Windows Tricks : Changing Startup and Log-off screens

Changing Startup and Log-off screens

Startup Screen
1. Create a 320x400 bitmap in the root directory and name it LOGO.SYS
2. You can use LOGOW.SYS file in the Windows directory as a starter

Logoff Screens
1. There are many system file that constitutes Lofoff screen.
2. They are actually bitmaps 320x400 that just have a different extension
3. The hidden file in the root directory LOGO.SYS is the startup logo.
4. There are two files in the Windows directory.
5. LOGOW.SYS is the Wait while Shutting down ... screen.
6. LOGOS.SYS is the You may now shut-off or Reboot screen.
7. Make two new image files of your chice in Paint and name it as LOGOW.SYS and LOGOS.SYS and replce the actual windows file by this two.

The Benefits of Hyper-Threading on Core i7 Processors

Sometime next month, computer enthusiasts will finally be introduced to Intel's highly anticipated Nehalem-based Core i7 processors, which, among other things, are said to deliver a new level of performance, over the capabilities of Intel's current Core 2 offering. There have been many leaked and confirmed details regarding the technical specifications of Intel's next-generation desktop processors, but one of the most interesting features has to be the Hyper-Threading Technology, which has been enabled on AMD's processors for quite some time now.

window.google_render_ad();
Looking to find out just how significant the new technology will be to the performance level of Intel's new processors, the guys over at Vr-zone have posted a set of benchmark results, meant to reveal the difference in performance when the Hyper-Threading is turned on, in comparison with that of when it isn't enabled. As it turns out, this new feature (at least on Intel's Core processors) does deliver a slight boost in performance, but only for multi-threaded applications.

In order to make sure they used only the latest and best, the test platform was made of an X58 platform, a Core i7 processor, and an HD 4850 X2 graphics card, pieces of hardware that you aren't likely to find in shops these days. The software platform included the 3DMark Vantage CPU benchmark, Crysis Warhead, Far Cry 2 and CineBench 10. At a first glance, the figures might indicate that enabling HT on Core i7 can negatively impact the performance results of gaming applications. However, that's only because Crysis Warhead and Far Cry 2 aren't all that fond of multi-threads.

On the other hand, 3DMark Vantage and CineBench 10 managed to improve their performance while the Hyper-Threading technology was turned on, recording a boost of 34.1% and 16.6%, respectively. Basically, unless you are not dealing with a multi-threaded gaming application, Core i7's new feature won't really help with your high-end gaming.

Windows Vista Run with 0 (Zero) RAM

Windows Vista Run with 0 (Zero) RAM

That's right! Windows Vista can run using a total of zero system memory. Well, bear with me, it will all make sense in the end. When it first introduced Windows Vista, Microsoft faced criticism because of the system requirements associated with the new platform. And the truth of the matter is that Vista is nothing short of a resource hog. The latest operating system from the Redmond company will eat right through CPU cycles, and will swallow every last bit of Random Access Memory you can throw at it. Vista will hesitate little to consume all the resources at its disposal in order to deliver the high-end performance level and user experience synonymous with the Wow.

The system requirements for Vista are divided according to SKU. There are the recommended minimum hardware requirements valid for Windows Vista Home Basic and Starter editions, and then the standard is raised when it comes to the Home Premium, Business, Enterprise and Ultimate SKUs. According to Microsoft, Vista can go as low as an 800-MHz 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor and 512 MB of RAM. But this does not mean that users cannot feed some 3.5 GB of RAM into 32-bit editions of Vista and up to 128 GB in the 64-bit versions.

But as you can see from the screenshot included at the bottom of this article, Vista can function with zero RAM. I know, it does sound illogical, but then again... And no, it is not an example of my Photoshop skills at work, it is a genuine screenshot from Vista. It has become a sort of a reflex for me to go for either Ctrl + Alt + Delete or for Ctrl + Shift + Esc, when Windows freezes. And this is exactly what happened. With the small mention that Windows Task Manager had a small surprise for me. Windows Vista was apparently using no RAM and no CPU. No handles, no threads, processes, up time or page file. No kernel memory, paged or not paged. And a total of zero RAM both cached and free, out of my 2 GB of physical system memory. Now I know that asking Vista to run on zero RAM is a tad too much from Microsoft, but they could have lowered the bar to something more acceptable than a minimum of 2 GB. Because if you think Vista will run smooth with 512 MB of system memory or 1 GB under all scenarios, and whatever workload you throw at it, you are sadly mistaken.

