By default the my computer icon in start menu is in standard windows folder form but you can convert it into drive menu form for your convinience for easy and fast access. If you want to access a particular drive you need to double click on it but if you create the drive menu you can directly access the drive just by following simple steps.
Follow these steps:
1)right click on the start menu button, then click on properties.
2)Select start menu tab and click on customize button.
3)Select advance tab, then scroll down advance menu item.
4)Search my computer, and click on display as a menu radio button.
5)Click ok twice.
Now when you select my computer a list of drive appear as the menu and you can access each and every drive individually.

Change The Default Location For Installing Apps
ReplyDelete-----------------------------------------------
As the size of hard drives increase, more people are using partitions to separate and store groups of files.
XP uses the C:\Program Files directory as the default base directory into which new programs are installed. However, you can change the default installation drive and/ or directory by using a Registry hack.
Go to :-
- Start > Run
- Type “regedit” (without “” NOOBS!)
- Go to this directory…
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
- Look for the value named ProgramFilesDir. by default,this value will be C:\Program Files. Edit the value to any valid drive or folder and XP will use that new location as the default installation directory for new programs.

Create A Huge File
ReplyDeleteYou can create a file of any size using nothing more than what's supplied with Windows.
Start by converting the desired file size into hexadecimal notation.
You can use the Windows Calculator in Scientific mode do to this.
Suppose you want a file of 1 million bytes. Enter 1000000 in the calculator and click on the
Hex option to convert it (1 million in hex is F4240.)
Pad the result with zeroes at the left until the file size reaches eight digits—000F4240.
Now open a command prompt window.
In Windows 95, 98, or Me, you can do this by entering COMMAND in the Start menu's Run dialog;
in Windows NT 4.0, 2000, or XP enter CMD instead.
Enter the command DEBUG BIGFILE.DAT and ignore the File not found message.
Type RCX and press Enter. Debug will display a colon prompt.
Enter the last four digits of the hexadecimal number you calculated (4240, in our example).
Type RBX and press Enter, then enter the first four digits of the hexadecimal size (000F, in our example).
Enter W for Write and Q for Quit. You've just created a 1-million-byte file using Debug. Of course
you can create a file of any desired size using the same technique.
Create One-Click Shutdown and Reboot Shortcuts:
ReplyDeleteFirst, create a shortcut on your desktop by right-clicking on the desktop, choosing New, and then choosing Shortcut. The Create Shortcut Wizard appears. In the box asking for the location of the shortcut, type shutdown. After you create the shortcut, double-clicking on it will shut down your PC.
But you can do much more with a shutdown shortcut than merely shut down your PC. You can add any combination of several switches to do extra duty, like this:
shutdown -r -t 01 -c "Rebooting your PC"
Double-clicking on that shortcut will reboot your PC after a one-second delay and display the message "Rebooting your PC." The shutdown command includes a variety of switches you can use to customize it. Table 1-3 lists all of them and describes their use.
I use this technique to create two shutdown shortcuts on my desktop—one for turning off my PC, and one for rebooting. Here are the ones I use:
shutdown -s -t 03 -c "Bye Bye m8!"
shutdown -r -t 03 -c "Ill be back m8 ;)!"
Switch
What it does
-s
Shuts down the PC.
-l
Logs off the current user.
-t nn
Indicates the duration of delay, in seconds, before performing the action.
-c "messagetext"
Displays a message in the System Shutdown window. A maximum of 127 characters can be used. The message must be enclosed in quotation marks.
-f
Forces any running applications to shut down.
-r
Reboots the PC.
