For those who are wondering how to make use of these shortcuts, here’s one trick I use. Create a shortcut in your Documents folder or on the Desktop. Call it something distinctive, like My Custom Control Panel. Now create a handful of GUID-based folders in here for the Control Panel shortcuts and shell folders you use most often. When you open that folder, you’ll see only the items you want, with no additional clutter. Unlike standard shortcuts, there’s no little arrow on the icon, and the Address bar always allows you to go right back to your custom folder. If you drag that icon onto the Start menu or onto the Taskbar’s icon, you can pin it for quicker access.

How to Enable the God Mode in Win 7 and Why it is Overrated

A goofy “trick” has been making the rounds , which was described by Ina Fried on CNET as follows:

“By creating a new folder in Windows 7 and renaming it with a certain text string at the end, users are able to have a single place to do everything from changing the look of the mouse pointer to making a new hard drive partition.”

Apparently people decided to call this “God Mode in Win 7” because to enable this “trick” you make a folder called GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} and double-click on it.  Now you can see… the control panel.  With a slightly different view than you normally see it in.

So first off, why is this completely silly?  Well, the text “GodMode” has nothing to do with making the trick work.  You can call the folder “EvilMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}”and now you’ve discovered the magical “EvilMode” feature hidden in Windows!

Well, not really.  What you’ve actually discovered are two things:

First, you’ve discovered a documented feature of the shell whereby filesystem folders can be easily made into namespace junctions, as described here on MSDN. Basically, any folder named will show up with just the portion visible in Explorer, and navigating into the folder will take you to the namespace root defined by the  portion of the name.  This isn’t a user feature, it’s a developer feature.

The second thing you’ve discovered is the “All Tasks” folder.  This is a special shell folder which is used as the source of the “Control Panel” search results seen in the Start menu.  This folder was not designed to be browsed to directly, as the normal Control Panel folder (accessible via Start Control Panel) contains all the same items but with a custom view designed to be easier to navigate.  The “All Tasks” folder has no custom view, so you just see the standard Explorer list view and little else.

Apple’s iCloud: Everything You Wanted To Know

What to Expect From Apple’s iCloud

It was a moment with mixed feelings when Steve Jobs introduced iCloud to the world at Apple’s annual WWDC [Worldwide Developers Conference] in San Francisco. As he introduced Apple’s long-awaited iCloud service and platform, Jobs noted how the act of synchronizing multiple devices has “broken down” of late.

Noting that devices have changed over the past decade, with people now using photos and videos on the go, the PC should no longer be the hub for your digital life, with all media hosted on the computer. “Keeping these devices in sync is driving us crazy,” Steve told the crowd.

What is iCloud?

To address the new reality, Apple Inc. has moved the digital hub to the cloud. iCloud stores your music, photos, apps, calendars, documents, and more. And wirelessly pushes them to all your devices — automatically. It’s the easiest way to manage your content.

All iOS devices can talk to the cloud whenever they want, with instant propagation to all other devices. With iCloud, users get 5GB of free storage for mail, documents and backups; purchased music, apps and books don’t count.

iCloud completely replaces MobileMe. Mail, contacts, and calendar are all free. Contacts and calendars will be updated across devices, just like they currently do, but there are several new components to iCloud.

“Some people think a cloud is just a hard disk in the sky,” Steve told the crowd. “We think it’s way more than that.” iCloud stores content (think contacts, calendar, photos, music), with wireless push to all devices. And with APIs providing developers with hooks into iCloud, all apps can take advantage of the service.

However, bandwidth constraints are still a huge challenge. So with content like movies, which require so much space, we’ll have to see what happens. But just starting with documents, cloud computing will fundamentally change how we write and collaborate on projects.

How to Make an Autorun CD?

Have you ever noticed whenever you insert any game or software CD (consider Windows XP Operating system) it automatically runs the CD.

If you want to make the same type of autorun CD than you have to open notepad file and write the following code in it.

[autorun]

OPEN=INSTALL\Setup_filename.EXE

Here “Setup_filename.EXE” MUST be replaced with the name of the setup file. And also remember that it is not all of the setup files there are called “.exe” but some are called “.msi”

Now save it as a “.inf” file not as a “.txt” file. Burn your CD with the autorun.inf file included and set the CD in your CD-drive and waits for the autorun to begin or if nothing happens just double-click on the CD drive.
