HOW TO RIP DVD'S WITH IMGBURN

If you know about using the VLC player to rip a DVD to an MPEG-1 file, then remember it’s not the only way. Technically, this gets the job done, but there are other options available. Storage is very cheap, so why not retain the full image quality and size as well as all the menus, languages, subtitles and bonus material from the original DVD? Using ImgBurn for free (www.imgburn.com), you can rip the entire disc to an ISO file and then use the VLC player to watch the DVD just like you would have if you had the physical disc in your drive.

BURN AN ISO IMAGE IN WINDOWS 7

Hey, do you know what an ISO image is? Basically, it’s a ready-to-go file that can be burned to a CD or DVD, but there’s more to it – click here if you’re interested. What I’m talking about here, however, is Windows 7′s ability to burn ISO images without any extra software required!

If you have an ISO image on your computer and you’d like to burn it to a CD or DVD simply locate the ISO file, right-click it and select Burn Disc Image.

ISO IMAGE

Ever wonder what this term involves? You may know that it has something to do with the digital world, but what exactly does it entail? Well, I’m here to fill you in today!

First of all, an ISO image is known as a .iso file and it is just another term for a disk image or any optical disk image. It’s basically an exact copy of an already existing file, which is why it is commonly associated with CD and DVD burning. An ISO file is usually created through special software that allows you to actually create the exact copy of a CD or DVD’s contents. Along with that, you’re able to edit the files as needed. So, for example, if you ever burn a copy of a music CD, you’re creating an ISO image in the process. This obviously holds true for anything you burn onto a disk (music, videos, pictures, documents and so on).

Now, you can do this with any type of burning software. Your computer may have come with some type of program already installed on it or maybe you went out and bought something different. Either way, if you have a burner and the software to go along with it, you’ve been creating ISO images without even knowing it all this time. Cool, huh?!

HOW TO GET BACK YOUR FORGOT PASSWORD OF YOUR WINDOWS

Have you ever lost your Windows password? Did you ever want to know how secure your Windows password really is? Well, you’ve come to the right place. In this tutorial we’ll talk about a program called Ophcrack, which is used to “crack” Windows passwords. This program works for Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
1. Go to the Ophcrack website and download the program. If you want to crack the password of a computer that uses XP, download the “XP LiveCD”. For a computer that uses either Windows Vista or Windows 7, download the “Vista LiveCD”.
 

CHANGING THE BOOT SEQUENCE OF YOUR COMPUTER

When you first start your computer up, your screen is black with all kind of stuff that is written out and kind of flies by and you normally don’t sit and read it because when you really think about it, who cares what it is? I never did – all I cared about was getting to Windows as quickly as possible (I’m telling you, I am all about the speed).

Well, that black screen with all of the junk on it when you first boot (start) up your computer is what you see while your computer is starting to test hardware and other parts on your computer to make sure that everything is a-okay so that it can proceed into Windows. Your computer only knows how to do this by the chip on your motherboard telling it what to do. This chip is called the BIOS (Basic Input Output System). The BIOS is what’s responsible for checking the CPU, disk drives, the system clock, the system fans, etc. and so it issues the POST (the power-on self tests) to check everything. (I know this is probably way confusing, but bear with me, there’s a reason for all of this, I promise.)

GOOGLE CHROME EXTENSION FOR REMOTE DESKTOP CONNECTION

A remote desktop utility allows you to connect to any computer through a remote desktop connection – as long as both the computers are connected to the internet. There are a good number of scenarios when a remote connection saves the day – following is an example:
You are providing tech support to one of your clients and he needs your help in fixing something.  Sure, you can send all the instructions via an email message, but a remote desktop utility will allow you to use his computer directly from your computer itself. The result is that both you and your client can see his computer screen simultaneously. Additionally, you can completely control the remote computer with your own mouse and keyboard, create files and folders, change Windows settings and do any other possible system task.
A remote desktop connection lets you do everything on the remote computer from your own computer, as if you are operating just another system kept on your table.


Windows XP and Windows 7 both have built-in support for remote desktop connections, so if you know how to get that working, you don’t need a separate remote desktop utility. You might want to read our previous tutorial on setting up remote desktop connection in Windows XP.
However, if you are no geek and need a really simple way to access another remote computer from your browser, try the Google Chrome Remote desktop extension. This extension is a free download and lets you connect to any remote computer from Google Chrome, without having to install another application and go through rigorous setup procedure.
Here are the steps that needs to be followed:
1. Once you have installed the Google Chrome remote desktop extension on the host computer, click the wrench menu at the top right corner and choose Tools > Extensions.













2. This will open the extension page, click on “Launch app” to continue.

3. Sign in with your Google account and grant all the necessary permissions. Don’t worry – you will only have to do this once.
Grant permissions Google Chrome remote desktop
4. Click “Allow access” on the next page and you are done.


