4 How to Bypass Adf.ly,Adfoc.us & Linkbucks Ad Pages

In a post not too long ago, I shared a site capable of revealing hidden links behind shortened urls.
But as it is, I discovered this site was of no help when it comes to un-hiding/revealing links behind specific websites such as adf.ly,fapoff.com,hotimg.com,lienscash.com... and this made me do some further research.

Sites such as Adf.ly, Adfoc and Linkbucks, are url shorteners that allows you to shorten/mask a url and at thesame time earn a meagre from them.
Once the link is clicked,the user is first taken to an ad-page where you'll be required to wait for about five seconds and thereafter a “Skip Ad” button is displayed.

During this period of waiting, the counter could freeze and this will require refreshing the page.
It becomes even more frustrating when on a mobile phone,as in most cases,'there is never a counter' not to talk of a Skip Ad button appearing.
In this case,the visitor is forced to leave the page.

So,if you happen to come across these links and you feel the content/file is too valuable to be ignored,then worry not.
In this tutorial,I 'll be giving two sites with which you can easily bypass all forms of ad restrictions either on mobile or Computer.

1. DeAdf.ly
   This site has proved very useful in debugging these links and it's been the most reliable website I found so far.
   Just bookmark the site,and whenever you're in need of it,visit it and Copy-Paste the URL into the box which says ‘Paste Here Adf.ly, Adfoc.us, Linkbucks link’ and finally click on Deadfly!
2. Deadfly
   This is another website which functions just exactly as the above mentioned.

So,you can try-out any of the sites to check its efficiency.
Here's a link you can try (Leads to Google) »

1 How To Create Password-Protected Folders Without Using A Software.

Securing personal files/softwares cannot be guaranteed in a situation whereby more than one person is permitted to a make use of a computer.
In this case,it is very necessary to ensure all sensitive/personal documents are kept hidden from the view of such users.
But how can you do that without a software?

Well,here's an easy way to it.
So,if you think there's a file/folder you'd like to keep hidden from the reach of others,just follow the steps below.

How To Secure Files/Folders Without Software

1. Create a new folder and create a new ‘Text Document’ in it by right-clicking and selecting ‘New’ » ‘Text document’.
2. Copy - Paste the following code snippet in the text document
   cls @ECHO OFF title Folder Private if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK if NOT EXIST Private goto MDLOCKER :CONFIRM echo Are you sure you want tolock the folder(Y/N) set/p "cho=>" if %cho%==Y goto LOCK if %cho%==y goto LOCK if %cho%==n goto END if %cho%==N goto END echo Invalid choice. goto CONFIRM :LOCK ren Private "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" attrib +h +s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" echo Folder locked goto End :UNLOCK echo Enter password to unlockfolder set/p "pass=>" if NOT %pass%== password here goto FAIL attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" Private echo Folder Unlocked successfully goto End :FAIL echo Invalid password goto end :MDLOCKER md Private echo Private created successfully goto End :End


3. Locate `Password here` in the code above and change it to whatever password you want to use (Simple to remember,but hard for others to guess)
4. Now click on File » Save as and give it any name you so desire but with a .bat extension.
   E.g : Lock.bat
5. Now,exit notepad and on getting to the new folder you created previously, you'll see a "LOCKER" command.
6. Double-click on this file and a new folder will appear (Private OR Confidential)
7. Now,copy/move all you want to hide in this “Private/Confidential” folder and go back one step.
8. Double-click on the "LOCKER" command again and you'll be greeted with something new.
9. Just press 'Y' as instructed and hit enter.
   Immediately,the ‘PRIVATE / CONFIDENTIAL’ folder will disappear.
Now,all your files & documents are secured in this hidden folder.
10. To undo hiding,double-click on this “Locker” command again and input the password you used above. Hit Enter and the hidden folder will re-appear..

Now,that's it.

NOTE ↓:
These files can still be sometimes accessed using the search,so it is highly recommended you rename your files before hiding them so as to ensure its maximum security.

2 HOW TO CHANGE WINDOWS 7 STARTER BACKGROUND/WALLPAPER.

This being the very first post this year,I'd like to say ‘Happy New Year’ to you all.

By default,the Windows 7 Starter edition of windows does not include the Personalization feature to 'change desktop background',edit 'Sounds,color & ScreenSaver' when the desktop is right-clicked on,and this makes it rather galling.

Having to leave the Computer's background all blue is even more appaling.
As a newbie to using the starter version,I didn't know it was a minus to its features as I resolved within me that I'd purchased a fake Computer system and wanted to return it as I was still within the period of guarantee until I met an engineer who informed me that the background can 'NEVER' be changed unless the OS is changed to another version.

While still planning to purchase an higher version of the Windows 7,I came across a software while surfing the net and that changed the whole story.

So in this article,I'll be giving two softwares which in my perspective are the only ones available and capable of changing the Starter desktop background.
So,I'll advise you to sit back with a cup of coffee in hand coz you might need it while trying to decide which software to download.

Applications To Change Desktop-Background In Windows 7 Starter.

Like I mentioned above there are two applications capable of performing this task.
Therefore,I'll be stating their similarities,uniqueness likewise their download links here.

1. Starter Background Changer 0.8.1 (SBC)»
Just like the name depicts,this Software is good at one thing only.....
Changing that awful looking static-blue background.

Though,this software's translation is a bit weird (Only during the installation process),it surely is a must-have application for any Starter user.

When installed,the ‘Personalize’ command which is previously not included in the desktop context menu will be added automatically.

Now,whenever you select the Personalize command from the menu,you can easily modify the Wallpaper,Sound,Colors and Screensavers.

Download link below ↓

2. Oceanis background Changer(OBC)
Just like the above mentioned software,OBC also helps to change the wallpaper of any Windows 7 starter operating system.

The installation process and language used are pure english language unlike SBC.

Some Similarities and Uniqueness of SBC & OBC

Similarities

• They have one purpose i.e To change the desktop background.
• Both supports Slideshows.
• Both is easy to use.

UNIQUENESS

• SBC adds a ‘Personalize’ command/feature to the context menu when the desktop is right-clicked on.
• The installation of OBC is wholly easy.
• SBC gives the liberty to edit other features easily from one place(Sound,Color & Screensavers).
• Selecting/Choosing images to make use of as slideshow is a bit more tedious in SBC.
• OBC gives the liberty to Shuffle images set as slideshow
• With OBC,you can choose to disable wallpaper slideshow while on Battery Power
• The minimum time for slideshow effect in SBC is 10 seconds,while in OBC,it's 1 min.

With these few points,I guess you can now decide which of the softwares to go for.
