Hello
Friends, It is defined in every system and can do
everything in your system if you go deep in it.Here i am going to
describe top 10 registry tricks or can say hack which i have implemented
on my system and feel very useful for any change and security of your
system.Before keeping hands in registry if your regisrty is disabled
first enable it.
1.Display legal notice on startup:
Wanna
make your friends afraid by displaying about there secrets while
Windows start? Well you can do it pretty easily by displaying a secret
message about him at system start up.
Goto Start–>Run–>Regedit
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system]
"legalnoticecaption"="enter your notice caption"
"legalnoticetext”="enter your message text here"
2.Automatic Administrator Login:
We
all know Windows Xp is not a secured OS as Linux.Well here’s the trick
which you can use to prove that Windows XP is not at all secure as
multi-user operating system. Hacking the system registry from any
account having access to system registry puts you in to the
administrator account.
Goto Start–>Run–>Regedit
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
“AutoAdminLogon”=”1″
3.Remove Shutdown Option:
Wanna play with your friends by removing the shutdown option from start menu in their computer.
Goto Start–>Run–>Regedit
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
“NoClose”=”DWORD:1″
4.Speed Up Menu Display:
When
using the Start menu then you will notice a delay between different
tiers of the menu hierarchy. For the fastest computer experience
possible I recommend changing this value to Zero. This will allow the
difference tiers to appear instantly.

–>Regedit.
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
Select MenuShowDelay from the list on the right.
Right click on it and select Modify.
Change the value to 0.
Reboot your computer.
5.GPEDIT.MSC And Autoplay:
A great tweaking file that comes with XP is gpedit.msc.
- Go to Start -> Run–>gpedit.msc and press enter.
- It is effectively the Policies Editor, and it comes in handy often.
For example, if you hate CD autoplay and want to permanently disable it, you can use this tool to do so.
Just run gpedit.msc, then go to Computer Configuration –> Administrative Templates –> System.
In here you can see the value ‘Turn Off Autoplay’. Right-click on it and then click ‘Properties’.
6.Speeding Up Share Viewing:
Basically, when you connect to another computer with
Windows XP, it checks for any Scheduled tasks on that computer – a
fairly useless task, but one that can add up to 30 seconds of waiting on
the other end – not good! Fortunately, it’s fairly easy to disable this
process.
- First, navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current
Version/Explorer/RemoteComputer/NameSpace in the Registry.
- Below that,
there should be a key called {D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}.
Just delete this, and after a restart, Windows will no longer check for
scheduled tasks – much performance improvement!
7.Increasing options in add/remove programs:
Not
a fan of MSN Messenger? don’t want Windows Media Player on your system?
Fair enough, but if you go to Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel,
by default none of Windows XP’s ‘built in’ programs are visible. it’s
fairly easy to change, though… just open the file
X:\Windows\inf\sysoc.inf (where X: is the drive letter where Windows XP
is installed) in Notepad. You should see a section of the file something
like this:
[Components]
NtComponents=ntoc.dll,NtOcSetupProc,,4
WBEM=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,wbemoc.inf,hide,7
Display=desk.cpl,DisplayOcSetupProc,,7
Fax=fxsocm.dll,FaxOcmSetupProc,fxsocm.inf,,7
NetOC=netoc.dll,NetOcSetupProc,netoc.inf,,7
iis=iis.dll,OcEntry,iis.inf,,7
com=comsetup.dll,OcEntry,comnt5.inf,hide,7
dtc=msdtcstp.dll,OcEntry,dtcnt5.inf,hide,7
IndexSrv_System = setupqry.dll,IndexSrv,setupqry.inf,,7
TerminalServer=TsOc.dll, HydraOc, TsOc.inf,hide,2
msmq=msmqocm.dll,MsmqOcm,msmqocm.inf,,6
ims=imsinsnt.dll,OcEntry,ims.inf,,7
fp_extensions=fp40ext.dll,FrontPage4Extensions,fp40ext.inf,,7
AutoUpdate=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,au.inf,hide,7
msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7
RootAutoUpdate=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,rootau.inf,,7
IEAccess=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,ieaccess.inf,,7
This
is a list of all components installed at the moment. I’ve taken the
example of MSN Messenger – the program entry called ‘msmsgs’, third-last
line. You can see the word ‘hide’ highlighted – this is the string
which tells Windows not to display the component in the Add/Remove
Programs list. Fix this up by simply deleting the word ‘hide’ like so:
msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7
To this:
msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,,7
Now,
after restarting, you should be able to see MSN Messenger in the
Add/Remove Programs list. If you want to be able to quickly view and
remove all components, simply open the sysoc.inf file and do a global
find and replace for the word “,hide” and replace it with a single comma
“,”.
8.Automatically Kill Programs At Shutdown:
Do
you get irrated seeing message boxes telling you that a program is
still running during Shutdown? Making it so that Windows automatically
kills applications running is a snap.
Simply navigate to the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER–>Control Panel–>Desktop directory in the
Registry, then alter the key AutoEndTasks to the value 1.
9.Create a Shortcut to Lock Your Computer
You
can double-click a shortcut on your desktop to quickly lock the
keyboard and display without using CTRL+ALT+DEL or a screen saver.
To create a shortcut on your desktop to lock your computer:
1. Right-click the desktop.
2. Point to New, and then click Shortcut.
3. The Create Shortcut Wizard opens.
4. In the text box, type the following:
rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation
5. Click Next.
6. Enter a name for the shortcut. You can call it “Lock Your Pc” or choose any name you like.
7. Click Finish.
To change the icon:
8. Right click the shortcut and then select Properties.
9. Click the Shortcut tab, and then click the Change Icon button.
10. In the Look for icons in this file text box, type:
Shell32.dll
11. Click OK.
12. Select one of the icons from the list and then click OK.
13.
You could also give it a shortcut keystroke such CTRL+ALT+L. This would
save you only one keystroke from the normal command, but it could be
more convenient.

Pendrive access is restricted in Colleges and Offices due to Virus
Problems.Worms Spread across the Computers in Organisations and causes
