আনায়াসে ভিডিও নামানো যাবে।কোন কোন সাইট এই Addons সাপোর্ট করবে তার তালিকা Addonsটির ভেতরেই লেখা আছে।

MAKE YOUR MENUS LOAD FASTER

2010-05-12T12:26:00.002+06:00

This is one of my favorite tweaks as it makes a huge difference to how fast your machine will 'feel'. What this tweak 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.

এখন network.http.pipelining এর মান true দিন (Preference এর উপরে মাউস দ্বারা দুইবার ক্লিক করলেই false থেকে true হবে)। একই ভাবে network.http.proxy.pipelining, network.dns.disableIPv6 এবং plugin.expose_full_path এর মান true নির্ধারণ করুন। এছাড়াও network.http.pipelining.maxrequests এর মান ৪ এর পরিবর্তে ৮ দিন।

clean RAM using Notepad

2010-05-08T12:54:00.001+06:00

RAM – Random Access Memory is one of the main component of computer that is responsible for the process of the operating system. Since all the Operating systems support Multiprocessing, hence require a good RAM speed.
Since all the current running processes are stored onto the RAM, it slows the system speed. Sometimes the process which have executed but are not required by the OS are stored on the RAM. So, we can remove or freeup the RAM with unused junk data to Speedup the System or processing speed.
We can clean the RAM just by using a Notepad application. This donot require any advanced software. The process to do so is as follows.
Open Notepad
Type
FreeMem=Space(64000000)
save it as “CleanRAM.vbs” on desktop
Note: Type the name of file along with inverted commas
Run the file and your RAM may be free.
Of course you can edit the code in the file for a greater “cleaning-progress”.
For example:
FreeMem=Space(1280000000)
FreeMem=Space(2560000000)
FreeMem=Space(5120000000)
FreeMem=Space(10240000000)

পেনড্রাইভ বা মেমোরি কার্ডের ফাইল অনেক সময় ভাইরাসের কারনে সব সুপার হিডেন হয়ে যায়। ফলে ফাইল বা ফোল্ডার দেখা যায় না কিন্তু জায়গা ঠিকই দখল করে রাখে।এতে অনেকে ভাবে ভাইরাসের কারনে ফাইলগুলো ডিলিট হয়ে গিয়েছে। আসলে ফাইলগুলো যেখানে যেভাবে ছিল সেভাবেই আছে শুধু ভাইরেসের কারনে এগুলো দেখা যাচ্ছে না। এছাড়াও এই ফোল্ডার গুলোর নামে EXE ফাইল তৈরী হয়, এগুলোকে ডিলিট করে দিতে হবে।আজকে আপনদের এই সমস্যার একটি কার্যকর সমাধান দেবো।

এরকম সমস্যা হলে প্রথমে run এ গিয়ে cmd লিখেenter চাপুন। এবার আপনার পেনড্রাইভ বা মেমোরি কার্ড যে ড্রাইভে আছে তার অক্ষর(যেমন I: , J:, K: ) টাইপ করুন।এখন নিচের কমান্ড লিখে enter চাপুন-
attrib -s -r -h -a /s /d

আপনার সমস্যার সমাধান হয়ে যাবে এতেই।

ঐ কমান্ডগুলোর অর্থটাও বুঝে নিন-
এখানে attrib মানে attribute এর সংক্ষিপ্ত রুপ।
s = system file or super hidden
r = read only
h = hidden
a = archive
/d = directory
/s = sub directory

Speed Up Internet Browsing

2010-04-29T11:48:00.001+06:00

When you connect to a web site your computer sends information back and forth. Some of this information deals with resolving the site name to an IP address, the stuff that TCP/IP really deals with, not words. This is DNS information and is used so that you will not need to ask for the site location each and every time you visit the site. Although Windows XP and Windows XP have a pretty efficient DNS cache, you can increase its overall performance by increasing its size.
You can do this with the registry entries below:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache\Parameters]
"CacheHashTableBucketSize"=dword:00000001
"CacheHashTableSize"=dword:00000180
"MaxCacheEntryTtlLimit"=dword:0000fa00
"MaxSOACacheEntryTtlLimit"=dword:0000012d
Make a new text file and rename it to dnscache.reg. Then copy and paste the above into it and save it. Merge it into the registry

কয়েক মিনিটে ইনস্টল করুন উইন্ডোজ সহ সকল application !

