How to Create an invisible account in Windows XP,

Go to the registry key:
HKLM\Software\ Microsoft\ W indowsNT\CurrentVer sion\W inlogon\SpecialAcco unts\U serList
Create a new DWORD, setting its name to the name of the account you wish to hide. Then set its value to 0 to hide it. However, this account isn't completely hidden because it is visible to administrators in Local User and Groups and also the profile is visible in the Documents and Settings. When you are at the welcome screen, and you want to login to this account, then press Ctrl+Alt+Delete twice and it will display the log-on promt style similar to Windows 2000, then type the username, and the password and hit enter.

Mega Upload Downloading Unlimiting Secret

If your using Firefox, there is an addon that allows you to bypass the Megaupload bit where it says country slots are full, or you have downloaded too much so soon.

It's called Megaupload SX.3.2, With this addon, you can download more than two or three links at the same time from Megaupload.

This add-on works with Mozilla 1.5 to 2.x.x

Link are Showing Down

https://addons. mozilla.org/ es-ES/firefox/ addon/3843

Your Second Idea

1. Get Firefox. ( http://www.mozilla. com/en-US/ firefox/ )

2. Type in the address bar - about:config

3. Type in the filter box - general.useragent. extra.firefox

4. Double click on it.

5. Type this in the box that appeared - Firefox/2.0 MEGAUPLOAD 1.0

6. ok.that's it.

It works great. finally dont get the "slots are full" thing anymore, but warning... turn this off when u visit other sites, or they look mess with firefox.

18. XP will treat Zip files like folders

which is nice if you've got a fast machine. On slower machines, you can make XP leave zip files well alone by typing 'regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll' at the command line. If you change your mind later, you can put things back as they were by typing 'regsvr32 zipfldr.dll'.

Step 3:

Make up a name for the shortcut and you're done.
You can change the icon by right clicking=>properties=>change icon=>browse.

To abort:

To make an abort key to stop the shutdown timer just create another shortcut and make
The "location of the shortcut" to " shutdown -a" without the quotes.




METHOD # 2

23. MAKING THE INTERNET EXPLORER & THE EXPLORER TOOLBARS FANCY

The Internet Explorer toolbar looks pretty simple. Want to make it fancy and kewl? Why not add a background image to it. To do this kewl h@*k launch the Windows Registry Editor and go to the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ Internet Explorer\Toolbar\.

Now in the right pane create a new String Value and name it BackBitmap and modify it's value to the path of the Bitmap you want to dress it up with by rightclicking on it and choosing Modify. When you reboot the Internet Explorer and the Windows Explorer toolbars will have a new look.

Change Internet Explorer's Caption

Don't like the caption of Internet Explorer caption? Want to change it? Open the registry editor and go to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main.

In the right pane create a new String Value names Window Title (Note the space between Window and Title). Right click on this newly created String Value and select Modify. Type in the new caption you want to be displayed. Restart for the settings to take place.

22. CUSTOMIZING THE RIGHT CLICK CONTEXT MENU OF THE START MENU

When you right click on the start menu, only 3 options pop up: Open, Explore, and Find.
You can add your own programs to this pop up menu( which comes up when we right click on it.) Open Regedit and go to the following registry key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Shell

Right click on the shell and create a new Sub Key (You can create a new SubKey by right clicking on the Shell Key and selecting New > Key.). Type in the name of the application you want to add to the start menu. I want to add Notepad to the Start Menu and hence I name this new sub key, Notepad. Now right click on the new registry key that you just created and create yet another new key named Command. Enter the ful| path of the application, in this case Notepad in the default value of Command in the right pane. So I Modify the value of the default string value and enter the full pathname of Notepad:

c:\wndows\notepad.exe.

Now press F5 to refresh. Now if you right click on the Start Button you will find a new addition to the Pop Up Menu called Notepad. Clicking on it will launch Notepad.

We can not only add but also remove the existing options in this pop up box.

21. THE WINDOWS XP SYSTEM PROPERTIES LOGO IS OFTEN CHANGED BY COMPUTER MANUFACTURERS. HARDWARE VENDORS

In this tip you can learn how you can insert your own logo in the system properties dialog and complete it with your own contact information.

To invoke the system properties dialog, click the Start button, right-click "My Computer" and select "Properties".

This will open up your general system information dialog. On our Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Pro laptop, the Windows XP System Properties logo looks like this:

If you want to put your own graphic in there, you should create your image in a .bmp graphic file. It’s also a good idea to create this bitmap image with the same background shade of gray (RGB: 192, 192, 192) used in the Properties dialog. Otherwise, you risk letting Windows make its own judgments regarding color contrast and background shading.

