1. Security:
Shortcut or
Single-Click to
Quickly Lock
Down Windows
Locking windows is very
essential in office or even
in home environments to
prevent others from
snooping on your
potentially sensitive
information or that
surprise birthday party
you have been planning
for weeks. We will show
you a way to lock your
windows with a double-
click / single-click or a
shortcut. Now you have
no excuse to leave your
computer unprotected,
even for a short break.
1. Create a new
shortcut on your
desktop using a right
mouse click
2. enter
rundll32.exeuser32.dll,LockWorkStation
in the location field.
3. Name the shortcut
with anything.
4. When needed just
double click on it and
you are done.its
locked.
5. If you are lazier , just
press Windows+L
and that is it
2. How to Remove
Hidden Software
Suppose you want to
remove Windows
Messenger, because its
worthless according to
you in this age of YM , G-
Talks n all. How can you
do it? Its not even listed
in the Add Remove
Program at the Control
Panel.
1. Find and edit the text
file at c:\windows
\inf\sysoc.inf OR
Go to Windows
folder
Find the Inf
folder inside that
Search for the
sysoc.inf file
2. Search for the word
hide and remove it.
Do NOT remove any
other text from the
line.
3. Now you can go to
the Add or Remove
Programs in the
Control Panel
4. Select Add/Remove
Windows
Components and
there you can find
your unwanted
software. Go ahead
and Uninstall.
3. How to Remove
Shortcut Arrows
to Give Desktop
Icons a Better
Look
Here's how you can
remove those shortcut
arrows from your
desktop icons in
Windows XP.
1. Go to registry by
clicking on Start
menu -> run and
type regedit
2. Navigate to HKEY_
CLASSES_ROOT ->
lnkfile
or
Press CTRL+F and
then at the search
box type lnkfile and
search.
3. Delete the
IsShortcut registry
value.
You may need to restart
Windows XP.
P.S.- Its always good to
be on the safer side
before modifying registry
settings and make
backups.
4. How To Delete
Annoying Multiple
Entries in Boot
Screen
Suppose you have
multiple copies of
Windows XP installed in
your PC in different
drives or installed
Windows XP on top of
another operating
system like Windows 98
or Windows 2000. Now,
though you may have
removed some or all of
the older versions, still
the boot screen
continues to show the
old operating system
entries. Isn't it annoying
and confusing to
remember and select
every time the only right
option? Don't worry, here
is how you can get rid of
the problem forever:
1. Load windows and
login if required
2. Go to Start menu,
click on Run and then
type cmd. This open
up the command
window.
3. Type this command:
bootcfg /delete /id
x
where x is the
number of the option
you want to delete.
Say, for example, you
want to delete 2nd
boot option then you
will type bootcfg /
delete /id 2 and so
on.
4. Now reboot the
machine to check
that you have only
the correct option(s)
available.
Note:
Please be careful in
step 3 and don't
delete the correct
operating system
because that will
prevent you from
booting.
Repeat step 3 to
delete all
unnecessary
operating system
menus.
5. How to Convert
between FAT32 &
NTFS in Windows
FAT32 & NTFS, for those
its greek, are two
popular file systems
available in windows. For
those who are curious let
me give a simple
overview of both of
them:
NTFS provides:
advanced security
using access control
lists
Provides file &
directory
compression for
storing more data
Encryption
Quotas
Robustness
NTFS is highly
recommended for
sensitive data. A clean
installed of Windows XP
installs NTFS by default.
However if you are
installing Windows XP
over other operating
system like Windows 98,
you may have installed
FAT32 as your file
system.
The only benefit of
FAT32 is that you can
simultaneously use
FAT32 formatted disks
with older operating
systems like Windows 95
Service Pack 2 and
Windows 98 in a machine
with multiple operating
systems.
Personally I would
always recommend NTFS
over FAT32 any day.
More on FAT32 & NTFS
here.
So now if you are allured
to convert your files to
NTFS , is there a way?
Yes sir. there is.
1. Open Command
Prompt.
2. Click Start, point to
All Programs,
3. Point to Accessories
4. Click Command
Prompt
5. In the command
prompt window,
type: convert drive_
letter: /fs:ntfs
For example, typing
convert D: /fs:ntfs
would format drive D:
from FAT to NTFS.
