Enabling Right Click On Web-Sites which is Disabled

Enabling Right Click On Web-Sites which is Disabled

Lots of web sites have disabled the right click function of the mouse button... it's really, really annoying. This is done so that you don't steal (via right-click->save picture) their photos or images or any other goodies. Unfortunately, it disables ALL right-click functionality: copy, paste, open in new window.

It's easy to change, assuming your using IE 6:
Click "Tools"->"Internet Options"
Click the "Security" tab
Click "Custom Level"
Scroll down to the "Scripting" section
Set "Active Scripting" to "disable"
Click "Ok" a couple of times.

You'll probably want to turn this back to "enable" when your done... 'cause generally the javascript enhances a website.

Installing XP After Vista DUAL BOOT

Installing XP After Vista DUAL BOOT

Hello To all ,

i was just thinking that many users are trying to install XP after they installed Vista,but both OS dont detect each other in dual boot,

so here is a Tutorial to do so,

Conditions: you have installed Vista and now you want Xp in the second boot, and when you do so , your Vista isnt detected anymore, so now you either format your Drives and install again, or you repair Vista and thats ok,

But you can run both in Dual boot without formatting,

As vista is installed, you install Windows Xp in X:> (X is the drive of your Choice) (may be D: , E: etc)

now your comp. restarts in XP without showing Vista, dont worry just restart your COmp. and boot from VIsta CD/DVD whatever you have, repair your installation and now your VISTA boots up, without Showing Xp, but nothing to worry,

Just Place your Vista DVD/CD int he drive in VISTA and now go to start menu, all programs , accessories , right click on command prompt

and click on run as administrator

now type these commands :

Use Bootsect.exe to restore the Windows Vista MBR and the boot code that transfers control to the Windows Boot Manager program. To do this, type the following command at a command prompt:
Drive:\boot\ Bootsect.exe –NT60 All

In this command, Drive is the drive where the Windows Vista installation media is located.
Use Bcdedit.exe to manually create an entry in the BCD Boot.ini file for the earlier version of the Windows operating system. To do this, type the following commands at a command prompt.

Note In these commands, Drive is the drive where Windows Vista is installed.

Drive:\Windows\system32\Bcdedit –create {ntldr} –d “Description for earlier Windows version”

Note In this command, Description for earlier Windows version can be any text that you want. For example, Description for earlier Windows version can be "Windows XP” or “Windows Server 2003." Drive:\Windows\system32\Bcdedit –set {ntldr} device partition=x:

Note In this command, x: is the drive letter for the active partition.
Drive:\Windows\system32\Bcdedit –set {ntldr} path \ntldrDrive:\Windows\system32\Bcdedit –displayorder {ntldr} –addlast

Restart the computer.

3 ways to get IP of a person

3 ways to get IP of a person

Obtaining an IP from MSN Messenger.
----------------------------------

Firstly we learn the method used by most people when they want to get
someone elses IP Address.

Step 1 - Start MSN Messenger and login as yourself.

Step 2 - Hit your "Start" button and click run. Type into the white box
"Command" (without the quotation marks)

Step 3 - Type in "Netstat -N" (without the quotation marks) into the
black box and hit enter.

Step 4 - Start a conversation with your 'victim' and send them a file.
Once they accept the file Hit your "Start" button and click run. Type
into
the white box "Command" (without the quotation marks) and Type in
"Netstat -N" (without the quotation marks) into the black box and hit
enter.

Step 5 - Look in the middle column of both your MS Dos boxes and look
in the newer wndow for the IP address that has magically appeared in
the middle column. This is your victim's IP Address.

Obtaiing an IP from an E-Mail.
-------------------------------

Ok, lets say the person does not use MSN Messenger (can't blame them)
we can get an IP address from most E-Mail address. In this example we
shall use Outlook Express to view the E-Mails in.

Step 1 - Load Outlok express and left click on an E-Mail that was sent
from your 'victim'

Step 2 - Right click this E-Mail and click the "Properties" button.

Step 3 - Now Click on the tab displaying as it's text "Details" and
look for the buttom saying "Message Source", once found (not hard) click it.

Step 4 - Look in all the jargon for something like "X-Originating-IP: "
with a number after the colon. This number is the sender's IP Address.

Step 5 - If you cannot find "X-Originating-IP: " then do not worry.
Look for instead "Received:", and go along this string untill you come
to a nuber in brackets, this however maybe an IP but it might not be
the IP address of the 'victim', infact if they sent the E-Mail from a
we E-Mail service (like hotmail.com) then chances are it is not their
IP address.

Obtaining an IP from Physical Access.(For your PC)
------------------------------------

If you have physical access to a computer then getting the IP address
is simple.

