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.
