How to Remove Shortcut Arrow on Desktop Icons in Windows 7

Howdy guys,

It is true that sometimes the arrow present in shortcut icons seem irritating, especially when they are on your cute desktop.  In this post, I'll explain how to Hide and Remove Shortcut Arrow from Desktop Icons and Other Icons.

1.Run Registry Editor (RegEdit).

2.Navigate to the following registry key:  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile

3.Delete the IsShortcut registry value in the right pane. 

  Tip: It’s also workable to just rename the IsShortcut registry entry to another name, such as IsNotShortcut.

4.Some other type of documents and files may be shortcut arrow on their icons too. To remove the shortcut arrow overlay image on these icons, navigate to each of the following registry keys, and then repeat step 2 and step 3 above to deactivate the shortcut arrow: 

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\piffile

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ConferenceLink

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DocShortCut

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InternetShortcut

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WSHFile

5.Exit from Registry Editor.

6.Logout and login again or restart Explorer for the change to take effect.

Note : Please note that in some cases deactivating the arrow for *.LNK files might lead to duplicate items in the Explorer context menu, as in essence, removing the “IsShortcut” effectively forces Windows to treat the shortcut as real hard file. In Windows 7, it may also cause error such as unable to pin shortcut to Taskbar or Start Menu. To avoid these issue, use another workaround to remove shortcut arrow.

Hi friend, 

This is one of the widespreading rumour in facebook that every sim card 

has its own name. Is it true??? How on doing this cute name appears? Dude, I will explain in this post what is actually  behind this magic.

First of all, your SIM card has no name at all..!!!!!! Then, how this magic happens? 

Lets have look.

1. For every facebook account, there will be a unique number associated it as identification number.  (Mark Zuckerberg was the first person to open a facebook account  and he chose profile id number as 4..!!! Why he didnt chose 1 as starting number?? 

still a mystery..!! )

2.Using this unique number anyone can directly point to respective account. If you want to display any profile name just use as

@[id_number:0]

eg: My facebook account has the id - 100001420198548

So, @[100001420198548:0] will show up my name Vipin Narayan..!!!!

or type  @[4:0] in comment box and press enter..!!! 

Thats the game.!!Whenever you put your sim number in this body@[xxx:0] , it will 

point to the name associated with that account..!!! The rumor spreads it as 

your SIM card's name. :P

There is nothing wrong with this trick. Neither it has security threat nor has spam . 

But do not misunderstand that your SIM has a "name".!!!!!

COMPRESS A FILE INTO .gz FILE ~ COMPLETE JAVA CODE

Hello friends,

In this post I’m presenting a java code to compress a file into -.gz format.
Hope this will be useful to you..!!!

Algorithm

1.      1.Input the name of the file to be zipped.
2.      Create an OutputStream in the name of given _file.gz.
3.      Point it to the GZIPOutputStream.
4.       Read from the file to be zipped, bytewise, and write it into GZIPOutputStream.

import java.io.*;

import java.util.zip.*;

public class CompressFile {

public static void compresser(String temp) {

try {

File file = new File(temp);

FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream(file + ".gz");

GZIPOutputStream gout = new GZIPOutputStream(fout);

FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream(file);

BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(fin);

byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];

int i;

while ((i = in.read(buffer)) >= 0) {

gout.write(buffer, 0, i);

}

System.out.println(" successfully compressed");

in.close();

gout.close();

}

catch (IOException e) {

System.out.println("Exception is" + e);

}

}

public static void main(String args[]) {

if (args.length != 1) {

System.out.println("Please enter the file name which needs to be compressed ");

} else {

compresser(args[0]);

}

}

}

For compiling::

javac CompressFile.java

How to master your Facebook Timeline

Facebook has rolled out its new Timeline feature to the masses.This ultra-illustrative, chronological listing of posts, photos, shared links, check-ins, and more is a radically different arrangement than the Facebook profile you've been used to..
And now that your life can be exposed for everyone to see -- and scrutinize -- you may be interested in curating the new interface. Once you've activated Facebook Timeline (go here to do so), you've got seven days to tweak it to make sure it's just how you like before it goes live for everyone to see..


Below are five quick tips on how to personalize, privatize, and generally get the most out of Facebook's newest feature. It doesn't take long to master the new interface, and it's an important exercise for anyone interested in, well, reputation management..

