How to Get Firefox Jumplists in Windows 7 Taskbar

2009-05-25T23:51:00.019-07:00

I’m sure Windows 7 users using Firefox aren’t happy as Firefox doesn’t show jumplists in Windows 7 taskbar. Jumplists form an important part in Windows 7, when a program is minimized it is shown as an icon in the taskbar. When the mouse is hovered over the icon, a jumplist is displayed which shows various options regarding the program concerned. For instance if you minimize Internet Explorer you should see an IE icon on the taskbar which when hovered over displays various options and open tabs in the form of a jumplist.

Now if you tried minimizing Firefox you may have noticed that this doesn’t work the way you did with IE. But don’t you worry! Winfox helps you in this situation. It’s a small app (not an extension) that will put the top 15 websites with favicons, ‘Open New Tab’ and ‘Open New Windows’ in your Firefox Jumplist in the taskbar. You can also pin the websites on your Jumplist, which is very useful for quick access. Like Internet Explorer, you’ll also be able to see the different open tabs just by hovering over the taskbar button of Firefox. You need to run this app while using Firefox. You can download it from below.

Winfox features:

Recent Items support (limited to fifteen items)

Tasks support

Pin support

FirefoxURL handling (dragging Firefox pages)

Auto-detection of the Firefox directory and user profile

FavIcon support (downloads top fifteen favicons to your Firefox Cache directory)

Launch Firefox by clicking on the Winfox icon (if Winfox is running)

Linking of all open Firefox windows – Sets all Firefox windows to use Winfox (only if Winfox is running)

Download:

Winfox – 32 bit (x86)

XWindows Dock- A Mac like Dock for Windows

2009-05-25T23:51:00.017-07:00

When it comes to docks most of us prefer Rocket Dock. I love Rocket dock for its features and its wide range of options to optimize the dock. But today I came across a cool dock- XWindows Dock which gives you a Mac like dock for Windows. It provides all graphics affects like reflections, transparency, shadow, blur, etc. Some of the cool features include stacking of folders and files within folders. It shows you the inner files in the form of a fan or grid. Well, this can be done is Rocket Dock too with the stacks addon.

Another interesting feature is the gallery stack. Now this is one feature that made me love this dock. You can add a specific gallery folder, whenever you hover over it, it will show you the images in the form of a small filmstrip. You can also reserve screen area for the dock, this feature didn’t excite me that much though. The bottom of the open windows will always be over the dock making the dock and the taskbar visible. Ahh! And last but not the least; you can minimize windows directly into your dock. You don’t need to have a look at the windows taskbar anymore if you got bored of it!

One serious drawback of the dock is that you cannot move the dock to the top or sides of your screen. Well, if you liked the dock and would like to give it a try download it from below.

Fix WiFi Lags in Vista and XP

2009-05-25T23:51:00.015-07:00

Sometimes if you’re using a wireless connection you may experience lags. Lags are mainly caused due to the Wireless Zero Configuration in Windows XP and WLAN Auto Config in Windows Vista. It keeps looking for new wireless networks due to which these lags are caused. Such lags and connection problems are really annoying if you’re watching a video, playing a game or any other multimedia browsing over the web.

If you want to check if there are any connection lags you can do so by typing ping -t www.google.com in the command prompt. If there are no lags you’ll see something like the pic above.

But if there are any connection lags then you’ll see spikes like in the pic above.

There’s a software known as Vista Anti Lag which helps you to solve this problem. It will stop the Windows service from automatically searching for a W-LAN connection every 2 minutes once a wireless connection has been established. XP users can download Wireless Zero Shutdown from below which is similar to Vista Anti Lag.

Download Windows Movie Maker Portable

2009-05-25T23:51:00.013-07:00

Windows Movie Maker is one of the most widely used applications for creating and editing videos on Windows. Most of us rely on it for creating attractive videos from images, sound clips, etc. Sometimes it comes really handy to merge several video clips instantly. I had used it many times when we had to make small videos during ad analysis and marketing of a product in our college.

In the newer version of Windows Movie Maker, Microsoft has cut down certain features. Now that’s bad! But don’t you worry! A developer has come up with a modified version of the old Windows Movie Maker which is portable as well. It’s based on the 2.1 version. You don’t need to install it, all you need to do is carry it in your pen drive wherever you want and then just plug into a computer and use it. It is compatible with Windows 7, Vista and XP.

How to use?

1. Download the zip file and extract to a folder.

2. Run “Runonce.exe” preferably as administrator.

3. Launch “moviemk.exe “.

How to see who is invisible - Yahoo!

2009-05-25T23:51:00.009-07:00

Besides the password to find out how Yahoo last time and receive related searches: offline user on Yahoo Messenger, look who's invisible Yahoo ... etc.

In logic, if a person is connected to Yahoo Messenger and lie invisible, it means that he has no mood to talk to you. However, sometimes you have to know that even if the person intentionally hide from you, so you'll say and how to check if it is invisible or not, without doubt!

