How To make An Autorun File For USB Drives


How To make An Autorun File For USB Drives

When you plug a USB drive in, you might be interested in making a program ,or other things happen as soon as you plug in. The way you accomplish this is through the Autorun.inf file. The autorun.inf file is located in the root of the usb drive and tells Windows what to do automatically.

This autorun can be used to make good, or bad USB’s depending on what you like.

This tutorial covers:

-Creating a USB Autorun.inf
-Changing label\icon of thumbdrive
-Making a new option appear in the autorun menu
-Making programs automatically run when plugged in

So Read On...

1. Creating a USB Autorun.inf :

To create an autorun file, open Notepad and save ‘autorun.inf’’ (with quotes) and save it to the root of the drive. All it needs to have is in the first line;

[autorun]

Done!
2. Changing label\icon of thumbdrive:

Follow the steps in Creating a USB Autorun.inf. Before you save it, type this in in this order!

[autorun]

icon=myicon.ico

label=MyLabel

And save. Make sure the icon file is in the root of your drive.
3. Making a new option appear in the autorun menu:

Right, so make your autorun file and type this into Notepad:

[autorun]
icon=default
label=[yourlabelhere]
action=programname.exe
Open Program

Save it and exit. Once again, the program has to be in the root. Now, when you plug it in, the option should appear in the menu.
4. Making programs automatically run when the USB is plugged in:

Follow the same instructions, blah blah blah;

[autorun]
Icon=default

Free Web Clipping Tools: Permanently Save Anything That You Find On The Internet

web clipping note taking software

With billions of web pages around, keeping track of information that you discover on the web is extremely tough. Some of us rely on bookmarks but they are unmanageable and become useless over time when the underlying pages disappear because the website structure may have changed.
If your bookmark folder is also getting obese, switch to any of these web clipping tools – they help you capture and save anything from the Internet including text notes, images, complete web pages, documents, PDFs, etc.
So even if the source website is gone, you will never feel lost again.
Microsoft Onfolio – Onfolio is an outstanding note taking application that lets you collect information from web pages as well as all other Windows programs (like Excel, Outlook, Notepad, etc) so you have a central repository of all content captured from websites, emails, screenshots and documents.
onfolio note takingOnfolio provides some very unique features. For instance, you can capture complete websites or single web pages in their entirety including CSS, Javascripts and images so the captured web page looks the same even in offline mode. Onfolio can also download PDF files and Microsoft Office documents from the web with a simple click.
You can also assign colored flags to captured content. The tool is integrated with Windows Live Writer and all popular blog services so you can quickly publish scrapped content onto your blog with proper attribution to the original source.
A limiting point is that Onfolio stores all the content to your local hard drive and so you may not have access to your web research on another computer. You can however export web clipping as compressed web pages (MHT) and share them via email attachments.
Onfolio can either run as a standalone desktop application or as a sidebar in Internet Explorer provided you have installed Windows Live Toolbar. Other commercial alternatives to Onfolio include Microsoft OneNote and EverNote.
Clipmarks – Working like a pair of scissors, Clipmarks is a very innovative web based software for clipping snippets from web pages, images and even YouTube videos – you place the mouse cursor over a portion you want to save, Clipmarks will then intelligently draw a logical boundary surrounding that snippet and a click will put a copy of that portion to your online Clipmarks account.
clipped websites
This is a perfect solution for grabbing specific portions of any web page that matter the most to you – it could be a video on YouTube, contact address of a friend, a quote on Wikipedia or anything else. And Clipmark will always include  a link to the original source so you always know the origin of your clippings. For IE, Firefox and Flock.
ToRead and InstaPaper – You discover an interesting web page but do not have the time to read it. So you either save the URL of that page to your Browser bookmarks or store it in del.icio.us with the tags "follow" or "toread".
unread web pagesNow this methods involves some effort so you want to try toread or instapaper for keeping up with unread web pages – both services are dead simple but extremely useful. You neither have to type anything nor open any new windows.
With toread, a click will send a full copy of the current web page to your email address. In case of Instapaper, the address of the current web page is captured to your online instapaper account so you have a instant list of unread pages. 
Google Notebook – If you want quick access to all your web research while on the move, Google Notebook is the only decent choice. This online web clipping tool from Google is available for IE, Firefox and they also have a version for mobile phones so you can take notes from your iPhone or BlackBerry.
One of the most useful features in Google Notebook is the integration with Google Web search. You can save any search result to online Google Notebook by clicking the Note Thislink that appears next to every search result on Google.com.
Google Notebook Web Clippings
The sharing features in Google Notebook are also impressive. You can publish certain notebooks as public so anyone (including search engine bots) can read your web clips like a regular web page. Alternatively, you can invite friends or family members to work together on a particular notebook. Nice option if you want to do some collaborative research for a group project or an upcoming vacation.
Google Notebook are currently not supported on Apple Safari or Opera.
With any of these tools on your system, there’s little probability that you will ever loose touch with important stuff you ever discovered on the Internet.
Iterasi is another promising tool for clipping web pages but it’s in closed beta. Also check outRipt for ripping text and images from web pages and converting them into scrapbook.

