Make Your Windows Truly personalized Part -I

Shortcut to restarting xp..

You can restart a Windows XP Pro and Home machine easily by creating a shortcut with following path. (Assume you installed Windows XP on your C: Partition) “c:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe -r -f -t 00″ -r is for restarting the computer. -f is to force close all programs without saving. -t 00 is used to restart in zero seconds. i.e. as soon as you D.Click on the shortcut. You can log off from a Windows XP Professional or Home edition by running “C:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe -l -f -t 00″. Also you can shutdown a Windows XP Home or Professional edition by running “c:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe -s -f -t 00″. You always have to turn from the CPU after running this command. (Same with AT and ATX powered machines.) If you want to turn down power of ATX machine automatically, run “c:\windows\system32\tsshutdn.exe 00 /POWERDOWN /DELAY:00″ This is used to turn off a server. Even though your computer will be shutdown completely, this whole operation will take 30 seconds to finish. Even though you don’t have networked computers attached to your computer, this works.

1) Disabling Display of Drives in My Computer :

This is yet another trick you can play on your geek friend. To disable the display of local or networked drives when you click My Computer go to : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer Now in the right pane create a new DWORD item and name it NoDrives. Now modify it’s value and set it to 3FFFFFF (Hexadecimal) Now press F5 to refresh. When you click on My Computer, no drives will be shown. To enable display of drives in My Computer, simply delete this DWORD item. It’s .reg file is as follows: REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explore r] “NoDrives”=dword:03ffffff

2) Pop a banner each time Windows Boots :

To pop a banner which can contain any message you want to display just before a user is going to log on, go to the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WinLogon Now create a new string Value in the right pane named LegalNoticeCaption and enter the value that you want to see in the Menu Bar. Now create yet another new string value and name it: LegalNoticeText. Modify it and insert the message you want to display each time Windows boots. This can be effectively used to display the company’s private policy each time the user logs on to his NT box. It’s .reg file would be: REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] “LegalNoticeCaption”=”Caption here.”

3) Great trick Lock ur PC yourself

lock ur pc.. open notepad copy and paste the script below and save it .VBS extentionThis wil create a shortcut.. run(click) it
set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject(”WScript.Shell”)set oShellLink = WshShell.CreateShortcut(wshShell.SpecialFolders(”Desktop”) & “\LockWorkstation.lnk”)oShellLink.TargetPath = “%windir%\system32\rundll32.exe”oShellLink.Arguments = “user32.dll,LockWorkStation”oShellLink.Save
first select a folder for example i’ll use a folder name movies in D drive D:\movies\
in the same drive u create a text file and type
ren movies movies.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}
and save it as loc.bat
again u type in a notepad as
ren movies.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} movies
and save it as key.bat
now in D drive u can see two batch files loc and key.. when u double click loc the movie folder will change to control panel and when u double click key the control panel will change to normal folder..
there are two more different tricks in this site to lock your pc down in a unique ways.. don’t know where i have typed it.. !!!

4) Deleting System Options from the Start menu :

You can actually remove the Find and Run options from the start menu by performing a simple registry hack. Again like always Launch the registry editor and scroll down to the below key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer Right-click on the right pane and select New, DWORD Value. Name it NoFind.(To remove the RUN option name it NoRun). Double-click the newly create DWORD to edit it’s value and enter 1 as its value. This will disable the FIND option of the Start Menu and will also disable the default Shortcut key(F3 for Find.) To restore the Run or find command modify the value of the DWORD to 0 or simply Delete the DWORD value.

5) Cleaning Recent Docs Menu and the RUN MRU :

The Recent Docs menu can be easily disabled by editing the Registry. To do this go to the following Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer Now in the right pane, create a new DWORD value by the name: NoRecentDocsMenu and set it’s value to 1. Restart Explorer to save the changes. You can also clear the RUN MRU history. All the listings are stored in the key: HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RunMR U You can delete individual listings or the entire listing. To delete History of Find listings go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Doc Find Spec MRU and delete

6) Can u Delete Recycle Bin?

