Although this may strictly not be a performance related tweak you would like this fix as it saves u some of your precious clicks :)

As you know; while deleting a file from your PC, you get an alert message to confirm your action. Many would agree that this message is very annoying while deleting lot many files from different locations.

Note:

2 If you wish to permanently delete a file you will still continue to receive a system alert to confirm your action, Safe isn't it?

> Useful websites sorted by Category

Just before connecting to internet, I have a long to-do list. I have to check a lot of sites, reply to some messages, check mails, play games and much much more. Not being a person who lists down such points, once connected to internet I am left thinking what next.

Only if I had a consolidated list of sites divided systematically into categories, it would make my life easier.

I knew there were nice people out there who already had such ideas, and had created a list somewhere, but where do I start searching for? Coz where ever I begin from, there are "n" number of pages popping up.

My search continued till yesterday when I happened to check an archived folder in an old mailbox.

Wow...There it was. That's the mail I was searching for.
A well formatted list of websites that are systematically divided into sub-categories.

It basically covers all major categories from Legal to Jobs...from Cricket to Contests...from Entertainment to Shopping and these are just a few.

I really would not like to misplace this file again, hence noting it down ;)
You can access the file HERE

If you feel, the list (excel sheet) should have some amended site names, do let me know viz comments...Have Fun :)

> Best Web Hosting

4.95 USD or 232.993 Indian Rupees is all that it takes to own an online space of your own. Your own online world where you can create your personal/business pages, store unlimited files, a professional website...possibilities can go on. All this and much more for a price of 1 time combo meal, isn't that great?

To be frank, I myself never believed in paying for some service that I can get free online. I was forced to change this thought when I uploaded a well structured site on a free host and it just doomed one morning. The browser did not respond to my site URL and there was this a big "Page cannot be displayed" error on screen.

The portion that I had manually backup up stayed with me, rest was all gone.

This is when I started reviewing all available paid hosts. Services were almost similar but did not turn to be cost effective. I wanted maximum in my economical budget. After a lot of research, I finalized one.

110mb.com - Web Hosting

Its one of the best in market. An all unlimited featured service that stands out in its competition.

Some of its key features being
* UNLIMITED Disk Space
* UNLIMITED Bandwidth
* UNLIMITED MySQL Databases
* No Ads
* E-Mail/Ticket Support
* PHP Sendmail
* Unlimited File Types
* 35 + One Click Installs, Including Wordpress.
* Much, Much, More!

All this at a price of a days meal ;) Isn't that affordable. Now thats a great deal.

> Make Firefox Browser load faster

While opening a Mozilla Firefox browser window, we often notice that it takes much longer to load than most other browser brands, for instance Google Chrome or Microsoft Internet Explorer. This is because of some background logic which increases the loading time.

Here is a quick method to reduce this excess time. Once you've performed this, your browser will respond much faster than usual and you'll be able to surf better.

To start with, open your Firefox browser and continue the steps below.

Type about:config in the address bar, Then look for the following entries, and make the corresponding changes.
network.http.max-connections-per-server =32
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy =16
network.http.max-connections = 64
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server = 10
network.http.pipelining = true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests = 200
network.http.request.max-start-delay = 0
network.http.proxy.pipelining = true
network.http.proxy.version = 1.0

Once this is done, right click anywhere on the screen and select New > Integer. Name it as nglayout.initialpaint.delay and set its value to 0. This value is for the amount of time the browser will wait before it acts on any information it receives.

This is it. Close all browser windows and load again, they should be much faster now.

Pls note: This method is tested and works wonders, however pls do not proceed unless you are confident of your action.

> Mini Browsers For Mobiles Devices

As we move towards Future, wireless technology slowly takes over the wired age. People like to go mobile with hand held devices that are capable of accessing internet through GPRS, Wi-Fi etc. Without the need to carry bulky laptops around, you can connect to the world on the go. Just an internet connection and a web browser is all you need.

With all the advancements, people ask for more, hence companies constantly work on their web browsers to come up with an advanced version.

If you are currently not satisfied with your mobile browser or wish to experiment with new browsers, here is a list of mini browsers that you should try.

