Mobile phone locked OR Not able to unlock mobile phone

2011-03-28T12:56:00.004+05:30

When you place a new or a existing SIM card from another phone provider into a different cell phone, it asks for a Security Code and you don't have it with you. This means that a mobile phone is locked to the original mobile phone provider.

You need to contact this mobile provider to ask for the unlock code (Security Code) for this phone.
For this you need to provide proof of ownership etc.

Following are the possible action items you may do, when you come aross the above situation:

1) Get security code/restriction code to unlock the cell phone from the current cell phone service provider.

2) If your phone provider does not help you then this WEB site it provides security codes for a small price.

3) Try this WEB site also - UnlockFree http://www.unlock-free.com

4) You can also try this WEB site : http://www.mobileunlockguide.com/mobile-phone/

5) For Nokia phone - try this WEB site too : www.unlock-free.com/nokia-master

6)The IMEI number is unique for each mobile phone. The number is printed on the label under the battery.
You can also get the IMEI number by entering this on your phone
*#06# It will then display your IMEI number and you may also get a unique global serial number. Your IMEI number should be 15 digits.

Outlook 2007: How To Use Voting Buttons in a Message

2011-03-22T12:35:00.009+05:30

You can use the Voting Buttons to get responses from a group of colleagues to see what the majority of them are leaning towards. This comes in handy when getting feedback for a meeting date and location or for figuring out where everyone is going to meet after work.

Outlook tallies the votes for you so that they can easily be assessed.

To Insert Voting Buttons into your Message:

1. Create your New Message.

2. Select the Options tab.

3. Select Use Voting Buttons.

4. Choose the voting buttons you wish to use from the four options provided (Approve; Reject, Yes; No, Yes; No; Maybe, or Custom).

5. Make sure your message is the way you want it, including the question or statement that is to be voted on. Make sure you have included the proper recipients for the email message.

6. Click Send.

The recipients of your message will notice a highlighted line of text (vote by clicking Vote in the Respond group above) showing up above the From line in the email. By clicking Vote, they will be shown the voting options to select from.

After they select the desired voting option, a confirmation prompt will appear showing their selection and giving them the choice of sending the response or editing the response before sending.

Getting a Tally of the Votes:

You will receive the replies to your message with the selected voting option in the subject line. You could tally the votes yourself, however if you sent the message out to a large number of recipients, this could be rather time consuming. A better method is to let Outlook tally the votes for you.

1. Go to your Sent Items.

2. Open the message that had the voting buttons.

3. Go to the Ribbon.

4. In the Show section, select Tracking.

You will see the reply totals followed by a list of the individual votes.

How to quickly and easily add a live bookmark/RSS feeds

2011-03-17T15:02:00.013+05:30

How to quickly and easily add a live bookmark/RSS feed to Internet Explorer 7 or 8

Both Internet Explorer 7 and 8 fully support live bookmarks/RSS feeds. IE7 and IE8 also support Microsoft's 'Common Feed List', but more on that later. When you visit a site with an RSS feed in Internet Explorer 7/8, the RSS feed icon becomes active. This icon is circled red in the picture below:-

Click on the icon shown above and Internet Explorer will take you to a screen like the one below:-

Notice in the above picture, Internet Explorer says this feed "can be viewed in Internet Explorer and other programs". Here is the really cool part, any feed you add in Internet Explorer will be available in any other program that supports Microsoft's 'Common Feed List'.

Currently this includes Microsoft Outlook and the RSS reader in the Vista sidebar. Eventually most RSS aware Windows programs will support Common Feed List. Getting back to the tutorial, to add this RSS feed to Internet Explorer and the Common Feed List, click on "Subscribe to this feed" as circled in the picture above.

The following window will then appear:-

Click on "Subscribe" as circled in the picture above to confirm your subscription. The window will close and you will be taken to the page below:-

You can now click on "View my feeds" (as shown above) to see a list of all the feeds you are subscribed to. You can access your feeds at any time by clicking on the favorites center (the small star icon in the top left hand corner
of the IE window, or press the keys ALT and C together) and then choosing "Feeds".

The picture below shows the favorites center open on the feeds tab.

