---->Computer n Internet Tricks Changes for every week

--1.Changing icon size and spacing is handy if you have a desktop cluttered with dozens of icons.
here's how to do this:
1.Right click on the desktop n click on properties
from the context menu.
2.on the appearance tab,look in the item list box for icon.
3.u can choose the size of the icon from the size box.
4.similarly ,select icon spacing(horizontal) and icon spacing(vertical) and choose different values for each.
5.click apply to see how it looks on the desktop,and
click ok once you r satisfied.

--2.Creating a Directory That is Not Accessible From Windows

To create the directory, type md, then a space, then holding down your ALT button type on number pad only 255.
To access cd\ALT+255 from DOS
When you try to access this from the Explorer you get an Access Denied error.

--3.Creating Custom Boot Floppies

If you have custom drivers or files you want to always have when you create boot disks,
copy them to the \Windows\Command\EBD directory.

Then when you want to create a new floppy, run \Windows\Command\Bootdisk.bat

This will format the floppy and copy all the files in the EBD directory.

I like this since I usually add a lot more files than the normal StartUp disk Windows creates.

--4.Deleting the TEMP Directory at Bootup

Normally your TEMP directory can fill with .tmp files, files left over from installs etc.
An easy way to delete it each time you boot is to add the following lines to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

@C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\DelTree /Y C:\WINDOWS\Temp\

--5.Saving File Searches

If you want to review the results of a file search at a later time:

While on the Desktop or with the Explorer, press F3 to start the search
Click Options / Save Results
Do the search
After the search select File / Save Search
An icon will be placed on the desktop with the search results.

--6.Searching for Files In All Drives

If you want to search for files across all drives, including mapped network drives:

Press F3 to start the search
In the Named box, enter file or folder you want to search for
In Look in select My Computer
This will search all drives including mapped network drives. Easier than using the comma's.

--7.Renaming CD ROM Drive Letter

Rename the drive letters of your CD drive(s) from the back of the alphabet, eg, Z, Y. This way, if you add extra hard disks, your CD drives do not get re-lettered.

Note from Bob:

You can do this from the Device Manager.
Open up the CD ROM section
Open the CD ROM you want to change
Under Settings, change the Start Drive Letter to higher in the alphabet.

--8.Changing the Colors of the Blue Screen of Death

You can change the normal colors of the background and text when you get a Blue Screen of Death.

Edit the SYSTEM.INI file in the Windows directory

In the [386Enh] add the entries:

MessageTextColor=X
MessageBackColor=X

Where X is replace by the number for each of the following colors:

Black = 0
Blue = 1
Green = 2
Cyan = 3
Red = 4
Magenta = 5
Yellow/Brown = 6
White = 7
Gray = 8
Bright Blue = 9
Bright Green = A
Bright Cyan = B
Bright Red = C
Bright Magenta = D
Bright Yellow = E
Bright White = F

--9.Powering on the Computer With Your Mouse

If you have ATX Main Board, ATX case Award Bios, or any Bios that supports PS/2 Mouse Power On, then you can power on your computer with a double click.

To activate this feature:

Restart your computer
Then press Del when the BIOS message appears to enter your CMOS configuration
Select Integrated Peripherals from main menu
If PS/2 mouse power on disabled, activate it by press page up/ page down key it will became Double-Click
Press Esc key to exit
Press F10 to save and exit Power off your PC
Now double-click the left mouse button,.. Your PC will turn on

--10.Removing Programs from the Control Panel

Easier way to remove control panel programs.

Edit your control.ini file in your Windows directory.
Under the section [don't load] add the appropriate .cpl file.
For example to get rid of Network add netcpl.cpl=no
This will disable users from accessing the network control panel.

You can remove seected icons in your Control Panel by simply moving, deleting or renaming the *.cpl file in your C:\WINDOWS\SYSETM directory.
The icon or file will still work even if it is not on the control panel screen.

At list of the CPL files can be found in this section at Control Panel CPL Files
