INCASE OF XP:

Wondering how do get your installed windows XP key back since you have lost the key and needed again to format the computer or else. Here is the better solution.

Sometimes we just install the operating systems and forget to save our keys as it is needed for the next time when we reinstall our windows XP whether at the formatting time or for any other other purpose.So don’t bother buying the new one follow these simple steps:

Go to your main system drive(mostly we have c:)
Go to the windows folder
Search the folder named i386
Now search the txt file named unattend.
There you can see your key at the bottom.

OR

You can also check your key from the registry.

Type regedit on run.

Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

The number is listed under ProductId

Note: Inside this unattend txt file there are number of statements written so you need to scroll it down and search for the key.And you can only use your windows key for limited number of times(I believe three times).These steps doesn’t works in the newer version of the windows OS.

INCASE OF THE NEWER VERSION OF THE WINDOWS:

Unlike these steps in the windows XP you cannot follow these steps to find the encrypted product keys for the newer version of the windows operating system.

You need an extra third party tool to retrieve your key back.In this case Magic Jelly Key Finder will work for you and to download the product click here.

Try downloading the newer version so that it helps you to find windows 7 keys.

Download the zip file run the file and you can get the keys as below.

WINDOWS 7::::GOD MODE!!!!!!!!

Diwas Bhattarai — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 23:45:59 GMT

Windows 7’s so called GodMode is actually a shortcut to accessing the operating system’s various control setting.

This feature lets users access all of the operating system’s control panels from within a single folder.

CAUTION: IT CAN CAUSE 64 BIT OPERATING SYSTEMS TO CRASH.

To enter to the godmode of the operating system you need to create the new folder and rename it with:

GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

After it is done the icon of the folder changes to the icon that resembles the control panel.

And by double clicking it this is how you get access to almost all of the options.

or view the conversation that you have made earlier

with your friend. Just go to the messenger and click on the chat log viewer.

Messenger Skinning

Messenger skin completely changes the view of your

messenger. For skin you first need to download the skin

from the link above.Why not try something new????

An All New Interface: Although the first thing you'll notice is the whole new look of the Messenger Plus! windows, more importantly each of them has had its layout revised, with hundreds of adjustments designed to make you find things more easily!

Conversations with better organization and more fun with messengerplus!live!!

Tabbed Chats

Use a tabbed web browser? Why not use the same thing for your conversations?

All your chat windows can now be grouped into a better single one.

Different positions, different options, this feature is yours to customize.

Colors, formatting and commands

Messenger Plus! gives you the possibility to choose any color you want for your messages'

text and background. Special formatting such as bold, italic, underlined and stroke-out can

also be added. In addition, almost every aspect of Messenger can be controlled via text

shortcuts called commands, much like the ones used in traditional IRC chat rooms.

Custom Sounds

The Custom Emotion Sounds feature allows users to send their own pre-recorded sounds during a conversation.

Sounds are played instantly on both ends and are transferred automatically

and transparently when needed.

Quick Texts

Tired of always typing the same thing? Meet quick texts: customizable messages that can be sent with a

simple shortcut or typed command. Automatic text replacement can be used for word replacement or filter.

“IS THIS ALL WE GET?????”

No as already stated “unlimited features” , it has lots of features for us. We can also personalize and manage accounts by following features.

more than one Messenger account at the same time. No need to patch any file or use other Messenger

Messenger Lock

Be it for security/privacy in shared computer environments or for avoiding

your boss (which would be wrong... ;-), this feature lets you lock Messenger

with a simple keyboard shortcut and hide it in the system tray with an

inconspicuous icon. Messenger can then be password protected and

messages can automatically be sent to your contacts to inform them

of a lock or unlock.

HTML Chat Logging

Messenger Plus! Live can keep logs of all your conversations in a much more flexible way than Messenger can. Actually, Plus! let you do that for years before Microsoft added it as a standard, far from perfect, feature. How Plus! compares to that?...

HTML Logs: beautiful styling, color, and the flexibility of files you can take anywhere.
Emoticons and Winks: everything is logged, even custom emoticons are kept and winks shown as thumbnails.
Log Viewer: shows you all your logs sorted by contact and date within Messenger Plus!. It also searches your archives for old messages in seconds.
Skinnable logs: if you get tired of the default style of the logs and know about CSS, just drop a custom.css file in your logs folder to change their look!

Event Viewer and Logging

Contact sign-ins, sign-outs, status changes, display name and personal

messages changes... everything can be viewed instantly and archived in

XML files for future look-up.The Event Viewer can be used to find if a certain

contact signed in earlier, analyze his status changing behavior, or even his musical taste!

Contact List Clean-up

Easily view statistics about all your contacts

(last sign-in, last time you had a conversation, are you still in their list, etc.) and

clean your contact list by deleting old and repeated contacts.

MICROSOFT’S SEARCH ENGINE::::”BING”

Diwas Bhattarai — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 15:20:53 GMT

Bing is the search engine of the Microsoft corporation.Bing is a search engine that finds and organizes the answers you need so you can make faster, more informed decisions.

Now you may think what a search engine is????

As the name clarifies it is the live domain for searching the article, themes, images, documents and all those queries of yours in the internet.

What does the page look like?

the background image may differ from time to time…..

Is Bing A Google-killer?

If you think bing to be a google killer then please reset your expectation.

Let’s just get it out of the way: no, Bing is not a “Google Killer.” It’s also safe to say that Microsoft doesn’t see it that way either. My understanding of what Microsoft believes it has in Bing is a much more competitive product than Live Search. I entirely agree.

USER FRIENDLY BING.

As we all must have been a user of the Google we must have faced problem of jumping here and there in the links and the pages as all the links seems imitating and we are not sure for the decision too. But in case of bing it gives us a good support by its friendly look.Because of the good presentation in the web page user seems to feel easy to interact in the bing.

this is the format you get in the bing.

The lots of option is carried by only one page so that the search is efficient and less time consuming.

What’s good about bing???

Compared to the other major search engines the most important part of Microsoft Bing is the way it parses(to examine closely or subject to detailed analysis, especially by breaking up into components) and displays search results, technology media note.
Whereas Google emphasizes a stark, quick-loading design and a list of highly relevant search results, Bing's search results are organized into Search Categories.
For example Bing will display Search Categories; "Web, Maps, Images, and Health".
Microsoft Bing creates Search Categories dynamically in response to the search query. Microsoft Bing also brings an edge from Microsoft's new science driven technology thinking strategy.

Finally its an incomplete discussion for the bing’s features.
