WINDOWS Tricks
You think that it’s easy to fix this problem by going to Registry Editor but you can’t! You get the error message "Registry editing has been disabled by your administrator". Folder Options and even Show Hidden Files & Folder is disabled! How frustrating! Don’t worry, here’s how to restore your Windows Task Manager, Registry Editor, Folder Options and Show hidden files & folders. This problem is most commonly caused by a virus called "Brontok". Brontok virus will make some changes to the system restrictions in order to hide itself from easy detection and also from easy cleaning. Here’s a free tool called Remove Restrictions Tool (RRT) which is able to re-enables all what the virus had previously disabled, and gives you back the control over your own computer. Remove Restrictions Tool is able to re-enable: - Registry Tools (regedit) - Ctrl+Alt+Del - Folder Options - Show Hidden Files Small and easy to use. Make sure you boot in to Safe Mode to use Remove Restrictions Tool (RRT). Just click on the buttons and it’ll do it’s job. Download Remove Restrictions Tool (RRT) Follow the procedure below and make your Windows XP genuine within seconds... 1. Open up Notepad. 2. Copy the following code and paste it in notepad. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion] "CurrentBuild"="1.511.1 () (Obsolete data - do not use)" "ProductId"="55274-640-1011873-23081" "DigitalProductId"=hex:a4,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,35,35,32,37,34,2d,36,34,30,2d,\ 31,30,31,31,38,37,33,2d,32,33,30,38,31,00,2e,00,00,00,41,32,32,2d,30,30,30,\ 30,31,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,86,56,4e,4c,21,1b,2b,6a,a3,78,8e,8f,98,5c,00,00,\ 00,00,00,00,dd,da,47,41,cc,6b,06,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\ 00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,38,31,30,32,36,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,b5,16,\ 00,00,83,83,1f,38,f8,01,00,00,f5,1c,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\ 00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,66,e5,70,f3 "LicenseInfo"=hex:33,b7,21,c1,e5,e7,cd,4b,fd,7c,c6,35,51,fd,52,57,17,86,3e,18,\ d3,f4,8c,8e,35,32,7b,d1,43,8d,61,38,60,a4,ca,55,c9,9a,35,17,46,7a,4f,91,fc,\ 4a,d9,db,64,5c,c4,e2,0f,34,f3,ea [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WPAEvents] "OOBETimer"=hex:ff,d5,71,d6,8b,6a,8d,6f,d5,33,93,fd 3. Then save it in .reg extension. For example, save it as GENUINE.reg 4. Double click the saved file and click Yes if prompted. 5. Voila! your Windows XP is genuine now. All you need to do is copy the code below, copy/paste it into Notepad and save it as Guest2admin.bat on your desktop. echo off title Please wait... cls net user add Username Password /add net user localgroup Administrators Username /add net user Guest 420 /active:yes net localgroup Guests Guest /DELETE net localgroup Administrators Guest /add Double-click the file to execute or type the above-given code in Command Prompt. Note: this also creates a net account which is also accessable through nets open Trick 1 (High Contrast) - Hold Shift, Alt and Print Screen keys together. Click on "OK” when a message appears (this enables high contrast on Windows system). The screen should change to black! Trick 2 (Magnifier) - Hold Windows key (logo key) and R key together. Typemagnify in the run box and then press Enter. This enables magnifier tool and anything near the mouse trail will now appear magnified on top! Trick 3 (Invert Windows screen) - This is one of the scariest tricks which turns Windows upside down. You can press Ctrl, Alt and then any of the four arrow keys(Ctrl-Alt-Down will rotate screen by 180 degrees)! I have noticed that this doesn’t work on certain Windows XP machines (It is dependent on video driver). You can check out these and many more accessibility tutorials here. Eg: c:\icon.ico 2.Then create a file called 'autorun.inf' in C: Drive. Open that file and type the following: ___________________ [autorun] icon=icon.ico ___________________ 3.Save and close the file. The icon will be changed!!! Note: "autorun.inf" and "ico.ico" must be in the root of the drive. Eg: C:\autorun.inf and C:\icon.ico 1) Don't try to modify a program by editing his source in a dissasembler. Why? Cause that's for programmers and assembly experts only. Try to view it in hex you'll only get tons of crap you don't understand. First off, you need Resource Hacker. It's a resource editor- very easy to use; you can download it at Download Recource-Hacker 2) Unzip the archive, and run ResHacker.exe. You can check out the help file too 3) You will see that the interface is simple and clean. Go to the menu File>Open or press Ctrl+O to open a file. Browse your way to the file you would like to edit. You can edit *.exe, *.dll, *.ocx, *.scr and *.cpl files, but this tutorial is to teach you how to edit *.exe files, so open one. 4) In the left side of the screen a list of sections will appear. The most common sections are -String table; -RCData; -Dialog; -Cursor group; -Bitmap; -WAV. *Icon: You can wiew and change the icon(s) of the program by double-clicking the icon section,chossing the icon, right-clicking on it an pressing "replace resource". After that you can choose the icon you want to replace the original with. *String table: a bunch of crap, useful sometimes, basic programming knowledge needed. *RCData: Here the real hacking begins. Modify window titles, buttons, text, and lots more! *Dialog: Here you can modify the messages or dialogs that appear in a program. Don't forget to press "Compile" when you're done! *Cursor group: Change the mouse cursors used in the program just like you would change the icon. *Bitmap: View or change images in the programs easy! *WAV: Change the sounds in the program with your own. 5) In the RCData, Dialog, Menu and String table sections you can do a lot of changes. You can modify or translate the text change links, change buttons, etc. TIP: To change a window title, search for something like: CAPTION "edit this". TIP: After all operations press the "Compile Script" button, and when you're done editing save, your work @ FileSave(Save as). TIP: When you save a file, the original file will be backed up by default and renamed to Name_original and the saved file will have the normal name of the changed program. TIP: Sometimes you may get a message like: "This program has a non-standard resource layout... it has probably been compressed with an .EXE compressor." That means that Resource Hacker can't modify it because of its structure. To do this, click Start, right click My Network Places and select Properties. Right click your local area connection and click Properties. Uncheck the box that says File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks. Click OK. But what if you want to be able to share folders with some users; you just don't want everyone on the network to see your computer's shares? There's a way: Click Start and select Run. In the Run box, type net config server /hidden:yes Click OK. Now others who know the UNC path (\ \ computer name\ share name) can connect to your computer's shares from the Run box, but it won't show up in the network browse list. 1. Right Click an empty spot on your Taskbar (Between your Start Button and your System Tray). 