2010-04-29T11:45:00.001+06:00

নানা কারনে উইন্ডোজ নষ্ট হয়ে যায়।এর ফলে নতুন করে উইন্ডোজ ইনস্টল দিতে হয়।নতুন উইন্ডোজ দিতে আর অন্যান্য application চালু কয়েক ঘন্টা সময় লাগে। কিন্তু যদি কয়েক মিনিটেই উইন্ডোজসহ সকল software ইনষ্টল করা যায় তাহলে আপনার ঝামেলাও কমে সময়ও বাচে।আসেন জেনে নিই কয়েক মিনিটে উইন্ডোজ চালুর তরিকা-
অল্প সময়ে উইন্ডোজ ইনস্টল করতে hiren boot cd লাগবে! হিরেন বুট সিডি দিয়ে আপনি কয়েক মিনিটেই উইন্ডোজসহ ঐ ড্রাইভে ইনষ্টল করা সকল software ইনষ্টল করতে পারেন। এজন্য উইন্ডোজের ড্রাইভ ইমেজ করে রাখুন এবং প্রয়োজনে তা রিস্টোর করে নিন।www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd এই সাইট থেকে ৯৫-১৭৭ মেগাবাইটের ফ্রি সফটওয়্যারটি ডাউনলোড করে আনজিপ করে সিডিতে রাইট করে নিন।
যেভাবে ইমেজ তৈরী করবেন: এখন একটি ড্রাইভে নতুন উইন্ডোজ ইনষ্টল করুন এবং প্রয়োজনীয় সকল software, ড্রাইভার ইনষ্টল করুন (আগে ইনষ্টল করা থাকলেও চলবে)। এরপরে সিডি ঢুকিয়ে সিডি থেকে hiren boot cd রান করুন। এখন Hiren’s All in 1 BootCD অপশন আসবে।সেখানে কীবোর্ড দিয়ে Disk Clone Tools… select করে enter চাপুন।এরপরে Acronics Image Enterprise Server নির্বাচন করে enter চাপলে গ্রফিক্যাল মুডে Acronics Image Enterprise Server উইন্ডো আসবে, যেখানে আপনি মাউস ব্যবহার করতে পারবেন।
এখন Create Image এ ক্লিক করে Next নির্বাচন করলে হার্ডড্রাইভগুলো দেখা যাবে। মনে করি, C: ড্রাইভে উইন্ডোজ ইনষ্টল করা আছে, তার মানে আপনার C: ড্রাইভ ইমেজ করতে হবে। তাহলে C: ড্রাইভ নির্বাচন করে Next -এ যান এবং Information বার্তা আসলে Ok দিন। এরপর যে ড্রাইভে ইমেজটি save করতে চান সেই ড্রাইভ নির্বাচন করে ফাইলের নাম দিয়ে Next করুন। এখন Create Image Mode উইন্ডো অপশন থেকে Create the full backup Image Archive অপশন নির্বাচিত রেখে Next -এ যান এবং Image Archive Splitting উইন্ডোতে Automatic অপশন রেখে Next -এ যান এবং Compression Level উইন্ডোতে এ Maximum নির্বাচন করে Next করুন। এখানে একটু বলে রাখি,এখানে ইমেজের সাইজ ছোট হবে তবে তৈরী এবং ইনষ্টল হতে একটু বেশী সময় লাগবে, আর যদি Normal নির্বাচন করেন তাহলে ইমেজ সাইজ বড় হবে এবং সময় কম লাগবে ।যাহোক, এরপরে Image Archive protection এ আপনি চাইলে পাসওয়ার্ড ব্যবহার করতে পারেন। এবার Next দিয়ে Image Archive Comments Next করুন। এখন Proceed বাটনে ক্লিক করলেই ইমেজ তৈরী হবে।
ইমেজ রিস্টোর করবেন যেভাবে: উইন্ডোজ ইনষ্টল করার সময় এই ইমেজটি রিস্টোর করে দিলেই হবে। আপনি যে ড্রাইভে উইন্ডোজ ইনষ্টল করবেন সেই ড্রাইভ ফরম্যাট করার জন্য hiren boot cd থেকে Partition Tool থেকে Partition Magic Pro 8.05 এর মাধ্যমে ড্রাইভটিকে ফরম্যাট করতে পারবেন।
ইমেজটি রিস্টোর করতে পূর্বের নিয়ম অনুযায়ী গ্রফিক্যাল মুডে Acronics Image Enterprise Server উইন্ডোতে যান। এবার Restore Image এ ক্লিক করে Next -এ যান এবং Image Archive Selection উইন্ডো থেকে আপনার তৈরী করা ইমেজ নির্বাচন করে Next দিন। এখন Verify Archive Before The Restoring উইন্ডো থেকে No. I do not want to verify নির্বাচিত অপশনটি রেখে Next করে Partition or Disk to Restore থেকে Disk নির্বাচন করে Next করুন। এরপর যে ড্রাইভে উইন্ডোজ ইনষ্টল করতে চান সেই ড্রাইভটি select করে Restore Partition Type উইন্ডো থেকে Partition (c ড্রাইভ হলে প্রাইমারী, আর অনান্য ড্রাইভ হলে লজিক্যাল) নির্বাচন করে Next -এ যান এবং Restore Partition Size উইন্ডো থেকে ডিফল্ট রেখে Next দিন। এবার Next Selection এ No I do not image করে Proceed বাটনে ক্লিক করলেই ড্রাইভে কয়েক মিনিটের মধ্যে সবকিছু আগে মতো restore হয়ে যাবে।ব্যস শেষ হয়ে গেলো কয়েক মিনিটে উইন্ডোজ ইনস্টল। hiren boot cd সমন্ধে আরো জানতে ভিজিট করুন- www.hirensbootcd.net

তবে আমার ব্যক্তিগত পরামর্শ, আপনি যদি নতুন ব্যবহারকারী হন এবং নিজে কখনো উইন্ডোজ ইনস্টল না দিয়ে থাকেন তবে অভিজ্ঞ কারো সাহায়্য ছাড়া নিজে নিজে কৌতুহলী হয়ে উইন্ডোজ সেটআপ দেবেন না।

Boot Or Start Computer Faster

2010-04-19T17:55:00.001+06:00

1. Press start->run then type msconfig and press enter.

Go to the startup tab. Here you will see a list of startup items. These are all the programs that automatically start when you boot your PC. It is these that slow down the boot up process.
So uncheck all the unwanted items like ms-office, messengers other utilities that u may not need at startup). Don't uncheck your antivirus software.

Restart your Pc to and see for yourself, your pc will now boot faster....

2. A great new feature in Microsoft Windows XP is the ability to do a boot defragment. This places all boot files next to each other on the disk to allow for faster booting. By default this option is enabled, but on some systems it is not, so below is the information on how to turn it on:

Go to Start Menu and Click Run
Type in regedit then click ok
Find "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfrg\BootOpt imizeFunction"
Select "Enable" from the list on the right
Right on it and select "Modify"
Change the value to Y .
Reboot your Pc and see the change yourself.

3.SPEED UP BOOT BY DISABLING UNUSED PORTS.!!
You may have tried many tweaks like modifying windows XP start-up applications, prefetches, unload DLLs method, etc. And yes those methods do work for me.
I have just accidentally found out another way to give you an extra boost in windows XP's boot performance. This is done by disabling your unused devices in Device Manager. for example, if you don't have input devices that are connected to one of your USB's or COM ports, disabling them will give you an extra performance boost in booting. Go to Control Panel -> System -> Hardware tab -> device manager Disable devices that you don't use for your PC and then restart.

