Fast ShutDown of the System.....
If you need to restart the taskbar (for example, after you've changed a registry entry), press CTRL+ALT+DEL, click Explorer, and then click End Task. The taskbar is removed and then restarts. You can directly shut down your system by pressing ALT+F4 keys at a time. ALT+F4 hotkey is used to terminate any application, file or program which is on top.

Increasing options in add/remove programs:
Not a fan of MSN Messenger? don't want Windows Media Player on your system? Fair enough, but if you go to Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel, by default none of Windows XP's 'built in' programs are visible. it's fairly easy to change, though... just open the file X:\Windows\inf\sysoc.inf (where X: is the drive letter where Windows XP is installed) in Notepad. You should see a section of the file something like this:
[Components]
NtComponents=ntoc.dll,NtOcSetupProc,,4
WBEM=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,wbemoc.inf,hide,7
Display=desk.cpl,DisplayOcSetupProc,,7
Fax=fxsocm.dll,FaxOcmSetupProc,fxsocm.inf,,7
NetOC=netoc.dll,NetOcSetupProc,netoc.inf,,7
iis=iis.dll,OcEntry,iis.inf,,7
com=comsetup.dll,OcEntry,comnt5.inf,hide,7
dtc=msdtcstp.dll,OcEntry,dtcnt5.inf,hide,7
IndexSrv_System = setupqry.dll,IndexSrv,setupqry.inf,,7
TerminalServer=TsOc.dll, HydraOc, TsOc.inf,hide,2
msmq=msmqocm.dll,MsmqOcm,msmqocm.inf,,6
ims=imsinsnt.dll,OcEntry,ims.inf,,7
fp_extensions=fp40ext.dll,FrontPage4Extensions,fp40ext.inf,,7
AutoUpdate=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,au.inf,hide,7
msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7
RootAutoUpdate=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,rootau.inf,,7
IEAccess=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,ieaccess.inf,,7
This is a list of all components installed at the moment. I've taken the example of MSN Messenger - the program entry called 'msmsgs', third-last line. You can see the word 'hide' highlighted - this is the string which tells Windows not to display the component in the Add/Remove Programs list. Fix this up by simply deleting the word 'hide' like so:
msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7
To this:
msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,,7
Now, after restarting, you should be able to see MSN Messenger in the Add/Remove Programs list. If you want to be able to quickly view and remove all components, simply open the sysoc.inf file and do a global find and replace for the word ",hide" and replace it with a single comma ",".

Speeding Up Share Viewing:
This is a great tweak. Before I found it, I was always smashing my head against the table waiting to view shares on other computers. Basically, when you connect to another computer with Windows XP, it checks for any Scheduled tasks on that computer - a fairly useless task, but one that can add up to 30 seconds of waiting on the other end - not good! Fortunately, it's fairly easy to disable this process. First, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Explorer/RemoteComputer/NameSpace in the Registry. Below that, there should be a key called {D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}. Just delete this, and after a restart, Windows will no longer check for scheduled tasks - mucho performance improvement!
Automatically Kill Programs At Shutdown:
don't you hate it when, while trying to shut down, you get message boxes telling you that a program is still running? Making it so that Windows automatically kills applications running is a snap. Simply navigate to the HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelDesktop directory in the Registry, then alter the key AutoEndTasks to the value 1.

Orkut surfing using Proxy
A proxy server is system that hides the identuty of the other computers on its network. Which means that only the information of proxy server is available to world not yours own. There are tons of good working proxy sites on internet which can be used free of cost. These sites are very helpful if you want to access sites like orkut, hi5 and other such soial bookmarking sites which are genmerally blocked by the system administrtor on offices, schools and especially in colleges.Following are some tested proxy servers : OurProxy, Anonr, InvisibleSurfing, HideMyAss, Grab, Kproxy.

Know The Most common Virus---Win32/ExploreZip
What is Win32/ExploreZip?
ExploreZip is a Win32-based e-mail worm. It searches for any and all Microsoft Office documents on your hard drive and network drives. When it finds any Word, Excel, or Powerpoint documents using the following extensions: .doc, .xls, and .ppt, it erases the contents of those files. It also emails itself to anyone who sends you an email.
How do I get it?
ExploreZip arrives as an email attachment. The message will most likely come from someone you know, and the body of the message will read:
"I received your email and I shall send you a reply ASAP. Till then, take a look at the attached zipped docs."
The attachment will be name: "zipped_files.exe" and have a WinZip icon. Double clicking the zipped_files.exe program infects your computer. You will then see a dialog box displaying the following message:
"Cannot open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive. If this file is part of a ZIP format backup set, insert the last disk of the backup set and try again. Please press F1 for help."
Who's at risk?
People running Microsoft Windows95, Windows98, or WindowsNT are at risk. MacOS and WebTV are immune to the virus.
What exactly does the virus do to my computer?
When the zipped_files.exe program is ran, it creates a copy of itself named explore.exe in your Windows System folder.
On Windows 95/98 systems, the following entry is written to the WIN.INI file:
run=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\Explore.exe
On Windows NT systems, the following entry is written to the system registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Windows\run="C:\WINNT\System32\Explore.exe"
Is there a way to tell if I have sent the virus to anyone?
No.
Is there a way that I can clean my computer?
Yes, you can follow these instructions OR download McAfee's free stand-alone ExploreZip cleaner.
-- Begin Instructions --
Win9x
1) Click the Start Menu - Run
2) Type sysedit.exe and click OK

prompted to save your changes.
6) Click the Start Menu - Shutdown

What can I do to protect myself in the future?
Get a good anti-virus scanning program with active protection. These programs will scan files as they are saved to your computer's storage devices, including incoming email attachments. If you've gotten away without any virus protection so far, then you've been lucky! (or perhaps not and you are just not aware of what's on your machine). With the new propagation methods that have been used by recent viruses, many other viruses, worms, and trojans are sure to surface and spread like wild fire over the next few years.
Network Associates McAfee VirusScan is one of the best and most popular virus scanners on the market. I use McAfee VirusScan. Their automated update and upgrade features are very handy and the program is straightforward and easy to use. Please follow the links bellow to learn more about these programs.
McAfee VirusScan 7.0 (Free after rebate)
Is there anything more I should do?
Yes! These programs can only do their jobs if you keep their virus definitions up to date. A program's virus definition list is basically a text file that contains a list of all known viruses "in the wild" and tells the program how to recognize these viruses. A number of new viruses are discovered every day, so it is recommended that you update your program's virus definitions at least once a month. The first of the month is recommended as most software manufacturers release new virus definitions on that day. A number of the software titles can now be scheduled to update themselves. However, you must be connected to the Internet at the time that they run their updates
