Did you play Chess Titans, Mahjong Titans,InkBall, Minesweeper,Purble Place, FreeCell, Hearts, Solitaire, Spider Solitaire ? Playing these games is one the best way to time pass. Whenever I am free I play Hearts.
On my desktop I use Windows7 Ultimate where I can play those games. But in my Laptop I use Windows Vista Business ( I bought my laptop in 2008 :-( ). There is no game option. And a few days ago I installed Windows 8 Pro but there is the same problem. No game option. On my laptop I used a trick to play those games. And also  in some Edition of Windows like Windows 7 Business and in some editions of Windows 8 there is no option for games in the Start Menu ( actually in Windows 8, there is no start menu button :-p ).
W T F ? I really like those games.
So what is the solution? With that same trick I was able to play those games in windows 8.
Now I am going to tell you the trick " How to activate default games in Windows Vista/7/8 "
Actually these games are not removed in those editions of Windows OS. Microsoft hides this feature for some reasons ( only Microsoft can explain the reasons :-D ). But they did not remove these games fully.
This trick turns on the hidden windows features. For this trick no need of any software.
Step 1 :

• First go to your Control Panel.
• Click on the " Programs ".
  

Step 2 :

• Then go to " Turn windows features on or off "

Step 3 :

•  Now a new window will appear like this..
 
• Tick on the box " Games "
• And click now OK

Just wait for some time and the default games will appear in the Start Menu. Now enjoy ... \m/

Hope you all saw many Si-Fi movies. In those movies you must see that the computer welcomes its user when they turn on the computer.
How it will be if your computer welcomes you after start up?
Today I am going to tell you how to set up your computer which will welcome you with its voice after every start up without using any software. Just with the help of Notepad, we will make the whole process.
Step 1 :(Open Notepad)

First of all you need to open notepad.To open Notepad follow the steps :
Start > All Programs > Accessories > Notepad

Step 2 : (Writing code and saving the file)

Now in Notepad write the below code-

Dim speak,speech
speaks="welcome to your PC,Mr.Yourname"
set speech=Createobject("sapi.spvoice")
speech.Speak speaks

Replace  Welcome to your Computer, Mr. YOURNAME with your own.
And now you have to save it in vbs format.
File > Save as > 

• In the File name box write Welcome. vbs
• In the Save as type select All Files (*. *)

Now click on Save.
 Step 3 : (Adding in startup programs)
To launch the program after every start up you have to add the file in the startup program list.

• So first of all Copy the Welcome .vbs file.
• And paste the file in the directory below -
  C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup ( For all windows xp/vista/7/8 )
  C:\Users\{user name}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup ( For vista/7/8 )
  

1. Dos/cmd Method
2. Software method

Method 1 :
( Make Pendrive/ USB Stick bootable by Command Prompt )

Without any software using command prompt you can make bootable pendrive very easily.Just follow these below steps-
Step 1 :
First of all format your Pendrive/USB stick in NTFS format.
If you are using Windows Vista/7/8 then format the pendrive just in NTFS format not in FAT32.
Or you can use Command prompt to format your pendrive in NTFS format.

• Open command prompt (Start >All Programs >Accessories > Command Prompt)
•  Write command :
  convert H:/fs:ntfs ↵   [ H:=Pendrive's letter ]
• After sometime pendrive will be formatted in NTFS format.

 Step 2 :
 Now insert the CD/DVD into your DVD drive.
Step 3 :
Now go to command prompt and Run it as Administrator
(Start >All Programs >Accessories > Command Prompt [Right click >Run as Administrator])
Step 4 :
 Write command :
       F:       ↵   [ F:= in this drive you inserted windows dvd/cd,change it as your computer shows ]
       cd F:\boot    ↵ 
       bootsect /nt60 H:    ↵ [ H:=Pendrive's letter ]
Step 5 :
You are almost done...
Now copy the whole DVD/CD and paste in the Pendrive/USB Stick.
 Now you can setup windows from your pendrive.No need of DVD/CD drive.
I have tried many softwares to make a USB stick bootable and these cannot satisfy me. After long time I got a software, by which you can make bootable pen drive easily. This software size is only 700 KB.
