CREATING MULTIPLE SKYPE ACCOUNTS
- Navigate to the Skype folder. Usually something like: C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone
- Right click on Skype.exe > Click Create shortcut. If necessary save the shortcut to the Desktop
- Right click on the newly created shortcut > Click Rename and give the shortcut an appropriate name (e.g. Personal)
- Once again right click on the shortcut > Click Properties and enter the following into the Target field, changing USERNAME and PASSWORD for your Skype username and password:
"C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" /secondary /nosplash /username=USERNAME /password=PASSWORD /legacylogin
***Note – Make sure this is pasted without any line breaks
/legacylogin is only necessary for Windows XP and Vista - Change the Run field to Minimized
- Click Apply and then Click OK
- Repeat the process above for any other Skype accounts you have
- Finally, right click on each of the shortcuts created and Click Pin to Taskbar
- Your shortcuts should now be operational
“C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe” /secondary
/legacylogin
The first part of the command is the full path to the Skype programme and must be surrounded with inverted commas.
The first command option is /secondary. This option allows you to open an additional instance of Skype.
The second command option is /nosplash. This option prevents Skype’s splash screen displaying on start-up.
The third command option is /username. This option allows you to set your username.
The forth command option is /password. This option allows you to set your password.
The fifth command option is /legacylogin. This option has become necessary since Skype 5.5.0.113 on Windows XP and Windows Vista
1-Reset Windows Password
Forgot your administrator password? Don't panic, it happens to some other people too, and you have found the solution! The following instructions will show you step-by-step how to reset your local Windows password. This only works for local user accounts, however, not domain accounts.The password recovery tool from this page is written by Petter Nordahl-Hagen, and the original information, as well as the downloadable tool, can be found from his website. According to the author, this tool should work for Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista.
WARNING! Users who have EFS encrypted files on the Windows XP or Vista computers will loose access to the EFS encrypted files after recovery of your password!
Use this trick at your own risks
The tool to reset your password can be downloaded here.
I. Download the bootdisk:
- Download the bootdisk, which includes the password recovery tool here. The file contains the ISO CD image.
- Unzip (extract) the ISO file and burn it to a CD. Note that this is an ISO file, you must burn it to CD as an ISO image, not as a "data" file. Also, the image is bootable, you need to burn the image to a CD using the image burning feature; do not extract the contents of the ISO and burn them to the CD, you'll end up with a CD that can't boot!
| II. Understanding the process: |
- You'll be asked for things like: which drive is the boot drive, which path to the SAM file, etc.. but don't worry, details will be provided.
- Once you have selected an account to reset the password, you'll need to type in a new password; however, it is highly recommended to use a BLANK password at this point, then you can change your password later in Windows.
- Follow the prompts to the end. You'll need to save the changes at the end!
Startup your computer with the bootdisk created above. You should see a welcome screen following with a prompt:III. OK! Enough talking. Here are the steps:
boot:
- Just wait, the bootup process will continute automatically. Then you should see a screen similar to this:
========================================================= . Step ONE: Select disk where the Windows installation is ========================================================= .... NT partitions found: 1 : /dev/sda1 4001MB Boot 2 : /dev/sda5 2148MB Please select partition by number or a = show all partitions, d = automatically load new disk drivers m = manually load new disk drivers l = relist NTFS/FAT partitions, q = quit Select: [1]
- Notice the last line "Select: [1]" which shows the [1] as default selection because the tool detected the bootup partition is [1]. This might be different on your own machine, so you should review the list shown under "NT partitions found:". The partition with the word "Boot" should be selected.
- Hit Enter once you confirm the selection. You should see a similar screen as follows:
========================================================= . Step TWO: Select PATH and registry files ========================================================= .... What is the path to the registry directory? (relative to windows disk) [windows/system32/config] :
- Notice the last line "[windows/system32/config]" which shows the default path. This was also detected by the tool. If the path is correct, hit Enter, or if you wish to enter a different path, enter it now then hit Enter.
Here are the paths for different versions of Windows:
- Windows NT 3.51: winnt35/system32/config
- Windows NT 4 and Windows 2000: winnt/system32/config

