Disabling Error Reporting

Sorry for infrequent posts, but my exams are nearing and I can't help it.

Nevertheless, here is a simple trick which my friend told me about:

The error report sending message is quite annoying as it continuously pops up.

Here is a simple way to get it out of way:

1. Go to Start -> Control panel.

2. Go to system.

3. Go to the Advanced tab.

4. Under the Advanced tab, at the bottom click on ‘Error reporting’.

Now click on ‘Disable error reporting’.

Thats all for today.

Hiding Files In A Pic

Requirement: WinRAR

1. Collect all the files which you wish to hide.


2. Place them in any folder. [I chose E:\NF].


3. Make a RAR archive [ I made qwerty.rar ] in the same folder [ here E:\NF] and add all the files that you want to hide in this archive.


4. Take a JPEG picture file [ I have taken rose.jpg ].


5. Paste this JPEG picture file in your folder/directory [ e.g.- I posted rose.jpg in E:\NF ].


6. Go to Start > Run and type cmd to open Command Prompt

[ Alternatively, you can open the Command Prompt from the Start Menu ].


7. Make your directory as your working directory.e.g. – My Command Prompt displayed 

H:\Documents and Settings\HHH>

The steps are-
• H:\Documents and Settings\HHH> E:
• E:\>cd NF
• E:\NF>


8. Type :

COPY /B rose.jpg + qwerty.rar hide.jpg


NOTE- rose.jpg is the picture you selected

qwerty.rar is the archive in which you have hidden your files

hide.jpg is the new file that contains both the above-mentioned files

/B is a switch indicating a binary file


9. Open your folder [ like I will open NF in drive E: ].


10. You will get a file hide.jpg [ or of any other name, if you had selected a different name].


11. Double clicking it will display the photograph.


12. To see the hidden files simply open it with WinRAR.


THIS TRICK WORKS IN XP BUT I AM NOT SURE ABOUT VISTA.
IF IT DOES, PLEASE LET ME KNOW ABOUT IT.

· Go to Customize > Change Icon.· A dialog-box will come up showing a variety of icons.


· In the dialog-box displayed,you'll find empty spaces between icons.Select one and press OK.

· Your folder would have become invisible! However, you can still use it as a normal folder.

Writing In Zip File

Here is a new trick, discovered by me today itself. Well it is a very simple trick to keep away your little bros and sis from your personal documents.

Steps:


• Create a simple .zip file.[Do not use any software like WinZip, I am not sure whether it works with the professional softwares but I will soon let you know].



• Right-click on the zip file and open it with Wordpad.



• Type the text that you want to hide.• Save the file and close Wordpad.



• Open the Command prompt [ Start > Run & type “cmd” { without quotes } ].



• Write this command:ATTRIB +S [path] [filename]

{ REPLACE THE “path” WITH THE PATH OF YOUR ZIP FILE AND THE “filename” WITH THE NAME OF YOUR ZIP FILE }.

This will make the zip file a system file and if you will delete it, it will show a warning!



• Now, to read/edit your file simply open the zip file with Wordpad.



• Keep this zip file safe so that you do not delete it accidentally.



Note- Do not put anything in the zip file else, all that you have written will be lost. In order to prevent this, simply delete the first line when you open the zip file, for the first time, in Wordpad. This will make the zip file corrupted and will prevent automatic addition of any content.
