Do you know ?

There is an interesting fact about Headphones i.e. they can also be used as a microphone !
Technically :
There is not much difference between the circuits of a Microphone and a Headphone , just the headphone is designed to spread voice and an microphone to capture the voice !

Working :
So if you connect the headphone in the microphone slot of your computer, you could use it as a microphone.
Just speak in the ear buds of the microphone, but please speak a bit loudly to be audible at the other end !

Many a times we require a FOLDER too often, like to store our Multimedia files and all !!!
No no need to access the folder and carry out the traditional COPY & PASTE !!!

Just add it too “SEND TO” !!!

Do as follows :

** Open any FOLDER.
** Then, TOOLS >> Folder Options
** Click view TAB.
** In LIST of Advance Settings, click Show hidden files and folders !
** Now, go to C:\Documents and Settings

Sometimes we are eager to hide some files on the system !!!
(I won’t ask Why ???)

http://www.iprefher.com/
So, now i have got a trick to hide files in image files !!!

Here it is :

** You require WinRAR installed on your PC for this trick.
** First add your files to .rar and i.e. say files.rar
** Say you have a image as img.jpg
** Now, save files.rar and img.jpg in c:\ drive.
** Click start >> Run
** Type cmd
** Now in command prompt type cd..
** Again type cd..
** Type copy /b img.jpg + files.rar new.jpg

————– Please Note ————–

>> This command will concatenate the two files into the new file new.jpg
>> Don’t type files.rar + img.jpg instead of img.jpg + files.rar.
>> Now, (size of new.jpg) = (size of img.jpg) + (size of files.rar) .

————————–-—————-

*** Mission Accomplished !!! ***

Now, we have new.jpg consisting of both img.jpg and files.rar .

Accessing the files :

** Double click new.jpg and img.jpg can be viewed.

** Now, to access files.rar :
# Right click on new.jpg >> Select Open With >> Choose Program…
# Select WinRAR archiver.
# Now, simply Extract your files !

Working through cmd prompt is not easy with long paths and folder names.

This trick provides a solution !!!

What can be done :

** Now, the files in that folder can easily be operated.

How to do it :
** Open any folder.
** Tools >> Folder Options…
** Change to File Types
** Select Folder from the list.
** Click Advanced button.
** Now, click New
** Type Command Prompt in Action
** Type cmd.exe in Application used to perform action:
** Now, click OK and Apply

That’s All !!!

Above 90% computers all over the world run Windows… and hence another computer trick.

FACT
But do you know that about 20% of your internet bandwidth is reserved by Microsoft.
———————————————————————————————————
Uses of Reserved Bandwidth
** Windows Automatic Updates rely on this reserved bandwidth.
** Fast loading Microsoft Websites
** Sending Error Reports
** Online Help support in Microsoft Office
———————————————————————————————————
But this can be recovered back…
———————————————————————————————————
The Remedy
** Start >> Run
** Type gpedit.msc
** This opens the Policy Editor
** Now, Local Computer Policy >> Computer Configuration
** Then, Administrative Templates >> Network
** Now, click on QOS Packet Scheduler
** Now, on Right hand side
** Double Click Limit reservable bandwidth
** Now in Setting Tab

********************* NOTE **********************It says : Not Configured
Reality : The Explain Tab says “By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection”

***************************************************
** So, on Setting Tab select Enabled
** Now, change Bandwidth limit (%) to 0 (Zero)
********************** NOTE ********************Misconcept : This don’t means that you won’t be able to communicate with Microsoft or any its services !!!
Actually : This reserved Bandwidth is only to accelerate Microsoft internet connections more than other connections !!!

****************************************************
** Click OK !!!

That’s All !!!
