Keep Skype in the Taskbar only (Skype version & Win7 superbar )

Simple, nice and easy..

Some people like it, some other not…..

Personally, i don’t find any reason loosing space from my Windows 7 “superbar” and i prefer a small and tidy icon!

How to do that..

1. Right click in the shortcut which you are running Skype

2. Choose properties

3. Move to Compatibility TAB and choose Windows Vista (SP2) as shown in  next photo.

4. Click OK and finitooo!!

Enjoy your old style Skype in the taskbar!!!!

Notepad ++ is just (wait for it)……Awesome!!!

Most of the times simplicity is lost under advanced and complex problems…

But certain tools were made for all occasions :P

Notepad ++ (http://notepad-plus-plus.org/) is THE  tool that will cover all your needs.

Tips for Notepad++

1). Many time you want to cut/copy a certain piece of code/text but usually you grab the all the lines and then delete

the unwanted part…Take a look at the next photo:

CopywithALT

By pressing ALT before starting the selection of the text, you can choose blocks in a text…Cool!!!

2) Nice and “lazy” or “quick” (whatever you like) cleaning of text from empty lines and extra spaces ( Next Photo )

It was the “simplicity” usage of Notepad ++ and in next post we will go dark and hardcore!!!!!!

Removing WordPress version from your Website

Small forgotten details may reveal to potential attackers an easy way to damage/attack …your site!!

First steps are to open the source code of the page and see what type of program you are using and which version.

By defaulf  WordPress shows your version in the source code just before the end of the header

Example:

<meta name=”generator” content=”WordPress X.X.X” />

will appear at the top of your page. (The above is generated by the myblg_head() function.)

The simplest way/ easiest way to remove this “unnecessary info” is:

1. Go to file default-filters.php

2. Search for the line :  add_action( ‘myblg_head’,             ‘myblg_generator’                         );

3. Comment out that line by adding “//” at the beginning

Result : // add_action( ‘myblg_head’,             ‘myblg_generator’                         );

4. Save the file and you are done.

2nd way to do that is by adding the next line to the file functions.php

remove_action(‘myblg_head’, ‘myblg_generator’);

(2nd way not tested!!)

After that, no more indiscrete eyes!!!
