Automaticaly Lock-Out you computer if idle for 'X' minutes

Most of the cellphones now-a-days have this kind of feature by default activated.I felt it very secured , so searched the same for my laptop and as expected windows have included this feature inbuilt.

Goto Screensaver menu and watch-out there is a option of

"on resume,display logon screen"

Select the screensaver you want, then check the box to display the login screen when you exit the screen saver.  Enter the number of minutes you want to wait before your screensaver starts, then click Ok to save your settings.

Now, after the length of time you selected, you’ll see your screensaver as normal.
Then, when you move the mouse or press a key, you’ll see the normal login screen instead of your desktop.  Enter your password and login as normal to access your computer.

If you’re not fond of screensavers, you can lock your computer when you’re away without turning on the screensaver.  Just select None from the screensaver list, then check the box as before.  Now your computer will automatically switch to the Login screen whenever your computer is left for the amount of time you selected.

How to limit the no of chances to enter the password at a time in windows PC ?

Hey guys one day or other there would be a blatant attempt to guess your PC-password in your absence which generally goes unobtrusive by you.By default N no. of attempts can be made to guess the password but as an user you don't want the same. And as usual windows have provided an option to customize it by limiting the attempts to enter the password.

After entering specified no. of wrong passwords(decided by you) the system will lock temporarily for the specified time(again decided for you).For such configuration, follow the steps=>

1.)Open cmd with administrative rights(right click cmd icon and click run as administrator)

2.)     net accounts /lockoutthreshold:3

This command sets the attempt limits to 3.After attempting 3 wrong passwords the system will lock-out.You may set the no accordingly and do ensure to set this as 1 or more.

2.)Now, you need to set how long the account will be locked when the password is entered incorrectly.  Enter the following, again choosing any option over 1.  I set my computer to lock for 30 minutes, but you can choose less or more, depending on your needs.

net accounts /lockoutduration:30


3.)Then enter the following to choose how long to wait before the incorrect login count is reset. It is highly recommend to enter the same number you used for the lockout duration.

net accounts /lockoutwindow:30

 Now log-off and enter wrong passwords 5 times .you will get the follwing message :

"The referenced account is currently locked out and may not be logged on to" and you system will lock-out for 45 minutes.

How to download facebook videos ?

Hey guys,

Facebook has stated in its Video FAQ that "Users will not be able to export or download videos from Facebook." But There are ways to prove them wrong,two of them are as follows :

1.)Using a Mozilla Firefox Add-on named "facebook video" =>

*This addon allows Facebook users to share personal videos with their friends outside of Facebook. This adds features that Facebook refuses to implement.The download, convert video, and customize code links are added to Facebook video pages in an unobtrusive way.

*Also embed code for the video is provided .

*The download link is a direct link to the video file.

*The convert link leads to Zamzar.com where a user can convert the video to several formats and receive a link in an email to download the converted version.

*The customize code link opens a dialog to change the resolution of the embed code. Once the user selects "Update" the embed code in the box is changed to reflect the users preferences and the video will also be replaced so that they can view the immediate result of their changes.

**Links will appear on video pages to the right of the video.

 2.) Neatest way is the website => www.downloadfacebookvideo.net

Add a context menu search search option in firefox !

hey guys uptill now, to search something on a search engine either we open the site directly and type over there or we write in the search toolbar.But there is a firefox plugin named "CONTEXT SEARCH" which expands the context menu's 'Search for' item into a list of installed search engines, allowing you to choose the engine you want to use for each search.It allow you to select text on the page, and then search using any number of search engines via the context menu.

Once you’ve installed the Context Menu Search extension, you can start selecting text on the page, and search using the built-in search engines

Search engines can be added or reordered in Firefox's Search Toolbar ("Manage Search Engines").

Once the search engine menu is visible:
- Left click to search in a new background tab.
- Middle click to search in a new tab and switch to that tab immediately.
- Ctrl+click to search in a new tab and switch to that tab immediately.

If you have Firefox set to switch to new tabs immediately, the above key combinations will have the inverse effect.

Shift + click opens search results in a new window.

