LINK EXCHANGE

Hi people all those interested in doing link exchange with my blogs can just comment back their blog url.

Our blogs are

Google Hacks - http://www.googleopedia.com/-- PR3
Tech world - http://tech.googleopedia.com/ -- PR3
Virus codes - http://viruswriting.blogspot.com/ -- PR1


Note:-
  • The title of the widget were link is posted should not be "link exchange".
  • If your site is on hacking and alike then link exchange will only be done with virus writing.
  • You should at least have a PR 1 for Virus writing and PR 2 for googleopedia.
  • Sites with high external links may also not submit link (Google/Search engines are the culprit).
  • Sites having more than 100 links (both internal and external) may also not submit link (again Google is the culprit)

It's a bad practice to have high no of outbound links or having more than 100 links. These pages are generally neglected by Google and other search engines as a spam. Even pages who link to these pages may also get affected. So sorry!!!

India medalfest

"Go for gold" is what's told to every sports person but only a few adhere to it. Not because they dont want but because they couldnt. Abhinav is one of the few who made it true.Wining gold at olympics is a dream come true. Me being a indian is elated at his achievement.

Sad but true this is the first time an Indian has won gold at Olympics. Although we have won many gold in hockey this is the first individual gold medal.

Great news Sushil Kumar wins bronze in wrestling and Vijender also wins bronze in boxing





Norman Pritchard- 2 silvers in 1900 Paris Athletics



Field hockey(team)- gold 1928 Amsterdam , 1932 Los Angeles, 1936 Berlin , 1948 London , 1952 Helsinki , 1956 Melbourne , 1964 Tokyo , 1980 Moscow

silver medal 1960 Rome

bronze medal 1968 Mexico, 1972 Munich



Leander Paes- 1996 Atlanta Tennis Men's singles Bronze

Karnam Malleswari- 2000 Sydney Weightlifting Women's 69 kg Bronze

Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore- 2004 Athens Shooting Men's double trap Silver





For most countries this is equivalent to their tally in one Olympics but sorrowfully this the entire list of medal won by india in the past 108 years. I am sure we will win 108 times this total medal in the next 108 years



Whatever it is I am proud to be an Indian Please comment back your feelings on this historic win.

Control Master File Table Zone Reservation

On NTFS-enabled XP systems, you can control the amount of space allocated to the Master File Table(MFT). The MFT contains reference entries to all the files on the system. This can get fragmented over time and affect system performance. Use this hack to allocate sufficient space for the MFT.



Navigate to:

HLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem


Modify NtfsMftZoneReservation to a value between 1 and 4. For most users, a value of 3 is good enough. To be completely effective, this setting should be specified at the time the volume is formatted.

Enable/Disable Thumbnail Caching

One of Explorer's great features is to display a thumbnail of images and

the first frame of the video when seen in Thumbnail view. This is either done when you access the folder or it fetches from the thumbnail cache. Fetching thumbnails from the cache is  lot faster, but will consume a lot of hard disk space, especially if your system is full of images and video.Thankfully you can disable this. or in case you have sufficient space but want to speedup your system then you can enable it in case disabled.



Navigate to:

HCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion  \Explorer\Advanced


Set the DWORD Value DisableThumbnailCache to 1 if you are low on hard disk space. Otherwise chang/leave it at 0 to enable thumbnail caching

Unload Unused DLLs

XP has a very bad habit, Even after an application is closed the associated DLL files still exist in memory. This can waste some precious resources and memory. This also cause stability problems. Make the DLLs unload themselves from memory after the program is done running.



Navigate to:

HLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\

Explorer\AlwaysUnloadDLL




If the DWORD AlwaysUnloadDLL is not present, you will need to create it. Set the Value of the ?(Default)? setting to 1. Application-associated DLLs will get unloaded when the application

is closed.

Speedup Softwares By Changing Priority

Instances of the same software will share a single process thread(same resources).

If you have stability problems or slow application loads then this registry hack will solve your problem.

This registry hack will make each application start in its own process will improve stability and speed up load times. Go to REGEDIT(Start>>>RUN>>Type REGEDIT)



Navigate to:

HLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\PriorityControl






Change the value of the DWORD Win32PrioritySeperation to 27, 28, 37, 38 (in decimal). The default is 2. This is not over yet one more thing has to be done.



Go to My Computer. Select Folder Options under the Tools menu and choose the View tab.

Now select(check) the box ?Launch folder windows in a separate process.?



This will make each application window run in a separate process. Remember now each instance will consume the same amount of memory so use this only if you have 512 MB or more of RAM. You may need to restart your comp.



You may also speedup the softwares by decreasing up their load time.(click here to know how to do it)

Disable Frequent software

Windows normally shows the frequently used softwares in the start menu. this could be annoying for those who dont need it/use it. Use this hack if you don?t want the list of frequently used programs in the Start Menu to show up.This will only work with the XP Start Menu, not the Classic Start Menu.



Navigate to:

HCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Policies\Explorer

And to:

HLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Policies\Explorer

Change the value of DWORD NoStartMenuMFUprogramsList to 1 to disable the display of the frequent programs list. If that DWORD doesn?t exist, create it.

Add New Command To Right-Click

After a Windows update, the much-used ?New? option in the rightclick

could go missing. This hack will fix it.



Navigate to:

HCR\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers \New




Add the following String Value:

{D969A300-E7FF-11d0-A93B-00A0C90F2719} to the ?(Default)?

setting under that key. If the ?New? key is not present, create it

and add the value.
