Dear All: other then Tickle Do you know any good website that could help in practise for IQs or Problem Solving

Who knows ... open office will not be free forever

Very Nice

Welcome to all of you guys, Wish you spend a very nice time

We will expecting you mate Thanks

Let's vote

I do not have any tend to debate here... But I disagree with you in this point, because even Microsoft itself issues hotfixes, service packs,...etc to solve things in the OS, and when it come to main or mandatory thing they issue a new Operating System.But if tweaking stops; many software providers will close its doors......hahahahahaha

Will it be good idea if I suggest to have unattended section here in the forum!?

Actually any thing will be good as long as it do what you need

It goes without saying that it is essential to backup.... but let me say it again here "BACKUP!" ..... sorry for shouting I have so much painful experience of my own, of suddenly without warning, losing system information and a productive setup through failing to make a regular backup and I know I ought to know better. I do backup regularly now, but it has cost me some pain to get to the regular backup without fail stage. You can avoid the pain by backing up often. In this back up guide I show you how easy it is to make use of Windows Backup, the backup software that is supplied free with Windows XP. If you are interested in checking out more sophisticated freeware and open source backup software then try the HsInlin BackUp page for great free Backup Software. Backing Up with Windows Backup Go to Start, All Programs, Accessories, Backup and the Windows Backup Software will start in Wizard mode. If you choose advanced mode you are offered a choice of what to back up - everything, selected files, or only system data. Choose a destination for your backup, which can be a CD or DVD drive or an external drive. Give the backup job a name, it can be useful to change the default name that Windows allocates the backup job to help you to identify it later. Then it is just a matter of letting the Windows backup software run and do its job. When the backup is complete you will see a dialog box onscreen. This gives you information about the backup just completed. All done! It is good practice if you can, to store a backup away from your machine to give protection in the event of fire, flood or theft, for instance. If you have a backup of your data stored elsewhere you can replace the hardware you have lost, reinstall the most recent backup and you are back to work and productivity.

Productivity Hints and Tips - Working with Files There are so many different types of files that sometimes it can be difficult to remember where a file originated from or what programme or software you use to open and edit. Well, here I have listed the most common file extensions with brief explanations of their origin - hope it helps! Document File Extensions .txt - This extension denotes a text file, one of the simplest word-processing documents. Windows will open this file by default using Notepad, and all word-processing applications will open a simple text file with this suffix. .doc - Microsoft Word creates these files. A word processing file hat again, is recognised by all modern word-processors. Depending on which software you are using and which version of Microsoft Word was used to create the .doc file, various features of the document may or may not be recognised when opened. .xls - This suffix denotes a spreadsheet that has been created by the Microsoft Excel programme. Many freeware spreadsheets will recognise and open this kind of file. .csv - A file with this extension is filled with data that is seperated by commas. It is used to supply data to spreadsheets and databases and can be opened by Excel, Word Processors and Text Editors. .rtf - This file extension stands for Rich Text Format. Word Processors are able to open and edit this kind of file which has more sophisticated formatting than a simple text document. .ppt - This suffix is appended to Powerpoint files, a presentation programmes which is part of Microsoft's Office suite. .pdf - The pdf extension is very common on the web and is often encountered when downloading catalogues or brochures online. The extension denotes an Adobe Acrobat file and you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader or a freeware equivalent to open it. .htm and .html - Either of these extensions apply to files on the Internet that are designed to be viewed with World Wide Web browser such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla or Opera. Compressed File Extensions .zip - This kind of file has been compressed using Zip software. It can be decompressed and the contents read by many of the freeware zip programmes available or use Winzip to open zip files. .rar - Another compressed file sometimes encountered online. Some freeware software that unzips files will also decompress .rar files otherwise WinRar opens this file.

Safe Surfing Protect your Identity and Personal Data Identity - When signing up for anything online, even free software where your personal information may be requested before you can download, always think carefully about the kind of information you are being asked to supply. For instance, if something is free you should not have to give credit cards details. Consider registering a free email address at hotmail, yahoo, or opera and using that when asked to enter an email before a download. This will keep your main email address safe from abuse. Safe Surfing Protect your Financial Information Email - Never send your credit or debit card information by email. Email is not a secure method of communication and emails can be intercepted and the information read. Never reply to emails requesting passwords or that you enter login details for your online banking - these are almost certain to be scams. Emails requesting you to log in and supply access information to your bank or ebay, for instance, are know as "Phishing Emails" or "Spoof Emails". Do not respond to them or click on any of the links in these emails. It is good practice to NEVER click on any link in an unsolicited email, even the unsubscribe link. Quite often the unsubscribe link in a spam email is just a way to verify an active email address and by clicking on it you will just encourage more junk spam mail. Shopping - When you shop online, be sure that you only provide financial information when you have a secure connection to an online shopping site. Ways of telling that the connection is secure include; 1) the address of the site will start https:// - notice the additional s? this is a sign that you have made a secure connection and that any information you send will be encrypted and not be able to be read if intercepted in transit. 2) Your web browser should show a locked padlock when you are connected to a secure site, the padlock symbol will usually be in the bottom right of your screen, look for the padlock symbol and the https:// start to the address to be sure. Safe Surfing Protect your Children or the coming kids in the near future As a parent, you will want your children to be safe in their adventures online. Keep their computer in a family room. It is not a good idea to allow children to access the Internet from their bedrooms. Consider installing "Nanny Software", this will block sites that are unsuitable for a young audience and offer other protections to a family computer. Service Providers such as AOL have their own proprietary software for safe family surfing. Take an interest in what your children are doing nline. If you occasionally ask questions and get them to talk about what they are doing online you will hopefully give them a sense of an adult prescence when they surf and communicate with strangers - you might ask them what they are typing in the chatroom!