1 thing is 4 sure, delete option can be added 2 recycle bin…the old registry thing will work out…..* launch d registry…* open HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\ShellFolder* to add a rename and delete option, change the Dword attribute to 70 01 00 20* refresh and reboot the system….. u r done.
PS: always backup y ur data as well as registry b4 attempting 2 work on it if u r a newbie….

7) To change the icons used for specific drives in explorer

Open regedit by typing regedit into start->run
then navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer
now create a key(KEY not VALUE!!) called DriveIcons under Explorer…now within DriveIcons, create another key with the drive letter you want to change (e.g.,HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\K)…create another key within the drive letter key called DefaultIcon… now set the default String value equal to the icon you want to use. if you have a file that has more than one icon in it, such as a DLL file, use the standard C:\full_path\icon_file.dll,n ) where n is the number of the icon within the file icon_file.dll…
~ c h e e r s! ~
More

change drive icons…..
first of all copy a icon file to the root of the drive.example: c:\icon.ico
then create a file called: autorun.inf in c:\autorun.infthen open that file and type the following:
[autorun]icon=icon.ico
save and close the file.
now open my computer and refresh.. and woh! icon changed….you can apply to other drives too.
be carefull
“autorun.inf” and “ico.ico” must be in the root of the drive.example: c:\autorun.inf and c:\icon.ico.same on the root.
ENJOY, this works on 98 too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8) Hacking windows SEND TO MENU

I know this is a very simple thing but the problem, as like many other issues, is the ignorance about it.
How often do you copy songs from a CD? Or some photos from a CD?
What do you do? You select the required files and do a CTRL –C. Open the destination folder and do a CTRL-V. Here is something you can benefit time from. Customize your SEND TO MENU.
This sounds simple and you can do it in less than sixty seconds. You can create your own BASKET.
First you’ll need access to hidden files. So change your view settings to make all hidden files visible. Tools -> folder options -> view (tab) and select the show hidden files and folders. go to parent drive:/documents and settings/(user name)/send to
Open up my computer and locate your most used folders.
Create a shortcut of the most used folders in SEND TO FOLDER. You can do this in a number of ways.
Right click -> send to desktop(create shortcut) and move the shortcut from the desktop to the SEND TO FOLDER
Copy the most used folder and go to SEND TO FOLDER and right click -> paste shortcut.
Also remember to rename the shortcuts to send to videos or send to photos. We don’t need confusion when we use the same later.
5. DONE
~ c h e e r s! ~

9) How to remove the shortcut arrow from the desktop ?

Open Regedit and navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ Shell IconsBackup the key. More information. In the right-pane, create a new String value named “29″Double-click 29 and set its data to:
C:\Windows\System32\shell32.dll,50 (an empty icon) Close Registry Editor.
Now,
Right-click Desktop, choose Properties Click the Appearance Tab.
Click Advanced button.
Choose Icon from the drop-down list
Set it’s size to 31 and press OK, OK.
The changes will be applied now. Repeat the above steps and then set the Icon size back to 32 (defaults). The above steps are required to force Windows to redraw the icons

10) The Complete list ! Can u Do it!

Try to create a folder in Windows with either of these names–”con” or “nul” or “Aux” or “Lpt1″.Windows will not let u create ….
This s coz these refer 2 some well known ports….-con corresponds to the console-Lpt1 corresponds to printer and so on….
well that was common but hw but this ? Try these more
CON, PRN, AUX, CLOCK$, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, and LPT9.

11) TURN NUMLOCK ON AT LOGON.!!

NumLock does not toggle on by default (system-wide), even if you have it set in your PC’s BIOS, because of XP’s multi-user functionality. Guess Microsoft doesn’t know everyone actually turns it on, which should be reason enough for what acts as “default”…Anyway, you can hack the Windows Registry to change this behavior, or run a script at logon to turn NumLock on.1. To enable NumLock through the Registry:* Open Windows’ Registry Editor (START > RUN, type “REGEDIT”).*. Navigate to HKEY_USERS\.Default\Control Panel\Keyboard.*. Change the value for InitialKeyboardIndicators from 0 to 2.2. To enable NumLock using a script, see this MS Knowledgebase article for complete instructions:CODEhttp://support.microsoft.com/directory/article.asp?ID=KB;EN-US;Q262625Option 1 is the quicker method, but if you have more than one user on your system and one or more don’t want NumLock on (stranger things have been known of), then option 2 is the way to go since it allows you to only attach the script to specific users.

12) REMOVING SERVICES DEPENDENCIES.!!
This will allow you to disable a service or uninstall it from your system without effecting another service that depends on it. Here’s how you do it1. After you have set your services the way you want them and you have disabled/uninstalled something that another services depends on, run “regedit”2. Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\find the service that will not function, do to another service being disabled/uninstall (found in ControlSet001\Services, ControlSet002\Services, and CurrentControlSet\Services)3. Once you have found the service right-click on the string value, “DependOnService,”and modify4. You should now see a list of services that it is dependent on. Simply delete the service that you have disabled/uninstalled5. Restart your computer and your ready to go Disclaimer REMEMBER TO BACKUP YOU REGISTRY FIRST I’m not totally sure if this will have any negative effects on your system. I used this method after uninstalling “Netbios over Tcpip” from my system completely, so that my Dhcp service would function and I have had NO negative effects on my system.

13) TURN ON UR PC IN JUST 10 SECONDS
Alight so u want to know how to turn the pc on in 10 seconds (may vary). Alright here’s what u have to do to turn your pc on in 10 seconds
Click on the start button then press R it will take u to Run well go to run type Regeditpress enterthis will open Registry Edit or now look for the key
HKEY_LOACAL_MECHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ContentIndex
now there find the Key Called “Startup Delay”Double Click On It Now where its BaseClick Decimal Now its Default Value Is 4800000 (75300:hexadecimal)Change The Value To 40000here u go u have done it now close the Registry Editor and Restart Your Computer

OPTIMIZE WINDOWS START UP BY EDITING STARTOP UP PROGRAMS

Windows XP installation tends to become awry as it gets old. The booting time of your Windows XP will jump up and so will your frustration. To be on the better side when it comes to Quick Windows Booting is editing the startup programs from your MSCONFIG.

To Open the MSCONFIG window click on Start Button, then Run, and then enter msconfig in the Run dialog box. Hit enter and you will be greeted with the window shown in the image above.

The tab which is of your importance in the Services Tab and the Startup Tab. Now it depends on you as to which service you need to disable and which shouldn’t be disabled. I will recommend not to touch Windows Services if you are not aware of what exactly you are up to.

You will have to restart your computer for the settings to take effect and after the restart you will be told once by Windows that you have disabled some services. Just click Ok and you are all set to use the quicker version of your Windows.

QUALITY OF SERVICE( QoS) CAN EAT UP YOUR BANDHWIDTH

This won’t jump start your XP installation by many minutes but for sure it will make a difference in the long run. Windows XP has a User Tracking feature which keeps track of every activity of users and this data is available to the admin for use. This data is totally useless and hence it is always recommended to disable this service.

Browse to the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Explorer

Now look for the DWORD value named NoInstrumentation and if it isn’t available then create it. You need to set this to 1 and hence all the user tracking will be disabled.

It will surely save some space and time of yours in the long run.

To open QoS you first need to open up Group Policy Editor.

• Click on Start button.
• Click on Run.
• Enter gpedit.msc in the Run dialog box.
• Now in the left pane you need to follow this path. Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Network > QoS Packet Scheduler.
• Once you reach here then in the right pane you will find Limit Reservable Bandwidth. Double Click on this and you will see a window.
• All you need to do is Enable the service and then set the Bandwidth Limit to 0%. Click Apply and then OK. Congrats! You now have 20% extra bandwidth for use.

DISABLE USER TRACKING IN WINDOWS XP TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE

This won’t jump start your XP installation by many minutes but for sure it will make a difference in the long run. Windows XP has a User Tracking feature which keeps track of every activity of users and this data is available to the admin for use. This data is totally useless and hence it is always recommended to disable this service.

Browse to the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Explorer

Now look for the DWORD value named NoInstrumentation and if it isn’t available then create it. You need to set this to 1 and hence all the user tracking will be disabled.

It will surely save some space and time of yours in the long run.

