Schedule a restart operation with Windows XP’s Shutdown
utility.start wit a fresh Win XP system every day.
To help you automate this type of restart operation,
Microsoft Windows XP comes with a command-line utility
called Shutdown.exe, which can restart your system. To make
this happen automatically, you can configure it to run at a
specified time with the Scheduled Tasks tool. Here’s how:
#-Go to Control Panel | Scheduled Tasks.
#-Double-click Add Scheduled Task to launch the Scheduled
Task Wizard.
#-Click Next and then click the Browse button.
#-Access the Windows\System32 folder, select Shutdown.exe,
and click Open.
#-Follow the wizard through the next two screens to give
the task a name and choose a schedule.
#-Enter your user account name and password and click Next.
#-Select the Open Advanced Properties check box and click Finish.
#-In the task’s Properties dialog box, add the /r parameter
to the end of the command line in the Run text box and click OK. (Be sure to include a space between the last character in the command name and the first character in
the parameter list.)
#-Enter your user account name and password and click OK.
When the Shutdown utility runs, you’ll momentarily see a
small dialog box on your screen before the system restarts.
Note: This tip applies to both Windows XP Home and
Professional editions.

Forgot Win XP Password
Can't Log On to Windows XP?
If that’s your only problem, then you probably have nothing to worry about. As long as you have your Windows XP CD, you can get back into your system using a simple but effective method made possible by a little known access hole in Windows XP.
This method is easy enough for newbies to follow – it doesn’t require using the Recovery Console or any complicated commands. And it’s free.
You can easily change or wipe out your Administrator password for free during a Windows XP Repair. Here’s how with a step-by-step description of the initial Repair process included for newbie’s.
1. Place your Windows XP CD in your cd-rom and start your computer (it’s assumed here that your XP CD is bootable – as it should be - and that you have your bios set to boot from CD)
2. Keep your eye on the screen messages for booting to your cd Typically, it will be “Press any key to boot from cd”
3. Once you get in, the first screen will indicate that Setup is inspecting your system and loading files.
4. When you get to the Welcome to Setup screen, press ENTER to Setup Windows now
5. The Licensing Agreement comes next - Press F8 to accept it.
6. The next screen is the Setup screen which gives you the option to do a Repair.
It should read something like “If one of the following Windows XP installations is damaged, Setup can try to repair it”
Use the up and down arrow keys to select your XP installation (if you only have one, it should already be selected) and press R to begin the Repair process.
7. Let the Repair run. Setup will now check your disks and then start copying files which can take several minutes.
8. Shortly after the Copying Files stage, you will be required to reboot. (this will happen automatically – you will see a progress bar stating “Your computer will reboot in 15 seconds”
9. During the reboot, do not make the mistake of “pressing any key” to boot from the CD again! Setup will resume automatically with the standard billboard screens and you will notice Installing Windows is highlighted.
10. Keep your eye on the lower left hand side of the screen and when you see the Installing Devices progress bar, press SHIFT + F10. This is the security hole! A command console will now open up giving you the potential for wide access to your system.
11. At the prompt, type NUSRMGR.CPL and press Enter. Voila! You have just gained graphical access to your User Accounts in the Control Panel.
12. Now simply pick the account you need to change and remove or change your password as you prefer. If you want to log on without having to enter your new password, you can type control userpasswords2 at the prompt and choose to log on without being asked for password. After you’ve made your changes close the windows, exit the command box and continue on with the Repair (have your Product key handy).
13. Once the Repair is done, you will be able to log on with your new password (or without a password if you chose not to use one or if you chose not to be asked for a password). Your programs and personalized settings should remain intact.
I tested the above on Windows XP Pro with and without SP1 and also used this method in a real situation where someone could not remember their password and it worked like a charm to fix the problem. This security hole allows access to more than just user accounts. You can also access the Registry and Policy Editor, for example. And its gui access with mouse control. Of course, a Product Key will be needed to continue with the Repair after making the changes, but for anyone intent on gaining access to your system, this would be no problem.
And in case you are wondering, NO, you cannot cancel install after making the changes and expect to logon with your new password.
Cancelling will just result in Setup resuming at bootup and your changes will be lost.
Ok, now that your logon problem is fixed, you should make a point to prevent it from ever happening again by creating a Password Reset Disk. This is a floppy disk you can use in the event you ever forget your log on password. It allows you to set a new password.
Here's how to create one if your computer is NOT on a domain:
Go to the Control Panel and open up User Accounts.
Choose your account (under Pick An Account to Change) and under Related Tasks, click "Prevent a forgotten password".
This will initiate a wizard.
Click Next and then insert a blank formatted floppy disk into your A: drive.
Click Next and enter your logon password in the password box.
Click Next to begin the creation of your Password disk.
Once completed, label and save the disk to a safe place
How to Log on to your PC Using Your Password Reset Disk
Start your computer and at the logon screen, click your user name and leave the password box blank or just type in anything. This will bring up a Logon Failure box and you will then see the option to use your Password Reset disk to create a new password. Click it which will initiate the Password Reset wizard. Insert your password reset disk into your floppy drive and follow the wizard which will let you choose a new password to use for your account.
Note: If your computer is part of a domain, the procedure for creating a password disk is different.

Excel Tips Keyboard Shortcut
Quick access to Excel formula bar via keyboard
A quick keyboard shortcut puts you right into the Formula bar. You don't need the mouse at all!
When entering formulas, you select a cell and start typing. To edit an existing formula, you probably make changes in the Formula bar. Recently, I noticed several Excel students reaching for the mouse and clicking the Formula bar to edit formulas. That method’s Okay, but some people find it easier to work from the keyboard as much as possible. If that describes you, press [F2] instead of reaching for the mouse the next time you want to edit an existing formula.To me, it hardly seemed worth mentioning. Admittedly, substituting a single keystroke for a mouse click doesn’t seem like a big deal, unless you prefer the keyboard (at least most of the time). The keyboard approach isn’t more efficient, it’s just different.
If pressing [F2] positions the cursor in the cell instead of the Formula bar, do the following:
1-From the Tools menu, choose Options.
2-Click the Edit tab.
3-Uncheck the Edit Directly In Cell option in the Settings area.
4-Click OK.
If you’re using Excel 2007, do the following:
1-Click the Office button and then click Excel Options (at the bottom right).
2-Select Advanced in the left pane.
3-Uncheck the Allow Editing Directly In Cell option.
4-Click OK.
Keyboard shortcuts to speed formatting in Excel worksheets
By now, most Office users probably know the Bold, Italic, and Underline shortcuts as well as they know their own names. (I’ve included them here because someone will surely take me to task if I leave them out.) But the rest of these shortcuts are less well known, even though you might actually need to apply, say, the Currency format to data more often than Underline or Italic.
These are standard, practical shortcuts that can save you time in earlier versions of Excel — but they’re especially useful in Excel 2007. Although the formats are accessible from the Home tab in that version, it could be years, possibly decades, before you develop the habit of locating them quickly. And if you’re working in a different tab, you don’t want to have to keep switching back to the Home tab just to format the data you’re working on.
Action | Shortcut
Bold the selection ( Ctrl+B )
Italicize the selection ( Ctrl+I )
Underline the selection ( Ctrl+U )
Strike through the selection ( Ctrl+5 )
Open the Style dialog box ( Alt+’ )
Open the Format Cells dialog box ( Ctrl+1 )
Apply the General format ( Ctrl+Shift+~ )
Apply the Currency format ( Ctrl+Shift+$ )
Apply the Percentage format ( Ctrl+Shift+% )
Apply the Date format ( Ctrl+Shift+# )
Apply the Time format ( Ctrl+Shift+@ )
Apply the Number format ( Ctrl+Shift+! )
Apply the Exponential number format ( Ctrl+Shift+^ )
Apply an outline border to the selection ( Ctrl+Shift+& )
Remove an outline border from the selection ( Ctrl+Shift +_ )
Shortcuts can save you a considerable amount of time when you’re entering or modifying data in a worksheet — but only if you can remember them. This list offers a quick reminder of some old standbys, along with a few shortcuts that are less well known but equally useful.
Action | Shortcut
Complete an entry and move to the next cell ( Enter )
Insert a new line within a cell ( Alt+Enter )
Enable editing within a cell ( F2 )
Fill selected cells with an entry you typed in one cell ( Ctrl+Enter )
Cancel an entry ( Esc )
Fill data down through selected cells ( Ctrl+D )
Fill data through selected cells to the right ( Ctrl+R )
Create a name ( Ctrl+F3 )
Insert a hyperlink ( Ctrl+K )
Insert the current date ( Ctrl and ; (semicolon) )
Insert the current time ( Ctrl and : (colon) )
Delete from the insertion point to the end of the line ( Ctrl+Delete )
Add blank cells ( Ctrl and Shift+ (plus) )
Delete selected cells ( Ctrl and - (hyphen) )
Create a chart from a range of data ( F11 )

