Guide - decrease loading time for FOLDER with massive items

"My music folder loading time decreased from 4 seconds to... almost instantly! XD", Shahro

This guide is also for you if...

1) You are using Windows 7 (Might as well occur to XP or Vista, but the problem is less obvious for those OS)

2) You always open certain folders in your PC which contains A LOT of files particularly, music, photos, videos, documents.

3) ..and of course, you get annoyed by the time taken for all those files n its thumbnails to completely show up,   
OR  you hate hearing your hard disk making noises as those files are being accessed,   
OR  you imagine the equation 'lim n-to-infinity, [certain log eqn] = [certain limit]' every time you see the green progress bar. XD

Solution?
1. Go to the respective problematic folder.
2. Right-click it > Properties

3. Go to Customize tab.

4. Choose one type of folder type to be applied. (Usually chosen for you already)

5. The MAIN part!!! Tick the 'Also apply this template to all subfolders'.

6. Done! Click OK.

By doing this, you prevented Windows from doing the hassle of determining folder types for you, hence saving much more time, and laptop's battery power.

Test the difference if you don't believe me :).

Guide - Resize image faster, without using any image editing software.

This guide is for...

1) People who want a quick way to resize their pictures without opening any image editing programs which take considerably long time to load (like paint/acdsee/photoshop).
- commonly happens to... people who blogs, and like to put pictures from their digital camera etc.

2) ...and don't like installing new software. (This guide still requires you to install something though, but it is simply a windows extension rather than a software.)

3) Of course.. using Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7.

Solution?
Image Resizer Powertoy
This is a clone of the Image Resizer Powertoy for Windows XP -- a PowerToy that allows you to right-click on one or more image files in Windows Explorer to resize them.

Many people may have solutions of their own. However I still like to stress why this one works better.
1) Only 2 steps... Right click the picture, and choose the resize option. Both take below 0.1 second.
2) Works for multiple pictures. You just select those files, and right-click on them.
3) It is based on Microsoft's powertoys. Microsoft has discontinued creating any more powertoys after XP. So, the creator extended its compatibility with Vista/7. For the less savvy... this implies that, it simply adds a new feature to Windows, instead of installing new program etc.

Download link: go to their website =), it should be more convenient for them that way I think.

Haruhi with baju kebaya =)

I was thinking of reorganizing my folder and other stuffs in my PC. Like usual, I went into discovery-mode, haha. So I rediscovered this.
These pictures are taken from 'Kak Aya''s online diary if I remembered right. XDXD

 What is it about? =) Ahaha. Of course, if it is Kak Aya, then the first thing in mind is..

 Haruhi

About those pictures, apparently she ninja'ed (the term other blogger used XD) to Malaysia.
Until now, I can still find many other Malaysian anime-fans who are very envious to that Makcik through their blogs. Ahaha.

I still find Suzumiya Haruhi is the best story I've ever watched. The narrator's humor. The logically challenging events. The sense of continuity. The orchestra music they use in the background.  I like it very much that I even read the novels it was adapted from.

Just something to fill my time between calculus integrations. ^^ I am still in exam week. I'm hoping for the best for this term. Yeay!

[p/s: 'Kak Aya' is malaysianized version of 'Aya-nee-chan'.]
[p/s2: doki doki.... my next calculus is on Saturday, wish me luck ya]
[p/s3: I am among those who find the consecutive 8 episodes of Endless Eight as appropriate and nice way for the story to be presented. I believe the mistake is with those people who watch those new episodes as 'Season 2' instead of a reairing of the whole series.]
