Top 15 Ways to Extend Your Laptop’s Battery Life
Laptops tend to lose their charm quickly when you’re constantly looking for the nearest power outlet to charge up. How do you keep your battery going for as long as possible? Here are 15 easy ways to do so. 1. Defrag regularly - The faster your hard drive does its work - less demand you are going to put on the hard drive and your battery. Make your hard drive as efficient as possible by defragging it regularly. (but not while it’s on battery of course!) Mac OSX is better built to handle fragmentation so it may not be very applicable for Apple systems. 2. Dim your screen - Most laptops come with the ability to dim your laptop screen. Some even come with ways to modify CPU and cooling performance. Cut them down to the lowest level you can tolerate to squeeze out some extra battery juice. 3. Cut down on programs running in the background. Itunes, Desktop Search, etc. All these add to the CPU load and cut down battery life. Shut down everything that isn’t crucial when you’re on battery. 4. Cut down external devices - USB devices (including your mouse) & WiFi drain down your laptop battery. Remove or shut them down when not in use. It goes without saying that charging other devices (like your iPod) with your laptop when on battery is a surefire way of quickly wiping out the charge on your laptop battery. 5. Add more RAM - This will allow you to process more with the memory your laptop has, rather than relying on virtual memory. Virtual memory results in hard drive use, and is much less power efficient. Note that adding more RAM will consume more energy, so this is most applicable if you do need to run memory intensive programs which actually require heavy usage of virtual memory. 6. Run off a hard drive rather than CD/DVD - As power consuming as hard drives are, CD and DVD drives are worse. Even having one in the drive can be power consuming. They spin, taking power, even when they?re not actively being used. Wherever possible, try to run on virtual drives using programs like Alcohol 120% rather than optical ones. 7. Keep the battery contacts clean: Clean your battery’s metal contacts every couple of months with a cloth moistened with rubbing alcohol. This keeps the transfer of power from your battery more efficient. 8. Take care of your battery - Exercise the Battery. Do not leave a charged battery dormant for long periods of time. Once charged, you should at least use the battery at least once every two to three weeks. Also, do not let a Li-On battery completely discharge. (Discharing is only for older batteries with memory effects) 9. Hibernate not standby - Although placing a laptop in standby mode saves some power and you can instantly resume where you left off, it doesn’t save anywhere as much power as the hibernate function does. Hibernating a PC will actually save your PC’s state as it is, and completely shut itself down. 10. Keep operating temperature down - Your laptop operates more efficiently when it’s cooler. Clean out your air vents with a cloth or keyboard cleaner, or refer to some extra tips by LapTopMag.com. 11. Set up and optimize your power options - Go to ‘Power Options’ in your windows control panel and set it up so that power usage is optimized (Select the ‘max battery’ for maximum effect). 12. Don’t multitask - Do one thing at a time when you’re on battery. Rather than working on a spreadsheet, letting your email client run in the background and listening to your latest set of MP3’s, set your mind to one thing only. If you don’t you’ll only drain out your batteries before anything gets completed! 13. Go easy on the PC demands - The more you demand from your PC. Passive activities like email and word processing consume much less power than gaming or playing a DVD. If you’ve got a single battery charge - pick your priorities wisely. 14. Get yourself a more efficient laptop - Laptops are getting more and more efficient in nature to the point where some manufacturers are talking about all day long batteries. Picking up a newer more efficient laptop to replace an aging one is usually a quick fix. 15. Prevent the Memory Effect - If you’re using a very old laptop, you’ll want to prevent the ‘memory effect’ - Keep the battery healthy by fully charging and then fully discharging it at least once every two to three weeks. Exceptions to the rule are Li-Ion batteries (which most laptops have) which do not suffer from the memory effect. |

Disable 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\Curre ntVersion\ 3. Create a new key called “System”. 4. In System, create new DWORD value: DisableTaskMgr 5. Set the data value to 1 to enable Task Manager. 6. Set the data value to 0 to disable it. Once you done the above, it should work right away.

Block adult Sites with Proxy Auto Configuration Files:
Code: http://www.ericphelps.com/security/ProxyInstall.zip In English: Let's suppose there are sites you don't want your kids to see. It's kind of like the word "corn", except it starts with a "p". You understand? Well, using a Proxy Auto Configuration (PAC) file, you can block 80 to 90 percent of all these sites for free and without installing any special software. As an adult, why should you care? Graphic content aside, those sites are like a mine field. Far too many of them try to install bad things on your computer. You may have already discovered how easy it is to end up at one of those sites accidentally while searching or by following a link from an email! For your own sake, you should block Internet Explorer from those types of sites. Let's be honest. Nothing is perfect. Some things are going to slip through the filter. Others are going to be blocked when they shouldn't be. But the advantage of having a PAC file on your computer is that you can open it with Notepad and make changes. Add things. Take things away. Customize it. 1. change browser's proxy settings : file://C:/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc/proxy (is ko pic no. 2 k mutabiq dekh ker Connection settings mein dal dain...)

Hide Your Files In A JPEG
Well, did you know you could hide your files in a JPEG file? For this, you will only need to download WinRAR. You just need to have a little knowledge about Command Prompt and have WinRAR installed. Ok, lets begin… 1. Gather all the files that you wish to hide in a folder anywhere in your PC (make it in C:\hidden - RECOMMENDED). 2. Now, add those files in a RAR archive (e.g. secret.rar). This file should also be in the same directory (C:\hidden). 3. Now, look for a simple JPEG picture file (e.g. logo.jpg). Copy/Paste that file also in C:\hidden. 4. Now, open Command Prompt (Go to Run and type ‘cmd‘). Make your working directory C:\hidden. 5. Now, open Command Prompt (Go to Run and type ‘cmd‘). Make your working directory C:\hidden. 6. Now type: “COPY /b logo.jpg + secret.rar output.jpg” (without quotes) - Now, logo.jpg is the picture you want to show, secret.rar is the file to be hidden, and output.jpg is the file which contains both. 7. Now, after you have done this, you will see a file output.jpg in C:\hidden. Open it (double-click) and it will show the picture you wanted to show. Now try opening the same file with WinRAR, it will show the hidden archive . Done! and then send it 2 ur close friend ....chinky chinky i donot know whats da response from him ...may be this do it with ur own responsibilty becz it can also effect ur PC..
