Use hyphens to separate words in domains (LOW PRIORITY)

creative-designing@live.com (SOFTRONIC LIFE) — Mon, 02 Jul 2012 18:37:00 +0000

When you're putting keywords
in your domain and URLs, you
should consider separating them
with hyphens (-) rather than
mashing them all together or
using underscores (_). Search
engine spiders can't tell where a
word ends and begins without
cues like hyphens, and most
computers recognize hyphens as
the end of a word, but see
underscores as part of the
word.

Make a super hidden folder

creative-designing@live.com (SOFTRONIC LIFE) — Sun, 01 Jul 2012 05:19:00 +0000

Almost anyone knows how to
make a “hidden” folder in
Windows, but then again almost
anyone knows how to make
explorer show hidden folders.
Let’s take a look at how to make
a folder so hidden, only you will
know its there.
Anyone that has used Windows
for a while knows that they can
right-click on a file or folder and
edit its properties, more so its
attributes to make it a so called
“hidden” file or folder. The
problem is that just as many
people know you can show files
and folders that have the
“hidden” attribute by simply
changing a radio button under
the folder view options. The
easiest way to make a real
hidden file or folder is to mark it
as an important operating
system file, that way Windows
wont display it even if explorer
is set to display hidden files and
folders.
To do this we need to launch a
command prompt, so press the
Win + R key combination and
type cmd then hit the enter
button.
Now we are going to use the
attrib command, so go ahead
and type:
attrib +s +h “C:\Users\Taylor
Gibb\Desktop\Top Secret”
You will need to replace the
stuff in the inverted comma’s to
an absolute path of a folder or
file on your system that you
want to make hidden.
Now if I go look for the Top
Secret folder on my Desktop it is
gone, even with explorer set to
show hidden files and folders.
To unhide the file or folder you
can run the same command,
except this time use “-“ instead
of the “+” signs.
attrib -s -h “C:\Users\Taylor Gibb
\Desktop\Top Secret”
Like magic, my folder appeared
again.
Warning
While this method will catch
99% of people, if I knew for a
fact that there was a hidden
folder on a system that I was
looking for there are many
ways that will expose the
folder. The easiest would be to
make explorer show operating
system files, which can be done
through the same interface as
showing hidden files.
Although any ordinary user who
unchecks the box will most
probably be scared off by the
warning message that appears.
Hope this was informative, now
go hide all your things

3 Simple Ways to Improve Low Resolution Images (and Typography)

creative-designing@live.com (SOFTRONIC LIFE) — Sun, 01 Jul 2012 05:02:00 +0000

A creative tirck for my friendx.
It’s not a miracle, but these
helpful tips can improve the
quality of an image when
enlarging from a low-resolution
sample. It’s surprisingly simple
and quite easy. Fire up
Photoshop and check it out for
yourself!
At SOFTRONIC ZONE, i’ve written
extensively about how it’s
impossible to “enhance” images
and reclaim detail that is lost or
isn’t there to begin with. Are we
changing our tune? Nope,
there’s nothing magical about
these tips, except for the
improved results you’ll get when
you improve your own low
resolution images. Keep reading
and give it a shot!
A Better Way to Enlarge
Images
Here’s our image at our starting
point. This is zoomed to 100%,
only a paltry 150 pixels wide.
As we can see, this is painfully
low resolution. Let’s improve
things somewhat with a basic
enlargement.
Navigate to Image > Image Size.
Where it says “Resample Image”
you can change the type of anti-
aliasing used to enlarge and
smooth the image. Change it to
“Bicubic Smoother (best for
enlargement).” By default,
Photoshop uses “Bicubic.”
Notice the difference in the
Bicubic Smoother version on the
left versus the basic “Bicubic”
enlargement on the right.
Changing the type of anti-
aliasing can make a huge
difference the edges in your
image, helping to keep them
smoother, less jaggy. This can
make a big difference
Improving Detail in Enlarged
Images
Most Photoshop users don’t go
beyond RGB or CMYK. Today,
we’ll be using a different color
mode called Lab Color. Switch
any enlarged image (we’re
going to be using our image
from before) and change it to
Lab color by navigating to
Image > Mode > Lab Color.
Make sure you have a channels
panel open by going to Window
> Channels. Then select the
“Lightness” channel or click the
beside the a and b channels as
shown.
With “Lightness” selected, we’ll
perform a Smart Sharpen filter
by going to Filter > Smart
Sharpen.
The settings above worked for
our example quite well, but feel
free to fiddle around and find
your own. You’ll probably want
to keep your “Remove” setting
to “Gaussian Blur” as shown
above.
You can remain in Lab Color or
convert back to RGB. Unlike a
conversion between RGB and
CMYK, RGB converts perfectly to
Lab without any noticeable color
shift. In either color mode, select
your combined channelset by
pressing Ctrl + 2.
It’s not perfect, but the
comparison of before and after
is pretty dramatic. Our updated
image (on the right) has a much
richer skin texture and doesn’t
look like it was enlarged nearly
2000% from an image 150
pixels wide.
But Wait! Wild Typography
Appears!
Typography is a different beast
altogether. This low resolution
sample is set at only 100 pixels
wide and has some big, very
noticeable problems.
Resize your image to your
target size. Here, we’re
increasing the size by 10 times
and using the “Nearest
Neighbor” setting to keep our
edges jaggy. Don’t worry, this
will all make sense in a moment.
And it looks no different than
before! Let’s see what we can
do to change that.
Apply a Gaussian Blur by going
to Filter > Gaussian Blur and
using a setting that blurs the
edges without making the text
completely unreadable.
Your final type should look
something like this.
We’re now going to use a
“Threshold” adjustment layer.
Click the in the Layers Panel to
insert one.
Is it perfect? No. Is it less blurry
and jaggy? Yes, surprisingly so.
But any further improvement
would have to be done with the
brush tool and a lot of patience.
This can be a surprisingly helpful
trick for anyone that has to
work with typography and is
often stuck with low resolution
files.
While our “enhanced” image
cannot ever reclaim the detail of
the original high-resolution
image, we can, at a cursory
glance, say that we’ve improved
our image quality, both with the
typography and with the photo
of the girl. Not satisfied with
these tricks? Have some better
ones of your own? Sound off in
the comments section and let us
know what you use when you
have to improve a low quality
image.

