Find who is Invisible on Yahoo messenger


Sometimes some of your friends who appear offline in yahoo messenger may not be actually offline, they may in the 'Invisible' mode. This maybe if they are trying to ignore you or are too busy to talk to anyone.

There is this small trick that you can use to find out what the truth is.

Firstly open your yahoo messenger main window and double click on the name of the person whom you want to check. The chat window will open obviously.
Click IMVironment button, select See all IMVironments, select Yahoo! Tools or Interactive Fun, and click on Doodle.
After loading the Doodle imvironment there can be two possibilities

1.If the user is offline Doodle are will show this "waiting for your friend to load Doodle" continuously .See in the picture below:
2. If the user is online (but in invisible mode), after few seconds (it can take up to one minute, depending on your connection speed), you should get a blank page like in the picture below. So you know that the user is online.

Folder Options Missing.....

Many of us sometimes find the folder options missing in windows explorer due to some virus or trojan effect.

Here's the solution
 
Open Run and then type "gpedit.msc".
 
Now goto User Configuration > Administrative templates > Windows Component > Windows Explorer.
 
Click on Windows Explorer you will find the 3rd option on the right side of screen 
"Removes the Folder Option menu item from the Tools menu"
 
Just check it, if it is not configured then change it to enable by double clicking on it and after applying again set it to not configured.

I hopes that you will find the option after restarting windows..

SPEED UP ACROBAT READER (ALMOST LIKE NOTEPAD)

Adobe Acrobat reader always consumes more memory when it starts. 
The reason behind is, it loads all the plugins, even the plugins that you do not use. 
This trick is to remove all the plugins from the plugins directory to elsewhere. 
Hence, whenever you open Acrobat reader it directly opens the files without loading any plugins and the speed is just like Notepad.
 
1. Go to the installation folder of acrobat reader
(C:\program files\adobe\acrobat\reader\.. whatever)

2. Move all the files and folders from the "plugins" directory to the "Optional" directory. (I repeat.. cut and paste the files NOT copy & paste).

Also make sure that acrobat reader is not open else it will lock the files and not allow you to move the files).

Now your acrobat reader will load very fast and almost as good as notepad.

Hide Files or Folders Using Command Prompt

Trick to hide files and folders using Command Prompt

The most important thing is that, once hidden with this method, the files/folders cannot be viewed by any search options even if you click "Show All Hidden Files and Folders".

Hiding the most wanted files and folders is very important nowadays and it's really a tedious job too. In order to make this tedious job an easy one.

For Example: You have a folder named "Business_Docs" and this folder is stored in (Disk Drive E). You think that it should not be seen by strangers who use your PC.

For that you need to follow the following instructions

  1. Press windowkey+R: Run command dialog box appears.
  2. Now type "cmd" and hit enter. A command prompt window displays.
  3. Now type "attrib +s +h E:\Business_Docs" and hit enter.
  4. The folder "Business_Docs" will be hidden. (Note: It cannot be viewed by any search options)

    (To view this folder again, use the same command but replace '+' with '-' on both flags 's' and 'h')

Removing autorun.inf virus


Removing autorun.inf virus

sometimes ur drives get infected with viruses which dnt let u open that file, 
or simply scramble up ur right click context menu.
so why use any anti virus when u can remove it urself??

so, make a search for autorun.inf file, and include hidden files and 

system file in it.as soon as u get the file, SHIFT+DELETE.
now relogin.ur dives will get open.
u can also enable the "show hidden files" options from folder options menu, 

but sometimes that virus disables this feature too. so for this, u can go to DOS, 
and type-
C:>\DIR/AH


this will show u ur hidden files, now mesmerize the names to delete, 

delete that autorun.inf file and other unwanted files with DEL command, and relogin.

i'll be posting the registry entry which control the view of hidden file.
try this until then or mail me if any problem
