Thanks to a little hackery from Apple’s Bluetooth Update (located here) the Magic Mouses driver was extracted via WinRar resulting in a 32bit version and a 64bit version that you can install on any ordinary Windows PC that will enable all the scrolling ‘magic’ of the Magic Mouse.

How to protect your Rapidshare Premium Account from Phishing

Many Rapidshare premium accounts were phished recently. Below are the steps and safety precautions you need to know to protect your account.

1) Be extra cautious when someone uses link protecter that hides the real download links of the file. The real Rapidshare download link looks like this: http://rapidshare.com/files/111111111/xxxxx.rar

2) If you come upon a Rapidshare Login Page, open another tab using your internet browser, go to rapidshare.com, turn to the login page, and see if it asks you to login. Did it ask you to login? If not, now you know the other one is fake.

3) Enable direct download in your Rapidshare premium account option’s page. The download box should pop up instantly every time you click on a Rapidshare download link. If you get redirected to Rapidshare Login Page, you know it’s fake.

4) If you got tricked, instantly change your account password and logout.

How to store and recover your Firefox Bookmark

Can’t live without your own computer? You probably treat website bookmark list as an important thing to conserve besides other files in your computer like me. Usually, I store useful websites link in my Firefox bookmark list for future reading and I think it will be essential if we can bring the list to another computer that we will use.

There are few ways how we can store and recover our Firefox Bookmark in case something bad will happen like hard disk damage or we just want to use the bookmark list within internet browser in another computer. However, by using an utility called MozBackup, we can achieve that in few simple steps.

MozBackup is a simple utility for creating backups of Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, Mozilla Suite, and Netscape profiles. With this software, we can backup and restore bookmarks, mail, contacts, history, extensions, and even cache. What you need to do is just run the wizards, and finish! A guide in .pdf format is provided by developer for complete tutorial.

Enable | Disable Windows Task Manager

Task Manager is a smart small utility in Windows XP that provides us information about applications and processes running in our computer. In the task manager, we can see the status of the programs that are currently running and choose to end programs that have stopped responding.

Of course it would be frustrating if the task manager was disabled for certain reason, but fortunately there’s a method to enable it back using a registry tweak. You can also choose to disable it with this method.

  1. Firstly, from the Start button click ‘run’ and start Regedit.
  2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
  3. Create a new key called “System”.
  4. In System, create new DWORD value: DisableTaskMgr
  5. Set the data value to 0 to enable Task Manager.
  6. Set the data value to 0 to disable it.

windows vista easter egg discovered

[NOTE : This post originally appeared on April 1, 2007, and was an April Fools Day joke. Vista does not include a copy of BOB, but if you scroll down to the comments, one of my readers has posted a link to a download of the original BOB installer if you really want to run it.] It turns out that the folks over in Redmond might have a sense of humor after all. I was working on getting my new install of Vista Ultimate up and running on my machine this weekend, and stumbled across this awesome easter egg.

It turns out that there’s an entire functional copy of the 1995 Microsoft BOB operating system hidden inside of Windows Vista. BOB was supposed to be an easy-to-use interface for Windows 3.2, complete with fuzzy animated characters (who eventually led to “Clippy” the paper clip in Microsoft Office.)

Vista Bob Easter Egg

Here’s how I managed to activate it:

First, you need to make sure you have full administrative permissions on your machine. Then, go to the Start menu and enter “W.0.w.B.0.b.” (note that those are Zeros not Os) while holding down the Alt key. Then, set your system time zone to “Cairo”. The next time you reboot, type in the same phrase backwards and you’ll be in the Windows Bob environment, complete with all of the original features. Once BOB is activated you can set your clock back to your regular time zone.

Surprisingly, the new version of BOB has been updated to include integration with Outlook 2007, so you can actually see your calendar entries and e-mails in the BOB organizer. Post back and let me know which character is your favorite. Personally, I like Scuzz the Rat.

Rename a Series of Files

When you download photos from your digital camera, they often have unrecognizable names. You can rename several similar files at once with the following procedure. This also works for renaming other types of files.

1.Open the My Pictures folder. (Click Start, and then click My Pictures.) Or open another folder containing files that you want to rename.
2.Select the files you want to rename. If the files you want are not adjacent in the file list, press and hold CTRL, and then click each item to select it.
3.On the File menu, click Rename.
4.Type the new name, and then press ENTER.


All of the files in the series will be named in sequence using the new name you type. For example, if you type Birthday, the first will be named Birthday and subsequent files in the series will be named Birthday (1), Birthday (2), and so on. To specify the starting number for the series, type the starting number in parentheses after the new file name. The files in the series will be numbered in sequence starting with the number you type. For example, if you type Birthday (10), the other files will be named Birthday (11), Birthday (12), and so on.

Create a Password Reset Disk

If you’re running Windows XP Professional as a local user in a workgroup environment, you can create a password reset disk to log onto your computer when you forget your password. To create the disk:

1.Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click User Accounts.
2.Click your account name.
3.Under Related Tasks, click Prevent a forgotten password.
4.Follow the directions in the Forgotten Password Wizard to create a password reset disk.

5.Store the disk in a secure location, because anyone using it can access your local user account.

Speed Up Browsing

When you connect to a web site your computer sends information back and forth. Some of this information deals with resolving the site name to an IP address, the stuff that TCP/IP really deals with, not words. This is DNS information and is used so that you will not need to ask for the site location each and every time you visit the site. Although Windows XP and Windows XP have a pretty efficient DNS cache, you can increase its overall performance by increasing its size. You can do this with the registry entries below:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache\Parameters]
"CacheHashTableBucketSize"=dword:00000001
"CacheHashTableSize"=dword:00000180
"MaxCacheEntryTtlLimit"=dword:0000fa00
"MaxSOACacheEntryTtlLimit"=dword:0000012d

Make a new text file and rename it to dnscache.reg. Then copy and paste the above into it and save it. Merge it into the registry.

Boot Defragment

A very important new feature in Microsoft Windows XP is the ability to do a boot defragment. This basically means that all boot files are placed next to each other on the disk drive to allow for faster booting. By default this option is enabled but some upgrade users have reported that it isn't on their setup.

1. Start Regedit.
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfrg\BootOptimizeFunction
3. Select Enable from the list on the right.
4. Right on it and select Modify.
5. Change the value to Y to enable and N to disable.
6. Reboot your computer.

Restricting Logon Access

If you work in a multiuser computing environment, and you have full (administrator level) access to your computer, you might want to restrict unauthorized access to your "sensitive" files under Windows 95/98.
One way is to disable the Cancel button in the Logon dialog box.
Just run Regedit and go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Network/Logon

Create the "Logon" subkey if it is not present on your machine: highlight the Network key -> right-click in the left hand Regedit pane -> select New -> Key -> name it "Logon" (no quotes) -> press Enter. Then add/modify a DWORD value and call it "MustBeValidated" (don't type the quotes). Double-click it, check the Decimal box and type 1 for value.
Now click the Start button -> Shut Down (Log off UserName) -> Log on as a different user, and you'll notice that the Logon Cancel button has been disabled.
