Do you have a hard drive in your computer you’d like hidden from casual users of your computer? NoDrives Manager will help you do just that. This utility basically hides the chosen hard drive’s entry from Windows Explorer (My Computer, sidebar,address bar, etc) so non-invasive users won’t know it exists.
The drive will remail technicaly accessable through the “Run” section or the command prompt- but chances are people using your computer aren’t looking to get technical and nosey. In other words, this is great for hiding that porn stash of yours- enjoy.

Do you have a corrupted sector on your hard drive? Maybe your CD or DVD is scratched beyond being readable…
Try recovering the data using Copy Cat- it is a freeware application that reads data byte-by-byte and skips over the unreadable bytes. Let us know how it goes in the comments section below- good luck!

Memory Cleaner is something special when compared to other Memory (RAM) cleaners on the net. What makes it so cool is that it uses the native functionality built into Windows to clean the system memory, thus making it more safe, and effective.
It allows users to clear the system cache, and also trim processes’. This is safe, and will not harm your computer in any way.

I know I haven’t banged out a post in a while, but I like any other person just got a bit busy… But I’m back!
Here is a new gem I would like to share with you guys- it’s called XP Quick Fix Plus. It’s a single application which includes lots of little quick fixes for common XP issues such as restoring your Network Places icon, re-enabling your task manager, and much more.
It is free, and fits nicely into your flash drive.

For those of you who don’t want to update to firmware 3.1 for whatever reason, but want MMS- follow this guide.
iTunes wants you to update your iPhone to 3.1 before letting you update the carrier file to enable MMS. Many people are asking how to get the the latest carrier file without updating to 3.1. You don’t need to be jailbroken to do this.
Here’s how:
Get the latest version carrier file (.ippc) 5.5 to enable MMS HERE
On Windows it may rename the file to .zip to just rename it back to .ipcc
Make sure itunes is not running
Windows – open up a command shell and type in:
For 32-bit Windows
“C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe” /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1
hit enter
For 64-bit Windows
“C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe” /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1
hit enter
If you copy and paste the commands they won’t work. After you type the command and hit enter it shouldn’t give you any error or any indication it did anything.
Mac – open a terminal and type in..
defaults write com.apple.iTunes carrier-testing -bool TRUE
hit return
This should now allow you to update your iPhones carrier (.ipcc) file in itunes 9 by pressing and holding shift while clicking the update button (Windows) or Command-Update (Macintosh) in itunes. Choose the .ippc file you just downloaded and install it.
You will need to reboot the iPhone after you install.
You’re all set!

There’s a great tip posted over at macosxhints today for speeding up iPhoto ‘09. Many people have noticed the load time for iPhoto has increased considerably after upgrading to iLife ‘09, especially if they have lots of photos.
This is just a Terminal command that tidys up your photo database. Over time the iPhoto database becomes fragmented, with information scattered in various places around the database file amongst regions of empty space. The vacuum command cleans up the database by removing the unnecessary parts and reorganizing the file structure.
To vacuum your iPhoto library, start by making sure iPhoto isn’t open, and then open up Terminal (located in Applications/Utilities). Firstly, you have to point the Terminal to where your iPhoto Library is using the cd (change directory) command. By default, this should be:
cd "~/Pictures/iPhoto Library"
Paste the above line into the Terminal, then hit return. If your iPhoto Library isn’t in your Pictures folder you will have to adjust the command to your specific needs. Next, to perform the vacuum, use the following command:
for dbase in *.db; do sqlite3 $dbase "vacuum;"; done
As before, just paste this line in then hit return and you’re done.

The registry is Windows’ storage of vital program settings and instructions. When you uninstall programs through “Add or Remove Programs”- Windows leaves useless program files behind, deep in your registry. The registry is essential in allowing Windows to perform smoothly, so you need to keep it clean.
This is what Little Registry Cleaner excels at- it combs through the registry and removes left-behind clutter from uninstalled software.
Changes in your registry can be dangerous- so make sure to backup before making changes to it.