Slow Shutdown

Slow Shutdown

Some people have noticed that they are experiencing a really slow shutdown after installing Windows XP Home or Professional. Although this can be caused a number of ways, the most clear cut one so far is happening on systems with an NVidia card installed with the latest set of drivers. A service called NVIDIA Driver Helper Service is loading up on start up and for whatever reason doesn't shut itself down properly. The service isn't needed and can also increase the amount of memory available to your system. Here is how to disable it.

1: Go into your Control Panel

2: Select Administrative Tools and then click on Services

3: Right click on the file "NVIDIA Driver Helper Service" and then select STOP.

4: To stop this loading up every time you boot up your PC Right click it again and select properties - then where the option "Startup Type" is shown - make sure it is set at Manual like we have shown in the image below.

NTFS vs. FAT

NTFS vs. FAT

To NTFS or not to NTFS—that is the question. But unlike the deeper questions of life, this one isn't really all that hard to answer. For most users running Windows XP, NTFS is the obvious choice. It's more powerful and offers security advantages not found in the other file systems. But let's go over the differences among the files systems so we're all clear about the choice. There are essentially three different file systems available in Windows XP: FAT16, short for File Allocation Table, FAT32, and NTFS, short for NT File System.

FAT16

The FAT16 file system was introduced way back with MS–DOS in 1981, and it's showing its age. It was designed originally to handle files on a floppy drive, and has had minor modifications over the years so it can handle hard disks, and even file names longer than the original limitation of 8.3 characters, but it's still the lowest common denominator. The biggest advantage of FAT16 is that it is compatible across a wide variety of operating systems, including Windows 95/98/Me, OS/2, Linux, and some versions of UNIX. The biggest problem of FAT16 is that it has a fixed maximum number of clusters per partition, so as hard disks get bigger and bigger, the size of each cluster has to get larger. In a 2–GB partition, each cluster is 32 kilobytes, meaning that even the smallest file on the partition will take up 32 KB of space. FAT16 also doesn't support compression, encryption, or advanced security using access control lists.

FAT32

The FAT32 file system, originally introduced in Windows 95 Service Pack 2, is really just an extension of the original FAT16 file system that provides for a much larger number of clusters per partition. As such, it greatly improves the overall disk utilization when compared to a FAT16 file system. However, FAT32 shares all of the other limitations of FAT16, and adds an important additional limitation—many operating systems that can recognize FAT16 will not work with FAT32—most notably Windows NT, but also Linux and UNIX as well. Now this isn't a problem if you're running FAT32 on a Windows XP computer and sharing your drive out to other computers on your network—they don't need to know (and generally don't really care) what your underlying file system is.

The Advantages of NTFS

The NTFS file system, introduced with first version of Windows NT, is a completely different file system from FAT. It provides for greatly increased security, file–by–file compression, quotas, and even encryption. It is the default file system for new installations of Windows XP, and if you're doing an upgrade from a previous version of Windows, you'll be asked if you want to convert your existing file systems to NTFS. Don't worry. If you've already upgraded to Windows XP and didn't do the conversion then, it's not a problem. You can convert FAT16 or FAT32 volumes to NTFS at any point. Just remember that you can't easily go back to FAT or FAT32 (without reformatting the drive or partition), not that I think you'll want to.
The NTFS file system is generally not compatible with other operating systems installed on the same computer, nor is it available when you've booted a computer from a floppy disk. For this reason, many system administrators, myself included, used to recommend that users format at least a small partition at the beginning of their main hard disk as FAT. This partition provided a place to store emergency recovery tools or special drivers needed for reinstallation, and was a mechanism for digging yourself out of the hole you'd just dug into. But with the enhanced recovery abilities built into Windows XP (more on that in a future column), I don't think it's necessary or desirable to create that initial FAT partition.

When to Use FAT or FAT32If you're running more than one operating system on a single computer (see Dual booting in Guides), you will definitely need to format some of your volumes as FAT. Any programs or data that need to be accessed by more than one operating system on that computer should be stored on a FAT16 or possibly FAT32 volume. But keep in mind that you have no security for data on a FAT16 or FAT32 volume—any one with access to the computer can read, change, or even delete any file that is stored on a FAT16 or FAT32 partition. In many cases, this is even possible over a network. So do not store sensitive files on drives or partitions formatted with FAT file systems.

