Skip Ads on Yahoo IM

I went into the system registery and found out that Yahoo! moved the 'banner url' key to a slightly different location. 


Yahoo! IM no longer uses 'YUrl', but uses 'View' instead. You gotta click on each key inside of 'View' and edit the 'banner url' string to anything you want... I simply cleared mine out completely and it works flawlessly!


Here is what you gotta do:


Run regedit
Goto HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Yahoo -> Pager -> View


Inside the 'View' key there are a several other keys... go through each one and edit the 'banner url' string to your liking. It even works if the string is left blank (this causes it to look as if ads were never even implemented)! 


Restart Yahoo! IM for the effect to take hold.


This is great for Yahoo! IM users who don't want to be bothered with ads. 

Thank You!

Get the serial number you need

(This Tricks is only For Certain Things)


* Go to Google.


* In the search field type: "Product name" 94FBR


* Where, "Product Name" is the name of the item you want to find the serial number for.


* And voila - there you go - the serial number you needed.


HOW DOES THIS WORK?


Quite simple really. 94FBR is part of a Office 2000 Pro cd key that is widely distributed as it bypasses the activation requirements of Office 2K Pro. By searching for the product name and 94fbr, you guarantee two things. 1) The pages that are returned are pages dealing specifically with the product you're wanting a serial for. 2) Because 94FBR is part of a serial number, and only part of a serial number, you guarantee that any page being returned is a serial number list page.


See these example searches:


"Photoshop 7" 94FBR
"Age of Mythology" 94FBR
"Nero Burning Rom 5.5" 94FBR

Add URL Address bar to your Windows Taskbar

Hello Friends....!
You can add an Internet URL address bar to your Windows taskbar. Doing so will let you type in URLs and launch Web pages without first launching a browser. It will also let you launch some native Windows applications in much the same way as you would via the Run menu (so you could type in calc to launch the calculator or mspaint to launch Microsoft Paint. Here's how you add the address bar:


1. Right-click on the taskbar, select Toolbars, and then click Address.


2. The word Address will appear on your taskbar.


3. Double click it to access it.


4. If that doesn't work, your taskbar is locked. You can unlock it by right-clicking on the taskbar again and uncheck Lock the Taskbar.


NOTE: You may also need to grab the vertical dotted lines beside the word Address and drag it to the left to make the Address window appear.

Thank You!

Recover data from a quick-erased CD-RW disc

Following is the  Procedure used to recover data from a quick-erased CD-RW disc...!


1. Make a file of exactly the size of the cdrw disc's capacity (650MB in my case).
(this step may not be needed)


2. With Nero I created a new project and added the file to it so that I have the disc filled. I gues you can also fill up the disc with other files.
The reason why I fill the disc is because I want Nero to make a session that uses the entire disc. Like I wrote earlier in this thread I experienced that my CD-Drive refuses to read off the disc beyond the session's boundaries. When you quick-erase a disc there is no session anymore so the drive will not read at all. Burning a new session will overwrite the data and burning only a small session will NOT make the drive read the other data that is still on the disc.
The reason why I used the one big file is so that I could later on recognize which part of the disc was overwritten by this file because this file contained all zeros (0x00).


3. I pressed burn and selected disc-at-once. Then while Nero was burning the leadin I pressed cancel. My CD-Drive finished writing the lead-in and Nero reported an error.
This is what was accomplished however: Now the disc contains a session that says that the used disc size is the complete disc. Nero did not get to writing file because I cancelled it. Good thing because I don't want Nero to write any files because my old data will get overwritten!
I gues it works the same with different writing software. Another method that I used during a test was simply press the reset button of the computer when the burning software was done with writing the lead-in and started with the files.


4. I had to restart the computer after cancelling burning.
With the cdrw disc inserted I saw in "my computer" that windows recognized that the disc was 650MB, clicking on it gave an error. Good so far!


Now with IsoBuster you can extract the sectors from a disc to a file. This is what I did.
I gues that if you have data-recovery software at this point it will be usefull because now (if all went well;)) the CD-Drive WILL read data from the entire disc. Anyway, I used ISO-Buster because the files that I needed to recover where a bit odd for nowadays (.XM, .S3M, .MP3):
In IsoBuster I had to do several steps:


Step 1: Find out from and to which sector the drive will read
By choosing "Sector View" you can look at any given sector.
Here I found out what the first and the last sectors where that are readable. (Hint I used the method for the old game: "Gues a number below 100, I'll tell if it is higher or lower than what you gues")
Step 2: Extract the actual sectors
By choosing "Extract From-To" you can extract any given range of sectors to a file. My disc was a data-disc so I choose the first extraction type "User data, 2048 bytes/block...".


