#Unload .dll's to Free Memory
Windows Explorer caches DLLs (Dynamic-Link Libraries)
in memory for a period of time after the application
using them has been closed. This can be an inefficient
use of memory.
1. Find the key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorer].
2. Create a new DWORD sub-key named 'AlwaysUnloadDLL'
and set the default value to equal '1' to disable
Windows caching the DLL in memory.
3. Restart Windows for the change to take effect.
********************************************
#Memory Performance Tweak
These Settings will fine tune your systems memory
management -atleast 256MB of ram recccomended
go to startrunregedit -and then to the following key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession
ManagerMemory Management
1.DisablePagingExecutive -double click it and in the
decimal put a 1 - this allows XP to keep data in
memory now instead of paging sections of ram to
harddrive yeilds faster performance.
2.LargeSystemCache- double click it and change the
decimal to 1 -this allows XP Kernal to Run in memory
improves system performance alot
3.create a new dword and name it IOPageLockLimit -
double click it and set the value in hex - 4000 if you
have 128MB of ram or set it to 10000 if you have 256MB
set it to 40000 if you have more than 512MB of ram
-this tweak will speed up your disckcache

#mouse acceleration fix
It seems that even without pointer precision disabled,
the mouse under XP is still influenced by an
acceleration curve. This is especially noticeable in
games. To completely remove mouse acceleration from
XP, you will need to go into the registry and adjust
the SmoothmouseXYCurve values. Here is how its done.
1. Click Start button
2. Select Run
3. Type 'regedit' in the open textbox
4. Open the tree 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER', select control
panel, then select mouse
5. Right clicking, modify the SmoothMouseXCurve and
SmoothMouseYCurve hexidecimal values to the following:
SmoothMouseXCurve:
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
00,a0,00,00,00,00,00,00
00,40,01,00,00,00,00,00

#Customize logon prompt with your own words
This tip won't make your computer any faster but may
help personalize your computer experience. Open
Registry by going to START-RUN and entering REGEDIT
and Navigate to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows
NTCurrentVersionWinlogon]. In right pane, look for
key by the name "LogonPrompt". Set its value to
whatever text you want to see displayed at login
screen.
If you have a faster hard disk, keep your
pagefile.sys
If you do not already know, pagefile.sys is your swap
file. It makes common sense to put it on a hard disk
that is fastest. So say if you have upgraded you
machine and a newer and faster harddisk, change the
pagefile location to that drive. Open registry and
navigating to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSessionManager
MemoryManagement and then looking for Paging files
Change its drive location (on mine its says
C:pagefile.sys) to the one that is faster (say
D:pagefile.sys if D: denotes the faster drive).
Improve Shutdown. Lets not save your active session's
settings on exit
If you Don't care which windows app was located where
when you are shutting down the system, this tip may in
fact help improve the shutdown time a bit (a bit not
too much)..Simply inform windows not to save the
settings at exit time. To do this , open registry by
going to START-RUN and entering regedit. Navigate to
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesExplorer]
. In this look for value of "NoSaveSettings". If
available, do one of the following:
If you want to enable no save on exit, set its value
to 1 else to save on exit. set it back to 0.
Disable use of Win key
I am not sure why you would ever want to do this
except probably if you do not have a windows enabled
keyboard but here is the tip anyway (tip for the sack
of tip !!!!). To disable use of Win key, open registry
by going to START-RUN and entering regedit. Navigate
to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlKeyboard
Layout] . In this look for value of "Scancode Map".
Its binary data so be extra careful:
Set its value to "00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 03 00 00 00
00 00 5B E0 00 00 5C E0 00 00 00 00" to disable the
win key.
Activate Automatic Boot Disk Optimization
To activate automatic boot disk optimization, do
this.Open registry by going to START-RUN and entering
regedit. Navigate to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftDfrgBootOptimizeFunction]
. In this look for value of "Enable". You can set its
value to "Y" to enable it.
Restrict certain users from running an application
You can selectively restrict access to few apps and
file names. To do this, open registry by going to
START-RUN and entering regedit. Navigate to
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersion
PoliciesExplorer] and a sub-key by the name
"DisallowRun". Within this key, add many string keys
you like each mapped to an application or file that
you want to be restricted.
What is Master Bood Record ? How to fix problems with
master boot record
So what is Master Boot Record (MBR)? Master boot
record is the first sector of the disk that is
accessed by you computer BIOS as soon as it boots up.
So what does it mean ? It means that your ability to
boot to a particular operating system depends upon the
correctness of Master Bood Record. If you have ever
installed two or more operating system, your ability
to select an operating system is controlled by master
boot record. Assume if you are not able to boot due to
your dislike of the changes in boot loader process or
corruption in MBR (btw, this could happen for a
variety of reasons, right from virus to your own
experiments with multi boot process.. I have seen this
happening a lot on my PC since I have a dual cpu
system with Mandrake 8.1 on one partition and Windows
XP on another with Mandrake graphical Master Boot Menu
) you have to correct the master boot record.
Assuming you are in Windows XP, you have to put
WINDOWS XP CD in your drive and make it reboot next
time in recovery console.