AUTO DELETE DLLs AND OVERCAOME SILLY ERRORS

You must be very well aware that Windows XP has the habit of creating Dynamic Link Libraries (DLL files) whenever it is about to start a new program and during installation. These DLL files hog the useful space and many times make the system unstable even when they are of no use. Thus it is always recommended that you delete these DLL files and hence save your system from behaving awkwardly.

Browse to the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer

You will have to look for the DWORD value AlwaysUnloadDLL in the right pane and create the same if it isn’t already present. Assign 1 to this DWORD value and from now on your OS will willingly unload all DLLs when the application which was responsible for these DLLs is no longer in use.

Web Conference Call Services

Web conference call, as obvious from the name, is a process of holding meetings or live presentations using Internet as the platform. It should be noted that web conference calling is different from the discussion boards, as it involves the idea of real-time and live presentations; whereas, in discussion groups, only text messages are allowed. Though very recently, with the use of video cameras and other techniques, web conference calling is adopting almost whole of the video teleconferencing process, and sometimes experts refer to them as the same thing.

Any web conference calling requires some initial setup for each of the participants involved in it. Each one must have a computer, and every computer should be connected to other participants through a reliable Internet connection. A Web conference call involves the features of audio and video. The presenter or the calling party shares the screen of its computer with other participants so as to enable them to see what is on its screen. The audio part is accompanied to this screen through telephone equipments or VOIP. Though it is not mandatory to use

audio part in web conferencing, and some parties do like to use text versions to convey their messages.

Sometimes conventional corporate professionals and people who are not versed in the advanced technologies find it very difficult to adapt to the new system of conferencing, which is gaining firm hold in the business world. The use of web conferencing is breaking the boundaries of corporate sector and entering new arenas also. Web conference calling provides economic arrangement of meetings, and eliminates the need of travelling for conventional face-to-face meetings. Web conference calling is quick in its operation and saves a lot of time, apart from the fact that web conference calls can be recorded for playback option at later times.

Web conference calls are also helpful in business sectors that are more dependent of IT tools and computers. Application and file sharing features of web conference calls make it a must for all IT-based businesses. So, we can well-judge that web conference calling offers new vistas for the technology-based business, and at the same time, saves a lot of time and money for the other types of business.

ATT Conference Call

Advantages and disadvantages of internet banking

Before going to advantages and disadvantages for Internet banking I would like to discuss about what is Internet Banking.

Internet Banking: Internet banking also called as Online Banking. It allows customers to conduct financial transactions on highly secure websites operated by government services. In today’s technology Internet banking assumes a special significance. Before internet banking came in to existence, funds transactions felt a bit difficult. We have to go bank and have to write demand draft or cheque in favor of customer and we have to drop in cheque box. After internet banking came into digital world money transactions became much simpler and faster. Not only funds transfer the use of Internet has revolutionized the way people deal with so many things around the world, like shopping, chatting with friends, currency exchange, selling products etc. Totally everything is online now. Even we can pay current bills, telephone bills; order food and many more we can do online. We can handle each and everything just by sitting before net.


Advantages disadvantages for internet banking:

First let us talk about some advantages of Internet banking.

1) As we know banks will not be open for 24 hours. We cannot withdraw money if the bank has closed. But ATM’s are always open for 24hours. This is the greatest advantage of Internet banking. We can withdraw money any time using this service. Our government has provided extraordinary facility that we can find number of ATM centers around our residential areas. One doesn’t have to go to the bank to request account statement. Everything is provided online by bank officials.

2) Internet banking reduces man power. Few years back we have seen many clerks and cashiers helping clients. But internet banking has

become so useful that it can deal with 1000’s of customers at a time and it is cost effective. There is no need to have many workers in banks .Higher officials made everything online and reduced the work of man power drastically with Internet Banking.

3) Great expenditure on paper slips, cheque books, stationary, electricity and man power has got down and profit margin of the banks has grown up.

4) We can buy any product through online using credit facility. This is also great advantage of Internet banking.

5) We can easily transfer funds from one bank to another bank with zero percent interest. This facility helps when we are away from our station. For example if you are in some Y station and you don’t find your bank in Y station. What will you do? You just transfer your money from your bank to any bank which presents in Y station. Everything happens in seconds.