Small Laptop - ASUS Eee PC
ASUS Eee PC is a good option for a lightweight laptop
(TechRepublic-article=Vincent Danen)
The ASUS Eee PC has become a very popular sub-notebook recently and has undergone quite a few revisions since it was first introduced. Initially it had a smaller screen size and a much smaller drive capacity, but the more recent ASUS Eee PC 900 has rectified many of the perceived shortcomings of previous models. The 900 has a larger 8.9? screen (compared to the 7? screen of previous models) and instead of coming with a smaller SSD (solid state drive) that previous versions provided (the 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB models), the 900 comes with 20GB across two drives (4GB and 16GB) for the Linux model.
With a comfortable keyboard that — while taking a little time to get used to — works quite well (certainly better than the Toshiba Libretto I had previously used as a sub-notebook), and the 1024×600 screen resolution, the Eee PC is a great little machine.
The Linux version comes with a tailored version of the Xandros Linux distribution. It has an innovative “home screen” that is great for those not used to Linux, as instead of calling applications by name, it calls them by function. For instance, to open Firefox you would click on the Web icon under the Internet section of the home screen. Likewise, to open Pidgin for instant messaging, the Messenger icon is available. Other examples of “applications” are the iGoogle, Wikipedia, and Internet Radio shortcuts, all of which open in Firefox.
Other tabs include Work, Learn, and Play. Under the Work tab the various OpenOffice applications can be found, simply titled Documents, Spreadsheets, and so forth. Under the Learn tab are various applications for children: Paint to load Tux Paint, Math takes you to a sub-tab that can teach fractions, geometry, and so forth. Under the Play tab are various fun programs like games, a media player, photo manager, video manager, and so forth.
With the included 1.3MB pixel Webcam, the Eee PC also bundles Skype so you can use it to do video chats.
To get started with it, ASUS has made the Eee PC extremely simple. Follow the first-time wizard, provide your user name, and you’re up and running. Setting up the wireless network is simple, and the basic Xandros distribution gives you the ability to tweak and personalize basic aspects of the interface.
Noted-if u guys need something small,easy to carry,for surfing internet using wireless or just for simple typing in word or excell,elegent look like corporate executive (for me it's look like a 'toy's') this laptop is what u looking for....
The Asus Eee PC 900 is a great out-of-the-box Linux laptop for new users. With the default Xandros install, everything just works. The boot speeds are amazing, and suspend/resume works great. Future versions of the Eee PC promise to be even more powerful while retaining the same form-factor.

Backup Datafile e-Mail Outlook
Another way to make a backup file, which is described in this article, involves exporting (copying) the contents of the message folder to a Personal Folders file (.pst) (Personal Folders file (.pst): Data file that stores your messages and other items on your computer. You can assign a .pst file to be the default delivery location for e-mail messages. You can use a .pst to organize and back up items for safekeeping.) using the Import and Export Wizard.
If you have an existing .pst file to which messages are being delivered, and you want to add the messages in your backed up .pst file to this .pst file, use the Import and Export Wizard to import the backed up .pst file.
How?
# On the File menu, click Import and Export.
# Click Import from another program or file, and then click Next.
# Click Personal Folder File (.pst), and then click Next.
# In the File to import box, specify the path and file name of the .pst file you want to import.
# Click one of the following:
Replace duplicates with items imported Existing data will be overwritten with the information in the file being imported.
Allow duplicates to be created Existing data will not be overwritten, and duplicate information will be added to the current Outlook folder.
-->Do not import duplicate items Existing data will be kept, and the duplicate information in the file will not be copied to the current Outlook folder.
Follow the remaining instructions in the Import and Export Wizard.
#-->Important You should not export items that were created in multiple languages or in a language that is not supported by your system code page to a file type that does not support Unicode. For example, if you have items created in multiple languages in a Microsoft Outlook Personal Folders file (.pst), you should not export the items to a Microsoft Outlook 97-2002 Personal Folders file (.pst). The latter file type does not support Unicode. Therefore, all items that contain characters in a language other than those supported by the system code page in text fields other than the body of items, such as To, Subject, and ContactName and BusinessTelephoneNumber properties of Contact items, will be interpreted incorrectly and displayed as question marks (?) and other unintelligible text.
If you just bought a new computer and want to use the .pst file that you backed up to create a new e-mail account, you can reconnect the backup data from your old computer to the new one.
If you have an existing .pst file to which messages are being delivered, and you want to add the messages in your backed up .pst file to this .pst file, use the Import and Export Wizard to import the backed up .pst file.

