More Colors for Your SmartArt ..

Do you use SmartArt in MS Office 2007?
To do so, do you go to the Design Ribbon and change the colors?



Perhaps you prefer the multicolored options, but you're disappointed in how few choices you have.
Well, I happened to stumble across a pretty easy way to alter the color choices for SmartArt. So, if you're looking for more options, this one is for you!
For Word and Excel, I found a Themes gallery on the Page Layout Ribbon (on the far left side).

In PowerPoint 2007, I found the Themes on the Design Ribbon.


When I chose a theme from the gallery, it altered the color choices for the SmartArt as well.
(I'd like to add that I found this easiest to do with the SmartArt already created. With that, the program previewed the effects each theme would cause).

Another way to get color changes for your SmartArt in all of these programs is through the Colors button, located to the right of the Themes.


As you can see, the theme color sets are listed and at the bottom, you have the choice to "Create New Theme Colors."



If you select that option, a dialogue window will open, allowing you to put colors together that fit you best.
After you choose the colors that strike your fancy, you can name your Theme at the bottom. Then just finish the process by clicking Save.
There you have it. SmartArt colored to your exact specifications!

Hidden Folders In Windows !!!!

Concept :-
We Make a folder that looks like control panel or recycle bin
when system admin (victim) tries to access it he'll get directed to the location Control Panel or Recycle Bin depending on the folder you named
But if you try to access it using ftp or total commander you get straight into your folder

Lets Do this :-

  • Make A folder , put some contents in it (if you wish to)
  • Rename it "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"without the quotes to make it look like control panel
  • Double click on it
  • Voila you land into control panel
  • Try to access the same folder with total commander or via ftp client . you can easily view the contents

Extra Stuff:-
to make it look like other things try these :-

Internet Explorer.{FBF23B42-E3F0-101B-8488-00AA003E56F8}
Recycle
Bin.{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
My
Computer.{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
My
Documents.{ECF03A32-103D-11d2-854D-006008059367}
Fonts.{BD84B380-8CA2-1069-AB1D-08000948F534}


Note:- You can change the name to anythingi mean it can be

MYFOLDER.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

but still it will look like control paneljust make sure to keep the extension same

One good look :-Look At the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionexplorerDesktopNameSpace

It contain the sets of folder extensions that u can use

Turn CD drive Into DVD drives

That's right. You have read it perfectly from letter to letter and rest assured you're brain has'nt gone insane.

By some hardware manipulations you can run DVD in your CD drive.
Here is the basic information about a CD and a DVD.

There are two types of CD-ROM drives we can mod:
24x to 40x
40x or higher
Drives slower than 24x are too old to be modified.
24x to 40x CD ROMs

Code:
Laser Head Adjustments:
The track pitch of CDs is 1.6 microns, and the track pitch of DVDs is only 0.8 microns. The minimum length of track pits of CDs is 0.843mm, and the minimum length of track pits of DVDs is 0.293mm. That's why DVD discs can store much more data in the size of a CD.Pinpointing this situation, we need to adjust the laser head so it can read discs with smaller track pitches and shorter track pits. Open up the CD-ROM drive, do you see a lens on the rail? That's the laser head. On the side of the laser head, there's a screw you can adjust.

Code:
This is the key of this mod.
This screw can adjust the size of the laser beam that lands on the disc. Referring to the above, after adjusting, the laser beam should be less than 0.293mm, to suit the needs of DVD discs. So turn that screw 2-3 times.Mark with a pencil, in case you forget how many times you turned that screw.

Speed adjustments:
DVD-ROM drives can play DVD movies smoothly at 4x speed. If we're modifying a 32x CD-ROM drive, the rotation speed is obviously too high, increasing heat, and shortening the life of the drive.So we need to decrease the speed of it.
Most people know that power supplies can provide 5V (red wire) and 12V (yellow wire) electricity output for Molex connectors. Find the Molex connector you'll plug into the modifying CD-ROM drive, cut the yellow wire or insulate it with tape, so only 5V of electricity is transferred to the CD-ROM drive. The speed of the drive is now 32 * 5/17 = 9.41x and can now fulfill our requirements.

