Hidden Drives

Want to hide drives with sensitive material on them from prying eyes? You can prevent any or all disk drives from being displayed in My Computer and Explorer.
It takes some Registry tweaks, which can be tricky. Check instructions at help and support option in your system
For this go to help and support --> type Registry editor and press enter that will displays the matter for further assistance click related topics at the end... This will be more than enough to understand Registry editing....
In the Registry navigate to HKEY__USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer. Right-click on Explorer and choose New and DWORD value. In the pane on the right, rename the new value NoDrives and double-click on it to open the Edit DWORD Value box. Click the Decimal option to select it, instead of the Hexadecimal option.
Now for the complicated part. To hide a drive or drives, a number that corresponds to the drive(s) must be entered. Enter the value listed below for the drive. If multiple drives are to be hidden, add the numbers for those drives together. For example, hiding drives D and E requires a value of 24, because you are adding the value for D (8) to the value for E (16), which equals 24.
A: 1
N: 8192
B: 2
O: 16384
C: 4
P: 32768
D: 8
Q: 65536
E: 16
R: 131072
F: 32
S: 262144
G: 64
T: 524288
H: 128
U: 1048576
I: 256
V: 2097152
J: 512
W: 4194304
K: 1024
X: 8388608
L: 2048
Y: 16777216
M: 4096
Z: 33554432
All: 67108863
The boot disk, usually the C drive, tends to show up in Explorer even if you hide it in My Computer. To bring back hidden disks, just change the value of NoDrives to 0 or delete the value altogether.

Make your PC shutdown at a time u wish.

METHOD1
1. Right click on your desktop and choose "New=>shortcuts".
2. In the box that says "Type the location of the shortcut",
type in "shutdown -s -t 3600" without the quotation marks and click next. Note: 3600 are the amount of seconds before your computer shuts down. So , 60secs*60mins=3600secs.
3. Make up a name for the shortcut and you're done.
You can change the icon by right clicking=>properities=>change icon=>browse
TO ABORT:
To make an abort key to stop the shutdown timer just create another shortcut and make
the "location of the shortcut" to " shutdown -a" without the quotes.
METHOD2
Here is another trick to shutdown at a specific time, for example you wish to shutdown at 11:35am. Type this in
start=>Run
Type Code: at 11:35 shutdown -s
TO ABORT:
Code:shutdown -a

Make Programs Run Faster

I USE FIREFOX FOR THIS



Right click on the program shortcut u want to run faster and select properties from the menu

in the target field add /prefetch:1 to the very end

So originally, the Target Field shows:

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"

You are going to make it show

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" /prefetch:1

make sure there is a space between the" and the /

hit apply and ok or just ok and ur program shuld run faster

Prevent Users From Writing to USB!!!

If you have windows XP with SP2, then you can disable the writing option to USB drives. This trick is very useful if you have virus in your computer and want to copy files from a USB Drive but don’t want to transfer virus to the USB. Follow the given steps to disable the USB writing option:
To edit the computer registry, first you should log onto your computer with administrative rights.
First click on Start button and type “Regedit” in Run option.
Here locate the location to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
Here in right side panel, click right to create a key with the name “StorageDevicePolicies”.
Now in left side panel, select “StorageDevicePolicies” key, again right click to create new DWORD value then label it “WriteProtect”. Set its value to “1″. But again to enable writing, set its values to “0″.
Now close the registry editor and restart your computer after any changes to go into effect.

Restore Previously Open Folders After Shutdown

If you need to access lot of folders on your home computer or on the network regularly, then you can set them re-open automatically, when you will login, shutdown or restart your computer next time. There is no need to open regularly used folders manually, just configure the simple sitting, your computer will automatically reload all the previously opened windows.
By default windows XP disables this option to reload automatically all the previously opened windows, when you login on, shutdown or restart your computer.
Follow the given steps to configure your computer to reload previously opened folders automatically after shutdown.
* To edit this feature, you will need to be logged into your computer with administrative rights.
* First click on Start button then go to Control Panel.
* Open the “Appearance and Themes” option in control panel then click on Folder Options.
* A small windows dialog box will appear with the title “Folder options”, click on View tab.
* Under the Advanced setting section, scroll down to bottom and click the “Restore previous folder windows at logon” option and then click Ok button to save sitting.

