’t have it enabled by default.
To enable ClearType, right click on the desktop, select Properties, Appearance, Effects, select ClearType from the second drop-down menu and enable the selection.
Expect best results on laptop displays.
If you want to use ClearType on the Welcome login screen as well, set the registry entry HKEY_USERS/.DEFAULT/Control Panel/Desktop/FontSmoothingType to 2.

User Task Management

You can run a program as a different user without logging out and back in again.
Right click the program icon
Select Run As
Enter the user name and password you want to use.

Disable Default Notifications

Windows XP can be very insistent about you checking for auto updates, registering a Passport, using Windows Messenger and so on.
After a while, the nagging goes away, but if you feel you might go insane before that point, run Regedit,
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Explorer/Advanced and create a DWORD value called EnableBalloonTips with a value of 0.

Network Activity Light

Windows XP comes with a free Network Activity Light, just in case you can’t see the LEDs twinkle on your network card.
Right click on My Network Places on the desktop
Select Properties
Right click on the description for your LAN or dial-up connection
Select Properties
Check the Show icon in notification area when connected box
You’ll now see a tiny network icon on the right of your task bar that glimmers nicely during network traffic.

Speed-Up Your Start Menu

The Start Menu can be slow when it decides to appear, but you can speed things along by changing the registry entry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Desktop/MenuShowDelay from the default 400 to something a little snappier. Like 0.

Batch Rename Files

You can rename loads of files at once in Windows Explorer. Highlight a set of files in a window, then right click on one and rename it. All the other files will be renamed to that name, with individual numbers in brackets to distinguish them. Also, in a folder you can arrange icons in alphabetised groups by View, Arrange Icon By — Show In Groups.

Remove Useless System Software

Windows XP hides some system software you might want to remove from Add or Remove Programs, e.g. Default Windows Messenger.

Using Notepad, edit the text file /windows/inf/sysoc.inf, search for the word ‘hide’ and remove it.
Go to the Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel, select Add/Remove Windows Components and there will be the hidden software which you can now uninstall it.

Interesting DOS Commands

For those skilled in the art of DOS batch files, Windows XP has a number of interesting new commands.

‘eventcreate’ and ‘eventtriggers’ for creating and watching system events
‘typeperf’ for monitoring performance of various subsystems
‘schtasks’ for handling scheduled tasks.

Typing the command name followed by /? will give a list of options.

IP Version 6 Support

Windows XP has IP version 6 support. the next generation of IP.

Type ‘ipv6 install’ into Run. (It won’t ruin your existing network setup)
Type ‘ipv6 /?’ at the command line to find out more.

Task Termination at Command Line

You can get rid of tasks on the computer from the command line by using ‘taskkill /pid’ and the task number, or just ‘tskill’ and the process number. Find that out by typing ‘tasklist’, which will also tell you a lot about what’s going on in your system.

Make ZIP Files like Regular Folders

Windows XP will treat Zip files like folders, which is nice if you’ve got a fast machine.
On slower machines, you can make XP leave zip files alone by typing ‘regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll’ at the command line.
If you change your mind later, you can change things back by typing ‘regsvr32 zipfldr.dll’

WMP Album Cover Arts

Windows Media Player will display the cover art for albums as it plays the tracks, if it found the picture on the Internet when you copied the tracks from the CD.
If it didn’t, or if you have lots of pre-WMP music files, you can put your own copy of the cover art in the same directory as the tracks.
Just call it folder.jpg and Windows Media Player will pick it up and display it.

Handy Shortcut Keys

Windows key + Break: brings up the System Properties dialogue box
Windows key + D: brings up the desktop
Windows key + Tab: moves through the taskbar buttons.

Windows XP Faster Startup

You can start up without needing to enter a user name or password.
Select Run from the start menu and type ‘control userpasswords2′, which will open the user accounts application.
On the Users tab, clear the box for Users Must Enter A User Name And Password To Use This Computer and click on OK.
An Automatically Log On dialog box will appear; enter the user name and password for the account you want to use.

Delete Temp Internet Files Automatically

Internet Explorer will automatically delete temporary files, but only if you tell it to.
Start the browser, select Tools > Internet Options > Advanced
Go down to the Security area and check the box to Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed.

Change Windows Tones !

Customize Windows Event Tones And Sounds:

Are you bored with the same Windows start-up tone, system shutdown tone and other Windows tones (sounds). You can change these tones (sounds) easily to your favorite sounds.

I will give you an example by changing Windows startup sound.