ActivePERL - PERL for Windows - using perl

2011-03-16T15:08:00.016+05:30

PERL comes pre-installed on many operating systems, like Linux for example.
For those of us running a version of Windows however, we must download and install some sort of program that allows us to access PERL scripts from DOS. There are many PERL compilations available for your machine. A simple Google search yields several million results.

ActivePERL is the simplest of installers available and it is also free to download. Download the program, follow the onscreen installation guide, and you should have an active installation of PERL ready to go.

Download ActivePERL link

To test the installation, make sure the program has fully completed installation and then run through the following:

1. Click on Start, go to Run.
2. Please enter 'Command' or 'cmd' into the display box to open up the command prompt.
3. At the command prompt type 'perl -v'

You should get some documentation about Larry Wall 1987-200X, and that means you are officially done installing

PERL and ready to start creating some PERL scripts.

PERL - Testing...Testing Script

Just to be sure everything is running correctly. Open up notepad or your preferred simple text editor and let's make a beginning script. We'll have our script print to the command prompt with the print function just as we would if we were printing text to our web browser.

#! usr/bin/perl
print "Hello PERL!";

Copy the two lines above and save them in a directory that you are capable of accessing through DOS with the name as testing.pl

For eg: When you launch command prompt you get-->
C:\Documents and Settings\pradeep

Create a new directory named perl in it.
Locate that directory (perl) in your DOS prompt and simply type the name of your PERL script into the command prompt to execute your script.

C:\Documents and Settings\pradeep\perl> testing.pl

Check that you get an output in the command prompt as: Hello PERL!

To find the kernel version and memory details of LINUX / SOLARIS Operating System

2011-03-11T20:21:00.003+05:30

In SOLARIS, uname -r will give you the solaris release level.
some other useful options with uname are

uname -s [Operating system]
SunOS

uname -r [Release version]
5.8

For example if output is:
2.6.22-14-generic

then it denotes:
* 2 : Kernel version
* 6 : The major revision of the kernel
* 22 : The minor revision of the kernel
* 14 : Immediate fixing / bug fixing for critical error
* generic : Distribution specific sting. For example, Redhat appends string such as EL5 to indicate RHEL 5 kernel.

uname -v
Generic_117350-27[OS version]

uname -a
SunOS hostname 5.8 Generic_117350-27 sun4u sparc
The last two words describes h/w name and processor respctl[equivalent to -m and -p),

$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5 (Tikanga)
this command return the Centos version

To find the Memory details:

dmesg | grep ^Memory:

Output: Memory: 1734144k/1792092k available (2512k kernel code, 49156k reserved, 1396k data, 184k init)

The second value is the physical RAM size. It'll also tell you what other junk is subtracted from that to give you what you get with "free"..

Find Java version Internet Explorer or Firefox is using

2011-03-11T19:55:00.007+05:30

METHOD 1 : Java command using command prompt

In Windows, open a DOS prompt (a.k.a command window) and enter the following command

java -version

The output will look something like:

java version "1.6.0_17" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_17-b04) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 14.3-b01, mixed mode, sharing)

You can also use the command "java -fullversion" and produce output such as:

java full version "1.6.0_17-b04"

On a computer without any version of Java from Sun Microsystems installed, this results in an error message:

'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

A computer with only Microsoft's ancient version of Java installed, also produces the above error.

On a Windows machine with multiple versions of Java, according to Sun, this command returns the default JVM.

METHOD 2 : Firefox Options

(1) Mozilla has a plugin check (shown below) that seems to detect Java correctly and report on whether its old or not. See a larger screen shot in this window or a new window.

(2) In Firefox version 3, do Tools -> Options -> Main tab -> Manage Add-ons button -> Plug-ins tab.
The screen shot below shows this from Firefox 3.08 on a Windows XP machine.

(3) In Firefox 3, go to the address bar and enter:

about:plugins

If Java is installed there will be multiple Java entries. In Firefox 3 (at least on Windows XP) they are labeled "Java(TM) Platform SE x Ux" where the Xs represent version numbers. Back with Firefox 2 they were labeled either "Java (TM) Platform" or "Java Plug-in" (last verified with v 2.0.0.12).

