Invisible Folder For Windows

I know that you know what a folder is, especially for Windows OS users. Most Operating Systems are supporting the folder structuring of making files in order. Probably that's basic but, have you seen an invisible folder? Or did you not think to create one? Well, maybe it would not be that much useful, but how about hiding other files or the private files - like hiding games from your boss - LOL!

Please note that this will NOT encrypt your folder for full protection of your files. It's just like a sneaky folder hidden from the naked eye. This trick is only for Windows OS, haven't tried on other OS though, but I think it still would work but in a different set of keys, I'll look on this later.

uTris In uTorrent

uTorrent is a widely used bit torrent client in the net now. I could say, the hottest one today. And if you don't know what this is, then welcome to earth my friend.. LMAO!

Not a high end app or an overwhelming feature from this beautiful software, but if you want to waste some little time, yo might find this a bit good. A friend got hooked into this for a while and I LOLed at her.. (",)

Is Your Antivirus Software Real

If you are a computer fanatic, especially if you are online, then you must have known about anitivirus - it's importance - more or less, especially when you are using Windows OS. Have you ever thought of a better AV software or even a good one? How about let's test your AV software if it really is working as it is supposed to be and so you know you are protected - at least. 

Now, here's what we are going to do. Test your antivirus software with this simple code. You will create your own file so no need to download anything. The code is secure and its not going to infect your computer in whatever way. It is a standard text developed by the European Institute for Computer Anti-virus Research - EICAR. Every AV is programed to load this file as a virus. Otherwise, that means your AV ain't what you are looking for and you better find a better one.

How To Make Thumbnails

Making thumbnails is usually used for screenshots to publish quality of a movie file with respect to the video. It serves as a preview of the movie. 

There are many software to create or generate thumbnails. But this guide will tackle on using Media Player Classic. Since I'm also using this media player then we can utilize its feature to create a thumbnail. It's easy and fast with a few instructions. It's like counting 1 to 10.. LMAO!

Before we start make sure you have the MPC installed in your computer. You can get it on many Codec Packs available since this media player is usually included in those packs like K-Lite Codec Pack, XP Codec Pack, and more. Or you can directly get it at FileHippo MPC.

Why use this software?

Create A Shutdown Shortcut

Maybe you are too tired to go to Start click Shutdown then a window will appear, probably may not appear quickly when there are some program lags. Or maybe too lazy to press the shutdown button in your PC because the CPU is far from your monitor or from you.

Now you can make a shortcut where you can click it and shutdown you computer in a couple of seconds. Not only that it shuts down the computer faster it also is handy and easy to use. LOL! I feel like I'm selling something. (",)

Note: This technique is for Windows OS only.

How To Get Subtitles

This guide will help you download subtitles using Media Player Classic (MPC). The preferred player is MPC Home Cinema. You can download subtitles without opening any website using OpenSubtitles.org ISDb protocol. OpenSubtitles.org has loads of subs. This info was originally posted in the said site. I started using this for a very long time then and still very helpful with me and hopefully also to those who seeks this. A big thanks and credits to the owner (OS). I have just modified some parts for latest versions of MPC-HC.

How to Download from Youtube

Being one of the famous, if not the most, video streaming site in the web today. Youtube archives tons of video files. Sometimes videos shared are cool and awesome, and having a local copy is quite a good option especially when you really liked the shared video.

However, these videos can't be downloaded just instantly as the site does not feature it. But the good part is that some easy tools are available to help with this process. And the best part is that these tools are free.

Before you can start the service, these applications must first be downloaded and be installed in your PCs (the links are in the References below). These files are just small-size applications and has easy-to-follow installation instructions. Just don't forget, you can install both but just one is fine.

View History In uTorrent

Those familiar with torrents might also have encountered with uTorrent, a powerful and light client, and this might be useful to find or view the history of current and previously downloaded torrents. Deleting  or removing torrent(s) from the client would only remove it from the interface. However, the actual torrent file is stored somewhere else which could be viewed anytime.

There are two ways to do it:

1. Enable - show hidden folders
2. Directly go to the folder

#1.
First, enable 'Show hidden files, folders or drives', this might vary from different Operating System used but the procedure is the same.
