{Tutorial} – List the installed applications of your Windows PC!

Hello fellows :P , it’s been a while since my last post. I have some tutorials today for you and this one is about your installed applications. Lets say for example you want to get all of your programs on your new system and you want the applications you had on your old one this is a way to get all of them listed and day to day download them all.

We will use the “Windows Instrumentation command-line interface (WMIC)” to do this and it’s an easy task believe me.

let’s start:

  1. Open your Command-Prompt (start->all programs->accessories->command prompt)
  2. Type in
    wmic

    and ENTER

  3. You will see a new prompt:
    wmic:root\cli>
  4. Type
    product get name,version

    This will list all the applications you have installed in the command prompt window.

  5. If you want to generate a text or HTM file for printing, execute the following:
    /output:d:\Applications.txt product get name,version        {this will create a TEXT file}
    /output:d:\Applications.html product get name,version        {this will create an HTML file}

    change the “d:\applist.txt” to your desired directory and filename!!!

THANKS for reading my tutorial and i hope you find it useful!!! :P

{Turorial} – PHP Website redirection – the fastest way to redirect a site to another place

Anyone tried making a website at least for once wanted to find a way to redirect his visitors to another place. Either his old page or an entirely new site. I did that when my new site was under development and it was redirecting them to my old one. And i even use this way now for my sites. I have 2 domains leading to the same exactly location but there this script directs each of the domains to its own folder having two total different sites into the same place.

Before we go with the script you should create the appropriate file.

  • Create a new textfile named “index.php” (without quotes – notice the .php extension)
  • open it with notepad and enter one of the below scripts (You must pay attention that the scripts must be placed on top of any other code or html tag into the source. I suggest you that if you have a redirection page do not have any other code into the file with this script, or if you want to have, place the script above everything even <html> tag ;) )
  • save it and place it into the root of your hosting space

Let’s see the script and explain it later on:

<?php
$domain = $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"];

if (($domain == "siteA.com") ||
($domain == "www.siteA.com"))

{
header("location: http://www.mysites.com/siteA/index.html");
}

if (($domain == "siteB.com") ||
($domain == "www.siteB.com"))

{
header("location: http://www.mysites/siteB/index.html");
}
?>

Let’s see what’s happening here:
- The script gets the adress sent by the browser to the server and if the adress is “siteA.com” or “www.siteA.com” directs it to the folder “siteA” in “mysites.com” which is the main space. Now if the adress is “siteB.com” or “www.siteB.com” directs it to the “siteB” folder. This is the script i use now to direct my 2 domains (www.lambrospower.com and www.mastergenius.net )

If you have only one document, one space and just want to have a simple redirection from the root of your domain to any other place online you should use this code instead:

<?php
header("location: http://www.mysites.com/siteA/index.html");
?>

where the http://www.mysites.com/siteA/index.html is the place that your visitors will go visiting your domain. you can place anything you want there, google.com, the url to an image, the url to your facebook profile or even the adress of a file and when you visit your domain the download begins.

You must remember though that these scripts are entered at the top of your source before any html tag. The best way is to have a blank source with just these scripts into your root folder and remember to name it with the .php extension and be sure that your server supports PHP.

Thank you and for any questions or suggestions don’t hesitate to comment!!! :P

{Tutorial} – Lightning Shutdown/Restart of your PC

Welcome again my friends :P

All of us sometimes have difficulties shutting down the PC and are forced to use the “Power” hardware button to turn off our systems. Not any more…MasterGenius.NET will show you a way to amazingly easy turn off or restart your PC at a specific time  and even better using shortcuts. You will also be able to cancel a shutdown or restart you accidentally caused anytime for any reason.

Firstly: We will use the process “shutdown.exe” which is built in on every windows system into this directory “C:/WINDOWS/System32/shutdown.exe” where as the c: is the drive where you have windows installed ;)

1) Create a shortcut for shutting down the system with or without time specified
-
Right click on desktop and make a new shortcut.
- Then it will ask for the location of the item and you must type in the following “c:/windows/system32/shutdown.exe -s -t 15″ without the quotes.
- Explanation now Please :P

  • shutdown.exe: is the name of the program we call to shutdown the system or restart it
  • -s: tells the system that we want it to shutdown and not restart
  • -t: specifies that we will enter a time to shutdown the pc and then follows the time in seconds “15″ in our case

This is the basic arguments you pass to this program for it to work. If you want the PC to instantly shutdown you just add the “-s” argument after the shutdown.exe.

Now to make it a little more spicy we want to make it even faster. When we are going to run this shortcut we want it to shutdown the pc without interuption so we must add this argument “-f” too in order to close all running applications without asking us. And the whole command should be this way “C:/windows/system32/shutdown.exe -s -f -t 15″ , this will shutdown the PC in 15 seconds and force all running applications to close.

2) Create a shortcut for restarting the system with or without time specified

To restart the PC instead of shutting it down we must use the argument “-r” instead of the “-s” we used in shutdown. So for more clear information if you want to restart the system in 23 seconds and want to close all applications even not responding ones we must use this “c:/windows/system32/shutdown.exe -r -f -t 23″ into the location box in the shortcut.

3) Cancel all processes made with the shutdown.exe

Now let’s say you have by mistake clicked on one of your above shortcuts but you DON’T want the system to restart or shutdown. There is another command you can use to cancel all running scheduled restarts or shutdowns with the shutdown.exe program.

- Create a new shortcut and in the location box write “c:/windows/system32/shutdown.exe -a” without quotes

the “-a” arguments clears all the others called before and the system does not reboot or shutdown.

In conclusion the 3 shortcuts we learned today are:

  • shutdown.exe -s -f -t 15   (shutdown the pc and force to close all applications in 15 seconds)
  • shutdown.exe -r -f -t 12   (restart the pc and force all applications to close in 12 seconds)
  • shutdown.exe -a   (CANCEL all the above, must be run before the time specified has passed for obvious reasons :P )

If you do not want to create shortcuts and have them on your desktop you can memorize them and type them into “RUN dialog box in WindowsXP” or into the “Searchbar at the bottom of start menu in windows VISTA” and will work the same way.

ATTENTION: In case the commands do not work there must be problem with the “shutdown.exe” by default located in “x:/windows/system32/” folder where x: is the drive where windows is installed. If for any reason you don’t have this program in there you can download it from below and place it where ever you want and use it from there. But be careful to use the new location into the shortcuts.

DOWNLOAD the shutdown.exe

***For more detailed information on the “shutdown.exe” program open the CommandPrompt into your system and type “shutdown help” without the quotes!!!

UPDATE: I forgot to tell you tha you can use the “shutdown -a” command to cancel any shutdown your system is doing. For example sometimes because of an error your pc tells you tha it will turn off in 10 seconds. You can use this command to cancel these turnoffs too, not just the ones you start.

I hope you liked the small tutorial and be useful for you all :P :P ;)
