You can force your taskbar to group windows. Any application that has any number you decide of windows open will automatically cluster, regardless of how full your taskbar is. To set this: Start regedit, expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER and in Software – Microsoft – Windows – CurrentVersion – Explorer - Advanced, and create a REG_DWORD with the name TaskbarGroupSize and the value you want to reach before the windows are clustered together on the taskbar. (This modification requires a logoff to work).

Add a new Key to the "Shell" Key and name it anything you like. 4. Give it a default value that will appear when you right click a folder, i.e. NewKey (use an "&" without the quotes, in front of any character and it will allow you to use the keyboard) 5. Click on the Key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\NewKey 6. Add a New Key named Command 7. Set the (Default) value of the application you want to run 8.

1.Minimize Hack The first hack that I have here is the popular Firefox Minimize Hack that has recently flashed through the internet. The purpose of this hack tries to keep Firefox from eating up your physical RAM and instead puts the burden on your hard drive, or at least that is the general reason behind it. To implement this hack, perform the following steps. 1. With Firefox up and running, type about:config and hit enter. 2. Right click on the new page and select New -> Boolean. 3. In the pop-up window, type in “config.trim_on_minimize” without quotes and hit enter. 4. In the next pop-up window, select True and hit enter. 5. Restart your browser Result:With that done, open up a bunch of tabs and monitor the memory usage. In my first run without this hack, Firefox was using 137.8 Mb of Ram. With all 30 tabs open again, Firefox was using 118.4 Mb, but when minimized this dropped to an astounding 4 Mb. However, this was too good to be true, I left Firefox minimized and came back 12 ...

If you use your computer in an area where others may have access to it, and there are things on your system you would rather have kept confidential, locking your desktop when you leave the computer is an essential task. Here's a recipe for a desktop shortcut that will lock your computer in two easy clicks: Right click on an empty area of the desktop and choose 'new' then 'shortcut.' The create shortcut wizard will open; in the first text box, type '%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation' and then give your shortcut an appropriate name on the next page, and hit 'finish.'

Microsoft is planning to ship its next major version of Windows—known internally as version “7”—within roughly three years, CNET News.com has learned. The company discussed Windows 7 on Thursday at a conference for its field sales force in Orlando, Fla., according to sources close to the company. While the company provided few details, Windows 7, the next client version of the operating system, will be among the steps taken by Microsoft to establish a more predictable release schedule, according to sources. The company plans a more “iterative” process of information disclosure to business customers and partners, sources said. Windows Vista , the oft-delayed most recent release of Windows, shipped to businesses in November and to consumers in January after more than five years of development. Vista’s gestation period was marked by shifting product details as internal priorities changed and problems arose with development. Like Vista, Windows 7 will ship in consumer and business v...

Interviewer said, “I shall either ask you ten easy questions or one really difficult question. Think well before you make up your mind!” Interviewer said, ” I shall either ask you ten easy questions or one really difficult question. Think well before you make up your mind!” The candidate thought for a while and said, ” My choice is one really difficult question.” ” Well, good luck to you, you have made your own choice!” said the interviewer. Here is your question: ” What comes first, Day or Night?” The boy was jolted into reality as his admission depended on the correctness of the answer to that one question. He thought for a while and said, ” It’s DAY sir!” ” How?” the interviewer asked. ” Sorry sir, you promised me that you will not ask me a SECOND difficult question!” Moral : Technical Skill is the mastery of complexity, while Creativity is the mastery of simplicity

These are few steps to make your firefox run at lightining speed. 1. First in the URL bar, Type “about:config”. This will bring up a list of commands and variables you can edit. 2. The second step is to put “network.http.pipelining” in the filter and change the value to “true”. 3. After that you will want to put “network.http.proxy.pipelining” in the filter. Like the last one, make that value set to “true” also. 4. Next, locate “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” and change the value to some number higher, say 10,20 or even 30, it would make up to 10,20 or 30 requests at once. 5. The last step is to right click anywhere and select “New” then “Integer”. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and make its value “0″. This will make the browser respond faster on the information of the websites it receives. 6. Close out FireFox (make sure FireFox is closed by viewing the Task Manager) and restart it and enjoy the new mega speed

This next group of hacks all relate to the network.http group in about:config. Basically these various options open up your network connection to Firefox, permitting it to access information online as quickly as your connection will permit you. Since the majority of readers utilize broadband connections, this will benefit you, but people using dial up modems (56k) this is not going to benefit you much, sorry. To implement these hacks, perform the following steps. 1. With Firefox up and running, type about:config and hit enter. 2a. Find the entry called “network.http.pipelining” and set it to “true”. 2b. Find the entry called “network.http.proxy.pipelining” and set it to “true”. 2c. Find the entry called “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” and set it to 16-32, but beware, if set too high you may risk banning yourself from various servers by being mistaken for a DoS attack. 3.

