Use KIS/KAV without key for lifetime
Kaspersky is one of the Best antivirus i have ever used.
NO other in market can beat it in terms of performance & efficiency.
But I have only 1 month trial setup....
How can i keep it for a long time.......
this is the question which most persons ask to me whenever i askd them to use Kaspersky...
So here i am with a solution for you people...
First download Kaspersky trial version from their site. Link is given below:
http://www.kaspersky.com/trials
Once installed it ask you to register, skip this section and continue.
After reboot and computer is loaded up with Kaspersky,
click on "Settings"
godown to "Option"
and uncheck "Enable Self-Defence".
Click OK and disbale Kaspersky and exit the program.
Now goto Run prompt and type "regedit"
and go to this value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\KasperskyLab\Protected\AVP8\environment
Now scroll down to Product status in right handside pane.
Double click on "Product Status"
and change for "Release" to "Beta".
Exit regedit and refresh.
Now loadup Kaspersky...
Now goto Activation
and there will be an new option
"Activate Beta Version"
Click this and you will get 30 days beta trial...
the best thing about this is that u can redo this process after 30 days.
Basically what we have done is fooling the Kaspersky server into thinking that you are using the Beta version of the product but in actual you are using the Release version that will give you all updates which you get in a Release version...

E-mail Tracking
If you ever wondered whether mails you sent ever gets read or just sent to trash, you can use a mail tracking service like MailTracking.com which allows email tracking.
They send you a email notification whenever the recipient reads your email. Notification includes many details including following…
Date and time opened
Location of recipient (per their ISP city /town)
How long the email was read for
How many times your email was opened
If your email was forwarded, or opened on a different computer
Now how to use this service in simplest way…
Create an account with them first.
Then next time, whenever you send mail to abc@xyz.com just add.mailtracking.com to the email address. So in this case email address will become abc@xyz.com.mailtracking.com
Now whenever abc@xyz.com read your email, you will receive notification mail from mailtracking.com
How it works…
Basically the change in email address will route email through mailtracking.com' server.
They add a small (around 3×3 pixel) white image which is almost invisible to human eyes in email body. The image will be hosted on mailtracking servers and a unique image is kept for each email message.
So when someone opens email that image also get downloaded. Now mailtracking server logs the browser request for image (note that the request goes in background) and thus can mail you details which mentioned above.
Note:
MailTracking.com is not free. You can start with free account as I did. You get 25 credits(1 credit = 1 email) in free account.
Till then enjoy

Hide Folder/File without any Software
1. Open DOS prompt.
2. Go to the particular directory.
3. Suppose you want to hide a file name text.txt which is placed Abc folder with path D:/New Folder/Abc
4. Now goto folder Abc.
5. Now Write "attrib text.txt +s +h +r +a" and press Enter Key
(The file will now not be visible to any one. You cannot view this file even if you have click on show hidden files in FOLDER OPTIONS).
In the similar manner, you can also hide the folders.
But you need not to go inside the folder.
Suppose in above example we want to hide Folder "Abc", then we go in DOS prompt upto New Folder only and the command is same.
For viewing/unhiding the file/holder use "attrib filename -s -h -r -a".
But the disadvantage is that you must not forget the name of the file/folder.

Increase your Bandwidth by 20%
Windows uses 20% of your bandwidth! Get it back
A nice little tweak for XP. M*crosoft reserve 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes (suspect for updates and interrogating your machine etc..)
Here's how to get it back:
Click Start-->Run-->type "gpedit.msc" without the "
This opens the group policy editor. Then go to:
Local Computer Policy-->Computer Configuration-->Administrative Templates-->Network-->QOS Packet Scheduler-->Limit Reservable Bandwidth
Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the 'Explain' tab :
"By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default."
So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO. This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20%.