USEFULL Youtube Video Tricks

2010-04-17T19:38:00.000+06:00

As we all know that none of the video sharing sites provide a link to download their videos. So we will have to do some tweaking and play around to download the videos. Here are some ways to download any video from the internet , they are based on the common hack (Right-click -> "Save Target As" OR copy the link into your download manager, but change the file extension to .flv)

Method 1: For Firefox Users - Install the VideoDownloader Extension from Mozilla Add-ons website - It downloads all embedded objects on a webpage including the video clips. This is very easy for beginners.

Method 2: One of the easiest ways is to copy your video URL and paste it on KeepVid Lite. When you click submit, you will be provided with a link to save the video as an FLV file.
Using these tricks you can easily download videos from Youtube or Google Videos or Metacafe.

Now some more questions that arise are:

How do I play FLV files on my computer - They dont open with windows media player or winamp or itunes or real player ?

You can download free FLV players to watch FLV files locally. A good FLV player has a simple and easy-to-remember name - FLV Player. Another nice alternative is the Riva FLV player. Try them out.

How do I split a large FLV file into smaller playable video clips?

This is the most common question among video enthusiasts - they want to split a large FLV video file into smaller chunks for editing or resharing only the interesting tidbits on the internet. To break an FLV file, get the free FLV Parser - a tiny command-line tool to split FLVs into pieces. Its intended use is to convert a large FLV into a series of shorter FLVs based on a series of millisecond-based timecodes. Using the -s switch will split the audio and video of the outputted files; the audio track will be extracted as a series of MP3 files, and the short FLVs produced will have no audio track at all.

How to convert FLV videos to Windows AVI or Quicktime MOV or 3GP formats ?

The free Simplified Universal Player Encoder & Renderer software from Super can convert FLV files to practically any other video format including MP4, MOV H.264, AVI, ASF or Flash SWF animations. Super video convertor.

How do I convert my AVI, MPEG, MOV, 3GP movie clips back to FLV format ?

Say you complete editing your movie in Windows Movie Maker or Avid and now left with an MOV file that you want to convert to FLV. Just get the free Riva FLV encoder and relax. The Riva encoder even lets you select parts of the video that you want to convert to FLV and crop the rest.

I have three small video clips that I download from Google Videos and now want to join them into one single video -How do I merge FLV files ?
There is no free software that lets you join FLV files other than the expensive Macromedia Flash Professional. However, here's a simple trick to join several flv video files - convert individual flv files to avi using Super [as mentioned above], then join the multiple Avi files into a single avi file using free VirtualDub and finally convert this avi back to FLV using Riva FLV encoder.Its done.

Add\delete programs to run every time Windows starts

2010-04-13T13:43:00.000+06:00

You can start or stop programs from executing at boot up by adding or deleting them to/from the run Keys in the Registry. Windows loads programs to start in the following order; Program listed in the Local Machine hive, then the Current User hive, then theWin.ini Run= and Load = lines. then finally programs in your Start Up folder.
To add or remove programs in the Registry
1.Open RegEdit
2.Go to the desired Key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows \CurrentVersion \Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows \CurrentVersion \RunServices
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows \CurrentVersion \Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows \CurrentVersion \RunServices
3. Add a new String Value and name it anything you like
4. For the value data, enter the path and executable for the program you want to run.
By adding the value to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive instead allows the program to start only when that user is logged on.
If you add the value to the RunOnce key the program will run once and be removed from the key by Windows.

Disable Default Notifications

2010-04-07T14:09:00.001+06:00

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.

XP Has ClearType

2010-04-07T14:08:00.001+06:00

XP has ClearType -- Microsoft'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.

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.

Tricks for Windows Explorer

2010-03-25T13:30:00.000+06:00

Open any folder and press F3. This will bring up the Find Files dialog box for that folder.
o Press Start+TAB key combination just once. Now, pressing TAB repeatedly will allow you to jump between various areas of the desktop, such as the desktop proper, taskbar, system tray, quicklaunch toolbar, and Start button.
o When you drag a file with the right mouse button, you will be presented with an option to move or copy the file when you drop it elsewhere.
o If you drag a file from some location and hover it over a folder that is minimized on the desktop without dropping it, then that folder will spring open allowing you to drop the file there.
o If you drag a shortcut and place it over the Start button without dropping it, then the Start menu will spring open and you can navigate to your special program groups and drop it there.
o Sometimes, when you have many programs open and you use the Alt+TAB combination to switch to another program, it does not switch. In this situation, press the Start button twice.
o Press Alt+F4, to close a program. If no program is open, then it functions like a Shutdown command.
o Pressing Alt+Enter after selecting an item will bring up its properties box.
o Pressing Start+Pause will bring up the System Properties of your computer.
• Adding extra options to the Send To menu: Open the Windows\SendTo folder. Create shortcuts to the programs and folders that you commonly use. My suggestion is for shortcuts to Desktop, My Documents, IrfanView, Subhash VCDPlayer, Winamp, and Windows Media Player. When you use this operation on any file, the file will copied to the chosen location or opened in the respective program.
• Adding extra options to context menu: Usually, a certain file type can be opened with many programs, but when you double-click on it only the default program opens it. To have a choice, add some extra custom options to the context menu.
Supposing you have MP3 files in your machine, which by default opens with Windows Media Player, you can have options in the context menu so that it can be opened with other programs such as Subhash VCDPlayer, Winamp, etc.
Say you want to have an option with Subhash VCDPlayer, here is what you need to do. Go to Folder Options. Click on File Types tab. From the list under Registered File Types, search for and select MP3 Format Sound. Now click on Advanced. In the Edit File Type window, click on New. In the New Action window, enter Open with Subhash VCDPlayer in the text box under Action and "C:\Program Files\Subhash VCDPlayer" "%1" (including the quotation marks) in the Application used to perform action.
Here, the ampersand symbol '∓' is placed before the 'S' in Subhash VCDPlayer so that 's' becomes the hot key in the context menu. You can follow a similar procedure, to do the same with Winamp or Sonique. Use the Edit button to modify any previous setting you have created. Exercise caution with the choice of the program. If the program and the file type are incompatible, the result can be undesirable.
In Windows 9x, go to Folder Options » File Types. Here, select the file type that you need to add custom options. Now, click on Edit. In the Edit File Type window, click on New and follow the above-mentioned procedure.
Create different options for different file types with compatible programs using this method.
• Resize columns: Press Ctrl+Plus to resize columns to best fit the contents. Do not use this trick in the Temporary Internet Files folder though. Super bad news if you frequent this folder to manually pick out files.
• Folder Options: Customizing the Windows Explorer is done via the Folder Options. To access this,
o In Windows Me/2000: From the menu, choose Tools » Folder Options.
o In Windows 9x: From the menu, choose View » Folder Options
To move between the different tabs, press the Ctrl+TAB key combination or just use the mouse.
• Setting the default view: There are five types of views available
o Large Icons
o Small Icons
o List
o Details
o Thumbnails
Open any folder and choose the type of view that you want from the toolbar. If you were to choose the Details view, then adjust the column sizes now. Then, go to Folder Options. In the View tab, click on the Like Current Folder.
• Single-click operation: Normally, to select a file you single-click and to run you double-click. You can change this to hover for select and single-click to run. Go to Folder Options. Here, in the Click items as follows section, check the Single-click to open an item and Underline items only when I point at them.

