Enable CD Recording Feature on Windows XP

2010-09-03T16:45:00.000+05:30

Windows XP comes with a builtin CD-copy feature that not many people are aware of. Although almost everyone has his/her favorite CD-copy software to stick with, it is still good to know about this CDR feature from Windows XP. You will find it very useful when you come to another PC that doesn’t have a CD-copy software, and you can’t just install your favorite software to it. With this feature, you can write some data or MP3 files to a CD/DVD, or erase a re-writable CD/DVD.

Before you can burn a CD/DVD or erase a re-writable disc, you must enable the CD recording feature. This article will show you the steps how to do it…

For information how to erase a CD-RW on Windows XP without using any other software, see this article .
For information how copy files/folder to a CD on Windows XP without using any other software, see this article.

From Desktop, double-click on “My Computer“.
Right-click on the CD Drive and select “Properties“.
Select the tab “Recording” then select the option “Enable CD recording on this drive” and select “Fastest” for the write speed.
Click “OK“.
Your CD Drive is now configured with built-in CD Recording feature enabled.

How to Speed up your PC by this simple RAM tweak

2010-09-02T23:13:00.000+05:30

Well this is a little tut or in other terms a simple hack or a tweak for the techs. SO… Faster PC , first of all why a faster PC ?? Well its not a question of a faster PC but this is more a question of when. If you’ve been running a large application (or several large applications, maybe a game, Photoshop, something like that) the RAM can get taken up quickly. Even when you close down these programs, RAM can still be eaten-up.

You’ll notice this effect at the end of the day. When you first power-up your PC it’s running smoothly, by the end of the day it gets sluggish. Yes, you can get various softwares to solve this. May of which costs but when free things matters, heres how a simple trick can work (in both XP and Vista)

Open up Notepad (I use Notepad++, review coming soon)
Type in MYSTRING=(80000000)
Save the file as MEMORY.VBE (or RAM.VBE if you like…just remember the .VBE)
Make sure you save the file to your DESKTOP.
Just double-click the newly created file on your desktop whenever your PC seems sluggish. It will give your RAM a much needed boost.

Not that if you have less than 128mb of RAM (do you really? If so then Oh! wake up you need an upgrade) change the 80000000 to 160000000 and it should work the same.

RAM Defrag is another nice freeware utility that frees up your RAM however it clears of all the injected DLL’s and the cache so the computer may get more sluggish for a while a Defrag.
You can Download Ram Defrag from this website.
Note that told above is version 2.71 of Ram Defrag which is a freeware, a newer version 2.84 is also available here which is Shareware available here.I am not aware of the working of the version 2.84

8. Restart windows!

The speed improvement will be noticed just after the system reboots, any system info. software can be used to check the improvement.

Installing and configuring a Wireless Router

2010-09-02T22:50:00.000+05:30

A wireless router affords laptop or portable computer users greater mobility in their homes and businesses. In most home networks, wireless routers are connected to a cable or DSL modem, and the router sends the signals and information that make up an Internet protocol (IP) thread to the user's computer via radio signals rather than wires.
To communicate with the wireless router, individual computers house transceivers such as an internal expansion card, a peripheral docked by USB or, in the case of laptops, a PC card or hard-wired internal device. For those accessing the Internet through a high-speed connection, a wireless router can also serve as a hardware firewall (as opposed to a software program), enabling protection from undesirable outside computers without exhausting as many system resources as traditional firewall programs.

Installing a Wireless Router

First, turn off the PC and modem, then remove the Ethernet cable from the PC and plug it into the router's WAN port. Install a second Ethernet cable between the PC's Ethernet port and one of the router's Ethernet ports. Power the modem, router and then PC, waiting for the system to boot and initialize before attempting an Internet connection.
Most routers are programmed with the manufacturer's default settings, including the network's name or service set identifier (SSID), channel and sign-on password. These default settings generally may be changed using included software or an online setup utility provided by the router's manufacturer.
Configure the router by entering the router configuration IP address at the URL provided, followed by the configuration utility ID and the default password. To find your router's default IP address and the default login info, refer to the owner's manual. If you own a Linksys router, a popular brand, the IP address is usually 192.168.1.1. Two other popular brands, D-Link and Netgear, generally use 192.168.0.1.

