How to improove Windows XP performance

First, what is the kernel? Well kernel is a piece of code that is considered the "heart" of the operating systems. It's responsible for managing system resources and the basic communication between hardware and software. It translates any functions between the applications and the CPU, main memory and other devices.

Accessing the kernel from the hard disk is usually the default on any operating system. You can set it to automatically load in the system's RAM at the boot and get better performances.



First open the Regedit tool (Start Menu - Run - regedit.exe). By using the icons in the left panel, navigate to HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management (by clicking the + sign near each and expanding it).
In the right panel you can see the values assigned. Double click the DisablePagingExecutive to edit that field and change it to 1. Be sure to make the change in decimal.

This will make all drivers and kernel to run from system's memory.

You can also edit LargeSystemCache value and change it to 1 in decimal. This will improve kernel access time.

Then you can edit IOPageLockLimit field. Change it according to these rules:

- 4000 if you have 128 RAM or less
- 10000 if you have 256 RAM installed
- 40000 for more

This will change the number of bytes for input-output operations and will increase system performance.

2) Boot

To improve boot times edit the following value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\SessionManager\MemoryManagement\PrefetchParamete rs with Regedit like in 1).

Change this value from 3 to 5 in decimal. This will improove boot time with 5 to 20 seconds depending on your system's speed.

3) Shutdown

There are some tweaks that help your computer to shutdown faster.

a) automatically end any task running (Caution: this will disable any confirmations like "Do you want to save document X before closing?")

Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop using Regedit and edit the AutoEndTask key. Set it to 1 in decimal.

make the open applications close faster at shutdown

Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop and set the WaitToKillAppTimeout and HungAppTimeout keys to 1000. Make these two changes in the HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop too.

c) make any service close faster

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l and set the WaiToKillServiceTimeout to 1000.

Finding Phone Videos with Google

You can use the following Google searches to find 3GP files for viewing on some cell phones:

CODE
-inurl:htm -inurl:html -inurl:asp intitle:"index of” 3gp

CODE
filetype:3gp inurl:3gp

CODE

How to download from video sites like youtube easier

http://dlthis.com/ use this link

Some common questions about the Video Grabber:
Q: Why do I get a 403 error and/or a blank page saying "You are not authorized to view this page" when I download some videos from FlickPeek or Peekvid?
A: This is because DailyMotion (where the videos are actually hosted) has taken the videos off of their servers. You need to inform PeekVid or FlickPeek so that they can upload a newer version and update their links.
Q: My favourite site [insertsitehere].com isn't supported. What can I do?
A: You can send the URL of the site and if you want, a specific example link from the site to porkchop009[at]gmail.com.
Q: What do I do with the FLV files after I've downloaded them?
A: You can either view them using a FLV player such as "FLV Player" or "VLC Player", or you can convert the files to another format using "SUPER".
Q: You liar! You said that [sitename] was supported, but I tried a link from [sitename] and it didn't work. What's the deal?
A: Certain sites will change the way they operate, especially if they're a newer site. Just send the link in question to porkchop009[at]gmail.com and I'll try to deal with it.

Where to download codecs?

What is a codec?

Codec (enCOder/DECoder or COmpressor/DECompressor): software (or hardware) that compresses and decompresses audio and video data streams. The purpose of codecs is to reduce the size of digital audio samples and video frames in order to speed up transmission and save storage space. Codecs may also be able to transcode from one digital format to another; for example, from PCM audio to MP3 audio.
