Download Youtube Movie Freeware YouChoob

There are many programs for downloading YouTube videos, and this little app YouChoob chooses simplicity as a way to stand out from the crowd.



YouChoob downloads easily and quickly. The simple interface requires you to paste in the URL of your chosen video, then click 'download' and off it goes. There is a preview window and a download progress bar. A gray banner turns yellow when in progress and green once finished.

 allow user to choose download format in YouChoob such as mp4 format

 Batch Download for youtube movie

You can open multiple YouChoob windows to download videos simultaneously, although this can leave your desktop pretty cluttered. Files are downloaded in FLV/MP4 format, which is still not the most useful format, so you may need a further program to convert or play your downloads.

How to lock your computer by using a USB drive

How can we lock our computer by using a USB drive? It is possible and can be done by a freeware called Log Monitor!



Log Monitor is a freeware that has many usages. I try to go to the author page but i can’t understand the language, but i think most probably the author is a Russian. After playing with this application, i found that it can actually lock our computer and prevent others to login. The theory behind this is very simple. It keep monitoring your USB flash drive, once the file being monitored changed, or you remove the USB flash drive, this application will immediately lock your computer. If you remove your USB flash drive and the login to your computer, this application will immediately lock your computer again. Unless you hold the USB flash drive, else you can’t access that computer.

Step 1
You need to create a .log file in your USB flash drive. The file name can be anything and you can left your content blank. But, my advise is try to type something and make sure no people can get this file. I had create an example log file and will provide the download address at the end of this article.

Step 2
Go to Monitoring and choose Add File:



Now, choose the log file that you created, and change the Do Action’s option to If the file has been changed. Please check the Perform action if monitored file does not exist so that this application can lock your computer when you unplug your USB flash drive.



After that, switch to Options tab and set the interval to 1 second. This means Log Monitor will keep pulling each 1 second. If you think that this will affect your computer speed, you can set this value to higher.



Step 3
Now, go to Actions tab and choose New -> Execute Program. Fill in the parametes below:

Command: C:\Windows\system32\rundll32.exe
Parameters: user32.dll,LockWorkStation
Start in: C:\Windows\system32



Step 4
This is the final step. Go back to the main page and choose Options -> Program Options. At the General tab, check Minimize on start if you want Log Monitor minimize to system try when startup. Next, check the Start on user logon. Be careful, remember to make 1 copy of your log file if you check this. After you check this option, Log Monitor will automatically launch after you login. If you lost the log file, means you can’t control your computer anymore. After everything done, save the settings to your system and try unplug your USB. Your computer will be locked immediately!

Create Desktop Shortcut To Launch Chrome In Incognito Mode By Default

The Incognito mode of Google Chrome browser allows you to browse the Internet without leaving any tracing of your browsing history on the computer – none of URLs you visited are recorded, cookies and cache are deleted once the browser is closed.
The general way of launching Chrome in Incognito mode is to launch Chrome in normal mode, click on Tools icon and select New incognito window  or use the keyboard shortcut CTRL + SHIFT + N. I hate this method as it’s a lengthy process and also I’ve to close the first browser window which is opened in normal mode. Now lets looks at launching Chrome by default in Incognito Mode with help of a desktop shortcut


1) Create copy of Google Chrome Shortcut on your desktop (either by copy & pasting your existing desktop shortcut or by right clicking on the chrome icon available in Start Menu and choosing the option Send To -> Desktop)

2) Rename the new Chrome shortcut to “Google Chrome – Incognito” for differentiating the normal Google Chrome shortcut with Incognito mode shortcut

3) Right click on the Incognito mode short cut and select Properties

4) Navigate to Target textbox and append -incognito the the existing command text(note that there should be at least one space between chrome.exe & -incognito)

chrome_incognito_mode
5) Click on OK to save the changes.
Your shortcut to launch Google Chrome in Incognito mode by default is ready! From now onwards you can use this short and browse the net without any traces of your browsing habits on the computer
