You’ve read the reviews and digested the key

feature enhancements and operational changes.


Now it’s time to delve a bit deeper and uncover
some of Windows XP’s secrets.
1. 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).

2. You can delete files immediately, without having them move to the Recycle Bin first. Go to
the Start menu, select Run… and type ‘gpedit.msc’; then select User Configuration,
Administrative Templates, Windows Components, Windows Explorer and find the Do not move
deleted files to the Recycle Bin setting. Set it. Poking around in gpedit will reveal a great many
interface and system options, but take care — some may stop your computer behaving as you
wish. (Professional Edition only).

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. For those skilled in the art of DOS batch files, XP has a number of interesting new commands.
These include ‘eventcreate’ and ‘eventtriggers’ for creating and watching system events,
‘typeperf’ for monitoring performance of various subsystems, and ’schtasks’ for handling
scheduled tasks. As usual, typing the command name followed by /? will give a list of options —
they’re all far too baroque to go into here.

6. XP has IP version 6 support — the next generation of IP. Unfortunately this is more than your
ISP has, so you can only experiment with this on your LAN. Type ‘ipv6 install’ into Run… (it’s
OK, it won’t ruin your existing network setup) and then ‘ipv6 /?’ at the command line to find out
more. If you don’t know what IPv6 is, don’t worry and don’t bother.

7. 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.

8. XP will treat Zip files like folders, which is nice if you’ve got a fast machine. On slower
machines, you can make XP leave zip files well alone by typing ‘regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll’ at the
command line. If you change your mind later, you can put things back as they were by typing
‘regsvr32 zipfldr.dll’.

9. XP has ClearType — Microsoft’s anti-aliasing font display technology — but doesn’t have it
enabled by default. It’s well worth trying, especially if you were there for DOS and all those
years of staring at a screen have given you the eyes of an astigmatic bat. To enable ClearType,
right click on the desktop, select Properties, Appearance, Effects, select ClearType from the
second drop-down menu and enable the selection. Expect best results on laptop displays. If you
want to use ClearType on the Welcome login screen as well, set the registry entry
HKEY_USERS/.DEFAULT/Control Panel/Desktop/FontSmoothingType to 2.

10. You can use Remote Assistance to help a friend who’s using network address translation
(NAT) on a home network, but not automatically. Get your pal to email you a Remote Assistance
invitation and edit the file. Under the RCTICKET attribute will be a NAT IP address, like
192.168.1.10. Replace this with your chum’s real IP address — they can find this out by going to
Code:

http://www.whatismyip.com

— and get them to make sure that they’ve got port 3389 open on their firewall and forwarded to
the errant computer.

11. You can run a program as a different user without logging out and back in again. Right click
the icon, select Run As… and enter the user name and password you want to use. This only
applies for that run. The trick is particularly useful if you need to have administrative
permissions to install a program, which many require. Note that you can have some fun by
running programs multiple times on the same system as different users, but this can have
unforeseen effects.

12. Windows XP can be very insistent about you checking for auto updates, registering a
Passport, using Windows Messenger and so on. After a while, the nagging goes away, but if you
feel you might slip the bonds of sanity before that point, run Regedit, go to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Explorer/Advanced
and create a DWORD value called EnableBalloonTips with a value of 0.

13. You can start up without needing to enter a user name or password. Select Run… from the
start menu and type ‘control userpasswords2′, which will open the user accounts application. On
the Users tab, clear the box for Users Must Enter A User Name And Password To Use This
Computer, and click on OK. An Automatically Log On dialog box will appear; enter the user
name and password for the account you want to use.

14. Internet Explorer 6 will automatically delete temporary files, but only if you tell it to. Start
the browser, select Tools / Internet Options… and Advanced, go down to the Security area and
check the box to Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed.

15. XP comes with a free Network Activity Light, just in case you can’t see the LEDs twinkle on
your network card. Right click on My Network Places on the desktop, then select Properties.
Right click on the description for your LAN or dial-up connection, select Properties, then check
the Show icon in notification area when connected box. You’ll now see a tiny network icon on
the right of your task bar that glimmers nicely during network traffic.

16. The Start Menu can be leisurely when it decides to appear, but you can speed things along by
changing the registry entry HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Desktop/MenuShowDelay
from the default 400 to something a little snappier. Like 0.

17. You can rename loads of files at once in Windows Explorer. Highlight a set of files in a
window, then right click on one and rename it. All the other files will be renamed to that name,
with individual numbers in brackets to distinguish them. Also, in a folder you can arrange icons
in alphabetised groups by View, Arrange Icon By… Show In Groups.

18. Windows Media Player will display the cover art for albums as it plays the tracks — if it
found the picture on the Internet when you copied the tracks from the CD. If it didn’t, or if you
have lots of pre-WMP music files, you can put your own copy of the cover art in the same
directory as the tracks. Just call it folder.jpg and Windows Media Player will pick it up and
display it.

19. Windows key + Break brings up the System Properties dialogue box; Windows key + D
brings up the desktop; Windows key + Tab moves through the taskbar buttons.

Windows uses 20% of your bandwidth Here's how to Get it back

A nice little tweak for XP. Microsoft reserve 20% of your available bandwidth for their
own

purposes (suspect for updates and interrogating your machine etc..)

Here's how to get it back:

Click Start-->Run-->type "gpedit.msc" without the "

This opens the group policy editor.

Then go to:

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 reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO.

This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20%.

some tips about internet

if u like my uploads and tips don't forgot to Rep me brothers


i wan to reveal this to non computers users especially
got to run and type cmd
and
type ipconfig /all
and see what is coming
now it will list ur
ipaddress
d.n.s
and much more
what is i.p address
each website in the net will have an i.p address.it will have four blocks separated by three dots
how it is used
here comes D.N.S
since human beings are able to remember words better than numbers
so the D.N.s concept applied to remove this difficulty
D.N.S
it is the abbreviation of domain naming system
what is the use of this D.N.S
we are now typing
Code:
http://www.google.co.in/

and not i.p address that we have to type really


here the role played by D.N.S
D.N.S will convert the this into corresponding ipaddress
and thus we are able to get the corresponding webpage
how it will work
it will be done by maintaining a database(database is a collections of facts maintained in a easier
way by having tables like structure)
that is each i.p address and corresponding domain name are mapped
