How to create picture border in Photoshop

How to create picture border in Photoshop using 'Stroke'

By far the easiest method to add a simple border is by using the 'Stroke' command in Photoshop:

1. Selecting the entire photo (Select -> All)
2. Edit -> Stroke.
3. In "Location" box, select "inside"

Choose how wide you want the border to be in pixels, as well as what color.
The more pixels, the wider the border will be.

How to fix when Google Talk Freezes with Show current music track

When you activate "Show Current Music Track" in Gtalk while using Windows media player or Winamp 5.5 or higher versions, your Google Talk will freeze or stop responding

To overcome this problem there are two different methods, one for each type of player.
Note: Remember to close both Winamp or Media Player and Google Talk when doing this.

For Winamp 5.5 or Higher Versions :
  • Go to the root directory of Winamp (Usually in C:\Program Files\Winamp)
  • Select Tools -> Folder Options -> View (Tab) 
  • Uncheck the hide extensions for known file types and click Ok.
  • Create an empty file (Right click -> New -> Text document)
  • Name the file "winamp.m3u" and save.
For Windows Media Player :
If this problem occurs in Windows Media Player( WMP) it just needs an activation of the plugin.
  • Go to the Now Playing in your player.
  • Select Plugins -> Options
  • In the window select Plugins -> Background on the left side
  • Select Google Talk Music Plugin
  • Click OK and you are done.

Bring Misplaced Off-Screen Windows Back to Your Desktop (Keyboard Trick)

Set your "hidden" window to focus (using alt-tab for example), then press Alt+Space, then M, and then hit any of the arrow keys (Left, Right, Up or Down), move your mouse and the window should magically "pop" back onto the screen. This should work on any version of Windows.
Update: You can also right-click on the taskbar and choose to "Cascade" your open windows, which will often help bring the windows back onto the screen.