In Windows 9x, go to Folder Options, and choose Custom, based on settings you choose and click on Settings. In the Click items as follows section, choose the above-mentioned setting.
• Expanding and collapsing levels: On the folder pane, you can expand a level by pressing ASTERISK or *. To collapse a level press MINUS or -.
• Customized Links Toolbar: The Links toolbar has shortcuts to several Internet sites that you never have use for. You can replace them with shortcuts to folders or files in your hard disk or your own choice of Internet sites. To do this, go to the Windows\Favorites\Links folder. Here remove the shortcuts that Microsoft has provided and create some shortcuts to your own files and folders in your hard disk or network.
• Open links in the same window: In the above tip, when you click on any link, the link opens in a new window. To open the link in the same window, right click on the link and select Open from the context menu.
• Removing the Links toolbar: If you want to remove toolbar from showing up at all then, open a Windows Explorer window and from the menu, choose Views » Toolbars and click on Links. This will remove the Links toolbar from you Explorer window. To get it back again, repeat the process and see that the Links option is checked again.
• Favorites: You can use the Favorites instead of the Links toolbar. This is especially useful in a networked environment where you need to navigate between several nodes and folders to access any file. Go to the Windows\Favorites folder. Create a folder and give it a name of your choice. Cut all the MS-supplied shortcuts and paste them in this new folder. Now go to your Network Neighborhood and navigate to the folders that you often access and add them to your Favorites by choosing Add to Favorites from the Favorites menu. Now, to hop over to some distant folder in just a couple of clicks, you need to choose it from the Favorites menu.
• Using Favorites in other programs: The above tip can come to good use not just in Explorer windows, but also in other programs such as Word or Excel. If you need to save a file in a location that you have added to the Favorites, locate the Favorites icon in the Save As dialog box, click on it, and choose the appropriate favorite to open the folder.
• Customising the Toolbar: In Windows Me and Windows 2000, you can customise the toolbar with your own choice of buttons. For this, from the Windows Explorer menu, choose Views » Toolbars » Customize. Remove those buttons that you do not need and add those that you need.

Saving Memory and Increasing Speed

2010-03-23T13:52:00.000+06:00

After you have set your cache setting to its optimum size as mentioned above, you will find more free memory. With the following tips, you can save even more memory.
• Clear the startup programs: When you start up Windows, several programs start and get loaded on to memory. These take up precious memory. Ideally, you should remove them using the settings provided in the programs themselves. But, if you can't, then use Startup Control Panel to do that. This program after its installation will be found in the Control Panel.
• RAM: A machine's speed can be simply improved by adding more RAM rather than going for a CPU upgrade. Get some additional RAM and see the improvement. If you have adequate RAM, but memory supply seems to be bottlenecked, then use RamBooster. It routinely frees some memory and can be custom adjusted for your needs. There are several such programs, but most of them make your system unstable. I had found no such problems with Rambooster.
• Watch the programs in memory: Using software such as TaskInfo to find out which are the programs that are running in memory and weed out those that you do not need.
• Three-button salute: If you cannot get software such as Taskinfo, then just press Ctrl+Alt+Delete combination once to bring up the Close Program dialog box. Ideally, when you have all programs closed and your taskbar is empty, there should be just three programs in this box - explorer, system tray, and your antivirus program. All other programs should be a waste. Most common culprits are Microsoft office, RealPlayer, Winamp, antivirus scheduler, etc. Just remove all those that are not needed using Startup Control Panel or using msconfig from the Run dialog box.
• Increasing the performance of individual programs: You can increase the speed of a program, by setting the priority of the program's process thread to either High or Realtime. Use TaskInfo (in Win 9x/ME) or Task Manager (in Windows 2000 by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del). Do not go overboard on this or your system will look very unresponsive.
• Active Desktop: Unless you run stock market price tickers on your desktop, deactivate Active Desktop to save memory. If you have enabled Active Desktop just to enable a GIF or JPEG file as the background, then convert the file to a BMP file and set that as the wallpaper without Active Desktop.
• Plain desktop: Remove the desktop background image and set it None. This will save some memory.

