1. Get TweakUI for WindowsXP
2. Start -> Programs -> Powertoys for Windows XP -> TweakUI for Windows XP
3. Click the ‘+’ next to ‘Internet Explorer’
4. Hightlight ‘Search’
5. In the right plane click on the ‘Create’ button.
6. For the Prefix, type in ‘Google’ or if you’re REALLY lazy (like me) then just ‘g’
7. for the URL, enter: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%s&num=100
The ‘hl’ is language, the ‘q’ is the query, and the ‘num’ is the number of results per page. To search for multiple keywords at a time, use the format ‘google monkey+cars’ or just ‘g monkey+cars’ depending how you chose to set it up.
If you use another search engine, then you must have never tried Google
Here are some reasons to help sway you: http://www.google.com/technology/whyuse.html
It has no graphics to load, no popups, no graphical ads, and codes your search terms in bold to prove the pages it lists have all you wanted.
And if that didn’t work, try installing a BSD or *nix type OS, and finding solutions to cryptic error messages using any other search engine.
On request for advanced users only. If you don’t want to use TweakUi, use this registry file or make the according changes manually.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

Copy and paste into notepad, save as “search.reg”, right click - merge
1.Select “Internet
2.Select the “Content” tab at the top of the “Internet Options” window.
3.In the “Personal information” section at the bottom, click the “AutoComplete” button.

Note: This is confirmed for use with Internet Explorer, but not MSN Explorer
Use this if you just want to display your IP address and not the extra information (default gateway / subnet mask)
Simply copy and paste the following into notepad
@echo.
@ipconfig find “IP Address”
@echo.
@pause
And save as IP.BAT (save to your windows dir if you want to be able to access it anywhere)
Now when you type IP you will see:
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : x.x.x.x
Press any key to continue . . .—————————
(information about the code:
@echo. produces a blank line,
@ipconfig find “IP Address” causes the output of ipconfig to be piped to the find command, which looks for the line containing “IP Address”, find then outputs your IP address,
@pause causes the terminal to wait for user input before continuing.
The @ before each command tells the terminal not to echo the command being typed.)
Well the simplest and the least time consuming way of changing the Start button text is described below:

Step 5:Click on the “Compile Script” button on top of the right window. Now click on File —> Save as —->PARAS.exe ………………
Step 6: Open registry editor by clicking on Start —> Run and typing “regedit” at the text box. Navigate to HKEY_Local_Machine -> Software -> Microsoft -> Windows NT -> CurrentVersion -> Winlogon……………..
From the right pane double click on shell and replace “explorer.exe” with “PARAS.exe” and then exit registry editor:

This tip will enable you to create buttons in your quick launch toolbar to quickly and easily shut down and/or restart your computer.
1.Right click on your desktop, scroll to new….. shortcut
2.In the location line, for shutdown type; shutdown -s -t 0 ie: shutdown(space)-s(space)-t(space)number zero
3.Name the shortcut “Shut Down PC” or whatever u want
4.The new shortcut is now sitting on your desktop, right click on it and go to properties, then click on “change icon”. Click OK, then pick a suitable icon, there is a red “off button” icon available, then click apply and ok.
5.Now drag the icon from your desktop into the quick launch toolbar, resize the toolbar so all the buttons are visible, then delete the shortcut from your desktop
To create a restart button the location line should read shutdown -r -t 0 name it restart pc and give it a suitable icon for restart
Now you can shut down or restart your pc in 1 mouse click without having to go through the startup menu.
It is possible to disable XP splash screen, which will slightly speed up the overall boot process. Be aware that removing the splash screen will also cause you not to see any boot-up messages that might come up (chkdsk, convert … ), but if your system runs without any problems then it should not matter.
1. Edit boot.ini
2. Add ” /noguiboot” right after “/fastdetect”.
(or check the /noguiboot switch in msconfig on the boot.ini tab)
Upon restarting, the splash screen will be gone. It can be re-enabled by removing the new switch.
Open a Command Prompt window and leave it open.
Close all open programs.
Click Start > Run and enter TASKMGR.EXE .
Go to the Processes tab and End Process on Explorer.exe.
Leave Task Manager open. Go back to the Command Prompt window and change to the directory the AVI (or other undeletable file) is located in. At the command prompt type DEL where is the file you wish to delete. Go back to Task Manager, click File, New Task and enter EXPLORER.EXE to restart the GUI shell. Close Task Manager.
