SPEEDUP FOLDER ACCESS - DISABLE LAST ACCESS UPDATE

If you have a lot of folders and subdirectories on your computer, when you access a directory XP wastes a lot of time updating the time stamp showing the last access time for that directory and for ALL sub directories. To stop XP doing this you need to edit the registry. If you are uncomfortable doing this then please do not attempt.

Go to Start and then Run and type "regedit"
Click through the file system until you get to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contr ol\FileSystem"
Right-click in a blank area of the window on the right and select 'DWORD Value'
Create a new DWORD Value called 'NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate'
Then Right click on the new value and select 'Modify'
Change the Value Data to '1'
Click 'OK'

SPEEDUP FOLDER BROWSING

You may have noticed that everytime you open my computer to browse folders that there is a slight delay. This is because Windows XP automatically searches for network files and printers everytime you open Windows Explorer. To fix this and to increase browsing significantly:

1. Open My Computer
2. Click on Tools menu
3. Click on Folder Options
4. Click on the View tab.
5. Uncheck the Automatically search for network folders and printers check box
6. Click Apply
7. Click Ok
8. Reboot your computer

IMPROVE XP SHUTDOWN SPEED

This tweak reduces the time XP waits before automatically closing any running programs when you give it the command to shutdown.

Go to Start then select Run
Type 'Regedit' and click ok
Find 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\'
Select 'WaitToKillAppTimeout'
Right click and select 'Modify'
Change the value to '1000'
Click 'OK'
Now select 'HungAppTimeout'
Right click and select 'Modify'
Change the value to '1000'
Click 'OK'
Now find 'HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop'
Select 'WaitToKillAppTimeout'
Right click and select 'Modify'
Change the value to '1000'
Click 'OK'

Now find 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\'
Select 'WaitToKillServiceTimeout'
Right click and select 'Modify'
Change the value to '1000'
Click 'OK'

N73 Copy & Paste

I've had this phone for over a year now and have, to my shame, only just figured out how to copy and paste.  I had an inkling it could do it because there's an option in your call log to "Use Number" where one of the sub-menu options is "Copy"; which just made it more frustrating that I couldn't figure out how to paste!!

Anyway, it turns out to be an amazingly simple mechanism using the edit key (the one on the bottom left with the pencil icon on it - I knew it had to have some purpose!!). Thanks to some person called Walker for his generic guide to Symbian Series 60 functionality.

Copy: To copy text to the clipboard, hold the pencil/edit key until Copy appears on the screen above the right soft-key and scroll using the joystick to select the text. When you've selected the text to copy, just hit Copy.

Paste: To paste text from the clipboard, move the cursor to where you want to paste and hold the pencil key until Paste appears on the screen by your right soft key. When it appears and then press the right soft key to paste.

Change TCP/IP using command line

This is very helpful for the people they connecting their laptop to their different office. Those office having different TCP/IP setting.

Ex.

Office 1 using static ip address

Office 2 using dynamic ip address.

 

Soln

Create a batchfile for office 1

C:\ip\Office1.bat

netsh interface ip set address name="Wireless Network Connection" static 172.18.11.100 255.255.248.0 172.18.8.1 1

netsh interface ip add dns "Wireless Network Connection" 172.18.9.1

netsh interface ip add dns "Wireless Network Connection" 172.18.9.2

 

Create a batchfile for office 2

C:\ip\Office2.bat

netsh interface ip set address "Wireless Network Connection" dhcp

netsh interface ip set dns "Wireless Network Connection" dhcp

 

right click on cmd.exe run as Administrator

go to c:\ip

execute whichever you want.

Or u can right click on your batch file run as administrator.

 

Similary you can add other details for your TCP/IP connection

For Dns

netsh interface ip set dns "Local Area Connection" static 192.168.0.10

For WINS

netsh interface ip set wins "Local Area Connection" static 192.168.0.10

I hope this is very useful for the people those who are swapping different TCP/IP settings for the connection 

Note : instead of  "Local Area Connection"  or "Wireless Network Connection" change your Network connection name