SPEED UP UR ACROBAT READER (ALMOST LIKE NOTEPAD)

SPEED UP UR ACROBAT READER (ALMOST LIKE NOTEPAD)
1. Go to the installation folder of acrobat reader
(C:\program files\adobe\acrobat\reader\.. whatever)
2. Move all the files and folders from the "plugins" directory to the "Optional" directory. (I repeat.. cut and paste the files NOT copy & paste).
Also make sure that acrobat reader is not open else it will lock the files and not allow you to move the files).
Now your acrobat reader will load very fast and almost as good as notepad

SPEED UP YOUR TORRENTS..

SPEED UP YOUR TORRENTS..

First go to Options>Preferences>Network

1. Under ‘Port used for incomming connections‘ enter any port number. It is best to use a port number above 10000. I use 45682.

2. Randomize port each time µtorrent starts: UNCHECKED
I leave this unchecked because I have a router. If you do not have a router or a firewall, and want extra security,check this option.

3. Enable UPnP port mapping (Windows Xp or later only): UNCHECKED
I leave this unchecked because I have experienced it slowing down speeds. It is not needed if you manually port forward.

4. Add µtorrent to Windows Firewall exceptions (Windows XP SP2 or later only): UNCHECKED (do this only if you have windows firewall disabled)

5. Global Maximum upload rate (kb/s): [0: unlimited]: 22 (for 256k connection)

6. Protocol Encryption: ENABLED
I would recommend everyone to enable this. This can help increase speeds with many ISPs.

7. Allow incoming Legacy Connections: CHECKED

Options>Preferences>Torrents

1. Global Maximum Number of Connections: 130 (for 256k connection)
This number should not be set too low or the number of connections made to your torrents will be limited. Setting it too high may cause too much bandwidth to be used and can cause slowdowns.

2. Maximum Number of connected peers per torrent: 70 (for 256k connection)
If you see that the peers connected to a specific torrent are exactly this number, or very close, increase this number to improve speeds.

3. Number of upload slots per torrent: 3 (for 256k connection)
This depends on how much you want to upload to other users. Do not set too low or it may affect download speeds.

4. Use additional upload slots if upload speed <90%: CHECKED

5. Maximum number of active torrents: 2 (for 256k connection)

6. Maximum number of active downloads: 1 (for 256k connection)

Use Notepad As A Virtual Dairy


This is real cool tip for people who use notepad to write down any info on a day to day basis...

In Notepad

* Open a notepad and type '.LOG' (CASE SENSITIVE) as the first line of the file.
* Save and close the file .
* Double-click the file to open it and notice that Notepad appends the current date and time to the end of the file and places the cursor on the next line.
* Type your notes and then save and close the file.

Each time you open the file, Notepad repeats the process, appending the time and date to the end of the file and placing the cursor below it.
It simply serves as a virtual diary !

Test Your Anti-Virus

You can test your antivirus program for its effectiveness using a simple notepad trick. Follow the steps given below:

>Open Notepad.

>Copy the code given below in the notepad file:


X5O!P%@AP[4PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*

>Save it with an .exe extension like testvirus.exe


As soon as you save this file, your anti virus program will detect the file (virus) immediately and will attempt to delete it. If this happens then your Antivirus is working properly. If not, then its time to look for some other reliable program.

Increase Hard Disk speed in Windows 100% SAFE NO SOFTWARE REQUIRED

If you like to increase/optimize your Hard Disk I/O - read/write speed without buying expensive software utilities to do that job or changing the HD, just follow next steps. With doing these steps you will increase Hard disk speed (depends of manufacture and specification, but its worth to try). The most speed improvement is visible with IDE drives;

In any case, it won't harm your system, so try it yourself and let me know what you find!

Steps:

1. Run SYSEDIT.EXE from the start & then Run command.
2. Expand the system.ini file window.
3. Scroll down almost to the end of the file untill you find a line called [386enh].
4. Press Enter to make one blank line, and in that line type
5. Irq14=4096 (note: This line IS CASE SENSITIVE)
6. Click on the File menu, then choose Save.
7. Close SYSEDIT and reboot your computer.
8. Restart windows!

The speed improvement will be noticed just after the system reboots, any system info. software can be used to check the improvement.

Frustrate your friend by making this VBScript hit Backspace simultaneously:

wshshell.sendkeys “{bs}”
loop


Save it as “Anything.VBS” and send it.ti

Hack your friend's keyboard and make him type "You are a fool" simultaneously:

Paste green coloured code in your notepad
Code:

Set wshShell = wscript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
do
wscript.sleep 100

n then run the batch file


Note :use it at ur own risk
