Run your Trial Software Lifetime

With help of this post you can run any trial software which comes with some finite timeline period - for example 15 days trial - you can run it for your lifetime period just in 2 simple steps without changing date/time and registry:


Step 1: Download RunAsDate, and open it.

Step 2: Now click on Browse - select application, installed date of that application - and click run.

Important Note:


1: Note down the date and time, when you install the software for the first time.
2: Once the trial period expires, you must always run the software using RunAsDate.

3: After the trial period is expired, do not run the software(program) directly. If you run the software directly even once, this hack may no longer work.

4: It is better and safe to inject the date of the last day in the trial period. For example, if the trial period expires on dec 31 2011 then always insert the date as dec 30 2011 in the RunAsDate.

Close all open application with one click

At the end of the day I always like to close the open applications to prepare my computer for the next day. Since I rarely reboot my desktop, I manually close each application. Depending on the number of open applications this can be a waste of time.   The people at NTWind Software have a perfect utility for this situation aptly called Close All Windows. Instead of manually closing each application just click the Close All Windows button on your taskbar.


To get started head over to NTWind Software and download the latest version of Close All Windows.


After the file is downloaded extract the CloseAll folder to a permanent location on your computer.  Since Close All Windows is an application I extracted the folder to C:\Program Files\ where applications are typically installed.

For easy access it is best to pin the application to the taskbar. Drag the Close All Windows application from the CloseAll folder onto the taskbar.

Congratulations, you are now more efficient.

Create a Shortcut or Hotkey for the Safely Remove Hardware Dialog

If you often use removable USB devices like a flash drive, you are probably already familiar with the “Safely Remove Hardware” icon that sits in the system tray. The problem for many people is that the icon is  tiny, and clicking it just right to bring up the menu is a pain. Can’t we just make a shortcut to bring up the dialog?

Of course you can, and it’s really quite easy. Easier than trying to click the tiny icon in the tray, at least…

Create a Shortcut to the Safely Remove Hardware Dialog

Right-click anywhere on the desktop and choose New \ Shortcut: 

 

Then paste in the following into the location box: RunDll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll

Give it a name, and you’ll have a shortcut icon…

that will pull up the Safely Remove Hardware dialog.

Assign a Shortcut Key

If you want to assign a shortcut key to this dialog, you can right-click the icon and open the properties dialog, then go to the Shortcut tab.

Add in the shortcut key and close the dialog. As long as the shortcut is on your desktop you shouldn’t have to restart anything for the hotkey to work. You can also move the shortcut to another folder, for instance your quick launch bar.