Step 1 - Click the "Start" button and hit "Run". Type in "Command" and
hit enter.

Step 2 - Type in "ipconfig" OR "winipcfg" and hit enter now look for
where it says "IP Address:", next to this is the IP of the computer you
are using.

The system has recovered from a serious error?

The system has recovered from a serious error?

Whenever Windows XP encounters a problem (that it thinks is serious
even if you did not do anything unusual) it creates a dump file. Next
time you reboot, you most likely see this error message. Clicking on more information
shows error signature and other clumsy details. Typically minidump
would be stored in \WINDOWS\MINIDUMP directory. It is not so easy to
decipher this information. Best thing to do is to go to Windows
Online Crash Analysis site at http://oca.microsoft.com and submit
report ( or check status if you have already submitted the report). You
may need to signon with Microsoft .Net Passport and if you don't have
you may need to create one by supply some basic information about
yourself..
Following are some of actions that you can take to avoid this error from cropping up.

Temporarily disabling error reporting:

Right-clock on my computer, select properties, advanced tab, error
reporting button - turn on the "no error reporting" check box and turn
off the "but notify me" option.

Disable Virtual Memory:

Right-click on my computer, select properties, advanced tab,
performance settings, advanced tab, virtual memory "change" button.
Note down the current VM settings (system managed or any customized
size. Turn on the "no paging file" bullet, and press the set tab.

Delete the paging file:

Reboot. Verify that the option reads 0 kb for page file. Use folder
options on control panel or explorer "tools" pulldown menu & go to
"view" tab. Turn off check box to permit viewing of system files. Now
explorer on the root of C drive (or what ever drive letter you page
file was set to use), should show a pagefile.sys entry. Delete this.
You will get a warning message about this being a system file. Since
you have disabled virtual memory, this entry is not being used. Delete
it. Go empty the trash bin to make sure this entry is cleared.

Re-enable Virtual Memory:

Right-click on my computer, select properties, advanced tab,
performance settings, advanced tab, virtual memory "change" button ,
turn on the system-managed or customized paging file with the same
settings as you noted down earlier. Be sure to press the set button.
Reboot and verify that the paging file is active. Re-enable error
reporting that was disabled earlier. Reboot to verify that the
repetitive error message has indeed "left the building"

Now extract the file and then run “run_reg_code.reg” file. It’ll ask ur confirmation, say YES and then OK. Now u’ll see a new entry for Windows Media Player under the RUN menuitem. (U may required to log off for make the changes)

In the above tutorial a few things can be changed for other shortcuts. Like u can change the name to some other if u want!
The “Default Icon” is the path of the icon file, which u want to display in the Start menu shortcut. (NOTE: Double slashes r compulsory).
Similarly, the “Param1” in “Instance\InitPropertyBag” is the path of the executable file, to which u want to create the shortcut. (Here also the Double slashes r compulsory!).

Change the System Properties Logo

Change the System Properties Logo

Create your own logo image in a graphic .bmp file. Ideally the image should be maximum 180 pixels wide and 120 pixels high.

Copy your logo image file over to the system32 subdirectory under the Windows system directory (usually c:\windows\system32)

Rename your image file to oemlogo.bmp

If you want to add your contact info in the system properties screen, create a file called oeminfo.ini in the same system32 directory and copy this in the file:

[General] Manufacturer=TEXT YOU WANT Model=TEXT YOU WANT[Support Information] line1=TEXT YOU WANT line2=TEXT YOU WANT line3=TEXT YOU WANT line4=TEXT YOU WANT

Open the oeminfo.ini file with your text editor of choice and edit the sections under "General" and "Support Information"


ENJOY GUYZ...

Rename a Series of Files - XP

Rename a Series of Files - XP

Rename a Series of Files

When you download photos from your digital camera, they often have unrecognizable names. You can rename several similar files at once with the following procedure. This also works for renaming other types of files.

1.Open the My Pictures folder. (Click Start, and then click My Pictures.) Or open another folder containing files that you want to rename.

2.Select the files you want to rename. If the files you want are not adjacent in the file list, press and hold CTRL, and then click each item to select it.

3.On the File menu, click Rename.

4.Type the new name, and then press ENTER.

All of the files in the series will be named in sequence using the new name you type. For example, if you type Birthday, the first will be named Birthday and subsequent files in the series will be named Birthday (1), Birthday (2), and so on. To specify the starting number for the series, type the starting number in parentheses after the new file name. The files in the series will be numbered in sequence starting with the number you type. For example, if you type Birthday (10), the other files will be named Birthday (11), Birthday (12), and so on.
