Lessons I learnt from my best buddy.......

Hi...
     This is something I am writing because one of my friend compelled me to do so.As everyone of us have a best friend even I have one.I can't name him because he does not likes it. We were together in our schooling days and got separated only when it came to college. Soon our ways to life changed and he went to Mumbai for studies and I was destined for Pune and after trying for nearly 3 years I went to Mumbai to enjoy with him.
      I was happy and had great time with him.I played,laughed,ate and have done everything with him and what I can say is I've seen life with him for those 4 days....After living with him and meeting different kinds of people I developed the following ideology.I don't know whether its right or wrong but I strongly believe in it now.
       "Be yourself wherever you go..." yes it was he who made me realize that we should not fake things neither should we try to pretend something..so alas be whatever you are.I have this bad habit of being like the people with whom I am..he taught me to put forward your point if you don't believe in what others have to say.Make it to express yourself if you disagree with what others have to say.
       So,finally he taught me which I've heard somewhere...
                 "Its your life,
                  live it your way,
                  don't ever be in the dogma of what others think of you,
                  just do things as you wish to do without thinking
                  what people will say..."
    Finally what he taught me is to believe in yourself. Don't be afraid or don't give up if others don't share the
 picture as you do.If you believe in what you are doing and know that what you're doing is right just go for it even if you are alone. At least alas you won't regret that you have not tried it just because others say
YOU CAN'T...........
    So it was same as the  lesson taught Will Smith in Pursuit of Happiness.....
             " Don't allow anyone to tell that you can't do something,
                they want to tell that because they themselves were unable to do so,
                if you have a dream go live it........
                cherish it......."

What I did to manage windows startup programs....

      The problem I was facing was I've installed too many applications on my system and thus it took longer time for booting thereby frustating me like any other user.So, I tried to manage them and tried avoiding the automatic start of unwanted softwares on each boot.For some of them I managed by changing the individual settings but for some it was difficult to find the required settings to be changed.
        So after searching for a while and discussions with some of my technically sound friends I found the following solution.Actually its not a solution but it gives the common platform to manage settings of all your installed applications..so try using following steps....here they go....

1.Type msconfig in run option from start menu and hit ok
2.Select startup sub-menu
3.Uncheck the application you do not want to start on boot
4.Apply the settings and click OK
5.Restart the system if asked

It worked for me and I hope for you too.....(this is for windows xp OS)

Solution for uploading photos........

Hi...
       I was trying to upload pics in my facebook account.I've downloaded some from google but due to some problem was unable to save them so I created a file in paint and saved pics in it in (.BMP) format but when I browsed through facebook for selecting,it did'nt show me the paint file.After searching for a while I got to know that to upload,the file should be in (.JPEG) format and not (.BMP)
So simply open the file -> goto 'file' menu and select option 'save as' -> select 'save type as' =(.JPEG)....
Finally was haappy to upload my images...:)

µTorrents settings that I was not knowing....

Hello friends,
                   As engineering students with internet connection at hand the most important job for us is to download the movies and other stuffs.
µTORRENT plays an  important role in it.....:)as it allows resuming the paused downloads ,scheduling them,auto-shutdown feature and many more....
        One day I was discussing with one of my friend that it does not allows to queue up the downloads so with multiple downloads working it takes a lot of time to complete it or the other choice is to manually pause and start the downloads which I don't like.He then gave me the solutions with couple of settings...here they are....
Start µtorrent downloader -->goto options-->preferences-->queueing-->make maximum number of active downloads/torrents=1...and problem is solved..:)

Its simple...but do you know it ???

Hello!!!
        I learned some of the simple things from one of my friend which I would like to share with you....
Just create a folder and try to name it "con" and there is a surprise for you...You can't name a folder with that name,the reason I don't know and of-course if you know it please let me know....:)
       Second one is as simple as the first one.It allows you to automatically write date&time to the text file you are working on i.e whenever you make a change to your file it appends the current date and time at that place.All you need to do is just write ".LOG" at the beginning of your file.This should be in capitals and it won't work for lower case letters.You need to write only the text and not the double quotes,I have used it to just highlight it...:)

Removing Internet Explorer from XP system...

One of my friends asked me "How can you remove Internet Explorer from windows XP?"
This was the question asked to him in one of the interviews.
I gave it a thought to know that it does not have any option in Control Panel-->Add or remove programs
So after searching on google I learned that:
Internet Explorer is used by Windows XP for a number of processes in addition to web browsing, making it more of a part of the operating system than just a browser and thus it is nearly impossible to remove safely.
Thus,removing IE causes too many problems to be worth it
Even though removing Internet Explorer isn't a wise option, you most certainly "safely disable"
Internet Explorer and use your alternative browser as the one and only way to access the Internet
on your Windows XP PC.
Here is how you can disable Internet Explorer in Windows XP:
1.Navigate to the Control Panel by clicking on Start, followed by Control Panel
2.In the Control Panel window, open Add or Remove Programs.
3.In the Add or Remove Programs window, click on the Set Program Access and Defaults button
 on the menu on the left.
4.Choose the Custom option in the Choose a configuration: area.
5.In the Choose a default Web browser: area, uncheck the Enable access to this program check
box next to Internet Explorer.
6.Click OK. Windows XP will apply your changes and the Add or Remove Programs window will
 close automatically.
 Alternate solution was provide on following link:

I tried using it but it then denied internet access through my other browser also so I used the above solution and disabled IE successfully.
