Few Simple Steps for New Orkut Users to Secure their Orkut Account

These are the few steps every Social Networking Person must follow to secure their Accounts from being hacked by someone else.
To Secure your account you must follow these simple steps

You need to go to the settings of your Orkut Account and then click on the privacy tab:

Steps To Secure Your Orkut Profile/Account

1) Restrict Access To Your Content

Allow only your friends to view and access your contents. This will help to keep strangers away from your profile. Scrapbook, videos and testimonials contains a lot of personal information, if accessed by others, may result in threats.

2) Friends Request By Known Persons

Under the friends request section, select the option “anyone who fits one of the following selected options” and then the first option will be automatically checked, leave the other two options as it is. This options will make sure that only your friends will be able to send you the friends request, only if they know your email address. This is an very important feature inOrkut’s security. After enabling this option, you will not get useless and irritating friends request from strangers.

3) Hide Cell Phone Number

If you verify your Orkut account or any other services related to Orkut, you cell phone number is automatically attached to your account. If you don’t want to invite any troubles, select “myself” in the options, as shown above.

4) Show Email Address Only To Friends

If you don’t want to be a winner of some lottery from South Africa or if you don’t want to buy cheap stuffs at a heavy discount, just show your email address only to your friends and no one else. Many of my friends who haven’t hidden their email address, received as many as 500 spam messages everyday.

5) Don’t Allow Others To Find You Through Email

You may have used your email address in thousands of forums as well as in many other websites. Any one who knows your email address can easily find you onOrkut . Hence it is recommended not to allow people to find you through your email address. Many of you may agree with this but there may be a large amount of people who would disagree as their long lost friends would not be able to find them on Orkut. The choice is yours.
Following these steps would definitely make your account much secure and you will no more receive unnecessary friends request. Parents can assure that, their kids are miles away from strangers.

Your Suggestion are always required.

How to Copy Locked Photos from Orkut

Yes it's still possible to copy the photos from Orkut.Here's a step-by-step procedure to copy the photo.
1. Login into your Orkut Account.
2. Goto your friend's album and open the photo that you need to copy.
3. Once the photo is loaded to it's full size just place the mouse cursor on the photo.
4. Press the left click button and drag and drop the photo onto the ADDRESS BAR. I think this trick is no longer working. So I have a new trick….
Just DRAG and DROP the PHOTO onto the current/new TAB (If you have IE 7). Alternatively you can also Drag and Drop the photo onto the Desktop. That's it. This trick is working now!!

4. Now the photo gets displayed seperately on your browser.
5. You can Right-Click and select the Save As option to save the photo onto your PC.
The browser also displays the direct link to the photo. This link can be used to share the Orkut photos with your friends without the need to login to your Orkut account to access photos.

Happy Orkut Hacking.