3-Any Folder as a Photo FolderThis tricks shows you how to setup any folder to display its contents as a photo folder. In many cases, you save your images/photos in a folder different than "My Pictures" (under "My Documents"). Since this folder you choose is just like any other normal folders, its contents displayed as a listing of files. You can temporary change it by just right-click and select "View" >> "Thumbnails". But if you want to change the folder so that everytime you come back, the folder itself, as well as all its subfolders, display the contents as photo thumbnails.Here's How   
5-Enable CD Recording Feature on Windows XPWindows XP comes with a builtin CD-copy feature that not many people are aware of. Although almost everyone has his/her favorite CD-copy software to stick with, it is still good to know about this CDR feature from Windows XP. You will find it very useful when you come to another PC that doesn't have a CD-copy software, and you can't just install your favorite software to it. With this feature, you can write some data or MP3 files to a CD/DVD, or erase a re-writable CD/DVD.Before you can burn a CD/DVD or erase a re-writable disc, you must enable the CD recording feature. This article will show you the steps how to do it... For information how to erase a CD-RW on Windows XP without using any other software, see this article . For information how copy files/folder to a CD on Windows XP without using any other software, see this article.
6-Erase a Re-writable CD/DVD in Windows XP without any SoftwareWindows XP comes with a builtin CD-copy feature, which let users do some quick CD/DVD burning tasks without using any other software.The information on this article will show you how to erase a CD-RW/DVD-RW without using any other software on Windows XP. You can do either a quick erase or a full erase. Once the CD/DVD is erased (or "formated"), it is considered "blank" and you can write new files/folders to it. Requirements: You need to enable the CD-R feature on Windows XP. If you haven't done so, see this article. Note: Besure to backup the data from your CD/DVD before proceed.
OpenNotepad orMS-Office (where you want save the text) andpaste the content there. Now you have the whole text in your notepad or Ms-Office.You can edit or format it and save only the required excerpt.
2). Press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC to open Windows Task Manager and click Processes tab and sort the list in descending order on Mem Usage. You will notice that WINWORD.EXE will be somewhere at the top, using multiple MBs of memory.
3). Now switch to Word and simply minimize it. (Don't use theMinimize All Windows option of the task bar).
4). Now go back to the Windows Task Manager and see whereWINWORD.EXE is listed. Most probably you will not find it at the top. You will typically have to scroll to the bottom of the list to find Word. Now check out the amount of RAM it is using. Surprised? The memory utilization has reduced by a huge amount.
5). Minimize each application that you are currently not working on by clicking on the Minimize button & you can increase the amount of available RAM by a substantial margin. Depending upon the number and type of applications you use together, the difference can be as much as 50 percent of extra RAM.
In any multitasking system, minimizing an application means that it won't be utilized by the user right now. Therefore, the OS automatically makes the application use virtual memory & keeps bare minimum amounts of the code in physical RAM.

"this is the largest line rate ever encoded onto a single light source,” said the scientists in the journal Nature Photonics. According to ZDNet, the experiment used a single laser to create a long range of pulses, which are known as ‘frequency combs’.
These pulses were then magnified into 325 colour channels via a method called
‘inverse fast Fourier transform,’ before being sent down a 50km cable. Once it
reached the other end, an optical fast Fourier transform encoded it back into
data.
According to a co-author of the journal Wolfgang Freude,However, the 26 Tbps data transfer is not actually the fastest. “Already a 100 terabits per second experiment has been demonstrated,” he said, adding that this required370 lasers, which is highly expensive.

How to Create a
folder named "CON" in Windows
you can't create a
folder named “con”, “prn”, “nul” “com1″ “com2″ “lpt1″ etc. in windows.
What is the reason for this? Simple, these names represent the internal devices and hence we cannot create folders with the above names. but it is possible to create these folder using command prompt... If you want to create then do following. 1) Go to command prompt 2) now if you want to create folder in D: drive then type following command in prompt : md \\.\d:\con
here “con” can be replaced by any other names such as “prn”, “nul” “com1″
“com2″ “lpt1"....
4) now if you want to delete this folder.. rd \\.\d:\con The folder can only be removed from command prompt.
create bootable
Pendrive to install Windows 7
Here is a small and
working tutorial to install windows
7 from a bootable USB or Pendrive.
These days most of them have a USB or Pendrive. So why don’t you try this trick. Installing Windows 7 using a pendrive is very much faster than that from DVD/CD. You just need to follow some small steps to do this. You can keep this pendrive/USB drive for future installation of Windows 7. Make sure you have a Pendrive or USB drive with a minimum of 4 GB space and you have the Windows 7 installation DVD. 1. Format the Pendrive or USB drive in NTFS format first. 2. From the start menu right click on the command prompt and select “Run as administrator“. 3. Now type the following commands (Press enter key after each command). 4. diskpart. This is to open the disk partition program. 5. Now to show the list of drives type list disk. 6. You can see disk’s listed there. Note down the disk number of your pendrive eg. Disk . 7. Now type SELECT DISK X (where X is the number you noted down for the pendrive from step 5) 8. Now type CLEAN. 9. Now type the following commands by pressing enter after each one. 10. CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY 11. SELECT PARTITION 1 (Assuming your pendrive/ USB drive is 1). 12. ACTIVE 13. FORMAT FS=NTFS 14. ASSIGN 15. EXIT(Now the disk partition program will exit).
Now we need to give some more commands
16. Now insert the Windows 7 Installation DVD and to your DVD drive. 17. Here i am assuming DVD drive as G and Pendrive as 18. Now type G:CD BOOT 19. Now type this command BOOTSECT.EXE/NT60 I: to update your USB drive with bootmgr code. 20. Finally copy all the contents from the Windows 7 DVD to your Pendrive. Make sure you don’t cause any errors. 21. Plug / Insert your pendrive to your PC and restart the system. 22. Now Enter the Bios system accordingly by pressing the key delete.(This may vary some times it will be F2 or F12. It depends on the type of your system. Any how during the start up your system will display which key to press to enter the Bios). 23. Now select the USB/ Pendrive as the first boot driver.(Set the first boot priority to USB drive.). 24. Now save the settings in Bios and restart and you will be able to Install Windows 7 using that pendrive.

