How to Open-Eject-Close CD-DVD Tray Easily using your Mouse


I blogged about this topic as once one of my friend Rahul had a problem wherein the eject/close button of his CD/DVD drive stopped working so he had no option rather to push the cd tray every time to close it and for opening  it , he used the eject option available on right click menu in Windows XP and Vista .
Eject CD DVD Tray
But , to close his CD/DVD tray he still had to use the physical push method, but you guys do not have to worry about same just download the following utility double click on the closetray.reg file , it will automatically add the close tray option to your right click menu of your DVD drive
You  also need to download
nircmd.exe
from
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html
and put into windows directory, for the above registry hack to work .


Download – closetray.zip

Also you can try this Freeware software that does the same , but it opens in a separate window and you don’t get that ease of right click menu.

Read Deleted SMS Messages from any Nokia Symbian Mobile

So, you accidentally deleted the message that you enjoyed the most or was a message from special someone and now you are feeling sorry, well time to be alittle techie and get back your message, we cannot restore it back into your sms inbox but yes you can atleast see it and copy it down somewhere.
Requirements: Fexplorer Symbian Device file manager software which you can download from  here, After downloading it transfer it to your mobile and install it.
Now follow these steps,


Open Fexplorer in your mobile.
Select drive C: or D: depending on the memory in which the Sms messages have been saved.
For example you selected c:, Then open "system" folder.
Then in "system" folder open "mail" folder.
Then in this folder you will see different folders (eg 0010001_s) and certain files (eg 00100000). These files are the actual messages. Browse through every folder and open all files till you get the sms you are looking for.
For opening the files don’t choose options>file>open as it will show format not supported rather choose options>file>hex/text viewer. By selecting the "Hex/ text viewer" you’ll be able to open and read the deleted SMS message.
Hope this helped you and saved you from the unnecessary trouble.

Skipping Boring Navigation Messages to Talk Directly to Customer Care on a IVR


Whenever we dial some customer care or enquiry number we are greeted with long and boring series of navigational commands “Press1 to do this, 2 to do that and more. .. “ , now if you are a regular caller that hurts but with some clever use of DTMF tones signals knowledge we can trick the IVRs machine and can quickly navigate to wherever we wish inside a menu .image


Suppose You have to dial 131 for train enquiry which asks you further to press 2,3,1 to reach to the specific menu, then to automate this sequence  131 –> 2>3>1  we can use the (*) key on the mobile phone keypad to generate ‘p’ symbols (On Nokia sets  repeatedly press * to get a ‘p’ symbol  , while on Sony Ericsson keep the * key pressed to get a ‘p’ )
image
So now, just dial 131p2p3p1 for the above sequence of dialling 131 and then entering 2>3>1 to reach the menu without listening to all that gibberish .
Hope this makes you tech life easier and faster .

How to Listen/View Audio or Video File While Still Downloading It – Works for Torrents Too


Downloading MP3 or Video files is what most of us do on the internet, but it feels real bad when the audio or video file we downloaded for about an hour turns out to be bad, skippy or something else . Now that would sure make you hit your head hard on the wall, but wait here is a savior , You can use the Following methods to Listen to a Mp3 file while it is still downloading and view a video in a similar fashion. Please note that there are several players that support such incomplete files but the ones i would recommend are VLC and Winamp


image
  1. If you are Using Opera, it’s really simple just start the download  file as usual and from your Transfers tab, right click on file and Open With and choose VLC or Winamp
  2. Firefox users have to go a step further, start the download and then right click on the file in downloads tab and click “open containing folder” and then there you will see a  additional .part file of the same name as the one you are downloading , Just drag and drop it on VLC or Winamp .
  3. Directly using VLC ( Just copy the audio , video Download link ) and open up VLC and go to Media->Open Network and paste the link in the address field and press the play button at bottom it will begin playing .
  4. For torrents , just do this directly go to the folder where your file is being saved and drag and drop the file to VLC ( for a longer and better playback try to go to your torrent client settings and enable the option to download initial parts of the file first or give them preference at least )
  5. IE and others go same way as Opera .
You can view the mp3 or video file this way and if you dont like the preview , just cancel the download
Hope this solved your Multimedia Downloading woes .

