jQuery Smooth Scrolling on Page Load with Highlight

Download small jQuery script for smooth scrolling on page load when url content hash value.

This post is about performing a smooth scroll on page load with highlighting that particular element only when user coming from another website and url contain hash.
By default clicking on hash links window automatically, scroll to that element which has id value equal to hash value. This script will perform the same on page load with smooth scroll and highlighting element using background color.

To avoid the use of jQuery UI we are using CSS animation and target pseudo selector.

Hide Folder with Batch File and CLSID

This post is about hiding a folder in Windows using command prompt and CLSID.
This trick also work with windows 7 and Windows 8.

Commonly we use some encryption software to lock the secure data like Folder Lock but this trick is for hiding some private stuff ;) if you want to avoid direct access to folder.

Now we will create two batch files (available for download at bottom) one will hide the folder and another will unlock the folder using a secure word you can say password.

The technique is very simple we will change properties of locker folder completely same as some system folder, using windows commands. Therefore, accessing the locked folder will result in system file instead of actual folder path and making batch files of these commands will make lock and unlock process very easy.

jQuery Smooth Scroll to Top Button

Without taking your too much time I'll first let you know, this button is simple anchor tag and clicking on this will take user to top of your web page. Perhaps user can prefer space-bar but still useful for some users.

By default in HTML you can put an anchor tag with href value of #top it works fine, to make it more decorative you need to put few lines of jQuery so it will smoothly scroll the window to top.

I am using jQuery to animate the window so you need to include jQuery at your web page.
