How to hide files in JPEG pictures
Using a simple trick in Windows, you can actually hide a file inside of the JPG picture file!
You can hide any type of file inside of an image file, including txt, exe, mp3, avi, or whatever else. Not only that, you can actually store many files inside of single JPG file, not just one!
Hide File in Picture
- Create a folder on your hard drive, i.e. C:\Test and put in all of the files that you want to hide into that folder. Also, place the image that you will be using to hide the files in.
- Now select all of the files that you want to hide, right-click on them, and choose the option to add them to a compressed ZIP or RAR file. Only select the files you want to hide, not the picture. Name it whatever you want, i,e. “Hidden.rar”.
- Now you should have a folder that looks something like this with files, a JPG image, and a compressed archive:
- Now here’s the fun part! Click on Start, and then click on Run. Type in “CMD” without the quotes and press Enter. You should now see the command prompt window open. Type in “CD \” to get to the root directory. Then type CD and the directory name that you created, i.e. “CD Test“.
- Now type in the following line: “copy /b DSC06578.JPG + Hidden.rar DSC06578.jpg” and press Enter. Do not use the quotes. You should get a response like below:
Just make sure that you check the file extension on the compressed file, whether it is .ZIP or .RAR as you have to type out the entire file name with extension in the command. I have heard that some people say that they have had problems doing this with a .ZIP extension, so if that doesn’t work, make sure to compress to a .RAR file.
And that’s it! The picture file will have been updated with the compressed archive inside! You can actually check the file size of the picture and see that it has increased by the same amount as the size of the archive.
You can access your hidden file in two ways. Firstly, simply change the extension to .RAR and open the file using WinRAR. Secondly, you can just right-click on the JPG image and choose Open With and then scroll down to WinRAR. Either way, you’ll see your hidden files show up that you can then extract out.
That’s it! That is all it takes to hide files inside JPG picture files! It’s a great way simply because not many people know it’s possible and no one even thinks about a picture as having to the ability to “hide” files. Enjoy!
How to Create a CON folder in Windows?
TYPE-1
how to create "CON" folder in windows system
1>create a folder
2> rename with CON
3>press alt+255
4> when you rename with con at that time press alt+255+enter
5>enjoy my friend
TYPE-2
Open the Command prompt by Start -> Run and typing cmd
Now, Open My Computer and browse through the path where you created CON folder... Surprising.. ?? Yeah.. you have created it successfully
Now, try to delete the folder from My computer
OOPS!!! You cant delete it...
Now, try this in command prompt console
Yeah!! You did it...
Not only CON, we cannot create any of these
CON, PRN, AUX, CLOCK$, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, LPT9 and more
The reason is that con, prn, lpt1..lpt9, etc are underlying devices from the time dos was written. so if u r allowed to create such folders, there will be an ambiguity in where to write data when the data is supposed to go to the specified devices. In other words, if i want to print something, internally what windows does is -- it will write the data to the folder prn (virtually u can call it a folder, i mean prn, con, etc are virtual folders in device level). So if we are able to create con folder, windows will get confused where to write the data, to virtual con folder or real one.
2> rename with CON
3>press alt+255

How to create macros in MS Word
Do you always perform repeated tasks in Microsoft Word? Repeated tasks, if not automated are prone to human errors. If you perform a task repeatedly in Microsoft Word, you can automate the task by using a macro.
A macro is a series of Word commands and instructions that you group together as a single command to accomplish a task automatically. Since not all of us are programmers who can write code in Visual Basic, I will show you a way to create macros without even writing code.
First open up your Word document then click Tools > Macro > Record New Macro
According to the help document the macro recorder in Word acts like a tape recorder. It records your deliberate keystrokes and mouse button clicks … when you record a macro, you can use the mouse to click commands and options, but not to select text.
You must use the keyboard to record these actions. For example, you can use F8 to select text and press END to move the cursor to the end of the line. Remember that it records keystrokes and mouse clicks only.
When you record a macro it will ask for a macro name so assign it a descriptive macro name. After that click the OK button to record the macro.
Once you see the recording toolbar, enter the keystrokes that you want to record. In the example below I indented the first line of the paragraph(TAB) then I selected all (Control-A) then I applied the bold format(Control-B). After this I stopped the recording of macro by clicking the stop button.
The macro will be saved and you can run it by clicking the run macro command (or Alt-F8) from the Tools menu.
Before the macro run:
Now that you know how to make macros by recording keystrokes and mouse clicks, apply this tip on your own repeated tasks. This will increase your productivity and also you quality of work.
How to insert a graphic header in Excel
Want graphics in the header of an Excel spreadsheet? Sounds so easy to do, right? At first this task looks like a piece of cake, but after a while I realized that when I actually want to see the header on every page that I print, I ended up scratching my head.
My first try only printed the header on the first page but I wanted to have the header printed on all the pages. I will show you how to do this properly without pasting the header on every page break.
First open a new workbook in Excel then insert your choice of picture or image by clicking on the Insert Tab then click Picture
· Browse to the location of the picture or image and then click Insert.
· After the picture or image has been inserted, re size it to your preference.
· After resizing the picture or image, click on the Page Layout tab then click Print Titles.
· In the Page Setup window, choose the Sheet tab then click the icon of Rows to repeat at top. This is the most critical step since now we are telling Excel to print a repeated title on every page.
· A small arrow will appear. Use this arrow cursor to determine the location of the page header. Select the start and end rows of the graphic. In the example below I chose rows 1 to 4.
· You will see on the dialogue box $1:$4 because the image occupies cell 1 to 4. After selecting the cells occupied by the image hit enter then click ok on page setup window.
· Click Print > Print Preview to see the graphic header. The header will be displayed on every page of your worksheet.
· The figure below shows the example preview of each page in the workbook.

- the formatting is stripped out
- the importing is error free and you won’t worry about accidentally missing a row or a column
- you can refresh or synch the data by a click of a button

Change The Default Location For Installing Apps
As the size of hardrives increase, more people are using partitions to seperate and store groups of files.
XP uses the C:\Program Files directory as the default base directory into which new programs are installed. However, you can change the default installation drive and/ or directory by using a Registry hack.
Firstly, you’re going to want to make a backup of your registry before making any changes. You can back it up by opening the registry editor and choosing File and then Export.
Run the Registry Editor (regedit)and go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
By default,this value will be C:\Program Files. Edit the value to any valid drive or folder and XP will use that new location as the default installation directory for new programs.
Now look for a key in the right panel called ProgramFilesDir. You should see that the value is C:\Program Files.
Now you can change the path where ever you like to install the programs by default.