পার্সোনাল কম্পিউটারে কিভাবে আপনার গোপন ফাইলটি নিরাপদে রাখবেন?

পার্সোনাল কম্পিউটারে কিভাবে আপনার গোপন ফাইলটি নিরাপদে রাখবেন?
লিখেছেন বোরহান ঊদ্দিন মুন্না

আপনার বাড়িতে অন্যান্য ইউজারের হাত থেকে আপনার প্রয়োজনীয় ফাইলটি নিরাপদে বা লুকিয়ে রাখার জন্য এই টিপটি খু্বই উপকারী। একটু ভাবুন যদি একটি বাড়িতে অথবা একটি অফিসে অনেকজন ইউজার একই কম্পিউটার ব্যবহার করে, তাহলে এর মধ্যে আপনার ব্যক্তিগত ফাউলগুলো ১০০% নিরাপত্তার কোন ব্যবস্থা থাকে না। আপনি হয়তো বা ৩য় কোন সফ্‌টওয়্যার ব্যবহার করবেন আপনার ফাইলটির নিরাপত্তার জন্য, কিন্তু আপনার মাইক্রোসফ্‌ট উইন্ডোজ এ এর কোন প্রয়োজনই নেই। আপনি উইন্ডোজ (এক্সপি, ২০০৩, ভিসটা) এ এট্রিব কমান্ড ব্যবহার করে সহযেই আপনার ফাইল অথবা ফোল্ডারটির এট্রিবিউট (রিড অনলি, হিডেন) চেন্ঞ্জ করতে পরেন, এবং আপনার ফাইলটিকে দিতে পারেন ১০০% নিরাপত্তা।

নিন্মানুসারে ফাইল/ফোল্ডারের এট্রিবিউট (Attribute) এডিট করতে হয়:-

১. এটা করার জন্য আপনার কম্পিউটারটি অবশ্যই এডমিনিস্ট্রেটরে (Administrator) লগ ইন হতে হবে।

২. এবার আপনা আপনার যে ফাইল/ফোল্ডারটি হাইড করতে পান তার পাথটি ভাল করে দেখে নিন। (উদাহরণস্বরুপ ধরুন আমার কম্পিউটারে D:\ ড্রাইবে borhan নামে একটি ফোল্ডার আছে)

৩. প্রথমে start মেনু থেকে run ডায়ালগ বক্স খুলুন, এর মধ্যে সিএমডি (cmd) লিখে ok চাপুন।

৪. এবার টাইপ করুন এই কমান্ডটি "attrib +s +h D:\borhan" এবং ইন্টার চাপুন কমান্ডটি এক্সিকিউটের জন্য।

৫. এই কমান্ডটি আপনার D:\ ড্রাইব থেকে borhan নামের ফোল্ডারটি হাইড করে ফেলবে। আপনি পরীক্ষা করে দেখতে পারেন।

৬. অন্য কেই এই ফোল্ডারটি আনহাইড করতে পারবে না। "Show hidden files and folders" অপশনটি ব্যবহার করে ও নয়।

৭. আপনি যখন ফোল্ডারটি আনহাইড করতে পান তখন আবার কমান্ড প্রম্পট খুলুন এবং এই কমান্ডটি "attrib -s -h D:\borhan" টাইপ করে এন্টার চাপুন, তাহলে আপনার ফোল্ডারটি আনহাইড হয়ে যাবে।

(বিশেষ দ্রষ্টব্য:- আপনি যদি কোন ফোল্ডার হাইড/আনহাইড করতে চান তাহলে আপনাকে কমান্ড দেওয়ার সময় শুধু ফোল্ডারের নাম টাইপ করলেই চলবে, কিন্তু যদি কোন ফাইল হাইড/আনহাইড করতে হয় তাহলে আপনাকে কমান্ড দেওয়ার সময় ফাইলটির নাম সহ ফাইল টাইপটি লিখতে হবে। যেমন:- .jpeg , .mpeg , .rar , .doc etc)।

Create Folders And Files With NO! Name

Create Folders And Files With NO! Name

This trick will allow you to create files and folders without any name.

Just follow the following steps:

1.Select any file or folder.