6) You can also trade using Internet banking and you can also apply for loan without visiting bank. Internet banking has made life much easier and simpler. It is more pleasant for bankers as well as for customers.

Disadvantages using Internet Banking:

Really I don’t find much disadvantages using internet banking. But we have to be much careful about our credit cards. We should not have to buy any products from unlicensed websites. There may be chances of loosing our money from those kinds of website. Don’t install any softwares in your pc which doesn’t have any license. Why because many softwares comes with viruses. Those viruses cannot be found even if we scan our complete PC. Whenever we login our online bank account these virus export our passwords to their emails. This is how passwords are being hacked without knowingly. Thus the activities of Internet banking has became more benefits to its disadvantages.

These are the few Advantages and disadvantages for Internet banking

How To Change Windows Xp Product ID

This article describes two methods for how to change the Windows XP product key after a Volume Licensing installation to resolve the issue. One method uses the Windows Activation Wizard graphical user interface (GUI) and the other method uses a Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) script. The Activation Wizard method is easier. However, if you must change the product key for multiple computers, the script method is more suitable.

Method 1: Use the Activation Wizard


Important:This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

322756 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756/ ) How to back up and restore the registry in WindowsI f you only have a few volume licensing product keys to change, you can use the Activation Wizard. Note We recommend that you run System Restore to create a new restore point before you follow these steps.

Deactivate Windows:

1.Click Start, and then click Run.

2.In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK.

3.In the navigation pane, locate and then click the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Current Version\WPAEvents

4.In the topic pane, right-click OOBETimer, and then click Modify.

5.Change at least one digit of this value to deactivate Windows.

Reactivate Windows and add new product key

1 .Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type the following command, and then click OK.

85%;">%systemroot%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a
3. Click Yes, I want to telephone a customer service representative to activate Windows, and then click Next.
4. Click Change Product key.

5.Type the new product key in the New key boxes, and then click Update.If you are returned to the previous window, click Remind me later, and then restart the computer.

6.Repeat steps 1 and 2 to verify that Windows is activated. You receive the following message:
Windows is already activated. Click OK to exit.
7.Click OK.

8.Install Windows XP Service Pack 1a or a later version of Windows XP.

If you cannot restart Windows after you install Windows XP SP1 or a later version of Windows XP, try the following steps:

1.Restart your computer and start pressing F8 until you see the Windows Advanced Options menu.
2.Select Last Known Good Configuration from the menu and press ENTER. This option starts Windows by using a previous good configuration.
3.Repeat steps 1 through 8 under "Reactivate Windows and add new product key."


If you can install SP1 or a later version of Windows XP and you can restart Windows, you have resolved the issue. If the issue has not been resolved, try method 2 or see the "Next Steps" section for more troubleshooting resources.

Method 2: Use a script

If you must change the product key for multiple computers, we recommend this method. You can create a WMI script that changes the volume licensing product key, and then deploy this script in a startup script.

The sample ChangeVLKey2600.vbs script and the sample ChangeVLKeySP1 script that are described in this section use the new volume licensing key that you want to enter as a single argument. It is in a five-part alphanumeric form.

We recommend that you use the ChangeVLKey2600.vbs script on Windows XP-based computers that are not running Windows XP SP1 and later versions of Windows XP and that you use the ChangeVLKeySP1.vbs script on Windows XP-based computers that are running Windows XP SP1 and later versions of Windows XP. These scripts perform the following functions:

*They remove the hyphen characters (-) from the five-part alphanumeric product key.
*They create an instance of the win32_WindowsProductActivation class.
*They call the SetProductKey method with the new volume licensing product key.

Concept Of An Anti Spam Softwares & Toolkits

In this article, you will discover the concept of an anti spam toolkit with the objective to provide a comprehensive policy orientation and consistent framework in the fight against spam. The was a conviction that this framework would also be applicable and useful. These composed the inter-related elements, addressing:


Regulatory approaches:
The development of anti spam legislation that tackles spams and related problems is fundamental. Legislation should set clear directions on what is allowed and what is not allowed.
Industry driven initiatives:
In order to appropriately deal with spam,, domestic anti-spam should be coupled with private sector initiatives.