Tricks For Internet Explorer

2010-03-22T19:27:00.000+06:00

Most people use Internet Explorer to browse the net. It loads up fast because parts of it is loaded by Windows as the latter boots up. Using the feedback from its huge user base, Microsoft has made numerous improvements, which you can use to your advantage.
• Disable the Links toolbar and save space. Remove the Explorer view for the same reason.
• Customize the toolbar via View » Toolbars » Customize.
• Blank home page: Set your home page to a blank one so that it loads up faster. This is done via Tools » Internet Options » General » Use Blank.
• Offline browsing:You do not have to connect to the Internet to revisit a page. You can access it from the cache. This is done via Tools » Internet Options » Temporary Internet Folders » Settings » Check newer versions of stored pages: » Never. After setting up IE like this, you can browse offline by, click on the History button. This will open up the History folder in a left pane. Browse through this to access the pages that you have visited earlier. You check the latest version on the net however by clicking on the Refresh button.
• Context Menu Extensions For IE: IE allows you to copy the address of a link with just two clicks. But to copy the address of an image on a webpage, you have make at least 5 clicks. To make things like this more easier, you can create your own context menu extensions. For this, some new keys will have to be added to the registry. These keys will refer to Javascript or VBScript functions placed in some special HTML files. Extract the HTM files to C:\. Extract the cmes.reg and double click on it. The keys will be merged into the registry. Your IE context menu will have new options - "Copy All Hyperlink Address" (default), "Copy All Image Addresses" (default), "Copy Image Address" (on images), "Set Text Size To Medium" (on selected text) and "Copy HTML Code" (on selected text). You will have to make some modification to the cmes.reg file if you are not able to place files at C:\, a common scenario for people who are on a network.
• Computer Security: Some websites have ads that tell you that your computer could be transmitting vital/private information about you, which could be targeted by hackers and viruses. They will tell you to download a security software. Considering the fact that they are using wrong tactics to sell their product, it is quite possible that their software could be doing more harm than good. No matter which software you use, it is not possible to completely hide your computer on the net. People who have always-on Internet connections like broadband or cable should instead use firewalls like the trusty ZoneAlarm or Tiny.
There are other websites that will ask visitors to install ActiveX controls like Gator or Bonzi. These are spyware and Internet users should avoid them.
Neither should you install programs like MP3 Dancer. These are spyware. Even if you uninstall them, they will still remain on your computer without your knowledge.

• Paranoia 1: IE's autocomplete feature may throw up some web addresses at the address bar, which you may not want others to see. So, clear the history. This is done by Internet Options » Clear History. If otherwise you want to selectively remove history items, then delete the appropriate folders inside the History folder. In Windows 9x/Me, the History folder is inside the Windows folder. In Windows 2000/XP, it will be inside the Documents and Settings\«User name»\Local Settings\ folder.
• Paranoia 2: Deleting the files in the Temporary Internet Files folder can remove only part of your tracks. Cookies stored by websites usually remain in this folder with their full web address. So, that is a security violation. To remove them, choose Internet Options » Temporary Internet Folder » Delete Cookies.
• Paranoia 3: All evidence is still not removed. There is a file inside the Temporary Internet Files folder called index.dat, which has some evidence of your browsing history. Delete this file too. IE will regenerate another index.dat later.
• Paranoia 4: When the Autocomplete feature is enabled, all your personal information including passwords are stored on the computer, which is available for others to misuse. So, when you are done with browsing at your office or an Internet cafe, follow the above three steps and clear the saved data by choosing Internet Options » Content » AutoComplete » Clear Forms and Clear Passwords. Sometimes, the Internet Options menu option might be disabled in your office or web cafe. So, delete the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\IntelliForms key from the registry. If you want to steal or backup passwords, export this key and import it on a different machine or installation. You will also have to copy the {username}.pwl file and cookies to the new machine/installation. Sometimes, there are ActiveX programs that sit silently recording everything. You can check them out at Internet Options » Temporary Internet Files » Settings » View Objects. This will open the Downloaded Program Files folder in the windows folder. By right-clicking the contents, you can either remove them or check out their properties.
• Paranoia 5: In certain Internet cafes, silent keyboard loggers are installed by certain people to collect userids and passwords, and send them to their email addresses. Remove these programs from memory and only then browse. Also disable form fillers such as Gator in Internet cafes.
• Dialer: When you click on a link, IE starts the dialer program. If this is annoying to you, disable this via Internet Options » Connection » Never dial a connection.
• Saving on telephone bills: You can make optimum use of your online time by opening the links in new windows rather than the current one. Take for example your HotMAIL Inbox. Every time you go there, there are many messages there. Instead of just clicking on a message and waiting for that message to load, right click on the message's link and choose Open in New Window. Go back to the Inbox and do the same for all other messages. By this time, your first message would have been downloaded. When you finish reading it, all the other messages would have been downloaded in their windows. Now, you can logout and disconnect the Internet connection.
• Downloading recalcitrant files: Most people use a downloaded manager to download huge files. But, sometimes they run into problems when the download manager is not able to catch the correct url of the file. In such cases, open the source of the page via View » Source and do a search for the download file. Usually, the full url of the file will be found here. Copy this and paste it in the download manager. If some website prevents you from right-clicking to save an image on it, just look inside the Temporary Internet Files folder for it.
• IE Toolbars ∓ Desktop Tickers: Add the Google Toolbar to IE. With this toolbar, you will get to the results without having to visit Google's home page first. You may also use Yahoo! Companion instead. With Yahoo! Companion you will be able to harness the power of the Google search engine and also get easy access to other Yahoo! services.
• If you have to keep in touch with the latest news, then get the Reuters Desktop Ticker. Reuters is the world's leading news provider and almost every newspaper and TV station in the world gets feeds from it. Once connected to the Net, headlines flash across the ticker and you can click on the headlines to see the news stories in a browser window.
• ESCAPE: Many people do not know this. If a page is being downloaded and you want to stop it, then pressing the Escape key will do that. Also, pressing Backspace key will take you to the previous page.
• Saving web pages: Beginning with Version 5, IE allows saving a web page in a single file including its images and other embedded content. To do this, choose Save As from the File menu. Here in the Save as type, choose Web Archive, single file (*.mht). Sometimes, MHT files may not show anything even though its thumbnail does show something. If you disable Javascript, you will be able to see the whatever something you saw in the thumbnail.

You can delete individual listings or the entire listing. To delete History of Find listings go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Doc Find Spec MRU and delete.

