Boost Up Internet Speed Without Software

Above 90% computers all over the world run Windows... and hence another computer trick.


FACT
But do you know that about 20% of your internet bandwidth is reserved by Microsoft.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Uses of Reserved Bandwidth
** Windows Automatic Updates rely on this reserved bandwidth.
** Fast loading Microsoft Websites
** Sending Error Reports
** Online Help support in Microsoft Office

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But this can be recovered back...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Remedy
** Start >> Run
** Type gpedit.msc
** This opens the Policy Editor
** Now, Local Computer Policy >> Computer Configuration
** Then, Administrative Templates >> Network
** Now, click on QOS Packet Scheduler
** Now, on Right hand side
** Double Click Limit reservable bandwidth
** Now in Setting Tab

********************* NOTE **********************
It says : Not Configured
Reality : The Explain Tab says "By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection"
***************************************************

** So, on Setting Tab select Enabled
** Now, change Bandwidth limit (%) to 0 (Zero)

********************** NOTE ********************
Misconcept : This don't means that you won't be able to communicate with Microsoft or any its services !!!
Actually : This reserved Bandwidth is only to accelerate Microsoft internet connections more than other connections !!!
****************************************************

** Click OK !!!


That's All !!!

Block Or Unblock Websites without software

Many times in schools, colleges & offices surfing some sites like orkut,etc are banned !
To overcome this you can unblock these or block some other websites and play pranks !


Do The Following :
For eg you want to block www.xyz.com !

* Open the folder C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
* There you will find a file named HOSTS
* Click on the file and press SHIFT and now right click on it .
* From the right click menu select Open with .
* Now, select Notepad to open the file from the list !
* Now, in the file under the line 127.0.0.1 localhost add another line as 127.0.0.2 www.xyz.com.
* Now, File>>Save !

Now, open your web browser and try openning www.xyz.com , it will not load !

To unblock sites just do the opposite !

Open Active Folder in Command Prompt

Working through cmd prompt is not easy with long paths and folder names.

This trick provides a solution !!!

What can be done :

** Command prompt can be added to 'Right Click Menu' of each folder.
** Clicking on this will open the folder in cmd prompt.
** Now, the files in that folder can easily be operated.

How to do it :

** Open any folder.
** Tools >> Folder Options...
** Change to File Types
** Select Folder from the list.
** Click Advanced button.
** Now, click New
** Type Command Prompt in Action
** Type
cmd.exe in Application used to perform action:
** Now, click OK and Apply

That's All !!!

Now, Right Click any folder and click Command Prompt
And see what happens !!!

Run Command missing from Start Menu

First Solution:

Summary: Depending on your configuration and customization the Run command may not be visible on the Start menu. It's easy to make it show up.

When I go to Start menu I have no Run option?

One of the "problems", if you want to call it that, with computer systems is that almost nothing is standard. There are defaults, there are common settings, and there are recommended tweaks and personalizations.

The net result is that often for something as "standard" as Windows XP, it's very easy for one person's Start Menu to be quite different from another's.

And so it is with respect to the Run... command. Let's find and enable it for you.

Right click on the Start button and click on Properties:

Right away we can see that choice to be made: "Start Menu" or "Classic Start Menu". The good news is that the one you're currently using will already be selected, and I'm going to assume you don't want to change this right now.

"As you can see the Start menu is extremely customizable."

But, the options are a little different depending on which you're using, so I'll show you both.

Classic Start Menu

Click the Customize button:


Make sure that the Display Run option is checked. (If you don't see a Display Run option, then here's the other option how to Display Run











Second Solution

You don't have Start, Run do you? That's why you're here. Smile

In that case, using Windows Explorer, navigate to c:\windows\system32 and double-click on gpedit.msc:








Once in the Group Policy Editor, expand in turn:

  • User Configuration

  • Administrative Templates

And click on Start Menu and Taskbar. You should see something much like this:















Double click on Remove Run menu from Start Menu to change its setting:



















It should be enough to click on Not Configured and then OK. If you now look at your Start menu properties, you should have the option of displaying the Run menu once again.


Third Solution

If you don't have Windows XP Pro, then you'll need to edit the registry manually.

Click Start, then click Run type in regedit and click on OK.

Or, since you probably don't have Run, using Windows Explorer you can double click on regedt32.exe in c:\windows\system32.

Expand these registry keys in turn:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Software
Microsoft
Windows
CurrentVersion
Policies
Explorer

You should see something similar to this:










Right Click on the NoRun item and click on Delete. Confirm that you want to delete, and you should have the option of displaying the Run menu once again. One thing to note is that it's quite possible that if you're in an environment managed by a centralized policy, these settings may have no effect. Your IT administrator may set things up so as to disable the run command, and other things as well at the domain level. You'll need to ask them if this is the case.



Enable/Disable Task Manager

First Solution

There is a registry hack to
enable or disable Windows NT TaskManager. The same registry hack applies to Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

In run, type the regedit








Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER

Key: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

Name: DisableTaskMgr

Type: REG_DWORD

Value: 1=Enable this key, that is DISABLE TaskManager

Value: 0=Disablet his key, that is Don't Disable, Enable TaskManager

As part of the enhanced management available in Windows 2000 and Windows XP, rather than risking a registry change, as an administrator you can enable or disable Windows 2000 Pro or Windows XP Pro's TaskManager using Group Policy Editor. This can be applied to the local policy. Note: if you are trying to override your organizations group policy, you can't. As soon as you re-authenticate to the domain, the domain or OU Group Policy will rewrite the registry setting. But if the TaskManager was accidently disabled or you need to control this item for a set of standalone boxes this is for you:



Second Solution

When your Task Manager is disabled, maybe it is set by ADMINISTRATOR or infected by VIRUS.

When your pc is infected by virus, one way to stop the process is in the task manager. But the problem is, when the virus is disabled it.

Heres one way to enable it...

Step 1: Hit the window button



















Step 2: In run, type the gpedit.msc











Enabling Task Manager

step 3: when gpedit.msc appears, click on administrative templates

step 4: click on system, then CTRL + ALT + DEL options

step 5: then double click on remove task manager

step 6: Choose disabled then click then Apply and OK

try to run the task manager... HAve Fun!!!


NOTE: gpedit.msc is not available on windows home edition
