Hate the “Shared Documents” icon at the top of your My Computer window? Instead of
trying to figure out why this bizarre “feature” was needed, here’s how you can be rid of
it: open the Registry Editor
(Start > Run > “regedit” > [Enter]), go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARE MicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerMy
ComputerNameSpace DelegateFolders, and delete the sub-key (it looks like a folder)
called {59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee}. You should see the effect
immediately.

Error Reporting in XP
If error reporting in XP is bugging you then turn it off.
When a system error occurs in XP, a little dialog box appears asking if you want to report the error to Microsoft. Click the message box to make it disappear. You don't have to report the error if you don't want to and on today's "Call for Help" Leo shows you how to turn off the feature if you find it distracting.
To disable error reporting, follow these directions:
1. Right-click My Computer and choose Properties.
2. Click the Advanced tab on your System Properties dialog box.
3. Click the Error Reporting button on the Advanced tab.
4. Place a checkmark next to "Disable error reporting."
5. Leave the other radio button unchecked next to the text labeled, "But notify me when critical errors occur."
6. Click OK.
Windows Tip's
1.
Windows uses a portion of the hard disk as RAM, constantly swapping data between RAM and hard disk as required. The speed of your hard disk is in the order of 1000 times slower than that of your main memory. Inefficient use of the swap file could considerable slow down your system to a very great extent. One of the best ways to speed up the swap file usage is to create a permanent swap file. In a permanent swap file, the file used for swapping information has a fixed size and location on your hard disk. When a temporary swap file is used, the location and size of the file is determined by application being used and is not predictable. Also, since a temporary swap file is constantly written to and is not fixed in size, it would be highly fragmented across the partition that holds it. A better option is to create the swap file on a dedicated partition on your hard disk. By doing this, the swap file will never be fragmented since that partition is only being utilized by the swap file itself. You can configure the swap file size and location from
Control Panel > System > Performance > Virtual Memory. The size of the swap file should be around 2.5 times the amount of RAM on the system.
2. Dummy entries in Add/Remove Programs list
Sometimes, even after program are uninstalled, or due to the files being deleted instead of a uninstalled, the entry in the Add/Remove Programs list does not get deleted. To remove it form the list:
i. Start the Registry Editor.
ii. Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall. iii. Delete the program entry here. You can also use Tweak UI to do this.
3. Restart only Windows
When restarting Windows, you don't always need to go to thought the BIOS initialization and POST. Instead of simple clicking on Restart form the Shut Down Windows dialog box, help down the Shift key as you click on OK. This will restart only Windows. This is particularly useful when you change some registry entries or a few system settings.Improve Removable Disk Drive PerformanceWindows gives you the option to use write-behind caching to improve the performance of removable disk drivers.
*Open control Panel > System > Performance and click on File System.
*Check the Enable write-behind caching on all removable disk drives check box under the removable Disk tab and click OK
Note: If this result in a problem with disk operations, uncheck the Enable write-behind caching on all removable disk drives check box.
4. Speed up your modem
Even if your modem if apparently working well, the baud rate of your COM Port might not allow you to reach top-speed. To improve your port's speed:
*Click Start >Settings > Control Panel > System.
*Click the Device Manager tab, and click on the "+" sign next to Ports (COM & LPT).
*Select the port your modem uses, click Properties, then click the Port settings tab and set the Bits per second to 115200 bps. That way you won't have a sort of filter on the Port.
5. A clean Run!
To remove unwanted items form the Run menu:
*Start the Registry Editor.
*Open HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RunMRU.*Delete the entries that you do not want on Run menu.
*Close the Registry Editor and Restart Windows.
Note: Do not delete the (Default) or MRUList values.
6.Stop your modem from frequently disconnecting
*On the Desk Top Double click on the icon "My Computer"
*Double click on Dial Up Networking
*Right click on the dialer that you are using and select Properties on the menu, click on configure
*Click on the Connection Tab and click on Advanced, in Extra Settings, type ats10=250

Some simple tips and tricks
1. IP address of your connection:
- Go to start--run type 'cmd'
- then type 'ipconfig'
- 'ipconfig/all' switch for more info.
2. How to make your Desktop Icons Transparent
- Go to Control Panel > System, > Advanced > Performance area > Settings button Visual Effects tab "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the Desktop"
3. For a Safer, faster XP Close Unwanted Services
To disable unneeded startup services for a safer, faster XP, use the "Services" Admin Tool (Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services).
If you are a single user of a non-networked machine, you can disable the following items, with no ill effect.
- Alerter
- Clipbook
- Computer Browser
- Human Interface Access Devices
- Indexing Service (Slows the hard drive down)
- Messenger
- Net Logon (unnecessary unless networked on a Domain)
- Netmeeting Remote Desktop Sharing (disabled for extra security)
- Remote Desktop Help Session Manager (disabled for extra security)
- Remote Procedure Call Locator
- Remote Registry (disabled for extra security)
- SSDP Discovery Service (this is for the utterly pointless "Universal P'n'P", & leaves TCP Port 5000 wide open)
- Universal Plug and Play Device Host
- Upload Manager
- Workstation
4. How To Enable Hibernation
Under Windows 98, Me, or 2000 there was an option in the shutdown dialog box to enter the computer into hibernation (where all the content of the RAM is copied to the hard disk). The shutdown dialog box of Windows XP doesn't offer any longer the hibernation button. Some users may get confused about how to enable the hibernation mode. If this mode is supported by your motherboard (ACPI) you have to do the following:
-
Click Start and Shut Down.
-
Point the standby button and maintain the shift key pushed.
A new hibernation button appears: click it while still holding the shift key: voila your PC will hibernate.
