by


Earlier we have learnt about the process of setting up for getting a custom audio message on Windows startup, but today in this piece of article, let us go through the process of setting up in order to get a text message displayed on the screen during the startup of your PC.

• First, you need to open the Registry editor, you can do this by typing ‘regedit’ in the search
• Open the Registry editor you find in the search results and there choose Grant permissions options
• Now using the bar on the left side of the window navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
• You can find two values named ‘legalnoticecaption’ and ‘legalnoticetext’ on the right side pane of the window.
• Double click on the legalnoticecaption option
• Now in the Value data field of the opened window, just enter the text that would like to see on the screen while your Windows startup and click on Ok.
• Legalnoticetext value is the actual text field which is placed below the legalnoticecaption field which is the title, but in this case the title itself is a message, so you can leave it blank or you can even fill them both with the title and text if you want
• Now just close everything and return to the desktop and restart your computer to witness the message that you have set up before displayed on the screen. You can change or remove the message from the Registry editor if you wish to.

QR Codes are an easy way of transferring data or information from one screen to the other. They offer easy transformation of various information like a newspaper ad, computer display screen, display window in a retail store. You can use these codes to send mail id, website address which offers the convenience of leading to that page without having to enter a single character.

This technique can also be implemented and used while sending emails. You can easily write and send a message inside a QR Code.  

This is a great option for those who feel it is boring to mail in the regular old style. When the person on the other side scans that code, the message that you have sent will open in the email program that he or she is using on their device ready to send a reply. They don’t have to hit the reply button, the reply button. And you can compose the QR that contains your text pretty easily and includes just a few steps.

  • First go to the website <a href=http://www.qrstuff.com/>QR Stuff</a>
  • Then choose the Email message option from the various options available on the left side of the screen.
  • Then it will show a form where you have to fill in the information in those boxes.
  • Just fill the mail address, subject and body boxes.
  • And finally, you just have to download the code for sending it to anyone. It can be done by simply clicking on the download QR Code option there.
  • That is it, you can share it now.

Just to give you a look at how it works, I have created a code here, just try scanning this code on your device.

Email

When you scan the code, it will show you two options copy and mail, click on the mail option and it will ask you which email program you want to use for opening that one, click on the one and it will open the mail ready to reply.

 

How to know the email status of your mail sent

by

It is the century of emails and messages and a lot of conversations are taking place over emails these days. Have you ever thought about the feature of knowing the status of our messages that we send, it is the most useful and convenient feature available these days. WhatsApp, the most popular messaging application has this feature. Think of this feature in email services, it is the most required thing, right? Yes, you can track the email status of the mail that you have sent. The process of tracking the status of the sent mail is pretty simple.

Email with an URL:

For knowing the email status whether it is opened and read by the user, here is a simple trick. If the mail you sent includes one or more hyperlinks then use this simple process for tracking that mail.

  • Then copy and paste the shortened URL in the mail that you would like to send
  • Now if the user on the other end opens the mail and click on the link then it will be captured which you can view
  • To view that just add a + sign at the end of the URL for example if your URL is https://goo.gl/61SzOY, then top know whether it is read or not, just go to https://goo.gl/61SzOY+
  • There you can see the number of clicks and you can even know the time at which the person clicked the link.

But what if your mail doesn’t have any kind of URLs and still you need this features, don’t worry there is another way if you are a Gmail user.

  • This works only for the Gmail users
  • When you are sending a mail through Gmail, then just check the request read receipt option while composing the mail.
  • You can find this option on the down right corner of your compose window under the more options icon.
  • You are done with your setup.

Note: As it is related to the privacy of the user, the other user on that end should allow their settings in a way that you can know that they read the mail.

  • If they agree to send the read receipt, then the sender’s message box is updated with the date and time that the user read the mail.

Using this simple process you can track the status of your sent mail.
