You may have something like below:-

Double click the (Default) and you will see the Value Data: Recycle Bin. Change the Value Data to Trash or whatever you want.

Click OK and close your Registry Editor. Restart your PC. By now, your Recycle Bin icon's name should be changed.

Yeahh..that's all!

Windows XP - Convert FAT32 file system into NTFS

Ok guys...a simple Win XP tips for today. It's really easy to convert your Volume/Local Disk that have FAT32 (File Allocation Table) file system to NTFS (New Technology File System).

To view your drive file system, simply go to My Computer > right click on your drive and click Properties.

Take this simple steps:-

Step 1

Open your Command Prompt. To open it, press Window + R, type cmd and hit ENTER.


Step 2

Type convert D: /fs:ntfs and hit ENTER. That's all. I used the Local Drive D: as an example. Please note that you cannot convert your Local Drive where you placed your Operating System(OS) files on it (Default OS drive was on C:).


Why do you need to convert your volume to NTFS?

Ok..a quick lists of the advantages and also the disadvantages of using the NTFS.


ADVANTAGES of NTFS

Recoverability
The recoverability designed into NTFS is such that a user should seldom have to run a disk repair program on an NTFS volume. NTFS guarantees the consistency of the volume by using standard transaction logging and recovery techniques.

In the event of a system failure, NTFS uses its log file and checkpoint information to automatically restore the consistency of the file system. For more information about recovering your system, restoring data, and creating an emergency repair disk (ERD), please visit this page.

Compression
Windows 2000 supports compression on an individual file basis for NTFS volumes. Files that are compressed on an NTFS volume can be read and written by any Windows-based application without first being decompressed by another program. Decompression happens automatically during the read of the file. The file is compressed again when it is closed or saved.

In addition, formatting your volumes with NTFS instead of FAT16 or FAT32 provides the following advantages:
  • There are some Windows 2000 operating system features that require NTFS.
  • Faster access speed. NTFS minimizes the number of disk accesses required to find a file.
  • File and folder security. On NTFS volumes, you can set file permissions on files and folders that specify which groups and users have access to them, and what level of access is permitted. NTFS file and folder permissions apply both to users working at the computer where the file is stored and to users accessing the file over the network when the file is in a shared folder. With NTFS you can also set share permissions that operate on shared folders in combination with file and folder permissions.
  • Windows 2000 can format volumes up to 2 terabytes in size with NTFS.
  • The boot sector is backed up to a sector at the end of the volume.
  • NTFS supports a native encryption system called Encrypting File System (EFS), using public-key security to prevent unauthorized access to file contents.
  • NTFS functionality can be extended by using reparse points, enabling new features such as volume mount points.
  • Disk quotas can be set, limiting the amount of space users can consume on an NTFS volume.

DISADVANTAGES of NTFS

While NTFS is the recommended file system for users of Windows 2000, it is not appropriate in all circumstances. Disadvantages of NTFS include:
  • NTFS volumes are not accessible in MS-DOS, Windows 95, and Windows 98. Due to upgrades made to NTFS in Windows 2000, the advanced features of the Windows 2000 implementation of NTFS are not available in Windows NT 4.0 and earlier.
  • When very small volumes contain mostly small files, the overhead of managing NTFS may cause a slight performance drop in comparison to FAT.

That's all for today..I hope you enjoy this post.

Note:

1. You can use this tips to convert the FAT volume to NTFS.
2. You cannot convert the drive from NTFS to FAT or FAT32. To do this, you have to reformat you local disk or partition. Make sure you make a backup first.
3. To view the other convert commands, type help convert to your Command Prompt and press ENTER.

Blogger - Add page elements to blog header or post

Yet, another simple tips for blogger.com users. If you have used the default templates that was provided by blogger.com, you will noticed that you will absolutely cannot adding some page elements to your blog header or post.

Adding a page element to a blog header or post are a great things to do if you want to place an Adsense code. Besides, it'll become more handy if you want to add some tab menu or breadcrumb menu to your blog. Maybe next time I'll discuss about this.

Ok, check this out.


Add Page Elements to blog header

First, go to your Template > Edit HTML and find this code:-

<b:section class="header" id="header" maxwidgets="1" showaddelement="no">

then replace it with this code:-

<b:section class="header" id="header" maxwidgets="5" showaddelement="yes">

Save your template. Now, you can add 4 extra widgets or page elements to your header.

Note: It's not necessarily 5, maxwidgets='5', you can put any number you want. E.g: 6, 7 or 11.


