Sending SMS Through Yahoo Mail Free!!


Follow the below mentioned steps to send Free SMS using Yahoo Mail.1. Login to your Yahoo Mail account (Yahoo Mail beta and not the classic one)2. Click on the New Drop down and select TextMessage.3. Add the number/contact to which you wish to send the message and click on send.




Its FREE but the catch is that you can only send maximum of 5 sms to a contact after which your contact person needs to reply at least once and then your quota of 5 starts all over again. Although, am not sure of the pricing as far as the reply message is concerned.This feature is available only for Yahoo users in India,Canada, US and Philippines.Yahoo mail definitely according to me is going places as compared to Gmail. Lets see who races further ahead in this race of better email service.

Configuring Firefox as You wish!!

In this tutorial, I’ll tell you about 3 files, that can be edited to configure Firefox.user.jsUsed to change various preferences.userChrome.cssUsed to change the appearance of the browser.userContent.cssUsed to change the appearance of web pages.All these files are plain text files stored in your profile folder, and can be edited using a standard text editor, such as Notepad on Windows and gedit or kate on Linux.The Profile FolderThe profile folder is where Firefox saves all your settings and refers to a location on your hard drive.On Windows XP/2000, the path is usually%AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.defaul t\, where xxxxxxxx is a random string of 3 characters. Just browse to C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ and the rest should be obvious.On Windows 95/98/Me, the path is usually C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\On Linux, the path is usually ~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxxxxx.default/On MacOS X, the path is usually ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/xxxxxxxx.default/Firefox is capable of handling more than one user and thus, more than one profile. The path examples above refers to the default profile that is automatically created when you start Firefox for the first time. You can manage any number of profiles by using the Profile Manager.%AppData% is a shorthand for the Application Data path on Windows 2000/XP. To use it, click Start > Run…, enter %AppData% and press Enter. You will be taken to the “real” folder, which is normally C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Application Data.user.jsThis is the main preferences file for Firefox and is located in you profile folder. The file does not exist by default, so you need to create it before you can start adding your preferences.userChrome.cssThis file sets the display rules for various elements in the Firefox user interface and is located in the sub-folder called chrome in your profile folder. As with user.js, this file does not exist by default, so you need to create it before you can start adding your preferences. There’s actually an example file that exists by default, called “userChrome-example.css“. Basically, you can just rename that file by removing the “-example” part.userContent.cssThis file sets the display rules for web content and is located in the sub-folder called chrome in your profile folder. As with user.js, this file does not exist by default, so you need to create it before you can start adding your preferences. As with userChrome.css, there is an example file that exists by default, called “userContent-example.css“. Basically, you can just rename that file by removing the “-example” part.Upcoming more on Firefox....so keep visiting.........

Some easy windows tricks!!

System TipsUse the 'wild card' (*) in system searches. It's possible to find all pictures by using *.jpg, for instance. To list virtually every graphic on your hard drive, try *.jpg; *.png; *.gif; *.bmp. Multiple searches are possible using a semicolon followed by a space, then the next item. This works foe other file types, too, like *.doc or *.txt.The use of shortcut keys instead of mouse clicks is much more efficient. Re-training oneself to do so is a bit more challenging. Most folks know that pressing the CTRL key plus x cuts and item, CTRL+ c copies and CTRL+ v pastes, but don't forget to 'unload' the clipboard after copying a large graphic or hitting 'Print Screen.' Just copy something small, like a word of text, to replace that large load. Otherwise it ties up precious memory.Here are some more to try:CTRL+ A: Highlights all text in documentCTRL+ close window closes all windowsWindows: Display the Start menuWindows + D: Minimize or restore all windowsWindows + E: Display Windows ExplorerWindows + F: Display Search for filesWindows + Ctrl + F: Display Search for computerWindows + F1: Display Help and Support CenterWindows + R: Display Run dialog boxWindows + break: Display System Properties dialog boxWindows + shift + M: Undo minimize all windowsWindows + tab: move through taskbar buttonsWindows + U: Open Utility ManagerCTRL+ Z is an unlimited UNDOIn rich text environments like Outlook Express or Microsoft Word, SHIFT will traditionally 'select' and CTRL will 'move.' CTRL+ BACKSPACE will delete entire words at a time; CTRL+ HOME will take you to the top of the document; CTRL+ SHIFT + HOME will select all data between your cursor and the top of your document (END will take you to the end); CTRL+ LEFT CURSOR will move you one word back (and RIGHT will move you right); SHIFT+ HOME will select all text in that paragraph or line.Want more?

Ban ShutDown:A trick to Play on Lamers

This is a neat trick you can play on that lamer that has a huge ego, in this section I teach you, how to disable the Shut Down option in the Shut Down Dialog Box. This trick involves editing the registry, so please make backups. Launch regedit.exe and go to :HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ExplorerIn the right pane look for the NoClose Key. If it is not already there then create it by right clicking in the right pane and selecting New > String Value.(Name it NoCloseKey ) Now once you see the NoCloseKey in the right pane, right click on it and select Modify. Then Type 1 in the Value Data Box.Doing the above on a Win98 system disables the Shut Down option in the Shut Down Dialog Box. But on a Win95 machine if the value of NoCloseKey is set to 1 then click on the Start > Shut Down button displays the following error message:This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator.You can enable the shut down option by changing the value of NoCloseKey to 0 or simply deleting the particular entry i.e. deleting NoCloseKey.Instead of performing the above difficult to remember process, simply save the following with an extension of .reg and add it's contents to the registry by double clicking on it.REGEDIT4[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]"NoClose"="1"
