Efficient Windows Search - Browse the contents of the files.


Unable to find a file you are after!!!.
Suppose The File name you are looking for is "Wimbledon2013.doc" but you cant recall its name .
But you remember that it contained "Andy Murray".
Here you go - Search with "Andy Murray" and it will show you "Wimbledon2013.doc".

In Short, You can go to
  1. "Folder Options"
  2. "Search"
  3. In "What  to Search" option Choose "Always Search File Names and Contents(this may take several minutes)
  4. Press OK.

This can be more useful when you do code debugging.

Lazy Emailing

Being a Lazy Guy it kills me to login to my two email accounts Gmail and Yahoo and keep on toggling between them.
In my smartphone I have an option where I have configured both my emails and it displays me as a whole..also I have an option to choose either of 2.
If I don't have Outlook or desktop email clients and I want to do some thing similar then with what available in web what should I do then?..
I chose 2 options..
1) Whatever email comes to my Yahoo email account , I enabled a rule to forward it to my gmail account.
Its pretty simple.Those who are not aware please refer to the screenshot below.

2) Now suppose I want to achieve this -
I will login to my gmail account and I will send an email to my friend.
However, My friend will think I have sent the email from my Yahoo account..

Opaque??
I will do the following.
1.I will sign in to gmail.
2.I will Compose an email.
3.I will Get an option to chose between my Gmail id and Yahoo Id while I send an email.
4.Sent it.

Something like this :


Cool right? This is how you do it..




Now here is the pop up :
Now Choose  Send through Gmail (easier to set up)
Now Choose "Send Verification"
Verify.
Send a test email

Thanks for reading Guys...



Disk Cleanup with Task Scheduler

A Task Scheduler helps you to run a task which you plan to do manually.

Like Every Monday I need to run a job to cleanup junk files from my laptop.

So what I do?
1.go to Start button.
2.Locate Accessories.
3.Locate System tools.
4.Choose the tool Disk Cleanup.

After clicking few yes/next/finish it gives me a satisfaction that my lappy is free of Junk files.

I want to forget this task.So I gave the responsibility to my laptop to remember this.Now how I did? Googled..
1.go to Start button.
2.Locate Accessories.
3.Locate System tools and Task Scheduler.
4.Googled and found that the program/executable which runs to clean up my disk is known as "cleanmgr.exe" and is located in the path %windir%\system32\cleanmgr.exe
5.I opened Task Scheduler.
6.In right Pane there was Actions Tab, I chose "Create Basic task" and a window popped up.
7.I gave my Task a relevant name and some description and clicked next.
8.It took me to a page where it asked when I want to run my job.Its full of radio buttons.I chose Weekly and clicked Next.
9.Here I gave the timing and clicked Next.
10.It asked What action I need to perform.I chose "Start a program" and clicked next.
11.It asked me which script to Run - I gave %windir%\system32\cleanmgr.exe and clicked next and finished it.
Now every Monday DiskCleanup runs automatically.

I Just click and permit it to run.

You can try googling and experimenting with Task Scheduler..Even I will.
