Remapping keyboard keys in vista

I had some technical problem with my keyboard in my laptop. The space bar in the keyboard is not working fine and so had to look alternatives for that. Getting the keyboard repaired will take time as i couldn't move anywhere for next one week due my busy schedule.

So i thought of remapping the application key in keyboard to space bar. Searched in site and found various options but nothing worked fine as I couldn't map the application key. At last by various iterations of search I found that registry editing is the best way to do that. 

First came through the site that says how to edit the registry 

Remap the Keyboard in Windows XP

but it did not work for me as I don't know the registry value of the application key(as i never knew that they call this key as so)

So went to research still more and got the details as

Windows 2003 Resource Kit has a handy utility called "Remapkey.exe", which will make the Registry changes for you and this works for Vista also.

We can download it from Microsoft website itself.

Now my problem solved and i am using my application key as my space bar temporarily

Digging out email IDs

Hi, 

One of the day to day activity for any business development is the lead generation. Here is the ways to get the information about how we do the information search for the contacts for the prospect.

1.Get a the name of the prospect first from the google search from the niche needed.

2.You can find the contact information about the decision maker of the company from  the site itself in most cases.

3.If not search for the news and updates from the search engine for these companies so that you will atleast find the name of some major decision makers. 

4.Use the name and find their email ID and other details from the search engines.

5.If you could not find the emailId find any other emailID of the comapny say XYZ@WXY.com use this pattern to  find how the first name and last name of the person used for the company mail ID.

6.Use  http://www.mailtester.com and use the same pattern to find if the mail ID exists or  not and if not change the pattern reasonably.

7.If the server allows email ID verification then you are lucky. You got the email ID other wise you need to go the other way like calling those people and getting their emailID

8.We can also use some the Service providers to get the information of the admin like (use WHOIS search link in these links)

http://www.whois.ws/

http://www.networksolutions.com/

http://www.godaddy.com/

9.Or become a part of some professional socialisation sites like LinkedIn or FaceBook to know the details from the contacts. 

These are some of the simple ways to get the information on the prospects and there are so many other ways also.If you know some addtional ways then you can comment on  it.

Thanks for listening
