Identify Invisible Person In Gmail
Lots of people misuse invisible feature inorder to even avoid individuals. I wrote an article about yahoo invisible hack some time back which created lots of response among my readers. This time I am going to explain about gmail invisible bug that can be exploited from “off the record feature“. Below are the steps involved, but there are some limitation.
Step 1.
Set the target user as off the record while he/she is online. This can be done by simply clicking on the option in the chat window.
Step 2.
Try sending an IM when he/she is invisible or offline.
If he/she is invisible he/she will receive message. If he/she is offline you will receive anerror “did not receive your chat”.
This hack will only work if you mark the target user as off record when he/she is online. It is a limitation.
How does it work?
When the chat is off the record, it will no longer stored in the gmail account.
When you send IM to an invisible / offline user it will be delivered by default. At the receiving end the IM will receive as a pop in form of chat window if the user is invisible. If the user is offline it will receive as an email in the inbox

Phone Tricks
FREE INTERNET ON PC VIA TATA CDMA PHONES
One of the cheapest handset or mobile instrument they provide is Haier C2010
which retails at Rs. 700/- without any connection charge.
Its back port is very similar to USB (male) Mini-B Type.
Officially the mobile DO NOT have any data services.
Plug in the device in PC / Notebook USB using a USB (male) Mini-B. Windows
will give a new devices found dialog box.
It will take a while for Windows to search for a driver in internet but eventually
after 3-4 mins or so, it will find a matching driver for the device and install
“BenQ USB Modem 3197?.
I know from my previous experience with TATA, that their CDMA DATA enabled handsets dial #777 via the CDMA modem to get connected to the internet.
Therefore, I created a new dial up connection via network connection setup of Windows XP and selected the available device “BenQ USB Modem 3197? as the modem
I disconnected my ADSL connection, and used user ID Internet / password Internet
to dial this new TATA connection via the BenQ USB modem 3197 and to my
surprise, it did authenticate and got connected !!!!
I tried DAP to test download speeds and its around about
3 or 3.5 kilo bytes / second meaning around 30 kbps of connection speed.
But Its FREE...

Tweak the system to run at its best...
1.Prevention is Better than Cure.So Instead of curing the sluggish old system, do a fresh install. Install it in C: drive itself.
2.After the install ,Install the XP SP3 or Vista SP1. (It gives all the latset update.)
##DONOT CONNECT TO THE INTERNET BEFORE INSTALLING THE ANTIVIRUS##
3.Next thing to do is to uninstall all the unwanted components in Xp/Vista like Windows messenger,MSN explorer and ie. That's Right Uninstall Internet Explorer.It is a very buggy browser and gets attacked by lots of spywares.(To do it go to Control Panel >Add or remove programs>Add/Remove windows Components, and untick them and click next)
4.Right click My Computer select Properties,goto Advanced>Performance>Settings>Visual effects.Select Adjust for best performance.Then check the boxes: Use Visual style on windows & buttons,Use drop shadow for desktop icons,Show window contents while dragging.
5.Install an AntiVirus (Norton AntiVirus 2009-Is very effective and light) & Spybot Search & Distroy.Remember to Update and Scan regularly.
6.Install Firefox (You can download the ie theme for it if you cant live with out the ie look & feel).Get the add ons like Addblock Plus, Flash Block,etc..
7. Install other softwares like Video players,Photoshop,Office,etc. [Remember instead of selecting every thing in a suite, select only those you use-Install only Word,Excel & Powerpoint if you use only them]
8.Instead of installing lots of video player install an all in one, like a GOM player and download the codecs
9.Install Perfect Disk 8.0 and Defragment (Smart Placement).[Donot use windows defragmenter] Remember to do this once in every 2 weeks. Donot use it very frequently it could damage the drive.
10.Avoid visiting potentially risky site like crack spider,seriall,etc..
11. If you want cracks go to the pirate bay.Before downloading read the comments to know about the true contents.[Also scan all files that are downloaded]
12.If you have the cofidents that your can solve any problems that arises,Turn off system restore on all drives[It will use the cpu in background].
13.Also Turn off Windows Automatic updates.[Don't get me wrong here,The automatic update feature will share your internet bandwidth while you are downloading something or browsing,and make it slow.]So turn it off and swith it on when you are not doing any thing on the web.

