How to Remove Old Chrome Updates To Gain Space

Google Chrome receives an update on a regular basis but when it updates it doesn't remove the Old_Chrome.exe files therefore these files build up over time and each old version can take upto 80MB to 100MB of space which is quite a lot of space when you think about it and can be utilized in other ways. Removing these outdated chrome files is safe and easy to do, in fact there are a couple of way to do it

Option A.

1st option is to remove the Old_Chrome.exe files manually.

So, firstly you need to show all hidden files and folders and to do this go to Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder Options > View Tab and then locate 'Show hidden files, folders and drives' and select it then Hit Apply.

Then in the Address Bar at the top of the Explorer Window type in the following and then Hit Enter;

For Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username here\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application

For Windows Vista/Windows 7: C:\Users\username here\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application

Now I have already removed the Old.Chrome.exe file so you won't see it in my image above, but all you look for is just that 'Old_Chrome.exe' then simply delete it.
Quote :Do not Delete anything other than Old_Chrome.exe

Option B.

Remove the Old_Chrome.exe files with the help of an application called OldChromeRemover

When you run OldChromeRemover Run as Administrator, you do not need to install this small application as it is portable based. You will see as I mentioned before I had already removed my Old_Chrome.exe files so it won't show up here either. But if you have Old_Chrome.exe files it will show you the full path and of how many outdated files that you have. You then type in Y and Hit Enter to Remove them completely and safely.

How to make GIF image from YouTube Video

Making a GIF usually requires some knowledge of Photoshop or going through the hassle of using some web app that ends up putting an ugly watermark on your GIF.

However there is an awesome tool that allows you to quickly make a GIF from nearly any YouTube video. The reason I say nearly, is because music videos and other similar copyrighted videos won’t work.

The way to do is just to put ‘gif’ right at the beginning of the URL. Usually a YouTube URL looks like ‘youtube.com/watch?v=_6ZN_fRaULs′, you simply put gif at the beginning to get this ‘gifyoutube.com/watch?v=_6ZN_fRaULs′.

You can then choose which part of the video you want to make a GIF of and for how long. It’s a neat little tool that makes it much easier to create and share your own GIFs.

How To Detect On But Invisible (Offline) To Chat Friends On Facebook?

Facebook being the best social networking website is on the one side a place to engage and chat with friends, professionals and relatives while on the other side, it is great place to do business too. It offers various features that can’t be found on any other social networks yet. One of the great feature is to go invisible to Facebook chat. The feature lets you hide yourself from being online for other Facebook friends and groups. So, as your Facebook friends will not found you offline so they will not come for chat to disturb you when you are doing some important task on Facebook.

However many a times, when we have a several need to chat to a friend and find him offline at the obvious time, we just want to confirm if the buddy is actually offline or just went invisible to chat with the same Facebook chat feature, so that if he is currently on, we can chat with him.

Though there is not any feature provided by Facebook for that can do this trick, here I am sharing you three workarounds that will help you to know which of your Facebook friends are invisible to chat.

Trick #1

Not very powerful but the simplest trick to find any invisible friend is that to keep eye on activity happening from his/her Facebook account. Ping him by sending message. If the message shows seen by read receipt with date/timestamp, the person is online. Might he is posting status on his timeline, Facebook groups, might he is comments on anyone’s photo/status, might he likes a photo tagged to him. These signals can help you to figure out if the buddy is invisible to chat or totally not available on Facebook. Moreoever, if he is the only owner of a Facebook page and if the page shows any updates, you can be pretty sure that the Facebook guy is on but offline to chat.

Trick #2

Using Facebook Game App
You need a game application for this, like Texas Hold€m Poker application. If s/he accessed it even once, it can show who is playing and who are online but not playing. Invite them and see for yourself.

Trick #3

The Best Way

There are some apps available on Facebook that will let you to figure out the exact number of your Facebook friends who are available on Facebook (offline as well as online). All you need to do is just authorize those apps for your Facebook account. Below are some of those apps:

These all Facebook Chat Invisible Status Detectors will show you list of all of your Facebook friends that are available on Facebook. You need to cross-check the listed Facebook friends with those friends which Facebook chatbox is showing your online to figure out who are invisible to chat for you.

