10 Most Useful Google Labs Features for Gmail users

Google Labs has provided a lot of features which has completely revolutionized the way Gmail worked. But how the name comes "Labs"? Its because these features are not fully ripe and still in testing phase. They may crash in between or simply stop working. But how someone can resist the really cool features it provides. If any of the labs' feature crashes and causes Gmail to stop working, you can always switch to http://mail.google.com/mail/?labs=0 to disable all labs' features.

To enable each of these features, go to Settings -> Labs and enable the desired features.

So, some of the 'must haves' I think all frequent Gmail users deserve are as follows -

1) Undo Send by Yuzo F

this is very useful
If you have sent a mail to a wrong person, or you have forgotten to write something in the mail or any other thing you forgot while composing the mail or accidentally you hit the send button, then with this feature enabled you still get 5 or 10 seconds to undo the sent mail. If you click on 'undo' as shown in the pic above, your mail won't be sent and you will be brought back to the compose mail screen.
for some people 5 or 10 seconds may be too less than your reaction time, but this is what Google thinks you reaction time should be!! To set the period go to - Settings -> General -> Undo Send -> Send Cancellation Period and set the time there.

2) Custom keyboard shortcuts by Alan S

This is for all those 'running out of time' guys, who use keyboard shortcuts frequently in Gmail. By enabling this feature you can edit the keyboard shortcuts and assign your own. For all those who haven't used the keyboard shortcut feature of Gmail, let me tell you that this is off by default and to enable it go to Settings -> General -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Keyboard Shortcuts on.

3) Canned Responses by Chad P

Now attention all lazy guys out there! This is the thing I like the most. It lets you send automated replies to a set of mails you create as filter. Suppose you are out of town or in hospital . And you are getting loads of emails daily . Obviously you feel irritating to reply each one of them individually. One option is to set a filter for these kind of emails and create a 'Canned Response' to be sent as reply to each of these emails, automatically. isnt it cool

To create canned response -

• Go to Compose Mail and write whatever you wanna write as an automated response. You can enter Subject also.
• Now, click on 'Canned Responses' beside 'Attach a file' link to and click on 'New Canned Response'.
• Enter any name there.

To create filter and set canned response -

• Goto Settings -> Filters -> Create a new filter.
• Enter the desired filter settings and click 'Next Step'.
• Click on 'Send canned response' and select the Canned response you created before.
• Click on 'Create filter'.

Now, the emails filtered on the basis of filter created above will automatically get the Canned response as reply.

4) Navbar drag and drop by Anatol P

Enabling this feature lest you treat sub-windows in your Gmail window like Chat, Invite a friend, etc. to be treated like floating widgets. You can drag and drop them and arrange them on your Gmail page as you like.
coool!!!!!!!!!
5) Forgotten Attachment Detector by Jonathan K




Sending mails in hurry often results in mistakes like forgetting to attach the desired file. This feature lets you prevent that up to an extent. If your mail contains words like 'attached', etc. and you have forgotten to attach any file to the mail, then clicking on Send button pops up a message box saying that there are no files attached. Why I am saying that its prevents your mistakes 'up to an extent' because if you have used the word 'attach' or 'attachment' instead of 'attached', then it won't remind you of forgotten attachment.


6) Text Messaging (SMS) in Chat by The SMS Team

This is currently working for US phones only and allows you to send SMS right from the Gmail chat window. To know more about this feature, click here.

7) Google Search by Adam and Drew


Adds a small Google Web Search box inside the Gmail window. Lets you search for things from Gmail window only. Results appear in the same window.



8) Inserting images by Kent T


As the name suggests, this lab feature allows you to add the 'Insert Image' button into the compose email toolbar. You can upload image from your computer or choose a url.

9) Authentication icon for verified senders by E R



Enabling this feature adds a super-trustworthy icon against each authentic mail to help protect against spam and phishing. Currently, its working for eBay and PayPal only. So if the mail pretends to be coming from PayPal but actual is not, then it will be rejected on the spot, else it will appear with this 'key' icon.

As per the Gmail blog -
"Super-trustworthy" is a technical term I just invented that means: (1) the sender, usually a financial institution, is a target of phishers, (2) all of the sender's email is authenticated with DKIM, and (3) Gmail rejects any fake messages that claim to come from this sender, but actually don't.


10) Title Tweaks by Fedor K

It changes the title bar of Gmail window from "Gmail - Inbox (25) - crazyshrenik@gmail.com" to "Inbox (25) - crazyshrenik@gmail.com - Gmail" as in my case, i.e. the word 'Gmail' goes to the last. So, if there are are a large number of tabs open, then you can see the number of unread messages, instead of the word 'Gmail'. Same in the case of minimized window, as in minimized window mostly you can see just the first few text of the title of the window, hence it allows you to see the number of unread messages rather than useless 'Gmail' written over there. You can identify that the window opened is Gmail only from the favicon, so no need of the word 'Gmail'.