Isn't it simple ?
6. How to Rename
Recycle Bin on
Windows
How irritating is that
when you want to do
something from your
own machine and you can
not do it just because
the programmer didn't
give you the facility?
Let's say one fine
morning you said, I will
rename 'Recycle Bin' to
'Use Me' or 'Trash Can'.
Can you do it? … Well, you
are lucky this time. I will
tell you how you can
rename your recycle bin:
1. Go to registry by
clicking on Start
menu -> run
2. Type regedit
3. Go to: HKEY_
CLASSES_ROOT/
CLSID/
{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
or
Press CTRL+F and
then at the search
box type
{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
4. Right click on default
and click on Modify
5. Change the name of
Recycle Bin to
whatever you want.
You are done!
P.S.- Its always good to
be on the safer side
before modifying registry
settings and make
backups.
7. How To
Prioritize Your
Important
Applications
We do multitasking all
the time with our PC
right? How unfair it
would be to lose a CD
while burning your
favorite songs just
because you were
watching a video at the
same time and the
processor couldn't take
the load?
Here is your solution:
1. Press CTRL-SHIFT-
ESC.
2. Go to the second tab
called Processes
3. Right click on one of
the active processes,
you will see the Set
Priority option
4. For e.g., Run your CD
writer program, set
the priority higher,
and no more wasted
cd from now on.
Happy?
8. How To Make
Start Menu Arrive
Faster
Start menu is like an
unemployed oaf. It
makes a leisurely
appearance while you are
waiting for it after
logging in to Windows.
Here is how you can
make it appear much
faster:
1. Go to registry by
clicking on Start
menu -> run and type
regedit
2. Find out HKEY_
CURRENT_USER/
ControlPanel/
Desktop/
MenuShowDelay
or
Press CTRL+F and
then at the search
box type
MenuShowDelay
3. From the default 400,
change to something
a little snappier. Like
50,40, 30 or say 0!
P.S.- Its always good to
be on the safer side
before modifying registry
settings and make
backups.
9. How to
Permanently
Stick Your
Program in Start
Menu
Let's say, you have a
software that is very
important but you don't
use it frequently like your
tax software for
example. So the practical
difficulty is to find it
every time from All
Programs because you
aren't likely to get it
under Start menu
option. It kills time,
complicates the process
and consequently makes
you less productive. So
what you do is:
1. Right click on any .exe
file in Explorer, My
Computer, Desktop
2. Select Pin to Start
Menu,
3. The program is then
displayed on the
start menu, above
the separator line.
4. To remove it, click
the file on the start
menu and select
' Unpin from Start
Menu'. Below you can
check the before and
after shots.
You are done now. Your
program will forever
remain in the Start menu
or until the next window
crash.
10. How to Send
Any File to Any
Place By One Click
What if I tell you a trick
that helps you to send a
particular file anywhere
you like in Windows XP
without going to that
particular place? Sounds
interesting?
The process is simple.
You can do that by
providing more locations
to Send To option that
comes when you right
click on a particular file.
To do that,
1. Go to C:\Documents
and Settings\User_
name\SendTo
(where User_Name
is your user name)
2. The folder will be
filled with shortcuts
to all the locations
you find on your
Send To context
menu.
3. To remove an item
from the Send To
menu, delete the
shortcut from the
folder.
AND
1. To add an item to
the menu, add a
shortcut to the
folder by highlighting
the folder,
2. Choose File → New →
Shortcut, and follow
the subsequent
instructions for
creating a shortcut.
The new setting will
take effect
immediately; you
don't have to exit
Windows Explorer for
it to go into effect.
Bonus: How to
Close Unwanted
Services
"You never know what's
going behind your back",
That is how a famous
quote goes. But in XP we
can make sure that no
unwanted service goes
unnoticed . To disable
unneeded start-up
services for a safer,
faster XP, do the
following
1. Use the Services
Admin Tool
( Control Panel >
Administrative
Tools > Services)
2. If you are a single
user of a non-
networked machine,
you can disable the
following items (such
as
alerter ,clipbook ,net
logon etc) with no ill
effect.