What is "web
spoofing"?
Web Spoofing is Tricking Someone into visiting a
Website other than one they intend to visit ,by creating a similar website.
The attacker must somehow lure the victim into the attacker’s false web.
There are several ways to do this.
STEP 1:
1.
A Phisher could insert a malicious script inside a product review
to attack the user.
2.
The Script would modify the host site so that the user believes
he/she is interacting with secure site.
3.
This technique is also called as “Cross Scripting.”
Step : 2 :Rewriting the URL:
1.
Assuming the attacker’s server is on the machine www.attacker.org,
the attacker rewrites a URL by adding http://www.attacker.org to the
front of the URL.
2.
Example:
3.
http://home.netscape.com
www.attacker.com/http://home.netscape.com
STEP:3
1.
Once the attacker’s server has fetched the real document needed to
satisfy the request, the attacker rewrites all of the URLs in the document
2.
Then the attacker’s server provides the rewritten page to the
victim’s browser.
3.
If the victim follows a link on the new page, the victim remains
trapped in the attacker’s false we
its working is shown as above..
How to set minimum
password length in windows os
By default Windows accepts both short and long
passwords as the Windows login password. Some users use extremely short
passwords, which can easily be brute forced. So in order to set the minimum
number of characters or the minimum length of the password, simply follow the
following registry trick-:
1. Launch the Windows Registry Editor i.e. c:\windows\regedit.exe 2. Scroll down to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Network 3. Click on Edit > New DWORD Value. Name this new DWORD value as MinPwdLen and in the data field, enter the minimum number of characters the password has to be of. One thing to note here is that this value is in Hexadecimal. Now, Press F5 and your system just became a tiny bit securer but certainly not unhackable.

How to create a
"fork bomb"
A fork bomb generally
creates two instances at start up, further each of created processes creates
two instances and so on…The processes recursively fork; this “forks” the
processor and jamm it completely until a crash occurs. It use forks to do
system crash, so its called Fork Bomb.
See, How to create it: 1. Fork Bomb for windows: Write the following code in notepad and save it with bat extension say fork.bat %0|%0 Once anyone will do double click on this bat file, his system will jamm. 2. Fork Bomb for linux/Unix: :(){ :|:& };:
Find who is
Invisible on yahoo messanger
Sometimes some of your friends who appear
offline in yahoo messenger may not be actually offline,they may in the
'Invisible' mode.This maybe if they are trying to ignore you or are too busy to
talk to anyone
There is this small trick that you can use to find out what the truth is. Firstly open your yahoo messenger main window and double click on the name of the person whom you want to check.The chat window will open obviously. Click IMVironment button, select See all IMVironments, select Yahoo! Tools or Interactive Fun, and click on Doodle. After loading the Doodle imvironment there can be two possibilities 1.If the user is offline Doodle are will show this "waiting for your friend to load Doodle" continuously. 2. If the user is online (but in invisible mode), after few seconds (it can take up to one minute, depending on your connection speed), you should get a blank page.So you know that the user is online.
The Structure of a
Virus
Every viable computer virus must have at least two basic parts, or
subroutines, if it is even to be called a virus.
Firstly, it must contain a search routine, which
locates new files or new disks which are worthwhile targets for infection. This
routine will determine how well the virus reproduces, e.g., whether it does so
quicklyor slowly, whether it can infect multiple disks or a single disk, and
whether it can infect every portion of a disk or just certain specific areas.
As with all programs, there is a size versus functionality tradeoff here. The more sophisticated
the search routine is, the more space it will take up. So although an efficient
search routine may help a virus to spread faster, it will make the virus
bigger.
Secondly, every computer virus must contain a routine to copy itself into the program which the
search routine locates. The copy routine will only be sophisticated enough to
do its job without getting caught. The smaller it is, the better. How small it
can be will depend on how complex a virus it must copy, and what the target is. For example, a virus which infects
only COM files can get by with a much smaller copy routine than a virus which
infects EXE files. This is because the EXE file structure is much more complex,
so the virus must do more to attach itself to an EXE file. In addition to
search and copy mechanisms, computer viruses often
contain anti-detection
routines, or anti-anti-virus routines. These range in complexity from
something that merely keeps the date on a file the same when a virus infects
it, to complex routines that camouflage
viruses and trick specific anti-virus programs into believing they’re not
there, or routines which turn the anti-virus they attack into a logic bomb
itself.

