how to create temporary drive in my computer..

we can create a temporary drive in system by following the simple steps
1.First, open up Command Prompt. If you can't find it, then press Start, then Run, type cmd in the box and press OK.
2.In the command prompt type subst x: c:\windows, where "x:" is what you want the drive letter to be, and "c:\windows" is where you want the assigned drive letter to point to. In this case it's pointed to c:\windows, you can set it to point to whatever folder you like.
3.If you don't need the new "drive" anymore, just delete it. Type subst /d x: in Command Prompt, where "x:" is the drive letter you created earlier.

The drive you pointed can be any folder you like such as you can create seperate folder for songs...try this out and send your comments.

Blackle-black google to save energy

White is Costlier, when it comes to color and electricity also than Black.switching off the monitors when not in use could save lot of energy,and here you can save energy just by shifting from White Google to black Google...blackle..According to EcoIron, “An all white web page uses about 74 watts to display, while an all black page uses only 59 watts.” As Google has more than 200 million queries a day, and if Google has a black background, it would save 750 Megawatt-hours a year!

Blackle took this point into consideration and they have created an all black homepage for searching in Google. Have a look at this and try it out. Black Google seems to be little odd as we are using White Google.