You can run a program as a different user without logging out and then in again. First right click the icon of the program you wish to run, select Run As... and enter the user name and password. This will only apply for that run. Works well if you need to have administrative permissions to install a program, which many programs require.

lock your desktop with just two mouse clicks To lock your XP works-tation with just two clicks of the mouse. First create a new shortcut on your desktop using a right mouse click, and enter rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation in the location field. Name the shortcut whatever you like. Then just double click on it and your computer will be instantly locked. The Windows key + L also does the same thing.

General keyboard shortcuts

These options are used with the Windows XP setup WINNT32.EXE program and change the way Windows can be installed. /checkupgradeonly Check the existing OS for compatibility with XP (but does not install) /cmd:command_line Executes command after GUI mode of setup completes, but before the reboot. /cmdcons Show the Recovery Console option to repair a failed installation. /copydir:folder Creates a subdirectory named "folder" below the XP directory /copysource:folder Copies source files to local directory "folder" /debug[level][:filename] Write a debug log to filename for warning levels. Level 0=severe errors, 1=errors, 2=warnings, 3=information, 4=detailed info for debugging. Default level is 2, and default filename is winnt32.log in the default Windows directory. /dudisable Disable dynamic update, so only the original setup files are used. /makelocalsource Copy all setup and installation files to the hard disk to run the installation from the hard disk rather than the CD (if CD is having problems during install). /noreboot Do not automatically reboot after installation completes copying the files. /s:path Specify the location of the Windows XP source files, such as a network path /syspart :drive_letter Copies temporary files to specified drive, make the drive active, and run from that drive. /tempdrive :drive_letter Drive location of temporary files /udf:ID[,UDF_file] Specify the settings file (uniqueness database) for use during an unattended installation /unattend Unattended installation. The /s option to specify the location of the source files must be used

Speed up shutdown times It's not only start-up that you'd like to speed up; you can also make sure that your system shuts down faster. If shutting down XP takes what seems to be an inordinate amount of time, here are a couple of steps you can take to speed up the shutdown process: Don't have XP clear your paging file at shutdown. For security reasons, you can have XP clear your paging file (pagefile.sys) of its contents whenever you shut down. Your paging file is used to store temporary files and data, but when your system shuts down, information stays in the file. Some people prefer to have the paging file cleared at shutdown because sensitive information such as unencrypted passwords sometimes ends up in the file. However, clearing the paging file can slow shutdown times significantly, so if extreme security isn't a high priority, you might not want to clear it. To shut down XP without clearing your paging file, run the Registry Editor (click Start > Run, then type regedit in the Run box) and go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management Change the value of ClearPageFileAtShutdown to 0. Close the Registry, and restart your computer. Whenever you turn off XP from now on, the paging file won't be cleared, and you should be able to shut down more quickly. Note: Please be careful when editing the Registry; you can do a lot of damage here. Don't change or delete anything unless you know exactly what it is. Disable services that run at start-up Constantly running in the background of XP are services--processes that help the operating system run or that provide support to applications. Many of these services launch automatically at start-up. While you need many of them, some are not required, and they can slow down your system when they run in the background. You can disable services at start-up by using the system configuration utility, similar to the way that you halt programs from running at start-up, except that you use the Services tab instead of the Startup tab. But the system configuration utility doesn't necessarily list every service that launches on start-up. A bigger problem is that disabling services is more of shot in the dark than disabling programs. When you disable a program, you can get a sense of what the program does. But when you disable a service through the system configuration utility, there's often no way to know what it does. A better way of disabling services at start-up is via the Services computer-management console. Run it by typing services.msc at the command prompt. The Services computer-management console includes a description of all services so that you can know ahead of time whether a particular service is one you want to turn off. It also lets you pause the service so that you can test your machine and see whether that service is needed. After you run the console, click the Extended tab. This view will show you a description of each service in the left pane when you highlight the service. The Startup Type column shows you which services launch on start-up--any with Automatic in that field. Click that column to sort together all the services that automatically launch on start-up. Then highlight each of those services and read the descriptions. When you find a service you want to disable, right-click it and choose Properties. In the Properties dialog box that appears, choose Manual from the Startup Type drop-down list. The service won't start automatically from now on, but you can start it manually via the console. If you want the service disabled so that it can't be run, choose Disabled. To test the results, turn off any services that you don't want to run by clicking Stop The Service in the left pane, or by right-clicking the service and choosing Stop. Here is a list of some common services you might want to stop from running at start-up: Portable Media Serial Number Retrieves the serial number of a portable music player attached to your PC. Task Scheduler Schedules unattended tasks to be run. If you don't schedule any unattended tasks, turn it off. Uninterruptible Power Supply Manages an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) connected to your PC. Automatic Updates Automatically checks for Windows updates. (You can check manually by going to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/.) Telnet (service available on XP Pro only) Allows a remote user to log in to your computer and run programs. (This will not be found on all versions of XP Pro.) Wireless Zero Configuration Service Automatically configures a Wi-Fi (802.11) network card. Disable this only if you're not using a Wi-Fi network card.