Error Reporting
in XP
If
error reporting in XP is bugging you then turn it off.
When a system error occurs in XP, a little dialog box appears asking if you want to report the error to Microsoft. Click the message box to make it disappear. You don't have to report the error if you don't want to and on today's "Call for Help" Leo shows you how to turn off the feature if you find it distracting. To disable error reporting, follow these directions:
1. Right-click My
Computer and choose Properties.
2. Click the Advanced tab on your System Properties dialog box. 3. Click the Error Reporting button on the Advanced tab. 4. Place a checkmark next to "Disable error reporting." 5. Leave the other radio button unchecked next to the text labeled, "But notify me when critical errors occur." 6. Click OK.

picture in that directory.to remove it go for following
step1 > open "WINDOWS
EXPLORER".
2>go to "TOOLS".
3>open "FOLDER OPTIONS".
4>go to "VIEW".
5>see 1st section "FILES &

6>click on the "DO NOT CACHE
THUMBNAILS".
now the thumbnail file will be removed from
Clean out the
prefetch folder :
Windows XP uses a
system called 'prefetch' to organize and preload some of the data necessary for
commonly used applications and files. A folder called prefetch is used to store
the information the operating system needs to carry out this operation.
After several months of use, the prefetch folder may become quite overloaded with older references to software and files that may no longer be in use.It's a good idea to manually empty the older files out of the prefetch folder every few months or so. To do this: Navigate to 'c:\windows\prefetch' and delete all . PF files that are older than a week or two.
Keeping the
Windows XP Core in the RAM
If you have 512 MB
or more of RAM, you can increase system performance by having the Windows XP
'Core' kept in the RAM instead of paged on the hard disk.
Go to Start -> Run - Type regedit and press enter - On the left hand side tree, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\ - On the list on the right side, look for an entry called 'DisablePagingExecutive' - Double click it - Press 1 on your keyboard - Click OK - Exit regedit and reboot the computer To revert to the default setting, follow the same steps as above, but this time, press 0(zero) instead of 1 on the keyboard.

Disable CD
Burning
Exciting isn't it?
The user can't burn any CDs by this trick. This restriction will disable the use of the inbuilt CD recording functions of Windows. Open your registry and follow this path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Software>Microsoft>Windows>Current Version>Policies>Explorer and create this key: "NoCDBurning" and set its value to 1. Close you registry and logout/restart your system for the change to take the effect.
1) No context menu
What will you see when you right click on the desktop? You will see a context menu which says arrange icons, refresh,..and so on. Are you angry at your friend for not wishing you for you B'day? Do you wanna play a trick on a newbie in your family who is new to computers? This is a cool trick to play. By this tweak, you will be able to disable the right click on the desktop or any icons/files/folders/applications... But right click will work on taskbar of the start button and registry. So, dont worry!!! Open your registry and you will see all unknown files like HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT....... and so on. Don't panic. Follow this path. HKEY_CURRENT_USER>SOFTWARE>MICROSOFT>WINDOWS>CURRENT VERSION>POLICIES>EXPLORER. On the right side of the registry, you will see two files(in general) named 'default' and 'NoDriveTypeAutoRun'. Right click on the empty space in the registry and goto New>DWORD VALUE and name it as "NoViewContextMenu". Remember, no spaces and N,V,C,M should be capitals. Right click on this and click modify. The default value will be 0. Change it to 1. Note: DONOT CHANGE THE HEXADECIMAL TO DECIMAL. Click OK. Close your registry and logout. Bingo!!! Once you login again, right click wont work. Your friend will be perplexed and the next thing he/she does is call the system administrator not knowing that not all system administrators will be knowing about registry. Now, to enable it again. follow the same path and set the value to 0. Logout and then login to see the effect. 2) Reverse the mouse buttons This is a cool trick to play on newbies. Actually, there are two ways to do this. One is changing the settings in the Control panel and the other is through editing registry. You can do it either way. But I prefer the second way, which is challenging. (i) Through Control Panel - goto Start> Control Panel> Printers and other hardware> Mouse. In Button configuration, enable the switch primary and secondary buttons option and click OK. But remember, you have just swapped the mouse buttons. So, for OK, you have to click the right mouse button. The newbie will be perplexed. Well, this trick is good for left handers. (ii) Editing the registry - By default the left mouse button is the primary and the right is secondary. Open your registry and follow this path: HLEY_CURRENT_USER>Control Panel>Mouse and on the right side of the registry, create this String value(REG_SZ): 'SwapMouseButtons' and set its value to 1. Bingo!!! You are done. Log out/Restart the computer. You can try this: Combine tricks 1 and 2. That means, this will result in swapping of the mouse buttons and disabling the left click(once the buttons are swapped). User is ready to call system administrator cuz he feels that the system is behaving wildly.

fact in MICROSOFT WORD
Bill Gates still
doesn't know why it happens:
Try out yourself... Open Microsoft Word and type =rand(200,99) and then HIT ENTER....see what happens. it won't hurt Now, go back to your Word document. See the difference? Yes, now it has a blue background and when you type, the text will be all white. Try this for a few days and you should see a drastic change on the eye strain you've been experiencing. Try this for yourself and feel the difference!