convert pdf swf flash
Like Scibd and SlideShare, PDFMeNot is an online PDF to Flash converter that will instantly convert any Adobe PDF document into a Macromedia Flash (SWF) movie while preserving the original layout, image graphics and formatting.
The PDF to SWF converter can very useful when you have to embed PDF files in web pages for inline viewing or you want to read PDF files on a computer that has no Acrobat Reader.
Here’s how to create Flash movies from PDF documents:
1. Go to PDFMeNot.com (Username: stateless Password: systems) and type the URL of the PDF file – you can use this PDF link as an example. Alternatively upload a PDF from the local hard drive.
2. In your Firefox menu bar, click Tools -> Page Info -> Media. Select the object that has an SWF extension (e.g. pdfmenot.com/store/f6a29535da98cd1.swf)  and save it to your disk. That’s the SWF file created from your PDF document. For IE, here’s the trick to save Flashlocally.
Bloggers can embed the following JS code in their web templates and PDF links will open in Flash SWF format via PDFMeNot.
While PDFMeNot is an extremely convenient option for quickly viewing PDF files in the browser without loading Adobe Reader, the downside is that the generated SWF objects contains Zoom but no Print and Search function. They are all supported in Macromedia Flash Paper format used by Scribd. Thanks Marshall.

Wikipedia Tips & Tricks: Learn How to Use Wikipedia More Effectively


Wikipedia, the largest online encyclopedia, needs no introduction. We share some of the best tools, tips and tricks to help you use Wikipedia more effectively and productively.
wikipedia hacks printed
1. Find knowledgeable writers for your Blog or print magazines via Wikipedia
Say you are looking for people who know about "Earthquakes" and can write for your publication. Open the Earthquake page on Wikipedia and switch to the history tab.
Here you’ll see a list of people who have contributed to that Wikipedia article – click the profile name of the contributor to read more about him and then use the Talk feature of Wikipedia to send him a message via Wikipedia.
2. Read Wikipedia Pages without Internal Links
wikipedia-internal-linksWikipedia pages are written in black text but sometimes they appear blue because each and every word in the article is an hyperlink to another Wikipedia story – see this snapshot from Google’s Wikipedia entry.
If you like to view Wikipedia articles sans excessive links, there’s a simple hack – just go to your browser address bar and append&printable=yes to the URL. Alternatively, click the "Printable version" link in the sidebar.
Before: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google
After: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google&printable=yes
3. Track Wikipedia Articles via RSS or Email Alerts
You can track changes edits for any Wikipedia page via RSS feeds or instant email alerts. This is useful in two situations – you want to prevent vandalism or you want to keep yourself updated when some new information is added to topics of your interest.
To track Wikipedia stories, click the history tab of any article and then select the RSS feed from the sidebar. It looks something like this – replace Google with a different title.
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Google&feed=rss&action=history
You can either subscribe to this feed in any newsreader or go to sendmerss.com to get the same information via email alerts.
4. Read Wikipedia on Mobile Phones
wikipedia-searchWhile the lengthy pages of Wikipedia may look good on your large desktop screen, they are not really optimized for the small screen of your mobile phone.
Enter wapedia.mobi – it’s a Wikipedia search and browse tool for mobile phones. If a Wikipedia article is particularly long, Wapedia will split it into multiple page so they load faster on your phone similar to Google Transcoder. Also see: Read Websites on Mobile Phones with Google
5. Find Wikipedia Articles About Places / People / Events Near Your Home
wikipedia-google-mapsGo to Google Maps, type the address of your home in the search box (or for that matter, any place on earth) and turn on the Wikipedia layer – it is available in the top right corner of the map.
Zoom in and you’ll see markers that resemble the Wikipedia icon. Click to read a summary of the corresponding Wikipedia article.
6. Download the full Wikipedia Encyclopedia
If you want to browse Wikipedia on computers that are not connected to the Internet, you may download Wikipedia to your hard-drive and browse the entire site offline. The latest dumpis for 04-07. For geeks, the latest dump is available here – it’s in SQL / XML format.
7. How to Credit Articles Published on Wikipedia
wikipedia-citationUnlike stories published on news websites and blogs that generally remain static throughout their life, Wikipedia articles change with time. 
Therefore when you refer to a Wikipedia page in a blog, try linking to the current snapshot, not the primary article, else your readers may miss context when they visit Wikipedia because the page may have completely changed.
The URL of the latest snapshot is in the sidebar as "Permanent Link".
