How to recover unsaved word documents



How many times you accidently hit the close button without saving your important word documents??? That's disaster,right?

But don't you know that microsoft word does a backup of your docs every 10 minutes ( unless you change this options)

So,here is the solution:

Word 03: You can head to C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Microsoft\Word or C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Temp then change "Arrange icons by" to "Modified" and open the lastest files,you will get what you (think you have) lost. (you will need to change folder options to show hidden files and folders first)

In Word 07: It's easier if you are using word 07 because it will automatic recover your doc once you open it again.

Make sure that you will never face this situation again :P

Play utube without flash

  •  Firstly, download portable Firefox from portableapps’ website. Run the file and follow instructions on screen. Check if you can run the portable Firefox before proceeding to the next step.
  • Download Flash Player .xpi version from Macromedia => Link
  • Change the file extension from .xpi to .zip by renaming it as flashplayer-win.zip
  • Since you now have it as a .zip archive, extract the files in the archive to a folder.
  • Copy the files flashplayer.xpt and NPSWF32.dll to the plugin folder inside your Portable Firefox folder:
FirefoxPortable\App\Firefox\plugins

Run the now flash-embedded Portable Firefox. You can view flash file anywhere you want on Windows-based PC without having to install anything as long as you have the portable Firefox with you.
The method of embedding flash player above can also be applied to the standard version of Firefox.

Watch video while it still in download process

Hi guys,this is my first post on utip (my blog,of course,hehe).Today,I will show u guys a very cool trick to preview a short part (or long,it’s all depend on the downloaded datas of the file) of the video when it still in download process.Sorry for my bad English,I’m not a native speaker,hope that you can understand it.Well,I will devide this trick into 4 sections:

First,make sure you have all of these software installed on your computer ( you can find the download link at the bottom of this entry,they are FREE )

Utorrent,Dziobas Rar Player

I,Video is downloading by utorrent (or other prog that has the same function),video file was splitted by winRar:

First! Click on the file name and head to the files options below.Set “high priority” for the first and the last part.You can see the picture below.


Now,all you have to do is waiting until these 2 part are downloaded to the computer.Then,fire up the Dziobas Rar Player,choose fileàopen rar(rewind),and choose the first part (part 1).Now,You can see the beginning of the movie.hehe

II,Video is (still) downloading by utorrent BUT it wasn’t splitted (^_^!) (means that it’s a complete video with avi extension or so)
For this situation,there’s nothing you can do but wait.Hey,I don’t mean that you have to wait until it all downloaded to your PC :P .Just wait until the download-status bar reach about 20%.Then,lauch the Dziobas Rar Player to open the video file in the download folder,it WORKS!

III,Video is downloading by IDM BUT Splitted in to many files by Hjsplit (001,002…..)

It is easy to preview the first part the video that splitted by hjspit.i don’t know if u already know this trick.but let me show u how easy it is (again)

First,download the 001 file.then,delete the 001 extension (u can do it by rename the file)
Example: utip.avi.001àutip.avi
Now,u can view it by Dziobas Rar Player.

IV,Video is downloading by IDM but nothing splitted (the last one but the most common one)

IDM storred your video data in a temp folder before it rebuild the file.So,the solution here is that u head to that temp folder and open the first part of the video(easy,huh?)
U can get that temp folder location in IDMàoptionsàSave toàTemporary directory.

When u get to the folder,choose Dwndataà your username.In there,u will find many folder.IDM doesn’t named the folder the same name with the video clip so u may find it hard to see what r u want to watch (if u have many videos that still in download process)

There isn’t an easy way to search for the right video here (in my opinion).So,maybe u will want to check the folder size.

After u finded the video,open the first one (WHICH HAS CORRECT EXTENSION) by Dziobas Rar player.Other files cannot be played

That’s it! Hope u like the trick.
