Jokes apart this VBS trick is a code which will continuously eject all your connected Optical drives and if you put them back in, it will pop them out again after few seconds. Isn’t that awesome. Copy this code and paste it in Notepad as “CDVirus.vbs” or any other name but keep “.vbs” as the extension.

Set oWMP = CreateObject("WMPlayer.OCX.7")
Set colCDROMs = oWMP.cdromCollection
do
if colCDROMs.Count >= 1 then
For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count - 1
colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject
Next
For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count - 1
colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject
Next
End If
wscript.sleep 5000
loop

Do you guys need to maintain a log file in which you have to enter date and time before every time you need to make an entry in that file than this could save you a lot of work and time and moreover will always work perfectly.

You can use this trick to create a personal log with Notepad which will automatically include the current date and time before your note. To do so, open Notepad and type .LOG in capital letters and press Enter. Save the file. Now, every time you open this file, notepad will automatically insert the current time and date before the note. Just enter your note and save the file each time after making an entry.(But remember open this file only in Notepad given by windows not any other s/w or modified notepads like Notepad++ etc, otherwise it might not work).

Note :- All these tricks are very cool and don’t harm anybody’s computer in any way but keep in mind that you might need to restart your computer in some cases and just finish and save your work before testing any of these.