Important note: For the remote connection to work, ask your friend to install the extension and set it up as you did on your own computer. Both the host computer and the remote computer needs the extension to be installed and working in Google Chrome.
Sharing Your Computer With A Remote Partner
Sharing your computer with a remote partner is easy -  launch the extension and click on “Share this computer”. The remote desktop utility will provide a 12 digit access code, as shown below:

Copy the 12 digit access code and email this to your friend with whom you want to connect your computer. Do not share this code publicly as anyone who knows this code can connect to your computer and do any activity (e.g delete files, change settings). Please note that this code is generated randomly and it will not be valid once the remote desktop session has expired.
Connecting To The Remote Computer From Your Desktop
If you want to connect to the remote computer of your friend from your desktop, ask him to use the extension and send you his unique 12 digit access code. When you have his access code, launch Google chrome on your computer, open up the extension page and click on “access a shared computer”.

Next, enter the access code ID of your friend and you are done. Both the computers will be connected via Google Chrome’s remote desktop extension and the host user will be able to completely control the remote computer using his own keyboard and mouse. This YouTube video provides a complete walk through of the steps and the remote control environment on host and remote computers.
And since Google Chrome works on Windows, Linux and MAC, it doesn’t really matter which operating system your friend is using. Give this a try!

REMOTE CONNECTION TO THE SYSTEM FOR XP

With the Remote Desktop feature in Windows XP, you are able to control a computer from another office, from home or while traveling. For example, with this feature enabled, you can use the data, applications and network resources that are on your office computer, without even being in your office!
Remote Desktop is the new name for the older Windows based Terminal Services Client that (like with Windows 2000), would allow you to connect to and manage a server remotely for up to two connections. It also allows you to do maintenance on the server and so on. The Remote Desktop in the Windows Server 2003 and XP versions allows the same functionality, except it’s now enhanced and easier to use.
To use the Remote Desktop, you need the following:
  • Windows XP Professional installed on your office computer, or whichever computer you plan to operate remotely. This computer is known as the host.
  • Display data and keyboard data are sent over a WAN or Internet connection, so make sure that you are working over a good connection. To use a Remote Desktop over a slow connection could be a burden. It will work, but it may not respond as well as you would like. You can also use low bandwidth connections. They will also allow you to remotely control a system.
  • Both computers must be connected to the Internet
  • To set up the Remote Desktop, start with the host computer:

CREATING MACROS IN MS EXCEL

Microsoft Excel is the one of the most popular spreadsheet programs used worldwide. It has a variety of features such as data storage, creating reports and charts, using mathematical functions, performing statistical analysis, ability to connect to databases, making use of pivot tables, V-lookups etc. One such very useful feature within Microsoft Excel is the ability to make use of “macros”.
What is a Macro?
A macro is a recording of the commands and actions which are used in order to perform a task. Whenever you find that there is a particular task or series of tasks which you perform often, it may make sense to save the sequence of tasks as a macro for reuse later. Thus the applications of Macros to perform frequently occurring repetitive tasks can help free up your time to be spent more productively on doing something else instead.
How to Create Macros
There are two ways of creating macros within Microsoft Excel
1. The first is the Macro Recorder. Excel provides the ability to create macros by creating a recording of the tasks performed by the user. The Macro recorder is usually made use of for simple macros.
2. The second is using the macro editor which is used when complicated macros are required.
The Macro section can be accessed from within the View tab or the Developer tab in the Ribbon in Microsoft Excel.
Recording a Macro
The sequence of steps below details how to record a macro in Microsoft Excel
1. Open Microsoft Excel by clicking on Start>Programs>Microsoft Office>Microsoft Excel. Alternatively, go to Start>Run and type excel and hit the Enter key.
2. Navigate to the Macros section by clicking on the View tab in the Ribbon. Then select the Macros button.

3. A drop down menu appears in which View Macro and Record Macro options are available.
4. Click on the Record Macro button. A dialog box appears

a. Provide a suitable name for the macro.
b. Set a shortcut key for the macro (if required).
c. Choose where to store the macro, within ‘this workbook’, in a ‘new workbook’ or in a ‘personal macro workbook’. By default, it will be ‘this workbook’.
d. Give a detailed description (if required).
5. Perform the series of actions which you want saved within the macro. This step is very important and must be performed without any error because even the errors will get recorded as part of the macro.
6. Once you are done performing the steps required, click on the Macro button and choose Stop Recording from the drop down menu.
7. In order to run a saved macro, choose the Macro button and click on View Macros. A dialog box appears from which the required macro can be selected and run by clicking the Run button. Alternatively, if you know the keyboard shortcut assigned to that macro while creation, you can make use of the shortcut. Click on the Edit button to open Visual Basic Editor to edit the macro’s code. Click on Step Into to run the macro in Debug mode. Use the Delete key to delete unwanted macros.

