Rename the recycle bin

By -
In this post, I'll show you how to change the name since a "simple right click and click rename" does not work on your XP. You'll have to edit the registry, so it's advisable to back up your registry first.
So let's go.

Before the tweak, my desktop was like this:

desktop
Desktop before tweak



Open the registry editor (windows key + R, type regedit and press enter)
run dialog
Once the registry editor is open, browse to the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
Registry editor
 To the right, double click the item with (Default) as its name
 
A dialog box appears as shown below. In the field named "value data", type in the name you would like to give to your recycle bin. I used Rubbish Can as shown below.

Edit value data
 The last task is for you to refresh on the desktop.

desktop after tweak
 
 The change is then done! Happy tweaking!!!!!!!

Ewe Catholic Hymnal (Dziƒomɔ)

  It's time to sing praises to the Lord. Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion, Declare among the people His deeds. Psalms 9:11 Download the app from the Google Play Store  This brought me to design a new app with hymns and prayers. The hymns are taken from the Ewe Catholic Hymnal, Dziƒomɔ. This app contains all the hymns (including the latin hymns) in the Dziƒomɔ , the hymnal and prayer book for catholics who speak the Ewe language. It also contains some prayers from the Dziƒomɔ . The app hopes to cater for people without the hymn book or who will prefer to use their smart phones for searching hymns rather than the hymnal since the app has greater flexibility of use compared to the hard copy of the hymn and prayer book. Some of the features included in the app are listed below.

Play a prank - Swap the mouse buttons

By -
I must admit, apart from a few other things, playing pranks is one of the most enjoyable feelings in the world. (Unless the joke is on you). I will therefore like to make a distinction between a joke and wickedness. A prank when taken to the extreme and results in damage to another person is callous; wiping someone's hard disk clean is gross wickedness but hiding his data for a few minutes and restoring it after he "sweats" a little may pass for a prank. OK! In this post, we are going to make the right mouse button act as the left and the left as the right. Imagine the look on your friend's face when he wakes up to see everything upside down. Though this can be done in control panel under mouse settings but in this post, i'll show a .bat file method of doing it. Copy the code below, paste it into notepad and save it with a .bat extension (e.g. swap.bat).