Gmail Tips #1: The 'Plus' Side of Gmail

2010-03-20T20:53:00.000+06:00

Like many Email providers, Gmail supports the standard "plus" addressing scheme. But just what is it, and how can it help me?
The "plus" method of addressing lets you add additional words to your account name (the "left side" of your email address.) For example, if your email address is "mail2sohag@gmail.com", you could add "+club" when you give your email address to members of a club to which you belong. So, your email address would now be "mail2+sohag@gmail.com". But why would you want to do this? Think of the "plus" word as an extra "keyword" or "tag" that you can use to better manage your messages.
Using our example, say you email an invitation to your friends in a club asking them to rsvp to the invitaion. You ask them to reply to "mail+2sohag@gtmail.com" when sending you a responseif they don't want to come, and reply to "mail.2+sohag@gmail.com". Assuming they follow your directions, You can then set up a Gmail Filters to automatically route emails to specific Labels based on the addresses. It's a simple example, but the uses can be numerous.

Disabling Display of Drives in My Computer

2010-03-19T14:38:00.001+06:00

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\Explorer]
"NoDrives"=dword:03ffffff

How to: Make 4 fake computer viruses!

2010-03-18T12:11:00.000+06:00

Disclaimer: Everything here is for informational purposes only.
Why not have some fun and prank your friends? There are several kinds of fake virus messages you can make. I will discuss 4 of them:
1. Fake error message

This one is by far, the easiest one to make and all you have to do is to make a new text document with notepad, type msg * YOUR MESSAGE and save as anything.bat. As always, make sure that you select All files instead of Text Document.
2. Forced shutdown

This will display a custom error message and start a countdown which will shut down the computer.
Right-click your desktop and create a new shortcut.
Paste the following code into the Location box in the Create Shortcut menu:
shutdown -s -t 30 -c “Your message here“
Replace 30 with the length of the countdown you want (in seconds) and place your custom error message between the quotes. Click next and name the shortcut to something the victim would be likely to click on such as “Internet explorer” or “My Documents”, etc.

Next you’d want to change the icon. Right-click on the shortcut you made and click properties. Find the Change Icon button and click it. Choose a suitable icon for the name you chose earlier.

And that’s all! Now you just have to sneak the shortcut onto the victim’s desktop and run!
Note: to stop it, open Run from the start menu and type shutdown-a.

3. Endless Command prompt windows
This will open up a series of command prompt windows that will never end.
The basic idea is that there are two .bat files that open the other one when opened, so the other one opens the first one again and the windows just won’t stop coming.
How to do this:
1. Fire up notepad and type: start 2.bat
2. Save it as 1.bat (make sure you choose all files when saving it)
3. Make another new text document and type: start 1.bat
4. Save it as 2.bat into the same folder as the other one.

All you have to do to start it is to click on either of them.

The only way to stop it is to wait for the windows to become so numerous that they are a group on the taskbar. Then you can use Close group to get rid of the bastards.
4. Fake Command prompt viruses
These are also a good way to make the victim believe that a worm is gnawing at their hard drive and that they can’t do anything to stop it.
Open up notepad and type @echo off
• To make text appear, type it after an echo tag.
• To have the the commands wait for the user to press any key type pause
(Note: if you write pause >nul it won’t display Press Any key to continue…)
• To have a complete high-speed description of files in the drive of the .bat file, type dir /s
• You can also initiate any other command we covered earlier, such as shutdown, error message, etc.

A Faster Way To Shut Down And Log Off Your Windows XP

2010-03-18T12:10:00.001+06:00

If you’re experiencing slow shutdowns and log offs on your Windows XP, this trick will help you.
Instead of accessing the shutdown menu via Start->Turn Off Computer, open the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
Press “Shut Down” at the top of the Task Manager and choose what you want your Windows XP to do:
• Stand By
• Hibernate
• Turn Off
• Restart
• Log off
• Switch User
The task will be performed in a matter of seconds.

How to Double Firefox Speed

2010-03-17T00:34:00.001+06:00

Firefox is in my opinion the best browser ever made until now. It includes:
-improved tabbed browsing
-pop up blocking
-integrated Goggle search
-enhanced privacy controls
-built-in phishing protection
-online spell checking
-lots of themes, interfaces, and extensions/addons
Now here are some Tips&Tricks that can help you double the speed of Firefox.
1. Type about:config in the address bar and then press Enter.

2. In the filter search bar type network.http.pipelining. Be sure the value field is set true,if not double-click to set true.

HTTP is the application-layer protocol that most web pages are transferred with. In HTTP 1.1, multiple requests can be sent before any responses are received. This is known as pipelining. Pipelining reduces page loading times, but not all servers support it.
3. Go back to the filter search bar and type network.http.pipelining.maxrequests. Double-click this option and set its value to 8.

4. In the filter search bar and type network.http.proxy.pipelining. Once opened double-click on it and set it to true.

5. In IPv6-capable DNS servers, an IPv4 address may be returned when an IPv6 address is requested. It is possible for Mozilla to recover from this misinformation, but a significant delay is introduced.
Type network.dns.disableIPv6 in the filter search bar and set this option to true by double clicking on it.

6. CONTENT INTERRUPT PARSING
This preference controls if the application will interrupt parsing a page to respond to UI events. It does not exist by default.
Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window, select New and then Boolean from the pop-up menu. Then:

A. Enter content.interrupt.parsing in the New boolean value pop-up window and click OK

B. When prompted to choose the value for the new boolean, select true and click OK.

7. Rather than wait until a page has completely downloaded to display it to the user, Mozilla applications will regularly render what has been received to that point. This option controls the maximum amount of time the application will be unresponsive while rendering pages.
Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window, select New and then Integer from the pop-up menu.

A. Enter content.max.tokenizing.time in the New integer value pop-up window and click OK

B. You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter 2250000 and click OK.

CONTENT NOTIFY INTERVAL
This option sets the minimum amount of time to wait between reflows. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window, select New and then Integer from the pop-up menu.

A. Type content.notify.interval in the New integer value pop-up window and click OK.

B. You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter 750000 and click OK.

9. CONTENT NOTIFY ONTIMER
A. This option sets if to reflow pages at an interval any higher than that specified by content.notify.interval. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window and select New and then Boolean from the pop-up menu.

B. Type content.notify.ontimer in the New boolean value pop-up window and click OK.

C. You will be prompted to choose the value for the new boolean. Select true and click OK.

10. Notify Backoffcount
This option controls the maximum number of times the content will do timer-based reflows. After this number has been reached, the page will only reflow once it is finished downloading. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window and select New and then Integer from the pop-up menu.