Add Page Elements to blog post

Go to Template > Edit HTML and find this code:-

<b:section class="main" id="main" showaddelement="no">

and replace it with this one:-

Windows XP - Task manager's performance tab

Ok, today I'd like to share the information of the task manager's performance tab in Windows XP. Yeahh..it's just a piece of information. Maybe it's quite boring for you guys (me too). But never mind, I still want to publish this post so that easy for me to make a reference in the future.

What is Windows Task Manager?

Windows Task Manager displays information about the performance of your computer and the programs and processes that are running on your computer. You can use Task Manager to start programs, to start or to end processes, and to view a dynamic display of your computer's performance.

There are 4 ways to start the Windows Task Manager:-
  • Go to Run (Windows+R), type taskmgr and press ENTER.
  • Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, and then click Task Manager.
  • Press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC.
  • Right-click an empty area of the taskbar, and then click Task Manager.
and what is the Task Manager's performance for?

The Task Manager's Performance tab provides the best way to monitor the memory that has been used in your system.

Further info about Task Manager's performance:-

1. Total

Handles - Lets a program use system resources such as registry keys, fonts, and bitmaps. Sometimes, poorly written programs don't close their handles down when the program closes, leading to memory loss. As a practical matter, you won't need to monitor this number.

Threads - A discrete portion of a program executing a single task independently of other parts of a program. Again, as a practical matter, you won't need to monitor this number.

Processes - Reports on the number of programs and services (processes) currently running on your system. Monitor this to see whether you have too many programs and services running on your PC.


2. Commit Charge (K)

Total - The total amount of physical memory (RAM) and virtual memory (page file) currently in use, in kilobytes. The more programs, files, and data you have open, the greater your commit charge will be. The greater the commit charge, the more demands will be put on your system. To reduce the commit charge, close programs and files, especially large files.

Limit - Reports on the total amount of physical and virtual memory that is currently available for your PC, measured in kilobytes. To increase the limit, you can increase the Page File size (see article 4.9 "Optimize Your Swap File Size") or add RAM to your system.

Peak - Reports on the highest total amount of memory, measured in kilobytes, that has been in use during your current session. Check this value each session to see whether the Peak value is frequently at or near the Limit value. If it is, you need to increase your memory, by either adding RAM or increasing your Page File size.


3. Physical Memory (K)

Total - Displays the total amount of RAM in your PC, in kilobytes. This number can be confusing; to find out the amount of RAM in megabytes, divide it by 1,024.

Available - Reports on the total amount of RAM, in kilobytes, currently available. When available RAM is used up, your system begins to use its Page File.

System Cache - Reports on the total amount of RAM, in kilobytes, that is being used for the most recently accessed data and programs. Programs and data can be in the system cache even after they have been closed down; the PC looks to the system cache first when opening a program or file, since it can be opened from the cache faster than from the hard disk.


4. Kernel Memory (K)

Total - The total amount of memory, in kilobytes, in use by the primary components of the XP kernel. The kernel is the core programs and files that make up the operating system.

Paged - The total amount of memory in a Page File, in kilobytes, used by the primary components of XP.

Nonpaged - The total amount of memory of RAM, in kilobytes, used by the primary components of XP.


Tips:-

If the Total Commit Charge exceeds the Total Physical Memory, you probably need more RAM. When the Commit Charge is regularly higher than the Physical Memory available, it means that you have to regularly use a Page File, which slows your system down. Buy more RAM; it's inexpensive and will boost system performance.

Before running a memory-intensive application, use the Processes Tab to identify memory-hogging applications, and close them down. The Processes tab of the Task Manager lists every process and program in use and shows the total amount of memory each uses. Click twice on the Mem Usage heading on the tab to reorder the list of programs and processes so that those that require most memory show up at the top. Close down programs that you don't really need before running a memory-intensive application.

If the Peak Commit Charge is frequently at or near the Limit Commit Charge, you need to increase your memory. When this occurs, it means that your PC is frequently out of memory or close to being out of memory. Either add RAM or increase your Page File size.

Yeahhh..that's all. I hope this information was useful for you guys.

VideoDownloader - Download video from Youtube.com

Currently, I'm using the VideoDownloader to download a video from Youtube. It's a handy Firefox extension I've ever used. Hehe..After you have installed this extension, you'll found a small icon, on the Firefox status bar.

To use it, simply go to Youtube and click any of the videos right there. And then, while the page is still loading, press the Stop button on your Firefox browser (this tips to make sure you can download the video more faster).

After that, click to the VideoDownloader icon(at the Firefox status bar) and you will see something like this:-
Click the Download Link button and you'll be able to start download the video immediately. Don't forget to rename the video file to get_video.flv or anyname.flv after the download has been completed.

