IMPROVING BOOTUP TIME

A great new feature in Microsoft Windows XP is the ability to do a boot defragment. This places all boot files next to each other on the disk to allow for faster booting. By default this option is enabled, but on some systems it is not, so below is the information on how to turn it on:

Go to Start Menu and Click Run
Type in regedit then click ok
Find "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfrg\BootOpt imizeFunction"
Select "Enable" from the list on the right
Right on it and select "Modify"
Change the value to Y .
Reboot your Pc and see the change yourself.

IMPROVING SHUTDOWN TIME

This tweak reduces the time XP waits before automatically closing any running programs when you give it the command to shutdown.
Go to Start then select Run
Type 'Regedit' and click ok
Find 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\'
Select 'WaitToKillAppTimeout'
Right click and select 'Modify'
Change the value to '1000'
Click 'OK'
Now select 'HungAppTimeout'
Right click and select 'Modify'
Change the value to '1000'
Click 'OK'

Hiding folder in different way.........

Hey, If u want 2 hide folder safely just do dis....

1)Right click on folder> Click Rename> Prees ALT+0160 in Num Pad

2)Right click on folder> Click Properties> Click Customize> Click Change icon> & find if black space (Near Star icon)> Click Apply

U r folder is safely hidden...........

Enjoy!!!!

U can see it in the command prompt by dir command...

Well an another method to do the trick, but U don't need any password or anything ... Just U have 2 remember the filename n Path exactly, because if U will forget the filename then there is a very less chance to recover it...

Lets say, U have created a folder "Crack ME!" in the directory "C:\Windows\System32\" ( I choosed this one as my destination, as in System32 there r a lot of files... n it will be difficult or can say really impossible to trackdown ur file down )

So, now, "Crack ME!" is my File/folder name in

"C:\Windows\System32\" is my path......

these 2 r very imp, I repeat it.....

Don't forget... !!!

1. Well RUN > cmd

2. cd C:\Windows\System32\ ( This is the Path, U have 2 go first !!! )... Prass Enter

3. Now be careful....... Type exacly the same...

attrib +h +r +s +a Crack Me! ( i.e, the folder name !!!)

4. Now check it out..... Ur file is hidden, n even in the folder option the don't hide option can't detect it........

5. When U want to view the files in it or add some files,...... type

attrib -h -r -s -a Crack Me!

I hope U will try this .......

Block websites without using any software!!

• Open the folder C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc.
• Look for the file HOSTS.
• Open the file HOSTS in your favorite Text Editor ( mine is Textpad)
• Under the line "127.0.0.1 localhost" add another line as "127.0.0.2 www.abc.com ".
• Similarly to block www.def.com add another line as "127.0.0.3 www.def.com ".
• Both the sites are now blocked. In case if you want to add more in your blocked websites list, just edit the list and add more.
