Yesterday i came to know about Winamp 5.5 which was recently released , My friends Brown Baron and Sizlopedia has done a nice review of it . Then i came to know that even a new version of Real Player ,i.e. Real Player 11 is also out and it is being touted as the best real player till date. (more…)

Generally when we wish to lock a folder , we use softwares such as Folder Lock . However you can achieve almost the same thing without the use of any software . The trick which i am going to tell you will make your folder change into control panel , so if anyone tries to open it , the control panel will open and your data will remain hidden . Here’s what you need to do .

1. You have a directory F:\games which you want to lock
2. Open the notepad and type the following ren games games.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}
3. Save the following with the “.bat” extension , this file should be kept in the same drive in which the folder exists and will be used for locking the folder so give a suitable name such as lock.bat
4. Now open a new file in notepad and type the following ren games.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} games
5. This file will be used to unlock the folder , name it as “unlock.bat” . You can use any other name but use the .bat extension.
6. Both the files should be in the directory in which the folder exists . Double click the “lock.bat” to lock the folder . the folder will change its icon to that of control panel and anyone who opens the folder will see the control panel contents.
7. Double Click ”unlock.bat” and you will get your original folder .
8. For further security you can save both the files anywhere else and copy them only when you need to lock or unlock.

I recently formatted my computer and installed Windows XP along with Windows Vista . I would like to find out which antivirus software you guys are using . I have been using Norton Antivirus 2005 in my Windows XP but it doesnt work in Windows Vista, also the latest version of Norton takes a lot of system resources.

Please recommend and tell me through comments which antivirus or anti-spyware software are you using ?

Sometimes we might get frustrated with .rm files if we have to use different music players to play these files. An option would be to use a rm to mp3 converter to convert or real player files to mp3 so that we can play them on our favourite music players like Windows Media Player or Winamp .

There is a way , a little codec that enables you to play .rm files in Winamp also. After installing Winamp and real player , install this codec . After that you will be able to play your .rm files in Winamp without the use of Real Player.