1. The first variant is to use Xeeber. It's easy, enter the site, type in the box id messenger of the person searched, and will show if it is online or offline (invisible). Bonus will show picture user. : mrgreen:

2. The second variant is Invisible Scanner, which is currently seen as fallen. Works like Xeeber will show if the person is online or offline. (invisible)

3. A third variant would be to invite the person who apparently is in an offline conference on YM. Even if user is offline, you receive a message that tells you this. If nothing happens and not get the message, it means that the person lie invisible, so it is really online. That really is an important bug. (I have not tested this version)

Personally I prefer option 1, even if I need to check a person YM. If you check me and see that are invisible, it's clear. I want to talk, not that I hide!

Download files from Rapidshare / Megaupload with Jdownloader

2009-05-25T23:51:00.005-07:00

One clicks hosts like rapidshare, megaupload, depositfiles and many others have been part of average users worldwide for day to day stuff. These one click hosts normally work with two way approach of normal user and premium user. The normal user is devoid of many features of these hosts e.g. there is a limit to the size of file which can bedownloaded, you need to wait before downloading more than one file and even some hosts stop users from certain countries to download after some bandwidth is used.

All these limitations are removed after you buy their premium option for which you need to spend some money. Even the captcha’s thats required to be filled for downloading a file is sometime too complicated.

I wrote about a firefox plugin skipscreen which helps you download files from these. But that one too got some limitations. Today i will talk about a download manager which is too good for these one click hosts and will let you download files at one go.

Also, this is valid for both free and premium users. But let me clarify one thing. It doesnt act as premium user download manager but it helps you download many files without going to file url everytime and entering captcha after waiting sometime.

I am talking about JDownloader. Here’s what the site has to say about it.

JDownloader is open source, platform independent and written completely in Java. It simplifies downloading files from One-Click-Hosters like Rapidshare.com or Megaupload.com - not only for users with a premium account but also for users who don’t pay. It offers downloading in multiple paralell streams, captcha recognition, automatical file extraction and much more.

JDownloader is absolutely free of charge. Additionally, many “link encryption” sites are supported - so you just paste the “encrypted” links and JD does the rest. JDownloader can import CCF, RSDF and the new DLC files.

Platform independent. (Windows, Linux, Mac, ..)

Runs on Java 1.5 or higher

Download several files parellel

Download with multiple connections

JD has an own powerful OCR module (JAntiCaptcha)

Decrypt RSDF, CCF and DLC Containerfiles

Decryptplugins for many services. e.g. sj.org, UCMS, WordPress, RLSLog….

Youtube, Vimeo, clipfish video and Mp3 Download

Automatic extractor (including password list search) (Rar archives)

Theme Support

Multilingual

About 110 hoster and over 300 decrypt plug-ins

Reconnect with JDLiveHeaderScripts: (1400 router supported)

Webupdate

Integrated package manager for additional modules (eg. Webinterface, Shutdown)

i have used it and it performs great. Give it a try you wont regret it.

Just a advice. You need to have Java installed on your system for it to work.

VirusTotal : Best online virus scanner

2009-05-25T23:51:00.001-07:00

I have talked about system based virus scanner like kaspersky, NOD 32, Norton antivirus, Mcafee, Panda etc. many times and the services they offer. These tools offer good protection to your system. But often , some viruses are not detected by these or all of these individually. Then perhaps you feel like checking with other virus scanner than the one you have.

In situations like this, online virus scanner provided by different secuirty vendors like mcafee etc. provide you tools to check files online. But if you want to check your suspicious file with all the virus scanners simultaneaously then what you do?

VirusTotal offers you that capability. It examines your files by scanning it through 29 antivirus scanner available and it does that pretty fast with impressive results.

Free, independent service

Use of multiple antivirus engines (29 Total)

Real-time automatic updates of virus signatures

Detailed results from each antivirus engine

You can upload any file on it and it scans the file in less than 2 mins by all 29 scanners. The results displayed after show you the details of each scanner and when it was updated along with the details of viruses found if any in your file.

Its useful when you suspect some files to be having virus / spyware/ trojan and your current antivirus doesnt detect any of them.

So you can check your files if any you have any suspicious of file.You wont be dissappointed.

Movie Thumbnailer 200808a

2009-05-25T23:50:00.041-07:00

Movie Thumbnailer (mtn) — saves thumbnails (screenshots) of movie or video files to jpeg files. It uses FFmpeg´s libavcodec as its engine, so it supports all popular codecs, e.g. divx h264 mpeg1 mpeg2 mp4 vc1 wmv xvid, and formats, e.g. .3gp .avi .dat .mkv .wmv. mtn is open source software. It should run on all operating systems which have gcc, FFmpeg, and GD, for example, Linux and Windows.Features:

Super fast! Thanks to FFmpeg´s libavcodec.

Command line program: can be used on remote connections to co-location servers, or used in scripts.

Batch mode: recursively search directories for movie files.

Run at lower priority (nice 10 on Linux, idle on Windows) by default. To run at normal priority use -n option.

Thumbnails are group together in one jpeg file and can be saved individually too (-I option).

Work fine with Unicode filenames in both Linux & Windows (might need to change the font with -f fontfile).

GPU y controlador de memoria integrados en los próximos Atom

2009-05-25T23:50:00.033-07:00

En la web de Intel se libero un documento en el que se pueden ver las cualidades o características que serán incluidas en su próxima generación de procesadores Pine Trail, que serán la evolución de la arquitectura Atom actual.

Este procesador traerá integrado con sigo un controlador de memoria y un GPU. De esta manera ya habrá un chip menos para el ensamblado de las placas madres, reduciendo de esta manera costes, quedando otro chip único que daría el soporte a SATA, USB, PCI Express y Audio HD.

Las plataformas con este procesador serán más barata, al tener un chip menos y por ende reducir su consumo. Y según prometen, este micro traerá una buena mejoría tanto en el procesador como en los gráficos.. Esperemos que este ultimo sea el que mayor mejoría traiga, porque, actualmente son el culpable de que todos veamos con cariño a la plataforma ION de NVIDIA..

Este micro verá la luz a finales del año.

Messenger Plus! Live 4.79.342 Beta is now compatible with 64bits version of Windows and is Vista ready. It is compatible with Windows Live Messenger 8.00.787 and above (it won't work with previous beta versions of Messenger).

What's New in This Version

This change log is for a beta version. It will be updated until the final version is released.
Compatibility for the Windows Live Messenger 9 Beta version of 2007 has been removed.
Contacts from Yahoo! Messenger are now handled better by Messenger Plus!.

Using EncodeHD For Portable Devices

2009-05-25T23:50:00.025-07:00

This is a guest post written by Adam Thursby and originally posted at The Digital Media Zone . Find even more great articles from Adam as well as regular podcasts over at The DMZ!

Reading here, you know I love my Zune. But, there is one thing I absolutely hate about it and that’s the fact that Microsoft refuses to allow you to convert and sync certain video codecs and containers. A lot of MS products are like this so it isn’t really a surprise. The same goes for iPods and other portable media players (PMPs.) They each only support the file types that the company has decided to support, but I want to be able to watch my content on the go. Luckily there’s an easy way to do this.

There are a lot of video conversion suites out there. Most of these require installation of the codecs to which you want to read and convert. Some are simple affairs while others boast more features than you’d ever want to deal with. EncodeHD is simple for sure, but simplicity is it’s strength.

If you can’t tell already, I’m a fan of this application. I have been since it was Encode360 (previous application which EncodeHD replaces). You can read my email interview with the creator, Dan Cunningham, over at the Entertainment 2.0 blog. Dan has put a lot of work into the application and it shows. While EncodeHD will re-encode your video files for home use on different systems, this article will focus on it’s use for PMPs.

As I stated above, EncodeHD is all about simplicity. When you download the application, you unzip the files to a folder and that’s it. There’s no installer. When you run the application you double click the icon and go. EncodeHD comes packaged with everything it needs to run so there’s no codec packs to install which (for us MCE users especially) takes the guess work out of what you need. The interface is simple and uncluttered. You can drag and drop the files you want to convert right into the app. From here, simply select the device you want to play your content on and you’re ready to go!

That’s it. Hit that start button and watch your conversions go. The time it takes of course depends on the file size and type. This is really one touch encoding. The app includes batch processing so if you want to let it run over night and convert, say, an entire season of a television show, it should be done by morning.

EncodeHD has support for a good number of devices and it seems more are added with each new version. Currently supported are:

BlackBerry (8100) Pearl

BlackBerry (8200) Kickstart

BlackBerry (8300) Curve

BlackBerry (8700) Electron

BlackBerry (8800) Indigo

BlackBerry (8900) Javelin

BlackBerry (9000) Bold

BlackBerry (9500) Storm

iPhone

iPod 5G

iPod Classic

iPod Nano

iPod Touch

Zune

This is just a list of the portable devices. EncodeHD also supports:

Apple TV

Playstation 3

Western Digital TV

X-Box 360

One thing to keep in mind is that when converting for the Xbox 360, you will lose surround sound. I spoke to Dan about this quickly and learned that the Xbox doesn’t support AC3 audio in mp4 so it can’t be included in the stream. This is something MS could solve I’m sure, but I won’t hold my breath.

In the end, if you’re looking for an easy to use video conversion utility, this is as far as you have to go. With support for AVI, MKV and other popular formats, one click and batch conversion, you’ll finally be able to take them with you!

6 Easy Ways to Improve Your Media Browser

2009-05-25T23:50:00.023-07:00

Media Browser is easily one of the most popular video and movie collection managers for Windows 7 Media Center users, with good reason. The interface it provides is stunning and the number of extra “little” features available amount to a heap of Media Center loving. Out of the box, Media Browser is great but that doesn’t mean that we can’t make it just a little better.

Get all that Juicy Metadata

The first step to any good media collection is metadata. Media Browser does a fairly good job of getting comprehensive metadata for your collection on it’s own but sometimes you may want a little more control. In that case, have a look at MediaScout and Media Center Master. Both provide superior metadata retrieval and integrate extremely well with Media Browser.

Add Encoding Details to the Interface

Can’t keep track of which of your videos is high definition or which ones have full surround sound? Display that encoding info right inside Media Browser with this simple trick. Just download MediaInfo and follow these steps to get enable the feature inside the Media Browser details screen.

Fill in those Actor Images

That actors tab in your movie details isn’t very pretty with all those blank images adorning your cast list. Why not fill those blank images in using portraits from the ImagesByName project. Just follow these directions and you’ll have quite an impressive collection of actor portraits available for Media Browser to use in no time!