Windows Vista Theme For Windows XP

Windows Vista Theme For Windows XP

One of the more visible changes of the Windows Vista operating system was the Windows Vista Sidebar which made it possible to put so called gadgets on the Windows.Gadgets are small applications that can display all kinds of information such as RSS news feeds, contacts or system information.



Many Windows Vista users like the Windows Sidebar, others feel that it is to restricted to one part of the screen. Microsoft has already announced that they will change that behavior in Windows 7 so that users can place gadgets wherever they want on the desktop.

It was only a matter of time until someone would port the Windows Vista Sidebar to Windows XP. Joshoon managed to port the real Windows Sidebar to Windows XP by making use of Alky For application. You might remember Alky from the time when Windows Vista came out. That was at the same time when Microsoft announced Vista only applications and Alky was supposed to make them compatible with Windows XP (like the games Shadowrun or Halo 2)



The pack includes three different applications that are needed to install, display and maintain the Windows Vista Sidebar in Windows XP. First there is Alky For Applications which can simply be installed. Once that is done the Windows Vista Sidebar can be installed and will be operational afterwards. The pack comes with many gadgets and a tool called Gadget Gallery which can be used to add new gadgets to the sidebar.
Already available gadgets can be added by right-clicking the sidebar and selecting a gadget from the list of installed gadgets. Each gadget can be added by right-clicking it and selecting Add from the context menu.



Even more interesting than this is the ability to download gadgets from the Windows Vista Gallery site over at Microsoft. It requires some manual work but it’s easily done and works perfectly fine. The gadget needs to be downloaded and unpacked. It comes with the .gadget extension but it can easily be unpacked by most unpackers. Worked fine with 7-zip.

The directory that will be created by unpacking the .gadget file, adding the .gadget extension to the root directory of it and moving it to the Shared Gadgets directory of the sidebar application.
One interesting feature is the ability to detach a gadget from the sidebar so that it can be moved freely around on the desktop.
The Sidebar requires roughly 20 Megabytes of computer memory when displaying the default three gadgets.

If any of the above files are there, then probably the USB drive is infected. In command prompt type attrib -r -a -s -h *.* and press enter. This will remove the Read Only, Archive, System and hidden file attribute from all the files. Now just delete the files using the command del filename. example del Ravmon.exe. Delete all the files that are suspicious. To be on a safer side, just scan the USB drive with an anti virus program to check whether it is free of virus or not. Now remove the drive and plug it again. In most of the cases, the real culprit turns out to be the “Autorun.inf” file which mostly gets executed when someone clicks Ok in the dialog window which appears above. Thus the infections can spread

Linux hacking

Since Microsoft has a huge chunk of the operating system's market in the world, it is the first victim of hackers. But that doesn't mean that Linux hacking doesn't exist. Although is less common than it's close sourced companion, there are several reasons why hackers try to hack machines with Linux. Many corporations use Linux as their server on the web as it is cheaper and easier to deploy. Its security is also better when compared to Microsoft operating systems. No wonder that network hacking tools for this open source operating system have proliferated in the last years.




What Are The Issues With Open Source Linux?
The main difference between Linux and Windows is that Linux is open source and windows are closed source. So? Well, that means that only Microsoft is authorized to change any part of the code of the Windows operating system. While in Linux, anyone can change it.

The other problem is that the Linux Operating System doesn't receive the same level of support as Windows does. That means that updates and security packages are released with each new version of the Operating System (OS), but not as periodic updates as in the case of Windows XP's Windows Update.

That means that the user will have to be the one responsible for checking for the updates instead of trusting this matter to an organization. So, a user could pass long periods of time without knowing that his OS has an important security failure that could compromise his work or even the security of his network.

The only way to contra rest this inconvenient, is buying support from a determined Linux OS provider, like Red Hat. For an annual fee, they will provide you with important information on the different bugs that have been found in the OS and that need to be fixed.

If you choose otherwise, you will spend a long time inside forums talking to Linux experts around the world. If that isn't the core competence of your business, why should you spend that time doing it? That's one of the main arguments that Microsoft uses when comparing it's OS with open source OS's.

          Increase the printing speed of your printer

You can improve the printing speed of your printer with managing the print spooler option.

Basically printer spooler holds your prints for some time then send to printer for print out.

By default on most printers, printer spooler option is enabled but you turn off to specify that the file should be sending to the printer and not spooled. Here printer spooler option might be different location in your printer but on most printers you can turn off by going to Start, Setting then Printers.

Now right click on the icon of the printer that you are using.
Click Properties and select the Advanced tab.
Here click on “Print directly to printer” option.

This will tie up your application until the printer has all the data, but your print job should finish more quickly.

Printing directly to the printer will also come in handy if your print spooler crashes and you need to print before you reboot your PC.
