DiskDigger - File Recovery: So Easy

What if you mistakenly delete your files on hard disk or may be on USB or storage card? Obviously you would get panic and will try everything on earth for the recovery of it.


Okay lemme save you from all this. Try DiskDigger.




As the name says, it will dig each sector of your media for any signs of lost data. It can recover full or parts of files i.e. if the file is overwritten by any other file. The best part of it is that it doesn’t save or modify your files on the drive.


There is a lacking, however, that DiskDigger can work on some specific file formats and configurations. But hope the developers will get some more cool features added to it soon.


This application can be carried on any portable media as it is just an executable without any installation needed

Uninstalling Windows Live Messenger 9.0

I found a link to Windows Live Messenger (WLM) 9 and excitedly installed it; but that was a nightmare. I don’t know why it just didn’t signed me in. I tried every link on net; including Microsoft’s own help center, to resolve my issue, but all in vain.

Finally, I decided to uninstall it. I opened Control Panel and to my extreme horror, I didn’t find the uninstall option there; even I checked the Show Updates option too. There started my googling, and at last found something that may help you guys too.

All you need to do is open RUN from Start Menu and use the following line:

msiexec /x {0AAA9C97-74D4-47CE-B089-0B147EF3553C}


Click on OK and you will get rid of this obnoxious thing.

Cheers!!!

Clearing File History in Windows Media Player (WMP)

Ever wanted to clear the recent files history in Windows Media Player (WMP).

Open your Registry Editor (Run > type regedit) and go to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Player\RecentFileList

For Deletion of Files History:
Delete the RecentFileList sub-key.
For Deletion of Streamed Content History:
Delete the RecentURLList sub-key.

In the end, exit the Registry Editor, and restart your computer.
That will clean your history for WMP. But if you don’t want to delete the complete history, then delete individual entries from the right pane. That will help you get rid of the files that you don’t want to see in the Recent File list.
