How to Hack Software and run Trial Program Forever

We can run any trial software for ever.

Strange!!!

just read on..

Most of us are familiar with many softwares that run only for a specified period of time in the trial mode. Once the trial period is expired these softwares stop functioning and demand for a purchase. But there is a way to run the softwares and make them function beyond the trial period. Isn’t this interesting?

Before I tell you how to hack the software and make it run in the trial mode forever, we have to understand the functioning of these softwares. I’ll try to explain this in brief.

When these softwares are installed for the first time, they make an entry into the Windows Registry with the details such as Installed Date and Time, installed path etc. After installation every time you run the software, it compares the current system date and time with the installed date and time. So, with this it can make out whether the trial period is expired or not.

So with this being the case, just manually changing the system date to an earlier date will not solve the problem. For this purpose there is a small Tool known as RunAsDate.

RunAsDate is a small utility that allows you to run a program in the date and time that you specify. This utility doesn’t change the current system date, but it only injects the date/time that you specify into the desired application.

RunAsDate intercepts the kernel API calls that returns the current date and time (GetSystemTime, GetLocalTime, GetSystemTimeAsFileTime), and replaces the current date/time with the date/time that you specify. It works with Windows 2000, XP, 2003 and Vista.

NOTE: FOLLOW THESE TIPS CAREFULLY

You have to follow these tips carefully to successfully hack a software and make it run in it’s trial mode forever.

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 jan 30 2009, always inject the date as jan 29 2009 in the RunAsDate. I hope this helps! Please express your experience and opinions through comments.

How To Run Adobe Reader As Fast As Notepad

Well e-books have become an integral part of our daily life and most of them are in .pdf format.

.pdf files are opened and read using Adobe Reader. It is a very good software except the fact that it is extremely slow. I ( http://techfirm.tk) was looking for a solution for the problem ie.. to make Adobe Reader Faster and came up with a pretty simple solution.

This trick will make Adobe Reader as fast as Notepad.

Note:- I tried this trick on Adobe reader 9.0 ( but it works with older versions as well)

1) Go to the installation folder of acrobat reader
(C:\\program files\\adobe\\reader9.0\\reader\\.. whatever)

2) Move all the files and folders from the “plug_ins” directory to the “Optional” directory. (I repeat.. cut and paste the files NOT copy & paste). Also make sure that acrobat reader is not open else it will lock the files and not allow you to move the files).

The Reader may configure itself  once again for the first time you open it. It will just restore the most important files back to “plug_ins” folder.

Now your acrobat reader will load very fast
and almost as good as notepad

How To Add Contents To Right Click Pop-Up

Hey friends, as we all know that windows XP is one of the most popular and most widely used windows of Microsoft Corp. till date. And as we know that more usage leads to more exploitation and hence more hacks.


From now I would be posting a series of windows XP hacks or you can say unexplored Windows XP tricks.


I am sure you are gonna love them. They are very rare and unique tricks.


XP Hacks Series Trick 1:-


Adding Content to Right Click
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\ContextMenuHan dlers
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}
Exit the registry and 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.


I hope you liked it. Do pass on comments.

How To Change Log on Screen background in Windows 7

How would you like to change the logon screen background in Windows 7 so as to give your Windows a customized look and feel? With a small tweak it is possible to customize the Windows 7 logon screen and set your own picture/wallpaper as the background. Changing logon screen background in Windows 7 is as simple as changing your desktop wallpaper. Well here is a step by step instruction to customize the logon screen background.

1. The image you need to set as the background should be a .jpg file and it’s size should not exceed 245KB.

2. The image resolution can be anything of your choice. However I prefer 1440 x 900 or1024 x 768. You can use any of the photo editing software such as Photoshop to compress and set the resolution for your image. Once you’re done, save this image asbackgroundDefault.jpg.

3. You will need to copy this image to

C:\Windows\system32\oobe\info\backgrounds

You will need to create that path if it does not already exist on your computer.

4. Now open the Registry Editor (Start -> Run -> Type regedit) and navigate to the following key

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\
LogonUI\Background

If Background does not exist rightclick LogonUI, select New and then Key, and then name it Background. Now locate OEMBackground (listed on the right side). If it does not exist, right-click Background and select New and then DWORD and name it OEMBackground.

5. Double-click on OEMBackground and set the Value Data to 1.

6. Now log-off to see the new logon screen background. If you would like to revert back to the default background, just set the Value Data back to 0.

I hope you like this trick. Just try out and give your feedback!

How To Make Your Computer Speak/Talk Whatever You Type

Hey guyz Setore is back again with something new as usual. I am going to make a post about something off topc. Apart from the Batch Programming Series.

Actually the problem started when I started working on a new project. I had to learn many new things for that and had to read continuously for 5-6 hours sitting infront of my computer. Its a very tiring process and it really had a bad affect on my eye sight. I wished that someone could just read all that for me, the other moment the thought came in my mind that , why can’t my computer speak it up for me. And with a little research I came across something very interesting.

In this post I am going to tell you guyz how to make your computer speak whatever you type… Sounds interesting?

Well read on.. The process is very simple.

This method takes advantage of a built-in API installed on most Windows XP machines called SAPI (Speech Application Programming Interface). 

The Microsoft Speech API is used for the Narrative accessibility feature built into Windows. We can also write programs that call the API, which would allow you to let our computer/laptop speak.

Making your computer say what you want is pretty easy actually!

Here’s how you do it:

1) Open Notepad and type/paste the following text into a new document:

Dim message, sapi
message=InputBox(“Enter the text you want spoken”,”Speak This”)
Set sapi=CreateObject(“sapi.spvoice”)
sapi.Speak message

2) Now when you go to save the file, give it any name, but make sure you also type .VBS after the name. Also, for the Save as type box, choose All files instead of the default Text Documents.

3) After doing this, just run the script. You will come across a box as shown below. Type anything you want in there and have fun. Tho the default voice is quite funny but its fun. Now show this to your friends or just play a prank with them:-P

Note:- In  my view this works only with windows XP. If it works on any other version of windows, do let me know:)

This uses default Windows Narrator functionalities. (Again in XP).You can activiate this from

“Accessories –> Accessibility –> Narrator”

If you want to change the voice, you can download it from microsoft site and then can change it from

“Control Pannel –> Switch to Classical View –> Speech”.

You can also set frequency from here. Also, you can use this control in your programming and get it read by your computer whatever you want.