How to Use Multiple Logins for Gmail,facebook etc ?

Hey guys,if you have multiple logins for web based e-mail accounts (like Gmail and Yahoo! mail), then CookieSwap enables you to easily switch between those different user accounts by swapping the 'cookies' that the sites use to know your identity.CookieSwap is a firefox add-on.

Note: When swapping profiles with CookieSwap, the cookies in all tabs and all browser windows are changed at the same time. This means that your web login to sites like gmail will change in all the tabs at once.

CookieSwap is an extension that enables you to maintain numerous sets or 'profiles' of cookies that you can quickly swap between while browsing. This is useful for tasks like:

* Changing your cookies/identity to web e-mail sites (like Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, etc) so that you can quickly look like different users. Nice if you maintain multiple accounts and are tired of logging out and then back in to switch accounts. Also nice if two people are using the same computer and want to switch between accounts quickly.

* Changing your cookies/identity to see how sites like Amazon and Google treat you differently depending on who you are. For example, if Amazon recognizes you as a returning shopper they give you a different looking page (and there were claims that they give you different prices also). Google has begun to use a feature called 'Personalized Search', where they modify their search results based on your user identity. There is a question about this when you create your Google account. The results of Google searches are different depending on if Google knows you or not. Use CookieSwap to quickly swap between Google recognizing you and being anonymous. Run the same search and see the differences.

* If you design web sites, you can setup numerous cookie profiles to look like different types of users and swap between those users quickly and easily to test your site in numerous modes (you can hand edit the cookies to have distinct values in each profile using a nice extension like 'Add & Edit Cookies').

Here is an example to show how this extension works:
1)Right click on the CookieSwap area of the Status Bar Panel (lower right corner of the browser) to bring up the CookieSwap menu. Select a profile (let's say 'Profile1')
2)Go to a web e-mail site (like www.gmail.com) and login
3)Bring up the CookieSwap menu again and select a different profile (let's say 'Profile2')
4)Again go to the web e-mail's main page. Note: Don't click on a link in the current open page. Instead, hand type the URL...like www.gmail.com, or use a bookmarked entry for the site.
5)Notice the site doesn't recognize you as the previous user. Login with a different username if you want.
6)Use the CookieSwap menu to go back to Profile1 and again surf to the web e-mail's main page. It recognizes you again as the original user that logged in!

Now you can easily look like multiple different people on the web.

This extension adds no additional security risks because it does not store any passwords directly. It is no different than making multiple copies of the cookies.txt file that is already generated by Firefox.

Reopen all the Opened Applications after Reboot Automatically

One of the things that bug the most is the windows software upgrade or the patch installation after which I am supposed to reboot the computer when I am middle of some important work. What do you do in that case, close all the apps, restart the system and open all of them again?

 CacheMyWork is a handy utility that enables you to reboot Windows without losing your place in your work. It builds a checklist of currently open applications, and will restart the apps you've selected the next time you logon to the computer.
Cache My Work is great for occasions when you need to unexpectedly reboot, such as on "Patch Tuesday", after installing new drivers, or when Windows runs out of Desktop Heap, Handles or GDI Objects (which happens more often than I'd like - even with the fixes described here).

If you're like me, you avoid rebooting your computer because it means you'll forget what you were working on. Every time I have to reboot because of some install/uninstall/patch, invariably I forget half of what I was working on because I don't remember all the docs and apps I have to reopen (those 5-15 minutes between "shutdown all apps" and "logged in, Windows quieted down" are huge opportunities for me to be randomized and lose my short-term memory cache).

Making your own Cross Cable

Hey guys,
In my last article i explained you the importance of CROSS LAN CABLE.A good learner like to learn each and everything in it's way as i do.Here i will explain you how to make up your own cross cable. 

You may make up your own Cross-Ethernet cable either by modifying the older one or buy uncramped ethernet wire which is easily available in market for approximately Rs.10 per mtr.

