Tweet your Flickr Photos

Posted: 01 Jul 2009 10:34 AM PDT

Twitter and Flickr are the major players in their own field. But, We used services like TwitPic to share photos on Twitter as it was not possible to tweet flickr photos directly. Now, Flickr adds support for Twitter officially.

If you have photos on Flickr account which are to be share on twitter then you will need to authorize Twitter account from Flickr to tweet it at the same time using the exclusive short URL Flic.kr ! It is not very similar to Twitpic where you use Twitter username and password to sign in and share.flickr twitter

After authorizing the Twitter account, users will get a ‘Blog This‘ Button that will post photo with a custom twitter update from Flickr account itself. For more details on Twittering the Flickr photos, refer official blog post.

Flickr account holders can share their images in Twitter directly using custom Flic.kr URL. Images or videos can be also shared via Mobile by sending it to a custom 2Twitter email address. This has been one of the much demanded features of Flickr users addicted to Twitter.

Uninstall Windows Media Player 12

Posted: 01 Jul 2009 02:53 AM PDT

Upgraded to Windows 7, but don’t like the Windows Media player 12 / WMP 12 which is present by default. If you fall in these category of people then uninstall WMP 12 and use the earlier version you like.

Follow the tutorial step by step to remove WMP 12 and downgrade / replace with Windows media player 11.

1. Download Windows Media Player 11 Installer for Windows 7

2. Now Type services.msc on windows 7 search bar

3. Stop Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service.

4. Take Ownership of following files

All files in "Program Files\Windows Media Player\" folder
All files starting with "wmp" in System32 folder
wmploc.dll.mui in "Sytem32\en-us\" folder

5. Now Run Windows Media Player 11 Installer

6. Now type Regedit on Start Menu Search bar

7. Delete following Registry key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Setup\Installed Versions

(Don't forget to take Backup of Registry before modifying registry /editing/deleting any registry key)

8. Finally, go to C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player, right click wmplayer.exe and in the details tab copy the "Product Version" (eg in my pc it's 11.0.6000.6324). Then open regedit again, open "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\PlayerUpgrade\PlayerVersion", and replace the value with the one you copied before, but where you see dots, replace them with commas.

Personally, I removed WMP 12 before of tagging problem and its executing speed. So, I searched for procedure and compiled from the search results. Thanks Sandip.

Add Folder stack to Windows 7 Superbar

Posted: 01 Jul 2009 02:01 AM PDT

Since the launch of Windows 7, the superbar has been most discussed and perhaps the noticeable thing at first sight which clearly clearly differentiates it from predecessors.

Well, we all have couple of folders which we access more frequently so it would be better to keep them handy by pinning them to the Windows 7 Taskbar aka SuperBar where they can be shown as menu or list with miniatures.

add folder superbarWith 7Stacks, you can add up to 10 lists of folders at superbar of Windows 7 in three display modes just mentioned. And creating a new list is as simple as clicking the right button in any folder on your system and select the “Create New Stack“, after which we will have an icon on the desktop and pin it to taskbar. Moreover, as we are creating space for folders are real (and not just shortcuts) can navigate through subfolders, all without leaving the superbar.
