I hate the annoying message "are you sure?"

Although not strictly a performance tweak I love this fix as it makes my machine ‘feel’ faster. I hate the annoying ‘are you sure?’ messages that XP displays, especially if I have to use a laptop touchpad to close them. To remove these messages:

1. Right-click on the ‘Recycle Bin’ on the desktop and then click ‘Properties’ 2. Clear the ‘Display Delete Confirmation Dialog’ check box and click ‘Ok’If you do accidently delete a file don’t worry as all is not lost. Just go to your Recycle Bin and ‘Restore’ the file.

Speed up your Mozilla and Netscape :

If you don’t have Firefox you can get it here: http://www.mozilla.com

1. Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries: A: network.http.pipelining
B:network.http.proxy.pipelining
C:network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.
2. Alter the entries as follows: Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true” Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true” Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to some number like 36. This means it will make 36 requests at once.
3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0″. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recive’s. If you’re using a broadband connection you’ll load pages 2-25 times faster now.

Hibernate your computer to save the start up time

Hibernate your computer to save the start up time

Hibernate for faster start:-

If you turn-down computer when you’re not working on it, you will save the energy, but not the time. If you don’t want to wait until computer turns on, log on, … than you can use Hibernate function. However, you can’t “sleep” all computer like that. Windows 9x with Fat32, for example, can’t hibernate.

How you can tell if your system can hibernate?

In Windows 2000 or Windows XP, login like administrator. In Internet explorer, or in any directory, in Address field, type “control panelpower options” and click Enter. If you see Hibernate card, in dialog box, great. Open that card and see “Disk space for hibernation”. See if your computer fits that condicions. Check “Enable hibernation” and be shore there is no error message.
Next time when you chose “Start-Shutdown” (Windows 98, ME and 2000), chose Hibernate option and go OK. In WindowsXP, chose “Start-Turn Off Computer” and click Shift to turn “Stand By” button to “Hibernate” button.

Thanks,

Automatically Scheduling Window XP to dial BSNL

Its really easy please read completely its worth don't think its too long.

You can schedule Window XP to automatically dial the BSNL connection for you at 0200 Hrs at Night, so you wont have to get up to dial the connection, as I noticed since I switched to Plan500 recently.
Now just leave the CPU running, switch off your Screen, Change Power settings accordingly, that the PC does not goto Standby mode.


Use the following Steps to perform the task:
I assume my Username to be shaviz and password to be patiala.

1. Create a connection to BSNL broadband as usual, by Create a New Connection>>Connect to the Internet>>Set up my connection manually>>Connect using a broadband connection that requires a username and password. Name the ISP name as BSNL. Use a small single name please.

2. Making sure that the connection is setup and is working fine, proceed to the next step.

3. Click on Start>>Control Panel>>Scheduled Tasks>>Add Scheduled Task. Click Next to continue.

4. Click Browse button to open the Select Program to schedule dialog. Browse to c:\windows\system32\rasdial.exe, assuming that your Window is installed in C:\. Click Open to continue.

5. Now select this task to be performed on Daily basis. Now click Next to continue.

6. Now select the Start time to suit your choice. I use 02:05 Hrs. Also set the Perform this task to be done Every day. Leave the Start Date as it is and click on Next button to continue.

7. Select the Username and Password for the account you want to run the connection as. I found some difficulties here, because the Task Scheduler did give some errors when I did not had any password on my account. So I recommend that you setup a Password to your Window User account, otherwise you might face some difficulties. After entering the Window Username & Password, click Next to continue.


8. Now Click the Open advanced properties for this task when I click Finish. Now proceed to the last Step.

9. A new dialog box will open. Here you will see many Tabs. In the Task tab, There is a line in Run box where something like this is written C:\WINDOWS\system32\rasdial.exe. We have to add the connection name, username & password here for this command to function. So, my connection name is BSNL, Username is shaviz and password is patiala, as I assumed above, my modified command will be C:\WINDOWS\system32\rasdial.exe BSNL shaviz patiala.

10. Now click the Settings tab. In the Power Management Section, Enable the Wake the computer to run this task, and click OK.

I just thought to share my experiences with you people. I usually download from Torrents. I just schedule the PC to dial BSNL connection automatically, Disconnect the BSNL connection, Start the Torrent software/Client, Switch off the PC Screen, and goto Sleep myself! The PC dials the connection automatically, and the Torrents start to download.

Enjoy!!!


For Dis Connect:-


Now follow these steps.
1..8 Same as above, with just the name for the Task changed, as prompted by the wizard. Just change the time at which the task starts!

9. A new dialog box will open. Here you will see many Tabs. In the Task tab, There is a line in Run box where something like this is written C:\WINDOWS\system32\rasdial.exe. Now assuming the same that your connection is named BSNL, the new modified command would be C:\WINDOWS\system32\rasdial.exe bsnl /disconnect

Enjoy!