# On the File menu, click Import and Export.

Upsere thing to increase performance Vista
Windows vista has some great security n functionality features,as well as cool eye candy,such as Aero transparency,Flip 3D n other graphical tricks.Tapi semua tu membuatkan performance PC jadi tinggi become overhead hit on anything less than a top of the line super computer.
But we are the pirates! if u find your Vista performance lagging,lembab slow kita leh cuba buatkan Vista run faster.not to fast but ok lah sekadar boleh guna tanpa sakitkan hati mcm guna PC MMX processor.Antara beberapa langkah yg dah aku cuba dah pun berjaya tingkatkan kelajuan Vista aku..once again tak lah laju mana pun tapi sedaplah aku guna..dan paparan skrin tak lah sesedap mata memandang..upsere guys check it out..
1-Tambah RAM (Memory)
#Tak di nafikan Running in windows vista is a damn hungry monster eating RAM speed.Jika Windows XP runs great on 512mb of RAM u really need a 2gb of RAM to run Windows Vista tu pun kena turn off some graphical n animated feature kalau nak running cun..4gb of RAM is even better and u can turn on all the graphical features n keep a lot of program open,especially those that use a lot of memory.Luckily harga RAM skarang dah murah.
2-Dapatkan Video Card (VGA) yg terbaik
#Kalau dah ada RAM yg mencukupi,antara hardware yg memainkan peranan penting dlm menentukan pergerakan lancar Vista adalah Video Card (VGA).u need a fairly high end VGA card to run Aero n make better performance,but some computer vendors are selling computers with graphics card built-in mainboard.You can find out whether ur VGA is the bottleneck by checking ur WINDOWS EXPERIENCE INDEX (WEI) score from the Performance Information and Tools applet Control Panel..On-board (built-in) VGA dlm kebanyakan mainboard aren't powerful enough utk run Vista.Kalau nak run Aero dan any animated background dgn lancar dptkan VGA yg ada label Vista Premium Certified.Sama gak mcm RAM..lebih besaq RAM VGA lebih baik contoh cam PCIe atau AGP - ATI Radeon 128mb/256mb/512mb atau NVdia GeForce 128mb/256mb/512mb dan kalau nak main game/Vista game pastikan yg VGA Card hangpa tu leh support Direct X 10.
3-Eliminate extra startup programs
#Kalau di perhati ngan teliti korang mungkin akn nampak ada banyak programs loading automatically when u boot windows.especially bila Vista korang added byk software.Some of these software mgkin korang perlukan mcm antivirus atau anti-spyware programs.Tetapi kebanyakannya tak di perlukan atau tak perlu run all the time at startup .Disebabkan kebanyakan program tu loading melalui memory n dah tentu consuming your system resources n itu yg menyebabkan computer korang running slow as they run in the background..Some programs can be prevented from starting automatically by removing them from Startup folder.Yg lain2 boleh reconfigured dlm registry to run at startup.U can managed through the WINDOWS DEFENDER SOFTWARE EXPLORER,which u can access from the MANAGE STARTUP PROGRAMS link in the left pane of the PERFORMANCE INFORMATION and TOOLS applet.
4-Turn off visual effect n animation
#Terdapat banyak visual enhancements yg running membuatkan Vista nampak cantik lawa pada setiap paparan,such as animation when minimize n maximize windows,fading or sliding menu-shadow under menu n mouse pointer,thumbnails of graphics yg nampak indah bila dipandang.Semua benda tu lah yg memerlukan dan memakan byk sumber memory resources..jika performance speed is your priority maka operating systems will run faster without them..kita leh adjust utk tingkatkan kelajuan dlm Performance Option dialog box that can be access through the ADJUST VISUAL EFFECTS link in the left pane of the PERFORMANCE INFORMATION and TOOLS APPLET.ON the VISUAL EFFECT tab u can customize these setting turn off kan memana yg hangpa suka utk membantu tingkatkan kelajuan performance.Atau hangpa boleh disable all of the visual effect by clik the box ADJUST FOR BEST PERFORMANCE option.Semua animated n visual effect akn disable tapi paparan jadi tak lawa tak comel lagi..
4-Turn off the side bar
#The sidebar is a cool feature of Vista,mmg indah bila dipandang dan ada gak kegunaannya..tapi kalau kita tak guna sidebar tu kita dah leh jimat penggunaan memory dgn disablekan sidebar tu.Right clik kat sidebar tu select Properties,pastu deselect the 'check box to start the sidebar when windows start'.Pastu klik kanan lagi kat sidebar and select Close.
5-Adjust Power Settings
#if u dont mind using more power,u can boost performance ngan setting ur power setting to High Performance option.Clik Power Option kat dlm Control Panel.Kalau ikut default is set to Balanced which mean limit the CPU n Memory to 50% power during normal operation.Aku guna laptop aku lebih suka set ke balanced sbb nak panjangkan hayat bateri aku.
6-Clean up and defrag the disk
#Kena rajin dan sentiasa fragment file..Fragmented files or a lot of unneeded extra file on Disk can slow down performance.Sama gak ngan XP..Vista pun provides disk clean up tool..gi ke Start | All Programs | Accessories | Sysytem Tools..pastu pilih la memana drive yg nak clean,n the tool will estimate the amount of space u can recover by running the cleanup process..Defragmenting the disk akan menyusun semula data dlm disk so that all the parts of a file are together-ini akn membuatkan Vista membenarkan utk access any files lebih cepat.Proses utk defrag nih mmg slow skit..nak yg Third-party Defrag Utilities pun ada boleh download dr internet.

Upsere tips to buy a Laptop
Laptop bkn lagi satu benda yg asing.harga sebuah laptop dah
murah setanding semurah harga sebuah desktop pc.jgn kerana
harga murah diabaikan segala aspek yg perlu ada utk sebuah
laptop..pikir dulu sebelum beli..utk apa ada sebuah laptop
mana yg penting utk kegunaan kita laptop atau desktop pc..
apa yg perlu diambil kira sebelum beli sebuah laptop
1-CPU intel dual core atau AMD
2-Video adapter
3-jumlah RAM
4-saiz hdd
5-DVD burner
6-wireless n bluetooth
7-memory card reader
8-jumlah usb port
9-screen size n berat notebook
10-battery life
operating systems-
kebanyakan pc atau laptop seperti HP,Dell atau lenovo
dijual bersama dgn operating system.sekarang semua dijual
dengan windows vista.sebuah laptop memerlukan 1gb of ram
utkmenjalankan windows vista sbb windows vista memakan
memory yg banyak..nak pastikan laptop running in better
performance pastikan ada 2gb of ram(memory).tapi perlukah
semua tu kalau kita hanya sekadar menggunakan laptop utk
write document in word or excell,send n receive-check email
and use Internet?pakai je lah windows XP tak lah sakit
kepala sgt..malangnya windows xp dah tak de dijual
dipasaran kalau nak guna la pirate XP..nak guna Win Xp dlm
Laptop baru yg dikeluar kan utk support win vista pun dah
jadi satu masaalah sbb nak cari driver yg support dgn
windows xp tu yg susah!!
CPU-
ikut kesesuaian kita guna laptop tu..kalau kita nak guna
utk 3d,games baik guna yg guna AMD..kalau sekadar nak
typing n surf internet intel core 2 duo is better for u..
Video adapter-
sama mcm CPU ikut kesesuaian..kalau boleh cuba dapatkan
video yg guna nVidia.
Ram-
pastikan laptop tu datang ngan 1gb of ram leh support hgga
2gb atau 4gb of Ram..amik kira sama ,ada berapa slot utk
Ram.
Saiz HDD-
Carilah Hard disk yg melebihi 80gb..
DVD burner-
DVD rom-boleh read n burn cd dan boleh read n burn DVD
wireless n bluetooth-
pastikan ada wireless tak de wireless sesia je beli
laptop..bluetooth kalau ada lagi baik..tak de tak pe lah
boleh cari donggle usb bluetooth je..
memory card reader-
penting tuh..cuba dpatkan yg leh support byk memory
reader..kebiasaannya yg pasti ada utk read sd card dan mmc
card..tu 2in one cuba cari yg ada 4 in 1 ke 6 in 1 ke...
jumlah USB port-
biasanya ada 2 usb port kalau ada lebih lagi baik..pastikan
juga ada 1394 usb port..kalau ada serial port lagi sempoi..
screen size n berat notebook-
kalau jenis yg suka travel ngan notebook cari la yg saiz
kecik 12" ke..yg normal 14"..besar sgt tak yah ler ikut le
keperluan tu..berat pun penting gak taklah senget bahu nak
mengusung notebook tu dpt around 2.3 kg ke 2.4 kg ke ok
latu lagi ringan lagi baik..
batery life-
hayat bateri pun penting dah tak banyak batery leh thn lama
dpt yg beteri leh thn 3 jam ok le jgn lak kurang dari tu
nak tgk movie pun tak lepas kalau bateri thn 2 jam je..lagi
thn lama bateri lagi baik.ada gak baetri yg quick
recharge..utk pastikan bateri tu sentisa dlm good
performance guna bateri sampai abis dah keluar amaran
bateri empty tggl lagi 3% ke nak abis baru plug in
charger..cuba elakkan laptop sentiasa di caj atau
menggunakan laptop dgn kabel charger masih terpasang
walaupun bateri tu dah full charge..
Webcam-
kalau ada dah ckup complete notebook anda..kalau tak de
built in webcam takpe, tak lah penting sangat pun..bole
beli usb webcam..plug in jer..
noted : nih hanya pandangan aku jer..Kalau nak membeli Laptop sebaiknya cari yg branded cth mcm HP,HP-Compaq,Lenovo,Toshiba n etc:- sbb Laptop camtu mudah utk ke service centre if any poblem occur,sng nak dptkan driver search je kat internet.Brand cam MSI,Asus,Ftec tu bkn lah specialist Laptop..Brand cam ACER kalau bole elakkan sbb sepanjang aku terjebak dlm dunia pirate In IT nih Acer laptop paling banyak poblem n unsolved poblem still in mysterious poblem..

