Surf Orkut Anonymously


Want to see your friend’s profile or any other person’s profile on Orkut but do not want to get noticed? You can easily do that using the Privacy settings of Orkut.

During all those years of surfing Orkut, I found that we can surf the Orkut anonymously without becoming the other person’s profile visitor by turning our Profile Visitor option to “hide”. The big advantage of this setting (and actually why I am writing this post) is that it does not take time and starts instantly.

Steps:

1. Click on Settings option of your account.

2. Now go to Privacy tab.

3. Click on “hide profile visits” button inside “profile visitors” option.

Now you can start surfing the Orkut anonymously without leaving any traces of your visit to other person’s profile.

Remove Arrow from Shortcut Icons on Desktop

Windows places various shortcut icons on the desktop, which are actually pointers to some file or application located elsewhere on the disk. You would notice a small arrow on the bottom left of the shortcut. This little arrow signifies that the icon is, indeed, a shortcut and not an icon.

So if you are annoyed seeing these useless arrows or just wish to remove it from the shortcut icons then yes, you can certainly do that. There are few tools also available that can do the same thing but I don’t believe in installing some software when you can do the same thing manually and easily.

NOTE: Since following steps involve Registry Tweak, it is suggested that you backup your registry before doing these to undo any changes that you don’t like.

Steps:

• Type regedit in the Run box to open registry editor.

• Navigate to the following keys

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\piffile
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InternetShortcut

• Delete the IsShortcut key (if you are facing problems in finding that entry then you can also search them) from each of them.

Reboot to see the deleted arrows from the shortcuts.

Solution to No More Connection to a Remote Computer Problem

Solution to No More Connection to a Remote Computer Problem

Got a problem faced by one of our readers that when after logging 10 computers, he tries to access some file or printer shared on the network, he gets this message saying that:

No more connections can be made to this remote computer at this time because there are already as many connections as the computer can accept”.

Causes of this problem:

There are several versions of Windows XP released by Microsoft and the most common of them are XP Professional and XP Home. But Microsoft has put certain restrictions on these products (you may call it, deliberately) so that the users upgrade to its better versions.

While sharing a file or printer, there is a limit on how many users can access the shared resource from the Local Area Network (LAN) simultaneously. Microsoft has restricted the number of remote connections to be 10 for XP Professional and 5 for XP Home editions.

You can check yours by running the following command in cmd
net config server

What you can do now:

• Upgrade to a Windows Server license that supports more network connections than XP Professional and Home editions.

• Decrease the timeout period, to close unused connections faster (Default 15 minutes)
net config server /autodisconnect:1

this will allot the time of 1 minute.

• Use more computers to share the same file or printer (not that effective but can be handy).

• Make another network to share the same thing.

Steps to Transfer Files Using Bluesoleil and Bluetooth

Bluesoleil is the most popular Bluetooth device driver used by many of us today to sync our computer with our mobile phones using the Bluetooth technology. It can create a small network between our cell phone and our PC that enables us to transfer any file between our PC and the mobile phone.

But there are many of us who are facing difficulties in using this program, as was with one of our readers. So here goes the list of steps that will make the things easier to use this application.

Steps:

From computer to phone:
1. It is assumed that you have installed some version of Bluesoleil in your computer (if not then get that from here). Start the Bluesoleil application.

2. Start the Bluetooth service on your computer (use a Bluetooth Dongle if there is no Bluetooth by default).

3. Also start the Bluetooth services on your phone.

4. Now double click on the Orange ball in the center of the main Bluesoleil page, your phone should get listed here.

5. Also add this computer on your Bluetooth device list on your phone (use a password for reliable transfer).

6. Now double click the phone on the Bluesoleil page, when you notice the icons on the top you will see that the ones that will work for your phone will highlight.

7. Double click the file transfer icon that will open a new window, drag and drop any item (compatible with your phone) to this window which will ultimately show up in your phone.

From phone to computer:

After you follow the first 6 steps, perform these
7. To send the file you want to transfer via Bluetooth, click on “send via” (or something like that).

8. The files would automatically show up in the Bluetooth folder in the My Documents on the PC.

Alternatively, you could use Windows default Bluetooth service which is also easy to use (run “fsquirt” command in the run box and just follow the instructions).

Latest Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Reviews


Nokia iPhone

When talking about mobile phone, we have to admit Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is a perfect generation. Now more and more people feel honorable to own a Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. How can this cell phone attract so many eyeballs? What kind of magic does it have. Now let’s find out the secrets of Nokia 5800 XpressMusic.

The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is a S60 5th Edition device with a resistive touch screen and tactile feedback. The device has a large 3,2“, bright nHD (640 x 360 pixels and 16:9 aspect ratio) color display. The device has variety of input methods: stylus, plectrum and finger touch support for text input and UI control (alphanumeric keypad, full and mini qwerty keyboard, handwriting recognition). Use the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic to connect to mobile broadband using WLAN or HSDPA (3.5G). Find directions and locations with the integrated A-GPS and included maps. Additional features include a 3.2 megapixel camera with dual LED flash, Bluetooth 2.0 +EDR, and USB 2.0 High-Speed. Supported WCDMA frequencies depend on the region where the device is available.
