Customize “Send to” to send files anywhere on right click

If you want to move same time type of files again and again to the same place then this trick will be helpful to you. Rather than copy and pasting the file by browsing directories or keeping a shortcut pointing to that location on your Desktop, there’s an even easier (and more flexible) way to quickly move files to a favorite place. Yes, this can done by customizing “Send to” right click windows menu.

The trick is short and simple, it goes here:

1. Select the Folder where you want to send to files generally and create short to it there itself.
2. Go to directory “C:\Documents and Settings\Rohit\SendTo” (replace Rohit with username of your PC.
3. Copy that shortcut created in Step 1 to this directory and you are done!

Now you will be able to see the name of specified folder in Right click “Send to” menu. Here’s the preview- I have specified “D:\Rock on” to be shown in send to menu.

Note : Destination of SendTo folder may vary in case you have two Operating systems or installed Windows on other partition except C drive.

Such Directories are hidden so, you will need to select “Show Hidden Files and Flders” from Folder options.

Adding Movie Subtitles , 5 Easy Steps !!

This guide explains step by step how to 'paste' subtitles into any video file permanently. The subtitle file can be in any format (SUB, SSA, SMI, TXT, etc.)
Permanent subtitles are specially useful if you are about to create a VCD/SVCD, or if you want to watch subtitled movies with any media player or portable device.
Required Software
1-VirtualDub or virtualDubMod: Used to re-encode the video with the subtitles included.
2-VirtualDub Subtitler Filter: Filter to apply the SSA subtitle file
3-Subtitle WorkShop: Subtitle editor tool
4-DivX Codec: Used to re-enconde the video with VirtualDub.

Step 1: Install the subtitler filter
After you have downloaded the VirtualDub Subtitler Filter, copy subtitler.vdf into the \PLUGINS directory under the VirtualDub program directory. If the PLUGINS folder does not exists, create it.

Step 2: Edit the subtitle file
Even if your subtitles are already in SSA (SubStation Alpha) format, this step is required to customize the subtitles aspect. Subtitle Workshop will be used here to convert the subtitles to SSA and/or edit their font aspect and position in the output video.
Open the subtitles with Subtitle Workshop in File>Load Subtitles.

Then....Go to Settings > Output Settings...
The Output Settings dialog will open up
Select Substation Alpha (*.ssa)

The recommended subtitle fonts are Arial, Arial Narrow and Tahoma, usually Bold. The font color should be a brigth one (yellow or white), and the secondary colors should be black. At the Others tab at the same dialog, you can customize several additional settings.

Now you can save the subtitles from the File menu. When saving make sure to double click the SSA format.

Step 3: Apply the subtitles with VirtualDub
After you have created your SSA subtitles, start VirtualDub and open the target movie. We'll recompress the movie with the subtitles in this last step. Note: There is no way to apply the subtitles without recompressing the video.

Go to the Video menu and select Filters.
Click the Add... button.
Select the "subtitler" filter and click OK.

After you click OK, the Subtitler Configuration dialog should appear. Click the "..." button and browse to the SSA file you have previously saved with the SubStation Alpha editor.

If you want to use the original subtitle file word wrapping mode, select Manual word wrapping. You can also use the Automatic or Smart word wrapping modes, but when playing the video and applying Pan&Scan feature, long subtitle lines won't fit the video viewable area.

Click Show Preview to see how your subtitles will appear in the encoded video.To scroll faster, hold down SHIFT while moving the video position slider. If you are satisfied with the results, proceed by closing all opened dialog windows.

Step 4: Save and encode the video fileTo save the video file with the applied captions, we will have to recompress the video and leave audio stream as is.
Under Video select Full Processing Mode, and under Audio select Direct Stream Copy.
Go to Video > Compression. Double click the DivX 5 codec (thats why we need the DivX 5 Codec)

Finally go to File > Save As AVI... and enter a file name for the output video. The encoding process will start and your output video will include the subtitles permanently.

Why system hangs suddenly

There are two other causes of frequent computer hang-ups.

1. Presence of bad sectors in the hard disk: Bad sectors are unreadable or unusable areas of the hard disk that are mainly created due to mechanical errors in the hard disk. When such an area comes in contact with the read/write head of the hard disk while reading data, unfortunately the damage suffered spreads over other good sectors. These bad sectors are physical damages and so the only option is replacing the entire hard disk.

The best thing is to salvage as much data as possible and bail out of such a hard disk. However, every partition can be tested for whether it is really a victim of bad sectors through the following methods:

Right-click any partition and choose properties. Under the Tools tab, run Error Checking. Make sure you check ‘Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors option’ while doing so.

Norton Disk Doctor is another application from Symantec which does the same but with more stability. The Linux operating system has a package called ‘bad blocks’, which has several options and features that give you more control over scanning and testing of bad sectors. It needs utmost patience and knowledge to understand its manual page and use its features.

I have been using this tool for the past five years and have been quite successful in testing disks and recovering them.

Though actual recovery of the damaged sectors is not possible, usage of the remaining undamaged part of hard disk is possible through efficient planning of partitions, leaving the damaged sectors as deleted partitions without any filesystem.

2. The system might get heated due to an improper cooling system – by way of an inefficient exhaust system and the failure of processor fans or SMPS fan.

Please make sure the fans are in working condition and the processor doesn’t get heated up when the system has been working for a while.

Excessive heat is also a reason for turning the machine into some abnormal system, and it finally leads to hang-ups and freezes.

Awareness of these two scenarios will help computer users tackle the problem of system hanging better.

i will suggest ctr+alter+del but you are talking that you face this problem everyday then i will say that you must reload your operating system to work your pc more better
it might be some error in the os of your pc so take back up of your data and reload the os

IE8: What’s After Beta 2

The announcement of IE8 Beta 2 started an important and public phase of the product development cycle getting broad public feedback.




The team is providing detailed information and answering questions about the product in many different places. Now’s a good time to talk about what comes next.

Since the release of Beta 2, the team has been absorbed in the data we get from real people about the product. We have combed through instrumentation of over 20 million IE sessions and hundreds of hours of usability lab sessions. Together with IE MVPs, we have scrutinized thousands of threads from user forums and examined the issues that people are raising (not to mention all the times users opt to “Report a Webpage Problem…”). We have also spent hundreds of hours listening and answering questions in meetings with partners and other important organizations. We simply could not deliver IE8 the way our customers and developers want us to without all this information. We also received a lot of feedback about how we transitioned from the IE7 beta releases to the IE7 final release, and as a result, we want to be clear about the plan for IE8.

We will release one more public update of IE8 in the first quarter of 2009, and then follow that up with the final release. Our next public release of IE (typically called a “release candidate”) indicates the end of the beta period. We want the technical community of people and organizations interested in web browsers to take this update as a strong signal that IE8 is effectively complete and done. They should expect the final product to behave as this update does.

We want the technical community of people and organizations interested in web browsers to take this update as a strong signal that IE8 is effectively complete and done. They should expect the final product to behave as this update does. We want them to test their sites and services with IE8, make any changes they feel are necessary for the best possible customer experience using IE8, and report any critical issues (e.g., issues impacting robustness, security, backwards compatibility, or completeness with respect to planned standards work). Our plan is to deliver the final product after listening for feedback about critical issues.

We will be very selective about what changes we make between the next update and final release. We will act on the most critical issues. We will be super clear about product changes we make between the update and the final release.

The call to action now for the technical community is to download beta 2 (if you haven’t already) and let us know about your experience. Next, please prepare for final testing with public update so you can let us know – quickly, loudly, and clearly – if you find absolutely critical issues with it before the release of the final product.