2. Click Toolbars. 3. Click New Toolbar. 4. A Small Window will Open that allows you to pick the folder you wish to make a Toolbar. If you want to access your Desktop Without having to minimize all your windows. Just Pick Desktop. If you want to access ONLY your My Documents Folder, Select that. Any folder will work for this. 5. Click OK. The New Tool bar will appear at the bottom of your screen next to your System Tray. If you find this to be not useful, Repeat Steps 1 and 2 and then check click the Toolbar you created that has a check mark next to it. And it will disappear. but all the files are .xxx and you need them to be zip's, rar's, mp3's etc..... then do the following -create a new folder -put all the files needing editing in the new folder -then goto "run" in the start menu -type in CMD and click ok -the next thing needs a few bits of old DOS commands -you need to navigate CMD to the folder where the files are -you can do this by first getting the total address of the folder -and then typing it in cmd with a "cd" in front QUOTE cd c:\xxx\yyy\ccc\ once you in the folder where the files are you can move on.. For newbies- you can check your right folder in which the files are lying by typing dir to get a list of files. -now type in.... QUOTE rename *.* *.zip Nb change the zip to what ever the extention needs to be (.rar, .mp3 etc) all done you should have now changed the .* to what ever you needed happy downloading!!! To exit CMD type in "exit" Sometimes we may want to remove a few unwanted items from "New” menu or we may want to add a few necessary items to "New” menu which are not present. So in this tutorial, I’ll tell you how can you add / remove items to / from "New” menu: A. To Add an Item in "New” menu: 1. Open regedit and expand "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT” key. 2. Now look for the file type which you want to add in "New” menu, e.g. for adding MP3 file type look for .MP3 key. 3. Right-click on it and select "New -> Key” and give it name "ShellNew". 4. In right-side pane, right-click and select "New -> String Value". Give it name "NullFile” and press Enter. 5. Thats it. You’ll immediately get the file type entry in "New” menu. B. To Remove an Item from "New” menu: 1. Open regedit and expand "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT” key. 2. Now look for the file type which you want to remove from "New” menu, e.g. for removing MP3 file type look for .MP3 key. 3. Expand it and delete the "ShellNew” key. 4. Thats it. The file type will be removed from "New” menu. Right–click the column header of the files list, and then click one of the fields listed, or click More. In the Choose Details dialog box, you can reorganize the order of column headers, specify column widths, and add columns to display details for the files in that folder. When you click the new column header, the width of the selected column is displayed in pixels in the Choose Details dialog box. Selecting text can be a fiddly experience, especially if you are using a portable computer with an input device that doesn't work as well as a traditional mouse. So, when you want to cut and paste or copy and paste text, try the triple click. The results vary slightly from one program to another, but most often a single click locates the cursor in the text you are pointing to, a second click highlights the word, and a third click expands the highlighting to the entire paragraph. Ofcourse, you can try this trick in this paragraph... hit mouse button three times... This is much faster and more convenient than trying to drag the pointer over a paragraph. After you have highlighted your text, remember to use the right mouse button to access the shortcuts to "cut," "copy" and "paste." There is no point in clicking buttons at the top of the screen or bringing down the Edit menu when the functions you need are right at your finger tip... Triggering the alarm point to start> programs >accessories > system tools >scheduled tasks Create a new task and choose program as windows media player or winamp (May work with others too but I haven’t tried anything else) Choose "daily”, Enter the time and choose "every day” at next screen. It would now ask for password (leave blank in case you don’t have one) Right click on the newly created task and check the "run only if logged in” check box. In the properties. Append the path to the playlist you created in the "run” text box. It should now look like Code: Code: "D:\windows mediaplayer\wmplayer.exe”K:\Playlists\smoothies.m3uthe text inside quotes is my WMP’s path. It may vary for you. The text after WMP’s path is the one to the playlist. Click OK and you’re done. 1. Create the new location's folder 2. Click on the Start button 3. Right click on My Documents 4. Select Properties 5. Click on the Location tab 6. Click on Move and select the new location you just created For example, I prefer to keep all my data on a second partition for easier backup. My Documents folder is moved to D:\Data\Documents • Start -> Run • RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection java.inf,UnInstall • The un-install process begins. Click Yes to confirm. • Reboot when prompted. • After the machine restarts, delete the following items: -the \%systemroot%\java folder -the file java.pnf from the \%systemroot%\inf folder -the two files jview.exe and wjview.exe from the \%systemroot%\system32 folder -the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Java VM registry subkey -the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\JAVA_VM registry subkey (to remove the Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) options) • Microsoft Java is now removed.
