Trick to lock your private folder

Do you worry about privacy or do you maintain some


personal files on the office system or at Friends pc, then you must

lock that folder. I know many software's that most people use to

lock their Personal files. But this trick is the safest and locks

files or folders without use of any software's.

Suppose you want to lock the folder movies in d: which

has the path D:\movies.

In the same drive create a text file and type



ren movies movies.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}



Now save this text file as loc.bat



Create another text file and type in it



ren movies.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} movies



Now save this text file as key.bat

Now you can see 2 batch files loc and key. Press loc and the

folder movies will change to control panel and you cannot view its

contents. Press key and you will get back your original folder.

try it out!!!!!!!

Note: It is safe as in case if you loose the key file, you can

create it again but the folder name must be correct.

Creating a desktop shortcut for locking your computer

If you use your computer in an area where others may

have access to it, and there are things on your system you would

rather have kept confidential, locking your desktop when you leave

the computer is an essential task. Here's a recipe for a desktop

shortcut that will lock your computer in two easy clicks:



Right click on an empty area of the desktop and choose 'new' then

'shortcut.' The create shortcut wizard will open; in the first text

box, type '%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe

user32.dll,LockWorkStation' and then give your shortcut an

appropriate name on the next page, and hit 'finish.'



You will notice that the shortcut you created has a blank icon. To

select a more appropriate one, right click on the shortcut and hit

'properties.' In the 'shortcut' tab, click the 'change icon' button.



In the 'look for icons in this file' box, type

'%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll' then click 'ok' to see a range

of icons for your new shortcut. Choose an appropriate icon. Your

desktop locking shortcut is now ready for use. Test it out.



Note: It is useful if u have an account as it will prompt for a

password.

Create A Hidden User Account in windows XP

For our own privacy purpose or say it for security we


can maintain and Create A Hidden User Account under windows xp

operating system.



This tweak allows an account that is normally displayed on the

Welcome screen to be hidden from view. To log on using the account

it's necessary to use the Log On To Windows dialog box similar to

the one in Windows 2000.

#Registry Key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\

Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList



#Modify/Create the Value Data Type(s) and Value Name(s) as detailed

below.

Account to be Hidden

Create Nameless File or Folder in Windows

This trick will allow you to create files and folders without


any name.

Just follow the following steps:



1. Select any file or folder.

2. Right click on it, press rename or simply press F2.

3. Press and hold the alt key. While holding the Alt key, type

numbers 0160 from the numpad.



Note: Type the numbers 0160 from the numpad, that is, the numbers

present on the right side of the keyboard. Don't type the numbers

which are present on top of the character keys.



4. Press Enter and the nameless file or folder will be created.



Reason: The file or folder that seems nameless is actually named

with a single space.



But what if you want to create another nameless file or folder in

the same directory ?



For this you will have to rename the file with 2 spaces. Just follow

these steps below:



1. Select file, press F2.

2. Hold alt key and type 0160 from the numpad.

3. Release the alt key. Now without doing anything else, again hold

alt key and press 0160.

4. Press enter and you will have second nameless file in the same

directory.

5. Repeat step 3 to create as many nameless files or folders in the

same directory.

Make Undeletable Or Unreadable Folders

By holding down alt, then typing numbers on the number pad (right of


the keyboard) you can create special characters. If you hold down

alt, then press 1, then let go, you got the ascii character 1. You

try some randomn numbers. This goes all the way up to 255. Open a

dos prompt, and type md (alt+1+9+4)someword. md is the dos command

to make a directoy, now try and open the directory in Windows, you

can't. To open it, type ren (alt+1+9+4)someword someword (ren is the

dos command to rename).

Boot your Computer Faster

Some slight changes can do wonders for your system:

1. Press start->run then type msconfig and press enter.

Go to the startup tab. Here you will see a list of startup items.

These are all the programs that automatically start when you boot

your PC. It is these that slow down the boot up process.

So uncheck all the unwanted items

like ms-office, messengers other utilities that u may not need at

startup). Don't uncheck your antivirus software.



Restart your Pc to and see for yourself, your pc will now boot

faster....



2. A great new feature in Microsoft Windows XP is the ability to do

a boot defragment. This places all boot files next to each other on

the disk to allow for faster booting. By default this option is

enabled, but on some systems it is not, so below is the information

on how to turn it on:



Go to Start Menu and Click Run

Type in regedit then click ok

Find "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfrg\BootOpt

imizeFunction"

Select "Enable" from the list on the right

Right on it and select "Modify"

Change the value to Y .

Reboot your Pc and see the change yourself.



3.SPEED UP BOOT BY DISABLING UNUSED PORTS.!!

You may have tried many tweaks like modifying windows XP start-up

applications, prefetches, unload DLLs method, etc. And yes those

methods do work for me.

I have just accidentally found out another way

to give you an extra boost in windows XP's boot performance. This is

done by disabling your unused devices in Device Manager. for

example, if you don't have input devices that are connected to one

of your USB's or COM ports, disabling them will give you an extra

performance boost in booting. Go to Control Panel -> System ->

Hardware tab -> device manager Disable devices that you don't use

for your PC and then restart.
