    change start up and shutdown of your win xp
    Have you ever felt bugged-up with the Start-up and Shutdown jingle of your Windows XP or Vista ? If yes, here is the solution, now you use any of your favorite voice or music or dialogue as your PC’s shutdown and start up.It’s a simple 4 step process. Step 1. Choose the track which you want to play at start-up and shutdown jingles,Limitations are* It should be in .WAV format.* The size of file should not be large, prefer keeping them within in 1 Mb, otherwise your startup will take a bit longer.If the file you want to make your start-up or shutdown is not in .WAV format, you can easily convert them using any converter. Step 2. Now rename these files as “Windows XP Startup.WAV” and “Windows XP Shutdown.WAV” respectively. Step 3.Now Go to “C:\WINDOWS\MEDIA”, here you will find files “Windows XP Startup.WAV” and “Windows XP Shutdown.WAV”, move them to some other locations, this step is required for, in case you need to revert back these sounds, else you can ignore this step. Step 4. Now the files you have chosen and renamed, just copy-paste or cut paste them in “C:\WINDOWS\MEDIA”, here you go, now you can enjoy the new Start-up and shutdown.
    restricted pc shutdown
    Both Vista and Windows XP let you take control of preventing a user not to shutdown the machine by editing the group policy. For example if your friend is using your computer and you went somewhere ( and you have still some unsaved document left) and he shutdowns the pc without saving them…you loose a good amount of data. ( Trust me I have lost one whole blog post and project code at same time ). This is what you can doRestrict PC Shutdown* Type gpedit.msc in run dialog box [ WIN KEY + R ]* This will open Group Policy Editor. Now there are two things in it, Computer Configuration and User Configuration* Click on User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Start Menu and Task Bar* Now look for “remove and prevent access to shutdown command”* Double Click and Enable it.* Exit the group policy editor.This setting removes the Shut Down option from the Start menu and disables the Shut Down button on the Windows Security dialog box, which appears when you press CTRL+ALT+DEL. This setting prevents users from using the Windows user interface to shut down the system.Now if you try to shutdown by clicking on start , the shutdown button must have disappeared. Moreover check the task manager and you will find all shutdown,restart and others disabled except switch user.

    screenshotscreen.....
    Screen Shot….Hold down the control key and look in the upper right side above your letter keys for “Print Screen SysRq” or “Prnt Scrn” or something to that effect and hit it.Next, open a new file in “Paint” (Probably Start/Programs/Accessories/Paint).Next under Edit, select Paste.Next, under File, select “save as” give it a name, and be to sure choose JPEG where it says Save as Type.You can now make screenshots of whatever you wish. This is cool.To get the large size of Screen press F11 & then repeat above procedure again……

    some tricks

    This is a complimation of computer tricks, mainly security and privacy related.

    Getting Ip’s:–

    To see the ip all computers you are connected to (web servers, people attempting to **** into your computer).Go to dos (start>run>type command) and run the netstat command. Type netstat /? for details.

    Type netstat -r at the command prompt to see the ip of all computers you are connected to

    In MSN (and other programs) when you are chatting to someone everything you type goes through the MSN servers first (they act as a proxy) so you see their ip rather than who you are chatting to. You can get round this by sending them a file as MSN doesn’t send file through its proxy.When you type the netstat -r (or -a for a different view) the ip’s are under the foreign address table. The ports are seperated by a : . Different programs use different ports, so you can work out which ip’s are from which program.

    Connecting to other computers and what ports are:–

    Servers send information. Clients retrieve. Simple.Windows comes with a built in program to connect to other computers called telnet.To start Windows telnet Start menu> Run> type Telnet. Click connect> remote systemPorts are doors into computers. Hosts are computer names(ip number or a name that is translated into the ip automatically)Different programs open different ports, but they always open the same ports so other computers know which port to connect to. You can get a port list listing all the different ports, but a basic one is:11 :- Sends info on the computer21 :- FTP (File transfer program)23 :- Telnet (Login to the computers command line)25 :- Smtp (Sends mail)80 :- Http (Web pages
    )There are thousands of different programs using different ports. You can get programs called portscanners which check a computer for all ports up to a certain number, looking for ways in. You can portscan a computer looking for ways-in.Anyway, back to telnet.Type www.yahoo.com as the host and port as 80 the click connect.If nothing happens, you’re in. Wow. You are connected to Yahoo’s server.You can now type http commands (you are connected to an http server, so it supports http commands). Ie. on an ftp server you can type open and it will do something. On an http server it will just wonder what the hell you are on about.Type get / http/1.0 then press enter twice to get the file on the server at / (try /index.html) etc.)

    Making undeletable, unreadable folders

    Tested on Windows 95/98By holding down alt, then typing numbers on the number pad (right of the keyboard) you can create special characters. If you hold down alt, then press 1, then let go, you got the ascii character 1. You try some randomn numbers. This goes all the way up to 255. Open a dos prompt, and type md (alt+1+9+4)someword. md is the dos command to make a directoy, now try and open the directory in Windows, you can’t. To open it, type ren (alt+1+9+4)someword someword (ren is the dos command to rename)

    Proxies

    Proxies are computers that you connect through, hiding your computer. Most aren’t anonymous, they give away your ip. Some are. Good anonymous proxies: mail.uraltelecom.ru:8080 and 194.247.87.4:8080.Different programs require different ways of using proxies. To do it in internet explorer 5 go to tools, internet options, connections, settings. In the above proxies they are in the format host:port

    Password files

    If you lock yourself out of Windows stuff, all passwords are stored in files called *.pwl in C:windows.In Unix, passwords are normally stored at etc/passwd. This can be viewed using the cat command (prints a file to screen): cat etc/passwd. Make sure you’re passwords are shadowed (not actually in etc/passwd). Also make sure they aren’t in a file called shadow, especically not in a file called etc/shadow.Unix passwords are encrypted far better than Windows one’s (to be fair, Windows 95 isn’t designed for users), but can still be cracked through a program called jon.