On a Windows XP machine with Java version 1.6.0_03 installed, there were seven Java entries, all labelled "Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U3" which translates to Version 6, Update 3.

Back with version 1 of Firefox, the many Java entries showed different versions of Java. For more on how this used to work, see Multi-Version Support from Sun.

METHOD 3 : Internet Explorer Options

Advanced Options Tab

In Internet Explorer 6 and 7 do: Tools => Internet Options => Advanced tab and scroll down to about the middle of the options list. If a version of Java from Sun is installed, there will be a section in this list called "Java (Sun)". If Microsoft's Java is installed, there will be a section in this list called "Microsoft VM". If you see both, as the screen shot below (IE7 on Windows XP SP3) illustrates, then IE is using the one that is checked.

METHOD 4 : System Information

In some flavors of Windows, the System Information utility includes information about Internet Explorer. Among the data displayed is information on the Java Virtual Machine.

In Windows 2000 you run the System Information utility with:
Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Information

Double Click on Internet Explorer in the left hand column, then click on Summary. The Java VM version is displayed. It is similar to the output from the jview command, but not exactly the same. On one computer jview displayed 5.00.3809 while the System Information utility displayed 5.0.3809.0.

The path to the System Information utility is the same in Windows XP as in Windows 2000. However, XP does not display Java version information (at least XP Home Edition SP1 does not).

In Windows 98SE, the path to the System Information utility is also the same as with Windows 2000. I ran it on two Windows 98SE machines. With a recent version of IE5, System Information included Internet Explorer information. With an old version of IE (5.00.2614.3500) it did not.

Well you wouldn't be interested in manually counting by clicking each worksheet ?
Yes there is a way! A much easier than using the VB code;

Here we go;
We use Excel in built formula:

=COUNTA('*'!A1)+1

Check spellings on Internet Explorer - ieSpell 2.5.1 (build 106)

2011-02-23T11:00:00.001+05:30

IE Spell

IESpell is a free Internet Explorer browser extension that spell-checks text-input boxes on a Web page. It should come in particularly handy for users who do a lot of Web-based text entry (Web mail, forums, blogs, diaries).

Even if your Web application already includes spell-checking functionality, this utility is faster than a server-side solution. Plus, you get to store and use your personal word list across all your applications instead of having to maintain separate ones on each application. Version 2.5.1 build 106 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

You can access ieSpell from Internet Explorer in 3 ways;

1) using the 'Tools' menu,

2) using the toolbar button, or

3) using the context (aka right-click) menu.

NOTE: If you are using MSN/AOL or other IE based browsers, only option 3 is available to you.

You may need to restart Internet Explorer for the changes to take effect.

Surf the net on laptop with mobile phone as modem

2011-02-22T13:02:00.000+05:30

Surf the internet on you computer with mobile phone as the modem

Ever wanted to surf the net but didn't have a modem on your computer? You don't realy need a modem to be able to surf the net,you can simply use your cell phone as a modem.

HOW?

This short tutorial will teach how to set your phone as a modem connected to your computer/laptop.

1. You need a cell phone. It has to have GPRS and it must be modem enabled.

2.You need a means of connection from your cell phone to your computer or laptop (inferred,bluetooth or usb cable)

3.You need a dialup connection

4.You need to know and change your proxy settings

Step 1: Take your gprs enabled cell phone and connect it to your computer or laptop using either buletooth,infered or a usb cable.

Step 2: Create a dial up connection.Go into your control panel,then into internet options.Then go to connections and add. Create a dial up connection and when it asks for a phone number type in *99#

Step 3: On your new dialup connection add the same proxy address you have on your gprs in your cell phone.

Step 4: Now on your cpanel there should be something called modem options (If your 's doesn't have you'll have to search your computer for an option that allows you to change the acess point name or also known as the APN) here you must change the APN to whatever your APN is on yor gprs in your phone.

Step 5: Go to start menu and connect,then connect to your dial up (make sure your cell phone is connected to your computer or laptop)

Step 6: Start your browser (internet exploxer,opera etc) and start surfing the net.

Note that every cell phone has it's own speed for example 3g phones can reach up to speed's of 48 kb/s.

