Internet Tricks

Orkut tricks :
Hide orkut photo albums from your friends(Latest)
f you think that you have only two album sharing options –
“share photos with friends“, “share with everyone” with your Orkut photo albums, you are wrong.
You can move a step ahead to restrict anyone including your friends from viewing your photos.
This will act like your private photo storage space on Orkut, lolz. All you have to do is some basic album properties configuration and that’s it.
None of your friends or anyone will be able to see photos from your albums.
To hide Orkut photo albums from your friends, follow these below steps.
1. Login to your Orkut profile.
2. From your profile, navigate to Settings >> Privacy >> Scroll down below to find album settings.
3. If you have many photo albums and want to hide few ones only, click on the drop down menu next to Albums and select “Choose per album” option.
4. Now from the below albums list, select one album and click on Edit link associated with that album.
5. A new window will pop up asking you to select photo sharing permissions for that album.
6. Delete all friends, groups, contacts from the right hand side menu and make it accessible by no one.
7. You are done.
You can repeat step 4 and 5 to hide more photo albums from your friends.
This will not delete any of your photos or albums, they will remain safe.
It’s just that no one can see those photos.
And yes, you will be having access to those photos and can change the settings to allow friends or anyone to view your album photos again by following above steps.

View enlarged photos:

By default Orkut shows a fixed sized image to all it’s users.
Few times they are not visible well.
And also, if you want to save a image, you will be able to download that scaled image.
So, you need to enlarge orkut photos to see it either in a better quality or to save it.
Here we will use a javascript code and it will enlarge orkut pics.
Simply copy the below javascript and paste that in your browser’s address bar.
javascript:i=128;void(setInterval(”i++;document.images[2].width=i”,5))
Once you use this javascript, all pictures in that Orkut page will get enlarged.
They will be more sharp and clear. Now either view them or save them, it all depends on YOU!

Safely browse web in anonymous way :

It's very annoying when Governments and school/office administrations decide on their own what is right to view on the cyberspace and what is not. This is a free world. Let us decide that for ourselves.

Ok, I know, enough o this crap. Here's the good stuff. Presenting, Freegate, a software that will help you surf all that is blocked. I found this software when I had to surf orkut ( which by the way my country thinks is a source of immorality and is hence blocked), and used the anonymous web surfing software that I usually use. But for some weird reason , it doesn't work anymore at my place. So, presenting Freegate, that will join our elite league of anonymous Web surfing software. Surf blocked sites, without any pain..

Speed up your broad band speed :
1) Goto http://www.testmy.net/ and click on Download Speed Test, and then on Smart Test....(and while conducting this test, don't forget to close all Instant Messagers, and there should be no other web activity, other than the test)
2) Note down the speeds. Now, lets see, what all changes to be made..... This tip is designed for increased BROADBAND speed in Windows XP while using standard Network Interface cards (NIC) that are connected to ADSL modems, or when using any directly-connected USB ADSL modem. To speed up the Internet connection speed we need to configure a special buffer in the computer's memory in order to enable it to better deal with interrupts made from the NIC or the USB modem. This tip is only recommended if you have 256MB RAM or higher.

Step #1 - Identify the IRQ used by the NIC/USB modem
1. Open the System Information tool by running MSINFO32.EXE from the Run command.
2. Expand System Summary > Hardware Resources > IRQs.
3. Look for the listing made for your NIC (in my case - a Intel® PRO/100+ Management Adapter). Note the IRQ next to the specified line (in my case - IRQ21).
In case of USB modems you will first need to find the right USB device used by your modem. Follow these steps:
1. Open the Device Manager tool by running DEVMGMT.MSC from the Run command (or by right-clicking My Computer > Hardware tab > Device Manager button).
2. Scroll down to Universal Serial Bus controllers and expand it.
3. Right-click the USB Root Hub and select Properties. Note that you might need to do so for all listed USB Root hubs (if there are more than one) in order to find the right one.
4. In the Power tab, look for your USB ADSL modem.
5. In the Resources tab look for the assigned IRQ (in this case - IRQ21).
6. This is the IRQ we're looking for.
Note: IRQs and modem names might vary...

Step #2 - Modify the system.ini file
1. Run SYSEDIT.EXE from the Run command.
2. Expand the system.ini file window.
3. Scroll down almost to the end of the file till you find a line called [386enh].
4. Press Enter to make one blank line, and in that line type IRQX=4096 where X is the designated IRQ number we found in step #1, in my case it's IRQ21.
Note: This line IS CASE SENSITIVE!!!
5. Click on the File menu, then choose Save.
6. Close SYSEDIT and reboot your computer. Done.
Speed improvement will be noticed after the computer rebots.

PC Tricks

Disable Auto Run of USB to avoid virus :

Nowwadays, there is a new problem that is cropping up in almost all schools,colleges, hostels etc. where the malicious Autorun Virus is Creating Havoc by spreading to Laptops and PC through USB Drives etc.
How to Stop the Autorun PC Virus Infection ?
The free 'Panda USB Vaccine' allows users to vaccinate their PCs in order to disable Autorun completely so that no program from any USB/CD/DVD drive (regardless of whether they have been previously vaccinated or not) can auto-execute. This is a really helpful feature as there is no user friendly and easy way of completely disabling Autorun on a Windows PC.
Panda USB Vaccine is a 100% free utility. Its tested under Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP SP1-SP3, and Windows Vista SP0 and SP1.

Increase hard disk speed in windows :
f you like to increase/optimize your Hard Disk I/O - read/write speed without buying expensive software utilities to do that job or changing the HD, just follow next steps. With doing these steps you will increase Hard disk speed (depends of manufacture and specification, but its worth to try). The most speed improvement is visible with IDE drives; however there are reports that this tweak also does good for SCSI disks.
In any case, it won't harm your system, so try it yourself and let me know what you find!
Steps:
1. Run SYSEDIT.EXE from the start & then Run command.
2. Expand the system.ini file window.
3. Scroll down almost to the end of the file untill you find a line called [386enh].
4. Press Enter to make one blank line, and in that line type
5. Irq14=4096 (note: This line IS CASE SENSITIVE)
6. Click on the File menu, then choose Save.
7. Close SYSEDIT and reboot your computer.
8. Restart windows!
The speed improvement will be noticed just after the system reboots, any system info. software can be used to check the improvement.

Disable Windows xp logo during system boot :
It is possible to disable the XP splash screen, which will slightly speed up the overall boot process.
Be aware that removing the splash screen will also cause you not to see any boot-up messages that might come up (chkdsk, convert � ),
but if your system runs without any problems then it should not matter.
Edit boot.ini
Add � /noguiboot� right after �/fastdetect�.
Upon restarting, the splash screen will be gone. It can be re-enabled by removing the new switch

Shut down windows xp at fastest speed:
You can make your shut down process a bit faster by the following tweak. Steps: (Download the registry file in your PC.)
1. This step is very important.
Export (right click > Export) the following keys and save it to a safer place.
HKEY CURRENT USER\Control Panel\Desktop
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control

2. Open Notepad, copy and paste the following to the Notepad.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"AutoEndTasks"="1"
"HungAppTimeout"="1000"
"WaitToKillAppTimeout"="2000"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control]
"WaitToKillServiceTimeout"="2000"

3. Save the file and close Notepad.

4. Change extension of the file from .txt (text file) to .reg (registry file).

5. Double click open this file and click Yes and the OK .