A. Enter content.notify.backoffcount in the New integer value pop-up window and click OK.

B. You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter 5 and click OK.

11. CONTENT SWITCH THRESHOLD
You can interact with a loading page when content.interrupt.parsing is set to true. When a page is loading, the application has two modes: a high frequency interrupt mode and a low frequency interrupt mode. The first one interrupts the parser more frequently to allow for greater UI responsiveness during page load.
The low frequency interrupt mode interrupts the parser less frequently to allow for quicker page load. The application enters high frequency interrupt mode when you move the mouse or type on the keyboard and switch back to low frequency mode when you had no activity for a certain amount of time. This preference controls that amount of time. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window and select New and then Integer from the pop-up menu.

A. Enter content.switch.threshold in the New integer value pop-up window and click OK.

B. You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter 750000 and click OK.

12. NGLAYOUT INITIALPAINT DELAY
Mozilla applications render web pages incrementally, they display what’s been received of a page before the entire page has been downloaded. Since the start of a web page normally doesn’t have much useful information to display, Mozilla applications will wait a short interval before first rendering a page. This preference controls that interval. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window and select New and then Integer from the pop-up menu.

A. Enter nglayout.initialpaint.delay in the New integer value pop-up window and click OK.

B. You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter 0 and click OK.

6 Essential Tips to Speed up Windows 7

2010-03-16T13:03:00.000+06:00

Without a doubt, Windows 7 is a much better operating system than its predecessors, but that doesn’t mean it is the speediest of them all. Due to the hardware requirement, those who still have their old computer may not get the same performance as good as they had with Windows XP. Even if the computer comes with all the latest hardware installed, there are still many factors that can substantially slow down the performance. In this article, we are going to show you 6 useful ways to improve the speed and performance of your Windows 7.

1. Disable Unnecessary Visual Effects
• Right click on “Computer” in windows start menu and choose “Properties”.
• Click on “Advanced System Settings” at the left pane.
• Under the “Advanced” tab, click on “Settings” under “Performance” category. Select the “Custom:” option.
• Look through the list and uncheck the effects that you have no used for it. (Note: For optimum result, uncheck all the check box except the last four items). Click OK.
• Restart your computer.

You will notice the result immediately.
2.Increase the Boot Speed
With this small tweak, you can decrease the boot time of your Windows 7.
• Press Windows Key + R to launch the Run window.
• Type “msconfig” and hit Enter. The System Configuration Window will appear.
• Under the “Boot” tab, find the box (on the right side) labeled with “Time out”. Generally it is set to 30.
• If you are using only one operating system then you can set the value as 0. But if you are using more than one, then set to 3.
• Check “No GUI Boot” option.

• Click the “Advanced Options” button.
• Check the box labeled with “Number of Processor” and select the number of processors in your computer. Most probably it will be 2.

• Now click “OK”.
• Click “Apply” and then “OK”.
Note: The above tricks will work only If you are using multi-core (more than one) processor in your computer.
3: Disable Windows Aero theme
Windows Aero theme is the eye candy in Windows Vista/7. While its performance was greatly improved in Win 7 as compared to Vista, it is still taking up a large amount of memory and squeezes the graphics card to its maximum. If you can live without the eye candy, then it is a great choice to disable it.
• Right click on the desktop and select “Personalize” .
• Chose One of the standard themes from the right hand side. “Windows 7 Basic” is a good choice.

4. Remove unwanted items from startup menu
Some of the applications that you have installed are automatically added tn the startup menu without your knowledge. If you are wondering why your Windows take so long to startup, they are mainly the culprit. The best way to fix this is to remove the unwanted programs and services from the startup menu.
• Press Windows Key + R and type “msconfig” in the run dialogue box.
• Go to the Startup tab. Uncheck the applications that you have no use for. (Make sure you do not remove any system services).
5.Use your USB flash drive as RAM
In Windows 7, there is this awesome and useful feature that allows you to use your USB flash drive as an external RAM.
Before you start, make sure that you are using a freshly formatted USB drive.
• plug in your USB drive. Right click on the USB drive in My Computer window and select Property.
• Under “Ready Boost” tab, check the box “Use this device”.
• Configure the space of your USB flash drive that you want to allocate for system speed.

6. Disable unnecessary system sounds
When it is active, the system sound can take up a lot of system resources and slow down the computer.
• Press Windows Key + R to open the Run window. Type “mmsys.cpl” and hit Enter.
• Go to the Sound tab. Select “No Sounds” from the Sound Scheme dropdown box

10 Youtube URL Tricks You Should Know About

2010-03-16T01:09:00.000+06:00

Youtube – You know that site with videos and all. Yeah! It turns out that its quite popular and you happen to visit and use it quite often. Instead of just searching and playing here are some top Youtube URL tricks that you should know about:
1. View high quality videos
Youtube gives you the option to switch to high quality videos for some of the videos, however you can check if a video is available in high quality format by appending ‘&fmt=18′(stereo, 480 x 270 resolution) or ‘&fmt=22′(stereo, 1280 x 720 resolution) for even higher quality.
2. Embed Higher Quality Videos
While the above trick works for playback, if however you want to embed hig quality videos you need to append “&ap=%2526fmt%3D18″ and “&ap=%2526fmt%3D22″ to the embed url.
3. Cut the chase and link to the interesting part
Linking to a video where the real action starts at 3 minutes 22 seconds, wondered if you could make it start at 03:22? You are in luck. All you have to do is add #t=03m22s (#t=XXmYYs for XX mins and YY seconds) to the end of the URL.
4. Hide the search box

The search box appears when you hover over an embedded video. To hide the search box add ‘&showsearch=0′ to the embed url.
5. Embed only a part of Video

Just append ‘&start=30′ to skip first 30s of the video. In general you can modify the value after start= to the number of seconds you want to skip the video for.
6. Autoplay an embedded video
Normally when you embed a Youtube video and load the page, the player is loaded and it sits there waiting for you to hit the play button. You can make the video play automatically by adding ‘&autoplay=1′ to the url part of the embed code.
7. Loop an embedded video
Append ‘&loop=1′ to make the video start again without user intervention after it reaches the end.
8. Disable Related Videos

Publishing your content in the form of Youtube video? Don’t want people to see other people’s content that may be related but may as well be in competition to you? Just add ‘&rel=0′ to the end of the url part of the embed code and you just turned off the related video suggestions!
9. Bypass Youtube Regional Filtering
Some videos are only available in certain parts of the world. Your IP Address is used to determine your location and then allow or deny access to the video. Change the url from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= to http://www.youtube.com/v/
10. Download Video
Although not inherently a youtube trick but useful all the same for downloading videos. Just change youtube to kickyoutube in the url of the video and it will take you to kickyoutube.com with all the options for downloading the video you were watching.

