Add Items, Shortcuts In Right Click Send To Menu

Add Items, Shortcuts In Right Click Send To Menu

More often, there is a need to transfer some of the files and folders to other places of the computer. For this, either we use copy & paste method or use ‘send to’ option present in the right-click menu. The ‘send to’ option is a very convenient way but it contains only few options in it to which we can directly transfer files and folders.

Most of us will not be knowing that we can actually enhance the send to menu manually according to our need. Inwindows 9x and xp, it was very easy to achieve it but in windows 7 and vista, it has become a little trickier.

Actually, the items in the Sendto menu are links stored in a folder labeled “Sendto”. The Sendto folder used to be located in the “Documents and Settings” folder under each user name in win 9x and xp but in vista and Windows 7, it is buried deeply in the “UsersYournameAppData” folder, which is normally a hidden folder.

For this, i will suggest you a method to add items in the sendto menu in widows 7 and vista.
at first, you just hold the ‘windows’ key in your keyboard and click ‘R’ key to open the run. Here, write ‘%appdata%’ and click ‘ok’.

It will take you to the folder ‘roaming’. But you have to go further in the folder ‘Microsoft’ then, windows’ then, ‘Sendto’ just like this. Here, you will see the shortcuts in the sendto folder. Now, you just have to copy & paste your own shortcuts so that you can do your work smoothly.

You can not only add shortcuts to applications, but also shortcuts to folders, drives and network locations. You can even add shortcuts to batch files that will perform specific actions on files.

Also, read about a tool on Add Useful Options To Enhance Send To Menu which will do the same job with just few clicks but still you should know how to do it manually and definitely ‘sendto menu’ is a nice feature when you know about its secrets.

How to Speed Up Gmail

How to Speed Up Gmail



Gmail isn’t slow. If you notice a slow down while loading Gmail, it’s most probably because you have a slow internet connection or other factors from your side that make Gmail load slow. Here we will show you some tricks to speed up Gmail and make it load faster even if you have a slow internet connection.

Turn off the Chat feature in Gmail

Since Google Talk was launched, most of us don’t use the Chat feature in Gmail anymore, instead we will use Google Talk to chat with our Gmail friends. Turning off the Chat feature can reduce the load burden on Gmail and will definitely speed up the loading time on Gmail. To turn off chat feature, login to your Gmail account, scroll to the very bottom, and then click on turn off chat.

Add ?nocheckbrowser argument to Gmail default address

Open Gmail using this address https://mail.google.com/gmail?nocheckbrowser. This will tell Gmail not to check your browser when you open it. This can significantly help to reduce the loading time on Gmail.

Turn off buzz if you don’t need it

Same goes to buzz. If you don’t need the buzz feature, you can simply turn it off to reduce the loading time on Gmail. To turn off the buzz feature, login to your Gmail account, scroll to the very bottom, and then click on turn off buzz.

Switch to Basic HTML Mode

HTML mode sacrifices all fancy AJAX-driven features. However, if you have a slow internet connection, HTML mode can be the most effective way to speed up your Gmail load time. To switch Gmail to HTML mode, login to your Gmail account, scroll to the very bottom, and then click on basic HTML.Remove unwanted emails
If your inbox is filled with excess mails, Gmail will take extra time to load. It’s better for you to delete all unwanted mails as well as spams.

Clear your browser cache

Cleaning up your browser cache regularly can definitely help you in speeding up the browsing speed.

Reduce number of browser’s plugins

As always, a laggy browser usually caused by excessive plugins which have to be loaded every time you start a tab or a window. Reducing number of browser’s plugins can help to load Gmail faster.
gmail reduce number of mails shown each page

Reduce the number of emails shown on each page

The lesser the number of mails shown on each page, the faster Gmail load a page. You can easily set the maximum number of mails shown on each page from the setting page. Click on the Settings link which appears on the top right corner, under Maximum page size, set your desired numbers.

Happiness comes not from being loved, but from loving

Happiness comes not from being loved, but from loving


Someone told me once,  bring a gift for everyone, every time you see them. I think this is a great piece of advice.