Your hard drive must be formatted using NTFS (which it probably is unless you're dual booting with another operating system). Here's what to do... Right-click the folder that you want to make private and choose "Properties" (or Alt+Double-click). Go to the "Sharing" tab and check the "Make this folder private" box.  Click Apply . If you do not have a password on your account, a box will pop up asking if you want to assign a password. This must be done if you want to make the folder private, so click Yes . You will need to use your password to log on to your computer from then on. Type in a password then confirm it. Click the "Create Password" button then close the Password window. Click OK in the Properties dialog box. Now anyone else logged on to your computer can't access that file without knowing your password. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 if and confirm -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Make frnds scare
for VIRUS
Open notepad and
type this:
lol=msgbox ("Warning a virus has been detected on your PC. Press YES to format your hard disk now or press NO to format your hard disk after system reboot",20,"Warning") Then save it as Virus.VBS and go to the folder that contains it and open it if a window pops out saying a virus has been detected it's working. Press yes or no to close the window and put it in the startup folder of the victim's account. On startup the window should appear. Note: This does not harm your computer as it does not contain virus. The Yes and no button does not do anything except closing the window. And you can edit the virus in the sentence: Warning a virus has detected on your PC to any kind of virus eg.Trojan Horse like this lol=msgbox ("Warning a Trojan horse has been detected on your PC. Press YES to format your hard disk now or press NO to format format your hard disk after system reboot",20,"Warning") Oh in between make sure your victim does not panic and really reformat his harddisk. hahaha :) 35
FOLDER OPTION
missing
Many of us
sometimes find the folder options missing in windows explorer.
Here's the solution Open Run and then type "gpedit.msc". Now goto User Configuration > Administrative templates > Windows Component > Windows Explorer. Click on Windows Explorer you will find the 3rd option on the right side of screen "Removes the Folder Option menu item from the Tools menu" Just check it, if it is not configured then change it to enable by double clicking on it and after applying again set it to not configured. I hopes that you will find the option after restarting windows.

Xp GENUINE.!!
This will allow
you to bypass the Microsoft Genuine Validation thingythis method works better
than many others i've tried before.
forget the cracks and injectors etc... this is the 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 dl all the updates without activating, and the Genuine Microsoft Validation thingy won't bug you no more!! Works with most WinXP versions though ther r some exceptions...

background
movieeeeeee
This tweak will
launch WindowsMediaPlayer with the 'AboveNormal' priority setting when opening
a mediafile. Having trouble watching a movie when you also have a lot of
background processes going on? Here's what to do: 1. Create a new textfile in
the root of c:\, but instead of giving it the .txt extension you name it wmp_AboveNormal.bat
2. Right-click this file and choose 'Edit', you'll see it'll open notepad. Put
this line in: start /AboveNormal C:\"Program Files"\"Windows
Media Player"\wmplayer.exe %1 %* 3. Save (make sure you save it as .bat,
not as .txt) and close. Now all you have to do is register your mediafiles to
this batchfile. Here's how to do that: 4. In Windows Explorer choose
Tools>Folder Options >File Types 5. Scroll down(press A) to the AVI
filetype 6. Click 'Change' and point to c:\wmp_AboveNormal.bat . Click OK and
Close. Now everytime you dubbleclick an .avi WMP will open with the
'AboveNormal' -priority setting ! (Repeat steps 4-6 to register all mediatypes
you want to be opened this way.)
XP Animations
<-
You can turn off
window animation ("exploding" windows), displayed when you play
around with minimizing/maximizing open windows. This makes navigating Windows
95/98/ME/NT4/2000/XP a lot quicker, especially if you don't have a fast video
controller, or if you got tired of seeing it all the time (like I did).
smile.gif To do this,
run Regedit (or Regedt32) and go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER Control Panel Desktop WindowMetrics or if you are the only user of your Windows computer go to: HKEY_USERS .Default Control Panel Desktop WindowMetrics Right-click on an empty spot in the right hand pane. Select New -> String [REG_SZ] Value. Name it MinAnimate. Click OK. Double-click on "MinAnimate" and type 0 to turn OFF window animation or 1 to turn it ON. Click OK. Close the Registry Editor and restart Windows. Done.

