You might think if you could hide the uTorrent client from running in system tray and also disabling the Windows Task Manager. This can be one of the good ideas to get files you need in time.

Well, that was only the case assumption. Let me show you how one can hide uTorrent from system tray.

As far as in my mind, I can do this by two methods. One is by changing the default icon of uTorrent client that appears in system tray to some other regular icons like internet connection status icon. And another is just by removing uTorrent from system tray.

Later one seems more practical and logical as compared to prior one. Let me show you how to do this.

Create a new shortcut of uTorrent client in your desktop by going to installation location of uTorrent client. The installation directory is usually %systemroot%/Program Files/ uTorrent

After you’ve created shortcut in your desktop, Right Click and choose Properties in the shortcut icon.

The Properties window will load up. In the target field, you’ll see:

We are just 4 words away from hiding the uTorrent client. Add the parameter HIDE to it just after one space.

Now the final result in the target field will be:

“C:\Program Files\uTorrent\uTorrent.exe” /HIDE

Click OK.

Double click the shortcut icon to start the program.

What if you have uTorrent in startup? The solution is, either you can copy the shortcut icon to startup folder or do some registry tweaks.

Registry tweaks to hide the uTorrent client in startup.

First you need to know which registry key is actually controlling the startup of uTorrent client. To find it out, open RUN command and type msconfig.

In the msconfig window, go to Startup tab. Scroll to uTorrent.exe (If you have the startup then it will be there). Note the registry location.

Again in RUN window, type regedit, navigate to the location that you’ve noted. HKCU, HKLM, etc are initials of the root registry folder. For example, HKCU stands for HKey Current User and HKLM is for HKey Local Machine.

After you navigate to Run, you’ll see uTorrent value at the right column.

Double click on the utorrent. In value data add /HIDE after single space as we did above. Click OK.

Now you are done.

Open msconfig again to confirm it,

In next system restart whenever your systems starts, the utorrent client icon will not be visible in system tray.

But when you openTask Manager, you can see the process running.

This confirms that your utorrent client is running but invisible to you.

Hope this tutorial was helpful.

Note: Don’t hesitate to update your uTorrent client. This tricks doesnot works in lower versions of uTorrent.

1) Go to http://www.amiblocked.com/ and simply filling out the top of the page.
2 ) Type the screenname, and simply click submit
3) The page will then tell you if your contact is Online or Offline, and you can figure out if they blocked you or not.

While posting, what you usually do is add more tag:

When you add margin, everything above more tag the including image just above it also will be visible:

You may want somewhat similar features like this blog, as you can see that we don’t have irregular image in our main page.

Now let me teach you how to do this in your template. To do this you must have basic knowledge in html and must have little experience in html programming. But actually we are not doing any coding here, we’ll be just copying some code and replacing it with older one.

Usually most of the Wordpress template uses following code snippet to load post summary in index page.

Actually Wordpress by default has availed this feature to you. But this excerpt will not be visible until you replace the above code snippet with another one.

WordPress Excerpt is an optional summary or description of a post; in short, a post summary. The part of a post that appears on the front page when you use the More tag is called teaser. If you have post images showing up in your main excerpt page, then you must know that it’s using teaser rather than excerpt.

Now, how to replace teaser with excerpt.

You can easily accomplish this by following the method I guide you through.

In your Wordpress Admin page, navigate to Appearance > Editor.

At the right side of the page, click on Main Index Template.

Now in the code editor, search for following code snippet:

<?php the_content(); ?>

Now replace the_content with the_excerpt.

<?php the_content();?> must be replaced to <?php the_excerpt();?>.

Now update the page.

Now whenever you type anything on excerpt page, it will be posted as summary of the post and will appear on the main page.

Even if you don’t type anything in excerpt, the main page will automatically load first 50 words excluding image.

With simple tweak, you can turn your PC on from LAN. This will be a lot help if you have FTP server enabled from your desktop and you may want to access it from internet occasionally. Turning your PC always on will not be good as it will consume lots of energy. Even more your PC will be much more venerable for uninvited access.

To prevent this remotely turning on your PC can be good alternative.

To turn your PC on, all you need is the MAC (Physical address) address of the PC that you are turning on and Wake up on LAN or Power management from PCI enabled in the BIOS in the PC you want to turn on Remotely.

To check if it is enabled or not, go to BIOS setting in your PC by restarting and pressing Delete key(may varry according to motherboard). Go to Power Management Options, search for Wake up on LAN or Power management from PCI or any similar terms and enable it.

If you don’t see any option to manage power for PCI adapters then it might be possible to do it in Windows mode.

To do this, boot your computer to windows, go to Device Manager. Under network adapter choose the Network card that will be used to connect to LAN, i.e. your ethernet card.

