speed up your hard disk
speed up your hard disk
to speed up your hard disk speed we need to configure a special buffer in the
computer's memory in order to enable it to better deal with interrupts made from
the disk.
this tip is only recommended if you have 256mb ram or higher.
follow these steps:

run sysedit.exe from the run command.

expand the system.ini file window.

scroll down almost to the end of the file till you find a line called [386enh].

press enter to make one blank line, and in that line type

irq14=4096

note: this line is case sensitive!!!

click on the file menu, then choose save.

close sysedit and reboot your computer.

done. speed improvement will be noticed after the computer reboots.

update: the most speed improvement is visible with ide drives, however there are
reports that this tweak also does good for scsi disks. in any case, it won't harm
your system, so why not try it yourself and let me know what you find

try to create a folder in windows with either of these names--

"con" or "nul" or "aux" or "lpt1".
windows will not let u create ....

reason: all this correspond to some of the famous ports

>con corresponds to the console

>lpt1 corresponds to printer and so on....

1. open regedit
2. go to hkey_classes_root\*\shell
3. add a new key named "openwith" by right clicking the "shell" key and selecting
new
4. set the (default) to "op&en with..."

disabling my computer
in areas where you are trying to restrict what users can do on the computer, it
might be beneficial to disable the ability to click on my computer and have access
to the drives, control panel etc.
to disable this:
1.open regedit
2.search for 20d04fe0-3aea-1069-a2d8-08002b30309d
3.this should bring you to the hkey_classes_root\clsid section
4.delete the entire section.
now when you click on my computer, nothing will happen.
you might want to export this section to a registry file before deleting it just
in case you want to enable it again. or you can rename it to
20d0hidemycomputer4fe0-3aea-1069-a2d8-08002b30309d. you can also hide all the
desktop icons, see change/add restrictions.

changing window icon is same as changing window icon

the value name nosavesettings to 0, if set to1 windows will not save settings. and
nodeleteprinter set to 1 will prevent the user from deleting a printer.

policies\ explorer so change it there also if you are using different profiles.

1.open regedit
2.go to
hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\ currentversion\ policies
3.go to the explorer key (additional keys that can be created under policies are
