javascript:void(document.oncontextmenu=null)

If there is no address bar because the item is opened in a new window, press f11 for a full screen and an address bar appears telling you where you are.
Simply paste in the javascript, press enter, and you have right-click re-enabled!!!!!

You rock. I love it. I'll either post this in our blog or as a new recipe soon. Good find.

I have almost filled up my iPOD through this method. Sure, you find some damaged and mislabelled files... but you experience that with P2P programs as well.

in Napster: Convert DRM WMA files to MP3s | Windows | Tech-Recipes on Tech-Recipes
<ul id="quote">I figured it out , but how do i know if i tell people how to do it on this post napster isn't listening and are going to figure out how to stop it?</ul>

That's the trick. You can't.

If want to be famous (infamous), you tell everybody how you did it. Better yet, you register, write a recipe about it. The blogs will pick it up... and your name will be spread far and wide.]

... and then napster will probably find a way to stop the program from working.

That's the way the world works! :)

We've checked them... and tons of people are looking at this. Your energy is appreciated, but right now the music loopholes are closed.

Log-in or leave an email address. If you honestly have web space, I bet somebody would still have a copy of the old version for you to post.

The new lame plug-in only makes conversion quicker/better. If Virtuosa is not working, changing the plug-in will not help.

<font color="blue">Edit: The hole in the system has been corrected and no longer seems to work. Winamp can not be used to convert files any longer.

The 14 day trial is still open. Another older program still works well for converting these files, however. You can read about that technique here:

They stopped the winamp trick.

Using virtuosa still works.

You have to actually download them...

and then drag the files from the windows folder into winamp.

warlock1711 of club cdfreaks responsed on slashdot...

As the originator (as far as I can tell) of this "hack" (I wouldn't call it that), it is absolutely amazing how quickly this got around. 4 weeks from post on cdfreaks, to worldwide news, and an article on slashdot. Yay to me.

Click here to see the original post I made on this [cdfreaks.com]

Anyhow, I hope you all are enjoying it. I merely wanted to transcode the files I had bought (3207 and climbing....) so I could load them on a non-WMA-aware MP3 player like any other piece of music I own. I certainly didn't intend for Napster to start a 14-day free trial, nor did I expect this method to get "out into the wild" (although, posting on the internet is no way to keep anything secret.....). I would like to take this moment and kindly remind you all that unless you actually *buy* some tracks, Napster loses money. Napster loses enough money, they'll fold shop. The artists will then get reamed by iTunes. Don't let it happen guys, lets at least try to be honest.

in How to Use Hijack This to Clean Spyware From Your System | Windows spyware | Tech-Recipes on Tech-Recipes
I completely agree with this recipe... especially after the system I just cleaned last night.

Laptop that took 25 minutes to boot... and 30 seconds to respond to something as simple as a left click.

HJ showed two to three spyware players and I used HJ to repair 4-6 entries as a whole. I booted to safe mode and deleted the parts that I could find.

With the computer running much better, I downloaded and ran adaware and spybot. 20-30 files and reg changes were found and removed by each of these programs. All of these were files and reg changes that I would have missed with HJ alone.

If I would have just used hijack to clean the system, the system would have likely reinfected itself in just a few minutes.

in XP SP2 Error: The page cannot be displayed | Windows | Tech-Recipes on Tech-Recipes
Post moved:

I have 2 computers at home both running Win XP. The both connect to the internet through my router using a cable modem. One of the computers has SP2 installed the other does not. The computer with SP2 installed cannot seem to access particular websites such as abc.com espn.com some www.wisc.edu links and others. The other computer connect to them all just fine. I have tried renewing my dhcp leases and flushing my dns cache and so on but nothing works. I also tries resetting the router. Same luck. Does anyone know what is causing this and how to fix it? Any input is greatly apprciated. Thanks

I've been looking for a good way to 'clean house' on W2K. My install was a couple of years old and getting flakey. My 'system resources' was jammed with tons of useless 'hiden' devices.

This article gets 10/5 stars... :D</ul>

I agree... this is a sweet little recipe.

btw, sweet php-nuke site you have there!
