Set User Level Permissions in XP

First u need NTFS file system on ur drive.
Use the command " convert "to change file system to NTFS.
U won't need to format the drive if u use this command.
The syntax is as follows convert drive /fs:ntfsif u need to convert drive d:
the command will be " convert d: /fs:ntfs

"If the volume is in use by the OS, it will ask for a force unmount of the volume.
Allow it. Ur drive will be converted to NTFS either at the same time or after reboot. Then do the following steps.
Open folder options.
Select the View tabnavigate to the last entryThe last entry is " Use simple file sharing "Uncheck it.
Now check the property window of the NTFS drive.
You will find an additional tab called "security".
Now you can set user level permissions on ur drives and folders.
If u check the USE simple file sharing after setting the permissions,nobody will find the trick.
U can restrict the access to ur personal files.
NB: Use the following commands to make ur account more secure1.gpedit.msc -allows u to edit group policies2.secpol.msc -allows u to edit the security policies3.services.msc - allows you to disable unwanted services like "remote registry"U can restrict access even to control panel,command promt and registry if u use group policy editor(gpedit.msc).

Group policy editor is not available in Windows XP home edition.

Increase your broadband speed

To Do this trick ou need fire fox which you can download from this page:(a llink is given on the top corner of this page)

Try this and tell me after words hw's it wrks???

Basically after getting to the hidden config settings you set the browser to request more data that it usually does.

step 1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit enter.
Scroll down and look for the following entries:
network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.

Auto Logon in XP

Save some time by skipping the login screen completely, and coming directly to the desktop.

if you are the administrator of your computer then you can force a user to login without putting in the login details.

For automatically Login to XP just follow these steps.

1. Click Start –> Run, and type “control userpasswords2″

2. You will see a new Window, now in that window, Untick “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer”.

3. Click OK, and the you will see a new window asking you to type in the username and password with default username as Administrator.

4. There you can put in the username you want to specify and put in the login details, click OK, and thats it, you are done with this.

Windows XP Vs Windows 2000

Windows 2000 and Windows XP are essentially the same operating system (known internally as Windows NT 5.0 and Windows NT 5.1, respectively.)

Microsoft has added a host of new features to both versions of Windows XP, but nothing that appears to be absolutely compelling for business users. One of the new features called "Fast User Switching" allows to to run two separate logged in sessions at once. This allows a user to do everyday work such as e-mail using a non-privileged user account, and then run an Administrative session at the same time without rebooting or resorting to the "Run As" command. This also allows you to quickly log onto any users workstation and make administrative changes without logging them off. The remote assistance feature of XP can also help reduce support costs by allowing your Help Desk staff to interact with a user's PC over the network. XP's built in ZIP compression support can also save your company a lot of money in licensing fees if you are currently using a third party utility such as WinZIP.


Windows 2000 benefits:

=> Windows 2000 has lower system requirements, and has a simpler interface (no "Styles" to mess with).
=> Windows 2000 is slightly less expensive, and has no product activation.
=> Windows 2000 has been out for a while, and most of the common problems and security holes have been uncovered and fixed.

Windows XP benefits:

=> Windows XP is somewhat faster than Windows 2000, assuming you have a fast processor and tons of memory (although it will run fine with a 300Mhz Pentium II and 128MB of RAM).

=> The new Windows XP interface is more cheerful and colorful than earlier versions, although the less-cartoony "Classic" interface can still be used if desired.

=> Windows XP has more bells and whistles, such as the Windows Movie Maker, built-in CD writer support, the Internet Connection Firewall, and Remote Desktop Connection.

=> Windows XP has better support for games and comes with more games than Windows 2000.

=> Windows XP is the latest OS - if you don't upgrade now, you'll probably end up migrating to XP eventually anyway, and we mere mortals can only take so many OS upgrades.

=> XP is less prone to crash than its previous versiond and 2000.