Task Manager
Delete an undeletable file in Windows XP
Hangpa tentu pernah try delete file dlm Windows Explorer pastu dpt error mesej that it could not be delete the file because it was in use??mesej nih keluar walaupun hangpa pasti yg hangpa tak open/tak guna pun file tu..sbb file tu bkn system file tapi ada kaitan tak langsung ngan system file sbb tu tak leh delete..
Kalau dah ketegaq sgt nak delete jugak boleh try delete dlm Safe Mode atau guna delete command dlm command prompt..Gagal jugak..
Kalau dah ketegaq sgt ..
Here's how you can delete an "undeletable" file. Follow these steps:
1-Close all open programs.
2-Open a command prompt.
3-Right-click the taskbar, and select Task Manager.
4-On the Processes tab, select Explorer.exe, and click the End Process button.
5-Minimize Task Manager, but don't close it.
6-At the command prompt, use the Delete command to remove the file, and close the command prompt.
7-In Task Manager, go to File | New Task (Run).
8-In the Create New Task dialog box, enter Explorer.exe, and click OK.
9-Close Task Manager.
Huh..dah hilang pun file tu..
For Your Info from task manager
Windows XP's Task Manager is a very useful tool when it comes to troubleshooting problems. Not only does it help you terminate hung applications, but it also provides you with detailed information about all the processes currently running on your computer.
When you select the Processes tab, the default detail view displays four columns of information about each process:
Image Name: The name of the process.
User Name: The user who started the process.
CPU: The percentage of the CPU's capacity that a process is currently using.
Mem Usage: The amount of memory the process requires to perform its job.
While these four columns provide you with a basic idea of the process and how it affects the system, you can customize this display with your choice of 21 other columns to get even more detailed information. Here's how:
Pull down the View menu and choose Select Columns.
Select the check boxes adjacent to the columns you'd like to add.
If you're unsure of the type of information that a particular column displays, access Task Manager Help Topics from the Help menu and search for the term "Process counter column headings." This will open a page with detailed descriptions of each column.

this problem occurs when you try to update drivers in the computer..sometimes windows XP cannot update the driver and that corrupts system.ini file as it has a lot of bad entries..Due to this you will get this error mesage..No its not due to virus.its due to an attempt to change system.ini file
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM
That means the System Registry Hive has become corrupted.
ada 2 langkah to get back up and running. The easy way selalunya jarang menjadi,kalau tak jadi guna cara yg susah ( hard way).90% pasti menjadi..
Easy Way --- Note that this doesn't always work.Try la dulu kekadang je jadi.
#>Restart PC/Laptop,bila ada dlm booting system/tkn je button ON trus tekan F8 key berkali-kali sampai dia keluar Menu utk pilih-Safe Mode..blabla, meaning after it does the Power On Self Test.
bila dah keluar Menu tu pilih "Boot Using Last Known Good Configuration".
sepatutnya selepas amik option tu dia akan load Windows XP using a past set of configuration files.
Kalau masih keluar error mesej yg sama gak selepas reboot..tak jadi la tu,takpe guna step nih lak....the hard way.
#>Hard Way--Boot your system with the Windows XP Install CD, biar system boot from CD into the Setup. Once in the Setup, pilih run the Recovery Console.
Pastu dia akn masuk dlm Command DOS.(mcm DOS dlm Win 98 tu)
First,Kita akan cuba recover the System Hive.
Pastu, type in the following commands with pressing Enter after each line.
md tmp
copy C:\windows\system32\config\system
C:\windows\tmp\system.bak
delete C:\windows\system32\config\system
copy C:\windows\repair\system
C:\windows\system32\config\system
"Be very careful when you are typing in these commands, one wrong move, and you have, broken Windows XP."
Attempt to boot the system, Kalau tak leh boot gak, get back into the Recovery Console and do the following commands.
md tmp
copy C:\windows\system32\config\software
C:\windows\tmp\software.bak
delete C:\windows\system32\config\software
copy C:\windows\repair\software
C:\windows\system32\config\software
Pastu try boot..kompom dah ok!

MS Outlook 2003-Import calendar data into outlook calender
Import Overview
Importing is the process of taking data from programs, such as Excel, and bringing this data into another program, such as Outlook. You can import calendar items (appointments) into your Outlook Calendar very easily by following the procedure in this document.
Import Process
Once you have created and saved a CSV file that includes the columns needed for import, follow these steps to import your calendar data.
1. In Outlook, select File > Import and Export... from the menu bar.
2. In the Import and Export Wizard dialog box, select Import from another program or file and click Next.
3. In the Import File dialog box, select the desired file format, e.g. Microsoft Excel and click Next. Note: you may be prompted to install a piece of software called the Microsoft Office Outlook translator, if so, click Yes to install.
4. Click the Browse button and navigate to where the import file is stored on your machine or network. Select the desired import file.(test.xls is my CSV file).
5. Under Options, select Allow duplicates to be created and click Next.
6. Under Select destination folder, select Calendar and click Next.
7. The next window is typically used for mapping the spreadsheet data to the field names in Outlook. If you have named your fields exactly as stated above, you will not need to map your fields. However, if you did not name the fields as stated above, you must click Map Custom fields… and complete the next window before completing the import process.
8. Click Finish. Once the import process has completed successfully, your appointments will appear in your Outlook Calendar.

