HOW TO HIDE A FILE IN A IMAGE ! ! !

1. Gather the file you wish to bind, and the image file, and place them in a folder. For the sake of this demonstration, I will be using C:\New Folder
-The image will hereby be referred to in all examples as fluffy.jpg
-The file will hereby be referred to in all examples as New Text Document.txt

2. Add the file/files you will be injecting into the image into a WinRar .rar or .zip. From here on this will be referred to as (secret.rar)

3. Open command prompt by going to Start > Run > cmd

4. In Command Prompt, navigate to the folder where your two files are by typing
cd location [ex: cd C:\New Folder]

5. Type [copy /b fluffy.jpg + secret.rar fluffy.jpg] (remove the brackets)

Congrats, as far as anyone viewing is concerned, this file looks like a JPEG, acts like a JPEG, and is a JPEG, yet it now contains your file.

In order to view/extract your file, there are two options that you can take

a) Change the file extension from fluffy.jpg to fluffy.rar, then open and your file is there
b) Leave the file extension as is, right click, open with WinRar and your file is there

MAKE MOZILLA 10x TIMES FASTER ! ! !

THIS IS A VERY SIMPLE TRICK.....NO SOFTWARE REQUIRED......NO DL REQUIRED biggrin

1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit enter. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.


NOTE:this trick only works for broadband users not for dialup

Remove The Text From An Icon


Are you very good with figuring out what program corresponds to what icon? If so, you may be interested in this guide. This guide with show you how to remove the titles of the various icons. You may be thinking that it is very easy to remove the titles. Probably your first thought would be to rename the icon and make a blank name. Well, that doesn’t work, if you don’t believe me try it out for yourself and see….

What happens when you try to rename the icon to a blank name? It simply reverts back to the previous name.

For this trick to work, we need to make sure that File and Folder Settings has the Show File Extensions for known File Types Enabled. This is the default setting in XP, so if you have not made any changes it should be set properly. If you are not sure, then check. Here is how …

Click Start, then My Computer. Click on Tools then Folder Options.

On the View tab check mark Hide Extensions For Known File Types then Click Apply

Ok, now that we have that set...Here is the trick to removing the icon title and having a Blank Text untitled icon

First, right click on the icon that you want to remove it’s title, then go to Rename

Now, what you need to do, is hold the ALT button down. With the ALT button held down, and using the keypad type 255 then release the ALT button and hit enter, and voila you now have a untitled icon.

This trick will work only for icon, if you are creating multiple Blank Text icons then you will need to name them like this:

  • For 1 Blank Text Icon: ALT + 255 (release ALT)
  • For 2 Blank Text Icons: ALT + 255 (release ALT) ALT + 255 (release ALT)
  • For 3 Blank Text Icons: ALT + 255 (release ALT) ALT + 255 (release ALT) ALT + 255 (release ALT)
  • And so on…

The reason we need to do this is because part of Windows XP rules state that you cannot have a file/folder/shortcut with the same name in the same folder. To get around this restriction, we simply name the first icon with 1 blank space, the second icon with 2 blank spaces, the third with 3 blank spaces and so on.


Here is the result

Disable a user from logging off Windows

In order to make sure that a user always shuts down the Windows instead of logging off, you can disable the logging off options from the Windows. By disabling the logging off options, a user can either switch the user, or will have to shut down the system. He/she will not be able to log off the system, but will be able to shutdown the system.

In order to remove the logging off option from the Window, you'll have to remove the "Log Off" from the start menu and from the Task Manager as well.

1. Remove Log Off option from Task Manager

In order to remove the "log off " menu option from the Task Manager's menu, do as follows:

  1. Open Group Policy Editor (Start->Run->"gpedit.msc")
  2. On the left go to, User Configuration->Administrative Templates->System->Ctrl+Alt+Del Options.
  3. On the right, Enable this setting "Remove Logoff". (see figure below)

This setting does not let the user log off the system by using any method, including programs run from the command line, such as scripts. It also disables or removes all menu items and buttons that log the user off the system except from the Start Menu.

2. Remove Log Off from the Start Menu

To remove the log off button from the Start Menu, do as follows:

  1. Open Group Policy Editor (Start->Run->"gpedit.msc")
  2. On the left go to, User Configuration->Administrative Templates->Start Menu and Taskbar.
  3. On the right, Enable this setting "Remove Logoff on the Start Menu". (see figure below)
If you enable this setting, the Log Off item does not appear in the Start menu. This setting also removes the Display Logoff item from Start Menu Options. As a result, users cannot restore the Log Off item to the Start Menu.
