Double Clicking Drive but its Not opening..!!

Sometimes it happens in windows XP that you are not able to open drives on your hard disk. When you double clicking on the drives icons or right click on the drive>>explore in My computer ,the drive does not open.

This problem is generally caused by most of the viruses which infect windows XP system.

Fix:

Normally when a virus infects a windows system which causes a drive opening problem, it automatically creates a file named autorun.inf in the root directory of each drive.

This autorun.inf file is a read only ,hidden and a system file and the folder option is also disabled by the virus. This is deliberately done by the virus in order to protect itself.  autorun.inf initiates all the activities that the virus performs when you try to open any drive.

1. Open Start>>Run and type cmd and press enter. This will open a command prompt window. On this command prompt window type the following steps.

2. type cd\

3. type attrib -r -h -s autorun.inf

4. type del autorun.inf

5. now type e: and press enter for e: drive partition. Now repeat steps 3 and 4. Similarly repeat step 5 for all your hard disk partition.

Restart your system and your trouble will be fixed

How To Rename Multiple Files In Winxp

XP lets you rename files in bulk by simply selecting multiple files within Windows Explorer and pressing the F2 key. When you use this feature, the OS applies the name you enter to the first file and applies the same name with a number in parentheses to the other files you selected (the file extensions remain unchanged).

For example, if you select the following files,
* notes.doc
* figures.xls
* disney.jpg
* holiday.gif

and rename the first file (notes.doc) to SoD.doc, XP renames the remaining files as follows:
* SoD (1).xls
* SoD (2).jpg
* SoD(3).gif

Ban Shutdowns : A trick to Play on Lamers

This is a neat trick you can play on that lamer that has a huge ego,
in this section I teach you, how to disable the Shut Down option in
the Shut Down Dialog Box. This trick involves editing the registry,
so please make backups. 



Launch regedit.exe and go to :

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Policies\Explorer

In the right pane look for the NoClose Key. If it is not already there
then create it by right clicking in the right pane and selecting New >
String Value.(Name it NoCloseKey ) Now once you see the
NoCloseKey in the right pane, right click on it and select Modify.
Then Type 1 in the Value Data Box.

You can enable the shut down option by changing the value of
NoCloseKey to 0 or simply deleting the particular entry i.e. deleting
NoCloseKey.

To change the default drive or path where Windows will look for it's
installation files, go to the key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersio
n\Setup\SourcePath

Pop a banner each time Windows Boots

To pop a banner which can contain any message you want to
display just before a user is going to log on, go to the key:

Now create a new string Value in the right pane named
LegalNoticeCaption and enter the value that you want to see in the
Menu Bar. Now create yet another new string value and name it:
