hide inactive icons box to gain a bit more space.
When you click on Start and open My Computer,
you have to right-click on a drive and then click
Explore to get the “Explore” view of that drive. If you
simply double-click on that drive, you get the drive’s
contents. The Explore view is better because you can
work with folders in the left pane and folder contents
in the right pane.
To have My Computer open the contents of a drive in
the Explore view, from within My Computer click on
Tools and then on Folder Options. Open the File Types
tab and then click on (NONE) Folder, to highlight it.
Now click on the Advanced button, make sure Explore
is highlighted, and then click the Set Default button.
Click OK, and then click Close.
Now when you open a drive in My Computer it will
display in the Explore mode.
Your my documents folder in windows XP holds,
by default, your documents, the My Pictures folder
and the My Music folder. For most of us, the My
Documents folder holds everything you use most.
To make the contents of that folder invisible to nosy
folks, do this: Click on Start and right-click on My
Documents. Now click on Properties, and then open
the General tab. Click in the box next to Hidden in the
attributes section and click ok. Now click on Apply,
Select “Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and
les,” and click ok.
This is not encryption, it just makes it harder for a
casual user to open your private folders. When you
want to view all les again, just reverse the process.
Speeding up your PC is always something most of
us think about and the following tweaks are intended
to do just that for your XP Pro operating system, but
beware, these are intended for advanced users and
involve using the registry…not recommended for the
faint at heart! Before even considering them, do a
registry backup- Here’s how:
Modication of Windows Registry les, which contain
settings and other information Windows needs to
operate with is risky if you don’t take care. Make a
mistake here can cause your PC to stop working. So
it makes perfect sense to make a back-up copy of your
registry les before you attempt any modications.
Create a batch le to back up your Registry, and then
automate the process with an icon on your Desktop.
Click on Start, Run, and then type NOTEPAD. Click
OK or press the Enter key. Now you have Notepad
open to a blank page. Type “Regedit /E C:\AAAA”
(without the quotes) and press the Enter key. Now
click on File on the menu bar at the top of the Notepad
window, and then click on Save As. In the Save As
window, click in the box next to File Name: and type
c:\windows\system32\REGBACKUP.BAT. Now click
on the down arrow to the right of the Save as type:
box and select All Files. Click on the Save button, and
close Notepad. To create a shortcut to the registry
backup, right-click on the Desktop, click on New and
then on Shortcut. At the cursor type c:\WINDOWS\
SYSTEM32\REGBACKUP.BAT and click on Next.
Now type: Registry Backup and click on Finish.
If you want to change the icon for your new shortcut,
right- click on it and click Preferences. Click on the
Change Icon button, click Ok when the Change Icon
window opens, and then double-click on the icon you
want to use. Click OK
Another way to be sure you are safe is to backup
your complete computer using either True Image (my
favorite) or Ghost…both of which completely copy
an image of your entire computer. Also, do a system
restore point (see the help menu for how to) this may
be the quickest way to go back to where you were
if you have problems, but if not, the True Image or
Ghost backup will do the trick.
