How to: Download from a paypal site without paying
I know we have all seen them PayPal websites where they offer a E-Book or some kind of software. You read, read, and read then finally you get to the bottom only to find out you have to pay. Well their is a way around it. If you are willing to take the risk as this is stealing and highly illegial. You can now download from those sites without having to pay a damn penny :). You will learn how in this short tutorial.This is kind of old so they may have found a way to fix it by now, but it's worth trying. I tried a few times and couldn't get it. But just incase I was doing something wrong I posted it anyways.
- Step 1) Rightclick your mouse (ctrl+click) viewsource and open the source of the site in a texteditor
- Step 2) Search for the word "return"
- Step 3) Next to it you can find the url for the thank you page
- Step 4) Copy the url and paste it in your browser and you will see the download link
WARNING: This only works if once you would have downloaded the page it gave you access to the download link, wont work if they have to E-mail it. Lots of sites are watched now so you might want to use a proxy. If you get cought I am not responsible this is only here for informational reasons.
How to: Make Xp boot faster
First of all, this tweak only apply to those who only have one HDD on their primary IDE channel (nothing else on device 0 or 1) and a CD-ROM and/or DVD-ROM on the secondary IDE channel. Each time you boot Windows XP, there's an updated file called NTOSBOOT-*.pf who appears in your prefetch directory (%SystemRoot%Prefetch) and there's no need to erease any other files as the new prefetch option in XP really improves loading time of installed programs. We only want WindowsXP to boot faster and not decrease its performance. Thanks to Rod Cahoon (for the prefetch automation process...with a minor change of mine) and Zeb for the IDE Channel tweak as those two tricks, coupled together with a little modification, result in an EXTREMELY fast bootup:
- Step 1. Open notepad.exe, type "del c:windowsprefetch tosboot-*.* /q" (without the quotes) & save as "ntosboot.bat" in c
- Step 2. From the Start menu, select "Run..." & type "gpedit.msc".
- Step 3. Double click "Windows Settings" under "Computer Configuration" and double click again on "Shutdown" in the right window.
- Step 4. In the new window, click "add", "Browse", locate your "ntosboot.bat" file & click "Open".
- Step 5. Click "OK", "Apply" & "OK" once again to exit.
- Step 6. From the Start menu, select "Run..." & type "devmgmt.msc".
- Step 7. Double click on "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers"
- Step 8. Right click on "Primary IDE Channel" and select "Properties".
- Step 9. Select the "Advanced Settings" tab then on the device 0 or 1 that doesn't have 'device type' greyed out select 'none' instead of 'autodetect' & click "OK".
- Step 10. Right click on "Secondary IDE channel", select "Properties" and repeat step 9.
- Step 11. Reboot your computer.
WindowsXP should now boot REALLY fast. I have never tried this so IDK if it really works. Once again I thought it was worth uploading just incase it does work.