Miscellanious tweaks
SHUT DOWN XP FASTER
1) Start - Run - Regedit
Navigate to the following Registry key:
HKEY CURRENT USER\Control Panel\Desktop
Double click on the AutoEndTasks entry and replace the 0 with a 1 in the Value data text box
For the next two, if the dword value indicated does not exist, create it:
Double click on the WaitToKillAppTimeout entry in the right pane and change the Value data to 2000
Double click on the HungAppTimeout entry in the right pane and change the Value data to 1000
Reboot
If still having a problem, make the next change:
2) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
Right-click on WaitToKillServiceTimeout and change it to 2000
NOTE: The lowest value Windows will recognize is 1000 (1 second)
ADVISORY: While rare, the "WaitToKillService" tweak can cause problems. If an application is in the process of saving data and the associated service is stopped prematurely, the data will not be saved and may be lost.

TURN OFF INDEXING TO SPEEDUP XP
Windows XP keeps a record of all files on the hard disk so when you do a search on the hard drive it is faster. There is a downside to this and because the computer has to index all files, it will slow down normal file commands like open, close, etc. If you do not do a whole lot of searches on your hard drive then I suggest turning this feature off:
1. Control Panel
2. Administrative Tools
3. Services
4. Disable Indexing Services

TWEAK AERO BY DISABLING MIN/MAX ANIMATIONS
The new animations in Windows Vista look great for the first month or so but then they can become an annoyance since they feel like they increase the amount of time it takes to minimize and maximize a window. If you can live without the minimize and maximize animations that you can bring back the super fast feeling of your windows instantly disappearing and appearing by disabling the min/max animations.
Follow the steps below to make your windows faster:
1. Click on the Start Menu and key in SystemPropertiesPerformance and hit Enter.
2. On the Visual Effects tab uncheck Animate windows when minimizing and maximizing.
3. Click OK.
Other Steps:
1. Click on the desktop and select Personalize.
2. Select Windows Color and Appearance.
3. Uncheck Enable Transparency.

TWEAK INDEXING OPTIONS FOR PERFORMANCE BOOST
The indexing service in Windows Vista is responsible for making those search boxes all over the operating system lightening fast. By default Windows automatically indexes all files in your user profile folders, start menu and any files you have setup for offline access. If you have a lot of files in these locations and the files change often you can be putting a heavy load on the indexing service. For maximum performance when using Windows Vista I recommend disabling indexing for all other locations other than the Start Menu. This will lessen the background work that Windows Vista has to do. It will also slow down your searches of other locations but that is the price you must pay for this performance benefit.
Follow these steps to tweak the indexing locations:
Click on the Start Button and key in Indexing Options and hit Enter. Indexing Options will now load.
Vista tweak
* Hit the Modify button.
* Next, click on Show all locations.
* Scroll through the tree-view and uncheck any folders you do not want to be indexed. When you are finished, click OK.
* If you want to change advanced indexing settings such as what file types are indexed click on the Advanced button. Otherwise hit Close.

Speed up wireless WAN connection
In Windows Vista the networking components were designed to be much more intelligent and automatically adjust the network settings to optimize the connection speed. This is a great new feature. Your network components basically tweak themselves for optimal performance. In most situations, these components automatically adjust perfectly for best performance. However, with wireless WAN cards the detection of network conditions is flawed and can result in slower network performance.
To fix this problem, Microsoft has released a hotfix for users affected by this issue. If you have a Wireless WAN device, I suggest you give this hotfix a try.
KB 940646 details:
This problem occurs because of the way that TCP receive window auto tuning is used in Windows Vista for connections that only receive data.
This tweak will be automaticallly installed it you install Vista SP1.
Windows Vista obtains a round-trip time (RTT) estimate at the time of connection setup and every time that a new segment of data that is transmitted. A connection that only receives data is limited to the single RTT sample that is obtained at the time of connection setup. Because the connection only receives data, the connection cannot "converge" to the actual RTT of the connection. For example, because the RTT data may fluctuate for various reasons, a "converge" operation is performed to estimate a meaningful RTT by using blending current and previous RTT data. However, if the connection cannot converge to the actual RTT of the connection, the bandwidth delay product (BDP) estimate that Vista obtains is also incorrect. Therefore, the connection's receive window is limited, and throughput of the connected transmission network is reduced.

Hacking......
1) CALLBACK UNITS:
Callback units are a good security device, But with most phone systems,
it is quite possible for the hacker to use the following steps to get
around a callback unit that uses the same phone line for both incomming
and out going calls:First, he calls he callback unit and enters any
authorized ID code (this is not hard to get,as you'll see in a moment).
After he enters this ID, the hacker holds the phone line open - he does
not hang up. When the callback unit picks up the phone to call the user back,
the hacker is there, waiting to meet it.
The ID code as I said, is simple for a hacker to obtain, because these
codes are not meant to be security precautions.The callback unit itself
provides security by keeping incomming calls from reaching the computer.
The ID codes are no more private than most telephone numbers. Some callback
units refer to the codes as "location identification numbers," and some
locations are used by several different people,so their IDs are fairly
well known.I've been told that, in some cases,callback ubits also have
certain simple codes that are always defined by default. Once the hacker
has entered an ID code and the callback unit has picked up the phone to
re-call him,the hacker may or may not decide to provide a dial tone to
allow the unit to "think" it is calling the correct number. In any event,
the hacker will then turn on his computer, connect with the system - and
away he goes.If the however, the hacker has trouble holding the line with
method,he has an option: the intercept.
The Intercept:
Holding the line will only work with callback units that use the same
phone lines to call in and to call out.Some callback units use different
incoming and outgoing lines, numbers 555-3820 through 555-3830 are dedicated
to users' incoming calls, and lines 555-2020 through 555-2030 are dedicated
to the computers outgoing calls.The only thing a hacker needs in order to
get through to these systems is a computer and a little time - he doesn't
even need an ID code. First,the hacker calls any one of the outgoing phone
lines, which, of course, will not answer.Sooner or later, though, while the
hacker has his computer waiting there, listening to the ring, an authorized
user will call one of the incomming lines and request to be called back.
It will usually be less than an hours wait, but the hacker's computer
is perfectly capable of waiting for days, if need be.
The callback unit will take the code of the authorized user, hang up,
verify the code, and pick up the phone line to call back.If the unit
tries to call out on the line the hacker has dialed, the hacker has his
computer play a tone that sounds just like a dial tone.The computer will
then dial the number given that matches up with the user's authorized ID.
After that,the hacker can just connect his computer as he would in any
other case.If he is really serious,he will even decode the touch tones
that the mainframe dialed,figure out the phone number of the user the
system was calling, call the person, and make a few strange noises that
sound as though the computer called back but didnt work for some reason.
2) TRAPDOORS AS A POSSIBLILITY
I haven't heard of this happening, but i think it is possible that a
callback modem could have a trapdoor built into it.Callback modems are
run by software, which is written by programmers.An unscrupulous programmer
could find it very easy to slip in an unpublicized routine, such as,
"if code =*43*, then show all valid codes and phone numbers." And such a
routine, of course, would leave security wide open to anyone who found the
trapdoor.The obvious protection here, assuming the situation ever arises,
is simply an ethical manufactorer that checks its software thoroughly before
releasing it.
A trapdoor is a set of special instructions embedded in the large
program that is the operating system of a computer.A permanent,
hopefully secret "doorway", these special instructions enabe anyone who
knows about them to bypass normal security procedures and to gain access to
the computer's files.Although they may sound sinister, trapdoors were not
invented by hackers, although existing ones are certainly used by hackers
who find out about them.
3) THE DECOY
One of the more sophisticated hacking tools is known as the decoy, and it
comes in three versions.The first version requires that the hacker have an
account on the system in question. As in my case,the hacker has a
low-security account,and he tries this method to get higher-security
account.He will first use his low-security account to write a program that
will emulate the log-on procedures of the systems in questions.
This program will do the following:
*- Clear the terminal screen and place text on it that makes everything
look as if the system is in charge.
*- Prompt for, and allow the user to enter, both an account name and a password.
*- Save that information in a place the hacker can access.
*- Tell the use the account/password entries are not acceptable.
*- turn control of the terminal back over to the system.
The user will now assume that the account name or password was mistyped
and will try again...this time (scince the real operating system is in
control) with more success.You can see a diagram of the way these steps are
accomplished

4) CALL FORWARDING
Many people use call forwarding by special arrangement with the phone
company.When a customer requests call forwarding, the phone company uses
its computer to forward all the customers incomeing calls to another
number. Lets say, for example, that you want calls that come to your office
phone to be forwarded to your home phone: A call from you to the phone
company,some special settings in the phone companys computer, and all
calls to your office will ring at your home instead.This little bit of help
from the phone company is another tool used by hackers. Lets say you thought
that the computer you were hacking into was being watched-because the
sysop might have seen you and called the fed's and your sort of bugged by
this nagging feeling that they will trace the next hacker that calls,
just call the phone company and ask for call forwarding, pick a number,
(ANY NUMBER) out of the phone book and have your calls forwarded to that
number,Hea,Hea, the number you picked is the one that will be traced to,
not yours, so you could be hacking away,they think that they have traced you,
but actually the number you had your calls forwarded too. they enter chat mode
and say (YOUR BUSTED!!!!, WE'VE TRACED YOUR PHONE NUMER THE FEDS ARE ON THE
WAY!!), You could reply (Hea, SURE YA DID! I'D LIKE TO SEE YA TRY AND GET ME!
GO AHEAD!) ,that wont seem very important to them at the time, but it will
sure piss them off when they bust the wrong guy!
5) RAPID FIRE
Memory-location manipulation can be helpful, but there is another, more
powerful,possibility, in some cases: the Rapid-fire method.To understand how
this methos works, you have to know something about the way operationg
systems work.When a user enters a command, the operating system first places
the command in a holding area, a buffer, where it will sit for a few
millionths of a second.The system looks at the command and say's "Does this
person really have authorization to do this, or not?" Then, the command
sits there a few thousandths of a second while the system runs off to
check the user's authorization.When the system comes back to the command,
it will have one of two possible answers: "OK, GO AHEAD," or "SORRY,
GET PERMISSION FIRST."
Once you are on a system that handles things this way, you can

Temporary Admin Rights...
Temporary Administration Rights
By now anyone who's been using Windows XP should have heard that using their computer for regular activities on an account with administrator privileges is a security risk. If you haven't heard that before, well, you have now.
Unfortunately most people don't take advantage of the advice to run in a limited account, but instead continue to use their admin account for daily tasks such as surfing the web, emailing, or any general daily usage tasks — which is not a good practice. While it is true that it's not always easy to use a limited account we end-users should probably consider the fact that running with administrator privileges means that the applications we're using are given complete access to the operating system. Using a limited account will assist in preventing the installation of unwanted applications — such as spyware, adware, browser helper objects, viruses, etc (see Malware Cleaners and Repair). As well, using a limited account will prevent certain actions from making system wide changes like adding items to the registry.
For the most part you can get by with a limited user account. In theory, all users should only have the absolute minimal rights needed in order to ensure safety while achieving functionality. With that being said, honestly, few people manage to get even games working while using limited user accounts. Many other things require such privileges — not to mention that in order to update your PC you need admin rights. To perform at any level of manageability one will require at least occasional use of an account with administration rights.
For those times that you do need to access something that requires administrator privileges, and you do not want to go to the trouble of switching accounts, the following method should work fine for you:
1. Locate the application that you need to have admin rights to use
2. Right-click on the application or the shortcut to the application
3. Select "Run as..." from that menu
4. Select "The following user:"
5. Enter in the proper credentials
6. Click OK
This setting is not permanent — nor will it remember your password, which may make an extra step, but far more secure.

