INCREASE RAM OF YOUR PC BY USING A PEN DRIVE

Simple Steps : right click on your pen drive icon in my computers and go to properties.

and then OK.

Windows ReadyBoost

This feature is included in the following editions of Windows Vista:

Home Basic

Home Premium

Business

Ultimate

Adding system memory (typically referred to as RAM) is often the best way to improve a PC's performance, since more memory means more applications are ready to run without accessing the hard drive. However, upgrading memory can be difficult and costly, and some machines have limited memory expansion capabilities, making it impossible to add RAM.
Windows Vista introduces Windows ReadyBoost, a new concept in adding memory to a system. You can use non-volatile flash memory, such as that on a universal serial bus (USB) flash drive, to improve performance without having to add additional memory "under the hood."

Hide a RAR file in a JPG file

First you need to have a rar file and a jpg image to hide the rar
Say the jpg is “image.jpg” and the rar is “file.rar”

Go to Windows command prompt (Start>Run>type cmd and press enter)

Now type this command:

copy /b image.jpg + file.rar newfile.jpg

switch “/b” indicates the copy function is binary
“newfile.jpg” is the resulting image with the rar file embedded (you can use a name of your choice)

That’s all

When you click on newfile.jpg the image will be displayed. Now it you change the jpg extension to rar (ie: newfile.rar) and open it with WinRAR the contents of the embedded rar file will be displayed.

The jpg can be replaced with a bmp,png,gif or swf file. The rar archive can be replaced with zip,tar.gz/bz2 or 7z archive. Actually in theory you can use any image format and any archive.

Here are some sample commands:

copy /b image.bmp + file.zip newfile.jpg
copy /b image.gif + file.7z newfile.jpg
copy /b image.png + file.tar.gz newfile.jpg
copy /b image.swf + file.rar newfile.jpg