REQUIREMENTS : cat-5 ethernet cable ( or you can say network cable ),Connectors (namely-RJ-45,these connect the wire to lan ports in computer,RJ means registered jack ),Crimping tool(which helps connecting wire to the RJ-45,available for around 130-250 inr)

Now let us begin ==>

< 1 >Unroll the required length of network cable and add a little extra wire.

< 2 >Carefully remove the outer jacket of the cable.The cable contains 8 sub wires of different colors.

Orange White
Orange
Blue White
Green
Green White
Blue
Brown White
Brown



< 3 >Arrange these wires by the follwing configration :

< 4 > General Color Pattern is as follows :

< 5 > After arranging them you just have to clamp them once with the help of clamper.Note a Connector(RJ-45) cannot be reused if once clamped.

Transfer data between two Laptops using a lan wire

Hi guys,
I was hunting for this way for many days and finally i found it.You must be sharing GB's of data with your friends everyday as i do , but the way is different.You copy the same data twice but i copy it just once.Actually i connect my laptop and my friend's laptop directly and then copy paste between them instead of using some pendrive or external hard-disk.We will use a ethernet wire to connect two laptops.This ethernet wire is none another than the wire we use to connect our internet-modem with laptop,but with some different configuration.The wire we use with modem is a straight-ethernet cable,

but we need a "CROSS-ETHERNET CABLE" here. You may get this wire from local vendors in a range of 30-60 INR.There are further many types and qualities of these type of wires, but CAT-5 (category-5)type is sufficient in our case.Now let's begin ==>

<<  For FIRST COMPUTER  >>

< 1 > After Connecting two laptops with the Cross wire . We just have to assign ip-address of same network range.

< 2 > Open RUN(press window button with "r").type ncpa.cpl and press enter.You will see a window containing your network connections

< 3 >Select LOCAL AREA CONNECTION. and right click on it Then click on properties.

< 4 > dOUBLE Click on INTERNET PROTOCOL VERSION 4(TCP/IPV4)

< 5 >A window for internet protocol version 4 properties will pop up. Then fill the follwing details in it.

< 6 > Then press ok and then go to second computer.

<<  for SECOND COMPUTER >>

 < 7 > repeat the above steps and just change the ip address from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.3 in step.5.Then press ok.

< 8 >Like if you want to transfer a folder from first computer to second.then right click on that folder.And Share it with all the permissions to all users ie EVERYONE.like in this example the folder's name is NEW FOLDER present on desktop.

< 9 >Most Important Turn OFF the FIREWALL.(open run type firewall.cpl , then turn it off)

< 10 >Now go to second computer . Open run over there and type "\\192.168.1.2" which is the ip address of first computer.

< 11 >On pressing enter it may ask for username and password.Enter the same you have in first computer(put it on if you don't have password over there else all this is not possible)

< 12 >You are done . Now You can copy paste from first computer as if it is within your computer .

< 13 >To transfer data from second computer to first computer. Use The Above Steps Accordingly.

 Soon i will post a article for making your own Cross Cable !

Pictorial View(MAPPING) of your Hard Disk !

Hey guys, many times almost all of us reach at a point when we think " WHERE THE HELL OUR HARD DISK HAS CONSUMED "And then in that situation we start stumbling our hard disk in search of the BIG-Space eaters. The unnecessary space could be occupied by temp memory,by os(stupid one),by some silly programs,by mistake with us,or someone may have hide something in your system(which can be detected this way if it has a large size) Finding the target in such a case is not very easy for everyone as it is a time consuming process .If you are one of them , then you must use this tool named " WINDIRSTAT "  This tool maps your hard disk and present to you in pictorial views and provides a option to manage it from there only(like to delete it)..


< 1 > Depending upon the size of hard disk it takes some time initially,so be patient.After it is done with the processing you wolud see three panels over there as follows :

< 2 > In the left panel you can view the
 directory view with all it's details like space occupied,attributes,last modified date,subfiles etc.all the directories there are sorted in Descending order.

< 3>In the bottom panel you can view the physical storage of hard disk( Colored Rectangles represent files of some specific type whose details are given in Right panel).

< 4 > In right panel you can view details of specific type of file. like if you want to find out how much space is occupied by songs and movies, then search for the filetypes like avi,wmv,mpeg,3gp etc.

