Computer -Tips and Tricks

There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies. Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival. Check out the things that you can do with it:

1. Emergency

The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile; network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.


2. Have you locked your keys in the car?

Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their mobile phone from your cell phone.

Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other "remote" for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).

3. Hidden Battery Power

Imagine your mobile battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370# Your mobile will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your mobile next time.

4. How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?

To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following digits on your phone!:

star-hash-zero-six-hash

* # 0 6 #

A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. When your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.

This works fine on a XP machine.

Hey! found this script(vbscript) that asks you to enter a word or a sentence in an inputbox and later the system will speak out those words. This works fine on Windows XP, but never tried it on a Vista machine. Try it:-

Dim msg, sapi
msg=InputBox("Enter your text","Talk it")
Set sapi=CreateObject("sapi.spvoice")
sapi.Speak msg

Just copy and paste the above code in notepad. Save it with any name but an extension .vbs
say for example speak.vbs.
After saving open it and write anything in the inputbox and press the OK button.
And Listen!!

Hey! This one is good. If you really look to try different things this one is for you.
Instead of pressing the button open up your CD/DVD drive by a simple process.

Set oWMP = CreateObject("WMPlayer.OCX.7" )
Set colCDROMs = oWMP.cdromCollection

if colCDROMs.Count >= 1 then
For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count - 1
colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject
Next ' cdrom
End If

Copy Paste the above script on notepad. Save it with any name say "eject" and witha extension .vbs like eject.vbs.

After saving open the file and see the drive open up.

Hey friends, it is been one complete year doing my Bachelor's in computers.
And through this blog I would we telling you the various unknowns of the computer system, it's softwares, security tips and all.
Putting on the first one are some bugs in your computer system you never ever noticed.

• Nobody can create a FOLDER anywhere on the computer which can be named as "CON". This is something pretty cool...and unbelievable. TRY IT NOW ,IT WILL NOT CREATE " CON " FOLDER.
• 1.) Open an empty notepad file
  2.) Type "Bush hid the facts" (without the quotes)
  3.) Save it as whatever you want.
  4.) Close it, and re-open it.
  Is it just a really weird bug??? It appears that a lot of other character strings in the pattern 4 letters, 3 letters, 3 letters and 5 letters will give the same result. For example, the phrase "Bill fed the goats" also displays the garbled text.
  
  In fact, even a line of text such as "hhhh hhh hhh hhhhh" will elicit the same results.
  some character strings that fit the "4,3,3,5" pattern do not generate the error. For example, the phrase "Bush hid the truth" is displayed normally
  "Fred led the brats", "brad ate the trees" and other strings also escape the error.
  Probably that a certain combination and/or frequency of letters in the character string cause Notepad to misinterpret the encoding of the file when it is re-opened. If the file is originally saved as "Unicode" rather than "ANSI" the text displays correctly. Older versions of Notepad such as those that came with Windows 95, 98 or ME do not include Unicode support so the error does not occur.
• Open Microsoft Word and type
  
  =rand (200, 99)
  
  And then press ENTER
  then see the magic.
• This last one for now. Goto NOTEPAD:
  type "Q33N". Now change the font size to 72 and change the font to "WINGDINGS".
  Now see the magic.For 9/11 WTC ATTACK, the planes that crashed -one had the number "Q33N".
  Now if you will try typing Q33N after font changing it won't work.