Technical solutions:
Anti spam tools operate of many levels - at the point of origination of email, in the backbone network, at the gateway and on the recipient computer - and may be used alone in combination. Any attempt to combat spam effectively must involve the sensible application and administration of a number of these technological tools and methods. No method will be entirely successful in isolation. When a number of anti-spam

technologies
(software etc.) are effectively used in collaboration with one another, the can drastically reduce the level of spam affecting a system.


Education and awareness:
A comprehensive anti-spam strategy must ensure that the end user who is the final recipient of spam, the possible victim of viruses and scams and at the same time, the person who has control over the computer and personal information, is sufficiently educated and aware of how to deal with spam and other online threats. Ducat ion and awareness-raising activities are needed in large enterprises, small and medium-sized enterprises, for residential users and in education establishment. They must aim to create a culture of security, and encourage a responsible use of cyberspace.

How Broadband Phone Works ?

If you are wondering how broadband phone service actually works. Then here i am posing an article about how broadband phone service works.

Broadband phones use the Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) to transmit phone calls over the Internet rather than through the telephony network. In other words, calls are transmitted over broadband rather than through telephone lines.

Technically, when you make a broadband phone call, VoIP converts your voice into digital packets that are sent over the Internet and converted back into analog signals before they reach the receiver on the other end (if you’re using a broadband phone to call someone who’s using a landline or cell phone).

Both hardware and software broadband phones are available. Hardware broadband phones use an adapter (either as an add-on to your traditional phone or

built in to an all-in-one phone unit). The hardware is then connected to either the router on your network (via Ethernet) or your PC (via USB). Software broadband phones use a software program to make broadband calls.
VoIP, the technology that makes broadband phones possible, is being hailed as the future of communications and more companies are offering broadband phone services every day.

Because broadband phone calls bypass regular Telco tolls, broadband phone service providers are able to offer lower rates, particularly on long distance calls. However, as of this writing, broadband phone services still don’t have the reliability and quality the regular telephone network provides.

WiMAX - The Future Broadband

Think about how you access the Internet today. There are basically three different options:

Broadband access - In your home, you have either a DSL or cable modem. At the office, your company may be using a T1 or a T3 line.

WiFi access -In your home, you may have set up a WiFi router that lets you surf the Web while you lounge with your laptop . On the road, you can find WiFihot spots in restaurants, hotels, coffe shops and libraries.

Dial-up access -If you are still using dial-up, chances are that either broadband access is not available, or you think that broadband access is too expensive.

The main problems with broadband access are that it is pretty expensive and it doesn't reach all areas. The main problem with WiFi access is that hot spots are very small, so coverage is sparse.

What if there were a new technology that solved all of these problems?
This new technology would provide:

*The high speed of broadband service
*Wireless rather than wired access, so it would be a lot less expensive than cable or
DSL and much easier to extend to suburban and rural areas
*Broad coverage like the cell phone network instead of small WiFi hotspots

This system is actually coming into being right now, and it is called WiMAX. WiMAX is short

for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, and it also goes by the IEEE name 802.16.

WiMAX has the potential to do to broadband Internet access what cell phones have done to phone access. In the same way that many people have given up their "land lines" in favor of cell phones, WiMAX could replace cable and DSL services, providing universal Internet access just about anywhere you go. WiMAX will also be as painless as WiFi -- turning your computer on will automatically connect you to the closest available WiMAX antenna.
In this article, we'll find out how WiMAX works, what engineers are doing to make it better and what it could mean for the future of wireless Internet.

MAKE YOUR MENUS LOAD FASTER

This is one of my favorite tweaks as it makes a huge difference to

how fast your machine will 'feel'. What this tweak does is remove

the slight delay between clicking on a menu and XP displaying the menu.

Go to Start then Run

Type 'Regedit' then click 'Ok'

Find "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control

Panel\Desktop\"

Select "MenuShowDelay"
Right click and select "Modify' Reduce the number to around "100"

This is the delay time before a menu is opened. You can set it to "0"

but it can make windows really hard to use as menus will open if you

just look at them - well move your mouse over them anyway.

I tend to go for anywhere between 50-150 depending on my mood.

Hide Control Panel Applets (Windows 95/98/Me)

This tweak allows you to show or hide any of the applets

found in the Windows Control Panel.

