Using Gmail account to monitor and handle all your separate email accounts

I use Gmail account as one of my main accounts to handle most of my important and personal email . I use multiple Gmail accounts as well apart from using domain based accounts. So I use Gmail's feature of handling multiple accounts for "Send As" feature and mail forwarding feature.

So what do we need as solution?

A single mail account where all the mail from multiple email accounts are forwarded, in which mail messages can be filtered in separate labels and mail messages can be replied from the email address it was sent to

Solution:-

1. 1 Gmail account
2. Multiple Gmail or hosted domain accounts which can be forwarded to your mail Gmail account
3. Mail forwarding and "Accounts" feature within Gmail
4. Creating labels in Gmail based on "Email Account" that the message comes from

Using three simple steps you can manage all from email accounts from a single account and use the base account as a email backup account for the respective email addresses.

The exact steps are detailed on Google Tutor Post.

Change the Title Text of ur Yahoo Messenger

Here’s how you change the title text that appears at the top of the Messenger window. By default, this is “Yahoo! Messenger”, followed by your status. Simply edit the ymsgr.ini file, which you will find in the same folder as the Messenger program, in your Program Files folder. Locate the file and open it in Notepad. Then, at the end, add the following:

[APP TITLE]
caption=YOUR TEXT

Here, “YOUR TEXT” is whatever you want in the title bar. Save the file and close Messenger. When you restart it you will see your text in the title bar.

Block & unblock a WEBSITE

Sometimes,eventhough we have access to the internet in colleges some sites like orkut etc are banned.
Now, the 2 qts that arise in mind are1)How is that blocking done??2)How to overcome and unblock??
Blocking a website:
For eg you want to block www.xyz.com !

1) Open the folder C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
2) There you will find a file named HOSTS
3) Now,open that file using notepad(right click and open with notepad)
4) Now, in the file under the line 127.0.0.1 localhost add another line as 127.0.0.2 www.xyz.com.
5) Now, File>>Save !
Now if you try opening www.xyz.com,it will not load
Unblock a website:
To unblock a site,just remove the line added in HOSTS file.(sometimes you may need to restart to load the site)