Change Windows Start-up tone

Using any audio cutter software or Windows Movie maker you take a little part of your favorite music. Make the clip of 3 to 4 sec duration.

Convert the clip to WAV audio format using any audio converter.
Rename the file name like startwin or something like this.
Now copy the converted audio clip to C:WINDOWSMedia
Open Control Panel > Sound and Audio Devices.
Go to Sound Tab.
Go to Program events box.
Under Windows categories, single click on Start Windows.
Under the Program events box You will find a box as Sounds.
Click on it’s dropdown box and select startwin.wav .
Now click on Apply > Ok.
You are done.
Restart your computer to hear the new Start-up tone.
You can go with similar process for other event sounds.

How To Install XP on Windows 7

Now, you can install a lower version on to a higher version of windows like XP on win7 or XP on vista,
Follow these steps:

When PC starts press F2 to go into ‘Setup’ Options.
Go to ‘System Configuration’
Select ‘SATA Opreation’ which configures the operating mode of the integrated SATA hard drive controllers.

There will be three options.

• Disabled (SATA controllers are hidden)
• ATA (SATA is configured for ATA mode)
• AHCI (SATA is configured for AHCI mode)

I had Windows VISTA at this Laptop but I wanted Windows XP for a while. Whenever I was trying to install Windows XP; it gave me ‘Blue Screen of Death’ and the system had to be rebooted.

What I had to do from Setup Options; I changed the configuration of above setting from AHCI to ATA.
I was able to install Windows XP, alright. Changing this setting will disable your old installed OS to run and you have to reinstall the OS again anyways.
Okay that’s it.

NOTE: If you need to downgrade Windows OS for a while, go do it. But I would prefer using Windows Vista (Windows 7 – even better) than using Windows XP.

*(Try at your own risk)

Search Only HQ Videos On YouTube

Sometimes we need just High Definition/High Resolution Videos while searching from YouTube. If we search normally from YouTube, we will get mixed results. e.g. Normal Quality and High Quality. Most in the results will be low quality videos. To save our time we have a trick to find just HD/HQ version of YouTube videos in search results. This is very useful when you are collecting video URLs for your presentation but you need only High Resolution videos and you do not want to spend much of your time in exploring.

This easy trick will only display high quality videos in the search results.

• Go to Google.com
• Type search phrase and add the following paramters to your search query
• site:youtube.com “watch in high quality”

To explain this with a real example, a search for “AVENGERS” related videos on YouTube would look something like this on Google:

AVENGERS “watch in high quality” site:youtube.com

Click at this link to see the search results:
Google can sense the parameters with the video in the HTML so it just gives you the required High Quality videos.

You can try to alter the above search method a bit and try searching with terms/phrases like these.

transformers “watch in high quality” site:youtube.com

transformers “definition 720p” site:youtube.com

transformers “quality=high” site:youtube.com

transformers “watch in low quality” site:youtube.com

This is the simplest and fast way to just get the High Resolution videos in results.

Facebook Hacked [News]

Kaspersky, Bit Defender, Facebook Hacked (Databases Exposed)

Recently Kasper-sky, Bit-defender, Face book websites were attacked via XSS and SQL Injections and their databases were exposed. Screen shots about their vulnerability and database tables were posted over internet.
Kasper-sky is one of the leading companies in the security and antivirus market. Their website is down right now (9 Feb 09, 6:42 pm) as I checked it, which was hacked recently. They are in maintenance mode. It seems as though they are not able to secure their own data bases. The companies who claim to secure our computers are not secure themselves. Seems incredible but unfortunately, its true. Through SQL injection some hackers were able to expose users, activation codes, lists of bugs, admins, shop and many more tables of their database. This is just a security alert though. No loss to customers and company as I suppose because the team involved is saying that their purpose is to alert the big companies about security measures. They have posted all the names of the tables in database though. Now I suppose we will see the new secure Kasper-sky website. I have used myself this antivirus for quite a long time and then I had shifted to another one.

Similarly, Bit-Defender were facing the problem.

Facebook, a website with an estimated of 5 to 10 Million in US Dollars, a number of 250-1000 employees, a website ranked number 8 GLOBALLY by alexa.com’s traffic standards, was not capable of securing their data base. Millions of accounts, email addresses and passwords up for grabs by anyone. Not only is the website vulnerable to SQL injection but it also allows load_file to be executed making it very dangerous because a writable directory can be found and injection a malicious code we get command line access with which we can do virtually anything we want with the website: upload php-shells, redirects, INFECT PAGES WITH TROJAN DROPPERS, even deface the whole website.

