Slightly more work needed if you lose or forget the Windows XP administrator password.

1.First reboot Windows XP in safe mode by re-starting the computer and pressing F8 repeated as the computer starts up.

2.Then (in safe mode) click Start and then click Run. In the open box type "control userpasswords2" without the quotes - I have just used quotes to differentiate what you have to type.

3.You will now have access to all the user accounts, including the administrators account and will be able to reset the lost password.



4.Just click the administrators user account, and then click Reset Password.

5.You will need to add a new password in the New password and the Confirm new password boxes, and confirm by clicking OK.


All done, you have recovered the lost administrators password!

Faster and more powerful Internet searching then ever before

Posted by Pradeep Kumar Monday, March 29, 2010 0 comments

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
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchUrl\g]@=”http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%s&num=100″
” “=”+”
“#”=”%23″
“&”=”%26″
“?”=”%3F”
“+”=”%2B”
“=”=”%3D”
Copy and paste into notepad, save as “search.reg”, right click - merge

Better Easy IP Check

Posted by Pradeep Kumar Saturday, March 27, 2010 0 comments

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.)

I always wanted to change the text of my Start Button ever since I have been using the Windows operating System. It has always been the most difficult of tasks to accomplish with very risky and lengthy activities involving alteration of Windows registry. In fact I could never find of any way to change the Start button text without actually altering the registry values. (If you know of one please let me know so that it can be posted here for others to know, also please let me know if there is a software that does it automatically)
Well the simplest and the least time consuming way of changing the Start button text is described below:
Step1:
You would need to download a small freeware utility called Resource Hacker
Click here to download Resource Hacker
Step2:
Open Resource Hacker utility. Click on File —> Open. Type “explorer.exe” in the text box.
Step3:Expand String Table —> 37 from the tree view and click on 1033 …………

Step 4:From the right window next to where start is written in front of 578 edit the text to what you want on your start button.
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:
Step 7: Restart your computer to see the changes.

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.
