> How to Trace the Lost MOBILE PHONE(Only in INDIA)?

An IMEI number-The International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number is an international identity number used to uniquely identify a mobile phone. The 15-digit IMEI number is an electronic fingerprint transmitted every time a phone is used, which reveals the identity of the mobile handset.

How can I find out my IMEI number? IMEI numbers are independent of the phone number and are usually written underneath the battery or on the back of the handset. Mobile phone users can also check their 15 digit IMEI number by dialling *#06# on their mobile handset. Mobile phone owners should make a note of their IMEI number and keep the details in a safe place.
If u lost your mobile, send an e-mail to
cop@vsnl.net or call this Number(Chennai) - 04423452316 with the following info .

> How to extract SWF Flash animation from Office Excel?


The reason of embedding SWF animation file in Office document is probably that majority of users is running on Windows / MS Office, and MS Office can serve as a container to run or play the SWF file.
(If you received an un-embedded SWF file, you might able to open and play the SWF animation in web browser that installed with Shockwave Flash add-on)
While the SWF flash appears as an embedded file in Office Excel or Word, you might want to extract or retrieve the embedded SWF flash for your blog.

However, there is no intrinsic or built-in function to extract / retrieve embedded SWF Flash animation from Microsoft Office document files. This is definitely true, that you won’t able to find this wanted feature in Office 2007 as well!
So, how could you do that in case you’re really wanted to do so? OK, here we go:

A simple VBA program (a.k.a Visual Basic for Applications) can extract the embedded SWF Flash animation file in less than a minute or so.

The VBA / guide has been tested in Office 2003 Professional, and it should be working perfectly in any Office versions / editions too (e.g. the latest Office 2007), provided the Office system has installed the VBA components.
Open a new Microsoft Excel document,
Click the Tools menu, Marco, Visual Basic Editor. (or) You can also press the ALT+ F11 hotkey to bring up the VBA editor,
While in MS Visual Basic editor, click the View Code icon on the upper-left panel,





Copy the VBA program source code at below here and paste it onto the VBA source code editor,
Press F5 to execute the VBA source code, An Open File dialog box prompts you to select the Office Excel document that embed the SWF Flash animation file,A message box appears shortly after the Excel file is selected, with a message that says where the extracted SWF Flash animation file is saved in local hard disk!The extracted SWF Flash animation file ended with SWF file extension, and it can be open/play in a web browser with Shockwave Flash addon (e.g. Flash9e.ocx in IE7).The VBA source code used to extract or retrieve SWF Flash animation files that embedded in Microsoft Office Excel or Word:
Code:

Sub ExtractFlash()
Dim tmpFileName As String
Dim FileNumber As Integer
Dim myFileId As Long
Dim MyFileLen As Long
Dim myIndex As Long
Dim swfFileLen As Long
Dim i As Long
Dim swfArr() As Byte
Dim myArr() As Byte
tmpFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename("MS Office File (*.doc;*.xls), *.doc;*.xls", , "Open MS Office file")
If tmpFileName = "False" Then Exit Sub
myFileId = FreeFile
Open tmpFileName For Binary As #myFileId
MyFileLen = LOF(myFileId)
ReDim myArr(MyFileLen - 1)
Get myFileId, , myArr()
Close myFileId
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
i = 0
Do While i <>
If myArr(i) = &H46 Then
If myArr(i + 1) = &H57 And myArr(i + 2) = &H53 Then
swfFileLen = CLng(&H1000000) * myArr(i + 7) + CLng(&H10000) * myArr(i + 6) + CLng(&H100)* myArr(i + 5) + myArr(i + 4)
ReDim swfArr(swfFileLen - 1)
For myIndex = 0 To swfFileLen - 1
swfArr(myIndex) = myArr(i + myIndex)
Next myIndex
Exit Do
Else
i = i + 3
End If
Else
i = i + 1
End If
Loop
myFileId = FreeFile
tmpFileName = Left(tmpFileName, Len(tmpFileName) - 4) & ".swf"
Open tmpFileName For Binary As #myFileId
Put #myFileId, , swfArr
Close myFileId
MsgBox "Save the extracted SWF Flash as [ " & tmpFileName & " ]"
End Sub




> How to Check the DRIVES for errors?

I have no earthly idea why Microsoft continues to hide the Check Disk feature, but
you should use it often. I check all the drives on my PCs every week. Checking the
disk for errors ensures that no corruption has occurred because of power outages or
misbehaving programs that don’t load and save files how they should. If you don’t
check your drives often, a small problem can rapidly escalate into something far nastier,
and you could end up losing data.

To check a disk for errors, follow these steps.

Windows XP

1. Click the Start button and then click My Computer to display the drives
on your system.
2. Right-click the drive you want to check and then choose Properties from
the menu that appears.
3. Click the Tools tab.
4. Click the Check Now button and then select the Automatically Fix File
System Errors check box.
5. Click Start.
If you’re checking your boot drive, you’ll see a warning dialog appear that
tells you that Windows will have to check the drive the next time you
reboot. This makes sense because you’re currently using it.
6. Click Yes to confirm.
7. Restart your PC.

Note: Check Disk automatically does the deed.

Windows Vista

1. Click the Start button and then click My Computer.
2. Right-click the drive you want to check and then choose Properties from
the menu that appears.
3. Click the Tools tab.
4. Click the Check Now button and then select the Automatically Fix File
System Errors check box.
5. Click Start.
If a warning appears, you’ll have to reboot.
6. Click Schedule Disk Check to confirm.
7. Restart your PC and allow Check Disk to run.

How to Defragment the Hard Drive?

Over weeks and months of use, computers running any version of Windows XP and
Vista will invariably slow down significantly because of hard drive fragmentation.

First, a quick explanation about fragmentation:
When you delete a file from your hard drive, that area of your hard drive can then accept data from another file. If thefile to be saved is larger than this open area, however, Windows must split the fileinto fragments. When your computer needs to load a file, Windows automatically(and invisibly) reassembles these fragments back into the complete file. However,
the more fragmented the files are on your hard drive, the longer this step takes, and
the slower your PC becomes. When you defragment your hard drive (called a defrag), the program rearranges the data on your hard drive so that each file is contiguous (no longer divided up into individual fragments) — making it much easier and faster for Windows to read that file when you ask for it!


To defragment your hard drive, follow these simple steps:

Windows XP

1. Click the Start button, and then choose Programs➪Accessories➪
System Tools➪Disk Defragmenter.
2. From the list that appears, click the drive you want to defragment.
3. Click the Defragment button.
4. When the defragment is complete, click the Close button on the Disk
Defragmenter window to exit the program.

Windows Vista

1. Click the Start button, and then choose All Programs➪
Accessories➪System Tools➪Disk Defragmenter.
2. Click the Select Volumes button to choose which drive you want to
defragment.
3. Click the Defragment Now button and then click OK.
4. When the defragment is complete, click the Close button to exit the
program.
