Well Some More XP Secrets
Windows XP - Secrets
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.

Navigate to your desktop. On the desktop, right-cl!ck and go to New, then to Shortcut (in
other words, create a new shortcut). You should now see a pop-up window instructing you
to enter a command line path.
Use this path in "Type Location of the Item"
SHUTDOWN -s -t 01
If the C: drive is not your local hard drive, then replace "C" with the correct letter of the
hard drive. cl!ck the "Next" button. Name the shortcut and cl!ck the "Finish" button. Now
whenever you want to shut down, just cl!ck on this shortcut and you're done.

Microsoft reserves 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes like Windows
Updates and interrogating your PC etc
To get it back:
cl!ck Start then Run and type " gpedit.msc" without quotes.This opens the group policy
editor. Then go to:
Local Computer Policy then Computer Configuration then Administrative Templates then
Network then QOS Packet Scheduler and then to Limit Reservable Bandwidth.
Double cl!ck on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is
under the 'Explain' tab i.e."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%.It works on Win 2000 as well.

Renaming The Recycle Bin icon:
To change the name of the Recycle Bin desktop icon, cl!ck Start then goto Run, write
Regedit and press Enter. It opens Registry Editor. Now in Registry Editor go to:
Managing Tasks:
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.

Open registry editor by going to Start then Run and entering regedit. Once in registry,
navigate to key

There are a variety of reasons why your windows XP system would boot slowly. Most of
the times it this has to do with the startup applications. If you would like to speed up the
bootup sequence, consider removing some of the startup applications that you do not
need. Easiest way to remove startup apps is through System Configuration Utility. Go to
Start then Run and enter MSCONFIG and go to the Startup tab. Deselect/UnCheck
application( s) that you do not want to startup at boot time.
==================================================
=================
Open Registry by going to Start then Run, entering regedit and Navigate to

you want to see displayed at login screen.

As a security measure to prevent the intrusion of potential viruses, Gmail strictly disallows
users to send and receive executable files (files with the extension ".exe", ".dll", ".ocx" or
".bat") in its policy. If you try to send these files, Gmail will send you an error message:
"This is an executable file. For security reasons, Gmail does not allow you to send this type
of file." You might try to zip or compress the files into other formats such as ".zip", ".tar",
".tgz", ".taz", ".z" or ".gz". However, your Gmail account will bounce back your message.
How to send executable files with your Gmail account if you really need to do so?
Of course the easiest way is to use other email services such as Yahoo to send your
important executable files. However, if you are still set on using Gmail to send your
executable files, there are a few ways you can try: -
1. You can rename your executable files from the "exe" extension to other formats such as
"doc", "jpeg", etc. For instance, your file name is happy.exe; just rename your file to
happy.doc and send it over to the receivers. Once the receivers have received the files,
they just need to change the extension back to the original file extension.
2. The other way you can try is upload your executable files to some free file hosting
service such as DivShare or Rapidshare. Copy down the link and send it to the receivers.
It's pretty straightforward.
3. The last option you can try is to compress your executable file by using Winrar. Gmails
doesn't scan files in the RAR format. You can send the file out without a problem.
However, you must make sure your receivers can open the RAR files