In the end I got a .tao file which was about 650MB. I ran several programs on it to look for files inside a file by searching for file-header-paterns:
1. Multi Ripper 2.80 (for DOS, for the .XM files. It does many other file formats as well (jpg,png, bmp,wav,etc,etc +100). Try google with this query: Multi Ripper 2.80. I still had the file from good old days but I saw several good search results)


2. Winamp for mp3.
Winamp will scan any file when you give it the extension .mp3 and play it as one big song (so I renamed the .tao file to .mp3). I used the discwriter to get a .wav and the Adobe Audition to manually cut and save my songs. I looked at the MP3 file format and it is hard to find an mp3 file in a big file because it has no clear header just a bunch of mpeg-frames in most cases for me . A lot of my files had no ID3v2 or ID3v1 tags... But after a couple of hours I recovered everything.


Finally a list of used stuff:


Software:
- IsoBuster v1.5
- Nero 6.3.0.3
- Multi Ripper 2.80
- WinAmp v5.02
- Windows XP Pro NL (patched up)


Hardware:
- NEC DVDRW ND1300A 1.06


Disc:
- some old 4 speed cdrw.

Change The Default Location For Installing Apps

 As the size of hardrives increase, more people are using partitions to seperate and store groups of files.


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 (regedit)and go to


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion


Look for the value named ProgramFilesDir. by default,this value will be C:\Program Files. Edit the value to any valid drive or folder and XP will use that new location as the default installation directory for new programs.

Thank You!

How To Build A Website?

How to build a website??? 

That's one of the most popular Google queries. I’m not Google but I have an answer. Recently I found a service that solves all the troubles – ucoz! It’s a free website maker and webhosting platform. If you know nothing in web design, it’s a salvation!

Using free website constructor your can easily build any kind of site. If you need eShop – you can easily make it. If you want website with collection of recipes – not a problem as well. The possibilities are practically endless. You can build a website of any complexity combining more than a dozen modules, like forum, diary, message board, photo album, article directory, poll, mailing forms.

As for me I especially liked the free website design templates. Ucoz offers a lot of pre-made website templates and most of them are beautiful and interesting, so the choice is wide. I almost forgot to add that ucoz offers unlimited disk space for your websites!

In the end I have some words for those of you who already know how to make websites. Ucoz provides quite a good website control system:

Website users database with groups;

Delegation of different rights to different user groups;

RSS import and export;

Option to block by IPs or subnetworks.

The choice is yours, as for me, ucoz is rather good solution for those who just want to make sites without problems.

Thank You!

Boost Your FireFox

Hello Friends...!
Today My Favourite browser Google Chrome was crashed for long time & it wasn't working at all. So i chose my secondary option browser..."Mozilla FireFox"...! Fast too...
Yes, firefox is already pretty damn fast but did you know that you can tweak it and improve the speed even more?


That's the beauty of this program being open source.
Here's what you do:
In the URL bar, type “about:config” and press enter. This will bring up the configuration “menu” where you can change the parameters of Firefox.


Note that these are what I’ve found to REALLY speed up my Firefox significantly - and these settings seem to be common among everybody else as well. But these settings are optimized for broadband connections - I mean with as much concurrent requests we’re going to open up with pipelining… lol… you’d better have a big connection.


Double Click on the following settins and put in the numbers below - for the true / false booleans - they’ll change when you double click.


Code:
browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs – true
network.http.max-connections – 48
network.http.max-connections-per-server – 16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy – 8
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server – 4
network.http.pipelining – true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests – 100
network.http.proxy.pipelining – true
network.http.request.timeout – 300




One more thing… Right-click somewhere on that screen and add a NEW -> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0”. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives. Since you’re broadband - it shouldn’t have to wait.


Now you should notice you’re loading pages MUCH faster now!
But beware...Use this Trick at your own Risk...!
Enjoy...!!!
