0 How to write your NAME near system clock on windows

Today I m going to tell you one of my own invented tricks with windows and that is to write your name (or any other small text) near system clock. Just like this
As you see in above picture that their is my name written next to the system clock. Here I m going to explain how to do this on your own computer.

Warning: This is a registry hack, do not try this until you are not sure what you are doing.

To make your system clock have your desired text just import this registry key and restart your system:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International]
"sTimeFormat"="(sometext)   h:mm:ss tt"

Copy and paste it to a text file and save it with extension ".reg" (without quotes) just edit the "(sometext)" text in 2nd line to what ever text you like to display but keep it short.
Now double click and import it to your registry and then restart after you restart your computer you will have your system clock decorated with your text.

You can alternativaly download the registry file from this link and then edit and import it to your registry and you are done. Enjoy.

4. open your Sothink SWF decompiler... click "Quick Open" then browse where you download your SWF/movie file. Click Export FLA to export your SWF to FLA, in short, save it as FLA icon_smile.gif

5. Open your Macromedia FLash and open the saved FLA file. press Control+Enter or publish the file... then wallah! the output window will come up with "Error opening URL blah blah blah..." dont panic, that error will help you where to get the remaining files.

6. Copy the first error, example: "7045_main.html" then go back to your browser and replace the 7045.swf to 7045_main.html press enter and you'll see a lot of text... nonsense text icon_lol.gif that text are your contents...

NOTE: when you save the remaining files dont forget to save with underscore sign (_) in the front on the file without the TM item number (e.g. 7045) if it is html save it as "_main.html" and same with the image save it as "_works1.jpg" save them where you save the FLA and SWF files. Continue browsing the file inside Flash application so you can track the remaining files... do the same until you finish downloading all the remaining the files.