Windows tricks
Password Protect Guest Account
Password protect the Guest Account:
1. Click Start
2. Click Run...
3. Type cmd and click OK
4. In the command prompt window type "net user guest password" without the quotes
5. Press Enter - it will tell you when it is done
6. Close that window
7. Click Start
8. Click Run...
9. Type control userpasswords and click OK

enable and disable of usb port
1)Open the Windows Registry and open the following key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\ Control\StorageDevicePolicies
Now add a new DWORD called WriteProtect and put the value as 0 to disable write privileges to the USB port. To reverse the step, either delete the WriteProtect REG_DWORD or toggle the value to 1 which will enable the port.
Remember that the above trick works only with Windows XP SP2.
If you like to go a step further and disable users from connecting USB storage devices to their computers, here's the trick:
Open registry and navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet \Services\UsbStor
Now in the right pane, double-click Start and type 4 in the Value data box (Hexadecimal) and quite the registry editor. To enable the USB storage devices, change the Start value back to 3.
No matter how good the protection tricks are, determined people always find workarounds. Here are some of the tricks that may render the above methods unusable:
» Employee may boot computer using a LiveCD like Knoppix or Ubuntu so the USB drives are again available to him for writing.
» They could open the computer chasis, take the battery out to reset the BIOS settings.
» Some may even invest in a PS2 to USB port converter.
» If he manages to get admin access for a temporary period (like installing software), he may undo the registry edits
2)on the desktop, right click on MY COMPUTER, and then select MANAGE option. a new window will appear, in that select SYSTEM TOOLS, in that click on DEVICE MANAGER, on the right side of the window pane, a list wil appear,

2.start>>settings>>controlpannel>>system>>hardware>>devise manager>>look for the usb port in the list and select it then you can see an option disable or enable accordingly on the tool bar
3. 1. If a USB storage device is already installed on the computer, set the Start value in the following registry key to 4:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentContr...
2. When you do so, the USB storage device does not work when the user connects the device to the computer. To set the Start value, follow these steps:
3. Click Start, and then click Run.
4. In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK.
5. Locate, and then click the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentContr...
6. In the right pane, double-click Start.
7. In the Value data box, type 4, click Hexadecimal (if it is not already selected), and then click OK.
8. Quit Registry Editor.
This disables the usb drive to enable the value must be 3.
also u may have to restart the system.
3)1.Go to run and type devmgmt.msc in that click universal serialbus controllers,right click on the sub menus and disable it....
2. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK.

Then in the right pane, select the user name whose account you want to hack. RIGHT
CLICK and then click on SET PASSWORD from the pop-up menu.

Recover Windows Password
Slightly more work needed if you lose or forget the Windows XP administrator password.
3)Open the Windows Registry and open the following key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\ Control\StorageDevicePolicies
Now add a new DWORD called WriteProtect and put the value as 0 to disable write privileges to the USB port. To reverse the step, either delete the WriteProtect REG_DWORD or toggle the value to 1 which will enable the port.
Remember that the above trick works only with Windows XP SP2.
If you like to go a step further and disable users from connecting USB storage devices to their computers, here's the trick:

4.Just click the administrators user account, and then click Reset Password.
5.You will need to add a new password in the New password and the Confirm new password boxes, and confirm by clicking OK.
Star Wars Movie in Windows XP
Hey folks, do u know that windows XP is having a hidden "Star Wars Movie" inside it???
You should be connected to the NET for using this.
Go to Starts-->Programs-->Run
Type
telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl
And hit enter......... Enjoy the magic!!!!
Increase your cable modem or DSL speed in XP
This tweak is for broad band cable connections on stand alone machines with winXP professional version - might work on Home version also. It will probably work with networked machines as well but I haven't tried it in that configuration. This is for windows XP only, it does not work on win2000.
I use 3 Com cards so I don't know how it works on others at this point. It does not involve editing the registry. This tweak assumes that you have let winXP create a connection on install for your cable modem/NIC combination and that your connection has tcp/ip - QoS - file and print sharing - and client for microsoft networks , only, installed. It also assumes that winxp will detect your NIC and has in-box drivers for it. If it doesn't do not try this.
In the "My Network Places" properties (right click on the desktop icon and choose properties), highlight the connection then at the menu bar choose "Advanced" then "Advanced Settings". Uncheck the two boxes in the lower half for the bindings for File and Printer sharing and Client for MS networks. Click OK
1. From the windows XP cd in the support directory from the support cab, extract the file netcap.exe and place it in a directory on your hard drive or even in the root of your C:\ drive.
2. next, open up a command prompt window and change directories to where you put netcap.exe. then type "netcap/?". It will list some commands that are available for netcap and a netmon driver will be installed. At the bottom you will see your adapters. You should see two of them if using a 3Com card. One will be for LAN and the other will be for WAN something or other.
3. Next type "netcap/Remove". This will remove the netmon driver.
4. Open up control panel / system / dev man and look at your network adapters. You should now see two of them and one will have a yellow ! on it. Right click on the one without the yellow ! and choose uninstall. YES! you are uninstalling your network adapter, continue with the uninstall. Do not restart yet.
5. Check your connection properties to make sure that no connection exists. If you get a wizard just cancel out of it.
6. Now re-start the machine.
7. After re-start go to your connection properties again and you should have a new connection called "Local area connection 2". highlight the connection then at the menu bar choose "Advanced" then "Advanced Settings". Uncheck the two boxes in the lower half for the bindings for File and Printer sharing and Client for MS networks. Click OK.
8. Choose connection properties and uncheck the "QOS" box
9. Re-start the machine
10. after restart enjoy the increased responsivness of IE, faster page loading, and a connection speed boost.
Why it works, it seems that windows XP, in its zeal to make sure every base is covered installs two seperate versions of the NIC card. One you do not normally see in any properties. Remember the "netcap/?" command above showing two different adapters? The LAN one is the one you see. The invisible one loads everything down and its like your running two separate cards together, sharing a connection among two cards, this method breaks this "bond" and allows the NIC to run un-hindered.
Folder Secrets
The "Com" folder is for programming too. You can't name a folder CON, AUX, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, PRN, NUL, and a few others. They're simply port locations and Windows would get confused.
A lot of people want to know how to remove the MSN Messenger service from XP... here's how:
Locate SYSOC.INF in the \Windows\INF folder (hidden file and folder), Open it in Notepad and locate the line: msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7
Remove the word "hide" from the line and save the file. You will now have an entry in add/remove programs. Do what you will :)
OR (XP Pro Only) leave it installed, but tell Windows to never let it run. If you're running XP Professional, you can use GPEDIT.MSC to prevent Messenger from loading. Otherwise, even disabling it in startup won't cause it to "always" not run. NOTE: Outlook, Outlook Express and some Microsoft web pages can still make it load.
• Start, Run and enter GPEDIT.MSC
• Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Messenger
• You can now modify whether it starts initially and/or whether it's to run at all. UPDATE: I have recieved some email that say this fix slows down outlook when starting, that is because outlook wants to start messenger when it starts, the easiest and fastest way to disable messenger and still have a quickj starttime with outlook is to rename the exe file, located here c:\program files\messenger\msmsgs.exe, to something other than msmsgs.exe, such as msmsgsnew.exe.
Customize the Start menu
The Start menu gets more real estate in XP than in previous versions, and it's more customizable. To make the Start menu display only the applications you want, rather than the default determined by Microsoft, right-click in an empty section of the Start menu's left column, and select Properties > Start Menu > Customize. Here you'll find a list of your most frequently used programs. (XP keeps track of what you use and what you don't, then updates this list dynamically.) Don't want your boss to know that Pinball, Solitaire, and Quake all make your list? Go to the General tab, click Clear List, and set the counter to zero.
Disable error reporting
• Open Control Panel
• Click on Performance and Maintenance.
• Click on System.
• Then click on the Advanced tab
• Click on the error-reporting button on the bottom of the windows.
• Select Disable error reporting.
• Click OK
• Click OK
Remove shortcut arrow from desktop icons
Here's how you can remove those shortcut arrows from your desktop icons in Windows XP.
1. Start regedit.
2. Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTlnkfile
3. Delete the IsShortcut registry value.
You may need to restart Windows XP.
Turn of CD Auto Play
• Open My Computer
• Right click on your CD ROM and choose Properties
• Click on the Auto Play tab
• In the drop down box you can choose the Action for each choice shown in the drop down box
Or
1. Go to Start->Run->gpedit.msc
2. Computer Config -> Administrative Template -> System
3. Double click Turn off Autoplay
4. Enable it.
Increase BROADBAND
This is for broad band connections. I didn’t try it on dial up but might work for dial up.
1. make sure your logged on as actually "Administrator". do not log on with any account that just has administrator privileges.
2. start - run - type gpedit.msc
3. expand the "local computer policy" branch
4. expand the "administrative templates" branch
5. expand the "network branch"
6. Highlight the "QoS Packet Scheduler" in left window
7. in right window double click the "limit reservable bandwidth" setting
8. on setting tab check the "enabled" item
9. where it says "Bandwidth limit %" change it to read 0
Effect is immediate on some systems, some need to re-boot. This is more of a "counter what XP does" thing. In other words, programs can request up to 20% of the bandwidth be reserved for them, even with QoS disabled, this is no big deal and most programs do not request it. So, although QOS has caused a big stink because people think it reserves 20% of their bandwidth, you can still disable it, just to be sure, hehe.
Do Not Highlight Newly Installed Programs
Tired of that annoying little window that pops up to tell you that new software is installed? If it gets in the way when you’re logging off, turn it off completely.
• To do this Click Start, right-click at the top of the Start menu where your name is displayed, and then click Properties.
• In the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties dialog box, on the Start Menu tab, click Customize.
• Click the Advanced tab, and then clear the Highlight newly installed programs check box.
• Click OK, and then click OK again.
Now that message won’t be popping up when you least want to see it.
Convert FAT or FAT32 to NTFS
You can increase the performance of your computer using NTFS (New Technology File System) hard drive volume with windows XP, because this advance file system provides some extra features, for example security, reliability, file encryption and Compression features.
But if you are still using old file systems like FAT or FAT32, you can covert it into NTFS with a simple command. The interesting thing is that you can convert your hard drive volumes file system without losing data on the drive.
Follow the giving steps to convert FAT or FAT32 partition to NTFS:
First go to Start button then click on Run option.
Now type here “CMD” and press Ok to open command prompt.
At the command prompt type convert drive letter name: /fs:ntfs
For example if you want to convert drive E to NTFS then the command will be “convert e: /fs:ntfs”.
Now restart your computer and enjoy NTFS features, but keep in mind you cannot covert back it to FAT or FAT32 again.

enable and disable of usb port
1)Open the Windows Registry and open the following key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\ Control\StorageDevicePolicies
Now add a new DWORD called WriteProtect and put the value as 0 to disable write privileges to the USB port. To reverse the step, either delete the WriteProtect REG_DWORD or toggle the value to 1 which will enable the port.
Remember that the above trick works only with Windows XP SP2.
If you like to go a step further and disable users from connecting USB storage devices to their computers, here's the trick:
Open registry and navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet \Services\UsbStor
Now in the right pane, double-click Start and type 4 in the Value data box (Hexadecimal) and quite the registry editor. To enable the USB storage devices, change the Start value back to 3.
No matter how good the protection tricks are, determined people always find workarounds. Here are some of the tricks that may render the above methods unusable:
» Employee may boot computer using a LiveCD like Knoppix or Ubuntu so the USB drives are again available to him for writing.
» They could open the computer chasis, take the battery out to reset the BIOS settings.
» Some may even invest in a PS2 to USB port converter.
» If he manages to get admin access for a temporary period (like installing software), he may undo the registry edits
2)on the desktop, right click on MY COMPUTER, and then select MANAGE option. a new window will appear, in that select SYSTEM TOOLS, in that click on DEVICE MANAGER, on the right side of the window pane, a list wil appear,

Slightly more work needed if you lose or forget the Windows XP administrator password.
3)Open the Windows Registry and open the following key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\ Control\StorageDevicePolicies
Now add a new DWORD called WriteProtect and put the value as 0 to disable write privileges to the USB port. To reverse the step, either delete the WriteProtect REG_DWORD or toggle the value to 1 which will enable the port.
Remember that the above trick works only with Windows XP SP2.

5.You will need to add a new password in the New password and the Confirm new password boxes, and confirm by clicking OK.

