How To Lighting-Fast StartUp IE

Isn't it annoying when you want to go to a new website, or any other site but your homepage, and you have to wait for your 'home' to load? This tweak tells Internet Explorer to simply 'run', without loading any webpages. (If you use a 'blank' page, that is still a page, and slows access. Notice the 'about:blank' in the address bar. The blank html page must still be loaded..). To load IE with 'nothing' [nothing is different than blank]:

1. Right-click on any shortcut you have to IE
[You should create a shortcut out of your desktop IE icon, and delete the original icon]

2. Click Properties
3. Add ' -nohome' [with a space before the dash] after the end quotes in the Target field.
4. Click OK

Fire up IE from your modified shortcut, and be amazed by how fast you are able to use IE!

How To Speed Up Internet Explorer

Edit your link to start Internet Explorer to have -nohome after it.
For Example: "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" -nohome

This will load internet explorer very fast because it does not load a webpage while it is loading. If you want to go to your homepage after it is loaded, just click on the home button.

Google search has been a blessing for developers, ummm not only devlopers, bloggers, surfers and i guess everyone who is using the immense power of internet. They are the best in the business with their superb algorithms. Google search has some hidden easter eggs through which one can utilise the power of Google in a fun rather tricky way.
So here we go with a bunch of amazing tricks:

EBooks,EMusic,EMovies with Google:
Do you wanna download any pdf file, word document or mp3 file? Google can be the first place to look forward to, isn’t it? You must be wondering what could be the trick in that, well an enormous amount of free downloadable files can be easily accessed at Open Web Directories. Its like turning Google into Napster of 2000, isn’t it VOW !!

So here is the tricky url syntax:

-inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:”index of” +”last modified” +”parent directory” +description +size +(your choice) “name”

“your choice” can be either of the following file types:
-> wma|mp3 for Music
-> pdf|doc for Ebooks
-> mpg|wmv for Videos

and “name” can be any specific music file, movie or book, you are looking for.

For example:

-inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:”index of” +”last modified” +”parent directory” +description +size +(wma|mp3) “Shakira”

This is a Google search string for searching open web directories containing downloadable Shakira music files.

Ofcourse, you can always bookmark the search result for future use. Don’t worry, just enjoy !!

Lots of free downloadable stuff with Google:
Haven’t you fed up with searching for free wallpapers, stock images or social sites and getting nothing out of the search results??? Have your ever thought, why this happen when you have made right search queries, The only possible answer to this can be the most popular and most likable word “free”, it attracts spams. Anyways, don’t be upset, we do have a trick for that also. All you have to do is to direct Google to numerous available social media sites which have an active community of users who have already reviewed and ranked various “free” items that may interst you.

So here are some tricky queries:
-> site:del.icio.us free “stock images”
-> site:netscape.com free “ringtones”
-> site:digg.com free “desktop wallpaper”
-> site:reddit.com free “wordpress templates”
-> site:stumbleupon.com free icons

Have fun with your favourite free stuff!!

Free Anonymous Web Proxies with Google:
All you have to do is look through the search results returned by the queries below, find a proxy that works, and enter in the URL of the site you want to browse anonymously.

Use the following query and enjoy:

-> inurl:”nph-proxy.cgi” “start using cgiproxy”
-> inurl:”nph-proxy.cgi” “Start browsing through this CGI-based proxy”

Search only Faces with Google Image Search:
You can use this trick on Google Image search to filter the search results so that they include only images of people. This search can be performed just by appending the string &imgtype=face at the end of the URL address after you perform a standard Google Image search.