you created in the "run" text box. It should now look like Code:
Code: "D:\windows mediaplayer\wmplayer.exe"K:\Playlists\smoothies.m3uthe text inside quotes is my WMP's path. It may vary for you. The text after WMP's path is the one to the playlist. Click OK and you're done.
Making Win Xp
60% Faster
Whenever you start
your computer, you are faced with a few moments of thumb twiddling while
Windows XP boots and prompts you to log on. Although you should expect to wait
for a few moments, sometimes Windows XP seems to boot rather slowly. In fact,
you may notice that over a period of time the PC that used to roar to life
seems a bit sluggish instead. Fortunately, you can perform several techniques
that help Windows XP get the bootup speed you want. This chapter explores how
to put these techniques to work.
Some of the things may already have been discussed in some threads earlier Stopping Unneeded Startup Services Along with the core operating system and programs that Windows XP runs when it starts, there is also a host of services involved. Many of these services are necessary for Windows XP to operate correctly. However, many of them are for features in Windows XP that you may not use at all. You can peruse the services and disable any service that you do not want to run. The fewer services that run, the more quickly Windows XP will boot. Caution: Exercise caution when stopping services. If you do not know what a service does or are unsure of the ramifications of stopping the service, leave it alone. Some services are critical to Windows XP's operations, so make sure you understand what the service is before you disable it. To reduce the number of services that start on bootup, you can access two different areas of Windows XP. The first is the System Configuration Utility. The Services tab shows you the services that start when the computer boots. You can stop a service from starting by simply clearing the check box next to the service and clicking OK. However, before you do so, there is another way to disable services that you may prefer because the interface gives you more information about the service in question. Open Control Panel/Administrative ToolsServices or else select Start/Run, type services.msc, and click OK. Either way, you see the Services console. I prefer to use the Services console instead of the System Configuration Utility because it describes what the service does. Additionally, you can double-click a service and examine its properties. Notice the Startup Type column in Figure 4-2. This information lists whether the service is automatic or manual. Manual services are only started in Windows XP when you start a process that requires the service. Some other process may require the service that has a "dependency" relationship with it; in this case, the dependency service will start, as well. Because these services do not start automatically when you boot Windows XP, you do not need to do anything with manual services. However, all services listed as automatic start when Windows XP boots. These are the services that increase boot time. As I have mentioned, many of them are necessary and important, so you should not stop automatic services from booting unless you are sure of the ramifications. You can get this information by looking at the Description column. Here's a quick look at common services you may want to live without: Automatic Updates: This service enables Windows XP to check the Web automatically for updates. If you don't want to use Automatic Updates, you can disable the service. You can always check for updates manually at the Windows Update Web site. Computer Browser: If your computer is not on a network, you don't need this service. If you are on a network, leave it alone. DHCP Client: If you are not on a network, you do not need this service. If you are on a small workgroup, you can still increase boot time by configuring manual IP addresses (which I explore later in this chapter). DNS Client: If you are not on a network, you do not need this service. If you are, leave it alone. Error Reporting and Event Log: You don't have to use these services but they can be very helpful, so I would leave them configured as automatic. Fax: If you don't use your computer for fax services, you can disable this one. Help and Support: If you never use the Windows XP Help and IMAPI CD-Burning COM: This service enables you to burn CDs on your computer. If you never burn CDs, you can disable the service. Indexing Service: Your computer keeps an index of files but if you rarely search for files, the service is just a resource hog. You can stop it and turn the service to manual. Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing: If you do not use these features, you can disable them. Infrared Monitor: If you do not use infrared devices, you can disable this service. Messenger: This service sends alert messages on a local area network (it is not the same as Windows Messenger). If you are not on a network, you can disable this service. Print Spooler: If you do not do any printing from the computer, you can disable this service. If you print, make sure you leave it as automatic. Remote Registry: This service allows remote users to modify the Registry on your computer. If you are not on a network, you can disable this service. System Restore Service: This service allows you to use System Restore. If you have turned off System Restore anyway, you do not need to turn off the service. If you do, you turn off System Restore. Themes: If you do not use themes, you can disable this service. Windows Image Acquisition: If you do not use scanners or digital cameras, you can disable this service. Wireless Zero Configuration: If do not use wireless networking devices, you can disable this service. You may have a number of other automatic services, depending on software and other configurations on your computer. So it's a good idea to look through the services and learn more about them. If you double-click a service, a Properties dialog box appears Notice that on the General tab, you see a Startup Type drop-down menu. If you want to change an automatic service to manual, select Manual here and click OK. As a general rule, don't disable a service unless you are sure you will never use it. However, manual configuration allows the service to be started when you find it necessary, thus speeding up your boot time. However, before you change a service to manual, look at the Dependencies tab (see Figure 4-4). This tab shows you which other services depend upon the service you are considering changing. Keep in mind that services are necessary for the vast functionality you get with Windows XP. Change only those services that you understand and do not use. How you use your Windows XP computer should be the best guide in terms of optional startup services. Tip: The Indexing service and the System Restore service take up a lot of disk space and system resources across the board. You can live without the Indexing service but I suggest that you keep using System Restore. It works great when you are in a bind and this is one case where the loss of speed may not be worth the ramifications of not using System Restore. Speed Tips and Tricks for Windows XP Startup Aside from startup programs, services, and the Prefetch folder, there are a number of other startup procedures and issues you can modify to help Windows XP start faster. The following sections explore those tips and tricks. Manual IP Addressing on Small Office/Home Networks Windows XP is configured to help you take care of networking. It uses the TCP/IP protocol for networking in workgroups, or what you might call small office or home networks that do not use a dedicated server. The problem is that automatic IP addressing can be slow. When your computer boots, it has to query the network to see what IP addresses are already in use and then assign itself one. If you want to speed up the boot time a bit, consider manually assigning IP addresses to all computers on the network. This way, the network computers do not have to worry about locating an automatic IP address. Because one is manually configured, the operating system doesn't have to spend time solving this problem. This isn't a networking book, however, so I won't delve into the implications of using a manual IP address, but if you are using a computer that functions as a host computer to the Internet (using Internet Connection Sharing [ICS]), you can get into connectivity problems if you change the configuration of the IP address. However, you can still work around this problem by starting with the ICS host computer. Select Start/Connect To/Show All Connections. Right-click your network adapter card and click Properties. On the General tab, select TCP/IP in the list of services and click the Properties button. In the TCP/IP properties, you can see if you use an automatic or manual IP address. In the example in Figure 4-5, I have configured a manual IP address of 90.0.0.1 and a default subnet mask. The other computers on my office network each use a different IP address in the same class, such as 90.0.0.2, 90.0.0.3, 90.0.0.4, and so on. This way, each computer has a permanent IP address, which helps increase boot time. Note that if you change the IP addresses of your computers, they must all use the same subnet mask. A default subject mask of 255.255.255.0 will keep you in good shape. Make sure you understand the implications of changing IP addresses on your network. If you have no networking experience at all, you may be wiser to leave the automatic IP addressing as is and try to gain some speed using the additional suggestions in this chapter. Disabling Recent Documents History Windows XP includes a feature that keeps track of all recent documents you have opened or used. The idea is that you can select Start/Recent Documents History and quickly reopen any document you have recently used. I use many documents each day and never use the feature myself. In my opinion, I can keep up with what I want to use without Windows XP doing it for me. The bad thing about Recent Documents History is that Windows XP has to calculate what should be put there each time you boot Windows, which can slow things down. So, if you never use the Recent Documents History, it's a good idea to disable it. Here's how: 1. Open the Registry Editor (select Start/Run, type regedit, and click OK). 2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mcft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer. 3. Create a NoRecentDocsHistory D_WORD key. Double-click the value to open it once it is created. 4. Set the Data Value to 1 to enable the restriction. 5. Click OK and close the Registry Editor. You'll need to restart the computer for the change to take effect. Disabling the Boot Logo You can remove the boot logo that appears when you start Windows XP. This little tweak probably shaves only a few seconds off your boot time but seconds count if you are serious about trying to get Windows XP up and running as quickly as possible. The only negative is that if you remove the boot logo, you will also not see any boot messages, such as check disk. (But if you are not having problems with your computer, this isn't such a big deal.) To remove the boot logo, follow these steps: 1. Select Start/Run, type msconfig, and click OK. 2. In the System Configuration Utility, click the BOOT.INI tab. 3. On the BOOT.INI tab, click the NOGUIBOOT check box option. Click OK. Removing Unwanted Fonts One trick that increases your boot time a bit is to lose any fonts in the Fonts folder in Control Panel that you never use. The more fonts you have, the more processing Windows XP has to do to prep all of those fonts for use. You must be a bit careful here to not remove fonts that you might want, but there is a good chance that you can live without many of them. For instance, you may have foreign language fonts and other symbol fonts (such as Wingdings) that you never use. To delete unneeded fonts, follow these steps: 1. Open the Fonts folder in Control Panel. 2. Select Edit/Select All and then Edit/Copy. 3. Create a new folder on your desktop, open it, and select Edit/Paste. 4. In this new folder, delete any of the fonts you do not want. 5. Return to the Fonts folder in Control Panel. Right-click the selected fonts and click Delete. 6. Go back to your new desktop folder and click Edit/Select All. 7. Return to your Fonts folder and click Edit/Paste. You now have only the desired fonts in the Fonts folder. Tip: You can directly delete fonts from the Fonts folder without creating the secondary folder. However, I recommend the preceding steps to help ensure that you do not make a mistake in the deletion process. Stopping Remote Assistance and Remote Desktop Sharing In Windows XP Professional, you have two remote networking features called Remote Assistance and Remote Desktop Sharing. These remote networking features are very helpful in a variety of situations but if you don't use them, it is good idea to disable them to save boot time. You can always enable them later if you want to use them. Note: If you are interested in using Remote Desktop or Remote Assistance, see my book Windows XP for Power Users: Power Pack published by John Wiley & Sons. 1. Open the Start menu, right-click My Computer, and choose Properties. 2. Click the Remote Tab. 3. Clear both check boxes to disable Remote Assistance and Remote Desktop. Speeding Up the Dual-Boot Timeout If you dual-boot your computer with Windows XP and another operating system, you see an operating system selection menu on startup. If you typically boot into Windows XP and not the other operating system, you can speed up the dual-boot timeout value so that you do not wait so long for the boot process to select your default operating system and continue with the boot process. The default timeout value is 30 seconds but you can change this setting to 10. This gives you enough time to select the alternate operating system if you want but also speeds up the boot process. You can skip this section if you do not use a dual-boot configuration. Follow these steps: 1. Locate the boot.ini file on your computer. It is a hidden file by default; mine is located in C:\boot.ini. 2. Open the file with Notepad (which is what opens it by default). 3. Change the Timeout value to 10 (see Figure 4-11). 4. Select File/Save and close Notepad. Speeding Up Your PPPoE Connection If you use a Point-to-Point Protocol connection over Ethernet (PPPoE), you may notice a delay in using the PPPoE connection after startup. By default, there is a 120 second delay but you can stop this behavior by manually configuring an IP address for the network adapter card. If you do not use a PPPoE connection, you can skip this section. 1. Select Start/Connect to/Show All Connections. 2. Open the TCP/IP properties for your LAN network interface card. 3. Manually set the IP address on the TCP/IP properties to an appropriate IP address and subnet mask for your network. Reducing the Wait Time When you start to shut down Windows XP, it has to quit, or "kill," any live applications or processes that are currently running. So close all applications first. However, some applications and processes are always running in the background. You can reduce the amount of time that Windows XP waits for those applications and processes to close before Windows XP kills them. Edit three different Registry settings to change this: 1. Open the Registry Editor. 2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop. Select WaitToKillAppTimeout and set the value to 1000. 3. Select the HungAppTimeout value and set it to 1000 as well. 4 . Navigate to HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop. Set the WaitToKillAppTimeout and set the value to 1000. Select the HungAppTimeout \newline value and set it to 1000 as well. 5. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l. Select the WaitToKillServiceTimeout value and set it to 1000. 6. Close the Registry Editor. Automatically Killing Tasks on Shutdown You know the drill. You start to shut down the computer, you wait a few moments, and then you see a dialog box asking if you want to kill an application or service that is running. Instead of prompting you, you can make Windows XP take care of the kill task automatically. Here's how: 1. Open the Registry Editor. 2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop. 3. Highlight the value AutoEndTasks and change the value to 1. 4. Close the Registry Editor.

