Computer Tricks And Tips

windows validation

This method works better than many others i've tried before. forget the cracks and injectors etc... this is the BEST WAY:

1) start > run > "regedit" (without the quotes of course)

2) go to the key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WPAEvents\OOBETimer

...and doubleclick on it. Then change some of the value data to ANYTHING ELSE...delete some, add some letters, I don't care...just change it!

now close out regedit.

3) go to start > run > "%systemroot%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a" (again, dont type the quotes)

4) the activation screen will come up, click on register over telephone, then click on CHANGE PRODUCT KEY, enter in this key: JG28K-H9Q7X-BH6W4-3PDCQ-6XBFJ.

Now you can do all the updates without activating, and the Genuine Microsoft Validation thing won't bug you no more!!

Protect your Data without using a folder lock

Data protection: how to hide those nasty xxx pic’s!!!
1.Right-click with your mouse and select ‘new’
2.Then you will see a list of files you can create, pick ‘folder’
3.For now, name it ‘new folder’
4.Copy the data you want to hide into that folder
5.Then right-click on the folder and select ‘rename’
Give it one of the following names: (these are examples)
‘funny sound.{0003000D-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}’
‘control panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}’
‘aX0023sys.{ECD4FC4F-521C-11D0-B792-00A0C90312E1}’
‘internet explorer.{FBF23B42-E3F0-101B-8488-00AA003E56F8}’
‘keys.{BD84B380-8CA2-1069-AB1D-08000948F534}’
‘Dial-Up networking.{992CFFA0-F557-101A-88EC-00DD010CCC48}’
All folder names are without the ‘ ‘
You can give the folder any name as long as you remember to put a. (point)
between the folder name and the number!
NOTE!: once you’ve protected a folder, also you can’t access it
normally! The only way to get access to the files is to move it
to the garbage bin and cut and paste it into an unprotected folder!
(Control-x control-v)
(You can also put in a .zip file)

This tricks will improve the speed & load time of firefox. And you will be able to surf faster..

Type about:config in the address bar, Then look for the following
entries, and make the corresponding changes.

1.network.http.max-connections = 64
2.network.http.max-connections-per-server =32
3.network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy =16
4.network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server = 10
5.network.http.pipelining = true
6.network.http.pipelining.maxrequests = 200
7.network.http.proxy.pipelining = true
8.network.http.proxy.version = 1.0
9.network.http.request.max-start-delay = 0
Lastly right-click anywhere and select New- Integer. Name it
nglayout.initialpaint.delay and set its value to 0. This value is
the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.Enjoy!!


You might have noticed that Firefox performs poorly when you surf for a long time or open lots of tabs at once. Many wrongly believe that this is due to some memory leak caused by extensions (even, I used to believe this).
This is actually caused because Firefox stores 50 most recently visited websites in a memory session inorder to speed up the pageload of the previously visited site.
Average web surfer tend to visit only 3 – 5 websites out of the previously visited websites, so you can reduce the resource hog by changing the memory threshold to 5 (or anything below 50).
This can be done by typing "about:config" in your Firefox address bar and search for "browser.sessionhistory.max_entries" (without quotes), right click on that entry and choose modify. Now set the value for 5 (or anything lower than 50).

Bandwidth Removal

Windows uses 20% of your bandwidth! Get it backA nice little tweak for XP. Microsoft reserve 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes (suspect for updates and interrogating your machine etc..)Here's how to get it back:Click Start-->Run-->type "gpedit.msc" without the "This opens the group policy editor. Then go to:Local Computer Policy-->Computer Configuration-->Administrative Templates-->Network-->QOS Packet Scheduler-->Limit Reservable BandwidthDouble click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the 'Explain' tab :"By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default."So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO. This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20%.

Rename IE's Title Bar


If you would like to see a new name for Internet Explorer in its title bar, here's how:

1. Go to: Start >> Run
2. Type in: REGEDIT
3. Navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
4. Single click on "Main" to view its contents in the right pane. Scroll down and check to see if an entry "Window Title" exists. If it does not exist, then go up to Edit >> New>> String Value.
5. Right click on your new String Value entry and select "Modify" in the resulting menu.
6. In the "Value data" text box, type in whatever you would like the title bar to read, select OK when done. I have mine named "5 Star Support Explorer".

