4. How to set the PATH variable in Windows: 

a.  First obtain the path for each of the tool's bin directory as follows  

for XP: (indicative)

for 7: (again indicative)

do the above for each tool separately save them in a notepad file.

b.  Now open the properties of your computer, by right clicking the icon:

for XP:

for Win 7:

c.  Now add the paths you previously obtained in the PATH variable separated by semicolons ";" and then logout and login again.

This should make your tools usable as they did in my case. Now you may work from any directory and create your programs.

IDM extensions for Chrome, firefox and mozilla based browsers

<<8 Nov 2013...Updated>>
Often enough you watch a video online and wonder how to download it to your computer or download a file and think as to how can you increase the download speeds?

Yes? Are you one among them? Then your answer is invariably Internet Download Manager. With the IDM guys rolling out version 6.14 with blazing fast speeds, you must all the more be excited to lay your hands on it.

Now I hear: "Ok dude I got it, but, it doesn't work for me. My IDM wouldn't catch the video I play or the downloads I try to start."

Here is Bane's solution:

Symptom:

IDM is not able to catch the downloads when I click on download links and also just wouldn't recognize the videos that I play.

Cause:

If there is no problem with your IDM installation then in the most probable case your IDM integration extensions for your Browsers are either outdated or absent.

Solution:

Simple. Download the IDM integration extensions from the links provided below and add them to your browsers. Voila ! after you restart your browsers you are done ! Now download as much as you wish.

For Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla based browsers:

Click on the link below to download the .xpi file to your computer.

>>>Click here to download the .xpi file<<<

After you have downloaded the file, simply drag and drop it in your mozilla based browser and it will ask you to allow installation. Once the installation is complete restart your mozilla based browser and you have configured your browser properly.

For Chrome and chromium based browsers:

Click on the link below to download the .crx file to your computer.

>>>http://www.mediafire.com/download/k57kya7xu3yycem/IDMGCExt.crx<<<

Drag and drop this file into your chrome browser's settings->extensions page and the browser will ask if you want to add it. Allow the installation and restart the browser. And you have configured the browser correctly.

I sincerely believe that your problem with IDM and your browser is solved. Keep reading my blog for more solutions or mail me your problem at my mailing address.
