Just make a archive (say hide.rar) of the files you want to hide. Find a image file to hide it say show.jpg Open command prompt and type : copy /b show.jpg + hide.rar new.jpg Now new.jpg is you file. Open it in any image viewer (even Photoshop opens the new.jpg file correctly) and you can also upload it to imageshack or any other image hosts. Now get back the hidden files, open the image file in Winrar or say 7-zip and you see your hidden files. You can try with different image formats also. JPG, PNG works and I have tested on them.

Choose the free account 3. In the address bar, find and change "hmnewuser.aspx" to "newuser.aspx" 4. Locate and delete "&hm=1" from the address bar 5. Hit …

If you have ever tried to format a USB thumb drive or memory stick, you may have noticed that the only options you get are FAT and FAT32 file systems. This is the default behavior in Windows XP. However, with some slight tweaking of settings, you can actually format your removable storage devices in NTFS format, including external hard drives, etc. Of course, there is a reason why Windows defaults the formatting of removable storage to FAT and FAT32. There are actually a few advantages and disadvantages to formatting a USB drive in NTFS format, so we

However, YouTube recently launched a new option that encodes some videos to both standard and high-quality parameters. The difference between standard and high-quality video is striking. Not all uploaded videos get encoded into the high-quality format, but if you follow a few simp…

It seems that the 64bit software market is rather small, and I don't notice the incredible change in the computer industry that everyone was carrying on about when AMD introduced the 64bit chip. I think that I get lost when I look at the current AMD and Intel cpu offerings.First AMD has 64bit, then Intel brought 2core cpu. Then AMD looks to have a dual core …

Grab the Airbrush Soft Round 300 (we need a big, fuzzy brush). Set the opacity of the brush to 30% and the mode to Linear Dodge. We're going to pretend our light source is coming from the upper left (this is arbitrary).