Microsoft Excel File Type for Macros
Prior to Office 2003, macros could be used as part of just about any excel file. The normal excel format, .XLS could also store a macro. There was an option to enable or disable macros which needed to be set as required.
However post office 2003, with the introduction of the .XLSX format, Microsoft introduced a separate excel for Macro-enabled excel files known as .XLSM. Therefore, if you wanted to create and use macros within an Excel file, it had to necessarily be stored as .XLSM file. This can be seen while saving the file. Choose the Save as file type Excel Macro-enabled Workbook.

Whenever you open an .XLSM file, by default macros are disabled. This is to protect users from unknown content. Click on the Options button and select Enable his content in order to enable the use of macros in your spreadsheet.

Windows 7 Memory Diagnostics Utility

Windows 7 Memory Diagnostics Utility

If you suspect that your computer has a memory issue, but it’s not being detected automatically, it’s best to make use of the Windows Memory Diagnostics utility that’s built-in to Windows 7.

Here’s how to access it:

Click Start, and in the Search Box type mdsched.exe. You can then either hit the Enter key or click the mdsched icon that appears in the search results above.

The window that pops up will ask you if you want to run the memory diagnostic now or when you next restart your computer. Make sure if you choose to run it now that all of your work has been saved.


Whichever option you click, eventually you’ll end up at a screen that looks like this:



It will take a few minutes for the utility to complete the test. When it’s done, your computer will restart automatically.

…and hopefully you’ll see this message in the bottom-right corner when Windows is fully booted.



If not, you may want to call tech support.

Adding drives to your sendto menu

Ever wanted a quicker way to send a file to a thumb or external hard drive than via drag and drop? Or maybe you want a quicker way to open a family photo in your image editor instead of your default image viewer. While Windows 7 provides a few different options for opening and transferring files quickly, one of the most convenient methods for many users is through the good old “Send To” option.
For those who don’t know, “Send To,” as the name implies, allows a user to send a file to be opened in a specific program or transferred to a specific location, simply by right clicking on the file and choosing where you would like to send it in the “Send To” list. While this handy feature saves time by allowing files to be copied to, or opened in, a specific location in just two clicks, many find Windows 7 default implementation of this feature – particularly the way in which it decides what programs and locations will show up in the “Send To” option – leaves much to be desired. However, with a bit of tinkering, virtually any program, drive, or folder can be added to the “Send To” list by following these simple steps:

Step 1. Click the “Start” button to open the Start menu.

Step 2. Click “Computer” to open your computers’ drive listing.

Step 3. Double click the “C:” drive, followed by the following folders, in order:

“Users” > (the name of the profile you are currently logged in to) > “AppData” > “Roaming” > “Microsoft” > “Windows” > “SendTo”
Alternatively, if your account has the proper security privileges, you may access the “SendTo” folder via the “Start” menu:

Step 3-1. Click the “Run” button. The Run dialog box will appear.

Step 3-2. In the Run dialog box, enter the following, without quotes:
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo
or
shell:sendto

Step 4. Click the “OK” button. The “SendTo” folder should appear on screen.

Step 5. Move the open “SendTo” folder to the side, and re-open your computer drive listing (as shown in Steps 1-2 above.)
Your next step will vary depending on the type of item you wish to add to the “Send To” menu:
Adding a fixed disk (Hard Drive, DVD Drive, etc.) to the “Send To” menu


Step 6. To add a fixed disk drive to the “Send To” menu, simply click on the drive which you wish to add, and drag its icon into the “Send To” folder. A shortcut to the drive will be automatically created, and will appear as an option in the “Send To” menu.
Adding a removable drive (Thumb Drive, SD Card, portable hard drive, etc.) to the “Send To” menu


Step 7. To add a removable drive to the “Send To” menu, follow the same steps outlined in Step 6. However, be aware that adding a removable drive to the “Send To” menu will only work if you plug in the removable drive in the same USB/Memory Card/etc. port each time you re-connect the device. Failing to do so may cause Windows to assign the drive in question a different drive letter than what had been assigned when the shortcut was created and added to the “Send To” menu, which in turn will cause the shortcut to stop working until the device is once again plugged in to the original port.
Adding a Program to the “Send To” menu

Step 8. Find your desired programs’ shortcut icon in the Start > All Programs menu or on the Desktop and click it once to select it.

Step 8-1. Right click the icon and select “Copy” to copy the selected shortcut.

