After applying this tweak whenever you right click on any image , you will get this message box like this:

Go through these steps to do so:

Go to blogger.com and sign in to your account.
Navigate to Template >> Edit HTML
Search for </head>
Right after </head>, paste the following code:

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
/* ===========================================================
Disable context menu on images by (Askaps.blogspot.com)
============================================================== */
    function nocontext(e) {
        var clickedTag = (e==null) ? event.srcElement.tagName : e.target.tagName;
        if (clickedTag == "IMG") {
            alert(alertMsg);
            return false;
        }
    }
    var alertMsg = "Image context menu is disabled";
    document.oncontextmenu = nocontext;

How To Run Dos Applications(16 Bit App) In Windows 8

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 19 Jun 2012 06:12:00 +0000

We all knows that Microsoft has been changed a lot in its upcoming OS Windows 8 like removal of aero effect, removal of start menu, a all new start screen and many more.
But now our question is that How To Run Dos Applications In Windows 8. But now in the tech era there are very small number of tools which requires 16 bit support but still some of these are with us like TurboC.
Running Dos Applications in a little bit tricky. Basically we need a small 3rd party tool "DosBox" to run dos applications. You can download DosBox from here:

Download DosBox

Simply download DosBox from above link and install it.
After installation, DosBox icon will appear on your deskop. Simply double click to open it.
Now its need of your basic knowledge of simple dos commands (if you are a beginner and don't know the basic commands then Go Here).

By using these commands, navigate to your application folder (where program exe is located).
For example, I have TC folder in the C:\ Drive.
Now type these commands one by one in same order:

Mount c c:\
c:\
cd tc\bin

Note: In the above case, my exe file is located in C:\tc\bin folder thats why I have used these commands, So for your exe you have to change your desired drive letter (C:\) and folder (tc\bin).

Now you are in tc\bin directory. Now simply Type your desired program name (like tc.exe) and press enter.
Thats all you have to do. You get your program open.

Bonus:

Don't press Ctrl+F9 to compile application in TurboC while using in DosBox, if you do so it will close DosBox. Alternatively you can edit dosbox,conf file placed in DosBox folder for other configuration changes.
To toggle between fullscreen and restore mode you can press ALT+ENTER keys.

Download Free Tool "AppOff" To Easily Configure Application Compatibility Check On/Off In Windows Vista And 7 to improve Performance

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 14 Jun 2012 06:05:00 +0000

We all knows that Windows Vista and Windows 7 has a feature "Application Compatibility" using which we can run old softwares which are compatible with old windows version but are not compatible with newer version you are using. This feature is enabled by default in Windows Vista and 7.
Windows always checks in application compatibility database whenever you run a program which slows down your system performance but what if we switch off this feature of windows. Then we got a faster system performance. For doing this task I made this utility "AppOff".

You just simply need to Download the application > Open the application > click on Turn Off.
If you want to revert the changes simply again Open the application > Click on Turn On.
It automatically detects the status of "Application Compatibility" and enables the required button.

Features:

Very very small in size.
Enable or disable the required buttons automatically.
Also shows current application compatibility status.