Change the folder
of c drive in my computer
All the Xp users
would have been bored by the boring icons in their My Computer panel which are
adjacent to the Hard disk drives(C:,D: or whatever drive letter you have).
Here is a simple tweak by which you will be able to change this monotonous icon to anything you like,even your own Picture if you wish You can put any image in place of one which I have shown,even the picture of your favourite celebrity or your dream caror your own Picture. Here are the steps you need to follow: 1.First of all the picture you want to use should have .ico extension(if you already have a pic with .ico extension proceed to step 2).Most of the pictures we normally use have extensions like .jpg,.bmp,.png..gif etc, so you first need to convert them to one with .ico extension.This is simple.Just go here and put your original image in the 'Source Image 'section,then click on 'Generate Favicon.ico ' button to get your image with .ico extension. 2.Now go to My Computer.Suppose you want to put this icon in place of your original C: image. Double click and enter C: .Paste your .ico image file in it.Also create a new text file and in it type the following lines: [autorun] ICON=favicon.ico Remember that 'favicon.ico' in the second line is the name of your image file.If you have an image file with .ico extension by the name of 'abc.ico',then use that in the second line in place of 'favicon.ico'. 3.Now rename this text file as ' autorun.inf ' (without the quotes). Important Note:How do I rename my text file as autorun.inf ?Ans.Go to Tools->Folder options.Under the View tab uncheck the 'Hide extensions for known file types'.Press apply.Now rename your text file as 'autorun.inf'. 4.Now restart your Pc.You are done.Check out the cool new picture you have just added in your My computer panel.