Connecting a Printer to a Wireless Router

First, check the documentation that came with your printer to determine how it's designed to connect to computers. Connections made through Ethernet, USB and (obsolescent) parallel ports are common, but newer printers are sometimes wireless-enabled and allow you to simply add them to your wireless network.
Refer to the owner's manual for your particular wireless router. Inside, find the default IP address and the default login info. If you own a Linksys router, the IP address is usually 192.168.1.1. Other popular brands D-Link and Netgear generally use 192.168.0.1.

Connecting Two Wireless Routers

Bridging two wireless routers involves configuring both networks manually. Visit each network location - which should be recognized by your computer automatically - and configure the appropriate Service Set Identifier (SSID), Wireless Encryption Protocol (WEP) or WiFi Protected Access (WPA) key and authentication information. Make sure you know the SSID and WEP or WPA key ahead of time.

Connecting an Xbox 360 to a Wireless Router

Connecting an Xbox 360 to a wireless router allows you to use Xbox Live without physically connecting your Xbox to a cable. Power up your Xbox system and the router, then plug the wireless networking adapter into the two slots at the Xbox's rear. Unplug any existing Ethernet cables and connect the USB connector to the port adjacent to the adapter. Use the system area of the Xbox dashboard to adjust your network settings. This should connect you to the wireless network.

How to access the sharing data offline

2010-09-02T22:44:00.004+05:30

Access the shared data offline allows you to keep using your shared files, folders and software programs when disconnected from the data server. When you reconnect to your data server, all files will be synchronized to the files on the network.

There are two types of configurations required to set the access shared folders offline available, one for data server and other for client computer.

Configuration on Data Server.

First locate the folders that you would like to share or make new folders then share these folders so they can be accessible to any one on the network.

Now right click on that folder and click on the option "Sharing and security".

A small dialog box will appear with the title "data properties". Under the "Sharing" tab, select the check box "Share this folder on the network" under the "Network sharing and security".

Now set the share level permissions that you want to give the users on every folder. Enable cache of share folders by click on cache button (by default it will be enabled).

Configuration on Client Computer

On the client computer, first open My Computer then click on Tools.

In Tools menu bar, click on Folder Options, a window will appear with the title Folder Options.

Under the Offline File tab, check the option Enable Offline File. Here you can choose the synchronization process "Synchronize all offline files when logging on", "Synchronize all offline files before logging off" and others.

Click on Apply button to save the settings and then Ok button to close this window.

Now sitting on the client computer, try to access the shared folder from the data server.

First Right click on the shared folder and Click on Make available offline.

To synchronizing the offline work from client computer to data server, again open My Computer then click on Tools. Click on Synchronize then click on synchronizing button.

After that down to data server and then try to access share folders by give the UNC (Universal Naming Convention) path of data server. But it will be accessible weather the server is down or up.

22 How To Make Notepad Write On Its Own

2010-07-11T22:28:00.002+05:30

A Notepad
that writes on it own is for sure a very weird thing but very funny in the same time. And if you change the icon
of the file you create with the Notepad's, and replace the Notepad icon from your friend's computer with this file for sure you will create a great prank.

1. Open Notepad.

2. Copy this script in Notepad:

PHP Code:

set wshshell = wscript.CreateObject("wscript.shell")

wshshell.run "Notepad"wscript.sleep 2000
wshshell.AppActivate "Notepad"

WshShell.SendKeys "H"

WScript.Sleep 500
WshShell.SendKeys "ell"

WScript.Sleep 500
WshShell.SendKeys "o "

The little program will make your Notepad type "Hello". You can always make your custom message by replacing the letters between the " " signs with the ones you want.

You can add more lines like the following ones for more letters:

WScript.Sleep 500
WshShell.SendKeys "insert here your letter of group of letters "

3. Now save the file. Go to File->Save as. Type the name of the file with the extension .vbs. For example if you want to choose the name Notepad, type Notepad.vbs. Also be sure that File type is All files not Text file!

4. When you doubleclick on it, Notepad will start typing letters.