Hardware you should replace rather than repair
Setiap PC pasti akn timbul poblem yg terjadi tetiba..PC 'hang'become unstable,tak semua nya sbb software,virus/spyware atau system windows yg corrupt..kekadang hardware yg jadi punca pc slow,'hang'..walaupun PC tu atau hardware tu baru beli waranty ada lagi cuma kebarangkalian hardware tu nak rosak tak tggi..Kalau hardware rosak kerap kali kita nak repair malas la tukar baru sbb repair murah sikit..tak semua benda yg rosak kita leh repair..sbb kalau repair ok kejap je pastu rosak balik...kat bwh nih beberapa brg yg patut ditukar lebih baik dari repair..
#:POWER SUPPLY
The truth is power supply adalah benda yg last sekali kita pikir utk assemmble new pc..Power supply unit(PSU)memainkan peranan penting utk kelajuan pc kita..Normal power supply utk P4 400watt/450wat..setiap pc powernya berbeza terutamanya bagi yg ada multiple high-end video card or lots of add-on cards n peripherals.rajin2 le bersihkan habuk2 debu kat kipas power supply tu..sbb pc memerlukan power yg cukup utk menggerak kan semua hardware yg ada dlm CPU.Kekurangan voltage power supply boleh menyebabkan PC running unstable.
#:VIDEO GRAPHIC ADAPTER(VGA)
Video card adalah benda yg cukup penting dlm memastikan performance system pc running good/extra good.VGA card juga satu benda yg mahal harga nya sbb tu ramai yg suka amik mainboard built in vga.VGA nih satu component yg sentiasa meningkat setiap hari..ada saja model/version baru tahap memory pun makin bertambah ada yg dikeluarkan utk membolehkan dia support 3D graphic,DirectX 10 atau yg boleh sambung direct ke TV.Video kad juga penting utk memastikan kelancaran sebuah PC yg running dlm Windows Vista.Just like CPU,VGA yg berusia lebih 2thn lamanya diguna pakai dah tak sepantas yg baru..ini bermakna user mesti tukar jgn repair video kad kalau rosak..
#:HARD DISK DRIVE(HDD)
Component komputer yg paling di takuti kalau rosak adalah Hard Drive.Sbb HDD nih menyimpan data2 peribadi kita.bila HDD gagal berfungsi damn sakit kepala lagumana nak dpt balik data nih..Ada tempat yg boleh recover balik data2 nih..kalau nak balik data tu bayor je lah...Nilai data dlm HDD tu kekadang lebih mahal dari component PC yg paling mahal contoh CPU atau Video Card.HDD kalau rosak boleh direpair depend on what poblem.Tapi kalau rasa data yg disimpan tu bernilai amalkan la tabiat yg mulia dgn sentiasa rajin backup data..mencegah tu kan lebih baik sblum terjadi.beringat sblum terkena.Info:-Serial ATAII(SATAII)which has a maximum data tranfer rate about 300mb/s as opposed to SATA I 150mb/s n the older Parallel ATA(PATA) rate of 133mb/s.SATA II masih baru kebanyakan motherboard belum support lagi.tapi walaupun kebnyakan motherboard blum support SATA II drive generally have a jumper that can put in SATA I mode.
#:MONITOR
Sekarang dah murah monitor kat market..kalau rosak tu beli je baru tak yah repair kekadang tu tak berbaloi kalau repair.Kalau video card tu power beli je LCD Tv screen.dah banyak tv yg boleh sambung ke komputer..bosan tgk tv bukak komputer sambung lah ke TV..pergh sempoi gempak lah...
#:MOTHERBOARD and PROSESSOR
Nak tukaq mainboard samalah jugak dgn bermula dari awal (starting over)sbb ia memerlukan penglibatan banyak component yg perlu di upgrade dan ada jugak yg perlu reinstall system OS..dan kekadang semua tu tak perlu kalau di tukar ke yg sama model.starting over can be the bes thing walaupun agak menyakitkan.

Slow Pc-Things u should know to troubleshoot
#:Spyware and viruses – Spyware and viruses pose a significant security threat, and they can also dramatically decrease computer performance. The first step when combating spyware should always be to scan the machine with updated spyware detection/removal and antivirus software. Use these applications to remove any detected infections. If the software scanners don't work, here are a few other steps to try.
• Identify and end suspicious processes with Windows Task Manager.
• Identify and disable suspicious services and startup items with the System Configuration Utility.
• Identify and delete suspicious files.
Note: If the above techniques fail, start Windows in Safe Mode and retry.
To remove spyware:
• Identify and disable suspicious services with the Management Console.
• Search and delete registry entries associated with suspicious services or startup items.
• Install and use multiple spyware detection and removal utilities.
Note: If the above techniques fail, start Windows in Safe Mode and retry.
#: Processor overheating – Modern processors generate a lot of heat. That’s why all processors require some sort of cooling element, typically a fan of some type. Machines used for gaming or other processor-intensive activities often use more sophisticated water cooling or refrigerant systems. When the processor temperature goes over spec, the system can slow down or run erratically. Modern motherboards can monitor the processor temperature and report it through the system BIOS.
The processor fan may fail for several reasons:
• Dust is preventing the fan from spinning smoothly.
• The fan motor has failed.
• The fan bearings are loose and "jiggling."
Often you can tell if there is a fan problem by listening and/or touching the computer. A fan that has loose bearings starts jiggling and vibrates the case, making a characteristic noise. You may barely notice the noise at first, and it’s common for even the experienced computer pro to overlook this change. But as time goes by, the sounds and vibrations will become so prominent that you’ll change the fan out just to stop the racket!
You don’t always need to replace the fan. If it is covered with dust, you can often spray away the dust with compressed air. Note that even though you might get the fan running again, its life span has likely been reduced because of the overwork. You should keep an extra fan in reserve in case of failure.
#:Bad RAM –(Memory)Random Access Memory.
• RAM has minor flaws that only appear on detailed testing.
• RAM is overheating.
In the "old days" of Fast Page RAM, buying new RAM for your computer was a pretty simple affair. You just needed to know what speed your motherboard supported and the maximum each slot would take. Today, there are many different speeds and types of RAM, and the better motherboards may be tolerant of using RAM that does not match the motherboard’s maximum specs. For example, your motherboard may support ECC RAM but will still work with non-ECC RAM, or may support both PC2700 and PC3200 DIMMs. But be aware that you may need to change BIOS settings and you may see performance decreases if you install RAM that is slower than the maximum spec.
Minor flaws in RAM chips can lead to system slowdowns and instability. The least expensive chips often have minor flaws that will cause your system to slow down or Blue Screen intermittently. Although built-in mechanisms may allow the system to keep working, there is a performance hit when it has to deal with flawed RAM chips.
• RAM timing is slower than optimal machine spec.
In the past, no one worried about RAM chips getting hot, because they didn’t seem to generate much heat. But that’s changed with newer RAM types, especially SDRAM. To check for overheating, open your computer’s case, power down, and pull the plug out. Ground yourself and touch the plastic on one of your RAM chips. Ouch! They get pretty hot. If you find that your RAM chips are overheating, you should consider buying a separate fan to cool your memory. If your motherboard doesn’t support a RAM fan, you might be able to get enough additional cooling by installing a fan card that plugs into a PCI slot.
You can also buy copper "heatspreaders" or RAM heatsinks that improve heat dissipation and help prevent problems caused by overheated RAM.
Tip: Some motherboards will even allow you to mix speeds but will default to the slowest RAM installed.
#:Failing hard disk – There may be many signs of imminent failure before a hard disk finally gives up, depending on the type of failure (mechanical, electronic, logical or firmware failure). Some of these signs include:
• Slow access times on the affected drive.
• An increasing number of bad sectors when running scandisk and chkdsk.
• Unexplained Blue Screens.
• Intermittent boot failures.
Detecting a failing hard disk can be tricky because the early signs are subtle. Experienced computer professionals can often hear a change in the normal disk spin (often manifested as a clicking or crunching noise or a high pitched whine). After the disk deteriorates further, you’ll see the system crawl to a standstill. Write processes will take a long time as the system tries to find good blocks to write to. (This will occur if you’re using a robust file system such as NTFS; other file systems will likely Blue Screen the computer.) You may get error messages such as "Windows delayed write failure" on Windows computers.
When you notice the system slow down, run scandisk or chkdsk, depending on your operating system. If you notice a bad sector where a good sector existed earlier, that’s a clue that the disk is going bad. Back up the data on the disk and prepare for it to fail soon. Make sure you have a spare disk ready so you can replace it when it fails, or replace the disk as soon as you notice the early signs of failure. Disk noise and scandisk/chkdsk are your best indicators for identifying a failing drive that’s leading to a system slowdown.
#:BIOS settings – One often-ignored culprit of system slowdown is the machine’s BIOS settings. Most people accept the BIOS settings as they were configured in the factory and leave them as is. However, slowdowns may occur if the BIOS settings do not match the optimal machine configuration. Often you can improve machine performance by researching your motherboard’s optimal BIOS settings—which may not be the same as the factory defaults.
There is no centralized database of optimal BIOS settings, but a simple Web search on your motherboard name and BIOS as keywords should yield the correct settings.
You may also be able to increase performance by updating or "flashing" your BIOS. Check with your motherboard’s vendor for the software and instructions to do this.
#:Windows services – Many Windows services are enabled by default. Many of these services, however, are not required for your machine to run properly. You should review the services running on your Windows 2000/Windows XP computer and disable those that you don’t need.
One way to see what services are running is to use the Services applet found in the Administrative Tools menu. Right-click My Computer and select Manage. Important information contained in the Services console includes the service Name, Status, and Startup Type. You can get more details on a service by double-clicking on it to bring up the service's Properties.
You can stop the service by clicking the Stop button. If you are sure that you don’t need the service, click the down arrow in the Startup Type drop-down list box and set the service to Disabled. If you are not sure if you need the service, change the Startup Type to Manual. Then you’ll have the option of manually starting the service if you find that you need it.
Another way of controlling which services start is using the msconfig utility. Open the Run dialog box and type msconfig in the Open text box. The Essential column shows services Microsoft considers essential to running the computer. However, note that many required services are not defined as essential in the System Configuration Utility window. You can prevent a service from starting at bootup by unchecking the check box to the left of the service.
One service that is well known for slowing down Windows 2000/Windows XP systems is the Indexing Service. This service indexes the content of each hard disk and makes it easier for the Search utility to find files. Unless you are running a Web site that uses the indexing service, you may want to disable it to improve performance.
#:Disk fragmentation – As files are added, deleted, and changed on a disk, the contents of the file can become spread across sectors located in disparate regions of the disk. This is file fragmentation. Disk fragmentation can significantly slow down your machine. The disk heads must move back and forth while seeking all the fragments of a file. A common cause of disk fragmentation is a disk that is too full. You should keep 20 percent to 25 percent of your hard disk space free to minimize file fragmentation and to improve the defragmenter’s ability to defrag the disk. Thus, if a disk is too full, move some files off the drive and restart the defragmenter. In Windows XP, you can use the defrag.exe command line tool to schedule defragmentation on a regular basis.
#:Background applications – Have you ever visited an end-user’s desktop and noticed a dozen icons in the system tray? Each icon represents a process running in either the foreground or background. Most of them are running in the background, so the users may not be aware that they are running 20+ applications at the same time.
This is due to applications starting up automatically in the background. Look first for such programs in the Startup folder in the Start menu. Many applications place components in the Startup folder to run in the background. Some of these, such as the Microsoft Office Findfast, can really chew up processor and disk time and noticeably slow down a system. Review each of the entries in the Startup folder and delete any that are unnecessary.
Not all programs that run at startup appear in the Startup folder. Another place to look is the following registry keys: HKEY_ LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
In Windows XP, run msconfig and check the Startup tab to view startup programs. You can uncheck the boxes to keep individual programs from running at startup.

