I am very much sure that this trick will help you a lot. All you have to do is to edit your registry and add a new sub-key. Don't worry if you are not well familiar with the registry, i will give you full instructions and any help if needed.I already posted a lot of registry hacks, you can access all that from Registry Tricks category if you are interested in studying that.

Ok, leave all that now we can start this trick, Follow the steps:
