Creating a desktop shortcut for locking your comp!

No Comment - Post a comment

 

If you use your computer in an area where others may have access to it, and there are things on your system you would rather have kept confidential, locking your desktop when you leave the computer is an essential task. Here's a recipe for a desktop shortcut that will lock your computer in two easy clicks:

Right click on an empty area of the desktop and choose 'new' then 'shortcut.' The create shortcut wizard will open; in the first text box, type '%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation' and then give your shortcut an appropriate name on the next page, and hit 'finish.'

You will notice that the shortcut you created has a blank icon. To select a more appropriate one, right click on the shortcut and hit 'properties.' In the 'shortcut' tab, click the 'change icon' button.

In the 'look for icons in this file' box, type '%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll' then click 'ok' to see a range of icons for your new shortcut. Choose an appropriate icon. Your desktop locking shortcut is now ready for use. Test it out.

No Comment - Post a comment

Suppose Folder Options (windows xp & other windows) that we get for every folder in the menu bar menu Tools is missing (some one has disabled it) and you want to change any setting in folder option, then here is a trick to get back the missing folder options tool.Go to Startmenu->Run and enter regedit there and press ok to execute regedit (registry editor). There you'll see a tree like structure of folders like stuff in left. There navigate to registry entry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
and on right side you'll see many values.

Out of these values in right see a value (key) named "NoFolderOptions" .Double click after highlighting it, if there under value box it's written 1 then change it to 0 and press enter. Exit the registry editor and close any folder and open again to see the settings.If you want to disable Folder Options then set the value of "NoFolderOptions" to 1 (and to retrieve it back change it to 0).

Navigate to Start menu->Run, and here in Run window type regedit.exe and press ok to open registry editor.

Here we need to do registry editing. On left pane difefrent registry hives are present and on right diffrent registry keys and their coresponding values appear.On left pane go to the entry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System by first double clicking HKEY_CURRENT_USER and then under it double clicking Software and so on till you reach System. There in right see a lot of keys and values.

In that right pane right click and click New->DWORD Value to create a new registry variable(key) and assign coresponding values. Now right click that new value (that we created now) and modify it's name to DisableTaskMgr.

Now what value to give to the registry key named DisableTaskMgr.If you want to disable taskmanager assign 1 as value to key DisableTaskMgr. If again you want to enable the taskmanager you have to assign 0 as value to the key DisableTaskMgr that you created to disable it.

1. First, open the Windows Registry using Regedit, and navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\ServiceProvider

2. Note the following lines (all hex dwords):
Class = 008
LocalPriority = 1f3 (499) - local names cache
HostsPriority = 1f4 (500) - the HOSTS file
DnsPriority = 7d0 (2000) - DNS
NetbtPriority = 7d1 (2001) - NetBT name-resolution, including WINS


3. What we're aiming to do is increase the priority of the last 4 settings, while keeping their order. The valid range is from -32768 to +32767 and lower numbers mean higher priority compared to other services. What we're aiming at is lower numbers without going to extremes, something like what's shown below should work well:

4. Change the "Priority" lines to:
LocalPriority = 005 (5) - local names cache
HostsPriority = 006 (6) - the HOSTS file
DnsPriority = 007 (7) - DNS
NetbtPriority = 008 - NetBT name-resolution, including WINS

5. Reboot for changes to take effect...

We always use shortcuts. One important shortcut is winkey+E. It is used to open My computer . This will open My computer in explorer view. Some times explorer view is boring. One solution is given below.
Open regedit.exe
go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\Shell\explore\ddeexee
change [ExplorerFolder("%1,%I,%S)] to [ViewFolder("%1,%I,%S)]
