3>>Start Up Programs: Windows can be slowed down when programs run on start up. To eliminate this, check your Start up folder. You can access it from the start menu: Start, Programs, Start Up. Another way to eliminate programs from loading even before Windows actually starts is by doing the following: Click on Start, then Run. Type msconfig. It will take quite a long time for this program to load, but when you finally see it on your screen, explore the different tabs. They all have to do with how quickly your PC boots, so select what you want, and uncheck what you don't want! 4>>Refresh the Taskbar without restarting: If you in some way change the taskbar, either in Regedit or elsewhere, you can refresh the task bar without restarting. Hold down Ctrl Alt Del, and double click on Explorer. Say Yes to close Explorer, but no to closing Windows. This will refresh the Taskbar and system tray. 5>> Faster Start-Menu Access: Go to the Start menu and select Run. Now type Regedit and hit Enter. The Registry Editor will appear on the screen. Now, open the folder HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop. You should see a MenuShowDelay value. If you don't then do the following: right click on a blank space in the right pane and select New\String. Change the name in the new value to MenuShowDelay. Now that we have the MenuShowDelay value, double click on it and enter 0 in the value data field. This sets the start menu delay to 0 milliseconds. 6>>Restart only Windows: When restarting your PC, hold down Shift to only restart Windows rather than the whole system which will only take a fraction of the time. 7>>Defragment Often: defragment your drive, data is physically arranged on the drive so that applications will load faster. 8>> Wallpapers: They slow your whole system down, so if you're willing to compromise, have a basic plain one instead! 9>>Fonts: When Windows starts, it loads every single font in the Fonts folder. Therefore, the more fonts you have, the slower the booting process. To get rid of unwanted fonts, simply go to the Fonts folder under c:\windows and remove whatever you don't want. Fonts that have a red letter 'A' as their icon are system fonts, so don't delete them. 10>> Quick CD Eject: Instead of pushing the button on your drive, right-click your CD drive letter in My Computer and click on Eject. This will also remove any icons that have become associated with the CD drive. Registryedit Shortcuts: for Searching "Ctrl+F" -- Opens the Find dialog box.

Locking the desktop If you are leaving your computer for a while and do not wish to turn it off, but want to assure that no-one else can use the computer while you are away, locking the desktop is the best option. By pressing WINDOWSKEY+L, you password protect your system just as if you had logged out or restarted the computer. The advantage is that any programs or processes that were running when you locked the desktop will stay open and running in the background, ready for you to resume work or play.

To restore the desktop icon again, >just Modify the same DWORD-Value to 0 Changing ANY user password without having to know the existing password:This Trick gives a user the opportunity to use it for good or bad. It enables the user to repassword any account without having to know the existing password and also shows you every account that exists on the machine (even the ones that are hidden). This is a good tool to use if you forgot a password to say your administrator account and you needed to be logged into the admin account for any reason. To view all of the user accounts: 1) While logged onto the computer, click on Start>Run>and type in CMD. 2) From the command prompt window, type in net users. This will show you every account that is made onto the computer whether it is hidden or not. To change an account password: 1) While logged onto the computer to an account that has administrative rights, click on Start>Run>and type in CMD. 2) Type in net user then the name of the account then * and press enter. heres an example: net user administrator * or net user Joe Smith * . Put the name in quotes if it contains spaces. 3) From there it should ask for a new password. Type in your new password (type very carefully the command window wont display what you type) and once more to confirm it. If you get the message that the command succeeded successfully youre all set!! speed up ur pc] not only by defag Since defragging the disk wont do much to improve Windows XP performance, here are 23 suggestions that will. Each can enhance the performance and reliability of your customers PCs. Best of all, most of them will cost you nothing. 1.) To decrease a systems boot time and increase system performance, use the money you save by not buying defragmentation software the built-in Windows defragmenter works just fine and instead equip the computer with an Ultra-133 or Serial ATA hard drive with 8-MB cache buffer. 2.) If a PC has less than 512 MB of RAM, add more memory. This is a relatively inexpensive and easy upgrade that can dramatically improve system performance. 3.) Ensure that Windows XP is utilizing the NTFS file system. If youre not sure, heres how to check: First, double-click the My Computer icon, right-click on the C: Drive, then select Properties. Next, examine the File System type; if it says FAT32, then back-up any important data. Next, click Start, click Run, type CMD, and then click OK. At the prompt, type CONVERT C: /FS:NTFS and press the Enter key. This process may take a while; its important that the computer be uninterrupted and virus-free. The file system used by the bootable drive will be either FAT32 or NTFS. I highly recommend NTFS for its superior security, reliability, and efficiency with larger disk drives. 4.) Disable file indexing. The indexing service extracts information from documents and other files on the hard drive and creates a searchable keyword index. As you can imagine, this process can be quite taxing on any system. The idea is that the user can search for a word, phrase, or property inside a document, should they have hundreds or thousands of documents and not know the file name of the document they want. Windows XPs built-in search functionality can still perform these kinds of searches without