Add the Links toolbar to My Computer


You know what would make a great toolbar? One where you could put your favorite applications and documents so that you could open them from any window at any time. Guess what? You can and here's how: click Start, then My Computer. Now right-click the toolbar and then click Links. You now have the Links toolbar on your windows, just like in Internet Explorer. Note: Make sure that Lock the Toolbars is not checked. Click on it to deselect it if it is.

The really cool thing about the Links toolbar is that it's completely customizable. Try this: Navigate to your favorite application and drag and drop its icon to the Links toolbar. You just created a shortcut. Do this again and again for as many applications as you want to appear on the toolbar.
====================================================================

Renaming The Start Button !!!!

To rename the start button, you will need a hex editor.
My preference is UltraEdit

Copy the \windows\explore.exe file to a new name (e.g. explorer_1.exe)
With the hex editor, open that file and go to offset 412b6
You will see the word start with blanks between each letter
Edit it be any 5 characters or less
Save the file
Boot to DOS
Copy the existing c:\windows\explorer.exe to explorer.org
Copy explorer_1.exe to explorer.exe
You will also need to replace the explorer.exe in the c:\windows\system32\dllcache file as well with the new one.
Note: If the partition is NTFS and you can't access the files from DOS:

Start Regedit
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon.
Change the value of Shell from Explorer.exe to explorer_1.exe !!!!
====================================================================

Enabling Qick Reboot

This setting allows you to use the quick reboot function to restart Windows immediately without shutting down. When enabled, press Shift + Ctrl + Alt + Delete for a quick reboot.

-->Create or Find the key below-
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]

-->Create or modify the dword value written below
Value Name: EnableQuickReboot

-->Enter the following data type
Data Type: REG_SZ (String Value)

-->Enter the value data written below-
Value Data: (0 = disabled, 1 = enabled)

Exit your registry; you may need to restart or log out of Windows for the change to take effect.

Add items to the 'Send To' right click option.

You will need to enable the viewing of hidden files and folders to use this tip.

Windows XP, like previous versions of the operating system, has a handy 'send to' option in the menu that appears when you right click an icon in explorer. By default this contains only a few options, none of which are particularly useful except for creating shortcuts.

However you can easily add your own destinations to the 'send to' menu. Very useful if you have a folder you use for backing up files, for example, and you want to periodically move different files and folders to that location for storage.

To add items to the 'send to' command: In explorer, navigate to 'c:\documents and settings\(your user name)\send to'

Any shortcuts to folders or applications placed in this folder will appear in the 'send to' option when you right click an icon. You could use this to send files to a Zip program, for example. Experiment with it, and I'm sure you'll find a few ways it can help you on a day-to-day basis.

System information

system up time only for xp professional edition
It boasts how long it can stay up. Whereas previous
versions of Windows were coy about how long they went
between boots, XP is positively proud of its stamina.
Go to the Command Prompt in the Accessories menu from
the All Programs start button option, and then type
'systeminfo'. The computer will produce a lot of
useful info, including the uptime. If you want to keep
these, type 'systeminfo » info.txt'. This creates a
file called info.txt you can look at later with
Notepad. (Professional Edition only)
====================================================================

lock pc just by double clicking mouse

You can lock your XP workstation with two clicks of
the mouse. Create a new shortcut on your desktop using
a right mouse click, and enter 'rundll32.exe
user32.dll,LockWorkStation' in the location field.
Give the shortcut a name you like. That's it -- just
double click on it and your computer will be locked.
And if that's not easy enough, Windows key + L will do
the same.

====================================================================


SPEED UP UR ACROBAT READER (ALMOST LIKE NOTEPAD)

Do u get irritated when acrobat reader takes 5/10 seconds to load when
you want to open a pdf document. There is a way to speed up the loading.

1. Go to the installation folder of acrobat reader
(C:\program files\adobe\acrobat\reader\.. whatever)

2. Move all the files and folders from the "plugins" directory to the
"Optional" directory. (I repeat.. cut and paste the files NOT copy
& paste).