Add Movie Trailers to your Movie Details

While it’s not quite streaming movie trailers it’s still possible to get trailers for each of your movies inside Media Browser’s details page. Use a trailer downloading program such as HD Movie Trailer Downloader or Get Trailers, then follow these simple steps to add an icon to your movie’s details page. Then you’ll have instant access to all your movie trailers while browsing through your collection.

Give those Blank Folders a Custom Look

Why leave those ugly blank folders messing up an otherwise sleek interface? Instead download our collection of custom icons (or use you own) and add them to your folders instead. Don’t stop there either, make sure that you preserve those transparent backgrounds and avoid that homely blue box as well.

Top it off with a Custom Start Menu

Why not top it all off by creating a custom start menu just for Media Browser? You can even remove the old Movie strip so you don’t confuse your friends and family with multiple movie browsing programs. Also, for those with a few of the most popular streaming media plug-ins (secondrun.tv, playon with playit, tunerfree mce and tubecore) installed can add them to the menu as well!

Transcoding in Windows Seven x64 with Media Browser and Transcode 360

2009-05-25T23:50:00.021-07:00

This is a guest post written by Adam Plante, a Hack7MC reader. Do you have a guide you’d like to share with the community? Let us know by dropping us a line through the contact form or email mhealy@hack7mc.com.

This guide assumes you already have media browser installed and configured

What you will need

Transcode 360 v4.6

The Latest Version of Mplayer (Download the 7z file for athlon or intel)

Hstart

Preperation

It is important to disable UAC before attempting any of these steps. Make sure you do not have any previous versions of transcode 360 on your computer.

Installation

Install Transcode 360 as a tray icon not as a service. Be sure to install to c:\Program Files\Transcode 360 as it will try to install to C:\Program Files(x86)\Transcode 360 by default. Reboot your computer. You will get a message saying Transcode 360 tray icon failed to load. We will fix that right now.

Click on the start menu and type msconfig. Under the startup tab disable Transcode 360 by unchecking it. Now Navigate to to c:\Program Files\Transcode 360 in explorer. Right click on Transcode360.exe and click properties. Go to the compatibility tab and select run as administrator.

Now open Notepad and paste the following lines into it:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Transcode360]

“PluginsPath”=”C:\\Users\\yourusername\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\nsiF3D2.tmp”

“InstallPath”=”C:\\Program Files\\Transcode360″

“ServerAddress”=”localhost”

“ConnectionTimeout”=”40″

“WindowsApplication”=”1″

“InterfacePort”=”1401″

“InstallationType”=”WindowsApplication

Save the file as a .reg and run it. Alternatively, you can download this pre-made reg file and open it in notepad to replace the username. Afterward run the reg file and apply the changes to your registry.

Now extract the contents of MPlayer-athlon-svn-29312 in the mplayer download into C:\Program Files\Transcode360\Wrappers\MencoderTranscoder . You should now be able to run transcode 360 in the command prompt by navigating to the Transcode 360 directory and typing transcode360.exe –console. You should get a dos prompt that reads transcode 360 process started.

At this point you are ready to transcode but you would have to leave the console open whenever you want to transcode. That’s where hstart comes in. Extract the contents of the hstart64 directory to your transcode 360 directory. Now create a shortcut with this as the target

“C:\Program Files\Transcode360\hstart64.exe” /NOCONSOLE /RUNAS “Transcode360.exe -console”

Call it whatever you want. Drag it into the startup folder on the start menu.

Now open the transcode360.config file in notepad and change the key that says <add key= ‘BufferDelay’ value= ‘6′ /> to something higher like <add key= ‘BufferDelay’ value= ‘30′ /> depending on your computers speed. You can also change the bitrate if your network is causing latency.

Now within the Media Browser configuration wizard on the extender tab make sure “Enable Transcode 360” is checked. You should be good to go. If it causes errors on the extender you most likely need to tweak the config file. This has a much better result than the built in MKV support.

Encode360 Still A Great Solution

2009-05-25T23:50:00.019-07:00

This is a guest post written by Adam Thursby and originally posted at The Digital Media Zone as a follow up to Using EncodeHD for Portable Devices. Find even more great articles from Adam as well as regular podcasts over at The DMZ!

I wrote yesterday how EncodeHD can help you convert your video files for use on your portable devices. It’s perfectly suited and with the list of supported hardware, it should work for just about anyone. The one issue with using it for Media Center or playback on the Xbox 360 is the limitations imposed by the 360 on the mp4 format which EncodeHD converts your files to. The 360 doesn’t support AC3 audio and therefore you lose surround sound.

Luckily there’s a solution for this and it’s located in the same place. EncodeHD replaced Encode360, the first conversion application from Dan Cunningham. Encode360 converts your files to wmv using ffdshow and Windows Media Encoder. Using wmv is the (pretty much) perfect solution due to the fact that it’s fully supported in MCE and on the 360 as an extender. Where the problem comes in is that MS is no longer developing Windows Media Encoder which is used in the conversion process. This has rendered Encode360 a bit dated (so it seemed) and forced Dan to move forward with the replacement app, EncodeHD.

Having loved using Encode360, I decided it was time to give it a try in Windows 7 to see if the application could still work. I use EncodeHD for converting files for my Zune since it’s quick, easy to use and and the output files play perfectly. When it comes to my 360 and MCE however, I want my surround sound. That’s why I was so happy to find out that Encode360, while no longer supported, is still available for download.