1. Simplest way to do this would be to would be to
navigate to START-RUN and type D:i386winnt /cmdcons
(D: is the CDROM drive in my computer) and let the
process finish and reboot.
2. Once rebooted, system would prompt you to choose
recovery console and chose it by entering proper menu
id number (by default should be 1). Once console is
loaded do enter this command FIXMBR /device/harddisk0
(where harddisk0 refers to C: drive where WINDOWS XP
is installed by default). This would fix your master
boot record to default XP boot. By the way FIXMBR
command is only available from recovery console
Windows XP Command Line Reference
You would be surprised to know what you can do from
command line of Windows XP Pro. Windows XP Pro comes
equipped with a powerful set of command line
utilities. If you want to know what they are and how
to run them and a good decription of each of them...go
no futher.. Its available right in your computer. This
is again not a tip or trick or tweak of any kind but
information that is as powerful as any of the
tips/tricks.
Open START-RUN window and type
C:WINDOWSHelpntcmds.chm
Also you may not know that .chm is the windows help
file extension. I find the Windows Help to be a very
good starting point to learn all the power and
resources of Windows environment. I like section of
NETSH and Windows scripting host among other things.
You can read most of it in the reference but here I am
doing a cut/paste of the new command line tools.
The following table lists the new Windows XP
Professional command-line tools.
Command Features
bootcfg Configures, queries, or changes Boot.ini file
settings.
defrag Locates and consolidates fragmented boot
files, data files, and folders on local volumes.
diskpart Manages disks, partitions, or volumes.
driverquery Queries for a list of drivers and driver
properties.
eventcreate Enables an administrator to create a
custom event in a specified event log.
eventquery Lists the events and event properties from
one or more event logs.
eventtriggers Displays and configures event triggers
on local or remote machines.
fsutil Manages reparse points, managing sparse files,
dismounting a volume, or extending a volume.
getmac Obtains the media access control (MAC) address
and list of network protocols
helpctr Starts Help and Support Center.
ipseccmd Configures Internet Protocol Security
(IPSec) policies in the directory service, or in a
local or remote registry. Ipseccmd is a command-line
version of the IP Security Policies Microsoft
Management Console (MMC) snap-in.
logman Manages and schedules performance counter and
event trace log collections on local and remote
systems.
openfiles Queries, displays, or disconnects open
files.
pagefileconfig Displays and configures the paging
file Virtual Memory settings of a system.
perfmon Enables you to open a Performance console
configured with settings files from Windows NT 4.0
version of Performance Monitor.
prncnfg Configures or displays configuration
information about a printer.
prndrvr Adds, deletes, and lists printer drivers from
local or remote print servers.
prnjobs Pauses, resumes, cancels, and lists print
jobs.
prnmngr Adds, deletes, and lists printers or printer
connections, in addition to setting and displaying the
default printer.
prnport Creates, deletes, and lists standard TCP/IP
printer ports, in addition to displaying and changing
port configuration.
prnqctl Prints a test page, pauses or resumes a
printer, and clears a printer queue.
relog Extracts performance counters from performance
counter logs into other formats, such as text-TSV (for
tab-delimited text), text-CSV (for comma-delimited
text), binary-BIN, or SQL.
sc Retrieves and sets information about services.
Tests and debugs service programs.
schtasks Schedules commands and programs to run
periodically or at a specific time. Adds and removes
tasks from the schedule, starts and stops tasks on
demand, and displays and changes scheduled tasks.
shutdown Shuts down or restarts a local or remote
computer.
systeminfo Queries the system for basic system
configuration information.
taskkill Ends one or more tasks or processes.
tasklist Displays a list of applications, services,
and the Process ID (PID) currently running on either a
local or a remote computer.
tracerpt Processes event trace logs or real-time data
from instrumented event trace providers and allows you
to generate trace analysis reports and CSV
(comma-delimited) files for the events generated.
typeperf Writes performance counter data to the
command window or to a supported log file format.
WMIC Eases the use of Windows Management
Insturmentation (WMI) and systems managed through WMI.
Modify color selection of default theme.
Again this tip is not a performance tip but may be
liked by those who like customization. Also it may be
useful more once Microsoft provides more themes. Open
registry (by going to START-RUN and entering regedit)
and navigate to
[HKEY_USERS.DEFAULTSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionThemeManager]
and locate the key "ColorName".
Right Click on it and select modify its value from
"NormalColor" to "Metallic"
Click Ok, and exit regedit and restart your computer.
This tip does not do much on my computer but those who
have Microsoft XP Plus Installed might see a
difference. Please provide me your feedback on this
tip.
Turn off Indexing to speed up XP
Windows XP keeps a record of all files on the hard
disk so when you do a search on the hard drive it is
faster. There is a downside to this and because the
computer has to index all files, it will slow down
normal file commands like open, close, etc. If you do
not do a whole lot of searches on your hard drive then
I suggest turnning this feature off:
1. Open my computer
2. Right click your hard drive icon and select
properties.
3. At the bottom of the window you'll see "Allow
indexing service to index this disk for faster
searches," uncheck this and click ok.
4. A new window will pop up and select apply to all
folders and subfolders. It will take a minute or two
for the changes to take affect but then you should
enjoy slightly faster performance
