HP printer spooling error

Sometimes the documents to be printed in queue are not able to get removed. You may try to hard reset the printer but it usually so happens that even after restarting the queue remains and and subsequent documents to be printed stay on the queue.
use this script to remove the spooling error you may get trying to remove documents from printing.

@echo off
net stop "print spooler"
del /q "%SystemRoot%\system32\spool\PRINTERS\*.*"
net start "print spooler"
ping localhost -n 5 > nul

save the above script in a .BAT file and run it.

Set Gtalk status message to your current music track

Following are the steps:

1. Set your status message in GTalk to "Show current music track".
2. Open Windows Media Player and go to Tools.
3. Go to Plug-ins->options.
4. Under the plug-in tab look for the category "Background".
5. Check "Google talk music plugin".

That's it you are done.
GTalk doesn't work with VLC media player. :(