Installing the application is a pretty straight forward process. There are a few things you’ll need first though. Windows Media Player 11 is required but we’re up to 12 in Windows 7 so you shouldn’t have to worry about upgrading that. You’ll also need Windows Media Encoder and a Hotfix that is available. After you’ve installed these two executables, you’re ready to install Encode360. Something to keep in mind here: Unlike EncodeHD, Encode360 is an installer package. When you run the installer, the package installs K-Lite codec pack on your machine (optional but codecs are required). We all know that codecs can be absolute havoc with video playback in Media Center and other applications. I’m lucky enough to have a laptop to use for file conversions so that nothing touched my main MCE machine. Be sure you know what you’re doing before installing Encode360.

Once you have the app installed, it looks a lot like EncodeHD as far as layout. You can drag and drop files for conversion and then choose your settings. You can see at the top of the app that you can choose your resolution. I typically try to match the input file so there’s no change. The only time I lower it is if I happen to be converting a file for the Zune.

Before you start converting files you’ll want to be sure and head into “Advanced Settings”. This is where you can choose your bitrate, exact wmv encoding you want along with a plethora or other settings:

As you can see from above, this screen will also provide you more details on the file you have selected for conversion including the actual input resolution so you can match it up if you want to.

While Encode360 is no longer supported, if you either know how to manage codecs on your PC or if you have a spare PC you can use for conversion, it’ll work in Windows 7 and provide you a way to get different video codecs to play nicely with Media Center and extenders.

Hack7MC Reader Q&A (5/25/2009)

2009-05-25T23:50:00.017-07:00

So far Reader Q&A here on Hack7MC has been a great success. However, it hasn’t had a very regular schedule. From now on Reader Q&A should appear regularly on Mondays with user submitted questions. If you have a question for this weekly feature be sure to send it in at the bottom of this post for a future Reader Q&A!

Question #1 from Ili

I have an “Hauppauge PVR-150″ Video capture card. The card have a S-Video in and a Cable tuner in. The S-Video is connected to my Digital cable Box and the tuner connected to my analog cable. In 7MC I can configure the Digital TV with the TV guide and all and the analog TV with the TV guide and all But I can’t configure the Analog TV and the Digital TV together because when I configure the second connection Its overwrite the previous setting in the 7MC How can I configure Analog TV and the Digital TV together in the 7MC thank you very much

Answer

I’m not sure why this would be happing, you should be able to configure both separately (using the manual configuration option) and have both the analog and digital guide. However, if that doesn’t work there may be a potential solution.

Back when we were playing with backing up the recording schedule we found that if your entered the lineup information you ended up with duplicate channels. You may be able to use one of these lineup backup files to restore your analog lineup after setting up your digital lineup though.

After you’ve setup your analog tuner and have downloaded the latest guide information, open Windows Explorer and grab the latest backup file from C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\eHome\mcepgx-x-x\lineup. Then open a command prompt and type in C:\Windows\ehome\loadmxf.exe –i FILELOCATION and see if that works for you.

Question #2 from Mihailo

I tried using WMC7 while it was still in beta and was surprised by the now well known problem with Windows Media Foundation. Since I like to have subtitles with my movies I couldn’t use the subtitle filter (ffdshow or VobSub) with Win7 codecs. Is there a WMF filter that can read srt subtitles or is there a software that can make WMC use DirectShow without messing up WOW64 and System32 files and folders?

Answer

Currently, no. Soon? Maybe. The folks over at DivxLabs have got a Windows Media Foundation codec project in the works that should allow you to playback video using the built-in WMF features. Unfortunately, at this point it’s still very beta and doesn’t yet include subtitle support (or an x64 build).

Question #3 from Scott Kingery

Is it still true that, like Vista, only Microsoft codecs/containers (wmv, wtv, dvr-ms) support fast forward and rewind?

Answer

In a default install Media Center uses the Windows Media Foundation codecs and should support fast forward in any format that the codec supports natively. However, fast forwarding like that available in MS formats (fast forwarding with audio) will likely not be available outside the standard file formats. Essentially, if you need to install a splitter to play the format you’ll likely not get fast forward support in Media Center.

2009-05-20T06:22:00.007-07:00

Everyone of us use one form or other of USB drives starting from normal storage devices to Ipods. And most people who ue these devices know that there is a problem often while removing the USB devices with windows telling you that it cant eject USB device as it is in use. This happens even if you see that all the files on USB drive is closed.

There are many reasons behind this behaviour of windows. One of these is the anti-virus scanners. The realtime scanning by antivirus solutions stop USB devices from being ejected if some files on it are being scanned for viruses/trojans. Other reasons include temporary files being created and also the restore function of windows running in background.

Here is a tool that can help you eject your USB devices easily in just one click. This small tool forces all processes associated with USB drive to close/end thus helping you to eject USB drive easily.

USB Disk Ejector allows you to quickly remove USB devices in Windows. It can be run as a non-visual command line program or a normal gui program. Its very useful if you have a USB flash/pen drive.

It’s especially useful when dealing with multiple USB devices and for Vista users who don’t want the ‘now safe to remove this device’ dialog box to appear.

