How to hide files in JPEG pictures

 

If you’re looking to hide files on your PC hard drive, you may have read about ways to encrypt folders or change the attributes on a file so that they cannot be accessed by others. However, a lot of times hiding files or folders in that way requires that you install some sort of software on your computer, which could then be spotted by someone else and which is also a lengthy process. But this is a cool trick which shows you a new way of hiding the files or folders that you want to keep safe. Using this trick in Windows Operating System, you can actually hide the files inside the pictures with JPEG format.
This is a superb trick which supports you to hide any sort of files inside the picture including .mp3, .exe, .txt etc.
So, here is the procedure you have to follow for hiding the files inside the pictures.
In order to perform this task you need to have WinRAR or WinZIP software installed on your PC. You can download either of these two soft wares from internet.Follow these steps:

• Create a folder in your hard drive i.e C:\Test and put all the files you want to hide into that folder. Also, place the image that you will be using to hide the files in.
• Now select the files 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 what ever you want, i.e "Hiddenfiles.rar"
• Now you should have a folder that looks something like this with files, a JPEG image, and a compressed archive.
• Now here's the important part. Click on Start button and click on Run. Type cmd and press Enter. Now you'll see the command prompt window. Type in 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 0436 .JPG + Hidden.rar 0436.jpg”and press Enter. Do not use the quotes.
• It's better to use WinRAR than WinZIP because of some problems with ZIP format.
• 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 JPEG 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.
• Screen shots for the above process:-

That's it this is all what we have to do to hide the files inside a JPEG picture. Enjoy with hiding your files inside pictures guyz........have fun.:-)

how to Block Ads while surfing... without Firewall/Ad blocker

Hi frienz... I'm back again. Many of us get fed up with the damn blinking Ads and their respective URLs while surfing the internet. So, we get frustrated. Better be cool, and just think. If we can redirect a URL (DNS) then we can also Block it [Redirect it to Localhost]. So Why don't use it for Blocking Sites/AD URIs. It would be great to do so without configuring firewall, also many Browsers say Chrome Doesn't Support Plugins like Ad Blocker, so it will be boon for those users.

So here is the way you can do it.

> Open Notepad
> File -> Open -> Copy the quoted text "%systemdrive%\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts" And Press enter to load up the file.
> It Should Look like the one below.

Copy the below code....

# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost

> Now Go to Edit -> Select All -> Press Delete.
> Copy the Text from here and Paste it in the Notepad and Save it.

Done! Now you should be able to Speed up the net by a teensy weensy bit [Great for Dialup / Net-From-GPRS Users].Plus no more of those irritating images and ADs.

Enjoy !

Unknown trick for U

An unknown trick to hide ur folders by changing it to "Recycle Bin".

Simple thing u have to do for hiding ur folder is rename the folder with the following extension
{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
for eg:
If u have a folder of movies press F2 and type the following code
"movies.{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"
Press enter and see the magic :)

Restart Your Phone

For all those Windows mobile geeks and developers who find it really prosaic to press the power button for a long time and then after confirming the power-off, pressing it again just to reboot the device, WM freeware has come up with an application called Windows Phone Rebooter which is a little toolkit that will enable you to conveniently soft reset your Windows phone with just a couple of menu clicks.s we all are aware of the fact that Windows Mobiles do not have an inbuilt menu-driven function to reboot the device, unlike the desktop Windows that users have been familiar with and accustomed to, Windows Phone Rebooter app comes handy here.

The software also automatically checks the availability of a new version or updates. Access to the Wireless Internet is done in a passive fashion, namely, such an access is tried only when a connection to the Wireless Internet has already been established, e.g. by IE mobile.

COMPATIBILITY :The app has been tested on WM Pocket PC 5 & above though it should work on earlier versions too.
