Simple Formatting on Gmail Chat
A couple of weeks ago I was chatting using Gmails' integrated chat feature. The other person then sent a bold formatted message, then I found it interesting. So I started Googlin' for more formatting options and found that you can actually type in bold, italics, and strikeout. Pretty neat huh?
So here's the formatting:
- surrounding text with *, as *bold*, turns out bold
- surrounding text with _, as _italics_, turns out italics
- surrounding text with -, as -strikethrough-, turns out strikethrough.
I looked and looked for underline but never found it. If anyone knows how to, please comment.
Update: There's no way to underline in Gmail chat. Some say holding z, doesn't work.

Firefox Easter Egg[s]
Some Easter eggs from Mozilla Firefox:
On the URL type about:mozilla and some weird story will appear. I don't know about the origin of this but you should give it a try.
On the URL type about:robots this should work on Firefox 3. Again, this is a really random easter egg.
Enjoy!

How to fix show hidden files and folders option
A while ago I found out that the 'Show Hidden Files and Folders' option was not working properly on my computer. I did some Googling and found out that is caused by a spyware/adware/malware (whatever) that messes up the Windows Registry from updating properly, thus disabling the option to 'Show Hidden Files and Folders'. The check box (radio button) works, but as soon as you close the Folder Options Window, the option is disabled again. Anyway, here are some ways to re-enable the option:
Successfully deploy a ghost Image to Many computers at the same time.
My Scenario: Need to format and install XP Pro on 33 Dell Dimension PC's, same model and components. Need to fix the "same computer name" problem because the computers will be joining the network.
Non-Explained solution:
Install XP on one computer, download all updates, drivers, install software needed in all computers, set up Sysprep, shut down, boot up Ghost and create image, Run GhostCast server, load up image, Boot Hirens Cd (or ghost network floppy) on the computers and Multicast the Image to All of the computers. Simple Huh?

How to fix access denied file delete error
Here is a trick that is used to delete files or folders that display this error when deleting:
Error Deleting File or Folder
Cannot delete [file]: Acess is denied.
Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.
Annoying huh, here it is:
- Open a command window. You can do this by going to Start -> Run and typing cmd. If you are using Vista, go to Start, then in the search field type cmd or command.
- Now that you have the command window open, you'll have to set a schedule. To do this, type:
at [time] /interactive cmd
and press enter. It should say Added a new job with job ID = 1. Where it says [time], you type in the current time in your computer plus one minute, be sure to set it in military time! (For example: If its 1:26, you would type:
at 1:27 /interactive cmd);
-I hope you understand military timing. - Now, you have to wait one minute or a few seconds until a new command window appears. When the new command window appears, fire up task manager (Ctrl + Alt + Del), and end the process explorer.exe. (Go to the Processes tab. Select explorer.exe from the list then click on End Task) Now your explorer window should disappear, leaving opened the newly opened command window.
- Now, on the window, type in explorer.exe, and your explorer windows should reappear with SYSTEM privileges; wait a few seconds while the SYSTEM user account is set up. Now you should be able to delete that annoying file of yours.
To get back into your own username, just login again.