Auslogics Disk Defrag 2.0.0.0

2009-05-20T06:21:00.015-07:00

Disk fragmentation leads to system slowdowns, PC crashes, slow startup and shutdown and sometimes to system failures. Auslogics Disk Defrag is designed for fast optimization of today´s modern hard disks. Get the maximum performance out of your expensive hardware investments, improve your computer´s performance and stability.

Hard disks are by far the slowest component in your computer. CPU and memory work much faster than hard disks because they do not have moving parts. Therefore fragmented disks often become a bottleneck of the system performance. Besides causing slowdowns, fragmentation makes the hard drive disk heads move frequently when reading files which leads to freeze-ups and system crashes. It is important to keep your disks defragmented and optimized as much as possible.Features:

Increase your productivity - no more waiting for files to open

Defragment disks in only a few minutes

Useful disk fragmentation map and detailed fragmentation report

What’s New in version 2.0.0.0:

added the capability to defragment all drives at once

added the capability to analyze any disk

added full Unicode encoding support

defragmentation speed improved by 30%

added animated legend

added the option to shut down computer after defragmentation

added full 64 bit Windows 7 support

added full screen option

added exceptions list, that allows to skip all kinds of folders

added capability to skip files with large fragments

improved report, added status descriptions

added more console version commands

improved scheduler, added new start time setup options

improved defragmentation chart and report look

improved defragmentation chart behaviour, now it shows file locations more correctly

improved latest Windows 7 versions support

CPU usage during defragmentation decreased by 5% (normal CPU load)

improved external drives, USB devices, and SSD support

now defragmentation progress works correctly

Putting new buttons on toolbars in MS Office (before the 2007 version)

2009-05-20T06:21:00.013-07:00

A while ago I published an article that suggested that rather than printing directly from web browsers, such as Internet Explorer, it is better to copy the information that you want into a word processor and print it from there. In that article I mentioned the use of the 'Paste Special' in Word, which enables you to remove formatting from the information that you paste. In this article I will explain how to put a button for 'Paste Special' onto the toolbar in Microsoft Word 2003 and other earlier versions. This technique can also be used to add any of the other available buttons onto any toolbar.

Open up Word and right-click on one of the toolbars, which are at the top of the screen below the menu and look something like this:

From the menu, select 'Customize...', which will open a dialog box. Click on the 'Commands' tab.

Select 'Edit' from the left-hand menu, because the 'Paste Special' tool is listed in the 'Edit' menu. Scroll down through the list on the right-hand until you see 'Paste Special' then left-click on it and hold the mouse button down. The mouse pointer should change to an arrow pointing at a rectangle with a square to the bottom right, which will have an X in it initially.

Move the pointer up to the toolbars and release the mouse button when it is in a suitable position: next to the normal paste button for example. You will notice that the mouse pointer changed appearance again when you hovered over the toolbar, with the X being replaced with a + to let you know that the new button can be placed there.

Your toolbar should now look something like this:

If you wish to remove a button from the toolbar, follow the instructions above for opening the 'Customize' dialog, but rather than drag from the dialog box to the toolbar, click on the button you wish to remove from the toolbar and drag it into the dialog box.

This process also works in the other Microsoft Office applications such as Excel and PowerPoint. With Office 2007, Microsoft have replaced the old tried-and-tested menu and toolbar arrangement with something called 'ribbons' (as pictured below) and there is no way to customise these in the same way as detailed above.

This is an edited version of a post that first appeared on Bloody Computer! on 19th November 2007.

Checking MKV Playback with Matroska Diag

2009-05-20T06:21:00.011-07:00

Sometimes getting your MKV files to play can be more trouble than it should rightly be. Since Matroska is a container format playing back MKV files could require any combination of compatible codecs. Luckily, there are a few utilities out there which can help you diagnose any issues that may arise. One such utility is Matroska Diag, which will let you know exactly what codecs are needed for any given MKV file.

Getting started with Matroska Diag is easy, just download the program from the Matroska.org website and run. There’s no need to install anything. Opening the program you’ll see that using the program is just as simple. Just drag and drop your MKV file onto the window and Matroska Diag will do the rest.

Once Matroska Diag has completed processing your file you’ll be able to browse through the process that your current setup goes through in displaying that MKV file. You will be presented with a list of codecs used for audio, video and subtitles (if applicable) with your current codec setup in an easy to read format.

Should you happen to be missing a codec, say for subtitle playback, Matroska Diag will let you know that as well. You will even be presented with a link to an available codec to solve the issue. In this case there’s no codec installed to deal with the subtitle track and MPC’s standalone VSFilter is the suggested cure.

For those more interested in the deep down technical details of how the file is being rendered and the process by which these particular codecs where chosen for playback those details are provided as well. Matroska Diag will present you will a full rundown of the process with a step by step readout which can help nail down any unexpected problems.

All these features packed into a simple to use program make Matroska Diag a handy tool to keep around. Be sure to head over and download a copy to keep handy in your Media Center toolbox.

Be sure to stick around for more handy applications to keep in your Media Center toolbox! Subscribe to the Hack7MC RSS Feed to get the latest delivered straight to your feed reader or sign-up for email updates.