Increase the
life of ur dvd rom
This is an
interesting one!!!
This is for those who watch movies on their computer's dvd rom drive!!! There is a software called dvd idle pro which can really increase the life of your dvd drive. By using the Smart Read-ahead Cache, DVDIdle saves DVD data which will be played soon onto the hard disk cache or RAM cache, and then feeds it to DVD player. This allows the DVD drive to rest. For example: a 6X-speed DVD drive will only work for 15 minutes when you are watching a 90 minutes DVD movie. here is the link: http://www.dvdidle.com/download/DVDIdlePro59.exe

Tips to recover
scratched CD's
1. Spread a cloth on a flat surface and place the CD on it.
2. Then, hold the disc with one hand, use the other to wipe the polish into the affected area with a soft cloth. 3. Wait for it to dry and buff using short, brisk strokes along the scratch, not across it. 4. A cloth sold to wipe spectacles or camera lenses will work super m8's. 5. When you can no longersee the scratch,, wash the disc with water and let it dry before playing. Intersting isnt it? Try it right now I have used toothpaste with good effects before Ive also used car paint cutting compound on deeper scratches. It does leave lots of smaller scratches (as it is a cutting compound after all) but it will remove the worst scratches in most cases. ya u r gng to b surely befinited by this Operation * Fingermarks/prints cause 43% of disc problems! * General wear & tear causes 25% of disc problems! * Player-related issues cause 15% of disc problems! * Remaining Others
