Play with your XP
Deleting System Softwares:XP hides some system software you might want to remove, such as Windows Messenger, but you can tickle it and make it disgorge everything. Using Notepad or Edit, edit the text file /windows/inf/sysoc.inf, search for the word 'hide' and remove it. You can then go to the Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel, select Add/Remove Windows Components and there will be your prey, exposed and vulnerable.Creating Shutdown Icon or One Click Shutdown:Navigate to your desktop. On the desktop, right-click and go to New, then to Shortcut (in other words, create a new shortcut). You should now see a pop-up window instructing you to enter a command line path.Use this path in "Type Location of the Item"SHUTDOWN -s -t 01If the C: drive is not your local hard drive, then replace "C" with the correct letter of the hard drive. Click the "Next" button. Name the shortcut and click the "Finish" button. Now whenever you want to shut down, just click on this shortcut and you're done.Increasing Band-Width By 20%:Microsoft reserves 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes like Windows Updates and interrogating your PC etcTo get it back:Click Start then Run and type "gpedit.msc" without quotes.This opens the group policy editor. Then go to:Local Computer Policy then Computer Configuration then Administrative Templates then Network then QOS Packet Scheduler and then to Limit Reservable Bandwidth.
Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the 'Explain' tab i.e."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%.It works on Win 2000 as well.Renaming The Recycle Bin icon:To change the name of the Recycle Bin desktop icon, click Start then goto Run, write Regedit and press Enter. It opens Registry Editor. Now in Registry Editor go to:HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/CLSID/{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}and change the name "Recycle Bin" to whatever you want (don't type any quotes).Managing Tasks:You can at last get rid of tasks on the computer from the command line by using 'taskkill /pid' and the task number, or just 'tskill' and the process number. Find that out by typing 'tasklist', which will also tell you a lot about what's going on in your system.Removing Shared Documents folder From My Computer window:Open registry editor by going to Start then Run and entering regedit. Once in registry, navigate to keyHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ My Computer \ NameSpace \ DelegateFoldersYou must see a sub-key named {59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee}. If you delete this key, you have effectively removed the my shared documents folder.
Making Google the Default Search Engine in Internet Explorer:Open registry editor by going to Start then Run and entering regedit and navigate to following three keys separately and change it as shown below:[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]"Search Page"=" http://www.google.com""Search Bar"=" http://www.google.com/ie"[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchURL]""=" http://www.google.com/keyword/%s"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search]"SearchAssistant"=" http://www.google.com/ie" .Improving the Slow Boot up time:There are a variety of reasons why your windows XP system would boot slowly. Most of the times it this has to do with the startup applications. If you would like to speed up the bootup sequence, consider removing some of the startup applications that you do not need. Easiest way to remove startup apps is through System Configuration Utility. Go to Start then Run and enter MSCONFIG and go to the Startup tab. Deselect/UnCheck application(s) that you do not want to startup at boot time.Customize Logon prompt with your Own Words:Open Registry by going to Start then Run, entering regedit and Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]. In right pane, look for key by the name "LogonPrompt". Set its value to whatever text you want to see displayed at login screen.IP address of your connection:Go to Start then Run. Enter 'cmd' and then enter 'ipconfig' .Add the '/all' switch for more info.
Making Folders Private:Open My Computer Double-click the drive where Windows is installed (usually drive (C:), unless you have more than one drive on your computer). If the contents of the drive are hidden, under System Tasks, click Show the contents of this drive.Double-click the Documents and Settings folder. Double-click your user folder. Right-click any folder in your user profile, and then click Properties. On the Sharing tab, select the Make this folder private so that only I have access to it check box.To change Drive Letters:Go to Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management, Disk Management, then right-click the partition whose name you want to change (click in the white area just below the word "Volume") and select "change drive letter and paths."From here you can add, remove or change drive letters and paths to the partition.Removing the Shortcut arrow from Desktop Icons:Goto Start then Run and Enter regedit. Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTlnkfile. Delete the IsShortcut registry value. You may need to restart Windows XP.Get Drivers for your Devices:Visit Windows Update (XP Only)Look at the left hand pane and under Other Options click Personalize Windows Update.Now in the right hand pane check the box - Display the link to the Windows Update Catalog under See AlsoBelow Choose which categories and updates to display on Windows Update - make sure you check all the boxes you want shown.Click Save SettingsNow look in the left hand pane under See Also click Windows Update Catalog and choose what you're looking for. Choose either MS updates or drivers for hardware devices.Start the Wizard and off you go.
Customize Internet Explorer's Title Bar:Open Registry by going to Start then Run and Enter regedit. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet. Explorer\Main. In right hand panel look for string "Window Title" and change its value to whatever custom text you want to see.Disabling the use of Win Key:If your are a gaming freak then you must be sick of the Win key in your keyboard. To disable use of Win key, open registry by going to Start then Run and entering regedit. Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout] . In this look for value of "Scancode Map". Its binary data so be extra careful:Set its value to "00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 03 00 00 00 00 00 5B E0 00 00 5C E0 00 00 00 00" to disable the win key.Restarting Windows without Restarting the Computer:This one is again is. When you click on the SHUTDOWN button, make sure to simultaneous press SHIFT Button. If you hold the Shift key down while clicking on SHUTDOWN button, you computer would restart without restarting the Computer. This is equivalent to term "HOT REBOOT".Stopping XP from displaying unread messages count on Welcome Screen:To stop XP from displaying count of unread messages, Open registry and navigate to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail] and look for the data key "MessageExpiryDays". If you do not see this key, create one DWORD key by the name "MessageExpiryDays". Setting its value to 0 would stop Windows XP from displaying the count of unread messages.
Modify Color Selection of Default Theme:Open registry by going to Start then Run. Entering regedit, navigate to [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ThemeManager] and locate the key "ColorName".Right Click on it and select modify its value from "NormalColor" to "Metallic"Click Ok, and exit regedit and restart your computer.Removing the Recycle Bin from the Desktop:If you don't use the Recycle Bin to store deleted files , you can get rid of its desktop icon all together. Run Regedit and go to:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/explorer/Desktop/NameSpace

