Shortcut Key to Disconnect GPRS, EDGE, 3G/HSDPA Dial-up Internet Connection in Windows Vista

We have seen a rampant growth in Wireless Internet Industry from homes, malls, airport and even city wide wireless solutions. iBurst or HC-SDMA provides the user seamless wireless experience on the go. Cellular Networks and Internet VOIP are replacing the old POTS or Plain Old Telephone Service Lines.

I have an Engineering License to work in Telecom Industry but who knows... Maybe, I'll shift from Control System Engineering to Telecom or IT? or if I'm lucky, as Internetpreneur!

Let's go back to the topic. My 3G/HSDPA modem is not well written that sometimes I can't click the manufacturers software in the Notification area.

Here's the fix / Solution:

The command doesn't requires to launch as administrator, so it's easy! Just Make or Create a shortcut to Disconnect the Internet Connection to your Desktop and Enter this command: rasdial /disconnect

Right-click your Desktop > NEW > Shortcut

You can change the Icon if you like: Right-Click > Properties > Change Icon...

you may encounter the message "The File c:\Windows\System32\rasdial.exe contains no icons. Choose an icon from the list or specify a different file". Just press ok.

Finally, simply drag it to your Quick launch taskbar.

Press Win+Pos e.g. WinKey+4 as shown from the picture above

That's it.

Enjoy!!!

Accelerated Memory Gain Research

No more Memory Gap. Do you believe that the memory of a human being can be accelerated if you increase the number of senses used while memorizing words or studying something?

Since I was a child, I am having some difficulty in memorizing new words. I usually end up saying the words again and again, and forgot about it after a few hours :)

1. If the words are interesting, for sure you can't forget what it means.
2. Focus
3. Listen
4. Speak
5. Understand
6. Imagination rules

Preliminary Research Results

Exam	Score
Test 1	70%
Test 2	40%
Test 3	92%

Test 1 - Relax and Average Sleeping Time, Read and Speak while Memorizing the Words (The Usual Thing)

Test 2 - Rush and Short sleeping time, Read and Speak while Memorizing the Words.

Test 3 - Relax, Short sleeping time, Using a Computer, Read and Speak while Memorizing the Words.

Test 3 shows an excellent improvement over Test 2

The experiment took more than three weeks of study and a few lines of code. I have no Ph.D. Degree and few resources but my findings shows a significant increase in the score. Useful for Children in Elementary and Secondary Education around the world. Even for Professionals.

"Dude, I ain't dumb. I got 100%, isn't that Great?"

Sweet.

:)

The truth is... these past few weeks, I got bored in writing Articles for Windows Vista.

Catcha later Guys. Have Fun. Enjoy!

Anyway, Please feel free to post your views, additional information, suggestions and if your interested in my research, my email address is UnlockForMe@gmail.com

Want to Turn-Off/hide the annoying language bar?

Can't find Korean/Chinese Microsoft Pinyin IME in Vista English version?

 

If you'll visit another country, studying specific foreign language like Japanese, having difficulty in studying Katakana, Hiragana and Kanji characters, or maybe you have bought an English OS and you want to write in your own language. Don't worry.

Just like in Windows XP, Vista is still equipped with tools that can help you to study and even communicate with foreign nationals with their language around the world.

Microsoft IME (Input Method Editor), according to Microsoft is a software that allows Windows users to enter complex characters and symbols in Japanese, Chinese, Korean and other characters, using the standard keyboard.

How to Hide/Add/Setup The Language Bar

or Simply, Launch by typing intl.cpl in Windows Vista Search or Run Window

Choose Change keyboards... Button

Click to Check the Language that you want to load in your Keyboard.

or To Hide and Remove Language Bar in the Task Bar, simply go to Language Bar Tab of Text Services and Input Languages Window and Choose the Hidden Option

That's it!

The truth is... This is really useful in studying foreign characters like Japanese Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji.

Just Don't forget to Switch Input Language to English by Clicking the JP or EN symbol or by using the default Keyboard Shortcut LEFT ALT+SHIFT