11/25/2011

Computer Tricks Excel Programs-Softwares-Books-Novels

Page 15 of 18

the Indexing service. It just takes longer. The OS has to open each file at the time of the request to help find what the user is looking for. Most people never need this feature of search. Those who do are typically in a large corporate environment where thousands of documents are located on at least one server. But if youre a typical system builder, most of your clients are small and medium businesses. And if your clients have no need for this search feature, I recommend disabling it. Heres how: First, double-click the My Computer icon. Next, right-click on the C: Drive, then select Properties. Uncheck Allow Indexing Service to index this disk for fast file searching. Next, apply changes to C: subfolders and files, and click OK. If a warning or error message appears (such as Access is denied), click the Ignore All button. 5.) Update the PCs video and motherboard chipset drivers. Also, update and configure the BIOS. For more information on how to configure your BIOS properly, see this article on my site. 6.) Empty the Windows Prefetch folder every three months or so. Windows XP can prefetch portions of data and applications that are used frequently. This makes processes appear to load faster when called upon by the user. Thats fine. But over time, the prefetch folder may become overloaded with references to files and applications no longer in use. When that happens, Windows XP is wasting time, and slowing system performance, by pre-loading them. Nothing critical is in this folder, and the entire contents are safe to delete. 7.) Once a month, run a disk cleanup. Heres how: Double-click the My Computer icon. Then rightclick on the C: drive and select Properties. Click the Disk Cleanup button its just to the right of the Capacity pie graph and delete all temporary files. 8.) In your Device Manager, double-click on the IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers device, and ensure that DMA is enabled for each drive you have connected to the Primary and Secondary controller. Do this by double-clicking on Primary IDE Channel. Then click the Advanced Settings tab. Ensure the Transfer Mode is set to DMA if available for both Device 0 and Device 1. Then repeat this process with the Secondary IDE Channel. 9.) Upgrade the cabling. As hard-drive technology improves, the cabling requirements to achieve these performance boosts have become more stringent. Be sure to use 80-wire Ultra-133 cables on all of your IDE devices with the connectors properly assigned to the matching Master/Slave/Motherboard sockets. A single device must be at the end of the cable; connecting a single drive to the middle connector on a ribbon cable will cause signaling problems. With Ultra DMA hard drives, these signaling problems will prevent the drive from performing at its maximum potential. Also, because these cables inherently support cable select, the location of each drive on the cable is important. For these reasons, the cable is designed so drive positioning is explicitly clear. 10.) Remove all spyware from the computer. Use free programs such as AdAware by Lavasoft or SpyBot Search & Destroy. Once these programs are installed, be sure to check for and download any updates before starting your search. Anything either program finds can be safely removed. Any free software that requires spyware to run will no longer function once the spyware portion has been removed; if your customer really wants the program even though it contains spyware, simply reinstall it. For more information on removing Spyware visit this Web Pro News page. 11.) Remove any unnecessary programs and/or items from Windows Startup routine using the MSCONFIG utility. Heres how: First, click Start, click Run, type MSCONFIG, and click OK. Click the StartUp tab, then uncheck any items you dont want to start when Windows starts. Unsure what some items are? Visit the WinTasks Process Library. It contains known system processes, applications, as well as spyware references and explanations. Or quickly identify them by searching for the filenames using Google or another Web search engine. 12.) Remove any unnecessary or unused programs from the Add/Remove Programs section of the Control Panel. 13.) Turn off any and all unnecessary animations, and disable active desktop. In fact, for optimal performance, turn off all animations. Windows XP offers many different settings in this area. Heres how to do it: First click on the System icon in the Control Panel. Next, click on the Advanced tab. Select the Settings button located under Performance. Feel free to play around with the options offered here, as nothing you can change will alter the reliability of the computer only its responsiveness. 14.) If your customer is an advanced user who is comfortable editing their registry, try some of the performance registry tweaks offered at Tweak XP.