#: Processor overheating – Modern processors generate a lot of heat. That’s why all processors require some sort of cooling element, typically a fan of some type. Machines used for gaming or other processor-intensive activities often use more sophisticated water cooling or refrigerant systems. When the processor temperature goes over spec, the system can slow down or run erratically. Modern motherboards can monitor the processor temperature and report it through the system BIOS.
The processor fan may fail for several reasons:
• Dust is preventing the fan from spinning smoothly.
• The fan motor has failed.
• The fan bearings are loose and "jiggling."
Often you can tell if there is a fan problem by listening and/or touching the computer. A fan that has loose bearings starts jiggling and vibrates the case, making a characteristic noise. You may barely notice the noise at first, and it’s common for even the experienced computer pro to overlook this change. But as time goes by, the sounds and vibrations will become so prominent that you’ll change the fan out just to stop the racket!
You don’t always need to replace the fan. If it is covered with dust, you can often spray away the dust with compressed air. Note that even though you might get the fan running again, its life span has likely been reduced because of the overwork. You should keep an extra fan in reserve in case of failure.
#:Bad RAM –(Memory)Random Access Memory.
• RAM has minor flaws that only appear on detailed testing.
• RAM is overheating.
In the "old days" of Fast Page RAM, buying new RAM for your computer was a pretty simple affair. You just needed to know what speed your motherboard supported and the maximum each slot would take. Today, there are many different speeds and types of RAM, and the better motherboards may be tolerant of using RAM that does not match the motherboard’s maximum specs. For example, your motherboard may support ECC RAM but will still work with non-ECC RAM, or may support both PC2700 and PC3200 DIMMs. But be aware that you may need to change BIOS settings and you may see performance decreases if you install RAM that is slower than the maximum spec.
Minor flaws in RAM chips can lead to system slowdowns and instability. The least expensive chips often have minor flaws that will cause your system to slow down or Blue Screen intermittently. Although built-in mechanisms may allow the system to keep working, there is a performance hit when it has to deal with flawed RAM chips.
• RAM timing is slower than optimal machine spec.
In the past, no one worried about RAM chips getting hot, because they didn’t seem to generate much heat. But that’s changed with newer RAM types, especially SDRAM. To check for overheating, open your computer’s case, power down, and pull the plug out. Ground yourself and touch the plastic on one of your RAM chips. Ouch! They get pretty hot. If you find that your RAM chips are overheating, you should consider buying a separate fan to cool your memory. If your motherboard doesn’t support a RAM fan, you might be able to get enough additional cooling by installing a fan card that plugs into a PCI slot.
You can also buy copper "heatspreaders" or RAM heatsinks that improve heat dissipation and help prevent problems caused by overheated RAM.
Tip: Some motherboards will even allow you to mix speeds but will default to the slowest RAM installed.
#:Failing hard disk – There may be many signs of imminent failure before a hard disk finally gives up, depending on the type of failure (mechanical, electronic, logical or firmware failure). Some of these signs include:
• Slow access times on the affected drive.
• An increasing number of bad sectors when running scandisk and chkdsk.
• Unexplained Blue Screens.
• Intermittent boot failures.
Detecting a failing hard disk can be tricky because the early signs are subtle. Experienced computer professionals can often hear a change in the normal disk spin (often manifested as a clicking or crunching noise or a high pitched whine). After the disk deteriorates further, you’ll see the system crawl to a standstill. Write processes will take a long time as the system tries to find good blocks to write to. (This will occur if you’re using a robust file system such as NTFS; other file systems will likely Blue Screen the computer.) You may get error messages such as "Windows delayed write failure" on Windows computers.
When you notice the system slow down, run scandisk or chkdsk, depending on your operating system. If you notice a bad sector where a good sector existed earlier, that’s a clue that the disk is going bad. Back up the data on the disk and prepare for it to fail soon. Make sure you have a spare disk ready so you can replace it when it fails, or replace the disk as soon as you notice the early signs of failure. Disk noise and scandisk/chkdsk are your best indicators for identifying a failing drive that’s leading to a system slowdown.
#:BIOS settings – One often-ignored culprit of system slowdown is the machine’s BIOS settings. Most people accept the BIOS settings as they were configured in the factory and leave them as is. However, slowdowns may occur if the BIOS settings do not match the optimal machine configuration. Often you can improve machine performance by researching your motherboard’s optimal BIOS settings—which may not be the same as the factory defaults.
There is no centralized database of optimal BIOS settings, but a simple Web search on your motherboard name and BIOS as keywords should yield the correct settings.
You may also be able to increase performance by updating or "flashing" your BIOS. Check with your motherboard’s vendor for the software and instructions to do this.
#:Windows services – Many Windows services are enabled by default. Many of these services, however, are not required for your machine to run properly. You should review the services running on your Windows 2000/Windows XP computer and disable those that you don’t need.
One way to see what services are running is to use the Services applet found in the Administrative Tools menu. Right-click My Computer and select Manage. Important information contained in the Services console includes the service Name, Status, and Startup Type. You can get more details on a service by double-clicking on it to bring up the service's Properties.
You can stop the service by clicking the Stop button. If you are sure that you don’t need the service, click the down arrow in the Startup Type drop-down list box and set the service to Disabled. If you are not sure if you need the service, change the Startup Type to Manual. Then you’ll have the option of manually starting the service if you find that you need it.
Another way of controlling which services start is using the msconfig utility. Open the Run dialog box and type msconfig in the Open text box. The Essential column shows services Microsoft considers essential to running the computer. However, note that many required services are not defined as essential in the System Configuration Utility window. You can prevent a service from starting at bootup by unchecking the check box to the left of the service.
One service that is well known for slowing down Windows 2000/Windows XP systems is the Indexing Service. This service indexes the content of each hard disk and makes it easier for the Search utility to find files. Unless you are running a Web site that uses the indexing service, you may want to disable it to improve performance.
#:Disk fragmentation – As files are added, deleted, and changed on a disk, the contents of the file can become spread across sectors located in disparate regions of the disk. This is file fragmentation. Disk fragmentation can significantly slow down your machine. The disk heads must move back and forth while seeking all the fragments of a file. A common cause of disk fragmentation is a disk that is too full. You should keep 20 percent to 25 percent of your hard disk space free to minimize file fragmentation and to improve the defragmenter’s ability to defrag the disk. Thus, if a disk is too full, move some files off the drive and restart the defragmenter. In Windows XP, you can use the defrag.exe command line tool to schedule defragmentation on a regular basis.
#:Background applications – Have you ever visited an end-user’s desktop and noticed a dozen icons in the system tray? Each icon represents a process running in either the foreground or background. Most of them are running in the background, so the users may not be aware that they are running 20+ applications at the same time.
This is due to applications starting up automatically in the background. Look first for such programs in the Startup folder in the Start menu. Many applications place components in the Startup folder to run in the background. Some of these, such as the Microsoft Office Findfast, can really chew up processor and disk time and noticeably slow down a system. Review each of the entries in the Startup folder and delete any that are unnecessary.
Not all programs that run at startup appear in the Startup folder. Another place to look is the following registry keys: HKEY_ LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
In Windows XP, run msconfig and check the Startup tab to view startup programs. You can uncheck the boxes to keep individual programs from running at startup.