1.  How to hide things

You probably already know that Facebook has controversial positions on privacy. So you may now find that some things included on your Timeline are best kept from curious eyes. This could be anything from an embarrassing status message you posted in simpler social media times, to a rant your ex left on your wall a few months ago..

To hide a Timeline element, click the pencil icon at the top of the offending post, then choose "Hide from Timeline." Easy.

And please note: Any privacy settings you've already set still apply to the Timeline interface. So the photos of you getting wild at last weekend's kegger are still safe from Mom..

If you prefer to keep your profile public, but don't want everyone to see what you posted back in high school, for example, you can also tweak your Timeline settings more generally. Click the arrow next to your Home button at the top of the screen to access your Privacy Settings. Scroll down to "Limit the Audience for Past Posts," then choose "Manage Past Post Visibility." Now click "Limit Old Posts" -- all



2. Tell your life story: How to add past events

Privacy, schmivacy! Perhaps, you want the whole world to know the day you were born, the first time you rode a bike, and that debate club award you got in high school. These events aren't listed on your Timeline, but they can be.

To add a status update, photo, place check-in, or life event to your Timeline, simply hover the mouse over the line in the center of the page until it turns into a plus sign, and reveals the option to add one of those four types of posts.

Now, Facebook can accurately reflect your entire life -- and not just the events that occurred after you first signed on..



3. Add some individuality: How to customize your Timeline

There are a number of ways you can personalize your Timeline so it highlights the posts, pictures and events you cherish most..

First, you can add a cover to your Timeline. Toward the top of your profile, above the buttons where it says "Update Info," you should see "Add a Cover." Once you click that, you can select an image from your photos, or opt to upload a new image. Once it loads, you can adjust the positioning of your cover image.

If you set a cover photo and then decide it's not as great as you first thought, just hover your mouse over the image, and a "Change Cover" option menu will pop up, letting you reposition the image or select a new one..

For photo albums you've created, you can change the primary photo that displays (you could do this before, but now the process is different). Simply click the pencil icon in the upper corner of the album post, and select "Change Primary Photo."

You can also choose to highlight a post -- expanding it from a small, half-page-size post to a wide-screen version — by selecting the star icon in the post's upper-right corner. Conversely, you can click the star on a maximized featured post to make it normal again..



4. Appearances matter: How to check out your Timeline from different angles

If you decide to make a number of posts and photos private or hidden from your Timeline, you can still get the full, complete view of your Facebook action history.

On your Timeline, click "Activity Log." There you'll find posts and information you need to review before it publishes to your profile, as well as a complete look at your interactions on Facebook. This is log completely private to you.
You can choose to filter what you see by clicking the "All" dropdown menu at the top. You can choose to see only your posts, posts by others, posts from specific Facebook apps ("Hmm, let's look at my past Farmville accomplishments"), photos and more..
Like before, you can also check how others view your profile. Next to "Activity Log" is a cog icon. Click that, and you can choose "View As..." and either enter a friend's name or click the "public" link to see how your profile looks to strangers..



5. Information overload: How to organize friends and filter updates.

Now that your Timeline is all straightened out, you might as well do some house cleaning on what shows up in your Newsfeed..

When you add a friend or follow someone's public updates, Facebook automatically sets the level of posts you see to "Most Updates." You can change this by going to that profile, and clicking the "Subscribed" button. You can change it to "Only Important" updates or "All updates," and you can also filter what types of posts you're interested in seeing: things like life events, status updates, or photos..

And if you haven't done so already, you can organize friends into lists, a la the Google+ Circles feature. Facebook Lists rolled out in September..
Just go to the left-hand side of your Newsfeed page, click "More," and toward the bottom you'll see "Lists." You can add friends individually to lists like Close Friends, Family, or Co-workers. You can click "More" next to Lists to add other lists of your choosing — "Acquaintances," "Poker Club Members," you get the picture..

The average Facebook user has 130 friends, but I'd venture to say that most of you reading this have far more than that, so this will help streamline your Facebooking experience..


One last thing: If you're one of those people who's still into "poking" your friends, you can still do that. Go to your friend's profile, and the Poke option is listed under a gear cog dropdown menu next to "Message."
