Turn any application portable and run from a USB drive or any data source

We will use a software called Thinstall. Thinstall is an Application Virtualization Platform that enables complex software to be transformed into self-contained EXE files which can run instantly with zero installation from any data source. It creates a virtual operating system, a type of sandbox, around each “Thinstalled” application with it's own virtual registry and file system. Everything is good about Thinstall except it's price which is an outrageous $4,995.

But you can download it for free(FULL VERSION). Just follow the link below.

Let us create a portable version of MS Office 2003

Thinstall requires you to have a clean PC, one that has been freshly installed with Windows. Also the application that you are converting into a portable one shouldn't be already installed in the machine. But don't worry, it works equally well with an old Windows system. I had MS Office 2003 on my system but I had it removed prior to this process and it worked with any problem. However, it might not work with all application. In that case, you can carry the following operations on a virtual PC.

1. Install Thinstall and run Setup Capture (the application's main executable). Click Start.

2. Select drive C and the drive where you plan to install the application (in this case, MS Office). If you want to install MS Office in drive C itself, then select only drive C.



3. Click Pre-Install Scan and allow the program to complete scanning of the selected drives.


4. After it finishes scanning, install MS Office on your PC like you normally would.

5. After you have finished installing Office, click Post-Install Scan and again wait till it completes.

6. You will be now asked to select the executables that you wish to make portable. Select all the boxes from the list and click continue.


7. Finally you will asked to specify a path where you wish to store the files.

8. Now open the directory where the files were saved and run build.bat.

Thinstall will now create the portable files required and save them inside a folder named bin inside the same directory. Inside bin you will find the self contained exe files of MS Office. Copy this directory into your USB drive. Now you can run MS Office directly from the thumb drive.

Compress Your 1 GB file in Just 10 MB!!!

Hey guys check out this Article I found off the net (I found it through google, i don't remember the site):

KGB Archiver is the compression tool with an unbelievably high compression rate. Unfortunately, in spite of its powerful compression rate, it has high hardware requirements (I
recommend processor with 1,5GHz clock and 256MB of RAM as an essential minimum). One of the advantages of KGB Archiver is also AES-256 encryption which is used to encrypt the archives. This is one of the strongest encryptions known for human.

New features in beta 2:

* Explorer shell extension
* Multilanguage support
* Up to 8% faster compression/decompression
* Now SFX archives run on any Windows or under WINE on Linux
* Lots of crashes fixed
* and more!

KGB even managed to zip up a Office 2007 iso into a 10 mb file last time when I used it.

Fool trojan virus, Keylogger

These days Agents spy on you everywhere, in college, at work, maybe a trojan virus on your home PC which keylogs your paswords and mails it to someone else. If u think you are being logged, try this:

Whenever you have to type a password, never type the complete password in one go, ie, if your password is WINDOWS, you should type NDOW, then move cursor to start of the password field using the mouse ONLY, then type WI, then move cursor to end using the mouse and type S. This way the logger will record your keystrokes as ndowwis instead of WINDOWS.

Haha, keylogger fooled.

Get Vista's productivity features in XP

Make your Windows XP look and perform like vista.

1. Taskbar Visual Tips



Visual tooltips are small visual previews of windows; they appear when you move
your mouse pointer over an item in the taskbar. Download it from here
Visual Tooltip.

Unzip the file and run VisualToolTip.exe. Now move the mouse pointer over the
taskbar and you'll be able to see previews of programs.

2. Getting the Vista Look

For custom themes to work on XP, you first need to patch the UXTHEME.DLL
file. If you'd like, you can download  an automated patcher from

HERE. Run the patcher and cancel any warnings about Windows Files
being replaced. Reboot, and you'll be able to use custom themes. Copy the theme
files you download into C:\Windows\Resources\Themes. Double-click the
.theme file to preview the theme. In "Display" properties windows, click on
Apply to apply the theme. Sites like
www.themexp.org and www.devianart.com
have loads of themes.

3. Vista Start Menu

This is a little different from the one in XP: it has a search bar.
Vista Start Menu Emulator is a
little application that brings Vista's Start Menu to XP. If you have a good
Vista theme installed, this Start Menu replacement will work as a great
combination.

4. Flipping Windows

Top Desk is
a neat little utility that allows you to get the effect Vista gives you when you
multitask between applications. After you install Top Desk, pressing [Windows
key] + [Tab] will show you a visual list of all running applications.

5. Using a Sidebar

Sidebars are a great way to have instant access to information such as
weather, RSS feeds etc all same time on your desktop.

The most famous has to be the
Google Desktop. Once installed, right-click on the icon in the
syatem tray and make sure you set it as a sidebar.

6. Performance boost

ReadyBoost is one of the Vista's performance boosting features.

For ReadyBoost, you can find a commercial software called
eBoostr.
Once installed, reboot the computer. Start the program, and you can now add
a flash drive that youwant it to use. Enter the size of the cache file you want
to use.

Recovering password in XP

Many times we forget our Windows password. Then we panic, call experts and finally we lose all important information saved in Windows. Now here is a way by which we can recover Windows password easily.

1. Place your Windows XP CD in your CD ROM and start your computer (it’s assumed here that your XP CD is bootable – as it should be - and that you have your BIOS set to boot from CD)

2. Keep your eye on the screen messages for booting to your CD typically; it will be “Press any key to boot from CD”

3. Once you get in, the first screen will indicate that Setup is inspecting your system and loading files.
4. When you get to the Welcome to Setup screen, press ENTER to Setup Windows now

5. The Licensing Agreement comes next - Press F8 to accept it.

6. The next screen is the Setup screen which gives you the option to do a Repair.
It should read something like “If one of the following Windows XP installations is damaged, Setup can try to repair it”

Use the up and down arrow keys to select your XP installation (if you only have one, it should already be selected) and press R to begin the Repair process.

7. Let the Repair run. Setup will now check your disks and then start copying files which can take several minutes.

8. Shortly after the Copying Files stage, you will be required to reboot. (This will happen automatically – you will see a progress bar stating “Your computer will reboot in 15 seconds”)

9. During the reboot, do not make the mistake of “pressing any key” to boot from the CD again! Setup will resume automatically with the standard billboard screens and you will notice Installing Windows is highlighted.

10. Keep your eye on the lower left hand side of the screen and when you see the Installing Devices progress bar, press SHIFT + F10. This is the security hole! A command console will now open up giving you the potential for wide access to your system.

11. At the prompt, type NUSRMGR.CPL and press Enter. Voila! You have just gained graphical access to your User Accounts in the Control Panel.

12. Now simply pick the account you need to change and remove or change your password as you prefer. If you want to log on without having to enter your new password, you can type control userpasswords2 at the prompt and choose to log on without being asked for password. After you’ve made your changes close the windows, exit the command box and continue on with the Repair (have your Product key handy).

13. Once the Repair is done, you will be able to log on with your new password (or without a password if you chose not to use one or if you chose not to be asked for a password). Your programs and personalized settings should remain intact.

Enjoy..!!
