Blue screen of death- funny prank

Have u seen BSOD(Blue screen of death) this is a nightmare to all windows users.Whenever an incompatible hardware or software is installed ,sometimes due to driver conflicts our computer shows BSOD  and immediately crashes to protect our system, then system will dump all of its memory to a file on disk. Data in memory would then be lost but in some circumstances it could be retrievable from the dump file.To know more about BSOD click this link Wikipedia .


You can play a prank on your friends computer by showing the BSOD to appear on his computer using the keyboard.All you have to do is tweak the registry settings .

For USB keyboard:-
Open regedit navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\kbdhid\Parameters 


For ps/2 keyboard:-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\i8042prt\Parameters




Now right-click on the right-hand pane and add a new DWORD key name it  CrashOnCtrlScroll, giving it a value of 1.Now restart the computer for the changes to take effect.Now you can invoke the blue dragon by holding down Right CTRL and press scroll lock twice.See your friends emotions...

Prevent windows from asking password on wakeup from sleep

To protect our sytem we usually setup with a password this is a good measure.Usually if we have little work to attend then we set the system to sleep,but system prompting for password everytime it wakes up from sleep is irritating.To disable this feature tyep in Powercfg.cpl  in run  which inturn invokes the powermanagement settings.Uncheck the box Prompt for password when computer resumes from standby.


For Windows 7 users:-
Type powercfg.cpl or dive into power options in control panel .Now  click on Require a password on wakeup


Now click on change settings that are currently unavailable

finally click on  the activated Don't require password radio button.

Send executable files through gmail

Have u ever tried to send a executable file via gmail attachment.I bet u cannot send the Exe as a attachment.To overcome this iam going to tell u three tricks.
As we know that we cannot send .exe files via google .
1)Now using Winrar or Winzip softwares zip the  file and send via attachment.
2) To do this trick we require Microsoft word.Open word document,now drag the .exe file into the document.The .exe file will be embedded as object.Now send the saved .Doc file as attachment.
The above two methods best worked for me.
3)Just change the extension of the file and send it.But it is risky.
