Are you, too, annoyed by how difficult it is to just play DVD video files from your hard drive? Simplify your life by adding "Play DVD with VLC" to the right-click menu of every folder in one easy step! Press Windows Key + R to bring up the Run dialog and enter the following command:
REG ADD "HKCR\Folder\shell\Play DVD with VLC\command" /ve /d "\"%ProgramFiles%\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe\" -f \"dvd://%1\""

Making your own ringtones not only saves you money, but also gives you a small sense of pride, accomplishment, and self-worth.

The easiest way to get ringtones onto your computer is using Bluetooth. Your phone and computer both need to have Bluetooth capabilities for this to work. If your phone doesn't have Bluetooth, you are pretty much out of luck. Make it a point to demand Bluetooth on your next cellphone. [While you may be able to transfer ringtones using a data cable specific to your phone or via WAP/the mobile web with an unlimited data plan, neither of those topics are covered here.]

Don't worry, however, if your computer does not have Bluetooth (most don't). You'll just need something like this Bluetooth USB dongle (only $8.50 with free shipping :)). Besides the low price, this specific adapter looks like a good choice because it is compatible with the native Bluetooth stack in Windows. This means that you won't need to worry about any drivers -- just plug the device into any XP or Vista computer and it will magically just work (like a USB flash drive does).read more »
