Some Tips/Tricks for computer Users

**How to increase life of your DVD drive
Now almost everyone watch movies on their computer's Dvd rom drive.
There is a software called DVD Idle Pro which can really increase the life of your dvd drive.

By using the "Smart Read-ahead" Cache, DVDIdle saves DVD data which will be played soon onto the hard disk cache or RAM cache, and then feeds it to DVD player. This allows the DVD drive to rest. For example: a 6X-speed DVD drive will only work for 15 minutes when you are watching a 90 minutes DVD movie.

here is the link to get the software

**Some Mouse wheel tricks/tips
If you have a mouse with a scroll wheel on it, you can do some cool things listed below:

1.CTRL + Spin(I love this)
If you are in a web browser (Explorer or Netscape or Firefox) , hold down your Ctrl key and spin the wheel. It makes the text larger or smaller depending on which way you spin. For Opera users, it magnifies both the images and the text.

2.Shift + Spin
Ever wonder what happens when you hold down the Shift key on a web page and spin the wheel on your wheel mouse? Explorer goes either back or forward, depending on which direction you spin.
Give it a try. Open up Internet Explorer(or any other browser) and follow a few links. Then, hold down your SHIFT key and spin that wheel.

**Firefox extension to Translate
This is a small extension that translates Web pages (via the toolbar button) or selected text (via the context menu) from several different foreign languages into English.This plug-in (extension) uses babel fish to translate pages. It’s small, but it does the job effectively.
To install Translate, click here.

**Trick to lock your private folder

Many will be familiar with this simple trick.
What I am using here is windows renaming trick including any registry entry and DOS batch files.
Suppose you want to lock the folder "Games" in D: which has the path D:\Games -
In the same drive create a text file and type
ren games games.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

Now save this text file as ren.bat
--U can use any reg word like above from your registry(Run-->Regedit)

Create another text file and type in it
ren games.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} games

Now save this text file as Key.bat
Now you can see 2 batch files Ren and Key.Press Ren.bat and the folder "Games" will change to control panel and you cannot view its contents.Press Key.bat and you will get back your original folder.
To save the above 2 bat files anywhere on comp ...to do that u can provide absolute path of your folder to be locked in batch files.

Gmail mail id can be disected with a dot(.)!!

I recently came across very unusual/funny behaviour about the gmail email id.

Suppose that if you have a gmail id by the name of anonymousguy@gmail.com,then it is same as anonymous.guy@gmail.com and even same as anony.mous.g.u.y@gmail.com etc etc
This works because there is ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE between these differently spelt/dot separated mail ids.
Check yourself by sending mails to your id with "." at any place in ur name if u like!!

The reason for this is that the gmail server does not recognise the dot(.) character and so this thing works.

Also one more name for your e-mail id would be anonymous.guy@googlemail.com
