Titlebar Tweaks is a Firefox plugin which let user change the title bar for different format. For example, you can set the title to “My browser”.
User can change the title to any text they want, or they can change the format of the title bar. For example, the default format is “Webpage title – Browser Name”. But, user can change the title format to display either webpage title only or browser name only, or display both, with different order.
After download the plugin, go to your Firefox->Tools->Add-ons and choose Titlebar Tweaks. After that, you can start changing your Firefox titlebar.
Install this plugin in your office computer. You can then change the title of Firefox so that your boss/friends don’t know the page title. But, if your office computer comes with any logging aplications, your admin still can find out your internet activities.

This tutorial will discuss how to create a “hidden” folder with a blank name and no icon, so that nobody will know the existence of that folder.
There are a lot of methods to make your folder invisible. The easiest way is to set the property “hidden” to true. Else, you can get some softwares to do it for you. Now, i would like to discuss another method.
Step 1
Right click on anywhere and choose New -> Folder.
Step 2
Rename the folder. When you rename, delete the original name, hold your “alt” key and press “0160“. This will create a blank name for your folder.
Step 3
After that, right click on your folder and choose Properties. Choose Customize and then press Change Icon button. Select a blank icon from the list. Now, you had successfully create a hidden folder.
People will not know the existence of the folder, even they set to view invisible folder. This is because your folder has no icon and no name!
My advise
Try to put the hidden folder at the middle of your desktop, so that no one will accidentally select them. To make your folder more secure, you can check the “hidden” property.

PixelCryptor is a free application which can encrypt any files by using an image. You need the same image to decrypt the package.
I had cover a tutorial before, which teach you how to hide a text file in an image. Now, this powerful application can encrypt anyting by using an image file, and export the result as a single package file (.cgp). You need the same image in order to decrypt the package.
The application’s interface is very simple. To encrypt files, choose Encode Files -> add files -> choose an image as your encryption key -> choose the encrypted package name. To decrypt, follow the similar steps by choosing Decode Files.
This application is very suitable for users who want to encrypt files with fast and easy. Compare to other professional encryption software like Truecrypt, i think this PixelCrypt is more suitable for computer novice as it doesn’t have much settings.

This tutorial will discuss about how to hide a text file in a jpeg/bitmap image file. It can be done without any other application.
Sometimes, we save our email-account and password inside a text file, but we scare other people get the file and then access our email. So, we always thinking method to protect our own password. We may use some password manager to save all the password with a master password. But, what happen is we lost the master password or other people manage to hack the master password? So, why not we hide the important information inside an image file?
How it work?
- First of all, you need to save your informations in a text file and then prepare an image (either jpeg or bitmap format). In this example, i will user secret.txt as my text file and photo.jpg as my image file.
- Put the text document and image together. Here, i put them in my C: drive.
- Go to Run, the type cmd. This will bring you to the command prompt.
- Now, type cd\ to go to the root. In this case, the root is C:. You can proceed to the next step if you save your image and text file in C: drive. But, if you save them in other folder, such as c:\testing, you need to type cd\testing to go into the folder.
- Now, you reach the most important part. Type copy photo.jpg/B+secret.txt/B output.jpg. The image file need to come first. If you put your text file before image file, the output image file maybe cannot open properly. Beside this, the input image and output image must be same format (either both in jpeg or both in bitmap).
- Now, try to open the output.jpg using any image viewer. Looks no different with photo.jpg right?
- Now, try to open output.jpg using notepad, you will found the secret.txt contents inside.
Now, your informations are safe enough, because you are the only person which know which image contains the informations. Even they can access the file, they won’t open an image with notepad, right?
Advice: It is better to choose smaller size image, else you need longer time to open it using notepad.