15.) Visit Microsofts Windows update site regularly, and download all updates labeled Critical. Download any optional updates at your discretion. 16.) Update the customers anti-virus software on a weekly, even daily, basis. Make sure they have only one anti-virus software package installed. Mixing anti-virus software is a sure way to spell disaster for performance and reliability. 17.) Make sure the customer has fewer than 500 type fonts installed on their computer. The more fonts they have, the slower the system will become. While Windows XP handles fonts much more efficiently than did the previous versions of Windows, too many fonts that is, anything over 500 will noticeably tax the system. 18.) Do not partition the hard drive. Windows XPs NTFS file system runs more efficiently on one large partition. The data is no safer on a separate partition, and a reformat is never necessary to reinstall an operating system. The same excuses people offer for using partitions apply to using a folder instead. For example, instead of putting all your data on the D: drive, put it in a folder called D drive. Youll achieve the same organizational benefits that a separate partition offers, but without the degradation in system performance. Also, your free space wont be limited by the size of the partition; instead, it will be limited by the size of the entire hard drive. This means you wont need to resize any partitions, ever. That task can be time-consuming and also can result in lost data. 19.) Check the systems RAM to ensure it is operating properly. I recommend using a free program called MemTest86. The download will make a bootable CD or diskette (your choice), which will run 10 extensive tests on the PCs memory automatically after you boot to the disk you created. Allow all tests to run until at least three passes of the 10 tests are completed. If the program encounters any errors, turn off and unplug the computer, remove a stick of memory (assuming you have more than one), and run the test again. Remember, bad memory cannot be repaired, but only replaced. 20.) If the PC has a CD or DVD recorder, check the drive manufacturers Web site for updated firmware. In some cases youll be able to upgrade the recorder to a faster speed. Best of all, its free. 21.) Disable unnecessary services. Windows XP loads a lot of services that your customer most likely does not need. To determine which services you can disable for your client, visit the Black Viper site for Windows XP configurations. 22.) If youre sick of a single Windows Explorer window crashing and then taking the rest of your OS down with it, then follow this tip: open My Computer, click on Tools, then Folder Options. Now click on the View tab. Scroll down to Launch folder windows in a separate process, and enable this option. Youll have to reboot your machine for this option to take effect. 23.) At least once a year, open the computers cases and blow out all the dust and debris. While youre in there, check that all the fans are turning properly. Also inspect the motherboard capacitors for bulging or leaks. For more information on this leaking-capacitor phenomena, you can read numerous articles on my site. Following any of these suggestions should result in noticeable improvements to the performance and reliability of your customers computers. If you still want to defrag a disk, remember that the main benefit will be to make your data more retrievable in the event of a crashed drive. 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 How to Rename the Recycle Bin To change the name of the Recycle Bin desktop icon, open Regedit and go to: ===} HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/CLSID/{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} and change the name Recycle Bin to whatever you want (dont type any quotes). Notepad Tricks: Trick#1 : 1. Open a blank Notepad file 2. Write .LOG as the first line of the file, followed by a enter. Save the file and close it. 3. Double-click the file to open it and notice that Notepad appends the current date and time to