< 5 > To delete any directory, right click on it .(Very Useful)

How to Disable the Welcome screen in Softwares(like word,adobe)

Guys,you must have noticed the Some Screens(mostly it is a image for software's logo) that come up when we start an application and before the program is fully loaded.Sometimes these Screens are referred as welcome screens but technically theses screens are called Splash Screen.Like of Microsoft Word as follows:

It is fine for most of the people but quite irritating for few, so if it is the same for you then you can disable or hide the Splash Screens after running the application.A tool called < SplashKiller > lets you hide those splash screens that appear when an application is loading.
 
There may be some splash screens that SplashKiller doesn't hide, and there might possibly be some windows that aren't splash screens that SplashKiller will hide by accident.The tool is quite easy to use and require no installation.Just download the tool and double click it to run it. To add up an application, click the add button and browse for the exe file of the program as shown in the Snapshot.

( CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD SPLASHKILLER )

HOW TO USE :

1) Run the SplashKillerRunner.exe.
2) Run something you know has a splash screen (Nearly everything).
3) Hopefully SplashKiller should spot the splash screen and hide it. 

How to Resize a Non-Resizable Window or Dialog Box

Hey guys,
Generally this tool is not of much use for a general user,rarely they will need it.Actually this tool resizes some of those windows which one can not resize by default,like properties of some folder,task bar settings,firefox tools etc.But This is of great use for the users who runs their pc at a screen resolution above 1280x1024,and have fed up with having to pick items from a list that could only display three items because the window didn't take into account the screen resolution, hence only occupying about 20% of the desktop 'real-estate'.


The software is ResizeEnable .The tool will work fine most of the time but there may be windows that do not respond to this tool.This tool requires no installation and can be run directly from the exe file. Just run the file and see your mouse convert into an arrow pointer.

( Click Here To Download  ResizeEnable )

After Downloading the software just double click the ResizeEnableRunner.Now navigate to the window you have to resize , and you may note the changes.


It can be used for one more purpose.For instance, if you want to take the snapshot of the window then just resizing is a better option than to scaling the image later on.

Security Measure in Mozilla Firefox

Earlier i told you guys how to steel stored passwords in mozilla firefox(Click here to read more).From the day i got to know about this stupid feature of firefox,i was hunting for some protective measure and the one i got is very obvious.They people themselves provide the option to set a master password to all the passwords you store . The master password can be configured as follows =>

goto TOOLS>>OPTIONS , and click on USE MASTER PASSWORD.then a window will pop-up where you can enter your password.

After configuring the master password,the firefox will prompt to enter the password each time you try to access those saved passwords that means you need it when u login somewhere using saved passwords or you try to see the saved passwords(as described in earlier posts).So in this way you may protect yourself from your closed ones.

SNAPSHOTS :

<1>
In the following snapshot i have enabled the master password and when i am trying to see the saved passwords it first prompts for the master password.

<2>
In the following i have saved my yahoo password password earlier and had closed it.Then i opened the firefox again and when i tried to login using saved password , firefox promted to enter the master password.

Customise keyboard shortcuts using windows in built feature !

In my earlier posts i have mentioned the list of default keyboard shortcuts in windows(click here to view),and told about a software named WINKEY(click here to learn more about the software) which will create your custom keyboard shortcuts.The software can build the shortcuts for both an application or for some specifc folder path.The trick i am going to explain, can create keyboard shortcut only for applications . But still this trick is very handy as it can be used without software in couple of minutes.Now let us do it !



STEP-1 ]
Browse to the application's "dot EXE" file (which opens the software when double clicked) , you can browse to it directly from hard disk(the place it is installed , which is by default c:/ProgramFiles) or go to START -> ALL PROGRAMS and then browse to the application's EXE file (which opens the software when double clicked). I am taking mozilla firefox as an example.

STEP -2 ] A window will pop-up like as follows :

Click on Shortcut tab in the top. Then press your desired key-combination under "shortcut key" area.click on apply to save it.You can change the way of opening of application which can be maximized or minimized also.
