Download image for which "Right Click" is disabled

First thing you need is Google chrome.
So go to google chrome site and download it
Following is the link
Download google chrome
Now, open the site from which you want to download that image.
Right Click the image and drag and drop it to the current tab i.e at the top where tabs are located.

Now, google chrome will automatically download the image for you to the downloaded folder.

Though there are many ways to do this..this is one of them.
Njoy:)

Difference between kbps and KBps

Though this is not trick but still I am posting this, coz many people are still confused between the download speeds they get.
Sometime you feel like your Service provider is not giving you the same Bandwidth for downloading what he has proposed to you. After reading this, hope there wont be any further confusion.


Lets start with definition,
there are 8 bits in one byte.

8 bits = 1 byte.
1024 bytes = 1KB
1024 KB = 1 MB
1024 MB = 1 GB

Service Providers says "bandwidth" in Mega Bits.
So, 1Mbps is 1 Megabits per second

And what we people are interested in is Download or Upload speed which we usually measured in Bytes or Kilobytes -KBps or KBs.

Roughly - if you divide your bandwidth (in bits/megabits) by 8 (because 8 bits equals a byte) you will arrive at the download speed you'll get for that plan.
Using the same example, a 1 Mbps connection will give you a download speed of 125KBps

How to put a background of your choice to any folder in Windows XP

How to put a background image of your choice to any folder or flash drive for  Windows XP


1: Copy and paste the following code, then save it as "desktop.ini"

For Windows XP:

[.ShellClassInfo]
IconFile=%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll
IconIndex=127
ConfirmFileOp=0
[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
Attributes=1
IconArea_Image="yourpicture.jpg"
IconArea_Text="0xFFFFFF"
VeBRA sources - don't delete the tag above, it's there for XXXXX purposes -
[ExtShellFolderViews]
{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}={BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}
{5984FFE0-28D4-11CF-AE66-08002B2E1262}={5984FFE0-28D4-11CF-AE66-08002B2E1262}
[{5984FFE0-28D4-11CF-AE66-08002B2E1262}]
PersistMoniker=Folder.htt
PersistMonikerPreview=%WebDir%\folder.bmp




2: Put "desktop.ini" file to your folder or into the flash drive and replace "yourpicture" from above code with the name & path of the picture you want to use(leaving the .jpg extension the same.)
e.g. IconArea_Image="g33ktrick.jpg"

3: Copy the same picture that you used as name into the required folder/flash drive (where you already put desktop.ini)

4: Now just "Refresh" (F5)