Step 8-2. Select the “SendTo” folder and press CTRL+V to paste a copy of the shortcut in place.
Your program shortcut will now be listed in the “Send To” menu.
If you are unable to find the program shortcut you need in the All Programs menu or on your desktop, perform the following:

Step 8-3. Find the programs’ installation folder (usually located on the C: drive in one of the “Program Files” folders.)

Step 8-4. Right click on the programs’ .exe file and select “Desktop (Create shortcut)” from the “Send To” menu.

Step 8-5. Find your newly created program shortcut icon on the desktop, then drag and drop it into your “SendTo” folder.
Adding a Folder to the “Send To” menu

Step 9. Find the folder which you would like to add to the “Send To” menu.

Step 9-1. Right click on the folder and select “Desktop (Create shortcut)” from the “Send To” menu.

Step 9-2. Find your newly created folder shortcut icon on the desktop, then drag and drop it into your “SendTo” folder.
Note: If you decide to delete or uninstall a folder or program, which has been added to the “Send To” menu, from your computer, you may also need to delete it from the “SendTo” folder to make the now useless entry disappear from the “Send To” list.
While it takes a bit of work during the initial set up, adding a drive, program, or folder to your “Send To” menu will most definitely save you time while adding to your productivity in the long run. Enjoy!

ADDING YOUR OWN DRIVES TO YOUR "SENDTO" MENU

MAKING A DVD THAT WILL PLAY IN DVD PLAYERS WITH WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER

How do I make a photo/music/data CD using Windows 7 Movie Maker, that will play on DVD/CD players? The ones I make will only play on computers. I am using an Acer Aspire with Windows 7 Home Edition.
Jack, if you thought you were missing something, you weren’t. Currently, there is no way to burn a DVD directly from Movie Maker so that it will play on a standard DVD player. However, there is another free program on your computer called Windows DVD Maker, that was designed to do just that. Here’s how you do it.
1. Create your movie(s) or photo slideshow(s) as normal in Windows Movie Maker, then click the options menu in the top left hand corner of your screen and select Save Movie, then Burn a DVD. Choose where you want to save your file, and click Save.
Burn in Movie Maker
2. Once your file is saved, you need to open Windows DVD Maker. So, type Windows DVD Maker into the search bar on the Start menu, and click on the icon to open the program.

SHORTCUT KEY FOR GETTING FILE NAME YOU WANT IN CMD PROMPT

Did you know that there’s a key you can press that will auto complete a path or file name in the Windows 7 Command Prompt? Yeah, me either – that is, until I was messing around the other day and stumbled across an article on Microsoft’s site detailing how to do it.

Here’s how!

Open a Command Prompt by clicking Start, then typing cmd in the Search Box. Click the Command Prompt icon in the results that appear or just hit Enter.

In the Command Prompt window, type in the change directory command, like this:

GET THE PDF OF THE WEBSITE YOU WANT

PDF my URL

Usually, I don’t list a website for the top spot of the newsletter, but I simply had to today! If you’re looking for a quick way to save a webpage for offline viewing, then I suggest checking out PDFmyURL. Just go to http://pdfmyurl.com/, and put the address of the site you want to save in the box…



…now hit the nifty-looking “P” icon off to the right, let the site do its work, and when the download window pops up save it! It’s that easy! 

GOT TO KNOW ABOUT THE PEN FLICKS HERE

I think the reason people love touch screens is because of how natural the hand gestures feel. For example, to scroll down a document, it feels better to just swipe down instead of pressing a little arrow key. If you’re looking to bring some of these intuitive gestures to your Windows computer, then might I humbly recommend that you enable Pen flicks.
To utilize pen flicks, your computer must be touch screen, or your laptop’s trackpad must support gestures. If you have a graphics tablet, then that will also allow pen flicks as well.
Begin by pressing the Start button, and selecting Control Panel.
Select the Classic view, and double click Pen and Input Devices.
penflicks1

Now choose the Flicks tab, and check the box labeled Use flicks to perform common actions quickly and easily.
penflicks2

Now you have two options: the navigation flicks, or the navigational flicks with editing. I personally prefer the latter, as it allows me to copy and paste with ease. Choose the option that best suits you, and of course, you can always change this setting.
If you select Customize, you can hand select what action a flick in a certain direction will perform. If you’d like to add a custom keyboard shortcut, just select the add option. For example. I made it so that a downward flick will close the program using the keyboard shortcut Alt+F4.
penflicks3

Finally, one last setting I’d like to bring to your attention is the flick sensitivity. If you find that you have to repeat a gesture several times before Windows recognizes it, then you should make the sensitivity more relaxed. However, if you find gestures are occurring by accident, than you should move the slider to the precise setting.
penflicks4

I hope this setting makes your computer feel a little bit more natural. Enjoy!
