windows xp secret

XP hides some system software you might want to
remove, such as Windows Messenger, but you can tickle it and make it
disgorge everything. Using Notepad or Edit, edit the text file
/windows/inf/ sysoc.inf, search for the word 'hide' and remove it. You
can then go to the Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel, select
Add/Remove Windows Components and there will be your prey, exposed and
vulnerable.

Creating Shutdown Icon or One Click Shutdown:



Navigate
to your desktop. On the desktop, right-click and go to New, then to
Shortcut (in other words, create a new shortcut). You should now see a
pop-up window instructing you to enter a command line path.
Use this path in "Type Location of the Item"
SHUTDOWN -S -t 01
If
the C: drive is not your local hard drive, then replace "C" with the
correct letter of the hard drive. Click the "Next" button. Name the
shortcut and click the "Finish" button. Now whenever you want to shut
down, just click on this shortcut and you're done.


Increasing Band-Width By 20%:

Microsoft reserves 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes like Windows Updates and interrogating your PC etc

To get it back:

Click Start then Run and type " gpedit.msc" without quotes.This opens the group policy editor. Then go to:
Local
Computer Policy then Computer Configuration then Administrative
Templates then Network then QOS Packet Scheduler and then to Limit
Reservable Bandwidth.
Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth.
It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the 'Explain'
tab I.e."By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20
percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting
to override the default."
So the trick is to ENABLE reservable
bandwidth, then set it to ZERO. This will allow the system to reserve
nothing, rather than the default 20%.It works on Win 2000 as well.

Renaming The Recycle Bin icon:

To
change the name of the Recycle Bin desktop icon, click Start then goto
Run, write Regedit and press Enter. It opens Registry Editor. Now in
Registry Editor go to:

And change the name "Recycle Bin" to whatever you want (don't type any quotes).

Managing Tasks:
You
can at last get rid of tasks on the computer from the command line by
using 'taskkill /pid' and the task number, or just 'tskill' and the
process number. Find that out by typing 'tasklist', which will also
tell you a lot about what's going on in your system.