Increase your cable modem or DSL speed in XP
This tweak is for broad band cable connections on stand alone machines with winXP professional version - might work on Home version also. It will probably work with networked machines as well but I haven't tried it in that configuration. This is for windows XP only, it does not work on win2000.
I use 3 Com cards so I don't know how it works on others at this point. It does not involve editing the registry. This tweak assumes that you have let winXP create a connection on install for your cable modem/NIC combination and that your connection has tcp/ip - QoS - file and print sharing - and client for microsoft networks , only, installed. It also assumes that winxp will detect your NIC and has in-box drivers for it. If it doesn't do not try this.
In the "My Network Places" properties (right click on the desktop icon and choose properties), highlight the connection then at the menu bar choose "Advanced" then "Advanced Settings". Uncheck the two boxes in the lower half for the bindings for File and Printer sharing and Client for MS networks. Click OK
1. From the windows XP cd in the support directory from the support cab, extract the file netcap.exe and place it in a directory on your hard drive or even in the root of your C:\ drive.
2. next, open up a command prompt window and change directories to where you put netcap.exe. then type "netcap/?". It will list some commands that are available for netcap and a netmon driver will be installed. At the bottom you will see your adapters. You should see two of them if using a 3Com card. One will be for LAN and the other will be for WAN something or other.
3. Next type "netcap/Remove". This will remove the netmon driver.
4. Open up control panel / system / dev man and look at your network adapters. You should now see two of them and one will have a yellow ! on it. Right click on the one without the yellow ! and choose uninstall. YES! you are uninstalling your network adapter, continue with the uninstall. Do not restart yet.
5. Check your connection properties to make sure that no connection exists. If you get a wizard just cancel out of it.
6. Now re-start the machine.
7. After re-start go to your connection properties again and you should have a new connection called "Local area connection 2". highlight the connection then at the menu bar choose "Advanced" then "Advanced Settings". Uncheck the two boxes in the lower half for the bindings for File and Printer sharing and Client for MS networks. Click OK.
8. Choose connection properties and uncheck the "QOS" box
9. Re-start the machine
10. after restart enjoy the increased responsivness of IE, faster page loading, and a connection speed boost.
Why it works, it seems that windows XP, in its zeal to make sure every base is covered installs two seperate versions of the NIC card. One you do not normally see in any properties. Remember the "netcap/?" command above showing two different adapters? The LAN one is the one you see. The invisible one loads everything down and its like your running two separate cards together, sharing a connection among two cards, this method breaks this "bond" and allows the NIC to run un-hindered.
Folder Secrets
The "Com" folder is for programming too. You can't name a folder CON, AUX, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, PRN, NUL, and a few others. They're simply port locations and Windows would get confused.
Want to remove MSN Messenger?
A lot of people want to know how to remove the MSN Messenger service from XP... here's how:
Locate SYSOC.INF in the \Windows\INF folder (hidden file and folder), Open it in Notepad and locate the line: msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7
Remove the word "hide" from the line and save the file. You will now have an entry in add/remove programs. Do what you will :)
OR (XP Pro Only) leave it installed, but tell Windows to never let it run. If you're running XP Professional, you can use GPEDIT.MSC to prevent Messenger from loading. Otherwise, even disabling it in startup won't cause it to "always" not run. NOTE: Outlook, Outlook Express and some Microsoft web pages can still make it load.
• Start, Run and enter GPEDIT.MSC
• Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Messenger
• You can now modify whether it starts initially and/or whether it's to run at all. UPDATE: I have recieved some email that say this fix slows down outlook when starting, that is because outlook wants to start messenger when it starts, the easiest and fastest way to disable messenger and still have a quickj starttime with outlook is to rename the exe file, located here c:\program files\messenger\msmsgs.exe, to something other than msmsgs.exe, such as msmsgsnew.exe.
Customize the Start menu
The Start menu gets more real estate in XP than in previous versions, and it's more customizable. To make the Start menu display only the applications you want, rather than the default determined by Microsoft, right-click in an empty section of the Start menu's left column, and select Properties > Start Menu > Customize. Here you'll find a list of your most frequently used programs. (XP keeps track of what you use and what you don't, then updates this list dynamically.) Don't want your boss to know that Pinball, Solitaire, and Quake all make your list? Go to the General tab, click Clear List, and set the counter to zero.