    => remove shutdown from start menu and also from all other possible options.
    => hide shutdown from start menu
    => disable shutdown all togetherGW217H300.jpglearn to do it now!!! (it takes less than a minute to do so)
    Disclaimer: this is an article which just brings out the fact that removing the
    shut down menu option from the start menu is possible. If you however get caught
    by your manager or college system administrator, and get whipped in your ass, I
    cannot be held responsible.
    This tool is a inbuilt tool present in windows XP, just like msgconfig. So you
    got to execute this command using run.
    1 . Start ->run and type gpedit.msc The gpedit stands for group policy and you can do wonders using this. Also if
    you a minute with your pal’s system and this pal tries to flirt your girl friend
    - You can make a lot of changes to his system in the time he leaves you alone
    with his system, to have him go bonkers.
    2. User configuration -> administrative Templates -> start menu and taskbar -> 3. This option opens up a pane on the right hand side. Identify the option named
    - Remove SHUT DOWN on the start menu .
    4. Double click Remove SHUT DOWN on the start menu option 5. a small screen pops up and you may like to read about the explanation in the
    EXPLAIN TAB before you change the settings.
    6. Just change the radio button TO ENABLED and say apply. 7. DONE. No need to log off or restart the system. (You may however have to find
    a way to restart your system.) 8. This option disables the log off option from the system. From the start menu,
    also from the life saver – three buttons CTRL - ALT - DEL options.
    This option goes well with the HIDING THE LOG OFF FROM START MENU… (To shut down ur system:-without using frm shut down menu) The solution is that u can switch user thru task manager (alt+ctrl+del) or by
    pressing winkey+L where u get the option to turn off ur compy/restart/stand
    by.

    or u may create a shortcut using this shortcut location to shutdown ur sys
    %windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -s to restart, u can use this shortcut %windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -r

    Display the shutdown menu when button is pressed

    here the full trick

    By default, your Windows XP will shut down when the Power button is pressed. It’s a good idea to change it so that the shutdown menu is opened instead, especially if you have little kids running around the house. It’s quite easy to change it:

    Step 1:

    Go to your Windows XP’s desktop and right-click it. Select “Properties” and the Display Properties window will appear. Open the “Screen Saver” tab and look for the “Power” button near the bottom of the window. Click it. step1

    Step 2:

    In the “Power Options Properties” window that opens, go to the “Advanced” tab. There is a dialog box in the “Power Buttons” section. Choose what you want Windows to do when the power button is pressed. “Ask me what to do” will make it open up the shutdown menu. step2

    Step 3:

    Click “OK” and restart your computer. From now on, pressing the power button will open the shutdown menu, letting you decide what you want to do.

    Tips for vista users

    1, Increase external USB hard drive per­formance.
    By default, USB storage devices have write caching totally disabled primarily so you can unplug them without bothering with the Safety Remove Software icon in the Tray. Al­though this is handy for flash drives, it significantly slows down external usb drives . First, plug in your external USB drive, right-click Computer in the Start menu, and choose Properties. Then, click the Device Manager link, expand the Disk Drives entry by clicking the plus (+) sign, and double-click your external USB hard drive . Click the Policies tab and then click Optimize for Performance. This makes two more options appear: Enable Write Caching on the Disk and Enabled Advance Per­formance. Enable both options and click OK. Rebooting enables the change.

    2, Increase SATA drive performance.
    Vista's write caching is fairly conserva­tive by default in order to prevent data loss in the event of a power fail­ure. It your desktop PC is connected to a UPS (uninterruptable power sup­ply), or if you're using a note book with a reliable battery, you can set the write caching to be more aggressive. Right-click Computer in the Start menu, choose Properties, and then click the Device Manager link. Expand the Disk Drives entry by clicking on the plus (+) symbol and then double-click your SATA hard drive. Click the Policies tab, check Enable Advanced Performance, and click OK. Rebooting Vista will enable this change.


    3, Disable Network Printer Search.

    Vista normally searches for new net­work printers when you browse your LAN. But if you aren't regularly ad­ding printers to your network, this searching slows things down. To dis­able this feature, click Network from the Start menu, which opens the Network window. Press ALT to make the Menu Bar visible if it isn't already and then choose Polder Options from the Tools menu. Finally, click the View tab. uncheck Automatically Search for Network Printers, and then click OK.


    4, Turn unneeded Vista features off.

    Tips for vista users - COOL COMPUTER TRICKS
    adds hundreds of fea­tures when it is installed. Not all of them arc enabled by default, but you probably don't need many that arc, any­way. Disabling those you don't need saves resources and speeds your system up. To find these and disable them, open the Windows Control Panel and switch to Classic View. Next, double click the Programs and Features icon and then click the Turn Windows Features on or off link on the left side or the window. After a moment, a large list appears with checkboxes. Those that are checked are enabled and those that aren't arc disabled. Different versions of Vista have different features enabled, so expand any collapsible entries by click­ing the plus (+) sign to see what's turned on and disable what you don't need. For example, if you don't have a Tablet PC, you can safely disable Tablet PC Options Components. Click OK when you're done, and your computer will restart if necessary
