Useful computer tricks !!!

Post by spid4r »

Here I will list some tricks for Your PC !

Faster boot time in xp:

First, let's do a bit of comparing with the "before and after" you try this registry trick. Please try restarting your pc and observe at the blue lines that appear upon booting. Notice how many times it appeared? Now try this...

Here's How:

[hide]To increase system boot speed, here's what you can do:

1. Start>run> and type ''regedit''

2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/ SYSTEM / CurrentControlSet / Control / Session Manager / Memory Managment / PrefetchParameters / EnablePrefetcher.

3. Double **** on "Enableprefetcher"
4. Past 1 in Value Date, and Hexadecimal most be on(enable)

Then restart the pc and and look at the blue lines again. See how many times or how fast it goes? Most of the time it just quickly passes that part




Faster Start Browsing

Here a trick to browse ur Start menu faster.
******************************************************************************
1. **** Start
2. **** Run
3. type in \'regedit\' and enter
4. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER / CONTROL PANEL / DESKTOP
5. Make a new key and call it \'MenuShowDisplay
6. Enter it and give it a 0 or 1 value
7. Ur done!
8. Exit and restart Windows.


Faster shut down:

Tired of the long wait when you shut down your computer? Here's a registry trick that solves that problem without making you unplug your machine prematurely.

Here's How:

[hide]Here's what you can do to quickly shutdown Windows XP:

1. Start>run> and type ''regedit''

2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/ SYSTEM/ CurrentControlSet/ Control

3. Left **** on control and you find WaitToKillServiceTimeout.

4. Double **** on WaitToKillServiceTimeout.

5. In WaitToKillServiceTimeout, you'll notice that it's 20000 which means 20 seconds. If u want to shutdown windows faster, then change the numbers into something smaller, like 10000 or 5000 (10 sec or 5 sec) or if u want to prolong shutdown, just type a larger value, like 50000 (50sec)


If you want tricks for any particular operation,just post ur requests...

All the best !