Open CONTROL.INI (usually found in the C:\WINDOWS)

and add the following lines under the "[don't load]" subsection.

If the "[don't load]" section doesn't already exist

then create it be adding it on a new line at the end of the file.

F or each control panel applet to be hidden add a new line

with text in the format "applet.cpl=no" (e.g. fax.cpl=no).

Common Control Panel Applets:

rgb(204, 102, 0);">access.cpl - Accessibility Applet
appwiz.cpl - Add/Remove Programs Applet
console.cpl - Console Applet
timedate.cpl - Date and Time Applet

Hide The Hard Disk Partition Or Drive

This trick is for all those people who want to hide tons of data into their box.

So here it is, if you have very important data in your hard drive placed in

some partition which you do not want anybody to access then this trick is only for you!

· Just click on start>run type gpedit.msc, now navigate through user configuration> administrative templates > windows components> windows explorer,

now double click on “Hide these specified drives in My Computer” modify it accordingly then just below you will find another option “Prevent access to drives from My Computer”, double click on this option and modify it accordingly.

· To make it visible again select "disable" by double clicking on the “Hide these specified drives in My Computer” option.

How to Clone a Hard Drive Partition

Did know that you could clone your current Hard Drive without

having to by extra software? Maybe you didn't know that all that

you needed, was already set up on your current system? Well,

it is... and if you follow this tut, you shouldn't have much of a problem.

Make sure that you have a Master and a Slave setup on your system.

The Slave drive, in this case, is where all the data on the Master is going to go to.

First: Perform a Scandisk your Master drive and follow that

with a thorough Defrag. If you have an Antivirus program, do a thorough

sweep with the AV first, then do the Scandisk, followed by the Defrag.

Second: Do the same thing to the target drive, as you did the Master:

Scandisk then a thorough Defrag.

Third: Right-click on the Target drive and click on Format.

When the box comes up, click your mouse onto the "Full"

button.

Fourth: After Formatting the Target drive, run a Scandisk again

and click on the button that says "Autofix Errors".

Fifth: In this final part, you might want to cut-and-paste to code in,

unless you are sure that you can do it without making any mistakes:

Click on the "Start" button, then click on the "Run..." button,

then place the following into the Runbox:

"XCOPY C:\*.*D:\ /c/h/e/k/r" (minus the quotes, of course) then press the "Enter" button.

If you receive an error message, then remove the space from between XCOPY and C:\

Anything that should happen to come up in the DOS box, just click "Y" for "Yes".

When its all finished, pull the original Master from the system, designate

the Slave as the Master (change your jumpers), then check your new Master out.

This tut has worked and has been tested on all systems except for

Windows 2000, so you really shouldn't have any problems.

If, by any chance, you should come across a snag, message me and I'll walk you through it.

Create A Hidden User Account

This tweak allows an account that is normally displayed on the Welcome screen to be hidden from view. To log on using the account it's necessary to use the Log On To Windows dialog box similar to the one in Windows 2000.

#[Start] [Run] [Regedit]

#Registry Key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList

#Modify/Create the Value Data

Type(s) and Value Name(s) as detailed below.

#Data Type: REG_DWORD [Dword Value] // Value Name: Type Name of Account to be Hidden

#Setting for Value Data: [0 = Account is Hidden / 1 = Enabled]

#Exit Registry and Reboot...

While the account is hidden on the Welcome screen, note that the account profile will be visible in C:\Documents and Settings or wherever user profiles are stored as well as in Local Users and Groups

Speed Up DSL/cable Internet Connections Speed

This a very simply and effective way to speed up DSL and cable internet connections speed via editing windows registry.This registry tweak work precisely for me. It double my internet access speed.

But unfortunately this registry hack doesn't make good changes

for Dial up connections. So if you're a Dial up connection user this

may not work pretty for you. For that case I added undo option

for this hack , if this isn't work then dial up users can turn back their

registry settings for default settings by using the undo code that I given below.

