    How to install programs and games in a limited account meaning an account thats not an administrator


    This might not always work but it's pretty useful because your able to install programs although your administrator has bloked it.
    Steps
    1. When your installing the program here is what you have to do.
    2. When it gives you the option of choosing the directory or destination where the program will be intall, before clicking next click browse to choose a different destination.
    3. The destination your going to choose is
    C:\Documents and Settings\"your username"\"name of program being installed"\
    4. So just browse to
    The C:\ drive
    Then Documents and Settings
    Then your User Name
    5. The reason why you do this is because since your intalling it in your account name the computer doesn't stop or check anything because its your account and your name, but if you just select the desktop and choose to install it there it going to say something like "you do not have enough administrative privileges" something like that.

    Hide your files in jpeg format

    Well, did you know you could hide your files in a JPEG file? For this, you will only need to download WinRAR. You just need to have a little knowledge about Command Prompt and have WinRAR installed.
    1. Gather all the files that you wish to hide in a folder anywhere in your PC (make it in C:\hidden - RECOMMENDED).
    2. Now, add those files in a RAR archive (e.g. secret.rar). This file should also be in the same directory (C:\hidden).
    3. Now, look for a simple JPEG picture file (e.g. logo.jpg). Copy/Paste that file also in C:\hidden.
    4. Now, open Command Prompt (Go to Run and type ‘cmd‘). Make your working directory C:\hidden.
    5. Now type: “COPY /b logo.jpg + secret.rar output.jpg” (without quotes) - Now, logo.jpg is the picture you want to show, secret.rar is the file to be hidden, and output.jpg is the file which contains both.
    icon10.gif

    6. Now, after you have done this, you will see a file output.jpg in C:\hidden. Open it (double-click) and it will show the picture you wanted to show. Now try opening the same file with WinRAR, it will show the hidden archive .

    Make your start menu run faster
    1. Go to to 'run' Type regedit.
    2. Browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER > CONTROL PANEL > DESKTOP
    3. There is an key called 'MenuShowDelay'
    4. Double click on it and change 400 to 0
    5. Click 'ok' and restart your computer to see changes to take effect

    Set Wallpapers in Drives
    All you have to do is just create a "Notepad" file and copy paste this in your Drive
    [{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}] iconarea_image=C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Pictures\Sample Pictures\sunset.jpg iconarea_text=0x00FFFFFF
    Save it as desktop.ini

    Automatically close non-responsive programs

    With a small registry tweak, Windows XP can be set to automatically close any program that 'stops responding' (crashes), eliminating the need for you to use the task manager to close down the offending software manually.
    To do this:
    Open REGEDIT and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\ Desktop
    Modify the REG_SZ entry AutoEndTasks with a value of 1

    Remove shut down option

    Wanna play with your friends by removing the shutdown option from start menu in their computer.
    Click on start>run(win key+r)
    Then tpye “regedit” there, this opens up the registry editor, now goto
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>Microsoft>Windows>CurrentVersion>Explorer
    Then set “NoClose”=”DWORD:1

    If u want to cancel the scheduled shutdown or restart
    go to Start -> Run -> shutdown -a
    This will stop the scheduled shutdown or restart process.