This is done via XSS (Cross Site Scripting) attacks and SQL injections. Using this technique hi5.com and yahoo were also affected via “evil” iframe.

UNBLOCK FACEBOOK In College!

BE TRICKY!

Its all about having some tricks with your IP so that server can't actually know what the client(you) is doing, resulting you will not be blocked. Its also safe too, because the trick is related to google. Yes, Colleges, Universities and Offices tend to stop you being social online. They sometimes block the best social websites. Good practice is to not use these websites at such places (Don’t try to be social online in colleges or offices. You have got colleagues or college mates to do that) but in case of some important stuff or emergency, you can use web proxy sites and servers to unblock YouTube, Orkut, FaceBook, MySpace, Twitter. And you can use Google to unblock any blocked website. Precisely speaking, Google can serve to be a proxy server itself. Now with these simple tricks i described, you can easily have access to any of the block websites which can be Facebook, YouTube or any other in you college office or else where!

But this is a temporary!
and Here is another best way:

Download Google Chrome and then
Go to chrome web store:

Now search for "https everywhere" in web store and click add to chrome.
now you are done.

Open up any of the blocked website.

There is still one thing, that your IP is still going to the server that you are opening these websites, now here is the way to hide your IP too alongwith:

Type http://www.newipnow.com

Click on any of the free proxy

Now after clicking on any of the free proxy a new window will be opened with google.com but with your chosen proxy. Hence, one more address bar will be appered to you now dont use your old address bar just use the new address bar and hide your IP alongwith surf everywhere.

You can also use other similar Proxy Websites to Unblock YouTube, FaceBook, MySpace and more by doing the same steps.

Use Trial Softwares for FULL

TIME STOPPER

Now its time to stop the time by using the time stopper. How cool is that? Isn't it?

Ever wondered that ‘how to install trial version again?‘ or even better than that like ‘how to use a trial version forever?‘ or ‘How to stop trial time?‘
Download any Trial software and use it for unlimited time. You can use any software forever without expiration you want. You can download trial version, right. Trial version expires after some days. You can stop that expiration. You can tell trial version of the software to not count days or do not bother about time. The software will stay and keep working like original software forever and will not expire or cease to work. You do not have to change your system clock. This little software does the trick.

Time Stopper is the software which can stop the time for try out version software. When you stop the time you can use your try-out software forever. When you stop the time of a try-out version using this Time Stopper it works via this Time Stopper. Real time and date run normally on your system. You can use any number of try-out version software with this software.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How Time Stopper Works

• Open Time Stopper
• Browse and select .exe of required trial software
• Choose the new date (Any date which occurs in between your trial software time period before expiration, suggestion: set it to two days before trial software expiration date.)
• Choose any time
• Click open software on your selected date

If you wish to create an icon for your modified trial software and do not want to open Time stopper every time then use last button in software to create new icon. open that trial software after that from that newly created icon always otherwise it can expire.

 PREY

If your Laptop or Mobile(only android) has been stolen or missing then you can have it back and catch the person who did that to you. This program uses internet connection to send you information of stealer’s whereabouts and if thief is not connected to internet, the program attempts to connect to the nearest open wifi access point available. This gives you a better chance to locate the device.

"Prey"(software) helps you locate your missing laptop or Mobile by sending timed reports with a bunch of information of its whereabouts. This includes the general status of the computer, a list of running programs and active connections, fully-detailed network and wifi information, a screenshot of the running desktop and — in case your laptop has an integrated webcam — a picture of the thief (a picture of the guy who’s using the computer).

What more could you ask. Prey is a lightweight application that will help you track and find your laptop if it ever gets stolen. It works in all operating systems and not only it is Open Source but also completely free. Prey uses a remote activation system which means the program sits silently in your computer until you actually want it to run. If so, it gathers all the information and sends it to your Prey web control panel or directly to your mailbox. The thief will never know his movements are being watched.

Disable Unwanted Stratup Items

This also helps you in increasing your system performance by disabling all those software's which run on start-up unknowingly and also make a load on to your computer. Sometimes we install too many programs and even we uninstall those, some of their files, settings or entries can left behind which are definitely unwanted and cause PC to slow down in response.
All you have to do is:

• Click Start, Run, type there msconfig and press enter.
• In the System Configuration Utility click the Startup tab.
• Uncheck programs you do not wish to load each time your computer starts.

Once done click ok and restart the computer. After the computer boots back into Windows you will receive a prompt about Windows being in a selective startup. Check the box to not receive the prompt and click ok.

