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.

Google Rabbits

Google is one of the biggest search engines on the internet, used by people from all over the world. It has over 8 Billion web pages indexed, along with some extra stuff that with a little searching, you can find almost anything you like, From music,applications,skins,web templates or pretty much anything you are after! Follow the short guide below and you can start getting what you want from google.Viewing Some Sites WebStats

Webalizer usually runs at /webstat/ so a simple search of "Usage Statistics for" will return pages of webstat pages for many different websites, sometimes it is interesting to look at other peoples statistics.

File Directories
I dont know about you, but i like to nose around other peoples webdirectorys, with the search "Index of \files" it gives you a chance to, some interesting things sometimes can be found such as the linux dell files

http://linux.dell.com/files/

On a similar note if you do searches for "Index of \fonts" you can find big directories of fonts to download such as :

http://www.justusnow.com/fonts/

Template Monster Templates
Template Monster is one of the biggest suppliers of paid high quality templates, people who buy them upload the whole folder online, which leaves the psd files, the flash files and the html files there for google to index do the simple search below using brackets.

"with_fl"

You will now have pages apon pages of template monster templates to download and use, although this is illegal and i do not condone it.

Warez Directorys
If people are silly enough to host their warez online then there is a high chance that google has indexed it, doing a simple search such as "Index of \Appz" will return a lot of results, you will need to sith through them to find some, but there are some there such as the second place in the search result

How to mass rename files

When one downloads an album from a torrents or web site, they usually get songs that look something like this:01_this_song_rocks-example_artist.mp3I assume they rename it in this format to make it a little less search-able by anti-piracy groups.If you want your song to look like this:01 This Song Rocks - Example Artist.mp3 This program (freeware, made by Denis Kozlov) is a great mass renamer which allows you to add "rules" which removes, replaces, makes uppercase, etc. all the files in a folder you choose and then rename them.

1. Add a new rule. 2. Set the rule to Replace. 3. In the Find: field, type in _ 4.In the Replace: field, you should obviously type a space. 5. Click Add Rule. The results will appear on the right side of the bottom right box. 6. If you like the results, click Rename in the upper right corner or the window.

* The "-" symbol should have spacing before and after to show a change in description (Ex. from Title of Song-Author to Title of Song - Author).

1. Add a new rule.2. Set the rule to Replace.3. Inf the Find: field, type in -4. In the Replace: field, type in a - but with a space before and after.5. Click Add Rule. The results will appear on the right side of the bottom right box.6. If you like the results, click Rename in the upper right corner or the window.

* If all song titles and authors are in lowercase, you can make all the first letters of the words uppercase with the Case rule.

1. Add a new rule.2. Set the rule to Case. (I recommend setting the capitolization Capitolize Every Word. Is set by default I believe.)

*Tip*If you really want to get in-depth on what words capitolize you can add fragments: Depending on what you enter in the fragment box, the program will capitolize every word except for the ones you typed into the fragment field. This is helpful for preventing words like "the", "is", "and" etc. from becoming uppercase.

4. If you added fragments, check the Force Case for fragments checkbox.5. Click Add Rule. The results will appear on the right side of the bottom right box.6. If you like the results, click Rename in the upper right corner or the window.

How to download from video sites like youtube easier

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.

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.

Some popular codecs

VIDEO CODECS

FFDShow MPEG-4
DivX 6.4
Koepi's XviD Codec
DivX Free
DScaler MPEG Filters
OggDS / OGM Codec
Nic's XviD Codec

Write DVDs @18X speed

PC hard drives have rapidly abandoned Parallel ATA for the benefits -- thinner data cables for improved cable routing and airflow, and no more messing with master/slave jumper settings -- of the Serial ATA interface.

Priced at $90, the internal drive also serves as a 48/32/48X CD-RW drive and records DVD-RAM media -- which supports 100,000 rewrites to DVD+RW and DVD-RW's limit of 1,000 -- at 12X speed. Speed Adjustment Technology matches drive speed to the functionality of the disc, while Double Optimum Power Control balances the laser power on the sides of the disc for better writing perfomance and a Weight Balancing System maximizes performance and lowers noise when recording or reading at top speeds.

10 Things You Need to Know About Intel's Core 2 Duo

1. Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Extreme will be the fastest processors available. Faster than the Pentium EE, thanks to new techniques like Smart Cache and Wide Dynamic Execution—and, according to preliminary results, faster than the AMD FX62.

2. Core 2 Duo overtakes the Pentium as the name in processors. Farewell Pentium: There will never be a Pentium 5, 6, or XX. A brief moment of silence, please.

3. For the first time, Intel has specifically created one unified Core architecture for all categories: Conroe (desktops), Merom (notebooks), and Woodcrest (workstation/servers).nroe, Merom, and Woodcrest) will provide more computing power and use less energy.

6. Core 2 Duo is, for now, engineered to drop right into some current Pentium D/EE (LGA775) motherboards (with some BIOS/Firmware updates).

7. Multitasking moves to the next level. With Core 2 Duo's virtualization technology, you can turn one physical PC into several virtual systems, all running different applications and OSs.

8. Today, only business PCs have the TPM 1.2 protection chip built in. With Core 2 Duo, all PCs will be protected. TPM (Trusted Platform Module) protects your passwords, logons, and personal data at a hardware level from hackers, spyware, and identity thieves.

9. About the lame code-naming convention: Conroe, Merom, and Woodcrest don't exactly call to mind "speed" or "kickin' performance." Intel's desktop and workstation CPU design offices are in Oregon, California, and Texas, so it makes sense that the towns of Conroe (Texas) and Woodcrest (California) are represented in Intel's code names.

10. When can you get one? Intel wants its Core 2 Duo processors in systems within a few weeks of the official launch, which rumor mills have as the last week of July. Look for systems in early August.