Yeah u can do it , but it takes some time .. Its ok as u can compress ur data in such a low space..

1) KGB format
2) ZIP format ..Everyone knows the ZIP format..I tell u which is better & why..If u do it in KGB format it takes 5-6 hours on a 256 mb RAM, to compress 1 GB data/movie in less than 10 MB , but (this is not which i prefer) coz to decompress u take the same time.. So its useless..& u need KGB archiver only only for this format to decompress..But if u do it in ZIP format it takes 6-7 hours on a 256 MB ram, but i tell u its worth coz WINRAR & WINZIP both can decompress it in seconds.. OK now its clear that which format to use & which is better..Now we'll go how to use that software..Run the application>> It asks for which file u wanna compress>> select the file>> after u select>> U get two options in which format u want to compress it>> select ZIP format ( I prefer ) >> and then set compression level to maximum (maximum the compression level , small the size of it will be compressed)>> Just ignore the time given below it coz its just useless.......

Exiting Windows the Cool and Quick WayNormally it takes a hell lot of time just Shutting down Windows, you have to move yourmouse to the Start Button, click on it, move it again over Shut Down, click, then move itover the necessary option and click, then move the cursor over the OK button and onceagain (you guessed it) click.This whole process can be shortened by creating shortcuts onthe Desktop which will shut down Windows at the click of a button. Start by creating anew shortcut( right click and select New> Shortcut). Then in the command line box, type(without the quotes.)'C:\windows\rundll.exe user.exe,exitwindowsexec'This Shortcut on clicking will restart Windows immediately without any Warning. Tocreate a Shortcut to Restarting Windows, type the following in the Command Line box:'c:\windows\rundll.exe user.exe,exitwindows'This Shortcut on clicking will shut down Windows immediately without any Warning.
Replace your STARTUP and SHUTDOWNscreen images (bitmaps).
Do you dislike the Windows startup and shutdown screens, and wishto replace them with your own images? Here's how:1. On your c:\ drive (root directory), you will find the following files:LOGO.SYS startup screen LOGOS.SYS shutdown screenLOGOW.SYS "wait to shutdown" screen2. COPY these files to a floppy disk before attempting to alter them. Youmay want to replace them if you decide or need to use them again.3. Despite the .sys extensions, these files are standard bitmaps (.bmp files)Once you've copied them, change the extension on one of your copiesto .bmp and view it in Ms.Paint Check the IMAGE, ATTRIBUTESmenu and note that it is 320 pixels (pels) wide and 400 pixels high.4. Before you replace any of these images, you need to find or create,or crop a bitmap image to 320 x 400. Choose your image, and set thesize in IMAGE, ATTRIBUTES in Ms.Paint.5. Save your new image to your floppy disk, naming it after the logo fileyou intend to replace (using the .sys extension).6. Now, on the c:\ drive, change the extension of the original logo file(the one you are replacing) to .bmp. This way, you'll have two originalsin case of trouble -one on your c:\ drive and one on your floppy disk.7. Now, move your new logo file into your root c:\ directory. The nexttime you start up or shut down, you'll see your new screen.8. If you don't like your new image, move it out of your root directoryand replace it with one of your original files (with the .sys extension).Be sure to do this before you exit and re-enter Windows 95!
