how to: using CSS Text-Shadow to Create Cool Text Effect


Note : This is not Photoshop. This is 100% coding and I've been using this to create title effect for my blog.

The CSS3 text-shadow property has been around for some time now and is commonly used to recreate Photoshop’s Drop Shadow type shading to add subtle shadows which help add depth, dimension and to lift an element from the page. This isn’t all the text-shadow property is capable of though, by getting creative and playing around with the colours, offset and blurring we can create some clever and pretty cool text effects!


How To : Unhide folder hidden causes by "shortcut" virus


When the directory is infected with shortcut virus, some believe that all the folders or files in the directory were disappeared and not hidden since "show hidden files" option did not help. Actually, all the folder are hidden using other different attribute. The folders are converted to 'protected operating system file' by the virus; which mean we cannot see the folder using "show hidden file option" or changing the attribute like we always did in the file properties.To change the attribute we can use command prompt (cmd) or any necessary third-party software.


To unhide folder hidden with 'protected operating system file' attribute:

1. Open directory (which was infected with Shortcut Virus).

2. Make new notepad file (right click anywhere > new > text document)

3. Rename new text document with your desired name + *.bat. e.g. unhidefolder.bat (if you unable to rename the extension, you should unchecked "Hide extensions for known file types" located in organize > folder and search option > view tab. - windows 7 user)

4. Edit *.bat file that you created earlier by right clicking on the file >edit. This will launch the notepad.

5. Copy this code onto the notepad:

attrib -h -r -s /s /d *?

6. Save.

7. Run *.bat by double clicking on it. Wait for a few seconds until you see your folder appear.

Notes : The *.bat file should be in the same directory as the hidden folder.

Tip: If you see unrecognized *.exe file after unhide the folder, delete it. It must be a virus. e.g. asjgha.exe

Term: *.bat refer to Batch file, *.exe refer to Executable file

Tip2: You can hide your folder with more powerful attribute (than changing the properties) manually by reversing the code given above.
