Did you notice the space below Run in Start Menu?

By Mathi Hemanth Kumar
The following tutorial gives you the way to use that free space for your own shortcut, e.g., u can create a shortcut for Windows Media Player in that free space.
Simply post the following code in Notepad and save it as any file name but make sure that the extension must be".REG".

CODE:


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{2559a1f6-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}]
@="Windows Media Player"
"InfoTip"="Windows Media Player 11"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{2559a1f6-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}\DefaultIcon]
@="%SystemRoot%\\system32\\SHELL32.dll,168"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{2559a1f6-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}\InProcServer32]
@=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00 ,52,00,6f,00,6f,00,74,00,25,\
00,5c,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00 ,32,00,5c,00,73,00,68,00,\
64,00,6f,00,63,00,76,00,77,00,2e,00,64,00,6c,00,6c ,00,00,00
"ThreadingModel"="Apartment"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{2559a1f6-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}\Instance]
"CLSID"="{3f454f0e-42ae-4d7c-8ea3-328250d6e272}"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{2559a1f6-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}\Instance\InitPropertyBag]
"CLSID"="{13709620-C279-11CE-A49E-444553540000}"
"method"="ShellExecute"
"Command"="Windows Media Player"
"Param1"="%ProgramFiles%\\Windows Media Player\\wmplayer.exe"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{2559a1f6-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}\shellex]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{2559a1f6-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{2559a1f6-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{2559a1f 6-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}]
@=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{2559a1f6-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}\shellex\MayChangeDefaultMenu]
@=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{2559a1f6-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}\ShellFolder]
"Attributes"=dword:00000000



Now run this file and it'll ask your confirmation, say YES and then OK. Now you will see a new entry for Windows Media Player under the RUN menu item. (U may required to log off for make the changes)

In the above tutorial the things, which I have posted in BOLD may be changed for other shortcuts. Like u can change the name to some other if u want!
The "Default Icon" is the path of the icon file, which u want to display in the Start menu shortcut. (NOTE: Double slashes r compulsory).
Similarly, the "Param1" in "Instance\InitPropertyBag" is the path of the executable file, to which u want to create the shortcut. (Here also the Double slashes r compulsory!).

Waterproof Night Vision Scope

By Mathi Hemanth Kumar
If you have ever played any of the brilliant Splinter Cell series of games, chances are that a night vision device has found it's way on to your Christmas list. Afterall, how else are you meant to take out those enemy guards whilst creeping around a darkened warehouse? What set's the Bushnell Seagull night vision scope apart from similar devices is that fact that it is also water proof and floats making it the perfect choice for those water-based missions (as well as more mundane activities like sailing and fishing). As well as amplifiying even minimal amounts of light, such as moonlight, the Seagull night vision scope includes an integral infra red lamp. This means that, unlike inferior scopes, it can operate in total darkness as well. Related Links Spy Gadgets

SanDisk Sansa Fuze Review

By Mathi Hemanth Kumar
The Sansa Fuze from SanDisk, is a cool little MP3/4 player along the same vein as the iPod Nano. We’ve recently been sent one to play with so here are our thoughts and findings (or a review so to speak). Aesthetically the Fuze is a cute little player.The physical UI consists of a rotating front dial which also acts as the 4 navigation buttons with the center button for selection. The display crisp with a resolution of 220 x 176, large enough for watching the odd music video but you wouldn’t want to watch a feature length film on it. Sound quality was good (though as with just about any MP3 player the supplied headphones aren’t the greatest). What most impressed me about the Fuze are the extra features that you don’t find on other (note iPod) players, including: Built in microphone FM radio microSD Slot, a really cheap way to expand the capacity Easy to transfer files (drag and drop) without the need of propriety software Though there are a few downsides: Propriety USB connectio...