lock your folder with out software.

creative-designing@live.com (SOFTRONIC LIFE) — Sun, 01 Jul 2012 04:41:00 +0000

Guys lock your folder and secure your data from others

There are a lot of methods that
you can use to create a
password protected folder,
most of which require the use
of some third party software.
Using this neat method you can
hide your folders with a quick
batch script.
It’s important to note that this
will not actually conceal your
data from somebody that
knows what they are doing.
Create Your Password
Protected Folder
Before you get started you need
to create a folder that will house
your password protected folder,
this is just an ordinary folder
and can be located anywhere
and named anything.
Navigate into your newly
created folder and create a new
Text Document. This can easily
be done from the context menu.
Open the document, now paste
the following code into the
contents of the document:
cls
@ECHO OFF
title Folder Private
if EXIST "HTG Locker" goto UNLOCK
if NOT EXIST Private goto MDLOCKER
:CONFIRM
echo Are you sure you want to lock the folder(Y/N)
set/p "cho=>"
if %cho%==Y goto LOCK
if %cho%==y goto LOCK
if %cho%==n goto END
if %cho%==N goto END
echo Invalid choice.
goto CONFIRM
:LOCK
ren Private "HTG Locker"
attrib +h +s "HTG Locker"
echo Folder locked
goto End
:UNLOCK
echo Enter password to unlock folder
set/p "pass=>"
if NOT %pass%== PASSWORD_GOES_HERE goto FAIL
attrib -h -s "HTG Locker"
ren "HTG Locker" Private
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password
goto end
:MDLOCKER
md Private
echo Private created successfully
goto End
:End
Change the
PASSWORD_GOES_HERE text to
the password you want to set.
Now go ahead and save the file
as locker.bat.
Once the file is saved as a batch
file you can delete the original
text file.
Now run your batch file by
double clicking on it–the first
time you run it, it will create a
folder called Private. This is
where you can store all your
secret things. When you have
finished adding all your stuff to
the Private folder, run locker.bat
again.
This time you will be asked if
you sure that you want to lock
the folder, press the “Y” key and
hit enter to lock your folder.
You will see that your Private
folder quickly disappears.
If you run the script yet again,
you will prompted for a
password.
If you enter the same password
as you set in the script the
Private folder will reappear if
you enter the incorrect
password the script will just
Terminate.
Warning
Most people don’t know how to
show system files, but anybody
who has some experience will
probably be able to quickly
figure it out in the Folder
Options.

