How to clear your recently viewed documents

As you all know that whenever a document such as a word processing file, an image, sound file etc. is opened, it gets saved in your Recently Viewed Documents. At times it even gets annoying, because sometimes you don’t want something to be viewed by others and want to keep it private.

Well, to clear the history, follow the instructions below:

1. Right-click anywhere in your taskbar and select Properties.
2. Go to the Start Menu tab and make sure the usual Start Menu is selected (not the classic start menu)
3. Â Select Customize and from the customize window, go to Advanced tab.

There in the end of the window you will see the Clear List button beside ‘List my recently viewed documents.’ Click that button, and all the history will get cleared. If you don’t want your documents to get listed in that list, then un-check the option to list them.

There you go, history for the recently viewed documents is all cleared :)

I hope you enjoyed this little tutorial.

Finally It’s Done!

I know, I know… There has been a lot of downtime lately, but now I have finally got it fixed. My old host was having a lot of problems, but now I have moved to a new one. And I hope there won’t be any more downtimes. There was a major downtime of about 5 hours today, but that was expected as I had to wait for the DNS to get updated.

I am even planning to get a top-level-domain (TLD) for Sizzled Core. So, there is a lot more coming in the next few days :) I will continue posting regularly from tomorrow as I am feeling very sleepy because I haven’t slept properly since two days.

Remember, enjoy life and live healthy :)

So see you guys tomorrow!

My new signature/tag

I made a new tag a couple of days before. Many people like my last tag, but I have the latest one is a lot better than the old ones and is one of my favourites :)

New tag:

I would like to know if this one looks good or not. I’m still new to designing and don’t know much about it. I’m trying to improve with each design I make. If you want to see my entire collection of tags, visit here or visit my Photobucket Sigs album.

Funny Letters and Applications

I found these leave applications and letters in a local newspaper magazine. I found them funny, so I thought to post them here on Sizzled Core for readers to get a break from their daily routine :)

You will double up laughing for sure!

• A candidate’s application:

This is in reference to your advertisement calling for a ‘typist and an accountant – male or female…’ As I’m both for the past several years, and I can handle both, I am applying for the post.

• An employee applied for leave:

Since I have to go to my village to sell my land along with my wife, please grant me one-week leave.

• A boy wrote an application to the headmaster:

As I am studying in this school I am suffering from severe headache. I request you to leave me today.

• Leave application for wife’s sickness:

My wife is suffering from sickness and as I am her only husband at home I may be granted leave.

• Letter writing:

I am in well here and hope you are also in the same well.

That’s all… If you know any other, feel free to add them :D

I’ll try my best to post more such topics for you guys.

Find your friend’s age without being told!

You can find out the age of your friend without being told by asking him to play a simple mathematical game and ask him to carry out the following instructions in the given order.

1. Write down your age
2. Add 5 to it.
3. Double the result. 
4. Add 10 to it.
5. Multiply theresult by 5.
6. Subtract 100 from it.

Get the final result from your friend and cross out the last digit to obtain your friend’s age. Try this mathematical game with different people.

I got found this trick in a Mathematics book of Grade 8 :P

Reduce Spam by 99.9% in WordPress

Finally, I have found a way by which you can reduce spam by 99.% in your WordPress blogs. I was getting a lot of spam messages daily and this was the reason why I had to enable comment moderation :( . But now, I have finally got rid of this problem by using just two plugins :) .

I was already using Akismet, but now I have also started using Challenge. Akismet was not filtering out all the spam. I was still getting spam as comments. So, I googled some anti-spam plugins for WordPress and found Challenge. You must have seen that 2+2= in the comments :P . That’s Challenge. The combination of both Akismet and Challenge reduces spam up to 99.9%. It’s been more than a week since I installed Challenge, and till now, I haven’t received any spam comment :D . Even Akismet isn’t receiving any spam comments.

I would recommend everyone to use both of these plugins. This way I don’t even have to enable comment moderation, and this really helps me in getting more comments on my posts.

Delete a Community Topic in Orkut

Is there a topic against you on Orkut and you want to delete it? Well, I have found a cool javascript code that can delete and topic in a community’s forum. I won’t make this post long with unnecessary stuff. :p

• Go to the first page of the topic
• Paste the following code in the address bar and press ENTER.

javascript:submitForm(document.forms[1],’delete_entire_topic’,”);void(0)

That’s it! Refresh the page, and the topic will be there no more. :)

I hope you liked this trick. If you have any other trick for Orkut, feel free to share it here and I’ll give you full credit for it. :)

WordPress.com Stats footer.php Fix

You guys must have noticed that a few days back I changed Sizzled Core’s theme from iTheme to Envision. But since that day, my WordPress.com Stats plugin was not working. The stats were not updating and it continued that way for 3 days. Then I mailed at WordPress.com support and from there I came to know about the fix.

The problem in my case was that Envision did not have <?php wp_footer(); ?> in its footer.php

Many themes don’t have this. So it’s better to put <?php wp_footer(); ?> in your theme’s footer.php to avoid any problems later on. If ever you get stuck in such problem all you need to do is just copy the above given code and paste it anywhere in your footer.php. This will fix the problem and the plugin will continue collecting your blog’s data without any loss.
