Now Open Closed TAB in IE7

You may have had this nagging problem while using the Internet Explorer 7. I open countless number of tabs in IE 7, and when I get irked with the cluttering, I close them in a hurry, just to realize I have closed a window I may have reached through like a hundred sites of linking. In firefox it was never a problem, and a simple CNTRL+SHIFT+T would solve it there. But not the case in IE 7. So after determined searching on the world wide web for a solution for this headache in IE 7, voila ...


There are some added features as well to this version of the 'solution' . . . :

• Added a “Find” feature that searches the title and url of all previously closed tabs and only shows those that contain what you searched for, in the “Quick Tab Style View”.
  
• Added a messagebox to verify the clearing of tab history from the toolbar button.
  
• Added logging capabilities to help troubleshoot issues (disabled by default).
  
• Changed the “More Previously Closed Tabs Available…” to be bold, to stand out on the context menu rather than looking like a website name.
  
• Decreased tab closing time due to inefficiency with html document size.
  
• Removed straggler message boxes (they now are logged, if enabled).

Hide Webpages as MS Office files ! ! !

This tool is pretty cool and comes out as a result of people scared of visiting websites in office as they can be caught by the boss and loose impression. All it does is it opens a pop up window which allows you to read web pages but that pop up looks like a Microsoft office Word 2003 document.

So if your boss shows up just hover the boss key and some random paragraphs will be displayed. However there is not much benefit of this, as you loose all formatting and Images don’t load. In short its like a text browser. So happy working and Just give it a try at WorkFriendly

Using Gmail as a Drive in Windows

Gmail recently increased their storage space to a massive 4GB. This of course is nothing compared to the current storage capacity of the hard disk drives, but what if you could use Gmail as an online data storage facility? For an online storage facility, it can do wonders.
Most of the companies offering online storage charge some fees for their facility, and Gmail also offers a massive 400 Gigabytes of storage which would cost $500 per year. But most users like me will be happy to use that massive 4GB of online storage facility for free. You can even save your important files and backups on Gmail.

You can use the Gmail Drive Extension (which of course is a freeware) to use Gmail as a drive in Windows and instantly store and retrieve files from your Gmail account like it was a normal drive on your Windows.

I use it to backup important data, not as my main backup location but a secondary one. All files that are stored on the drive are accessible on the Gmail website as well which means it is also possible to store files that you work with on different computers.

HOW TO DOWNLOAD YOUTUBE VIDEOS

Well there are numerous sites available on the net to download YouTube videos, heres one which i use.... videodownloadx its damn simple u jus have to paste da url of da video which u want to download in the given url bar, nd press download..dats it da video starts downloading.

How to View Deleted or Removed YouTube Videos

How is thispossible? Well when a video has been removed from YouTube, it is not immediately deleted from their servers. Just like our hard drive. When we delete a file and empty the recycle bin, is it not really deleted. It is only marked as deleted and is ready to be overwritten. So if it is not being overwritten, we can still view the videos but of course not from youtube.com.







Viewing removed YouTube videos is easy. Here's how to do it.

First of all, you need to know the Video ID which is at the end of the YouTube link. An example of a YouTube video link is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzeV1Ux5YlI

The video ID for the link above is UzeV1Ux5YlI

Just copy and paste it in the ID text box and click view video. Here are a few sites that is able to play deleted YouTube videos. Surprisingly, they are all not the same. I've tested a deleted video ID on all 3 sites but one of it reported that it could not find deleted video. So if you desperately need to watch a deleted video, try on all of the sites and you might get to watch it.

1. UndeleTube

- A normal deleted youtube video viewer. Works well.

2. DeletedYoutubeViewer

- This is a bit special compared to the other two because you are able to search for deleted YouTube video through the VideoID or YouTube User. If you know the user that uploaded the deleted video, you can search the user name.

3. Delutube

I did not like this site so much because there are full of advertisements. Before get to watch a video, I need to wait 4 seconds. Not only that, this is the site that couldn't find the deleted youtube video that I am looking for.
