Transfer files from an Android device to a PC

Previously files transfer is done through data cables or by Bluetooth. But now a days technology has been advanced a lot, In case of Bluetooth transfer, both devices ( Mobile & Laptop/Desktop) must posses Bluetooth device, but now days most laptops are not having such facility and even the transfer rates are much less, in case of data cables these are becoming a problem just think in case if you forgot the cable and still want to transfer the files to another device. Recently I found an app to avoid all such situations relating to Android devices, here file transfer is possible through WI-FI. Just download this WiFi File Transfer application from the android market and enjoy the transferring.

Disable accidental clicks while typing on your laptop


If you've ever worked on a laptop computer with a touchpad it is inevitable that you will mistakenly touch the touchpad while typing, causing the mouse to jump or cursor to move and interrupt your typing. Download and install Touchpad Blocker, a fantastic free utility that can run in the background and detect and block any time you mistakenly touch the touchpad (or your computer thinks you have.) As can be seen in the picture to the right, this utility can be customized to help make sure it only blocks the real mistakes and can be turned on and off with a shortcut key.

Some Windows 8 tips and tricks

Customize your tiles

 Make the most of your Windows Start screen tiles by adjusting the sizes, where they are located, and what is listed.
    • Move any tile by clicking and dragging the tile. While moving a tile, if you need a larger view of the Start screen move the tile towards the top or bottom of the screen to zoom out.
    • Use your mouse wheel to scroll left-to-right through your tiles.
    • Any Desktop shortcut or program can be pinned to the Start screen by right-clicking the icon and choosing Pin to Start.
    • In the bottom right-hand corner of the start screen is a magnifying glass with tiles, click this icon to get a zoomed out view of your Start screen. In this view, if you right-click on a group of tiles you'll be given the option to name group, which can be useful if you have a group of related tiles (e.g. games). In this view, you can also click and drag a group to organize your tile groups.
    • Create a new speed bump between tile groups by moving a tile to a speed bump.
    • Resize any User tile or Live tile by right-clicking the tile and choosing resize.
    • If there is a tile you want on your Taskbar, right-click the tile and choose Pin to taskbar.
    • Show admin applications on the Start screen by clicking Settings in Charms, click Settings, and change the Show administrative tools from No to Yes.
    • In Internet Explorer 10, you can also pin any of your favorite web pages to your Start Screen.

    Windows 8 keyboard shortcuts 

     Knowing at least some of the Windows 8 keyboard shortcuts will make your Windows 8 experience much more enjoyable. Try to memorize these top Windows 8 shortcut keys.
    • Press the Windows key to open the Start screen or switch to the Desktop (if open).
    • Press the Windows key + D will open the Windows Desktop.
    • Press the Windows key + . to pin and unpin Windows apps on the side of the screen.
    • Press the Windows key + X to open the power user menu, which gives you access to many of the features most power users would want (e.g. Device Manager and Command Prompt).
    • Press the Windows key + C to open the Charms.
    • Press the Windows key + I to open the Settings, which is the same Settings found in Charms.
    • Press and hold the Windows key + Tab to show open apps.
    • Press the Windows key + Print screen to create a screen shot, which is automatically saved into your My Pictures folder.

    Know your hot corners

    The corners on your screen are hot corners and give you access to different Windows features. Below, is a brief explanation of each of these corners.

    Bottom Left-hand corner

    The bottom left-hand hot corner of the screen will allow you to access the Start screen, if you're in the Start screen and have the Desktop open, this corner will open the Desktop from the Start screen.
    Tip: Right-clicking in the left hand corner will open the power user menu

    Top-left corner of the screen

    Moving the mouse to the top-left corner and then down will display all the apps running on the computer. Clicking and dragging any of these apps to the left or right-hand side of the screen will snap that app to that side of the screen. Each of these open app icons can also be right-clicked to close or snap.

    Right-hand side of the screen

    On the full right-hand side of the screen will be given access to the Windows Charms.

    Taking advantage of search

    The Search in Windows 8 has been significantly improved when compared to all previous versions of Windows. To search for a file or run a program in Windows 8 from the Start screen just start typing what you're trying to find or want to run.
    As you begin typing, the results will start appearing on the left-hand side. In addition to being able to search for files and run programs, the Search also supports limiting the search to apps such as Finance, People, Maps, Photos, Mail, Music, Videos, Weather, and much more. If what you are searching for is not a file or program, click on the app you wish to use as the search. For example, if you were searching for "New York" and selected the Weather App you would be shown the weather in New York, NY.

    By default, Search organizes the available Apps by how frequently they are used and then in alphabetical order. If you want to keep your favorite app at the top of the Search list, right-click the app and choose Pin. Pinning the app will lock it in place regardless of how often it is used. If there is an app you don't want (e.g. Finance) you can turn on and off any of the search apps through the PC settings, which is found under the Settings in the Charms.
    Bonus tip: The Search is also found through Charms and can also be opened by pressing Windows key + F.

    Running two apps side by side

    Any app can be pinned to the left or right-hand side of the screen. For example, open the People app and then press the Windows Key + . (period) to move that app to the right-hand side of the screen, pressing the same keys again will move it to the left-hand side, and pressing the same keys again will make it full screen. While an app is pinned, any other app or program can be opened and loaded into the available space on the screen. For example, in the below picture, we've opened a browser window and have the People app running to monitor our social networks.