Opera Mini: This is my first choice. Its popular and one of the best. There are several versions to suit you mobile device. Most recent cell phones already have this preinstalled. It has a superb compression, smooth scrolling, its extremely fast and able to play online video. These are few cool features that make the latest version of Opera Mini even better than before. It’s available for free on the Opera Mini Download Page or directly from a cellphones.

UCWEB Mobile Browser: This browser is very popular in China. Its freely available for Java and Symbian phones. The most noticable features of this browser is the Password manager and the Tabbed browsing.
Some other common features being
1)Advanced search function with a support for various search engines and the ability to sort results.
2)Email service that supports many online mailboxes and different types of attachment formats.
3)A cool Download interface for better download control.
4)Personal data synchronization between phone, web and PC.
You can downoad the browser HERE

Fennec browser: Fennec is a Mozilla product so using this is like using firefox browser on Mobile. It's still in Alpha and is only available in some selected mobile devices, however anybody can test this browser free on your computer (Windows/Mac/Linux). Just visit the download site.
Some obvious traits for Fennec are:
>Bookmarking with tags.
>Using smart URL Bar with integrated built-in search.
>Tabbed browsing with image thumbnails and page zoom in feature.
>Password manager and the ability to clear private data.
>Built in Pop-up blocker.

> Increase Broadband Internet Speed

There is no magic or hacking here. Its a simple tweak on your available resource.
Windows XP by default reserves 20% of the overall available bandwidth. Thus reducing a portion of you available broadband limit.

Here are some quick steps that will remove this restriction by overriding the default reserve and get optimum value for your money. It will hardly take minutes if you are well versed with Windows.

To start with, make sure you have all rights to change your system settings. For this, you will need to log in as a Primary Owner or Administrator.

Once this is done, just follow these steps:

1) Go to Start > Run > type gpedit.msc
2) Here you will see [Local Computer Policy]
3) Expand the [Administrative Templates] option
4) Expand the [Network] option
5) Click on [QoS Packet Scheduler]
6) On Right pane Double-click [Limit Reservable Bandwidth]
7) Check [Enabled]
8) Change [Bandwidth limit %] to 0 %
9) Click [Apply] [OK]
10) Restart your system

Effects are immediate.

As you know every site on the net is a well written and organized structure of files and folders that you see in a graphical format with hyperlinks linking each of them. Most of these folders are hidden or password protected so as to avoid direct public access to them. Those that are not can be classified as intended Public files or just Unprotected. Its silly, but true that there are several websites on the net that some of their contents unprotected and can be accessed by others to get best out of it.

You can get a variety of files that can be opened or downloaded without logging in.
How do you do this? You can't go to every website searching for the unprotected content :)

Don't worry, you don't have to.

Here is a command that queries a search engine, be it Google, Yahoo or any other to provide a list of sites that have unprotected files and displays the results based on your query.

Enter the following string in the search field:

-inurl(html|htm|php) intitle:”index of” +”last modified” +”parent directory” +description +size

This will bring up a list of sites and you can hunt for whatever you can find. Something like the screenshot below.
















Now once you get familiar with this, I'm sure you would want to search list of specific file types like 3gp or wmv or avi...etc

Just modify the string as below:

-inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:”index of” +”last modified” +”parent directory” +description +size +(3gp|avi)


This query will look for 3gp or avi video files. You can easily change the file formats from 3gp|avi to extensions of your choice.

eg:
-inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:”index of” +”last modified” +”parent directory” +description +size +(mp3|mov)
or
-inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:”index of” +”last modified” +”parent directory” +description +size +(pdf)

There is so much to experiment in this, you will be hooked onto your file hunting :)



Further to this, if you want to search for some specific file names with desired extensions, you can modify the query accordingly

The string will read as:
-inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:”index of” +”last modified” +”parent directory” +description +size +(jpg|gif) "pamela"

Pls note: You may not get the exact results all the time, but sometime you may hit the bulls eye and have a gold mine (a long list of files you've always wanted ;)

Its fun to go searching around these unprotected files and yeah, for all those saints out there, pls don't consider this unethical. The files are on the World Wide Web and in an unprotected condition. Consider it to be meant that way, for being accessed by anyone, else why would someone put such crucial content on the web without password protecting it :)

I hope you go my point.