How to Rename File Extensions.
There are two ways to rename a file extension ‘without’ a stupid program.
Number 1, Folder Options:
Go into your Control Panel,in Control Panel open “Folder Options” and click the view tab and make sure ‘Hide file extensions for know files’ is not selected, then press Ok.
Now go into a folder and notice you can see your files extensions, rename them to whatever you'd like, for instance:
Code:
Dildos.exe to Dildos.Anonymous / Etc,Etc,Etc
Number 2, MS-DOS:
The difference between renaming files in DOS is that you can rename multiple files rather then one at a time, therefore making time gracious. Here I’ll provide you a few examples.
Go to your start menu and open run, then type “cmd” without parenthesis.Now find out which directory has your files and type:
Example
cd C:\Files\
In your case “C:\Files\” may not exist, so type in the directory that your have you files in. If everything goes will dos will look kinda like this:
Code:
C:\Documents and Settings\User>cd C:\Files\
Now, type: dir
and you will be provided with what files are in your folder, including their extensions. In my case:
Code:
C:\Files>dir
Volume in drive C has no dildo.
Volume Serial Number is CXXX-XXXX
Directory of C:\Files
02/01/2005 07:22 PM DIR .
02/01/2005 07:22 PM DIR ..
01/31/2005 06:40 PM 14,336 stf.bmp
01/31/2005 06:40 PM 14,336 stf02.bmp
2 File(s) 28,672 bytes
2 Dir(s) 39,024,766,976 bytes free
C:\Files>
Did you notice how I had two files named stf. Since both of these files have the same extension, *.bmp they can be renamed all together. If there are other files in there with the same extension and you don't want to rename them, move them to another folder and / or directory.
Last but not least,
type:
Code:
C:\Files>ren *.bmp *.rar
And your results are:
Code:
C:\Files>dir
Volume in drive C has no penis.
Volume Serial Number is CXXX-XXXX

Change Text on Start Button
Step 1 - Modify Explorer.exe File
In order to make the changes, the file explorer.exe located at C:\Windows needs to be edited. Since explorer.exe is a binary file it requires a special editor. For purposes of this article I have used Resource Hacker. Resource HackerTM is a freeware utility to view, modify, rename, add, delete and extract resources in 32bit Windows executables and resource files (*.res). It incorporates an internal resource script compiler and decompiler and works on Microsoft Windows 95/98/ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP operating systems.
get this from h**p://delphi.icm.edu.pl/ftp/tools/ResHack.zip
The first step is to make a backup copy of the file explorer.exe located at C:\Windows\explorer. Place it in a folder somewhere on your hard drive where it will be safe. Start Resource Hacker and open explorer.exe located at C:\Windows\explorer.exe.
The category we are going to be using is "String Table". Expand it by clicking the plus sign then navigate down to and expand string 37 followed by highlighting 1033. If you are using the Classic Layout rather than the XP Layout, use number 38. The right hand pane will display the stringtable. We’re going to modify item 578, currently showing the word “start” just as it displays on the current Start button.
There is no magic here. Just double click on the word “start” so that it’s highlighted, making sure the quotation marks are not part of the highlight. They need to remain in place, surrounding the new text that you’ll type. Go ahead and type your new entry. In my case I used Click Me!
You’ll notice that after the new text string has been entered the Compile Script button that was grayed out is now active. I won’t get into what’s involved in compiling a script, but suffice it to say it’s going to make this exercise worthwhile. Click Compile Script and then save the altered file using the Save As command on the File Menu. Do not use the Save command – Make sure to use the Save As command and choose a name for the file. Save the newly named file to C:\Windows.
Step 2 – Modify the Registry
!!!make a backup of your registry before making changes!!!
Now that the modified explorer.exe has been created it’s necessary to modify the registry so the file will be recognized when the user logs on to the system. If you don’t know how to access the registry I’m not sure this article is for you, but just in case it’s a temporary memory lapse, go to Start (soon to be something else) Run and type regedit in the Open field. Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows NT\ CurrentVersion\ Winlogon
In the right pane, double click the "Shell" entry to open the Edit String dialog box. In Value data: line, enter the name that was used to save the modified explorer.exe file. Click OK.
Close Registry Editor and either log off the system and log back in, or reboot the entire system if that’s your preference. If all went as planned you should see your new Start button with the revised text.

Extend Window Vista Activation Period
Posted by Alveena
Window Vista has a built-in Visual Basic Script which allows its user to increase the trial period of vista by 30 days. u can use this script a total of 3 times , hence extending the trail period to upto 120 days. The process is known as "Rearming".
Usage of this script will not result in any violation of Window End-User License Agreement.
How it works:-
1. Goto Start> All Programs>Accesories>Command Prompt
2. Right click on command Prompt and click "Run as Administrator"
3. It will redirect u to this location
C:\Windows\system32
If not, then move to this location.
4. Now type the script and hit enter.
Script is:
cscript slmgr.vbs -rearm
5. The command will take some time to execute and will ask u to restart ur system.
After restart u will see ur Activation period again to 30 days.
Note:-
The script will not work if the activation period has ended and vista has entered into lock down mode.