The next thing to consider is the image size. The system properties dialog only offers enough real estate for an image of about 180 (wide) x120 (high) pixels. Make sure that you can fit your logo in this area.

Once you have created your logo and saved it as a .bmp file, copy it over to the system32 subfolder of your Windows system folder. If you don’t know where your system folder is :

- Click the Start button and select "Run"

- In the "open" field, enter "cmd" (without the quotes) and click ok

- Windows will open up a dos command window

- In the command window, type "set system" (without the quotes)

- Look for the line that contains "SystemRoot", this is where your system directory is (generally, the Windows XP system folder is c:\windows)

Now that you know where your system folder is, copy your logo image file over to the system32 subfolder of your system folder. Then rename your logo image file to oemlogo.bmp

Additionally you can create a new file in this same folder and name the new file oeminfo.ini

In this file you can enter your contact information like in the example below:

[General]

Manufacturer=Your Company Name

Model=ShowCase

[Support Information]

Line1=" "

Line2=" For support, sales, upgrades or questions:"

Line3=""

Line4=" Some text to demonstrate the XP System Properties logo"

Line5=" Windows XP PC "

Line6=" Your Company Name"

Line7=""

Line8=" +1 (888) 888-888 (voice)"

Line9=" +1 (888) 888-889 (fax)"

Line10=""

Line11=""

Line12=" http://www.Your Company Name.com/"

Save and close the file and you are ready. From now on, if someone opens up the system properties dialog, your own Windows XP System Properties logo is in there.

20. TO DISABLE CHANGING OF WALLPAPER.

The Windows Picture and Fax Viewer will still allow people to select the Set as Desktop Background option upon right-clicking an image shown in the aforementioned system program. You would be better advised to create an OU to host each of the machines on which you wish to restrict this option and adding an entry for a file called "Internet Explorer Wallpaper.bmp" in to the following Policy location:

Computer Configuration | Windows Settings | Security Settings | File System

If you add a file, simply select the location from your own machine and Windows will enter the file as %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Internet Explorer Wallpaper.bmp

If the file does not exist on your computer, navigate to a website, right-click an image (any image) and select Set as Background. This will create the file mentioned above and allow you select it from within Group Policy Editor. You can also edit the registry (carefully, of course).

In the editor (Start > Run > Regedit) navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ActiveDesktop (It may be necessary to create the location).

Here, edit/create the DWORD value "NoChangingWallpaper" so that its value is 1.

16. FOR THOSE SKILLED IN THE ART OF DOS BATCH FILES.

XP has a number of interesting new commands. These include 'eventcreate' and 'eventtriggers' for creating and watching system events, 'typeperf' for monitoring performance of various subsystems, and 'schtasks' for handling scheduled tasks. As usual, typing the command name followed by /? Will give a list of options -- they're all far too baroque to go into here.

15. XP HIDES SOME SYSTEM SOFTWARE YOU MIGHT WANT TO REMOVE......?

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.

14. YOU CAN LOCK YOUR XP WORKSTATION WITH TWO CLICKS OF THE MOUSE.

Create a new shortcut on your desktop using a right mouse click,

And enter 'rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation' in the location field.

Give the shortcut a name you like.

That's it -- just double click on it and your computer will be locked. And if that's not easy enough, Windows key + L will do the same.

13. YOU CAN DELETE FILES IMMEDIATELY, WITHOUT HAVING THEM MOVE TO THE RECYCLE BIN FIRST.

Go to the Start menu, select Run... and type ' gpedit.msc';
Then select User Configuration, Administrative Templates, Windows Components, Windows Explorer and find the Do not move deleted files to the Recycle Bin setting.
Set it. Poking around in gpedit will reveal a great many interface and system options, but take care -- some may stop your computer behaving as you wish. (Professional Edition only).

12. HIDE/UNHIDE LOGON NAMES

If you want to hide or unhide the names of users that are displayed on the initial logon screen:

1. Start Regedit

2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon \ SpecialAccounts \ UserList

3. Add a DWORD with the name of the user account you want to hide

4. Make sure it has a value of 0

5. If there is an existing account, you can unhide it by giving it a value of 1.

11. REMOVING THE MSN MESSENGER.

If you want to remove the MSN Messenger from always starting in the system tray, do

1. Start / Run

2. Then enter in the following string: RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

To remove it completely, see the section Adding / Removing Additional Programs

Remove the hide from the line:

msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7

10. INCREASING SYSTEM PERFORMANCE.

If you have 512 MB or more of memory, you can increase system performance by having the core system kept in memory.

1. Start Regedit

2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager\Memory Management\DisablePagingExecutive

3. Set the value to be 1

4. Reboot the computer.