Problems faced:
1. First problem is that in order to run, most phones need the drivers installed. Now either bluetooth, infared or cable modems will be installed from the disc you get when u buy one. Now on the disk it should have the drivers on there, if not you will need to find another internet connection and download them.

2. Next, you CANNOT use Firefox, Bit torrent apps, IM apps, Opera, or any web based programs besides IE if you are connecting through a Proxy address. Also another downside of a proxy is your computer wont store the cookies from the phone so logging into sites may be difficult. Now in order to get around this block and use web based applications u will need to dowload a program called "Your Freedom" (Just google it as I cant remember site ATM) then enter in YF your proxy settings and it will work, and then add the proxy setting of localhost:8080 for HTTP and localhost:1080 for Socks 5. This will let you use opera and Firefox.

Ok and now I will give you some tips on how to make most of your phone as a modem.

1. Use Firefox with the FasterFox extension set up on the max and your browsing speed will be much better. An alternative is to use Opera

2. Use a download manager to speed up your downloads by 4 times and some times up to 8 times (say your av. DL speed was 1.0 Kb/s it will increase it to 4.0 Kb/s becuase it will download te file in 4 different places at once.) I reccomend using Get Right.

3. Get premium version of Your Freedom as it will get rid of 2 hour time limit and max of 10 connections. And you cant get a crack for it or anything as it uses the info from the account you set up on their site.

Firefox Bookmarks management

2011-02-14T15:14:00.001+05:30

Bookmarks management in Firefox 3 onwards
OR
How to copy Bookmarks in Firefox 3 onwards

bookmarks.html stores bookmarks in Firefox 2 and below and in other Mozilla browsers. Starting in Firefox 3, places.sqlite is used instead of bookmarks.html for storing bookmarks.

The bookmarks.html is a file in the profile folder. Mozilla applications store a user's personal information in a unique profile. The first time you start any Mozilla application, it will automatically create a default profile; additional profiles can be created using the Profile Manager. The settings which form a profile are stored in files within a special folder on your computer — this is the profile folder. The installation directory also includes a "profile" folder but this folder contains program defaults, not your user profile data.

Operating system: Windows NT (NT4.x/2000/XP/Vista/7)

Profile folder location(s): "%APPDATA%\Mozilla\"

Way to find the application data folder (profile folder):

Press [Windows Key]+ Run
→ Type in %APPDATA%
→ click OK

Editing bookmarks.html

Although the Bookmarks Manager is the primary interface for managing bookmarks, bookmarks.html can be edited directly. The file uses a simple HTML structure that includes definition lists, anchors, and headers. A typical bookmarks.html bookmark contains the URL, name, and other meta data:

ADD_DATE="1079992089" LAST_VISIT="1132078168" LAST_CHARSET=
"ISO-8859-1" ID="rdf:#$kLc2Z">Cascading Style Sheets, level
2 revision 1

The application should be closed before changes are made, else the changes will be overwritten.

Moving bookmarks.html

This file can be moved to a different profile without any extra effort.

Personal Unblocking Code (PUC / PUK)

2011-02-10T10:36:00.001+05:30

A PIN Unlock Code (PUC) or PIN Unlock Key (PUK) is used in GSM mobile phones and some smartcards to unblock a blocked card.

Most mobile telephones offer the feature of personal identification number (PIN) protection. After switching on the phone, if the PIN security function is active, the user is requested to enter a 4-8 digit PIN enabling the phone's non-emergency calling functions.

If the wrong PIN is typed in more than 3 times, either the SIM card, the device or both become locked. They can be reverted to their original unlocked state by entering a PUC (PUK), provided by the service operator through verification.

If the wrong PUC (PUK) is entered 10 times in a row, the device will become permanently blocked and unrecoverable, requiring a new SIM card. Cellular phone users are therefore advised by most providers to keep their PUC (PUK) written down in a safe place separate from the device.

The PUC (PUK) is a SIM-specific code assigned by the service provider. It is near-impossible to guess and enter it; thus, if you do not know your PUC (PUK) and are prompted for it, you should get it from your service provider.

Please note (for Indian customers): You may directly contact the service provider and get the PUK number. For this you just need to have the mobile number.

