I found this really interesting trick on how to turn your windows XP to look like Mac OS X, leopard to be precise. Turning your Windows XP in Mac OSX will change your Windows XP interface to Mac OSX while all the software already installed will work fine just like on Windows XP, so its like a transformation which changes the look and feel of you Window XP.
The best transformation pack for turning your Window XP to Mac OSX was Flyakite OSX. You need download this transformation pack. If the site does not work, try using Firefox or Safari.
Once the download in complete, double click the downloaded file to install the transformation pack. During the installation, it will ask you to create a restore point; I would recommend you to do that because if you find any problems using the transformation pack, you can easily switch to your old settings. Make sure you do it because this installation mods a lot of system files.

Each time you insert a CD or connect a flash drive to your computer, an annoying pop up greets you, giving you number of options to choose from, yes that is called the Auto play. For some it is really helpful while choosing the actions they want to easily while for me, it got my pc crashed. How? Well, I connected my friends flash drive to my computer to copy off a movie, and as soon as I was done, I tried access my Hard drive, and a start popup started to appear some thing like open with, asking my a program to associate to and that was a virus.
I know there are number of people out there infected for the same stuff so as today I turned off the Autoplay on my computer, I suggested you to turn it off too, and here is how you can do it.
You may find softwares to disable the auto play but I preferred using the Group Policy Editor to do the job. To begin with, you need to open Run from Start button on your bottom left.
You need to type in “gpedit.msc” (without the quotes) and hit enter. You will see a window of Group Policy Editor.
Then, navigate to Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System. Then click on System. Scroll down a little to find “Turn off Autoplay” like shown in the screenshot below.

Earlier I wrote couple of posts on Gmail on 3 Gmail Lab features to try out and Adding HTML signature to your send emails. I found some really interesting apps for Google today and thought of sharing with you guys so here they goes…
First trick lets you create a Quick Link for your Gmail inbox so the next time you open your Gmail, you don’t need to get bothered by the read messages that are already there. If you like archiving your read emails, then you won need this trick.
To do that, you just need to go to the setting page in your Gmail account and check the enable box after the Quicklinks, and then save changes to complete. Now search in your Gmail account for “in:box is:unread” (without adding the quotes) and hit enter, you will be displayed a list of email that are in your inbox and are unread. While you are doing this, you might have noticed a small box like in the screen shot below.
Click the Add Quick Link on the box that appears write in “Unread” for the title and approve and when next time you sign in, you can easily use your quick link to display your unread email. You can use the search the name your frequent mailer and create a quick link for that. Its that easy. Also, there is another interesting trick on adding your other email account to Gmail.

Hello readers, I came up with few of the most annoying things on your computer and makes you really irritated each time you use your computer like each time you login to your email inbox, a stupid popup appears asking you remember your password before you check your email, well I have added this and couple of other annoying things and will tell you how to fix them.
Let’s start off with the remembering passwords. As I mentioned before that a pop up really annoying each time you put in your password, well my suggestion would be to go for Firefox 3. It easily remembers your password if you push the remember button and best of all it does not shows an annoying popup. If you don’t want to change your browser, then you may consider using Diceware. It should easily solve your problem.
Reinstalling Windows XP every three months or so is a must job, no matter how much to try using an antivirus and keeping the windows as clean as possible to last longer but for strange reasons it start acting weird or slows down too much. Well, now to avoid those hours of re installing Windows, drivers and softwares, I would suggest using nLite for Windows XP or vLite for Vista. This tool is my personal favourite, it cut down all the installations and customizes your pc easily as you want, from installing all the drivers to the softwares you want to use.