2.Right click on it, press rename or simply press F2.

3.Press and hold the alt key. While holding the Alt key, type numbers 0160 from the numpad.


Note: Type the numbers 0160 from the numpad, that is, the numbers present on the right side of the keyboard. Don’t type the numbers which are present on top of the character keys.


4.Press Enter and the nameless file or folder will be created.


Reason: The file or folder that seems nameless is actually named with a single space.


But what if you want to create another nameless file or folder in the same directory ?

For this you will have to rename the file with 2 spaces. Just follow these steps below:

1.Select file, press F2.

2.Hold alt key and type 0160 from the numpad.

3.Release the alt key. Now without doing anything else, again hold alt key and press 0160.

4.Press enter and you will have second nameless file in the same directory.

5.Repeat step 3 to create as many nameless files or folders in the same directory.
(we’ve had a problem with deleting these folders, to do so, start your computer in safe mode and delete it from there.)

Unlock Password Protected Memory Card

How to Unlock Password Protected Memory Card

Well its quite simple but most of the people do not know it.

Please note the fact that it only works if the password to the MMC Card was set in ur own mobile,where u want it to be unlocked.

This method works well for nokia cells with symbian operating system.Never tried on other cells.use any software like FXplorer that can browse files in ur cell.


1. Open one of above software you have.

2. Browse through the directory, C:\system

3. Rename the file mmcstore to mmcstore.txt

4. Open the file - The file will open in Notes.

5. You will find your password in that file. That file would also contain much more data which you do not understand,so you need to go through the file to get the password!

When ur cell is connected to pc by means of data cable or bluetooth,u can see the password by simply opening the file mmcstore with notepad

15 Good Tricks of Firebox !!!

15 Good Tricks of Firebox !!!

Everybody’s favorite open-source browser, Firefox, is great right out of the box. And by adding some of the awesome extensions available out there, the browser just gets better and better. But look under the hood, and there are a bunch of hidden (and some not-so-secret) tips and tricks available that will crank Firefox up and pimp your browser. Make it faster, cooler, more efficient. Get to be a Jedi master with the following cool Firefox tricks.

1) More screen space : Make your icons small. Go to View - Toolbars - Customize and check the “Use small icons” box.

2) Smart keywords : If there’s a search you use a lot (let’s say IMDB.com’s people search), this is an awesome tool that not many people use. Right-click on the search box, select “Add a Keyword for this search”, give the keyword a name and an easy-to-type and easy-to-remember shortcut name (let’s say “actor”) and save it. Now, when you want to do an actor search, go to Firefox’s address bar, type “actor” and the name of the actor and press return. Instant search! You can do this with any search box.

3) Keyboard shortcuts : This is where you become a real Jedi. It just takes a little while to learn these, but once you do, your browsing will be super fast. Here are some of the most common (and my personal favs):

* Spacebar (page down)

* Shift-Spacebar (page up)

* Ctrl+F (find) * Alt-N (find next)

* Ctrl+D (bookmark page)

* Ctrl+T (new tab)

* Ctrl+K (go to search box)

* Ctrl+L (go to address bar)

* Ctrl+= (increase text size)

* Ctrl+- (decrease text size)

* Ctrl-W (close tab)

* F5 (reload)

* Alt-Home (go to home page)

4) Auto-complete : This is another keyboard shortcut, but it’s not commonly known and very useful. Go to the address bar (Control-L) and type the name of the site without the “www” or the “.com”. Let’s say “google”. Then press Control-Enter, and it will automatically fill in the “www” and the “.com” and take you there - like magic! For .net addresses, press Shift-Enter, and for .org addresses, press Control-Shift-Enter.

5) Tab navigation : Instead of using the mouse to select different tabs that you have open, use the keyboard. Here are the shortcuts:

* Ctrl+Tab (rotate forward among tabs)

* Ctrl+Shft+Tab (rotate to the previous tab)

* Ctrl+1-9 (choose a number to jump to a specific tab)

6) Mouse shortcuts : Sometimes you’re already using your mouse and it’s easier to use a mouse shortcut than to go back to the keyboard. Master these cool ones: * Middle click on link (opens in new tab) * Shift-scroll down (previous page) * Shift-scroll up (next page) * Ctrl-scroll up (decrease text size) * Ctrl-scroll down (increase text size) * Middle click on a tab (closes tab)

7) Delete items from address bar history : Firefox’s ability to automatically show previous URLs you’ve visited, as you type, in the address bar’s drop-down history menu is very cool. But sometimes you just don’t want those URLs to show up (I won’t ask why). Go to the address bar (Ctrl-L), start typing an address, and the drop-down menu will appear with the URLs of pages you’ve visited with those letters in them. Use the down-arrow to go down to an address you want to delete, and press the Delete key to make it disappear.