Avoiding Blank Subject Lines in Outlook 2000 - 2007

2011-01-31T11:33:00.000+05:30

Have you ever received an email with a blank subject line?

Have you ever clicked "Send" only to realize that you forgot to add a subject? It’s frustrating to receive a message with no subject.

Happily there’s a simple solution to this issue.

Through the use of a few lines of VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) code we can have Outlook check the subject line of every item we send.

Follow these instructions to use this solution.

Outlook 2000 - 2003.
1.      Start Outlook.
2.      Click Tools > Macro > Visual Basic Editor.
3.      If not already expanded, expand Microsoft Office Outlook Objects and click on ThisOutlookSession.
4.      Copy the code below and paste it into the right-hand pane of Outlook's VB Editor window.
5.      Edit the code as needed. I included comment lines wherever something needs to or can change.
6.      Click the diskette icon on the toolbar to save the changes.
7.      Close the VB Editor.
8.      Click Tools > Macro > Security.
9.      Set the "Security Level" to Medium.
10.      Close Outlook
11.      Start Outlook
12.      Outlook will display a dialog-box warning that ThisOutlookSession contains macros and asking if you want to allow them to run.

Click Yes.

Lets do the same for Outlook 2007

1.      Start Outlook.
2.      Click Tools > Macro > Visual Basic Editor.
3.      If not already expanded, expand Microsoft Office Outlook Objects and click on ThisOutlookSession.
4.      Copy the code below and paste it into the right-hand pane of Outlook's VB Editor window.
5.      Edit the code as needed. I included comment lines wherever something needs to or can change.
6.      Click the diskette icon on the toolbar to save the changes.
7.      Close the VB Editor.
8.      Click Tools > Trust Center.
9.      Click Macro Security.
10.      Set "Macro Security" to Warnings for all macros.
11.      Click OK.
12.      Close Outlook
13.      Start Outlook. Outlook will display a dialog-box warning that This Outlook Session contains macros and asking if you want to allow them to run. Click Yes..

Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
    If Item.Subject = "" Then
        'Edit the message and the popup caption on the next line as desired.'
        msgbox "You are not allowed to send an item with a blank subject. Please enter a subject and send again.", vbCritical + vbOKOnly, "Prevent Blank Subjects"
        Cancel = True
    End If
End Sub

Let's test this!!
Create a test message and leave the subject blank.
Click Send.
Outlook should cancel the send and display a pop-up message that looks something like this.

Similarly, if you Forget to Add an Attachment to your Outlook Email here is the code to NOT repeat it!!!

Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
    'On the next line edit the list of keywords as desired. Be sure to separate each word with a | character.'
    Const KEYWORDS = "attached|attachment|attachments|enclosed|enclosure"
    'On the next line edit the message that will be displayed when the message should include an attachment as desired.'
    Const WARNING_MSG = "Wording in the message suggests that something is attached, but there are no items attached. Do you want to cancel the send and add an attachment?"
    'On the next line edit the dialog-box title as desired.'
    Const MSG_TITLE = "Attachment Checker"
    Dim objRegEx As Object, colMatches As Object, bolAttachment As Boolean, olkAttachment As Outlook.Attachment
    Set objRegEx = CreateObject("VBscript.RegExp")
    With objRegEx
        .IgnoreCase = True
        .Pattern = KEYWORDS
        .Global = True
    End With
    Set colMatches = objRegEx.Execute(Item.Body)
    If colMatches.count > 0 Then
        For Each olkAttachment In Item.Attachments
            If olkAttachment.Type <> olEmbeddeditem Then
                bolAttachment = True
                Exit For
            End If
        Next
        If Not bolAttachment Then
            If msgbox(WARNING_MSG, vbQuestion + vbYesNo, MSG_TITLE) = vbYes Then
                Cancel = True
            End If
        End If
    End If
    Set olkAttachment = Nothing
    Set colMatches = Nothing
    Set objRegEx = Nothing
End Sub

In my earlier post, I had listed some ways to search entities using google search. In this post, I enlist below some ways in which you could search using Google, in an effective way;

1. Need Exact Phrase? Use quotation marks!
eg: “infosys billion dollar”

2. Expand Search With Synonym? Use a “tilde”
e.g.: “~infosys” finds IT companies similar to Infosys

3. Search by filetype (pdf, ppt, xls, doc)
e.g.: “.Net Framework” filetype:ppt

4. Negative Search Terms
e.g.: “nano –car” will return the results with word ‘nano’ but not Tata Nano car.
Please use " " marks to search specific results.