Right click on it and choose properties. Go to Advanced tab.

Now in Property box scroll down to Shutdown Wake up or any similar terms. Select it and Enable it.

You may require a reboot after this.

Now your PC is ready to be turned on from LAN. This will enable to manage power from PCI devices like Ethernet cards. What it actually does is, configures BIOS to turn the PCI Ethernet card to grab some power even if PC is Powered Off. If any computer from LAN sends some command to PCI card then will will power on your PC.

Now anyting left to do is to have a tool to turn your remote PC own from remote location. I often use this tool since its free and customizable. With this free tool you only need to enter IP address of your PC and it will automatically get the MAC address of it. If required you have password field to enter.

Pressing Turn On button will turn on the PC with specified MAC address or IP address.

You can also check if the PC is on or off.

Oops! nearly forgot to mention the download link. Here it is:  Fusion WakeUp On LAN

To connect Windows 7 OS with Windows XP, change the workgroup name of either one of the OS. I recommend you changing the workgroup name of Windows XP from MSHOME to WORKGROUP.

To change Workgroup in Windows XP, right click on my computer and click on properties.

In Computer name tab, check the workgroup. By default it is MSHOME. (In my case I named it WORKGROUP).

To change it, click on Change button.

A new window will pop up. There you can define your own workgroup name.

Now both of your OSes have same workgroup name.

Now in windows 7 PC, go to control panel > Network and Sharing Center.

At the left sidebar, click on Change advanced sharing settings.

In new window, Turn on Network discovery, File and printer sharing and Public folder sharing by clicking on the respective radio button.

Under File sharing connections, Click on Files sharing for devices that use 40- or 56- bit encryption. (Windows XP may not support 128 bit encryption) .

And turn of Password protected sharing.

Do the same for Public and Home or Network connection

Now you may run Home Network wizard (Control Panel>Setup Home Network) in windows XP. Then there you’ll have easy LAN connection. Make sure that workgroup name during wizard is setup to WORKGROUP not MSHOME

Now you can easily access files and folder and even internet and printers from network.

You can see the files in network.

To make this happen, all you need is Microsoft Outlook installed on the PC which you want to control from your cell phone

Now let’s begin with the tutorial.

First, you need the batch files to perform the Shutdown, Hibernate operation.

For example,

shutdown -r -t 10 -c “shutting down”

Copy this code and paste it in notepad, save it as shutdown.bat

Now open up Microsoft Outlook. I am assuming that you have already configured it for your Email and I am not going to teach you about setting mail in Microsoft Outlook. Now we will need to make it so that Outlook checks your inbox about every minute.

You can do this by going to Tools>Options. Then click on Mail Setup tab, and then, the Send/Receive button.

Make sure that the Schedule an automatic send/receive every… box is checked, and set the number of minutes to 1 or anytime you may like. Now you may close all of these dialog boxes.

Now go to Tools>Rules and Alerts. Click on E-mail Rules tab. In new window select Check messages when they arrive and click Next.

Now in next page, check on, on this machine only and with specific words in the subject.

After checking these two values, click on specific words underlined.

Search Text window will open, in the input field type the command that shuts down the PC. You can use any commands. For prevention of accidental execution I kept %shutdown% as a command. Click on Add button after you are done and click on OK.

Now click on Next.

In the next window check mark on start application. In the lower screen, click on application link.

Now you’ll be welcomed to your familiar file open window. Load all files. And select the batch file that you’ve created to shutdown your PC.

If everything went well you’ll see the screen similar to below:

Click on Next, again click on next (don’t choose any things in this step). And finally click on Finish button.

You’ll have %shutdown% alert shown in the E-mail Rules tab.

Now, when you send a message from your phone to your e-mail address with the Subject  %shutdown% your computer will trigger shutdown.bat file and instantly executes the command in that batch file finally leading to shutdown the PC.

You can use any batch file to execute any command.

1) Go to apachefriends.org and download the package you want. I recommend Basic package .exe 51 MB

2) Install XAMP

3)After this will appear XAMP Control panel, other way to launch Control panel is to click on xampp-control in C/xamp/xamp.

4) Launch web browser as mozilla firefox , and type http://localhost in address bar

5)Choose language

6) If you installed XAMPP successfully , then you should see something as below

Problems with XAMPP installation:

1) Apache Won’t Start

If you try to start apache from the control panel but it won’t start.If you get a green “running” notification from the control panel, but it only appears for a second then goes away. Then , there is an enormous chance that port 80 (and possibly 3306) is in use by something else. For example some software as skype or similar can cause this problem .

To fix it, press crtl+alt+delete , start task manager, and end process which which causes problems

2) Missing or insufficient write permissions

Because of missing or insufficient write permissions in “C:\Program Files”, I recommend to use alternate folder for XAMPP (“C:\xampp” or “C:\meinverzeichnis\xampp”).