8 ) User chrome : If you really want to trick out your Firefox, you’ll want to create a UserChrome.css file and customize your browser. It’s a bit complicated to get into here, but check out this tutorial.

9) Create a user.js file : Another way to customize Firefox, creating a user.js file can really speed up your browsing. You’ll need to create a text file named user.js in your profile folder (see this to find out where the profile folder is) and see this example user.js file that you can modify. Created by techlifeweb.com, this example explains some of the things you can do in its comments.

10) about:config : The true power user’s tool, about.config isn’t something to mess with if you don’t know what a setting does. You can get to the main configuration screen by putting about:config in the browser’s address bar. See Mozillazine’s about:config tips and screenshots.

11) Add a keyword for a bookmark : Go to your bookmarks much faster by giving them keywords. Right-click the bookmark and then select Properties. Put a short keyword in the keyword field, save it, and now you can type that keyword in the address bar and it will go to that bookmark.

12) Speed up Firefox : If you have a broadband connection (and most of us do), you can use pipelining to speed up your page loads. This allows Firefox to load multiple things on a page at once, instead of one at a time (by default, it’s optimized for dialup connections).

Here’s how:

* Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return. Type “network.http” in the filter field, and change the following settings (double-click on them to change them):

* Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”

* Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”

* Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to a number like 30. This will allow it to make 30 requests at once.

* Also, right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0″. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.

13) Limit RAM usage : If Firefox takes up too much memory on your computer, you can limit the amount of RAM it is allowed to us. Again, go to about:config, filter “browser.cache” and select “browser.cache.disk.capacity”. It’s set to 50000, but you can lower it, depending on how much memory you have. Try 15000 if you have between 512MB and 1GB ram.

14) Reduce RAM usage further for when Firefox is minimized : This setting will move Firefox to your hard drive when you minimize it, taking up much less memory. And there is no noticeable difference in speed when you restore Firefox, so it’s definitely worth a go. Again, go to about:config, right-click anywhere and select New-> Boolean. Name it “config.trim_on_minimize” and set it to TRUE. You have to restart Firefox for these settings to take effect.

15) Move or remove the close tab button : Do you accidentally click on the close button of Firefox’s tabs? You can move them or remove them, again through about:config. Edit the preference for “browser.tabs.closeButtons”. Here are the meanings of each value:

* 0: Display a close button on the active tab only

* 1:(Default) Display close buttons on all tabs

* 2:Don’t display any close buttons

* 3:Display a single close button at the end of the tab bar (Firefox 1.x behavior)

Convert PDF to JPG

In the majority of cases, the PDF format is well suited for the storage and exchange of electronic documents. However, there are certain tasks where PDF is either poorly suitable or not suitable at all.

For example, you may have to convert documents from PDF to JPG in order to insert them into a PowerPoint presentation or Microsoft Word document. The publication of documents on a site in the JPG format protects them from being altered due to the lack of fonts on the user's computer. The ease of work with a corporate archive increases if the list of links given by the search engine contains thumbnails of the first pages of found documents.
Universal Document Converter is the most complete solution for the conversion of documents into JPG, TIFF or other graphical files. The underlying basis of Universal Document Converter is the technology of virtual printing. As a result, converting documents from PDF to JPG format is not any more complicated than printing on a desktop printer.

How to Convert PDF to JPG

Download and install Universal Document Converter software onto your computer.
Open the PDF file in Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader and press File->Print in the application main menu:Print..." in application main menu.' src="http://pdf-to-jpg.info/images/print_pdf.jpg" width=525 border=0>
Select Universal Document Converter from the printers list and press Properties button.
Select the Document to JPEG, Color profile in the Printing Preferences window and press OK:
Press OK in Acrobat's Print dialog to start converting. When the JPG file is ready, it will be saved to the C:\UDC Output Files folder by default.
The converted document will then be opened in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer software or another viewer associated with JPG files on your computer.
