About Run Commands


Well, First off nearly all of the Run Commands Correspond to a particular Control Panel Item or a Utility, Tool or Task that can be accessed through Windows. There are, however, tools and utilities that I bet you never knew you had that can be accessed through the Run feature. The main reason most people don't use the Run feature is because they don't know the Commands. So, to solve that problem, I decided to put together the following listing, which lists 99 Run Commands and what they correspond too...

Creating a desktop shortcut for locking your computer

If you use your computer in an area where others may have access to it, and there are things on your system you would



rather have kept confidential, locking your desktop when you leave the computer is an essential task. Here’s a recipe


for a desktop shortcut that will lock your computer in two easy clicks:


Right click on an empty area of the desktop


choose ‘new’ then 'shortcut'.


The create shortcut wizard will open.


in the first text box, type:


%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation

then give your shortcut an


appropriate name on the next page, and hit ‘finish.’


You will notice that the shortcut you created has a blank icon.


To select a more appropriate one, right click on the


shortcut and hit ‘properties.’ In the ’shortcut’ tab, click the ‘change icon’ button.


In the ‘look for icons in this file’ box


type:


%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll


then click ‘ok’ to see a range of


icons for your new shortcut.


Choose an appropriate icon.


Your desktop locking shortcut is now ready for use.


Test it out.

How To Add and Create Paypal Donate Button To My Site.

To be able to accept donation from your readers or visitors due to your outstanding contribution, you may want to insert a ‘Donation’ button onto your website. Donors can make donation via the button, some of the features are:
Accept donations made with credit cards, debit cards, and PayPal right away.
No monthly, set-up, or cancellation fees. Only low transaction fees.
Donors don’t need a PayPal account to make their donations.
Visit Paypal’s website to create a ‘Donation’ button. Gone as the good old days when creating a Paypal ‘Donate’ button requires some basic coding knowledge.
Based on my own past experience, a ‘Donate’ button is nothing more than an ornament, it does not generate much and occupies the precious space. It would be wiser to insert a tiny ads. Unless you have a pool of loyal readers, I strongly advice you against using this feature.