Code:
40x or higher CD ROMs
When 40x CD-ROM drives are released, most manufacturers are already producing DVD-ROM drives. To lower cost, they use the same core as DVD-ROM drives with DVD functions disabled. What we need to do here is to re-enable the DVD function.
Open up the CD-ROM, behind the circuit board, look for a jumper that says DVD JUMP. Find a jumper to connect this jumper. Thin metal wire also works fine.OK, so the DVD function is unlocked, but we still need to decrease the speed. Use the instructions above on how to decrease the speed of the drive.

I am Not Responsible !
If you are thinking i have tried it then i do have tried it out but hey
its better spending a few bucks more on getting a Combo drive rather than spoiling your CD drive.
I have got a DVD writer and i tried this trick on my spare CD drive.
:-D

TELNET Hack Tool

STEP 1 :- Click here for ip scanner

If you have Ip adrress of someone first see it that of which it is,Means it`s of a site or someone`s computer
To see this u have to download this tool,after downloading this open it,go to
Options>Options(again) on top right corner you can see display,there u can see three options which r as follows
• All hosts
• only alive
• only open ports
Select only open ports third option
Then,okie & saveThen again go to options and then select ports,Third option in options
See this is nessecary u have to read this carefully
This is called an IP adrress
122.163.181.140
(Don`t try to open this i think they have changed the passwordonce i entered that)
okie coming to the point
This is a site IP adrress,
There are two diff. types of ports 23,80,If you have an site IP then in select ports u have to select ports 80
And if u have any IP of other computer u have to type port 23
59.95.100.128 This is a computer IP adrress
(DON`T ASK ME FRM WHERE TO GET IP ADRESS,IF U HAVE A FAKE LOGIN PAGE,THEN U CAN GET SOME IP`S EASILY)
Okieso if u have site IP post 80 and 23 on computer IP,
then save and exit(only option)
Then u r on main screen of angry IP scanner(REMEMBER EVERY TIME YOU OPEN IP SCANNER U HAVE TO SELECT PORTS)
Take this Ip
59.95.100.128
U can see Ip range on main screen of IP scanner
there`s is written
0.0.0.0.
on first 0 wirte 59
on second 95
third 100
and on fourth write down 1 (yes 1 coz the Ip range starts frm 1 to 255)
and in second section u have to write like this
on first 0 wirte 59
on second 95
third 100
and on fourth write down 255 (yes coz i told you it starts frm 1 so u always have to write 1 in first section and 255 in the second)


So it will look like
59.95.100.1 to 59.95.100.255
and then start scan if u get green Ips it`s ur luck and if not it`s ur bad luck start with othere IP adrress
Then if u get any any Ip adrress green
go to start>run>services.msc>ok
u can see a window of services,Click on any name and type t u will come to "T" portion
Then u can see telnet there if u scrol somewhat then,go to properties and there u can see startup type set it manual
ok then close that window,
Then again go to start>run>cmd
Then a DOS window will open,type there telnet enter then u can see Microsoft TELNET>Open (IP adrress)
ENTER

(REMEMBER U HAVE TO GIVE SPACE BETWEEN OPEN AND IP ADRRESS)
Then if u enter his computer it asks for Username & password
If that person has given password to the enter screen (when u enter windows XP)then u can`t enter his computer,or else most of the Pc`s have there username & password admin or administrator

Username = admin
Password = adminor

(IF IT SAYSY INCORRECT)

Username = administrator
Password = administratoror

if it again says incorrect then u can`t enter his computer
and if u have entered his computer
then,Sorry i can`t tell you after this if u know C++ then u already know that how to format his/her PC Hehehehe
I think it`s not overI have to tell you abt that ip adrress if u got abt an site
and how to dig thatfor now search it othere`s computer
