This little trick will allow you to switch your opened programs, pictures, etc, etc.. in 3D!

Something’s to note before you start is that you have Windows Aero enabled (otherwise this won’t work for you), i haven’t tried but i’m sure this trick would also work on Windows Vista since it also includes Windows Aero.

What we are going to do is create a shortcut that will allow us to use the 3D Flip (switch) feature with One Click – but there are other ways to use it for example the shortcut keys.

The first shortcut key is:  Windows Key + Tab

You will have to hold down the Windows Key and Press the Tab to switch around different windows.

The second shortcut key is: Ctrl + Windows Key + Tab

You don’t have to hold down any keys to switch here, after pressing the keys you can use the Tab key to move around or you can also use the Up and Down keys to navigate as well – when you need to switch to a certain window you just click on it with your mouse or you can use the Enter key when that Windows or Program is in the front.

For your convenience i am providing a link to download the shortcut, just incase you don’t want to do it yourself.

To start creating the shortcut, follow the below instructions:

• Right click on an empty space in your desktop goto New -> Shortcut (click it).

• When the window opens up to ask you of a location enter this: C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe DwmApi #105

• Click on the Next button.

• Type any name in the next window for your shortcut (it can be anything you want, for example – Flip 3D).

• That’s it..

• The next following steps will take you through the process of giving the shortcut it’s icon.

• Right click on the shortcut you just created and click Properties.

• The window that pops up will have a button named Change Icon, click it.

• Another pop up window appears, theres a text field type the following in it %SystemRoot%\System32\imageres.dll

• Press Enter

• New Icons appear, the one we want is the first one in the list, which should be selected by default.

• Click on OK, and we’re done.

For easier access i would recommend you Pin this to your taskbar, like in the below picture.

Requirements to use Windows 7 Aero Feature:

• 1 GHz 32-bit or 64-bit processor
• 1 GB of system memory
• A graphics card with support for DirectX 9 graphics with at least 128 MB of memory.
• The graphics card must support Pixel Shader 2.0 and the Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM).
• You must be have True Color (32 Bit) set rather than High Color (16 Bit).

Rapidshare has grown to become the leading file sharing service online, users who are limited to non-premium user account are often presented with timers or some other limitations.

Recently users have discovered ways of bypassing the download limits and skipping the waiting time.

I have been starting to use rapidshare much more often these days – i tried out this method and it worked out perfectly fine. I tried this on IE 7, IE 8 and Firefox 3.0.7 without any issues.

Lets begin, continue reading below..

Click to Enlarge

• First open the web browser and enter your rapidshare download link.
• When the page loads, you are given two buttons Free & Premium.
• Click on Free – The next page loads and you see the timer starting like in the above image.
• When you see that timer start just input this into your browser: javascript:alert(c=-1) and press ENTER.

The timer should disappear and now you can download easily without any waiting

 Hope that helped

Free your system memory by using this simple trick.

Have you noticed that all your used system resources are freed up when you restart your computer? – Your system runs much faster after restarting that’s because it frees up all the system memory that was used in the last session.

Using this trick you can restart your system (free system memory) by just one click and it only takes only 5 secs.

Just follow the below instructions to get started:

• Right Click anywhere on the empty desktop and Select – New -> Shortcut.
• When prompted with a box to select a file,  Type or Copy/Paste this: -

%windir%\system32\rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks


• Then finally you can give your shortcut a name “Quick Restart” or anything you like.

In the end when its all said and done - all you have to do now is Double Click the newly created shortcut to free up your system / computer memory.

You can also change your shortcut icon to make it appear different on the desktop

Try this out when you feel your computer is starting to run slow.

Note:- It is best if you close any opened applications (if possible).

Hello

Recently when i opened Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended, i came accross an error that was preventing me from selecting any controls.

The Hand Tool was selected by default and i wasn’t able to select anything else.

The solution was pretty simple, but took awhile to figure out.

• Close all adobe applications running then goto C Drive
• Open Documents and Setting Folder
• Then $USER Directory (This is your logon username)
• Open Application Data Folder
• Open Adobe Folder
• Finally you should see the folder Adobe Photoshop CS3 – Don’t delete it, instead rename it to something else (i.e Old_Adobe Photoshop Cs3).

Hopefully your problem should be solved

But hold on a second, i’ve noticed that some people have reported that using this method they get another error that says an error something like Something prevented the Text Engine. If thats the case continue reading below.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended – Something Prevented The Text Engine