Hack7MC’s Troubleshooting Toolbox

2009-05-20T06:21:00.009-07:00

There comes a time when everyone needs a few good tools to take care of any potential problems that arise in their Media Center setup. Today we’d like to introduce the Hack7MC Troubleshooting Toolbox. This handy collection of free tools will help you get through any problems you might encounter in your everyday Media Center experience.

Currently the toolbox contains copies of Radlight’s Filter Manager, Graphstudio x86 and x64, Matroska Diag, MediaInfo, and the registry fix for Take Ownership. Together these tools provide a fairly comprehensive solution to most any trouble you encounter, specifically codecs and filter setups.

Also, included in the package is a quick set of directions for using each tool in the package. Open the included Help.html file in the package to get directions and assistance using each of the tools. Of course you can always come over to hack7mc.com and get help here as well!

If you have any other programs you’d like to see included in the toolbox drop a line in the comments section below or through the contact page. Of course, only free programs will be accepted to the toolbox and open-source software is a bonus as well.

Hopefully together we can build a comprehensive downloadable package to help beginners and advanced users alike troubleshoot problems with their Media Center setups. Download the package today and save it somewhere for that rainy day.

Why We Use MKV (and You Should Too)

2009-05-20T06:21:00.007-07:00

MKV, or Matroska as it’s officially known, is easily one of the most favored container formats available for Media Center enthusiasts. But what makes this format so special? Why not just use the old tried and true MP4 or AVI formats? Well there are plenty of small features that make up the Matroska specification that make it special to so many of us. Let go over a few of them now.

#1 - It’s Open Source

Quite frankly being open source is one of the best steps a media format can take towards acceptance. This means that anyone who wishes can add the format to their product without paying outrageous licensing fees. The end result is that the format is widely useable in most media player software and the tools for creating MKVs are extremely well polished to boot.

#2 – Awesome Free Tools

Number two goes hand in hand with number one. The free source community has some of the best programmers there are. It attracts these people as a sense of community and philanthropic duty. They also aren’t afraid to ask for help from the community and they often get it. That’s just the nature of open-source. The end result is some of the most usable, highly developed tools for utilizing a format ever created.

#3 – What It Can Hold

Matroska is a container format, which means that it only holds the content. What makes MKV special as a container is what it can hold. Matroska has the flexibility to contain almost any audio/video format, including most lossless types, making it perfect for high definition content. What sets it even farther above other formats such as MP4 though is it’s ability to also pack in multiple subtitle languages, track information, multiple audio streams and more. Everything in one file!

Reason to not use Matroska

Even with all these great reasons for using the MKV format there are still a few caveats which need to be considered. For Media Center users these include extender compatibility. Media Center Extenders tend to not play very nicely with MKV files depending on the combination of codecs and the version of Media Center used. Reports of support for the format coming and going with each patch are common.

Also, Microsoft seems to be only a fair-weather fan of the format. Support for MKV in Windows 7 is sketchy and requires some effort to accomplish. The Windows Media Foundation’s support of the format seems to be as picky as general extender support. Though there are some options in the works from the likes of DivxLabs there’s still no comprehensive publicly available solution for Windows Media Foundation.

This means that out of the box Media Center enthusiasts need to make some adjustments to the way the system handles media playback. Far from a fault of the format this points more to a failing on Microsoft’s part in implementing it’s new “fail safe” media handler.

Conclusion

Though Microsoft’s support of the format is borderline neglectful, Matroska’s ability to utilize so many features is inescapable. The portability of the media is only bound to increase with time as the open-source format lends itself to inclusion in any future media players and devices. For those creating MKV files the tools available are some of the best, not to mention free.

If you’re just starting to convert your collection for digital storage MKV is the clear winner. Don’t hesitate to convert all your movies to MKV and keep an eye on Hack7MC, we’ll help you set up your Media Center to utilize this superior format.

How to add Recycle Bin Icon to Windows 7 Taskbar

2009-05-16T22:22:00.051-07:00

Unfortunately Windows 7 doesn’t allow you to pin any icon directly to your taskbar. But there’s a way you can get it done. Here’s how you do it:

Firstly, Right click on your desktop and select New> Shortcut.

In the location of the item box type in the following:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe shell:RecycleBinFolder

Once done, click on ‘Next’.

Now you need to enter a name for the icon, type in ‘Recycle Bin’ and click ‘Finish’.

The newly created shortcut will be on your desktop, now you need to add the recycle bin icon to it. To do so, right click on the shortcut and select Properties.

Then, click Change Icon as shown above.

Change the icon file to:

%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll

Hit Enter and choose the Recycle Bin Icon and click ‘OK’.

That’s it! Now you can simply drag the icon into the taskbar. The recycle bin icon will be placed there. Once it’s placed, you’re free to delete the shortcut that you previously created on your desktop.

AutoShut- Shutdown Pc Automatically

2009-05-16T22:22:00.049-07:00

Here’s a small app which will allow you to shut down your computer automatically. This is pretty similar to the previous Automatic Shutdown Software that I had mentioned earlier. But the difference between the two apps is AutoShut only allows you to shut down your computer, you cannot reboot, and log off like you would in Smart Shutdown.

