See the lyrics while playing the music.

Today,I am going to tell you about a plugin for windows media player and Winamp

that will enable you to see the lyrics of the song which you are playing.

Wouldnt it be nice, If we can see the lyrics while listening to the music without opening the

browser and googling for the music.Well today we will look at a plugin called LyricsPlugin

which will enable you to do just that.

The Lyrics Plugin work's with Windows Media Player and Winamp.

Here is a screen shot of what it looked like in my computer.

Here's what the LyricsPlugin site says :

"Lyrics Plugin is a piece of software tailored for music fans.

To put it simply - it is an add-on to view lyrics in WinAmp or Windows Media Player.

No more searching for lyrics.

Just start listening to your favourite songs and lyrics will be displayed automatically.

Oh, and if lyrics is not found, you can add it yourself :)"

So what are you wating for head over to Lyrics Plugin and dowload the plugin.
After installing just open media player,open any song. Right click on view and plug-ins and select Lyrics plugin.Oh yeah,Don't forget to drop a comment on this service here.

How to download videos from youtube without using any service or software.

Today, we will see how we can download videos from youtube without using any service i.e softwares or any website. All we will need to download a video is a browser ;) . With out beating around the bush let me start directly with the process to download the video. I have tried this trick with google chrome.I have used : Google Chrome as an Browser. Youtube as a site to download videos.

NOTE: In onder to avoid confusion later, perform this step .When in google chrome press ctrl+shift+del - to clear your

browsing data or press the wrench sign in the topright conner of google chrome and select Clear Browsing Data.

Firstly, We need to open youtube , and play the video you want to download. Now y

ou just watch your video after it's complete.minimize your browser [note : DON'T CLOSE YOUR BROWSER].

Then go to-

If you are using :

Google Chrome : C:\Documents and Settings\techgeektricks\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache

Firefox : C:\Documents and Settings\techgeektricks\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\default.udq\Cache

Internet Explorer: C:\Documents and Settings\techgeektricks\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

Where C is the drive which contains windows. i.e the system -operating system
and techgeektricks is the name of the user.

After reaching the directory mentioned above.Right click and make sure that the view of the files is in tiles. Now look for a file size larger than 3 mb .( Because I Don't think any video will be less than 3 mb ).

After finding the file copy it and paste it in another folder say 'My Documents' now rename that file with an extension of .flv let's say tgt.flv Now open this file with your favorite media player.I personally would suggest you to use VLC Media Player.

NOTE : Some times the file that you have copied is not the video you want to download. Then you have to do is trail and error method.I.E. You need to search for another file which is larger than 3 mb or has an size of an videoand then you need to copy it into another folder and change it's extension to flv as mentioned above and try to play it.

Good LUCK

If you are facing any problems or if you have any doubt or just know some another method then you might want to drop a comment down here.

Lock your notepad notes with password.

As security threats increase you can't just distribute your important text documents [written in notepad ] in the Internet or off line.

I used to type my e-mail passwords and other important info in Note pad[.txt file]. Increasing the threat of data theft, Till I discovered a free and open source software called LockNote to protect my files with .

I could have used Microsoft word – to save a doc file with password, But it is not standalone program . I need to have Microsoft word for it to run. But Locknote doesn't require installation , it is a standalone application and free too.

With LockNote your information's will be encrypted using a password and AES 256bit encryption technology.

Features.

No installation required

Move LockNotes wherever you want, as often as you want. A LockNote document does not require much more hard drive space than an unencrypted document.

Encrypt existing text files by just drag and drop.

Simply drag and drop existing text files on a LockNote window: they will be encrypted automatically.

Open and free

LockNote is open source and is based upon open source technologies, e.g. the certified CryptoPP program library for strong encryption.

                                                                                                            Source- Locknote official site

 

Using it:-

Type in your information in the text field or just drag and drop you text files, after that click on File>SaveAs and specify the location where you want to save it. And type in your file name and hit save.

Now you are promoted with a Dialog box. Type in your password and hit ok. Now distribute your secure file on line or off line . 

Making It more Secure.

While saving it I noticed that it could be made more secure and undetectable.

But for that you need to do a small change in your folder option .

Open my computer click on Tools>Folder Option now select the view tab and un tick the Hide extension for known file types.

Now click on apply and on OK.

Now go back to the location where you have saved your locked file.

Note:- Copy that file name and give it a another name. Creating a backup is always good if you are doing this for the first time.

Right click on it and click on Rename and rename it to filename.dll

[ you can use .zip,.txt,.mp3 and so on instead of .dll ]

You will receive a message like this. Without fear click on ok.

Now to Get it back just rename it to filename.exe

Copy the source code and paste it in a notepad, then save it with the .bat extension. Copy it in a Pen Drive, then execute it in the victims computer.

You can also use some exe-binders to bind this virus with any audio,video, text or what ever the files may be then use some social engineering technique to make the victim execute the file by himself to harm his computer.

You can create this virus with out using any third party tools in windows, also instead of exe-binder, you can use the iexpress wizard to create a custom package.

your Feedbacks are welcome….!

Hide your important images with dos

So you have a image precious image stored up in your computer and want to hide it from others then you might just like our way of hiding files using the dos only.

 

Requirements.

A image file.
A good text editor (notepad will do)
Dos

 

What it does

This trick will convert an image file into an not understandable file See the image for more details

           BEFORE HIDING                                                       AFTER HIDING

How to do it.

If you have read my article of hiding your documents using notepad then,this trick will be easy to follow.In this article I will be showing you,how to hide images in a txt format or any other format and make the image undetectable. Are you ready - Let's begin.

first move your images to c drive.[Create a backup of your image i will not be responsible if it is lost.]
Click on start then on run then type cmd
now type cd\ [press enter]
now take note of your image name and extension lets say techgeektricks.jpj
now under cmd - command prompt
type 

ren techgeektricks.jpj techgeektricksjpj.txt           

[press enter]

Ren command on command prompt is used for renaming the files.Here techgeektricks in the file name
and jpj/txt is it's extension. I have named the out put file as  techgeektricksjpj so that while converting it back to image format it becomes easy.

Now go to the location where your image was located and try to view it.You will notice that the image has changed into a text file.

To get your image back is simple just go to ms dos prompt go to c drive an then type ren techgeektricksjpj.txt techgeektricks.jpj

 

Where to use it?

You can use it to send images to your friends computer hiding it from spying eyes or you can just keep it in your  computer I bet no one will ever find out what is inside those text files unless you tell them it is an image or so.

 

Extra notes.

You can change the .txt extension to .mp3 or any other extension.

If you change the code or fiddle with the code which you get when the image is changed to .txt extension then the image will be  lost forever.So be careful

If you want to send the image hidden as .txt file then you must attach the file itself if you give your friend the code (i.e .txt code) It will not work.