5. Limit your search results to a particular web site
e.g.: “sparsh site:infosys.com” will get the pages from infosys.com where the word ‘sparsh’ is referred.

6. Search for sites that link to a particular website:
e.g.: “link:infosys.com”

7. You’ve found a useful website & want to find other sites like it:
e.g.: “related:www.infosys.com”

8. Google is a Dictionary
Find definition of a word or a phrase?
e.g.: define: scruples

9. Google is a Calculator as well :)

10. Google is Converter too..!
eg: Convert currency, units and a lot more

11. More Search Operators

What else??
Let's see the concept of "PageRank"

PageRank explained by Google:
Google interprets a link on page A going to page B as a vote -- by page A, for page B. Google looks at more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves "important" weigh more heavily.

How to add and display a second time zone in Outlook

2011-01-13T12:20:00.000+05:30

You can add and display a second time zone in Outlook, which can be useful when you are scheduling meetings or conference calls with people who are working in other time zones.

When you add a second time zone, the current time in the primary time zone is highlighted with a color gradient to make it easier to see.

If two time zones are shown, the meeting organizer's time zone is used as the reference point. If you organize a meeting and display free/busy time for invitees from other time zones, their busy times are adjusted so that they are displayed correctly in your time zone.

The second time zone is visible only when you view the calendar in day or week view.

The start and end times for items in the Outlook Calendar are stored in the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) format. UTC is the international time standard. It is similar to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), except that UTC observes no daylight saving time (DST) and is based on a 24-hour clock. Zero (0) hours UTC is midnight GMT. The local 24-hour time convention is converted to UTC by adding or subtracting hours based on location in relation to the prime meridian, as well as local daylight saving time considerations.

If you are in one time zone, and you send a meeting request to an attendee in a different time zone, the meeting item is displayed at the respective local times on each person's calendar, but stored as the same absolute time in UTC.

For example, if a meeting organizer in the Pacific Time zone in the United States sends out a meeting request for a meeting that starts at 2:00 P.M. Pacific Time to an attendee in the Mountain Time zone, the attendee will see the meeting as starting at 3:00 P.M. Mountain Time. In both cases, the meeting is stored on the servers as starting at the same UTC time (10:00 P.M.).

Note: With respect to time zones, appointments, meeting items, and all-day events are all handled in the same way.

Add a second time zone

Outlook can display two separate time zones in the Calendar. The two time zones can be, for example, your local time zone and the time zone of a city that you often travel to. When you are staying in the other city, you might want to view your Calendar items in relation to the time zone for that city. To display a second time zone in your Outlook calendar, select the Show an additional time zone check box in the Time Zone dialog box. The second time zone is used only to show a second time bar in Calendar view, and does not affect the way in which Calendar items are stored or displayed.

1. On the Tools menu, click Options.

2. Click Calendar Options.

3. Click Time Zone.

4. Select the Show an additional time zone check box.

5. In the Label box, type a name for the additional time zone.

6. In the Time zone list, click the time zone that you want to add.

7. If you want your computer clock to automatically adjust for daylight saving time changes, select the Adjust for daylight saving time check box.

This option is available only in time zones that use daylight saving time (DST).

Tip: You can quickly switch from your current time zone to the other time zone by clicking Swap Time Zones. This change affects all time displays in Outlook and in all other Microsoft Windows-based programs.

Remove a time zone

1. On the Tools menu, click Options.

2. Click Calendar Options.

3. Click Time Zone.

4. Clear the Show an additional time zone check box.

Install Windows 7 / Vista From USB Drive [Detailed 100% Working Guide]

2011-01-10T14:02:00.000+05:30

This guide works 100% for Vista & Windows 7 unlike most of the guides out there. I have seen many sites/blogs that have “Install Vista from USB guide” but either with incomplete steps or not working guide. I have also seen some guides that don’t’ use proper commands in this guide. After spending many hours I have come up with this 100% working guide.