Reset the Administrator Password

2010-03-15T20:32:00.000+06:00

We inherited a PC. We can reset the PC password, no problem. But how do we reset the password to access Safe Mode?
A: If I understand correctly, you can log on as a user but you do not have the Administrator password. As long as you can log on with an account that has Administrator-level privilege you should be okay. In XP, click Start, click Run (in Vista, just use the Search field), enter control userpasswords2 (don't forget the 2 at the end).
In the dialog that appears is a panel titled Password for Administrator. Click the Reset Password button in this panel and assign a new password that you'll remember but that a malefactor or a virus won't guess.
If that button is disabled, check the box at the top that says, Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer. That will enable the button. After changing the Administrator password, close the main User Accounts dialog by clicking Cancel rather than OK. That way, your change to the "Users must enter..." check box won't actually change anything.

Clean Your Vista Drive in Four Easy Steps

2010-03-14T13:47:00.000+06:00

Running out of disk space? Follow these four tips to free up some space and get your PC working again.
sk space? We're here to help. While some of the clean-up utilities in Windows Vista can lend a hand, they can't figure out which files you really want to keep and which should be jettisoned. Follow these four tips to free up some space and get your PC working again.
Check Folders Manually
The best way to find and purge large files is to search for them. A good place to start is a manual search through your most commonly used folders: The Documents, Music, and Photos folders usually house most of the bigger files on your computer. The default view in Windows does not include a Size header, however, so right-click on the headers (Name, Date Modified, etc.) and select Size. Now, click the Size header to sort by file size. Use CTRL-click to select multiple files that you want to delete, and press Delete. (And remember to empty the recycle bin to remove them completely.)

2. Change the registry so shared folders on remote computers are not automatically added to My Network Places when you even open a document from that shared folder

Start Regedit
Create a DWORD value:
HKEY_Current_User \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Explorer \ NoRecentDocsNetHood to 1.
I have also seen setting the following help as well.

How To: Display The Shutdown Menu When Your Computer’s Power Button Is Pressed

2010-02-28T12:49:00.000+06:00

By default, your Windows XP will shut down when the Power button is pressed. It’s a good idea to change it so that the shutdown menu is opened instead, especially if you have little kids running around the house.

It’s quite easy to change it:

Step 1:

Go to your Windows XP’s desktop and right-click it. Select “Properties” and the Display Properties window will appear.

Open the “Screen Saver” tab and look for the “Power” button near the bottom of the window. Click it.

Step 2:

In the “Power Options Properties” window that opens, go to the “Advanced” tab.

There is a dialog box in the “Power Buttons” section. Choose what you want Windows to do when the power button is pressed.

“Ask me what to do” will make it open up the shutdown menu.

Step 3:

Click “OK” and restart your computer. From now on, pressing the power button will open the shutdown menu, letting you decide what you want to do.

How to: Make 4 fake computer viruses!

2010-02-27T12:34:00.000+06:00

Why not have some fun and prank your friends? There are several kinds of fake virus messages you can make. I will discuss 4 of them:

1. Fake error message

This one is by far, the easiest one to make and all you have to do is to make a new text document with notepad, type msg * YOUR MESSAGE and save as anything.bat. As always, make sure that you select All files instead of Text Document.

2. Forced shutdown

This will display a custom error message and start a countdown which will shut down the computer.

Right-click your desktop and create a new shortcut.
Paste the following code into the Location box in the Create Shortcut menu:
shutdown -s -t 30 -c “Your message here“

Replace 30 with the length of the countdown you want (in seconds) and place your custom error message between the quotes. Click next and name the shortcut to something the victim would be likely to click on such as “Internet explorer” or “My Documents”, etc.

Next you’d want to change the icon. Right-click on the shortcut you made and click properties. Find the Change Icon button and click it. Choose a suitable icon for the name you chose earlier.

And that’s all! Now you just have to sneak the shortcut onto the victim’s desktop and run!

Note: to stop it, open Run from the start menu and type shutdown-a.

3. Endless Command prompt windows

This will open up a series of command prompt windows that will never end.
The basic idea is that there are two .bat files that open the other one when opened, so the other one opens the first one again and the windows just won’t stop coming.

How to do this:
1. Fire up notepad and type: start 2.bat
2. Save it as 1.bat (make sure you choose all files when saving it)
3. Make another new text document and type: start 1.bat
4. Save it as 2.bat into the same folder as the other one.

All you have to do to start it is to click on either of them.

The only way to stop it is to wait for the windows to become so numerous that they are a group on the taskbar. Then you can use Close group to get rid of the bastards.

4. Fake Command prompt viruses

These are also a good way to make the victim believe that a worm is gnawing at their hard drive and that they can’t do anything to stop it.

Open up notepad and type @echo off

To make text appear, type it after an echo tag.
To have the the commands wait for the user to press any key type pause

(Note: if you write pause >nul it won’t display Press Any key to continue…)

To have a complete high-speed description of files in the drive of the .bat file, type dir /s
You can also initiate any other command we covered earlier, such as shutdown, error message, etc.

And why no include all of these in one fake virus?

For example:

I can’t post the batch files here, as sharing .bat files over the internet is illegal.
And remember, everything here is for informational purposes