First copy the following code into to Notepad,

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Tcpip\Parameters]

"GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize"=dword:0000ffff

Then save it with ".reg" extension,

Ex: "speedup.reg"

Now all you have to do to is double-click on that file

style="font-size: 85%;">When the dialog appear, "Are you sure you want to add the information in

C:\path to file\*.reg to the registry? " click on yes to add information to your registry.

If you want to undo the changes that you made by above steps to your registry ,here is the code for that.

Copy this and proceed above steps for made changes to default.

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Tcpip\Parameters]

"GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize"=dword:00007fff

This registry tweak work wonders with me and it increased my connection speed from double. You can measure your achievement by testing your speed before make changes to your registry and after do the changes:

Test internet access speed from here:

Test Speed

Registry edits may take effects after restarting your computer so

please restart your computer before check achievement of changes

and don't do anyother works during the testing process.

Speed Up Your Internet Explorer Browsing Speeds

Like Firefox, Internet Explorer is very slow to load pages. There are various

reasons for this: the number of simultaneous connections that IE makes with

the server is limited and it also keeps searching for network shares and printers.

Here are some registry tweaks to Speed up Internet Explorer and significantly

improve your Internet browsing experience.

In the Registry editor, go to

0);">HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/

RemoteComputer/NameSpace/{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}

and delete the key named Printers. That ought to do the trick.

For opening up to 16 simultaneous connections with the remote server,

and hence pushing your speeds up considerably, you need to modify

(or create, if they don’t exist) two values in the registry. Go to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\InternetSettings and check these two DWORD values:

MaxConnectionPer1_0Server and MaxConnectionsPerServer.


Change their values to 0000010 and 00000010 respectively. After doing

the customary restart you will notice increase in browsing speeds.

Always use your anti-virus software.:Make sure your anti-virus software is always turned on and scanning, incoming and outgoing email messages, and any software programs you run.

Keep your antivirus programs up to date. Most programs come with a yearly subscription make sure you take advantage of the updates. More advanced programs allow you to schedule updates or full system scans for “off hours” like 2AM when you aren’t likely to be using your computer.

Keep your computer up to date. From time to time operating systems fall victim to security holes or issue updates. Make sure you check periodically to make sure you are running stable up to date versions of your software.

Backup your data regularly. Most windows computer users keep their documents in the “My documents” folder. This makes it easy to back up all of your important documents. Make weekly or monthly

copies to CD or USB drives.

If you use floppy disks or USB drives on public computers like your school computer lab, Kinko’s, or even digital photo printing store make sure you scan them for viruses. Public computers are notorious for not being up to date and properly protected.

Be wary of email attachments. Treat any email attachment as potentially dangerous. Never open attachments from people you weren’t expecting. Also be careful of attachments from people you know but weren’t expecting. Many computer viruses replicate themselves by reading the contacts from an infected computer.

Use text email if possible. While HTML email is prettier and allows you more control over formatting it also can carry computer viruses. If you use text based email the only way to get a virus is by opening an attachment.

Use downloaded freeware and shareware files or software with caution. Try to download them from popular reputable sources that scan the programs before they are uploaded. To make sure you are safe scan the program before you install it on your computer.
Be wary of links in IM or instant messaging software. Don’t accept invitations from people you don’t know and never click a link from someone you don’t trust, they can easily redirect you to another website that will try to install a virus on your computer system.

How Computer Virus Work ?

Computer viruses are mysterious and grab our attention.

On the one hand, viruses show us how vulnerable we are.

A properly engineered virus can have an amazing effect

on the worldwide Internet. On the other hand, they show

how sophisticated and interconnected human beings have become.

For example, the thing making big news right now is the Mydoom

worm, which experts estimate infected approximately a

quarter-million computers in a single day (Times Online).

Back in March 1999, the Melissa virus was so powerful that

it forced Microsoft and a number of other very

large companies

to completely turn off their e-mail systems until the virus

could be contained. The ILOVEYOU virus in 2000 had a

similarly devastating effect. That's pretty impressive when

you consider that the Melissa and ILOVEYOU viruses are incredibly simple.

In this article, we will discuss viruses -- both "traditional" viruses

and the newer e-mail viruses -- so that you can learn how they work

and also understand how to protect yourself. Viruses in general are

on the wane, but occasionally a person finds a new way to create one,

and that's when they make the news.