*But dont disable the programs about which you dont know, only disable programs which you installed like "Dell Web Cam Central" or any other about which you know correctly*

Ubiquity [Mozilla Labs]

Mozilla has introduced Ubiquity for Firefox, which is an experiment in connecting the Web with language and straight commands. You tell it to do what you want and it does it for you straight away. Call it Web AI(Artificial Intelligence). Some features of Ubiquity are;

• Control the web browser with language-based instructions. (With search, users type what they want to find. With Ubiquity, they type what they want to do.)
• Enable on-demand, user-generated mash-ups with existing open Web APIs. (In other words, allowing everyone (not just Web developers) to remix the Web so it fits their needs, no matter what page they are on, or what they are doing.)
• Use Trust networks and social constructs to balance security with ease of extensibility.
• Extend the browser functionality easily.

“Most people do not have an easy way to manage the vast resources of the Web to simplify their task at hand. For the most part they are left trundling between web sites, performing common tasks resulting in frustration and wasted time”. You can try Ubiquity.

3 Million Hits by Worm.

A worm(kind of virus) through low security networks, memory sticks, and PCs without the latest security updates is posing a growing threat to users. The malicious program, known as Conficker, Downadup, or Kido was first discovered in October 2008. Users should have up-to-date anti-virus software.

According to Microsoft, the worm works by searching for a Windows executable file called “services.exe” and then becomes part of that code. It creates an HTTP server, resets a machine’s System Restore point (making it far harder to recover the infected system) and then downloads files from the hacker’s web site. BBC website published infected IPs statistics worldwide also. Microsoft says that the malware has infected computers in many different parts of the world, with machines in China, Brazil, Russia, and India having the highest number of victims.

It is very important to have updated anti-virus. I would recommend to have additional registry cleaner and spyware/adware removal tools. Now a days USBs are infected highly. Whenever you scan or carry some documents from the market, it is recommended to get them in email and do not use USBs for the purpose. USBs should be used for personal computer only. I would recommend you Kaspersky anti-virus, Amust Registry Cleaner, Malwarebyte’s Anti-malwarwe and Spyware Doctor.
Anti Virus Protection for any PC has been a growing need. Some people recommend cheap antivirus software solution and some suggest free virus protection software or virus removal software. Internet security software are different from antivirus and with standard scanning software you also need anti spam software sometimes. Subscribe via E-Mail so that for your when ever we post updates regarding PC security needs, you can have them.

Increase Your Internet Speed

INCREASE NET SPEED BY 20%

Boost Your Internet Speed easily with this trick. Windows uses 20% of your internet bandwidth by default! Microsoft reserve 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes (for updates and interrogating your machine etc..). Here’s how to get it back.


Click Start–>Run–>and type gpedit.msc. Hit enter.
This opens the group policy editor.
Then go to:
Local Computer Policy –>Computer Configuration –>Administrative Templates –>Network –>QOS Packet Scheduler –>Limit Reservable Bandwidth

Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the ‘Explain‘ tab:

“By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default.”
So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO. This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20%. Works on XP Pro and 2000. Enjoy your full speed internet connection.

HIDE Hard-Drives

SHOW/HIDE Hard-Drives from My Computer

There are times when you might want to hide one or more of your windows drives because of security reasons (children getting up on the system and messing up everything or if the computer is in use by multiple people). For theses reasons, you would just prefer to hide your data in a safe place and if one of your drives is full of sensitive information, you would rather hide the drive from My Computer.

There is a way of doing it, from the "group policy editor". Let me explain you both of them:

Hiding drives using Group Policy Editor:

Go to Start –> Run –> gpedit.msc
The group policy editor will open. Go to the following node:
User Configuration –> Administrative Templates –> Windows Components –> Windows Explorer
Now go to the right hand window and double click the value “Hide these specified drives in My Computer”, select enable and select the drives from the drop down menu.

Note: This is restrictive in the sense that it only specifies drives up to D drive. Or all the drives can be hidden.

Why Apple is named as Apple?

How the founder's named their Company?

COMPAQ

This name was formed by using COM, for computer, and PAQ to denote a small integral object.

 According to the founder of Samsung Group, the meaning of the Korean hanja word 

"Samsung (三星)" is "tristar" or "three stars". The word "three" represents something "big, numerous and powerful", the "stars" mean eternity.

COREL

The name was derived from the founder’s name Dr.Michael Cowpland. It stands for 'CO'wpland 'RE'search 'L'aboratory.
