[QUOTE="chathupatiya, post: 11838983, member: 48903"] [FONT="Book Antiqua"][COLOR="Blue"][SIZE="5"][B]Useful Tips.. [/B][/SIZE] [SIZE="4"][B]1-Increasing System Performance[/B] If you have 512 megs or more of memory, you can increase system performance by having the core system kept in memory. 1. Start Regedit 2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager\Memory Management\DisablePagingExecutive 3. Set the value to be 1 4. Reboot the computer [B]2-Removing the MSN Messenger[/B] If you want to remove the MSN Messenger from always starting in the system tray, do 1. Start / Run 2. Then enter in the following string: RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove To remove it completely, see the section Adding / Removing Additional Programs Remove the hide from the line: msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7 [B]3-Common Command Console Utilities[/B] WindowsXP comes with quite a few console utilities you can easily run from the command line: Computer Management - compmgmt.msc Disk Managment - diskmgmt.msc Device Manager - devmgmt.msc Disk Defrag - dfrg.msc Event Viewer - eventvwr.msc Shared Folders - fsmgmt.msc Group Policies - gpedit.msc Local Users and Groups - lusrmgr.msc Performance Monitor - perfmon.msc Resultant Set of Policies - rsop.msc Local Security Settings - secpol.msc Services - services.msc Component Services - comexp.msc [B]4- Hide/Unhide Logon Names[/B] If you want to hide or unhide the names of users that are displayed on the initial logon screen: 1. Start Regedit 2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon \ SpecialAccounts \ UserList 3. Add a DWORD with the name of the user account you want to hide 4. Make sure it has a value of 0 5. If there is an existing account, you can unhide it by giving it a value of 1 [B]5 - Renaming the Start Button[/B] To rename the start button, you will need a hex editor. My preference is UltraEdit 1. Copy the \windows\explore.exe file to a new name (e.g. explorer_1.exe) 2. With the hex editor, open that file and go to offset 412b6 3. You will see the word start with blanks between each letter 4. Edit it be any 5 characters or less 5. Save the file 6. Boot to DOS 7. Copy the existing c:\windows\explorer.exe to explorer.org 8. Copy explorer_1.exe to explorer.exe 9. You will also need to replace the explorer.exe in the c:\windows\system32\dllcache file as well with the new one. Note: If the partition is NTFS and you can't access the files from DOS: 1. Start Regedit 2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon. 3. Change the value of Shell from Explorer.exe to explorer_1.exe [/SIZE][/COLOR][SIZE="4"][/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
