TeamViewer-the All-in-one solution for the Remote Access and support over the Internet

This is the punch line of the Company ,and i also feel personally that it is the best. :) . TeamViewer is one of the world wide leading solutions for desktop sharing and online collaboration over the Internet.By Teamviewer you can help and remotely access your friend computer as it in front of you..and can help him by working at your laptop or system. it works on any platform Windows ,linux, Mac..etc.
you can simply download it from here
installation process is very easy ..simply next ..next..next :P
then when you run it a window appears ..but please please please install it at least on two systems as the other one is the system you want to access remotely.
Teamviewer window
And one important note -the version of Teamviewer at both the system should be same ..
In create session you have to enter the ID of the of other system and select the type of access given below it .And if the other one wants to see your desktop they have to know the Id and password given at your window.when you click on “Connect to partner” it demands for the password of the other’s system,after filling the password a connection is established.and you can see your partner desktop at a separate window..:)
Don’t bother about the security about your system while making this connection because the password is changed every time you run it on your system so no one can make a permanent connection without your permission :-)
you can also record the session and watch it later ,can transfer the files to your partner.make a VPN(virtual private network) connection,and use it as a presentation .so it’s a very important utility tool for project making.
enjoy it , it’s very helpful :)

Solving Counter Strike + IDM problem

Posted By Harsh Singh on November 2nd, 2009

http://magicalharsh.com/blog/solving-counter-strike-idm-problem/

The reason Counter Strike freezes when you have got IDM installed in your system is due to IEMonitor.exe ( which is used for browser integration )

Solution :

In Internet Download Manager, click Downloading -> Options -> General.

There, you have to uncheck the intergration for IE and IE based browsers and secondly, uncheck the “Run module for monitoring in IE-based browsers (MSN, Avant…)” and press Ok. <– This actually stops launching IEMonitor.exe and hence solves it all.

Fix for fault in running an executable file

Posted By Harsh Singh on May 3rd, 2009

http://magicalharsh.com/blog/fix-for-fault-in-running-an-executable-file/

Sometimes due to some damage in the registry , clicking on an executable file (.exe) opens VLC media player instead of Windows Installer .

This problem can be easily fixed using a simple registry patch (for Windows Vista)

Registry patch for .exe file association

>> Unzip the file .
>> Double the extracted .reg file
>> A dialog box asking “Do you wish to continue” appears . Click yes .

Cheers . You are Done .

clean your messy desktop

Posted By Harsh Singh on June 6th, 2008

If your desktop looks something like this then you NEED TO READ THIS ARTICLE !


Well the awesome screen shot of the desktop was mine until I realised the reason we have a messy desktop is it so easy to access and we go on adding stuff untill we get the annoying windows clean my desktop wizard like an unwanted House keeping knock on a cheesy motel !

Not any more….also check out a way to launch your fav programs faster than searching in start menu !

Well here is how we do it, we are going to create an alternative to desktop !

1) Create a folder which will be your alternative to desktop.

I strongly recommend that you create this Folder other than C: as a matter of fact you should not be using C: to store any personal file since if you need to format your C: all the personal file will be lost !

I am going to call this folder Quickdesk

Make it hidden (By right click properties)

2) Add quickdesk to task bar

This is best way to access the quickdesk since it will contain folders (such as Music, Movies, Photos etc)

To add Rightclick on Taskbar > Toolbars > New Toolbars
Then browse to the location where you have quickdesk. This adds a toolbar by which you can directly go to the place where you want to go.

As you start using this you will realise how productive this way is !

(Just in case you are wondering what are those folders, there are not default. These are the folders created earlier)

3) Create a shortcut of Quickdesk
You can do this by the usual method by Right – click on the folder Create short cut and then rename the Shortcut to Quickdesk.

Now to add some style choose a icon for the Shortcut By Right click > Properties > Shortcut tab > Change Icon. You can even choose a fancy one by clicking browse.

4) Copy the shortcut to Desktop

We are adding a shortcut to desktop for one main reason is access the quickdesk while Uploading or dowloading you don’t have to browse for Quickdesk instead just go to desktop and click on Quickdesk icon which will take you to the Quickdesk folder.

5) Add this short cut to your Quick launch

You can add to Quick lauch by dragging the Shortcut from desktop to the quick launch.

This will be the fastest way to access the Quickdesk !
If you don’t have the Quick launch toolbar than you can add that by Right clicking the taskbar > Toolbars > Quick launch

6) Copy to windows folder

Copy Quickdesk short cut to windows folder ( By default c:windows) so that we can launch by the run (windows + R ) or start > Run

Just by typing quickdesk and clicking run will launch the folder.
You can use this method for launching folders inside the quickdesk folder.

How to Start using ?

The idea is to use shortcuts to organise the most accessed data we have. We keep our data disorganised to different reasons such as space availability, convenience etc. So while your Music might be in some folder in d: your photos in several different place !

Create folders for each type of category. Photo, Movies, Videos, Music, downloads to name a few !

Here comes the Oh yeah moment !

So assume you have songs in a folder in d:somefoldermorefolderthefoldersongs (even somplace on your network !)

To make it accessible fast create a shortcut on Music folder by Rightclick > New >Create shortcut

I even changed the icon of the shortcut to a much more appropriate !

Now check out how easy this is to access in the screen shot below !

Now in winamp to play it just got to desktop > Quickdesk > Music > songs shortcut !

Talking about Winamp you can even launch application like this !

We all know what pain in the neck it is to Go to start and wait till the Ram deficient CPU displays the list of programs and then search the one you want ! Keeping the shorcuts on the desktop also adds to clutter to startwith !

To add Application to Quickdesk, copy the shortcut from the desktop or program files and paste it in the :Quickdeskprograms

Now check out how east and FAST it is to launch this way !

This has completely changed the way I access the data….. Did it yours ?

Go to this location..

There you’ll find a file by the name “hosts”. Open this file using notepad.
The last line of this file will look like this..

“127.0.0.1 localhost”

Now below this line add this..
“127.0.0.1 xxxxxxxx”
(Where xxxxxxxx is the website that you want to block on your computer.)

Now save the file.. If having difficulty in saving the file change the properties of the file. Its default might be set as “Read-Only”