I just did this method on one of my friends machine and installed the new Windows 7 BETA. The main advantage is that by using USB drive you will be able to install Windows 7/Vista in just 15 minutes. You can also use this bootable USB drive on friend’s computer who doesn’t have a DVD optical drive.

The method is very simple and you can use without any hassles. Needless to say that your motherboard should support USB Boot feature to make use of the bootable USB drive.

Requirements:

*USB Flash Drive (Minimum 4GB)

*Windows 7 or Vista installation files.

Follow the below steps to create bootable Windows 7/Vista USB drive using which you can install Windows 7/Vista easily.

1. Plug-in your USB flash drive to USB port and move all the contents from USB drive to a safe location on your system.

2. Open Command Prompt with admin rights. Use any of the below methods to open Command Prompt with admin rights.

*Type cmd in Start menu search box and hit Ctrl+ Shift+ Enter.

Or

*Go to Start menu > All programs > Accessories, right click on Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.

3. You need to know about the USB drive a little bit. Type in the following commands in the command prompt:

First type DISKPART and hit enter to see the below message.

Next type LIST DISK command and note down the Disk number (ex: Disk 1) of your USB flash drive. In the below screenshot my Flash Drive Disk no is Disk 1.

4. Next type all the below commands one by one. Here I assume that your disk drive no is “Disk 1”.If you have Disk 2 as your USB flash drive then use Disk 2.Refer the above step to confirm it.

So below are the commands you need to type and execute one by one:

SELECT DISK 1

CLEAN

CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY

SELECT PARTITION 1

ACTIVE

FORMAT FS=NTFS

(Format process may take few seconds)

ASSIGN

EXIT

Don’t close the command prompt as we need to execute one more command at the next step. Just minimize it.

5. Next insert your Windows7/Vista DVD into the optical drive and check the drive letter of the DVD drive. In this guide I will assume that your DVD drive letter is “D” and USB drive letter is “H” (open my computer to know about it).

6. Maximize the minimized Command Prompt in the 4th step.Type the following command now:

D: CD BOOT and hit enter.Where “D” is your DVD drive letter.

CD BOOT and hit enter to see the below message.

7. Type another command given below to update the USB drive with BOOTMGR compatible code.

BOOTSECT.EXE /NT60 H:

Where “H” is your USB drive letter. Once you enter the above command you will see the below message.

8. Copy your Windows 7/Vista DVD contents to the USB flash drive.

9. Your USB drive is ready to boot and install Windows 7/Vista. Only thing you need to change the boot priority at the BIOS to USB from the HDD or CD ROM drive. I won’t explain it as it’s just the matter the changing the boot priority or enabling the USB boot option in the BIOS.

Note: If you are not able to boot after following this guide means you haven’t set the BIOS priority to USB. If you got any problem in following this guide feel free to ask questions by leaving comment.

Also if you find this guide difficult to follow, please use the easy-to-use guide to create a bootable USB to install Windows 7 using official tool.

How to use Aero Flip 3D and Alt-Tab in Windows 7

2011-01-03T18:31:00.000+05:30

Aero Flip 3D was first introduced in Vista.

With Aero Flip 3D, you can quickly preview all of your open windows

(for example, open files, folders, documents and programs) without accessing the taskbar. It displays your open windows in a visually pleasing stack.

To use Flip 3D, click and hold the Windows button together with the Tab key.

As you hold the windows button press the tab key to rotate the stack. This will move the windows in a queue so you can see all of your windows in sequence. Once you see the window that you want to view, release the windows button. The window when you release the windows button will be the active window.

Alt-Tab on the other hand will show the opened windows too, but in a different visual presentation. Instead of a 3D stack, it displays the each of the windows’ thumbnails. On Windows XP, Alt-Tab displays the icons of the programs instead of thumbnails. You can switch between windows by continually pressing Tab while holding Alt.

You can also move around by using the arrow keys instead of the Tab key.

Note: Flip 3D is part of the Aero experience. If your computer does not support Aero, or if you are using a theme other than a Windows 7 Aero theme, you can view the open programs and windows on your computer by pressing Alt+Tab.