USB Pen Drive Data Copy in Stealth without the Owner Knowing Used for Stealing Data


USB hidden copier is a small utility for windows requiring .net framework that does a simple but much wanted job of copying any inserted pen drive secretly to a predefined folder upto 8GB and It does this without anyone knowing it happened except you.
image


Features of USB Hidden Copier :
  1. It is totally invisible and masked enough in order not to be detected easily.
  2. It will copy only a maximum of 8GB data.
  3. Content is saved under the folder named as the
    USB Drive name.
  4. It starts at computer startup.
  5. First copy is made 3 minutes after computer starts and then every 10 minutes the content will be overwritten, so you will have always latest content of that USB.
  6. Copied Content is saved in the default directory: “C:\WINDOWS\sysbackup\”. You can specify the folder of your choice if you want to. Click the “Browse” button in the control panel.
  7. The copier program is called “systemidle.exe” in order to mask it.
  8. In order not to copy you own USB Drive you can create a file named “friendflag.winxp” and put it directly on your USB (this file can be also with hidden and system attributes so you will not delete it accidentally). So when the program finds this file it will not copy the drive when it is located (your USB).
How it works :
Step 1 : Install USB Hidden Copier.
Step 2 : Select the folder where you want to copy the content.
Step 3: You can start copying immediately by pressing Alt+C. If program is not actually copying, it will start copying immediately and the program’s icon  (tray icon) will appear in notification area for 1/2 sec and will hide again. This way you will be notified that the command is accepted.
Step 4: To close program (Exit) you can press Alt+E. If program is not actually copying, it will close (exit) and you will be notified for this by a triangle icon in notification area, showing/hidding for 1/2 sec.

You can download this wonderful app here . credit goes to the developer of this app “ Altin Infomaster”

Partially Downloaded or Corrupt Zip File Repairing Software Utility Tool – Download


So, you just downloaded a ZIP file from the Internet and got stuck while opening it with a message such as “Invalid Zip file” or  “Corrupt Zip file” and it asks you to redownload it, now for small files it’s ok but for huge files you wont consider doing that again honestly, neither would I .


Now we have two scenario’s
1.  All Zip file contents are important for you , ie. each and every file in the ZIP , then you have no solution except than redownloading the whole zip file again.
2. If you are interested in only some of the files inside the ZIP archive and not all of them, then you can use this software utility to get those files .
So, for the second scenario we have a freeware utility Disk Internals Zip recovery tool, which can be downloaded here.
This tool would work in most  cases and i hope it would prove useful for you too 

Connect and Access Internet from Any BSNL Landline


For all the Internetoholics out there, who want Internet everywhere they go , but don’t want to carry a Data card or USB modem here is a small trick that will get you a Dial up Internet connection ( around 56Kbps ) anywhere you can find a BSNL landline. Yes, I too knew about this since long, but never thought of writing about it . BSNL provides a no registration required service named netone which can be accessed from any BSNL Landline , so if you visit some place and find a landline and your PC or Laptop has a modem port then you are lucky , follow these steps  and get Internet access quick .

1. Connect the phone wire to your PC/ Laptop
2. Create a new Network connection by any name ( under Network connections Control panel )
3. Enter
                 Username = netone
                 Password = netone
                 Number to Dial = 172222
4. Now just press dial and hopefully you will be connected and you can surf Internet , the rates are
   15 Rs. per hour during Daytime and 7.5 Rs. during 11Am to 7Am Night time
This is the actual cost you will be charged, nothing extra and it would be there in your BSNL bill at the end of the month .
Have fun with this trick and keep it as it will definitely save your face many times, when you need internet connection badly and nothing’s around ( although mobile GPRS is doing the trick for most of techies like me )
