Funny notepad trick...Hack your friend's keyboard and make it to appear "You are a fool" continously

The trick..
Today,we can learn a new trick of how to hack and prank your friend's pc by making repeated occurrence of the text "You are a fool" from the same old classic note pad in windows.


How to implement it??
Its very easy to implement it...Just copy and paste the VB script from below and save it as "yourfilename.bat"  with .bat extension

The code::
Set wshShell = wscript.CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”)
do
wscript.sleep 100

Changing Start menu name in windows xp...Its free...!!!

Sometimes when we see the classic start menu option in the windows xx(any version),we see a 'START' label in the button of start menu,which becomes bored and monotonous after some years of using windows.But there is a way of changing the label name of the start menu button.So,let us try to experiment it.
First step:Modify the explorer.exe file using resource hacker:


We should download resource hacker,by which we can modify,edit,insert and delete .res(resource) files in windows.Download the resource hacker from here. First make a copy of explorer.exe found in c:\windows\explorer.Start resource hacker and then locate explorer.exe.We are using string table now.Expand the string 37 followed by highlighted 1033.If you are using classic layout locate the string 38.we are going to modify the item 578 labeled as start.Just double click on the start string and then modify the name excluding the label and then its half done.

Second step:Modify the registry files:


Now the name is modified,we need to do some modification  in the registry to display the final label name.Go to Start->Run->Regedit or win key+R then,follow the path..
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows NT\ CurrentVersion\ Winlogon
And in the right pane double click the shell entry to open the edit string box and in the value string data enter the name you gave to modify(Eg: pctips.exe) and then give ok and then logoff and login again or reboot the entire system and when you are back in you should now see your own customised modified start menu label in your system..Enjoy customizing...:)

Use flash block in google chrome and block the flash content

Go through the link https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/gofhjkjmkpinhpoiabjplobcaignabnl?hl=en to download flash block to your chrome browser.
What it actually does:

The extension automatically blocks flash content on webpages.
Each flash element is being replaced with a placeholder that allows you to load only selected elements on a given page. You can also manage a whitelist of allowed websites via a configuration panel.
In general, FlashBlock helps with lowering memory usage, reducing  cpu cycles, and can be used as an alternative to AdBlock.

Technical details:
To whom it may concern, FlashBlock holds flash elements from being loaded on the page level, hence requires access to the page's content (aka private data).
It works completely locally, and does not read,use,load or transmit any data, thus guarantees user privacy and safety.
The code is open-sourced and can be reviewed easily.

20 Windows Keyboard Shortcuts You Might Not Know !!

Mastering the keyboard will not only increase your navigation speed but it can also help with wrist fatigue. Here are some lesser known Windows shortcuts to help you become a keyboard ninja


Global Windows Shortcuts:
Win+1, 2, 3, 4, etc. will launch each program in your taskbar. It is helpful then to keep your most used programs at the beginning of your task bar so you can open them one right after another. This also works in Windows Vista for the quick launch icons.


Win+Alt+1, 2, 3, etc. will open the jump list for each program in the taskbar. You can then use your arrows to select which jump list option you want to open.


Win+T will cycle through taskbar programs. This is similar to just hovering over the item with your mouse but you can launch the program with Space or Enter.


Win+Home minimizes all programs except current the window. 


Win+B selects the system tray which isn’t always useful but can come in very handy if your mouse stops working.


Win+Up/Down maximizes and restores down the current window so long as that window has the option to be maximized. It is exactly the same as clicking on the middle button on your windows.


Alt+Esc is like Alt+Tab but switches windows in the order they were opened and does not have the fancy window preview overlay.


Win+Pause/Break will open your system properties window. This can be helpful if you need to see the name of a computer or simple system statistics.


Ctrl+Esc can be used to open the start menu but will not work as a Windows key replacement for other shortcuts.


Ctrl+Shift+Esc will open the task manager without needing to hit Ctrl+Alt+Del first.


Alt+Space will open the window system menu which can be used to maximize (x), minimize (n), close (c), or move (m) the window which can be especially helpful if your window is somehow off-screen. This shortcut can also be helpful with windows that don’t close with the Alt+F4 shortcut such as the command window.



Windows Explorer Shortcuts:

Here are handy shortcuts built into Windows Explorer which may have similar features in other programs too.

Alt+Up will navigate up one folder level since the up arrow on the menu bar was removed in Windows Vista. 

Shift+F10 opens the contextual or “right click” menu for a file/folder. This can be very handy for speed especially if you know which option you want to select. Look for an underlined letter in each option to know which letter you can press for faster access.


Shift+Del deletes a file without sending it to the recycle bin because who wants to empty their recycle bin anyway?

Ctrl+Shift+N creates a new folder in your current directory.

Alt+Enter opens the file properties so you can view file size, sharing settings, and creation date.

F2 renames a file or folder.

F3 will open explorer and select the search bar. If you already have an explorer window open it will highlight the search bar. In some programs it will also open the search dialog to search within that program.

F6 cycles objects in the current window. In explorer this will cycle between the location bar, options bar, left pane, and right pane. It also works with varying success in other programs.

F10 toggles the file menu in explorer.

Intel Core i7 CPU Review

The Intel core i7 cpu's are some of the strongest chips that have already come down the pipe thus far. These are chips for the serious multi-tasker. These are CPU's for the hardcore gamer, the video editor, the music producer and anybody else that wants a lot of power going to numerous distinctive processes.

You might be gaming in vast 3D land scapes or making use of Maya to sculpt your own, it doesn't matter, the i7 can deal with it. I have a pair of core i7 personal computers  I use. I game with one, and do my video and audio work on the other. So I can say with some certainty that these processors can deal with pretty significantly anything that's thrown at them.

Here are some impressive specs:

Processor Number Cache clock speed Bus Speed Number of Cores

i7-970 12 MB SmartCache 3.2 GHz 4.8 GT/s QPI 6
i7-960 8 MB SmartCache 3.2 GHz 4.8 GT/s QPI 4
i7-950 8 MB SmartCache 3.06 GHz 4.8 GT/s QPI 4
i7-860 8 MB SmartCache 2.8 GHz 2.5 GT/s DMI 4

I have a system with core i7 cpu's now, and I have to say they are brilliant. I used to run on duel cores, and I thought they were fantastic, but the i7 just knocked them flat. I wont try and say it cut my waiting time in half, but I certain noticed the difference in a large way. Actually the biggest difference you'll notice whenever you upgrade is the difference whenever you are running quite a few tasks at once.
I keep in mind the first time I tried to lagg it on purpose. I ran my video editing software, audio editing software and a video converter all at once. Normally I would get noticable lagg, and perhaps even have to shut some thing down. Not anymore. The i7 was able to maintain up with every thing quite well.
As for gaming I tend to run WoW, along with a few other games, mainly 1 I definitely enjoy called 9Dragons. I wasn't able to set lots of of my games past medium, or even low, on a number of of the a lot more intense choices. With my core i7 computers, along with a graphics card update, I can run every thing at top performance levels and not worry at all about lagg. Too sweet for words.

If a new personal pc is inside the cards for you, and you aren't certain yet what to look for, I would suggest a new core i7 computer. Anybody who plans to do any sort of intenst activity with their new system will need to seriously take into account the i7, particularly if you are going to be using numerous programs at once. When you need power, you would like the top, and at the moment the extremely most effective CPU you can get is an intel core i7.