How to Remove unwanted Section of a Video

Hi, Guys today I'm gonna teach you how to cut or remove unwanted section of a Video. Well first of all we'll see why we need to remove any section of a Video. In movies you see there are some Offensive and Violence scenes which we cant watch with our family and for this region we miss some good movies for some 2-3 minute adult scene. How good it will, if we can remove these scene.Yes we can remove any section of a video easily without any prior knowledge of Audio-Video encoding. We can use the pre-installed software Movie Maker on your Windows PC. All we have to do is just open the video file from Windows Movie Maker and cut unwanted sections of the video and save the video. But, Windows Movie Maker support only three videos format (.asf, .avi, .wmv).

If your video is not of these file formats then you first need to convert them from any good video converters and then proceed to cropping there sections from Windows Movie Maker. It has been found that converting videos decreases quality. Also, Windows Movie Maker takes too much time to load a video in timeline.

Today We will discuss about Laptop tracking software, You guys know that there a lot of applications for Tracking any Lost Mobile phone, But tracking any lost Laptop is a bit difficult task. A smartphone will probably be connected to a data network and be in standby mode, so it can communicate its location back to you. However, if a laptop is powered off or just not connected to Wi-Fi, it won’t be able to report back to you. But for safety purpose we should use any good tracking software. A tracking service will offer some additional protection should you ever lose your laptop, but it will be harder to locate a lost laptop than is to locate a lost smartphone.

Do you know Apple offers a “Find My Mac” service to track a lost or stolen stolen Mac computer and also "Find my iPhone" application for tracking any iPhone . However, Microsoft doesn’t provide an equivalent service for Windows PCs — not even for tablets running Windows 8.

If you’re using Windows and want the ability to track your laptop should it ever become lost or stolen, you’ll need to install some third-party software. There are many paid services that offer this feature, but there are also good free options.All these tracking appliction are works in same manner means You have install a piece of software on your device and set up an account with the service. If you ever lose your device, you go to the service’s website, log into your account, and you can view the device’s location and control it remotely.

Installing Prey

Prey offers tracking software for Windows, Mac, and even Linux PCs. Prey also offers tracking apps for Android and iOS, so you could use this one service to track all of your devices. This service has paid pro plans, but the basic tracking service is completely free. The free service allows you to have three devices linked to your account and store up to ten location reports per device.

After installing Prey, you’ll be prompted to create a new user account or enter your current user account details.

Once you’ve logged in, Prey will immediately be up and running. Prey runs as a Windows service by default. If you want to configure it, you can open the Configure Prey shortcut in the Prey folder in your Start menu’s programs group.

To have Prey check in more frequently so you’ll receive reports more quickly if you ever lose your laptop, select Options for Execution, and modify the Frequency of reports and actions setting.

Tracking Your Lost Laptop

You can now visit the Prey project’s website and log in with the same account details you entered on your computer. You’ll see your computer and any other linked devices.

If you lose your laptop, you’ll need to click its name on your Prey control panel and click on MARK DEVICE MISSING. Prey only tracks your device when it’s missing, so it isn’t constantly tracking your laptop’s location.

You can also have Prey perform specific actions, such as setting off an alarm — this is useful if you misplace the laptop nearby. Of course, it’s not as reliable as sending an alarm to a phone, because the laptop must be powered on and connected to the Internet to receive this message and begin the alarm.

Once you’ve set your laptop to missing, its status will become “Tracked, waiting for report.” When the Prey software on your laptop checks in with the Prey server, it will receive a message that it has been marked as lost and generate a report. You’ll only receive an alert if the laptop is powered on, connected to the Internet, and the Prey software is still installed.

Once a report arrives, you’ll see it on the Reports tab. The report includes the information you selected, such as the laptop’s geographic location, its network status and IP address, and a screenshot of the computer’s desktop and webcam capture of its user. This information may help you get the laptop back, or may be helpful evidence when you report the laptop as stolen.

LockItTight, also provides the same features, and this ia also free. While Absolute Software’s LoJack for Laptops is a paid service, it’s worth a mention because it has the advantage of being integrated into many laptop’s BIOSes, which makes it more powerful and difficult to remove.