3) You can’t start services with the Control Panel

You can’t start services with the Control Panel: You have installed Apache/MySQL in “C:\xampp” as Windows service. But you can’t start/stop the services with the “XAMPP Control Panel” or can’t uninstall them.
Solution: Use the service management console from Windows or disable UAC.

To disable the UAC, use the program “msconfig”. In “msconfig” go to “Tools”, select “disable user account control” and verify your selection. Now you must restart Windows. At the same place, you can enable the UAC again.

If you already have website (www.domianname.com) then you may skip the domain registration process and directly start  from Final steps for uploading.

But if you are beginner then follow the steps from here.

I am using awardspace’s web host to demonstrate this example.

Go to www.awardspace.com.

Click on the Free Web Hosting plan

In next page, choose Free subdomain and click Next.

Fill up the form with necessary information and agree their TOS.

Now in next page. Choose FREE Web in Plan Name and click Next.

Now they’ll send you an email to the email a/c you’ve just submitted in the form.

Open the email.

You’ll get following details in the email with username and password.

Note it down for future reference.

Now go to www.awardspace.com/members.html

In the Hosting Control Panel, fill up your login details and click LOGIN.

After successfully logging in, click Website Manager in the horizontal navigation bar.

Since we are using free domain name (i.e. free subdomain service provided by awardspace), we’ll have to manage subdomain by going to subdomain manager. Click on Subdomain Manager.

Fill up the form with your new website address and click on Add Subdomain button.

Now if the domain name is not already taken then you’ll be welcomed to the page with subdomain name listed.

Note down the path of the subdomain name. This is the folder in the web host where all of your web page files must reside.

Now open Windows explorer or My Docuemnts. And in the address bar type the ftp address of your web domain.

In this case it’s ftp://youcanhack.awardspace.info.

In the address bar the small folder icon will change to folder with globe symbol in it.

Right click on the blank space in the ftp window and click on Login As.

Fill up the login form with your username and password which was provided in your email.

Click on Login (Save password if necessary).

You’ll have the folder with your web domain name entered in it.

This is where you’ll have to copy the web page files that you’ve created.

Also remember that you must have web page file named index.html/index.php or anything to enable youcanhack.awardspace.info to redirect to your homepage. In this case you can rename your main homepage html file to index.html.

Hope this tutorial was helpful.

To allow file and printer sharing, name each computer with a unique name but give both computers the same workgroup name. You can do this from the System Properties window. To open System Properties, go to My computer, right click on any blank area and choose properties. Or simply you can right click on my computer icon and choose properties.

In Computer Name tab click Change to input your computer name and workgroup name. You will be asked to restart your computer after the computer name and workgroup change.

The computer name defined in this step becomes the Bluetooth device name for this computer that will be displayed on another computer this computer is discovered.

Now plug in Bluetooth adapters to both of your computer. Make sure that Bluetooth device is properly installed on both of your PC’s properly by going to device manager.

Verify that the Bluetooth adapter is identified as a Bluetooth Network Connection under Personal Area Network with Microsoft’s Bluetooth stack driver while on the second computer with third-party Bluetooth stack driver; it is identified as a Local Area Connection under LAN or High-Speed Internet.

Make the second Bluetooth-enabled computer discoverable by going to Bluetooth settings and configure its “service properties” to include PAN Networking service.

In the first computer, right click on Bluetooth taskbar icon and select “Join a Personal Area Network” to open Bluetooth Personal Area Network window.

You can also do this by going to Network Connections and right-clicking the icon and select “View Bluetooth Network Devices” or clicking View Bluetooth Network Devices link on the left sidebar.

On the Bluetooth Personal Area Network window, click “Add” to open the “Add Bluetooth Device Wizard” if the second computer hasn’t been connected before.

Now we’re done with setting up the basic things. Now we’ll have to pair the devices.

On the Add Bluetooth Device Wizard, tick “My device is set up and ready to be found”. Click Next.

Wizard will search for Bluetooth devices in range.

Select the second computer and click next.

You will be asked to input a passkey or PIN code before starting a connection to the second computer. You can create your own passkey or let Windows create a random passkey for you. Click Next.

On the second computer, you will be prompted to input a passkey. Type the same passkey as the one created on the first computer and cick OK.

If the everything went well, you’ll be welcomed to next page with Finish button enabled. Click Finish. You will be back to the Bluetooth Personal Area Network window. Now the second computer is listed under Direct Connections. Select it and click Connect to start a Personal Area Network connection.

Now, both computers have been directly connected in a Personal Area Network. First computer with Microsoft stack is the Client while the second one with Thirdparty stack is the host.

Now you can share files same like in LAN but with slower bandwidth