If you are thinking that this is impossible, realise that giving doesn’t have to involve physical objects. In fact, in my experience, it is better for it not to be. Give a smile or a kind thought, hug a crying friend, open a door for a stranger, work to forgive those who hurt you, say a silent prayer when you drive past an accident. That way, we never run out, and we never get tired.

Why? This is a step towards one of the most transformative spiritual practices of all – the simple decision to be kind, easy-going, and forgiving to everyone, including oneself.

If you believe in the idea that we are all one consciousness, that the idea of “me” is just an illusion of separation, then this is a practice that dissolves that boundary between self and not-self. When we give, no longer are we thinking of ourselves. No longer are we the tiny ego, the small self, the selfish person. If we are genuinely kind, we become – for that brief moment – connected to something far bigger, far more majestic.

Other teachings say that whatever you give comes back to you, since we are all interconnected. If we all swim in the same ocean, then whatever we spread outwards also affects us. Would you put kindness or hatred into the ocean that you yourself swim in?

This can have psychological benefits too – caring for a beloved pet is a proven effective way to reduce depression. Giving kindness, whoever the recipient is, makes you feel better.

If you don’t believe in any of this, then you will have lived a kind and generous life for its own sake.

We cannot give with expectation of a reward. Not even a “thank you”. It is very easy to fall into the trap of giving for the sake of receiving. And this “temptation” returns again and again. When I first made the decision to be kind to everyone, I did it without any expectations of return, which is how it should be. But over the months that followed, I noticed how everyone reacted to me – people treated me kindly, went out of their way for me, gave me lots of approval. This was something I craved, so this temptation had come back in – I wanted their affection and approval, and that had contaminated my kindness. It was kindness at first, but became corrupted further down the road.

In fact, there were deeper levels to this false giving. This kindness came from a secret feeling of worthlessness. That I will not be liked for who I am, so at least I will be liked for my giving. This was unknown and hidden from me at first, and can be quite hard to see, so look especially hard for similar motivations in yourself.

Even worse, false giving won’t heal any deeper insecurities you might have. In my case, it didn’t heal my hidden sense of worthlessness at all – because the appreciation and kindness I got back never reached it.If YOU give from a mask, then the appreciation YOU get only reaches that mask, and not my heart.

This just leads to more frustration, and a deepening insecurity. Sometimes we even hate ourselves for our false giving, because on some level, we know it isn’t genuine.

This simple decision can be hard at times; it is something that I am still practicing. But the more I practice, the more I see the truth in the old saying – Happiness comes not from being loved, but from loving. Loving is its own reward.

INFORMATION ABOUT STROKE

INFORMATION  EVERYONE SHOULD  KNOW.....

Blood Clots / Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator,  the Tongue




I  will continue to forward this every time it  comes around! 
STROKE: Remember  the 1st Three Letters.... S. T. R.  

STROKE  IDENTIFICATION:
 


During a BBQ, a friend  stumbled and took a little fall - she assured  everyone that she was fine (they offered to call  paramedics). She said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. 


They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of  food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid  went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening
 


Ingrid's husband called later  telling everyone that his wife had been taken to  the hospital - (at 6:00  pm  Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with  us today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. 


It  only takes a minute to read this...
 


A  neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke  victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the  effects of a stroke... totally. He said  the trick was getting a stroke recognized,  diagnosed, and then getting the patient  medically cared for within 3 hours, which is  tough. 


RECOGNIZING A STROKE
 

Thank  God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR. 
  


Read and Learn!
 



Sometimes symptoms of a  stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately,  the lack of awareness spells disaster. The  stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage  when people nearby fail to recognize the  symptoms of a stroke. 

Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three  simple questions:
 
S *Ask  the individual to SMILE. 

T *
Ask  the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE  (Coherently - i.e. It is sunny out  today.) 

R
 *Ask  him or her to RAISE BOTH  ARMS. 
If  he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these  tasks, call emergency number immediately  and describe the symptoms to the  dispatcher. 

New  Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue
 

NOTE:  Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the  person to 'stick' out his tongue.. If the tongue  is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the  other
,  that is  also an indication of a  stroke. 

A  cardiologist says if everyone who gets this  e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that  at least one life will be saved.  


I  have done my part. Will  you?