    Any open app can also be pinned using your mouse by clicking at the top of the tile and dragging it to the left or right-hand side of the screen.
    Bonus tip: The Desktop can also be pinned to the left or right-hand side of the screen.
    Note: In order for snap to work properly your resolution must be at least 1,366 x 768.

    Windows 8 Task Manager

    The Windows 8 Task Manager has been significantly improved over previous versions of Windows. Some of the new changes include showing a total percent usage at the top of your Processes, which makes it easier to determine total memory and CPU usage, improved Performance graphs, a Startup tab to see startup processes and their impact to system performance, and the App history tab (as shown below) that gives you the total resources an app has used over a period of time. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to start exploring the new Task Manager.

    Use a picture password to log into your computer

    Windows 8 includes a new feature called Picture password, which allows you to authenticate with the computer using a series of gestures that include circles, straight lines, and taps. Enable this feature if you want a new way to access your computer or have a hard time with passwords.
  • Open the Windows Charms.
  • Click Settings and then More PC settings
  • In the PC settings window click Users and then select Create a picture password.

    Take advantage of Windows 8 apps

           Windows 8 comes included with several apps to help you get the most from your computer. Below    are just a few of the included apps.

People

Microsoft touts the People feature in Windows 8 because they understand how many people are using social networks today. In the People feature you'll be able to connect your Windows computer to all the major social networks including Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. Once connected, you can pin the people app and monitor your social network (as shown below), use People in Search to find people, and get an overview of what is happening in all your social networks.

Reader

The Reader app will give you PDF support right out of the box.

SkyDrive

The SkyDrive app will give you access to the Microsoft cloud service SkyDrive, which allows you to store your photos, documents, and other files in the cloud and access or share those files with any computer with Internet access.

Store

Take advantage of the Windows Store and install one or more of the thousands of available apps designed for Windows 8. The Store is found in the Start screen, or use Search to search the Store app for any apps that you are trying to find.

Hope you will enjoy these tips

How to unlock security keyguard code for Nokia phones?

Sometimes we put password for security keyguard but any how we get error to unlock the phone. As per my experience following tricks will help you a lot

1.Try the password ‘12345’.It is default password for all Nokia phone security keyguard.
2.If it did not work try to regain password you changed and try entering by switch off –on your phone.
3.Finally just remind what you have done while locking keyguard. And use same method to unlock the phone e.g. If you are listening music through head phones and locked the phone then use same method. Connect headphone and enter the changed password to unlock. My case this was worked. Also other tricks are like while charging, Sim card removal and insert etc.

Other than above traditional way below are some technical-online tricks will help you-

1.Go to following site. Go to “Forgotten your Nokia security code? Click here”. Enter your IMEI number(You will find this number on your mobile bill or on handset box)
http://www.trycktill.com/eng/unlock_swe.asp

Once you click then in below window you will get new security code like 3644263089. Enter and unlock security keyguard. There is other site also which same as above. Below is its link
http://www.unlockitfree.com/

2.Sometimes you will get code generated from above sites in following manner
#pw+3644263089+1# .To use this code you should use keypad *key to enter the alphabets and arithmetic signs. e.g. press * 3 times to enter ‘p’ character.

3.Try both the ways to enter the security code above. That means if you get only code then use’ #pw+’ before and ‘+1#’ end of the number.
Below is method which is suggested me by Nokia help desk
First type 11111 then 22222 up to 99999 repeating for 3, 4, 5,6,7,8 digits finally 00000.
Then take battery out and wait a good 10 minutes this resets the code. Turn your phone on and repeat the same process above in the same order and wait 10 more minutes. Once turn it on it will ask for your security code. As you have followed the steps the code will now be to the default of ‘12345’ then enter your new code to change it.

If all the above did not work then contact retailer or Nokia help desk to get it unlocked.

Hope this information will help you all.

How to allow users to Run only specified programs in Windows 7?

You can allow users to run only specified programs in Windows 7 operating systems. It is up to you if you want your shared computer to allow users to run only specified programs in Windows 7. A shared computer in an office, for example, can be set in the same way if the company does not want the employees to run all types of programs. You can allow the users to run only specified programs in Windows 7 by using the Local Group Policy. However, you cannot do this in the Home editions of Windows 7 as it does not provide the Local Group Policy Editor.
Click on the Start button.
Type “gpedit.msc” in the search box of the Start menu and press the Enter button on the keyboard.


Local Group Policy Editor will open. Scroll down to “User Configuration”, “Administrative Templates” and then “System” on the left hand side of the window pane.
On the right hand side of the window, under “Setting”, navigate and double-click on “Run only specified Windows applications”.



Select Enabled from the window.
Click on “Show” under Options.



The Show Contents window pane will appear. Here you can type the applications you want to let the users run.
After you are done, click on the OK button.
Close the Local Group Policy Editor.



After this, if someone attempts to run an app which was not specified by you, he will get this error message:



This feature to allow users to run only specified programs in Windows 7 is the best at preventing the users from accessing applications you don’t want them to use on a particular computer.