Online storage

creative-designing@live.com (SOFTRONIC LIFE) — Sun, 01 Jul 2012 01:06:00 +0000

Online storage is utilized by
many internet users, as it is a
great way to preserve files in a
secure location. However, some
of the online storage providers
like to skimp out on features
and storage, making it a drastic
waste of your hard earned
money. There are three key
features that should be offered
by storage providers, and if
your provider is not up to par
you may consider switching to
one that is worth your time.
Keeping your files safe is one
of the most important aspect of
any storage procedure or
solution, but you must keep in
mind other features that will
save you time and trouble.
Organization: Keeping Your
Files Neat and Easy To Find
Some storage providers are
incredibly messy, unorganized,
and can cause a great deal of
pain when you are attempting
to locate a particular document.
A storage provider that has a
very clean and organized
interface will help you to keep
your documents well organized.
After all, it should not take very
long at all to locate a particular
document when you need it; as
long as it is organized in the
proper place. You must also play
your part in organization, and
ensure that your documents are
tidy and in place when you
upload them to your storage
provider.
Accessibility: How Often,
What Times, and From Where
Can You Access Your
Documents?
Accessibility is very important
to many online storage users,
but some seem to settle with
whatever they can find in a
provider. If you are paying for
storage services, you should be
able to access your documents
whenever you feel the need to.
Many services even offer access
on different devices; meaning
you can access your files as long
as you have an internet
connection. Many providers are
already catering to the needs of
smart phone owners, so check
with your provider to see if this
functionality is available. You
should also be able to access
your files around the clock,
meaning up time for the storage
company is critical. This tends to
be a fairly uncommon issue, but
is not an impossible
predicament. When sifting
through the providers, we did
find one nugget of good news:
Egnyte’s online document
storage is an incredibly well
reputed provider that gives
users everything we are
currently mentioning in this
article.
Capacity: How Much Can Your
Account Handle?
No matter what your storage
needs may be, you should
investigate the storage
capacity of your account. Some
providers offer incredibly low
storage space, making it nearly
useless to even light users of
online storage. You should
ensure that your account can
handle all of your files and
documents, especially if you are
storing them indefinitely while
also adding to it. If you are
storing files for a short period
of time then removing them,
you will not need as much
storage space as those who
store files permanently. Calculate
the amount of storage you will
consume over a period of time,
whether it is over the course of
a week or a month; then, check
to see if your storage space
within the account can
accommodate the load of files.

how to disable CD-ROM and Audio CDS to run automatically

creative-designing@live.com (SOFTRONIC LIFE) — Sun, 01 Jul 2012 00:22:00 +0000

Hi guys. . .
Today i'm going to show you a beautifull trick for your office and home computers,
How to Disable the Feature That
Allows CD-ROMs and Audio CDs
to Run Automatically
To disable the feature that
allows CD-ROMs and audio CDs to
run automatically:
1. Click Start, point to Settings,
click Control Panel, and then
double-click System.
2. Double-click the CDROM branch
on the Device Manager tab,
and then double-click the entry
for your CD-ROM drive.
3. On the Settings tab, click to
clear the Auto Insert
Notification check box.
4. Click OK, click Close, and then
click Yes when you are
prompted to restart your
computer.
How to Disable Only the Feature
That Allows Audio CDs to Run
Automatically
Use either of the following
methods to disable only the
feature that allows audio CDs to
run automatically.
Method 1
1. Double-click the My Computer
icon on your Desktop.
2. On the View menu, click
Options.
3. On the File Types tab, click
AudioCD in the Registered File
Types box, and then click Edit.
4. Click Set Default, click Close,
and then click Close.
If audio CDs do not play
automatically when you use
these steps, use the following
steps:
1. Click Start, point to Settings,
click Control Panel, and then
double-click System.
2. On the Device Manager tab,
double-click CD-ROM, and then
double-click the entry for your
CD-ROM.
3. On the Settings tab, click to
select the Auto Insert
Notification check box.
4. Click OK, click Close, and then
click Yes when you are
prompted to restart your
computer.
Method 2
Press and hold the SHIFT key as
you insert the audio CD in your
CD-ROM drive.
Notes
If you are trying to play an
audio CD with Windows CD
Player and you insert a second
audio CD in another CD-ROM
drive, the first audio CD stops
playing, Windows CD Player
restarts, and then Windows CD
Player plays the second audio CD
that you inserted into your CD-
ROM drive. This behavior occurs
only if both CD-ROM drives are
using a Windows protected-
mode driver and you have the
Auto Insert Notification feature
enabled.
CD-ROMs that contain an
Autorun.inf file are played
automatically when you insert
them in your CD-ROM drive. The
Cdvsd.vxd driver polls
repeatedly to detect the
presence of a CD-ROM. When a
CD-ROM is detected, Windows is
notified that a new volume is
available and the drive is
checked for an Autorun.inf file.
If found, programs that are
listed on the open= line in the
[AUTORUN] section are run.
If the volume is determined to
be an audio CD, Windows
performs the default action, if
any, that is associated with that
file type. "Play" is the default
action for the audio CD file type.
Windows does not play CD-ROMs
automatically if you are using
only real-mode CD-ROM drivers.
Protected-mode drivers are
required to play CD-ROMs
automatically when you insert
them in your CD-ROM drive.