Mengawal users dari menyimpan file MP3 ke dalam Windows Server 2003
You can use Windows Server 2003 to prevent storage of unauthorized file types, including .MP3 files on your Windows 2003 file servers. This tip will show you how to configure the File Server Management Console (FSMC) to prevent the storage of .MP3 files on your server, and also how to create a file group and a file screen.
You will need to access the Configure Your Server wizard to install the FSMC. To accomplish this, open the Configure Your Server wizard and add the role of File Server. Servers upgraded from Windows 2000 Server to Windows Server 2003 R2 have this role present. If your file server already has this role, you still need the FSMC, which you will install.
To install the FSMC component, complete the following steps:
#Open the Control Panel.
#Open the Add/Remove Programs applet.
#Choose Windows Components.
#Select the Management And Monitoring Tools component.
#Click the Details button.
#Check the box for the File Server Management console and click OK.
When the install completes, close the Windows Components wizard and the Add/Remove Programs applet.
Once you install the FSMC, open the console from the Administrative Tools menu; you can now create file groups for the disallowed file types. For example, you might create a file group called Music Files to contain .MP3 and .WMA files and create another group called Video Files to manage .MPG and .MOV files.
By creating file groups and creating a file screen that uses them, you can prevent the saving of unwanted file types. (There are other settings available for file screening, but they are outside the scope of simply preventing file saving.)
Follow these steps in the FSMC to create these groups:
#Expand the File Screening Management node.
#Right-click the File Groups object and select Create File Group.
#Provide a name for the file group (in this case, Music Files).
#Specify the types of files to include by entering the extension *.MP3. If you wish to disallow files with a certain pattern in the name, you can specify that pattern with wildcards — for example, you would add files beginning with Track using the pattern Track*.
#Click the Add button to add the file type or pattern to the files to include dialog.
#Add any types of files or patterns you wish to exclude from this group in the Files To Exclude box. Click Add.
#When you finish adding all the file types to the group, click OK. The FSMC will display your new file group in the Details pane when you open the File Screening node.
You may also want to consider redirecting users’ most used folders to a network location; this will make it easier to screen files. Follow these steps to create a file screen:
#Open the FSMC and right-click the File Screening Management node.
#Click Create File Screen.
#Provide the name of the folder you wish to screen. An example would be the UNC path of the redirected personal folder of a specific user, e.g., \server01\users\jsmith.
#Select the Define Custom File Screen Properties option.
#Click the Custom Properties button.
#On the Settings tab of the Custom Properties box, select Active Screening. This will prevent anyone from saving files that meet your specified conditions to the selected folder.
#Select the Music Files group. (You will check the boxes of the file groups you wish to use.)
#Click OK on Custom Properties and the Create File Screen dialog box.
You will need to access the Configure Your Server wizard to install the FSMC. To accomplish this, open the Configure Your Server wizard and add the role of File Server. Servers upgraded from Windows 2000 Server to Windows Server 2003 R2 have this role present. If your file server already has this role, you still need the FSMC, which you will install.
To install the FSMC component, complete the following steps:
#Open the Control Panel.
#Open the Add/Remove Programs applet.
#Choose Windows Components.
#Select the Management And Monitoring Tools component.

Speed up Windows XP's Search Companion
Perhatian : Nak Edit Registry berrisiko,pastikan u all ada backup complete sebelum buat sebarang perubahan dlm registry..risiko tu tanggung sendiri lah..
One reason Windows Vista's Search tool is so fast is that rather than searching your whole hard disk, it searches only the Documents folders. So the next time you pull up Windows XP's Search Companion, click All Files And Folders and select My Documents
from the Look In drop-down list. This prevents the Search Companion from searching the entire hard disk. If you want to search documents stored in the root folder, you can still
speed up the process by removing system folders from the search.
Click All Files And Folders, open the More Advanced Options panel, and clear the Search System Folders check box. If the Search Hidden Files And Folders check box is selected, clear it too. If your hard disk contains a lot of ZIP files (or compressed folders, as Windows XP calls them), the Search Companion will search through each of those as well, albeit more slowly.
To prevent the Search Companion from searching through compressed folders, either move all of them to the root folder and then configure the Search Companion
to search only the My Documents folder or dsable Windows XP's support for compressed folders. To disable this support, access the Run dialog box, type the command regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll in the Open text box and click OK. You'll then need to restart the system for the change to take effect. (To re-enable Windows XP's support for compressed folders, use the command regsvr32 zipfldr.dll.)