the end of the file and places the cursor on the line after. 4. Type your notes and then save and close the file. After that open the file and see the changes.by this trick u can also use ur notebook as a personal diary. Trick#2 : 1.open notepad 2. type bush hid the facts 3. save it and close it 4 then open it again..n see the changes Trick#3 : Do you know the number of the flight that was used to attack the world Trade Centre???? The flight number was Q33N. Now, open your Notepad, type the number of the flight (i.e. Q33N). Now click on format>font, increase the font size upto 72, and change the font style to wingdings. Now see the ammmaaazzzing thing. Trick#4 : Over at WinCustomize, someone thought theyd found an Easter Egg in the Windows Notepad application. If you:1. Open Notepad 2. Type the text this app can break (without quotes) 3. Save the file 4. Re-open the file in Notepad Notepad displays seemingly-random Chinese characters, or boxes if your default Notepad font doesnt support those characters. Its not an Easter egg (even though it seems like a funny one), and as it turns out, Notepad writes the file correctly. Its only when Notepad reads the file back in that it seems to lose its mind INCRESE UR BROADBAND SPEED UP TO 20% A nice little tweak for XP. Microsoft reserve 20% of your available internet bandwidth for their own purposes (suspect for updates and interrogating your machine etc..) Heres how to get it back: Click Start -> Run -> type gpedit.msc Local Computer Policy -> >Computer Configuration -> >Administrative Templates -> >Network -> >QOS Packet Scheduler -> >Limit Reservable Bandwidth. Double 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 the reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO. This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20%. works on XP Pro, and 2000, other O/Ss not tested. SHUTDOWN PC at a specific time Here is another trick to shutdown at a specific time, for example you wish to shutdown at 11:35am. Type this in start=>Run Type Code: at 11:35 shutdown -s TO ABORT: Code: shutdown -a ( TFS ~~ u can create a shortcut virus wid diz..!! lol ) Enjoy!!! Shutdown XP Faster

1) Start Run Regedit Navigate to the following Registry key: HKEY CURRENT USER\Control Panel\Desktop Double click on the AutoEndTasks entry and replace the 0 with a 1 in the Value data text box For the next two, if the dword value indicated does not exist, create it: Double click on the WaitToKillAppTimeout entry in the right pane and change the Value data to 2000 Double click on the HungAppTimeout entry in the right pane and change the Value data to 1000 Reboot If still having a problem, make the next change: 2) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control Right-click on WaitToKillServiceTimeout and change it to 2000 NOTE: The lowest value Windows will recognize is 1000 (1 second) ADVISORY: While rare, the WaitToKillService tweak can cause problems. If an application is in the process of saving data and the associated service is stopped prematurely, the data will not be saved and may be lost. (Tweak, Note and Advisory from Forum Admin)

Hidden User Account An account that is normally displayed on the Welcome screen can be hidden from view. To log on using the account its necessary to use the Log On To Windows dialog box similar to the one in Windows 2000. Navigate to the following registry key: -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList. Right Click on the right side window and create a new DWord value. Name the key, thename of account to be hidden. For example, If I wish to hide an account called Sandeep,then I name the key as Sandeep. Set the value 0 to hide that account. Now exit the registry editor and reboot. To display the account at a later period, visit the same key and give the value 1. Now you have an account hidden Changing ANY user password without having to know the existing password This tweak gives a user the opportunity to use it for good or bad. It enables the user to repassword any account without having to know the existing password and also shows you every account that exists on the machine (even the ones that are hidden).
