Windows utile XP si capovolge, Tweaks, Walkthroughs e scorciatoie.

1. Uptime totale

Si vanta quanto tempo può rimanere in su. Vada al richiamo di ordine nel menu degli accessori da tutta l'opzione del pulsante di avvio di programmi ed allora scriva “lo systeminfo a macchina„. Il calcolatore produrrà l'Info utile molto, compreso il uptime. Se desiderate mantenere questi, scriva 'lo systeminfo a macchina > info.txt '. Ciò genera una lima denominata info.txt che potete guardare più successivamente con il Notepad.

2. La cancellazione archivia immediatamente

Potete cancellare immediatamente le lime, senza farle muoverti verso lo scomparto di riciclaggio in primo luogo. Vada al menu di inizio, funzionamento prescelto… e tipo “gpedit.msc„; allora selezioni la configurazione dell'utente, le mascherine amministrative, i componenti di Windows, esploratore di Windows e trovi non spostano le lime cancellate verso la regolazione dello scomparto di riciclaggio. Regolilo. Il colpo intorno nel gpedit rivelerà un grande molti connette ed opzioni del sistema, ma ciao -- alcuni possono arrestare il vostro calcolatore che si comporta come desiderate.

3. Blocchi XP

Potete bloccare la vostra stazione di lavoro di XP con due scatti del mouse. Generi una nuova scorciatoia sul vostro tavolo usando un giusto scatto del mouse ed entri “in rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation„ nel campo di posizione. Dia alla scorciatoia un nome che gradite. Quello è esso -- doppi giusti lo scattano sopra ed il vostro calcolatore sarà locked. E se quello non è abbastanza facile, la chiave di Windows + la L faranno lo stesso.

4. Rimuova il software di sistema

XP nasconde un certo software che di sistema potreste desiderare per rimuovere, quale il messaggero di Windows, ma potete rendergli l'esposizione tutto. Usando il Notepad o pubblichi, pubblichi la lima di testo /windows/inf/sysoc.inf, ricerca della parola “pellame„ e rimuovala. Potete allora andare alla aggiunta o rimuovere i programmi nel pannello di controllo, prescelto aggiunga/rimuova i componenti di Windows e ci sarà il software ed ora potete uninstall esso.

5. Nuovi ordini interessanti

Per gli uomini del mestiere dei file sequenziali del DOS, XP ha un certo numero di nuovi ordini interessanti. Questi includono “il eventcreate„ e “i eventtriggers„ per gli eventi di generazione e guardanti del sistema, “typeperf„ per il controllo delle prestazioni di vari sottosistemi e “schtasks„ per il maneggiamento delle mansioni previste. Come di consueto, scrivendo da a macchina seguito nome/? di ordine darà una lista delle opzioni.

6. Supporto di versione 6 del IP

XP has IP version 6 support -- the next generation of IP. Unfortunately this is more than your ISP has, so you can only experiment with this on your LAN. Type 'ipv6 install' into Run... (it's OK, it won't ruin your existing network setup) and then 'ipv6 /?' at the command line to find out more. If you don't know what IPv6 is, don't worry.

7. Task Termination

You can at last get rid of tasks on the computer from the command line by using 'taskkill /pid' and the task number, or just 'tskill' and the process number. Find that out by typing 'tasklist', which will also tell you a lot about what's going on in your system.

8. ZIP Files as Folders

XP will treat Zip files like folders, which is nice if you've got a fast machine. On slower machines, you can make XP leave zip files alone by typing 'regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll' at the command line. If you change your mind later, you can change things back by typing 'regsvr32 zipfldr.dll'.

9. XP Has ClearType

XP has ClearType -- Microsoft's anti-aliasing font display technology -- but doesn't have it enabled by default. It's well worth trying, especially if you were there for DOS and all those years of staring at a screen have given you the eyes of an astigmatic bat. To enable ClearType, right click on the desktop, select Properties, Appearance, Effects, select ClearType from the second drop-down menu and enable the selection. Expect best results on laptop displays. If you want to use ClearType on the Welcome login screen as well, set the registry entry HKEY_USERS/.DEFAULT/Control Panel/Desktop/FontSmoothingType to 2.

10. Remote Assistance:

You can use Remote Assistance to help a friend who's using network address translation (NAT) on a home network, but not automatically. Get your pal to email you a Remote Assistance invitation and edit the file. Under the RCTICKET attribute will be a NAT IP address, like 192.168.1.10. Replace this with your friend's real IP address -- they can find this out by going to www.whatismyip.com -- and get them to make sure that they've got port 3389 open on their firewall and forwarded to the errant computer.

11. User Task Management

You can run a program as a different user without logging out and back in again. Right click the icon, select Run As... and enter the user name and password you want to use. This only applies for that run. The trick is particularly useful if you need to have administrative permissions to install a program, which many require. Note that you can have some fun by running programs multiple times on the same system as different users, but this can have unforeseen effects.

12. Disable Default Notifications

Windows XP can be very insistent about you checking for auto updates, registering a Passport, using Windows Messenger and so on. After a while, the nagging goes away, but if you feel you might go insane before that point, run Regedit, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Explorer/Advanced and create a DWORD value called EnableBalloonTips with a value of 0.

13. Faster Startup

You can start up without needing to enter a user name or password. Select Run... from the start menu and type 'control userpasswords2', which will open the user accounts application. On the Users tab, clear the box for Users Must Enter A User Name And Password To Use This Computer, and click on OK. An Automatically Log On dialog box will appear; enter the user name and password for the account you want to use.

14. Delete Temp Internet Files Automatically

Internet Explorer 6 will automatically delete temporary files, but only if you tell it to. Start the browser, select Tools / Internet Options... and Advanced, go down to the Security area and check the box to Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed.

15. Network Activity Light

XP comes with a free Network Activity Light, just in case you can't see the LEDs twinkle on your network card. Right click on My Network Places on the desktop, then select Properties. Right click on the description for your LAN or dial-up connection, select Properties, then check the Show icon in notification area when connected box. You'll now see a tiny network icon on the right of your task bar that glimmers nicely during network traffic.

16. Speed-Up Your Start Menu

The Start Menu can be leisurely when it decides to appear, but you can speed things along by changing the registry entry HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Desktop/MenuShowDelay from the default 400 to something a little snappier. Like 0.

17. Batch Rename Files

You can rename loads of files at once in Windows Explorer. Highlight a set of files in a window, then right click on one and rename it. All the other files will be renamed to that name, with individual numbers in brackets to distinguish them. Also, in a folder you can arrange icons in alphabetised groups by View, Arrange Icon By... Show In Groups.

18. Album Cover Arts

Windows Media Player will display the cover art for albums as it plays the tracks -- if it found the picture on the Internet when you copied the tracks from the CD. If it didn't, or if you have lots of pre-WMP music files, you can put your own copy of the cover art in the same directory as the tracks. Just call it folder.jpg and Windows Media Player will pick it up and display it.

19. Handy Shortcut Keys

Windows key + Break brings up the System Properties dialogue box; Windows key + D brings up the desktop; Windows key + Tab moves through the taskbar buttons.

20. Windows File Protection

Windows XP secretly knows that the average user has no idea what they are doing. Therefore, it doesn't let you do really stupid things like deleting the windows directory (at least not without spending several hours convincing it that you really want to do this).

If you enjoyed it, please drop a word of appreciation. Thanks