To play the FLV files, feel free to download the FLV Player. You can also convert the FLV files to AVI, WMV, MPEG using the Replay Converter.

Other alternative to download the video from Youtube is using the Vixy.net: online video converter. Yeahhh!!

Illustrator tutorial - Create 3D logo

Ok guys, let's go for Illustrator tutorial. Today I'd like to show you how to create a 3D logo easily using 3D effect in Illustrator. I knew that maybe some of you guys has been thinking that -- creating 3D logos was really hard and complicated. No way. I promise you, at the end of this tutorial you'll never know that creating 3D logo is just a piece of cake! Ok, here we go!

Software: Adobe Illustrator CS

Step 1

Open your Illustrator program. Create a new document with any Artboard Setup and select RGB Color for Color Mode. In this tutorial, I've used 500px x 500px artboard setup.


Step 2

Select the Type Tool (T) and type 'X' in the artboard (I use the Broadway font in this tutorial). Select the 'X', right click and set font size: 72. Fill in the blue color on it. You'll get something like below:-



Note: Image zoom-in to 200% (Ctrl + +).


Step 3

Select the 'X' and go to Effect > 3D > Extrude & Bevel. Click on Preview on the right sidebar. Set the Extrude & Bevel, Extrude Depth: 30 pt. Leave everything as default and click OK (see below).






Step 4

Select our 3D 'X', go to Object > Expand Appearance. You will see the object will break apart. Next (while the 'X' was still selected) go to Object > Ungroup (Ctrl + Shift + G). You need to do this step(Ungroup) up to 4 to 5 times to break all our 3D object perfectly.



Note: You will know the object was fully break apart if you can select on a small part the image (see above image).


Step 5

Select the Direct Selection Tool (A). Press the Shift key, and select all the shadow image of our object. After you have done that, go to Object > Group (G). You will have something like below:-



Optional: Look closely at the 'X' color, it has dark blue once you applied the 3D effect on it. So I'm gonna change that color to #027ABB or 2, 122, 187 for RGB.

Step 6

Go to Swatches palette (Window > Swatches) and apply the White, Black gradient color on the shadow.

You will get something like below:-



Now we gonna change that Black shadow color to Blue. Open your Color palette (F6) and Gradient palette (F9).

To change the Gradient slider to blue, click the small triangle-rectangle button on the right and just right after that enter R:0, G:61 and B: 127 as below.

And don't forget to set the gradient Angle: 125 and press Enter.




Step 7

Copy (Ctrl + C) the original 'X' (the one that was in front) and paste it in front (Ctrl + F).

Click on the duplicate 'X', apply the black-white Gradient color on it. Go to Transparency palette and set to Screen.




Step 8

Ok, final step. While the duplicate 'X' is still on selected, go to Gradient Tool or press G. Drag your cursor from top left to the center of the duplicate 'X'. See below:-



You'll get something similar like this:-



Move the duplicate 'X' to the top left and you may resize it a little bit.

Our final result:-



Some of other result with different color settings:-


And here are some other shapes I created using the similar technique:-

Feel free to drop any comments if you do not understand or have better ideas. That's all!!

Pixelmoon - Moon life fantasy

Hi guys, I just found this cool stuff. It's cool for me because this Pixelmoon page contains a lot of great images. The idea is simple. The webmaster ask you to design some simple .gif and .png image with a space theme and he will add them to that page.

If you are a designer like me, hehe..you probably love this one. By the way, if you want to contribute some image to this website, make sure your artwork is original. Besides, you can view your country's flag on the top of the page once your project has been accepted.

Other than that, you also can make the animated gif image as you can see at that web page. I'm not pretty sure what software did they used to create those image. I think some of them use Macromedia Flash to create the animation.

Maybe I'll send something to that website soon. It's really cool. Yeahhh!!

For further info, visit this Pixelmoon website.

Blogger - Upload your files to Google Pages

Yeahh..This is another great tips for blogger.com users out there. Google Pages or Google Page Creator has provides a free service for you to upload your stuff. Currently I've uploaded the Windows Vista wallpapers into my Google Pages account. Besides, you may use it to upload your blog's favicon as well.

To use this service, simply login to Google Pages using your Gmail account. Go to the right sidebar and you will see the Uploaded Stuff menu. Click on upload > browse your file > open. That's all. As simple as that.

Google Pages provides 100MB space. From what I've read, you can only upload 9MB to 10MB file/upload. Means that, if you want to upload a 100MB file, you have to split it into 10 or 11 files.

The only problem with this service is, Google Pages has a limited bandwidth. Hmm..maybe someday we hope that Google can make this free service has an unlimited bandwidth. Hehe..
