Change DOS color

SYNTAX Sets the default console foreground and background colors.

COLOR [attr]

attr Specifies color attribute of console output

Color attributes are specified by TWO hex digits -- the first corresponds to the background; the second the foreground. Each digit can be any of the below values.
0 = Black
8 = Gray
1 = Blue
9 = Light Blue
2 = Green
A = Light Green
3 = Aqua
B = Light Aqua
4 = Red
C = Light Red
5 = Purple
D = Light Purple
6 = Yellow
E = Light Yellow
7 = White
F = Bright White

If no argument is given, this command restores the color to what it was when CMD.EXE started. This value either comes from the current console window, the /T command line switch or from the DefaultColor registry value. The COLOR command sets ERRORLEVEL to 1 if an attempt is made to execute the COLOR command with a foreground and background color that are the same.

EXAMPLE

Color 2A = Creates a green background with light bright green text, similar to many of the FTP, telnet, and old BBS console screens.

Using the Keyboard to Right Click

These days, using the mouse, you can right-click almost anything in almost any window or program and bring up a "context menu."

This is a small list of things that you can do to the object that you right-clicked.

For example, you can right-click a file, and choose Properties from the context menu that appears.

If you are used to using the keyboard, and try to avoid moving your hands off the keyboard to the mouse, then you will love this tip!

You can bring up the context menu on any selected item by pressing Shift-F10.

This is exactly the same as right-clicking with the mouse, and should work almost anywhere that right-clicking works.

Show All Registered Devices

By default, the Device Manager only displays Plug-and-Play devices that are currently installed and working in the computer.

There is also a way that you can force Device Manager to display the devices that are installed, but not currently present in the system. This is particularly useful with laptops, where it is not uncommon to have devices pulled out from time to time.


There is an environment variable called devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices that governs whether or not these devices appear in Device manager. Set this variable to 1 to display them, or to 0 to hide them again.

You can set this variable at a command prompt by typing "set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1" without the quotes. You can also set it permanently as a variable by right-clicking My Computer and choosing Properties. Click the Advanced tab, and the "Settings" (XP) or Environmental Variables (older Windows) button.

Click the New button, and enter the devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices for the name, and 1 for the value.

Note: You must also employ the tip mentioned above to display all devices in addition to setting the environment variable.

Windows Calculator - With Power

If you've used the Windows Calculator (under Accessories on the Start Menu), you may think that you have only the most basic and lackluster calculating tool for your use.

There's where you'd be wrong. By default, the Calculator starts up in Standard Mode, but you can switch to Scientific Mode from the view menu.


This gives you a much more functional calculator that can handle computations in decimal, binary, hex, and octal. It also offers many other advanced features. For some of them, such as the statistical calculations, you may wish to read the help file for advice on how to use them properly.

Also from the View menu, you can choose Digit Grouping, which will insert commas when calculating in decimal, and spaces when calculating in hex. This makes it much easier to rea

Secrets of Google Results

Google Results are based on 4 major criteria

* Keyword Density
* Keyword prominence
* Page rank or back links
* Last, but the most important: Content

Keyword density

The density of keyword affects the ranking of your page. The higher the keyword density the higher is your rank so one should always include a 30-40 word paragraph containing key-word rich content, thus increasing the keyword density.

Keyword prominence

The keywords you have chosen should appear in title, Meta and H tags with some occurrence in the body also. So you should not define Google without putting the word Google in the body of the definition. This means H and P tags should go hand shaking with each other.

Page rank and back links

The more site links to your site better is the page rank of your site and more relevant your site is. Google also takes into consideration the words [or Anchor text] that appear in your back links

Content

Some say that the Content of your site is the king, but for me it’s actually the crown which the webmaster wears if his site has the right content. Build the content and users will be interested just be reading it.

The best proof of it is you are reading till the last line of this post because it has the content for you to help yo

Clear pagefile on shutdow

For added security you should always clear the page file upon shutting down your computer. Windows uses this file as extra ram. Lets say that you are working on a confidential MS Word doc.

When you load this document it is loaded into ram. To save ram windows places certain items in the page file. The page file can then be opened and the document can be extracted as well as any other open program or files. However Microsoft has implemented a feature that will clear the page file but they do not have it enabled by default.

Please note, this will slightly increase the amount of time it takes to shut down your computer but it is well worth it.

Start Regedit. If you are unfamiliar with regedit please refer to our FAQ on how to get started.

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerMemory Management

Select ClearPageFileAtShutdown from the list on the right.
Right on it and select Modify.
Change the value to 1 to enable.
Reboot your computer.