AutoShut is pretty small in size and light on resources. The user interface is quite friendly too. You can configure the shutdown time in three ways; in form of a countdown, In Time, Application Watch. Countdown option will allow you to set a specific countdown after which the computer shuts down. The Time option will allow you to enter a specific time at which the computer will shut down. And the last option- Application watch allows you to shut down your computer after a particular program/ process ends.

Use OpenDNS to browse Internet faster, safer and smarter - Part1

2009-05-16T22:22:00.043-07:00

How often you get a error that page cannot be displayed when you try to open a webpage. I think its too often. Even with a good quality website sometime when you try to open gives you this error page. When we refresh tha page , the site opens. We think its the site that is having problem. But its other way.

The real culprit many times is your ISP DNS servers which are used for resolving DNS (Domain Name System) for the websites leading to cannot display pages for webpages. So its the DNS servers of Your ISP making your webpages load slower.

So whats the solution. Is there any??? Perhaps we have a solution in the form of OpenDNS. OpenDNS offers DNS resolution for you as an alternative to Internet service provider’s DNS servers and that too for free.

As per OpenDNS own website :

OpenDNS is the leading provider of free security and infrastructure services that make the Internet safer through integrated Web content filtering, anti-phishing and DNS. OpenDNS services enable consumers and network administrators to secure their networks from online threats, reduce costs and enforce Internet-use policies. OpenDNS is used today by millions of users and organizations around the world.

Its a free service for everyone including home user and enterprise ones. So some of you may ask, why use openDNS ? Here’s some of the reasons. Take a look

Protection from anti-phishing and fraudulent phishing scams.

Web content filtering to block up to 50 categories of content.

Globally distributed network makes Web sites load faster on your network.

Anycast routing technology makes your Internet more reliable, freeing you of intermittent outages.

Browser Shortcuts let your users map a short term to a long URL via the address bar.

Typo correction auto-corrects the most common typos in top-level domains.

One thing that helps OpenDNS earn some money is thru the pages that open when you type something which doesnt exist. Its like ads on parked domains / pages. That seems fine as we all know thyese days we see lots of ads on non existant webpages.

If you want to change to openDNS , you just need to change your DNS server address in your connections to 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220.

If you dont know how to change theese setting , visit this page.

I will write more on what OpenDns can do for you in next post. So comeback tommorow.

Use OpenDNS to browse Internet faster, safer and smarter - Part2

2009-05-16T22:22:00.041-07:00

Yesterday i talked about how to use OpenDNS for browsing internet faster. After you have changed your DNS servers to OpenDNS as described in my previous post, you can customise the way you nrowse internet.

You can customise which websites to allow and which one to block. Apart from that you can customise these setting for your children in just one click. Also it will help stop phising attacks and viruses right at the DNS server level.

For accessing these settings and customising them, you need to create a account with OpenDNS on their website. The account creation is just like anyother signup and is free.

Just after you create a account with opendns , you need to add your computer there which is easy enough. After that you will see a screen like this.

In this settings page, you can see different options for you to play upon. When you click settings button, you will find in next page different options for you to customise. First one is for default settings.

Here you can just click on minimal , low, moderate orhigh setting button. What each setting will do is described below it. Depending on your settings you can block porn, phising attacks, spambot and much more making your system more secure and safe from different bad stuff. Also you can use it to customise what your children will browse.

If you dont want these default settings, you can try custom setting where you can block individual categories.

If you want more advance settings, you can click advance settings and you will find tons of settings to play on. You can even block individual domains in the settings.

These settings themselves define what they do. I wont be going in detail about each one of these.

If you got any doubt , just leave a comment here and i will be more than happy to answer you.

So use OpenDNS and enjoy a faster, safer and smarter browsing.

I am talking about JDownloader. Here’s what the site has to say about it.

JDownloader is open source, platform independent and written completely in Java. It simplifies downloading files from One-Click-Hosters like Rapidshare.com or Megaupload.com - not only for users with a premium account but also for users who don’t pay. It offers downloading in multiple paralell streams, captcha recognition, automatical file extraction and much more.

JDownloader is absolutely free of charge. Additionally, many “link encryption” sites are supported - so you just paste the “encrypted” links and JD does the rest. JDownloader can import CCF, RSDF and the new DLC files.

Platform independent. (Windows, Linux, Mac, ..)

Runs on Java 1.5 or higher

Download several files parellel

Download with multiple connections

JD has an own powerful OCR module (JAntiCaptcha)

Decrypt RSDF, CCF and DLC Containerfiles

Decryptplugins for many services. e.g. sj.org, UCMS, WordPress, RLSLog….

Youtube, Vimeo, clipfish video and Mp3 Download

About 110 hoster and over 300 decrypt plug-ins

Reconnect with JDLiveHeaderScripts: (1400 router supported)

Some incrementality problems were fixed when you have a syntax error during a clean compilation of a project.

An issue with anchors to argument causing a crash of the compiler was fixed (note that anchors to arguments are obsolete since not part of the ECMA specification).

A code generation bug involving object test and creation expression was fixed.

A new way to override settings from a library was put in place.

You can control and watch your finances and the traffic of your vehicles and goods.

You can play as long as you like. Start in 1880 and finish in 2050. There will be new vehicles and buildings throughout this time. Cities will grow and merge forming metropolises.

Play against the AI or on your own. Only if you are in debt for three months, you are bankrupt and the game is over.
