La Liga

Real Madrid v Real Mallorca - live on star sports at 01 25 am
Real Madrid are set to end their 4 yr title drought by winning d last match of this seaason. Surely this has been one of d best seasons in liga history. Two of d biggest stars of galactico period Beckham n Carlos wil look to leave Madrid by winning d league. Mallorca have been Madrid's bogey team. They hav been causing big problems to Madrid's defense in last few yrs. But Real Madrid hav won 19 of their 29 league titles at home. Robinho n Diarra hav been cleared by FIFA to play their last club match of this season. With Helguera suspended n Torres injured, Ramos is set to return to centre back with Salgado or cicinho as right back. Mallorca wil be without Ibagaza n Jankovic. Ruud needs jus one more goal to share d Europe's golden boot award. Although Mallorca hav been gud against Real Madrid, madrid are expected to win with some difficulty.
My Prediction: Real Madrid 3 - 1 Real Mallorca

La liga

Real Zaragoza v Real Madrid - live on star sports at 00 25
This is d most important match for both d teams as Zaragoza r fighting for UEFA cup place n Real Madrid r looking to win d liga for d 30th time. Real Madrid were in their best form winning 9 of their last 10 matches which included sevilla n valencia. Last weekend's internationals could hav interrupted their momentum but they wil surely go to win. A win can help them securing first place for one more week,whereas a draw can end their title hopes. The same situation happened 20 yrs back when Madrid won d league n Zaragoza failed t secure UEFA spot. In d last 10 yrs Madid hav lost only once at Zaragoza in d league. Beckham returned to Madrid with an injury but he is set to start. Zaragoza wil b without Diogo n sergio Fernandez is doubtful. Ruud wil b looking to increase his goal tally furthur. The way Madrid fight with a fire n d desire to be champions again wil give them an advantage.

Prediction: Zaragoza 2 - 3 Real Madrid

XP : Rename Recycle Bin

Seeing the name Recycle Bin has become boring .... 
Wanna change it  ?? Just follow these simple steps , u can put any name for it ....

( Warning : changing registry entries can cause computer crashes , but not the one below )


1. Click Start
2. Click Run
3. Type regedit and hit ENTER
4. In the registry editor go to the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\MUICache

5. Double click on the following value:
@C:\WINDOWS\system32\SHELL32.dll,-8964


6. Change the value to whatever name you want.
7. Click OK and close regedit.
8. Click on a blank area of the desktop and select "Refresh" from the context menu.
9. After the screen refreshes, you recycle bin will be renamed to whatever you wished!.

Adding 'copy to' and 'move to' options whenever u rightclick on a file or folder

Once done, you will be able to right click any file or folder and use the Browse for Folder
dialog to choose the location you want to move or copy your file or folder to, without
having to go to the destination path.

First we will add the copy and move options to the right click menu of all FILES.

Click Start>Run, type REGEDIT and click OK to open up the registry editor and
make your way to this key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

Right click the ContextMenuHandlers key and choose New>Key.
Name the new key "Copy To" (without the quotes).
Repeat the above and create another new key named "Move To".

You should now have two new subkeys under the ContextMenuHandlers key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Copy To
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Move To

Select the Copy To key and in the right hand pane, double click "Default"
Enter this clsid value as the value data:

{C2FBB630-2971-11d1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}

Next, select the Move To key and in the right hand pane set the default value to:

{C2FBB631-2971-11d1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}

This now takes care of the Copy and Move options for the right click context menu of all
your files. Now all that is left is to add the same options to the right click menu of all
your folders.

The procedure will be the same as for files but at a different key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

Right click ContextMenuHandlers and create a new key named "Copy To".
Right click it again and create another new key named "Move To".

left click on the right hand pane, add the same default values as you did for Files:

For Copy To:
{C2FBB630-2971-11d1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}

For the Move To:
{C2FBB631-2971-11d1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}

You are done.

Now when you right click on a file or folder, you should see two new options:
Copy to Folder and Move to Folder.

Pirates of Carribean 3 - Oabs xculsive review

Now ths review was sent to us to be published here by our true "supporter" Srivathsan - our honourable rep ...

The day we were all waitin finally came… The day of our last exam of this sem and the day we wanna see witty Jack rescued…. Though the former wasn’t that good,the latter was made possible easily, thanks to Manoj mali for booking tickets…
( Hope he does the same for Thalaivar’s Sivaji….)

Cuttin the crap-here is the review….
The third and supposed to be the final part,Pirates Of The Carribean-At The World’s End starts exactly where it left with Captain Barbossa(Geoffery Rush), Elizabeth(Keira Knightkey), Will Turner(Orlando Bloom) and the crew of Black Pearl negotiating with Feo Sueng(an under-estimated role for Chow Yun Fat) for the map to Davy Jones’ locker.Lord Beckett is still high on bringing down every pirate in the East India Company’s territory,as the “song” is sung--a call for the final stand against their enemies. Just then we see our hero Jack,sorry “Captain” Jack Sparrow(a character immortalized by Johnny Depp) sniffing around for a piece of groundnut(the real one). Just when the crew arrive to rescue the Jack with their ship wrecked, Jack commandeers Black Pearl makin the “rescuers” ask for help,rather than the other way round.

Later comes a series of events which forces Davy Jones to join hands with the E.I.Co fighting against all nine Pirate Lords.The remaining is how this alliance brings the end of the former team….I recommend to see the movie for yourself and hence not gonna explain the whole story here…. See n enjoy.!

As for a drawback is considered, the only one is the series of twists,turns and deals. At one point of time there are more deals and exchanges than the number of characters. This got me into to gitty feelin that I saw our OS question paper read loud on the screen(literally slept for 10 min before first half). The climax is awesome with stunning special effects(reason for a hundreds of names in the Visual effects section in Credits).Music too is great by Hans Zimmer and so is the Cinematography.

This is just the fitting finish I was expecting. This was not bad like the 3rd parts of other trilogies like Godfather,Spiderman and Matrix. Jack Sparrow is still with great wit an kindles fun every time he appears on screen. I would be happy if what Johnny Depp said happens.”Captain Jack has become a phenomenon. We ve to make more stories for him. Why not go till Pirates 7,but with a good story”.

Finally this is a good movie for Pirate fans(except its not that good as the first).No loop holes for any character an pulling the right strings at the right time. Gore Verbinski has done a decent job and expect some totally different stuff from him. A nice movie for the summer and a good one to start the Holidays. Thats it. Savvy
