Delete Annoying Multiple Entries in Boot Screen

iusemymindrarely@gmail.com (Perfect) — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 03:58:17 PDT

How To Delete Annoying Multiple Entries in Boot Screen?

Suppose you have multiple copies of Windows XP installed in your PC in different drives or installed Windows XP on top of another operating system like Windows 98 or Windows 2000. Now, though you may have removed some or all of the older versions, still the boot screen continues to show the old operating system entries. Isn't it annoying and confusing to remember and select every time the only right option? Don't worry, here is how you can get rid of the problem forever:

1. Load windows and login if required

2. Go to Start menu, click on Run and then type cmd. This open up the command window.

3. Type this command:

bootcfg /delete /id x

where x is the number of the option you want to delete. Say, for example, you want to delete 2nd boot option then you will type bootcfg /delete /id 2 and so on.

4. Now reboot the machine to check that you have only the correct option(s) available.

Note:

* Please be careful in step 3 and don't delete the correct operating system because that will prevent you from booting.

* Repeat step 3 to delete all unnecessary operating system menus.

Hide the Text Below Desktop Icons

iusemymindrarely@gmail.com (Perfect) — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 03:45:02 PDT

Hide the Text Below Desktop Icons

Some icons you use so regularly that you don’t need that annoying text below the icon. A good example of this is Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. We all know what those icons look like. To remove that text, just follow these instructions.

Right-click on the shortcut icon, and choose Rename. Now hold down the Alt key and type in 255 on the keypad to the right of the keyboard. You can’t use the number keys right above the keyboard. If you have a laptop, you can turn on Numlock and then use the little number keys next to the regular letters.

The way this works is that the Alt+255 character is blank, so the shortcut filename is actually just named with a character that is completely blank. For the first shortcut on the desktop, you would use Alt+255, but for the next shortcut, you’ll have to enter the combination twice (Alt+255, Alt+255). For the third, three times… and so on. This is because you can’t name two different shortcuts or files the same thing. Entering Alt+225 twice would give you two blanks instead of one.

Now we have a beautiful icon, with no text underneath it!

Editing The Right Click Menu In Windows XP

When you install some softwares, they add their own options to the right click menu.

This can slow down the system as it needs to get all the files ready when you right click.

Especially, the compression tools like WinRar & WinZip add their options to the right click menu. A lot of options in the right click menu makes it look untidy too.

If you don't need some of the options, then you can customize the menu.

One way is through Registry editing. Here is the Registry Setting.

1. Go to Run and type in Regedit.

2. Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

This is the where programs attach to right click menu,This is a universal right click.

To make the specific right clicks, you need to go to specific type of file in this section.

3. You simply delete the keys you do not want.If you don't want to edit the registry,

you can use a editing software with which things can be done with much ease and in a

detailed manner.There is also a software named File Menu Tools through which you

can edit your right click menu. Through this software you can add more options provided

by the software, and you can remove the contents you want.The only thing is that you

should know which files to look for and editing which file will make the correct changes.

Try out this software & customize your right click menu according to your own needs.

Cannot Access Regedit

iusemymindrarely@gmail.com (Perfect) — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 03:24:45 PDT

Cannot Access Regedit, How to Fix It?

Many times when working on a computer that has been infected with a virus, trojan, or piece of spyware I find myself with my most important command, Regedit, the Windows Registry Editor being disabled. Virus creators like to disable the Registry Editor so it makes solving the problem and removing the issue difficult.Sometimes administrators in IT departments may place restrictions on using the regedit command to keep employees from changes things on company computers, but viruses and other issues may also try to disable it.

Listed below you will find the different ways to enable regedit, the Registry Editor.

First we’ll begin with the method that appears to work the best.

Method 1: Use Symantec’s tool to reset

Sometimes worms and trojans will make changes to the shell\open\command registry entries as part of their infections. This will cause the virus to run each time you try to run an .exe file such as the Registry Editor. In these cases, visit Symantec’s website and download the UnHookExec.inf file to your desktop. Right-click on it and choose Install. Restart your computer and then try to open the Registry Editor.

Method 2: Rename Regedit.com to Regedit.exe

Some viruses and other malware will load a regedit.com file that is many times a zero byte dummy file. Because .com files have preference over .exe files when executed if you type REGEDIT in the run line, it will run the regedit.com instead of the real regedit.exe file.

Delete the regedit.com file if its a zero byte file to restore access to REGEDIT. In some cases, such as the W32.Navidad worm, you’ll need to rename the REGEDIT file to get it to work.

Method 3: Windows XP Professional and Group Policy

If you have Windows XP Professional and access to an administrative user account, you could change the registry editor options in the Group Policy Editor.

Click Start, Run

Type GPEDIT.MSC and Press Enter

Go to the following location

User Configuration->Administrative Templates->System

In the Settings Window, find the option for “Prevent Access to Registry Editing Tools” and double-click on it to change.

Select Disabled or Not Configured and choose OK.

Close the Group Policy Editor and restart your computer.

Try opening REGEDIT again.

Rapidshare Tricks

iusemymindrarely@gmail.com (Perfect) — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 04:24:13 PDT

Rapidshare Tricks :

Rapidshare traces the users IP address to limit each user to a certain amount of downloading per day.To get around this, you need to show the rapidshare server a different IP address.

Here are some methods for doing this-

Step [A] Short-Out the JavaScript:

1) Goto the page you want to download

2) Select FREE button

3) In the address bar put this- javascript:alert(c=0)

4) Click OK

5) Click OK to the pop-up box

6) Enter the captcha

7) Download Your File

Step [B] Request a new IP address from your ISP server:

Here’s how to do it in windows:

1) Click Start

2) Click run

3) In the run box type cmd.exe and click OK

4) When the command prompt opens type the following. ENTER after each new line.

ipconfig /flushdns

ipconfig /release

ipconfig /renew

exit

5) Erase your cookies in whatever browser you are using.

6) Try the rapidshare download again.

Frequently you will be assigned a new IP address when this happens.

Sometime you will, sometimes you will not. If you are on a fixed IP address, this method will not work.

Note:If this works for you, you may want to save the above commands into a batch file, and just run it when you need it.

Step [C] Use a proxy with SwitchProxy and Firefox:

1) Download and install Firefox

2) Download and install SwitchProxy

3) Google for free proxies

4) When you hit your download limit, clean your cookies and change your proxy

Step [D] You can use a bookmarklet to stop your wait times:

1) Open IE

2) Right Click On This Link

3) Select Add to Favorites

4) Select Yes to the warning that the bookmark may be unsafe.

5) Name it “RapidShare No Wait”

6) Click on the Links folder (if you want to display it in your IE toolbar)

7) Click OK

8) You may need to close and reopen IE to see it

9) Goto rapidshare and click the bookmarklet when you are forced to wait