We don’t usually prefer to lock our drives, but sometimes it becomes nesscary. Say for instance you might have stored your office documents in D:\ and you don’t want your kids to access it, in such case this technique can be useful for you. Please don’t try this tweak with your root drive (usually C:\ is the root drive) since root drives are not intended to be locked because they are mandatory for the system and application programs. Start & Run and type Regedit to open Registry editor Browse HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer Create a new DWORD value NoViewOnDrive and set its value as 2^ (Alpha Number of Drive Letter-1) where Alpha number are simple counting of alphabets from A to Z as 1 - 26 For example: to lock C:\, Alpha number of C is 3 so 2^ (3-1) = 4 (decimal value) To lock more drives, calculate the value of each drive and then set sum of those numbers as value To unlock your drive just delete the key from the registry

Yes thats right. You can lock any folder without using any software. Follow these steps. 1.Suppose you have a folder named abcd in D:\abcd. 2.In the same drive next to the folder create a new notepad file with the exact statement ren abcd abcd.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} 3.Now save this text file as loc.bat 4.Create another notepad file and type ren abcd.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} abcd 5.Save this as key.bat 6.Now there are two batch files .

It's shockingly easy to create your own icons in Windows XP. Let's do it: Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, and then click Paint. On the Image menu, click Attributes. Type 32 for both the Width and Height of the document, and make sure that Pixels is selected under Units. Click OK to create a new 32x32-pixel document: the size of an icon. Now add type, color, or do whatever you'd like to your image. I like to shrink photos (headshots work best) to 32x32 and simply paste them into my Paint document. When you're finished, open the File menu and click Save As. Use the dialog box to choose where you want to save your file, then give it a name followed by ".ico" (without the quotes), and click Save. (The extension ".ico" tells Windows that it's an icon file.) You just created an icon! Now you can change any shortcut or folder to your own icon—just browse to it on your hard drive.

Microsoft Windows XP uses many visual effects to provide a rich, friendly interface. One of these settings allows menus to fade into view when you open them. This visual effect is so smooth that you may never have noticed it; however, the effect does cause menus to take a little longer to appear. On a fast computer, this shouldn't be an issue. But on a computer that isn’t responding as quickly as you'd like, you can make menus display faster. To speed up menu display 1. Click Start. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties. 2. Click the Advanced tab. In the Performance area, click Settings. 3. On the Visual Effects tab in the Performance Options dialog box, clear the Fade or slide menus into view check box. 4. Click OK. 5. In the System Properties dialog box, click OK. Now when you click a menu, it will appear almost instantly.

The Start menu is great for finding programs, but its multiple levels of folders can be time consuming to navigate.

Right-click the program that you want to start with a keyboard shortcut, and then click Properties. 2. Click in the Shortcut key box.

When you want to start the program, hold down both the CTRL and ALT keys simultaneously, while ...

I’ve read a number of articles on the internet about changing the text on the Start button in XP. On more than one occasion I’ve seen references to a five (5) letter limitation when the button is renamed. I always wondered if this was true or just an assumption someone made because the default ‘start’ just happened to fit the button size. So, I decided to run a test and see if there really was a five character limit. Step 1 – Modify Explorer.exe File In order to make the changes, the file explorer.exe located at C:\Windows needs to be edited. Since explorer.exe is a binary file it requires a special editor. For purposes of this article I have used Resource Hacker. Resource Hacker TM is a freeware utility to view, modify, rename, add, delete and extract resources in 32bit Windows executables and resource files (*.res). It incorporates an internal resource script compiler and decompiler and works on Win95, Win98, WinME, WinNT, Win2000 and WinXP operating systems. The first step is ...

Stop Error Messages Stop 0x0000000A or IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL - The Stop 0xA message indicates that a kernel-mode process or driver attempted to access a memory location to which it did not have permission, or at a kernel interrupt request level (IRQL) that was too high. A kernel-mode process can access only other processes that have an IRQL lower than, or equal to, its own. This Stop message is typically due to faulty or incompatible hardware or software. Stop 0x0000001E or KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED - The Stop 0x1E message indicates that the Windows XP Professional kernel detected an illegal or unknown processor instruction. The problems that cause Stop 0x1E messages share similarities with those that generate Stop 0xA errors in that they can be due to invalid memory and access violations. This default Windows XP Professional error handler typically intercepts these problems if error-handling routines are not present in the code itself. Stop 0x00000024 or NTFS_F...

One option included in Windows XP is the ability to uninstall XP if you performed an upgrade from Windows 98, 98SE, or Windows Me.
