Solution : Switching User Without Disconnecting Internet

  Thanks to Andrew for this post. Downloading stuffs from the internet, and you thought it would be safe to change to another user. Upon returning to that user (that’s downloading stuffs), you realised the connection was cut during the switch.

  Too bad, it’s too late, but you can fix that. What you need to do is do a bit of tweaking with your registry and you’ll be able to switch without disconnecting. Obviously, the first steps would be:

Solution : Ways To Download Videos WITHOUT Any Programs

  Howdy folks. Another requested solution for a friend of mine, Miss 'S.L.' :P . In many other posts I've seen, people wrote about PROGRAMS that can download videos from video-hosting sites like YouTube etc etc. So, I try to turn things around by suggesting to you all to download videos WITHOUT any programs.

  In my opinion, programs increase clutters of files on computers and risks of getting spywares or viruses. Programs also have to be started in order to download videos from sites.

  Pointing out some advantages of program-free downloading, it's because :

• No settings to check in programs,
• Saves space on your comp,
• No software downloads needed, just bookmarking (you'll see what I mean),
• & Simple (well, almost all of them)

  Not to delay any more, here are the few ways of program-free video downloading : 

• As easy as 'copy + paste'. Copy your video link in the address bar. Then, paste into one of these sites, keepvid.com, gazzump.com or vixy.net . I would recommend vixy.net or gazzump.com 'cause it offers conversion to other video formats.

• Give to receive (videos of course). Just add these words 'kiss', 'pwn' or 'kick' (without the '') into 'www.[here]youtube.com/wateveryourewatching' in the address bar of the video & hit 'Enter'.

• DIY steps for geeks. Did you know rendered videos stays on your comp? That's why online videos that has been fully rendered can still be played in your browser offline. This'll be pretty tough, but easy too if you just take your time. Here it goes... : 

1. Make sure 'hidden files & folders' is unticked
2. Open & Play the video in your browser (UNTIL THE VIDEO IS FULLY RENDERED)
3. My Computer > Local Disk (C:) > *USERNAME* > Local Settings > Temp
4. Make a shortcut to the 'Temp' folder & put on your desktop
5. In 'Temp' folder, find files starts with 'fla' (ex: fla7D.tmp) 
6. Copy the last 'fla' file ('cause it's the last video you played) to desktop
7. Rename 'fla' file you COPIED to DESKTOP (ex: fla7D.tmp -> name.flv) ...& done!

Solution : Recover Deleted (Or Formatted) Files

  Ahh!! It's good to be back!! Yeah I took this from Iron Man 2, the movie's just freaking awesome! Anyways, back to the point. 

  This is another Solutions post to answer the guy named 'kuku' through cbox. So basically, he/she asked whether a person can recover his files back after he/she permanently delete it, or after emptied out from the Recycle Bin. Well, yes you can, but you'll need to do it quick, here's why.

  When you store your file on a disk, the file is 'locked'. So when there are new files to write on the disk, it won't overwrite the files that have been 'locked', to show that it is still being used and not deleted yet by the user.

  When you delete a file, you remove the 'lock'. So when new files are being written, it is given the permission to overwrite the 'unlocked' files. That is why deleted files are still recoverable, they still exist on the disk, but is exposed to the danger of being overwritten. And here is the ending part of why you have to QUICKLY recover before other files overwrites it.

Here's a drawing of mine to show what I just said,

  There are a few utilities here that is can be used for recovering files, one of them is 'Tuneup Utilities'.

Steps : 

1. Download from Hotfile (choose 'Regular Download')
2. Install
3. Register with the serial given
4. Find the utility that let's you recover files
5. Go through the easy steps given ...& done!

  As a reminder, again, if you accidentally deleted a file, quickly recover it, otherwise the file might be overwritten by new ones and will be irreversible after that.

Organize Inbox (or Facebook) E-mails Into Different Folders... Automatically

  Having problem with your inbox that's accumulating e-mails equivalent to Mount. Everest already? And now you're trying to figure out how to manage them. 2 thoughts always comes to mind to an average e-mail user : Do I constantly check my e-mails so I can mark them "Read"? or so that I can avoid unnecessary e-mails by deleting them? I say, is it too much to ask for both? Plus another feature, which is sorting them into folders, AND doing ALL this automatically? Is that hard? I think not.

  In Hotmail, or now called Windows Live Mail, there is are options which most users have never thought of before : 1. Sorting all your e-mails into different folders... 2. Automatically.

  

Step 1                                 Step 2

 

Step 3                                      Step 4

 

Step 5                                         Step 6

Ctrl + Click To Enlarge Pic In New Window

  The steps are simple (if not so, the purpose of this blog would've been gone) :

1. Sign in to your Hotmail (make sure to click SSL on the bottom left to avoid spam)
2. Click "Options" > "More Options"
3. Under "Customize your e-mail", choose "Automatically sort e-mail into folders"
4. Click "New Filter"
5. Choose where in the e-mail you want to categorize accordingly into the folder. Ex: categorize sk&83njks@facebookmail.com into a "Facebook" folder, so what you do is select "From address" and type "facebookmail.com" in the empty space for you to type on the right. (you should be able to understand the other options like "From name" "Subject"...)
6. Scroll down > choose "New Folder" & type name of the folder > "Save"...& done! (or choose "Delete these messages" if you never want to see them again)

  You should see a new filter for what you have choosen, and on your Hotmail main page, you will now see the new folders you have created below "Inbox".

  If you just want to sort your current inbox mails into folders for now, you can create the folders first like this :

1. In the left panel where the "Inbox" word is, scroll down and click "Manage Folders"
2. In "Manage Folders", the buttons "New", "Create", "Delete" are on the top > "Save"
3. After saving, you can just drag the e-mails in "Inbox" to the folders you want to put in on the left.
