Computer Tips & Tricks

1) Shutdown Button on Desktop

Right click on ur Desktop and create new Shortcut and type “C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\Shutdown.exe –s” without quotes in the popup box which will appear asking for a path of shortcut . Now when u will double click this shortcut it will give u shutdown message and ur computer will shutdown after some seconds. U can customize ur shutdown button with same icon which original shutdown have Just go to the properties of ur shortcut and click change icon tab select any icon u like and click apply.

• Similarly u can also put restart button on ur desktop just replace –s in above line by –r
• If u don’t want shutdown button on ur desktop u can the go to start >run and type
• Shutdown –s or –r they will do the same job. If someone tries to shutdown u remotely on the net then u can stop shutdown process but typing shutdown –a in Run.
• Shutdown –s = Shutdown & restart
• Shutdown –r = Restart
• Shutdown –a = To abort shutdown

2) Cracking windows xp admin and user passwords.
I hope u guys liked tip given for resetting passwords in first part. If u have guest or limited user account on PC than that control userpasswords2 tip does not help u much. Windows will still ask u admin password for resetting users passwords .

Ok go and Download a tool called CIA COMMANDER this is just what we want. This tool will create a copy protected bootable floppy which will allow u to boot any computer and also help u to get into any NTFS partition .First select floppy as first bootable device from BIOS. CIA shows u every thing to u in GUI.

After booting CIA will allow u to reset any user password even administrator’s password. It also includes a file manager, registry editor and a text/hex editor. Present version of CIA does not support FAT partitions but sooner its new version will even support FAT partition based system.

I have read on some tutorials about a tool called NTFS Pro which looks almost like CIA .

3) Correcting System Hang at Startup

• If your system hangs about 2 or 3 minutes at startup, where you can't access the Start
• button or theTaskbar, it may be due to one specific service (Background Intelligent
• Transfer) running in the background. Microsoft put out a patch for this but it didn't
• work for me. Here's what you do
• Click on Start/Run, type 'msconfig', then click 'OK'.
• Go to the 'Services' tab, find the 'Background Intelligent Transfer' service.
• Disable it, apply the changes & reboot.
