Do you get tired of listening same windows startup and shutdown sound?? If yes, then this trick is for you. By using this you can change default windows startup and shutdown sound and can use any of your favorite voice or music as your system’s shutdown and start up. Here are steps for this.





1). Choose the track or sound which you want to set as start-up and shutdown sound, But remember that file should be in .WAV formatand size of file should not be large it should be smaller than 1 mb otherwise startup will take longer time.

Typing Gujarati on a computer is somewhat confusing and not straight-forward.

I have put together a guide on how to get started.

2) Then Click on Download.

3) After Download Do the Following Step.

Double Click on that Download File and it will be like this 


Then Click on Next

Then wait Till Complete

Then Click on Finish

Then You will get Language bar on task bar like follow

Then Start Typing…
(This for Gujarati. Any Other language also have the same process like this process)

Configuration

If you want to use IME with any application like notepad, you must first open the application and then open our IME. IME can be opened by clicking on the language bar on the desktop and then selecting the IME language icon or through a shortcut key if it’s already configured. To close IME, you can change the language in language bar or try right clicking on the current application to see whether it supports ‘Close IME’ popup menu option or by closing the current application.

Displaying Language Bar
In desktop, right click on tool bar and select Toolbars -> Language bar

Enabling Language Bar

If the ‘Language bar’ option is not visible in ‘Toolbars’, then it needs to be enabled through control panel:

  • Windows 7/Vista



Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Keyboard and Languages tab
Click on Change keyboards… button to open Text services and input languages dialog
Navigate to Language Bar tab
Enable the radio button Docked in the taskbar under Language Bar section
Apply all settings and try to display language bar as mentioned in previous section.

If you are installing the IME for East Asian language or Right-To-Left language, go to Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Languages Tab
Make sure that options Install files for complex scripts and right to left languages and Install files for East Asian languages are checked in the checkboxes. This requires installation of system files and the system will prompt to insert the Operating System Disc.
Apply all settings and try to display language bar as mentioned in previous section.

IME Shortcut

A shortcut key sequence can be applied to the IME as follows which can be used to quickly enable IME for any in-focus application:

How to Change the ICON of an EXECUTABLE file

by


Some times it becomes necessary to change the icon of an executable (.exe) file so that the file get�s a new appearance. Many of the tools such as TuneUP Winstyler does this job by adjusting the Windows to display a custom icon to the user. But, in reality if the file is carried to a different computer, then it shows it�s original icon itself.

This means that in order to permanently change the icon, it is necessary to modify the executable file and embed the icon inside the file itself. When this is done the executable file�s icon is changed permanently, so that even if you take file to a different computer it show�s a new icon.
For this purpose I have found a nice tool which will modidify the executable file and embed the icon of your choice into the file itself. ie: The tool changes the icon of the executable file permanently.
I will give you a step-by-step instruction on how to use this tool to change the icon:
  1. Go to www.shelllabs.com and download the trial version of IconChanger and install it (Works on XP, Vista and Win 7).
  2. Run the IconChanger program from Start -> All Programs and you should see an interface as shown below:


  1. Now you will see a window stating that �Choose an object whose icon you want to change�. Click on the �OK� button.
  2. Now select the executable file for which you wish to change the icon.
  3. Icon changer will automatically search for all the icons on your �C: drive� so that you can select any one of those. If your desired icon is not shown in the window, you may paste the path of your icon file in the field which says �Search icons in� so that your desired icon gets displayed.
  4. Select the ICON of your choice and click on Set button.
  5. Now a popup window will appear and ask you to select from either of these two options.
    • Change embeded icon.
    • Adjust Windows to display custom icon.
  6. Select the first option (Change embedded icon). You are done. The icon get�s changed.
