Hide Files in Image Files !!!

Sometimes we are eager to hide some files on the system !!!
(I won't ask Why ???)

So, now i have got a trick to hide files in image files !!!

Here it is :

** You require WinRAR installed on your PC for this trick.
** First add your files to .rar and i.e. say files.rar
** Say you have a image as img.jpg
** Now, save files.rar and img.jpg in c:\ drive.
** Click start >> Run
** Type cmd
** Now in command prompt type cd..
** Again type cd..
** Type copy /b img.jpg + files.rar new.jpg

-------------- Please Note --------------

>> This command will concatenate the two files into the new file new.jpg
>> Don't type files.rar + img.jpg instead of img.jpg + files.rar.
>> Now, (size of new.jpg) = (size of img.jpg) + (size of files.rar) .

-------------------------------------------


*** Mission Accomplished !!! ***

Now, we have new.jpg consisting of both img.jpg and files.rar .

Accessing the files :

** Double click new.jpg and img.jpg can be viewed.

** Now, to access files.rar :
# Right click on new.jpg >> Select Open With >> Choose Program...
# Select WinRAR archiver.
# Now, simply Extract your files !

Enjoy... Please Comment if you liked my work !!!

Have a Video Wallpaper as Desktop Background

Windows Vista will have a feature called Dreamscene which will allow us to have a video as a desktop background . Dreamscene will only be available to the people using Windows Vista Ultimate but for people using Windows XP , there is also a way . And that is VLC player . VLC player has a built in feature that can allow you to have any video as a wallpaper . All you have to do is the following things

1) Open VLC and check whether Wallpaper mode is enabled

Goto Settings->preferences->video->output modules->Directx

Just select the advacned option box and you will get the following window as shown below , enable the wallpaper mode , now when you run your videos and right click on it , you will see a wallpaper option

2) Now to remove VLC from your taskbar go to

Settings->preferences->Interface->Main Interfaces->wxWidgets and uncheck the Taskbar option.

3)Now all we have to do is loop your videos , go to
Settings->preferences->playlists

and you will see the required option .
This will work on most of the versions but i recommend you to use the latest version of VLC .

I tried it on Windows Vista Ultimate but i got a black screen as a wallpaper which was probably due to some issues with Aero