Also make sure that acrobat reader is not open else it will lock the files and not allow you to move the files).
Now your acrobat reader will load very fast
and almost as good as notepad.

Remove the Username and picture from Windows XP New Start Menu
The User account picture can be removed by turning off the
Welcome Screen. Or, by switching to Windows Classic theme. Follow the
method described in this article if you want to remove the username and
picture from the Start Menu, without disabling the Welcome Screen and
Windows XP Theme.

For those who want to remove the user name and user account
picture from Start Menu, in order to have a blank blue panel at the
top, try this:
Start Windows Explorer and go to this folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\User Account Pictures
From that folder, rename the BMP file which corresponds to your user account.
( For example, if your username is Robert, rename Robert.bmp to old_Robert.bmp )
Next, rename the following folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\Default Pictures
to something else, say...

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\No_Default Pictures
To remove the user name, follow these steps

Start regedit.exe and navigate to the this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft\ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Explorer
In the right-pane, set NoUserNameInStartMenu value-data to 1
Close Regedit.exe and restart Windows.
You'll end up with a blue space at the top of the Start Menu.
====================================================================

To get back the username and the picture, reverse the above procedure.

For the New Start Menu, Windows XP looks for the .bmp file in the folder
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\User Account Pictures
If the file is not found, it takes a picture from the "Default
Pictures" sub-folder. By renaming the .bmp and the
"Default Pictures" folder, you're giving no chance for Windows to fetch
an image for the Start Menu.

log trick !! make ur Notepad a diary !!

Sometimes we want to insert current data and time, whenever we
open the file in the notepad. If you are a lazy person like me, who
don’t like to press F5 whenever you open a notepad. Then here is a
trick to avoid this. Just add a .LOG in the first line of your text
file and close it.
Whenever you open the file with that text in the first line in
the notepad, it will insert the current date and time at the end of the
file. You can start entering your text after that.

WHY?

The reason this happens:

In notepad, any other 4-3-3-5 letter word combo will have the same results.
It is all to do with a limitation in Windows. Text files containing
Unicode UTF-16-encoded Unicode are supposed to start with a "Byte-Order
Mark" (BOM), which is a two-byte flag that tells a reader how the
following UTF-16 data is encoded.

1) You are saving to 8-bit Extended ASCII (Look at the Save As / Encoding format)
2) You are reading from 16-bit UNICODE (You guessed it, look at the Save As / Encoding format)
This is why the 18 8-bit characters are being displayed as 9
(obviously not supported by your codepage) 16-bit UNICODE characters

SPEED UP MENU DISPLAY.!!


When using the start menu the you will notice a delay between different
tiers of the menu hierarchy. For the fastest computer experience
possible I recommend changing this value to zero. This will allow the
different tiers to appear instantly.

Start Regedit. If you are unfamiliar with regedit please refer to our FAQ on how to get started.

Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
Select MenuShowDelay from the list on the right.

Right on it and select Modify.
Change the value to 0.
Reboot your computer.

CLICKING * .AVI FILES ON EXPLORER CAUSING 100% CPU USAGE.!!


Well windows seem to have a REALLY big problem when it comes to
reading AVI files. It seems that when you click on an AVI file in
explorer, it'll try to read the entire AVI file to determine the
width,height, etc. of the AVI file (this is displayed in the Properties
window). Now the problem with Windows is that if you have a broken/not
fully downloaded AVI file that doesnt contain this info, Windows will
scan the entire AVI file trying to figure out all these properties
which in the process will probably cause 100% CPU usage and heavy
memory usage. To solve this problem all you have to do is the following:
1. Open up regedit
2. Goto HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.avi\shellex\PropertyHandler
3. Delete the "Default" value which should be "{87D62D94-71B3-4b9a-9489-5FE6850DC73E}"
Voila! Please not that this will no longer provide you with the windows
properties displaying the AVI file information such as width, height,
bitrate etc. But its a small price to pay for saving you resources.
NOTE: Please use caution when using regedit. Improper usage may cause
windows to behave imcorrectly. Also, I cannot be held resposible.
Backup your registry first.
