Speed Up Ur Shut down !!
Start Regedit.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control.
Click on the "Control" Folder.
Select "WaitToKillServiceTimeout"
Right click on it and select Modify.
Set it a value lower than 2000 (Mine is set to 200).
and !
Like previous versions of windows, it takes long time to restart or
shutdown windows xp when the "Exit Windows" sound is enabled. to solve
this problem you must disable this useless sound. click start button
then go to settings -> control panel -> Sound,Speech and Audio
devices -> Sounds and Audio Devices -> Sounds, then under program
events and windows menu click on "Exit Windows" sub-menu and highlight
it.now from sounds you can select,choose "none" and then click apply and
ok. now you can see some improvements when shutting down your system.
Hide ur folders..
never known trick !!!!!!!!!! Disguise them to "Recycle Bin"
Rename any folder with extension {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
eg, if u've a folder games press F2, then type,
"games.{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}" c the magic....then 2 get
to original form, remove the extension using "ren
games.{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} games" in dos or as a bat
file n u are done..
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 Stored username
To remove the Stored User Names and ovens from your system, try this: Click Start, Run and type Control keymgr.dll
Remove the entries from the list.
The other ways to access this dialog are:
Type Control Userpasswords2 in RUN box, click Advanced, Manage ovens
-or-
From Control Panel, select your User Account, click Manage your network ovens
It Works
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

NOTEPAD "world trade centre trick".. :Rahul
Did you know that the flight number of the plane that had hit WTC ...on
9/11 was Q33N ....Open your Notepad in ur computer and type the flight
number i.e Q33N... Increase the Font Size to 72, Change the Font to
Wingdings. U will be amazed by the findings.
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\shel lex\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.
CD ROM STOPS AUTOPLAYING/AUTORUN.!!
And the AutoPlay Tab has disappeared in My Computer, Devices With Removable Storage, Right Click on CDROM, Properties.
Solution: The service: "Shell Hardware Detection" has been set to Manual
or Disabled. Go to Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services.
Return this service to "Automatic".
How to make your Desktop Icons Transparent
Go to Control Panel > System, > Advanced > Performance area
> Settings button Visual Effects tab "Use drop shadows for icon
labels on the Desktop"
DISPLAY MESSAGE ON STARTUP.
Start regedit, if you are unfamiliar with regedit please see our FAQ.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>>software>>Microsoft>>Windows NT>>CurrentVersion>>Winlogon
Modify the key legalnoticecaption with what you want to name the window.
Modify the key legalnoticetext with what you want the window to say. Restart
AUTO DELETE TEMPORARY FOLDER.!!
ll what i prefer is %temp% " without quotes.. at Start -> Run..
this opens ur temp folder n den u cal erase it neatly// still try dis one too..
First go into gpedit.msc
Next select -> Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Terminal Services/Temporary Folder
Then right click "Do Not Delete Temp Folder Upon Exit"
Go to properties and hit disable. Now next time Windows puts a temp file
in that folder it will automatically delete it when its done! Note from
Forum Admin: Remember, GPEDIT (Group Policy Editor) is only available
in XP Pro.
