3. Increase the life of your DVD ROM

This is an interesting one!!!

This is for those who watch movies on their computer's dvd rom drive!!!
There is a software called dvd idle pro which can really increase the life of your dvd drive. By using the Smart Read-ahead Cache,
DVDIdle saves DVD data which will be played soon onto the hard disk cache or RAM cache, and
then feeds it to DVD player.
This allows the DVD drive to rest.

For example:
a 6X-speed DVD drive will only work for 15 minutes when you are watching a 90 minutes DVD
movie.
here is the link: http://www.dvdidle.com/download/DVDIdlePro59.exe

5. The Restart Remap

Another Prank sure to throw off even the most advanced Windows user.
Setup is simple and you need only a few seconds alone on someone’s computer.
When you get a chance, sneak over and right-click your pal’s icon to Mozilla Firefox or some other commonly used program. Edit the properties and change the target to:
%windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -r -t 00
Now, every time your buddy tries to run Mozilla Firefox or the program you used, his machine will mysteriously restart —
and your laughter will instantly result.
