Websites and Words That Are Blocked in China
Websites and Words That Are Blocked in China
There are generally two kinds of internet censorship in China – they either completely block a website from users or they instruct local search engines to modify search results for certain keywords.
For instance, sites like IMDB and BBC are inaccessible from within China and some of them may not even appear in the search results of local search engines like Baidu or Sohu. The next form of censorship is keyword based. If you search for a censored keyword (say “Human Rights”) in a Chinese search engine, you’ll see few or no results.

"Registry editing has been disabled by your administrator" Error
Error “Registry editing has been disabled by your administrator” when you open the Registry Editor in Windows Vista
When you attempt to start the Registry Editor (regedit.exe) in your Windows Vista system, you may receive the following message:
Registry editing has been disabled by your administrator
If the above error message is shown in a standalone system, then it may be a result of Malware infection. It is also possible that the DisableRegistryTools policy had been enabled by a third-party tweak program which you may be using. It’s highly advisable to follow up with a complete system checkup for Virus and Malware, especially when you’re unsure about the cause.
Note: If your system is connected to a domain, your network administrator may have enabled the DisableRegistryTools Policy setting. In that case, you’ll need to contact the network administrator to relax this restriction, if need be.
Method 1 – Using Group Policy Editor
If you are using an edition of Windows Vista (Windows Vista Business, Enterprise and Ultimate editions) which includes the Group Policy Editor, follow these steps:
Click Start, type gpedit.msc in the Search box, and press ENTER
Go to the following branch:
User Configuration | Administrative Templates | System
Double-click Prevent access to registry editing tools
Set it as Not Configured
Important: If it’s already set to Not Configured, set it to Enabled and click Apply. Then repeat the steps and revert the setting back to Not Configured. This removes the registry based policy if set already.
Method 2
This method should work in all editions of Windows Vista.
Copy the below code & paste in Notepad. Save the file on Desktop & name it reg_enable.vbs.
| ‘Copyright © 2010 Cyber KGB. All rights reserved. ”Description: Resets the “Prevent access to registry editing tools” ‘ Policy in Windows Vista. If UAC is enabled, this script needs to ‘ be run from an elevated Command Prompt. ‘Compatibility: This script was tested under Windows Vista only. Option Explicit Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”) For Each objItem in colItems Set objAccount = objWMIService.Get _ If trim(strSID) “” then |
Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click
All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow.
Switch to your Desktop directory by typing the following command, and then pressing ENTER:
| cd /d %userprofile%\desktop |
Then, type the following command and press ENTER
| wscript.exe reg_enable.vbs |
Type EXIT to close the Command Prompt window.
If everything worked fine, the DisableRegistryTools policy should have been removed by now. See if you’re able to launch Regedit.exe now

Expand the YouTube Video Player to its Maximum Size within the Browser
Expand the YouTube Video Player to its Maximum Size within the Browser (Not Full Screen)
The default full screen button in the YouTube video player expands the video such that it covers your entire desktop area and all existing windows on the screen stay hidden as long as you are watching the video is this “maximized” state.
But what if you want more control over the size of the YouTube video player, here’s a simple hack – just replace the word “watch” in the URL of any YouTube video with “watch_popup” and the video will expand to fit your browser window, not the desktop.
For instance, if the original YouTube video is located at ..
youtube.com/watch?v=2mrRvUNlq50
the same video can be accessed standalone outside the YouTube website at..
youtube.com/watch_popup?v=2mrRvUNlq50
Resizing the browser window will also resize the YouTube player and you can press F11 in Firefox to mimic YouTube’s full screen mode even with this hack.

Login into Facebook With Your Google or Yahoo Account automatically
Login into Facebook With Your Google or Yahoo Account automatically
You can now link both your Google Account (including Gmail) and Yahoo ID with your Facebook profile.
The advantage of linking you other online accounts with Facebook is that if you are signed-in into any of the above services, you’ll automatically be logged into Facebook as well. So for example, if you working in Google Docs or writing scraps in Orkut and then decide to open Facebook in another tab, you won’t see the Facebook sign-in screen anymore.
To set up this association between Facebook and Yahoo/Google Accounts, just go to Facebook -> Accounts Settings and click “Add a new linked account“.
Facebook lets you link only one account per web service so choose the ID that you use most frequently on the web.
Click ALLOW , when you see the above message.
