Bypass compulsory registration

BugMeNot is an internet service that provides usernames and passwords to let Internet users bypass mandatory free registration on websites. Now you guys can freely copy the username and passwords from here and use any site. Unfortunately you can't find free accounts for websites such as Facebook, Orkut, Yahoo, BugMeNot doesn't allow users to submit the passwords of the sites which can be used for fraud purposes. Users can add new accounts for sites with free registration. However, it does not allow them to add accounts for pay websites, as this could potentially put BugMeNot in legal trouble. BugMeNot also claims to remove accounts for any web site that requests that they do not provide accounts for non-registered users.

Vista matching stylish folder

Have you ever noticed that the new folder you make comes with a old ugly yellowish look, but the inbuilt icons in home directory hae a very stylish green look. And you must have tried to change the icon to suit match with other folder but ultimately no success. Because, when changing icons the vista by default takes you to the old icons directory to choose.

But you know you can change the icons of your new folder and can have that new and greenish folder.

To do this go to folder's properties by right clicking on the folder. Then go to customize tab click 'change icon'.This will open up the icon changing tool.

Now the actual trick begins, you can see the address written there like this:
%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll
change the 'shell32.dll' to 'imageres.dll' and press enter to update the icons. Now in the list go to the extreme right and there you will find those vista icons. Choose whatever you want.

If you want to switch back t0 yellow folders just do the same thing with shell32.dll or click 'restore defaults'

Delete particular url from IE history

This is a simple trick I think most of us know but it may sound good for newbies or whoever don't have a idea about this trick. No need to delete complete history and type repeated url s again next time just for the sake of removing specific URL .

Go to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs

in the right pane you'll see the urls .. jus delete the one which you don't want to appear again in IE add bar.

Note::

Use registry editor carefully. Make a back up of the registry before carrying out any tweaks.

i want to hide my files in an image


So, even you want to hide your files, but with some extra privacy. This method will hide your files in an image. Though the image will look the same but its size will increase to the size of your files.
 
 1. Gather the file you wish to bind, and the image file, and place them in a folder. For the sake of this demonstration, I will be using C:\New Folder
-The image will hereby be referred to in all examples as fluffy.jpg
-The file will hereby be referred to in all examples as New Text Document.txt

2. Add the file/files you will be injecting into the image into a WinRar .rar or .zip. From here on this will be referred to as (secret.rar)

3. Open command prompt by going to Start > Run > cmd

4. In Command Prompt, navigate to the folder where your two files are by typing
cd location [ex: cd C:\New Folder][see cmd tutorial for more details on how to use cmd]

5. Type [copy /b fluffy.jpg + secret.rar fluffy.jpg] (I ahve used brackets to differentiate the texts, don't use brackets)

Congrats, as far as anyone viewing is concerned, this file looks like a JPEG, acts like a JPEG, and is a JPEG, yet it now contains your file.

In order to view/extract your file, there are two options that you can take

a) Change the file extension from fluffy.jpg to fluffy.rar, then open and your file is there.
b) Leave the file extension as is, right click, open with WinRar and your file is there.

TRICKS to Recover the lost administrator's password

Slightly more work needed if you lose or forget the Windows XP administrator password.

1.First reboot Windows XP in safe mode by re-starting the computer and pressing F8 repeated as the computer starts up.

2.Then (in safe mode) click Start and then click Run. In the open box type "control userpasswords2" without the quotes - I have just used quotes to differentiate what you have to type.

3.You will now have access to all the user accounts, including the administrators account and will be able to reset the lost password.

4.Just click the administrators user account, and then click Reset Password.

5.You will need to add a new password in the New password and the Confirm new password boxes, and confirm by clicking OK.All done, you have recovered the lost adminitrators password!
