Using your computer as your alarm clock

Using your computer as your alarm clock.

What does every teen do? Go to school. And what does every teen use to wake up? Either a radio alarm that plays anything you want as long as its static, or a loud, obnoxious BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ until you throw it out the window. How can you save money on broken alarm clocks which can add up after a while? Use your computer to play your favorite song at the time you need to wake up. Who would have thought of that? You’ve got a computer in your room that is turned on 24/7, so it’s available, and you’ve also got an alarm that is on 24/7 that is annoying. Throw the alarm out the window once and for all and use your computer.

I’ve split this guide into two portions. The first is for all of you Windows users out there, and the second part is for all of you Linux users out there.

Windows

Windows is quite simple to get set up as a fully working alarm clock. All you need is your favorite music playing software. I prefer to use WinAmp because it’s small, and has a few other options that you can use (streaming to other computers to wake up the whole house for instance ), but you can use others, such as iTunes. Next, you need a playlist file, which we will use a .M3U file, which is basically just a list of songs, but it also plays with iTunes (I have not tested it with Windows Media Player). This file is just a simple text file that lists the songs you want played (everything must be in the same “folder” for this to work without jumping through too many hoops). Finally, you need your volume up. Not loud enough that it wakes up the people three doors down (no pun intended) from you, but lound enough to get you awake and into your usual routine.

Step 1:
Collect your music. It doesn’t matter where you get it from, as long as whatever music player your using can play it (as a rule of thumb, just stick with MP3s).

Step 2:
Build your .M3U playlist file. Using “Notepad” (under “Accessories” in the start menu), it creates a pure text file without any formatting that Microsoft Word or Wordpad will put in it.

Here’s the look of the .M3U file:

#EXTM3U
song1.mp3
song2.mp3
song3.mp3
and so on.mp3

Just save this as “alarm.m3u” to wherever your music is saved.

Step 3:
Create a “batch” file that will start your playlist. A batch file is simple in this respect. Run a single command that opens and starts playing your playlist automatically. Save this as “alarm.bat” in the same place as your playlist file.

Here’s what your batch file should look like:

start alarm.m3u

And that’s it for the file portion of the alarm clock.

Step 4:
Create a “Scheduled Task” to start the batch file at the desired time. Under the “Control Panel”, there is an “applet” called “Scheduled Tasks.” Create a new task, and where it asks for the program to run “Browse” to the “alarm.bat” file that we created earlier. Set the time, and you have yourself a custom alarm clock.

Note:
If you set your music player to shuffle, it won’t start with the same song every morning.

Using Regdevelop to create Windows Update Registry Program

This tip will save you a lot of time removing some annoyances to your computer problems

windowsupdatecheckboxoptions

One day, your computer automatically updates your windows installation, taking some few control out of it is good in our daily maintenance of our computer e.g. Turning off Autorun feature in Windows 7 and Windows update registry hacks.

Instead of going to the process again and again for maintenance and using the registry editor, just create a simple software for that.

If you have some experiences editing your windows registry, using Regdevelop is quite easy.

Drag the CheckBox control to the form and start configuring the program

checkbox

Stop Windows update from changing the sleep/shutdown to “Install Updates and Shutdown"

RegKeyPath1

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftWindowsWindowsUpdateAU

Value_Name1

NoAUAsDefaultShutdownOption

ValueData1

ValueType1

DWORD

In the UNCHEKED function of CheckBox Control simply changing the option to false will automatically set the ValueData2 to 0

uncheckedfalse

After that, you can proceed with other checkbox options like getting rid of Windows update option

No Auto Reboot While Users are Logged On and Turning Off Windows from searching for Updates

Read here for the configuration details

Also, There’s an “Automatic installation of certain updates that neither interrupt Windows services nor restart Windows” feature in windows using AutoInstallMinorUpdates value

Using Free Download Manager In Firefox 6

Using Free Download Manager In Firefox 6, Free Download Manager is a download manager that has long been the default I use and I think this FDM has the performance and excellent quality.

In my area an Internet connection can only use GPRS, and GPRS network the fastest in the county (max 40 Kbps) GPRS only from Telkmosel. So because the network is stuck in there, but I am not satisfied with the speed like that, then my search kumulailah om GOOGLE together, looking and looking for some tricks I was finally able to accelerate the interne connection.

This time I will discuss about the speed up downloading files using Download Manager

Sure Im not too experienced in terms of test trials, but there is little experience that I can pursue to friends,

Download Manager that I use are FDM (Free Download Manager)
Maybe there are friends who used to use FDMnya on Firefox version 5 .. but after the upgrade with the Fire Fox version 6.0 then it is not compatible anymore. Well to outsmart, in order to keep our pet FDM can be run using the following steps.

Download first add on fire fox that is flashgot (gogling definitely dapet aja). Once completed pengintsalan then install it on the toolbar firefox click tools then options, then click the download manager, we assume here we have installed FDM, click on the download manager box will display a lot of names download manager select a download manager that we install. Well finished setting it

Now try to enter the providers web file free download, click the download link, it will prompt appears, select flashgot (in the box beside it we can choose a download manager that weve ever installed) then click save then the file will be downloaded automatically using our FDM (or download manager of our choice).

