These two nifty macros enable you to delete the embedded hyperlinks that are generated when typing URLS or copying information from the web.
Ever copy and paste something from the Internet and then into Word only to get the hyperlinks embedded? You can removed them easily with the Macros below.
Word
Hit [ALT]+[F11] to open the Visual Basic Editor
Go to “Insert” > “Module” and in the pop-up window copy:
Sub RemoveHyperlinks()
Dim oField As Field
For Each oField In ActiveDocument.Fields
If oField.Type = wdFieldHyperlink Then
oField.Unlink
End If
Next
Set oField = Nothing
End Sub
Then click “File” > Close and return to Microsoft Word
You can now run the Macro in Word by going to:
Tools > Macro > Macro and then Run “RemoveAllHyperlinks” and you are done...!!!

E-mail Tracking
If you ever wondered whether mails you sent ever gets read or just sent to trash, you can use a mail tracking service like MailTracking.com which allows email tracking.
They send you a email notification whenever the recipient reads your email. Notification includes many details including following…
* Date and time opened
* Location of recipient (per their ISP city /town)
* How long the email was read for
* How many times your email was opened
* If your email was forwarded, or opened on a different computer
Now how to use this service in simplest way…
Create an account with them first.
Then next time, whenever you send mail to abc@xyz.com just add .mailtracking.com to the email address. So in this case email address will become abc@xyz.com.mailtracking.com
Now whenever abc@xyz.com read your email, you will receive notification mail from mailtracking.comHow it works…
* Basically the change in email address will route email through mailtracking.com' server.
* They add a small (around 3×3 pixel) white image which is almost invisible to human eyes in email body. The image will be hosted on mailtracking servers and a unique image is kept for each email message.
* So when someone opens email that image also get downloaded. Now mailtracking server logs the browser request for image (note that the request goes in background) and thus can mail you details which mentioned above.
Note:MailTracking.com is not free. You can start with free account as I did. You get 25 credits(1 credit = 1 email) in free account.

View Contents of Rar File before Download
Most of the files we download from the Internet are in Zip or Rar format. We wouldn’t like if we download an archive to find that the file we are looking for is not there. And it is also such a waste of Bandwidth and time to download a whole archive just for a single file. Archview is a Firefox addon that lets you preview the contents of an Archive before downloading. And using it you can even download a single file from the archive.
Currently it supports only RAR, ZIP and ISO format but that should be enough as they are the 2 most popular and common formats being used today. Archview adds itself to the stats bar and becomes active when the user clicks on a zip or rar link. It displays the contents almost instantly and presents the files of the archive in an XML or HTML interface. And what’s more, it even lets you download individual files for an archive, now no need to download a 10 MB archive for a file of 100 Kb that is inside.
The future version will also add support for the 7z format. It supports Firefox 2 and Firefox 3. It is definitely a great add on that can save you a lot of bandwidth.

Increase the Maximum Recording Time
In the Sound Recorder utility the maximum time of recording is 1 minute. You can increase it to any number of minutes of your choice by applying this trick. First make sure that your microphone is muted so it will not pick up sound. Click Record, and then let Sound Recorder run for 60 seconds. This will create a blank wave file of length 1 minute.
After 60 seconds,
click Save As on the File menu, and name the file loops.wav
Click Insert File on the Edit menu, and then insert the loops.wav file. This increases the maximum recording time by 60 seconds. You can repeat this step once for each additional minute of recording time that you want to add. For example, for a 10-minute recording time,insert the loops.wav file 10 times.
After 60 seconds,
click Save As on the File menu, and name the file loops.wav
Click Insert File on the Edit menu, and then insert the loops.wav file. This increases the maximum recording time by 60 seconds. You can repeat this step once for each additional minute of recording time that you want to add. For example, for a 10-minute recording time,insert the loops.wav file 10 times.

Torrents... a complete guide
*****************************************
Bits,Torrents,Seeds,Port Forwarding Info.
Some useful bit of information which I thought of sharing.Not many might know of torrents,downloading and stuff especially port forwarding.
BitTorrent is just a way of sharing/downloading files. Sometimes, you just download files from a server (one-way) through your browser. You also have download managers to manage this e.g. DAP (Download Accelerator Plus), IDM (Internet Download Manager), FDM (Free Download Manager)
Then there's P2P = Peer-to-Peer where you don't depend on a central server, but you share the load among fellow downloaders (peers). You download the file from people who already have the file and after it is done, you share the file for whoever may be looking for it. KaZaa, Sharaaza, eDonkey are some clients which help you there.
Now, BitTorrent can be considered as an advanced P2P.
Assume you want to download a legal, shareable copy of a movie of size 1.36 GB and later you would like to share it with your friends.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Step-1: You first visit a site which maintains a list of .torrent files. There are plenty of sites which do that and you can find .torrent files even through Google. But, wait a minute, let me tell you what this file is like. It is a very small file, around 20 KB or so in size. It contains name, file-list of the movie you are planning to download and the location of the tracker server. This tracker server helps to keeps track of IPs which have the complete file and which IPs are downloading this file.
Step-2: So now, you have downloaded this small .torrent file (perhaps with a download manager). You need to find a Torrent client now - the software which should manage your download. I use uTorrent, which is very light in file size and should be fine for basic usage. There are many more like Azureus, BitComet etc.
Step-3: We have added the torrent file into the torrent client. Now, here's where the fun part begins - the client gets statistical information from the tracker and displays it to you e.g. In this case, 1 person has the complete file (and is called a seeder), while you are the one who requires the file (and you are called the leecher). In BitTorrent, each file is actually 'n' number of pieces. Assuming the .torrent file specifies 1 MB for each piece, we need to download 1400 pieces. The client usually displays IPs of your seeds and leechers/peers and info about how much data is being passed from them to you or vice versa.
Step-4: The first piece (e.g. Piece #440, which is 1MB in size) has been received by your torrent client now. Then a customs check-up takes place to see if the data is as expected. SHA-1 hash keys are used for this and the .torrent file has the list of hashes for every single piece. If the hash of the downloaded piece does not match with the one in the .torrent file, it is dropped and redownloaded.
Step-5: A few hours have passed now. We have received around 200 pieces now (not in any particular order - actually, BitTorrent picks pieces based on its availability - rarest is downloaded first). At this time, Leecher-2 adds the same .torrent file to his torrent client. Time for your client to start uploading pieces now. The tracker tells the new client that there is 1 seed and 1 peer using this .torrent file already. The new client will now be receiving pieces from both you (Leecher-1) and Seeder-1.
Step-6: If Seeder-1 takes a break now, Leecher-2 and you can still keep transferring pieces as you will both have pieces the other person didn't have after the transfers with Seeder-1. You should know that BitTorrent works on a tit-for-tat policy. Give a piece-take a piece. :-)
Step-7: Download completed. You are now promoted to Seeder-2. You can now keep uploading to Leecher-1 and any other leechers who would come in future