If you find the traditional Alt-Tab method to be boring, the Flip 3D method is a good alternative. The only downside is that you need to have a hardware that supports Aero.

How to change the Default OS Boot Order between Windows 7 and Vista?

2011-01-03T18:07:00.000+05:30

If you have recently installed Windows 7 beta on your Vista machine like me, then you may be wondering what is the easy way to change the boot order between Windows 7 and Vista without manually changing any settings under boot.ini or any other file.

Here is a way to change the default OS to boot using the Advanced System Properties under Vista.

So how to change the default OS to boot from Windows 7 to Vista?

Go to

Control Panel Home (Start -> Control Panel) -> System and Maintenance -> System.

On the left side pane, under the Tasks, Click Advanced System Settings.

Click Settings under Startup and Recovery.

Under System startup, you can change the Default operating system between Windows 7 and Vista. If you have installed any other OS, you can change between those settings as well.

Click OK and the next time you start your computer, the boot order should have changed. You can also change the time duration for which it shows to change the booting OS.

PLEASE NOTE:
If you want to change the boot sequence on your MAC NoteBook !
In System Preferences > Startup Disk you should be able to choose Mac OS X as the default system in which you wish to boot.

Changing the dual boot order using the boot.ini or BCDEdit.exe

2011-01-03T15:40:00.000+05:30

The primary tool to edit Windows Vista boot configuration is BCDEdit.exe, a tool which is included in Windows Vista distribution in the;

C:\windows\system32 folder

(C: being the windows vista system drive).

BCDEdit.exe allows you to change and configure boot application data (files) in the BCD (Boot Configuration Data) stores which replace the settings in the boot.ini file in earlier versions of Windows.

BCDEdit basically replaces the BootCfg.exe tool that was used with earlier versions of Windows. BCDEdit provides much better and wider command line options and can do much more tasks than BCDCfg.

Here’s how you can use BCDedit to change the boot sequence and display order in the boot menu.

1. Start > Cmd > Right Click cmd> Run as Administrator

2. At the command prompt :

a. C:\> cd windows/system32

b. C:\windows\system32> bcdedit /?

c. C:\windows\system32> bcdedit /enum all

d. The output displays the boot configuration data of all the operating systems on the computer:

Windows Boot Loader

identifier {current}

device partition=C:

path \Windows\system32\winload.exe

description Microsoft Windows Vista

locale en-US

inherit {bootloadersettings}

recoverysequence {572bcd56-ffa7-11d9-aae0-007e994107d}

recoveryenabled Yes

osdevice partition=C:

systemroot \Windows

resumeobject {89b97029-9609-11db-bbfe-cfc7153012f0}

nx OptIn

e. Note the 128-bit GUID of the Windows XP system. You will have a similar entry for that.

f. C:\Windows\system32> bcdedit /default

E.g bcdedit /default {cbd971bf-b7b8-4885-951a-fa03044f5d71}

Where {cbd971bf-b7b8-4885-951a-fa03044f5d71} is the GUID of the Windows XP system.

In case you wish to delete the Windows XP entry from the boot menu:

g. c:\windows\system32> bcdedit /delete

You can also change the description of an entry using the following command:

h. Bcdedit /set ID description "The new description"

For example:

bcdedit /set {802d5e32-0784-11da-bd33-000476eba25f} description "My Favorite OS"

You can change the display order of the boot options using the following command:

i. bcdedit /displayorder ID1 [ID2] [ID3] [...]

For example :

bcdedit /displayorder {802d5e32-0784-11da-bd33-000476eba25f}

{cbd971bf-b7b8-4885-951a-fa03044f5d71}

This will change the diplay order of the entries the next time the system is turned on only.

In order to make permanant changes to the boot order you can use the following command:

j. bcdedit /bootsequence ID1 [ID2] [ID3] ...

For example:

bcdedit /bootsequence {802d5e32-0784-11da-bd33-000476eba25f}

{cbd971bf-b7b8-4885-951a-fa03044f5d71}

The following command sets the boot manager’s timeout to 30 seconds:

k. Bcdedit /timeout 30