Some days I did a test using the Download Manager is FlashGet and Free Download Manager, I did download the same file on the same site.

In conclusion = I prefer to use FDM because I feel a little faster (be advised that slow connection speeds up the software so it is) and not too disturbing when you are browsing while if FlashGet is fast but occasionally unstable, and the figures showed an average download speed below FDM (the results of testing me anyway) so its up friends, if anyone has any other experiences, please comment

UPDATE to the latest fersi FDM is compatible with fire fox 3, so if you want to use it no longer necessary to install FlashGot if you do not already have this please download FDM here

Using RegDevelop to create Customized Restrictions and Policies

The great thing for the software regdevelop is that, it lets you customize and create your own security policies based on Windows Registry in just few minutes.

customizesecurityrestriction

Last month, I started studying all the users interaction and they appear to move in random everyday even if they don’t understand and know the system itself.

Trial and error is always one of our instinct one way or another.

Restrictions

If your using the home edition or other limited version of Windows, the only way you can add restriction is to use third-party tools to easily modify the registry.

Using RegDevelop to Create your own customized Security Policies

You can find the program here

Using BCDEDIT to change and modify Windows Boot Entries

Booting is the so called “bootstrapping” that processes and starts the OS (operating system) when the user turns on the computer. A boot sequence is the initial group of operations that the computer operates.

bootloader

In Windows Server, 7 and Vista the bootloader file contains the necessary information is located in [root directory] ootmgr. For Windows XP, the file is tldr.

Bcdedit is a powerful tool that Windows Vista, 7 and Server 2008 uses to manage the boot entry option value in the Windows boot configuration data store (BCD).

Easiest way to edit the boot loader entry names

Open your Command Interpreter > Win + R > and type “cmd.exe” > and use the following command

bcdedit /set {current} description "any name"

Restart your computer to see the results…

For Windows XP users, you can read this old blog article that I wrote.

Note: It is important to backup the bcd entries first:

bcdedit /export c:savebcdentry

To undo the changes:

bcdedit /import c:savebcdentry

How to delete entry from the list

First, you need to know the identifier value by launching “bcdedit” as shown above and after that, you can now delete the entry “dummy OS” by using the command:

bcdedit /delete {a1d3593a-5b7-11e0-9e3c-d0a2d26a53be}

Hello Everyone!!

Today we are Posting about "How To Make a Bootable Pen Drive".

We all Use Windows, and Sometimes it gets Corrupted or We get a Lot of Virus and because of that we change Windows..

To Install Windows, we need a Bootable Disk ( NTFS type ) or a Bootable Pen Drive..

Usually, all the Disks ( DVDs ) are already NTFS Type, i.e., we Dont have to Follow any Step to Boot From Disk but when we Dont have a Bootable Disk, we need a Bootable Pen Drive to Boot From..

So, here are Some Steps that you Have to Follow to Make your Pen Drive Bootable..

Step 1.) Click Window Key and Type "cmd" and then Run it as Administrator.

Step 2.) After you have opened cmd, type "diskpart".

Step 3.) After that type "list disk". Then it will Show you Different Disks with Their Respective Labels.

Step 4.) Once you see the Disks, Choose the One which is your pen Drive. ( You can Recognize your Pen Drive by its Size )

Step 5.) Type "select disk 1". ( In my Case, my Pen Drive is the Disk 1 )

Using Subst command to create virtual drives

Subst is being use to associate or substitutes folders as virtual drives. The command lets you access data easily and By functionality, its almost the same as creating folders to computer window.

Lets try using the command by creating drive S: using the folder c:files.

type “cmd” at Start search, and follow the command below

commandprompt

s: – virtual drive letter

files – folder that you want to associate (c:files)

localdisk

Afterwards, you’ll see the virtual drive instantly. Anyway, the problem with the command, when the computer restarts, all created virtual drives will be deleted automatically.

So, Let’s solve and try loading the commands before logging into windows.

Open your Notepad and write the command

subst s: c:myfilesvideos
subst x: c: ackup

Use File > Save As and go to the following folder location

C:Users[username]AppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsStartup

Make sure that you Click ALL Files (*.*) and write the filename

subst_batchfile

Great?!

To delete any virtual drive use the command SUBST Drive /d

e.g. Subst s: /d

Usage

C:Usersmstouch>subst /?
Associates a path with a drive letter.

SUBST [drive1: [drive2:]path]

SUBST drive1: /D

drive1: Specifies a virtual drive to which you want to assign a path.

[drive2:]path

Specifies a physical drive and path you want to assign to a virtual drive.

/D Deletes a substituted (virtual) drive.

Type SUBST with no parameters to display a list of current virtual drives.

Windows 8 Setup Installing using the MBR or GPT partition style

Applies To: Windows 8.1

When installing Windows on UEFI-based PCs using Windows Setup, your hard drive partition style must be set up to support either UEFI mode or legacy BIOS-compatibility mode.

For example, if you receive the error message: “Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is not of the GPT partition style”, it’s because your PC is booted in UEFI mode, but your hard drive is not configured for UEFI mode. You’ve got a few options:

Reboot the PC in legacy BIOS-compatibility mode. This option lets you keep the existing partition style.
Reformat the drive for UEFI by using the GPT partition style. This option lets you use the PC’s UEFI firmware features.