Upsere thing u can do to make ur Win XP run faster
You can make Windows XP boot faster by 5 - 15 seconds (on some machines).
To do so do the following:
Start Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
Locate the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\MemoryManagement\PrefetchParameters
Make sure you backup the keys by exporting them to a .reg file.
On the EnablePrefetcher value, change the setting from 3 to 5 (decimal).
Close the registry editor.
Restart your computer.
Note: Whatever you do DO NOT install a tool called BOOTVIS from Microsoft, unless you're absolutely sure of what you're doing and have good knowledge of the tool and it's use.
The more that is running on your computer the more your computer has to close on shut down. Keeping a slimmer running computer will not only make your computer run faster but it will make Windows shutdown faster. Here is how it’s done:
Go to the Start menu and then select Run. Type ‘services.msc’ in the Run Dialog Box and click on OK. In the services window double click on the service you wish to disable. In the properties box for the selected service choose disabled in the Startup Type dropdown box. Click on OK.-Disable "Error Reporting Service"-
In msconfig-Startup disable useless items. -Services tick at Hide All Microsoft Services.
Tip #2 - : If you have 512 megs or more of memory, you can increase system performance by having the core system kept in memory. BUT USE THIS WITH CAUTION! If it has an adverse effect, undo it and reboot.
1. Go to Start2. Run and then type in: regedit and click Ok3. Follow this string to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management3. Double click DisablePagingExecutive4. Set the value to be 15. Click Ok6. Restart your computer for this to take affect
Tip #3 - : Windows XP uses virtual memory that consists of a so-called swap file, which is a very large data file generated on your hard disk. The operating system uses this swap file to store its temporary data, when your PC runs out of physical memory. This occurs when you have many software programs open in your taskbar and/or when your PC is equipped with insufficient physical memory.
The usage of virtual memory affects system performance dramatically, because the data speed of a hard disk is much lower than the data speed of physical memory. You will notice a total slowdown of your system and an increase in hard disk activity if Windows XP is using the swap file instead of physical memory.
Upgrading this memory can be a good idea.but some mainboard an old pc that using windows xp as a platform is reach maximum 1GB memory of RAM only.that should be enough.Since Windows XP is a real memory-eating monster. They say a minimum of 128 MB is required to run it smoothly but it's not true. You need at least 512 MB or more for Windows XP to run smooth as a babies bottom.That why i hate Windows Vista.they say(bloody genuine microsoft) a minimum of 512MB of memory is required to run it.it's totally liar.Windows Vista is super eating-memory.you need at least 1Gb or more to make better performance.However, if your system is low on memory and your pc running slow,real slow,damn slow and you are using less then 512 MB of memory, just go and increase the virtual memory to a fixed size which will help matters enormously.
Follow these steps to alter the virtual memory settings:
1. Click on Start
2. Go to Settings
3. Click on Control Panel
4. Find System and double click on it to open it.
5. Click on the Advanced’tab in the System Properties window.
6. Click on the Settings button in the Performance field.
7. Click on the Change button in the Performance Options window.
8. You will now see the ‘Virtual Memory’ window:You can multiply the virtual memory size by 1.5 times the amount of physical memory. So if your system has 128 MB of physical memory, you can set the amount to 192 MB.meaning 128 x 1.5 is 192.
9. Click on the Custom size radio-button
10. Enter 192 in both the Initial size (MB) and Maximum size (MB) fields.
11. Click on the Set button
12. Ok button to apply your settings.
13. Reboot/Restart your computer.
Bagi aku nak run cun dlm Windows Vista mesti guna RAM 2GB.

To do so do the following:

MS Outlook startup crach always need to be restart.
The problem
Every time I’d start Outlook 2003 it would crash instantly with the message that the program has encountered an error and needed to restart every time it restarted the same error would return.Kekadang tu email yg sama jadi double dan berdouble2..Aku dah reinstall MS Office 2003 upsere bengang aku sama gak.Aku pun tanya la Abg.Google and i found this..Ada 2 cara 1 lagi cara susah tapi berhasil..
The solution
Easy way.
Masuk dlm webmail delete je email yg berdouble tadi tu pastu emptykan dlm box trash..
Hard way.
Create a new mail profile. Here’s how to do that step by step:
STEP 1. Navigate to START -> Control panel
STEP 2. If necessary, switch to classic view so it looks like the picture below and double mouse click on “mail”
STEP 3. Click on the “show profiles” button.
STEP 4. The default profile (for me) was called “Outlook” and that was the one that was messed up, so I needed to “add” a new one. Click the “Add” button.
STEP 5. Type in a name of your choice for the new profile. In my case I used my initials and the date because this way if it goes haywire again I’ll know how long this fix worked. In the example below I just typed “tdnewprofile” and clicked OK. You will then need to enter default email account information.
STEP 6. Make sure “prompt for profile to be used” is selected and choose OK. If it’s grayed out then you may need to select your new profile name from the dropdown box to change.
STEP 7. Start Outlook 2003. A prompt will appear asking you to choose the profile you want to use. Choose the new profile you created in STEP 5 and then, depending on if you have Business Contact Manager installed or not, rebuild the pst file and setup the new profile.
After that,aku try send test email..send and receive and problem gone..setel...

Things u should know about troubleshooting a slow PC.
PCs starup quickly,n programs seem to open in a snap.but overtime,the user begins to notice that the systems is slow or that it hangs up often.while the possible causes for system slowdown are endless,here they identified common troubleshooting areas u should examine first before u suggest to management that it's time for an upgrade.
1-SPYWARE n VIRUSES-Spyware n viruses pose a significant security threat,n they can also dramatically decrease computer performance.The first step when combating spyware should always be to scan the machine with UPDATED spyware detection/removal n antivirus software.Use these application to remove any detected infections.If the software scanners don't work,here are few other steps to try..checkitout..
#To Remove Spyware:-Identified n end suspicious processes with Windows Task Manager.-Identified n disable suspicious services with the Management Console.
-Identified n disable suspicious services n startup items with the System Configuration Utility.-Search n delete registry entries associated with suspicious services or startup items.
-Identify n delete suspicious files.
-Install n use multiple spyware detection n removal utilities.
Note:If the above techniques fail,start Windows in Safe Mode n retry.
#RAM(Random Access Memory)– Several situations can lead to a bad RAM relationship with a particular machine:
• RAM timing is slower than optimal machine spec.
• RAM has minor flaws that only appear on detailed testing.
• RAM is overheating.
#Failing hard disk – There may be many signs of imminent failure before a hard disk finally gives up, depending on the type of failure (mechanical, electronic, logical or firmware failure). Some of these signs include:• Slow access times on the affected drive.• An increasing number of bad sectors when running scandisk and chkdsk.• Unexplained Blue Screens.• Intermittent boot failures.

Shukord in Dirty Secrets about working in IT
Kalau korang nak jadi kan bidang IT sebagai kerjaya korang think again...many of "dirty secrets" yg korang tak tau dan jarang ada org yg nak berbual atau berfikir tentang nih...kalau korang otai IT(technician It atau Consultant IT) korang pasti berdepan ngan isu-isu nih..kebanyakan isu nih melibat kan org yg dlm professional skop - network admins,IT Consultant,Technical IT,IT Support,jarang mende nih menjadi isu IT programmers..sbb IT programmer nih power,terer diorang ada 'dirty secret'sendiri..checkitout..
I found all this in TechRepublic By Jason Hiner
-The pay in IT is good compared to many other
professions,but since they pay u well,they often think they
own u.
IT workers still make very good money compared to many
other professions if they do in freelance.And there is
every reason to believe that IT pros will continue to be in
demand in the coming decades,as technology continues to
play a growing role in business and society.However,because
IT pros can be so expensive,some companies treat IT pros
like they own them.If u have to answer a tech call at
9.00PM because someone is working late,you hear,"that just
part of the job."If u need to work six hour on a saturday
to deploy a software update to avoid downtime during
business hours,u get,"there's no comp time for that since
you're on salary.That why we pay u the big bucks!!
-It will be ur fault when users make silly errors
Some users will angrily snap at u when they frust.They will
yell,"what worng with this thing"or this computer is NOT
working" "what did u do to the computers?"infact the
problem is that they accidentally deleted the IE icon from
desktop or unplugged the network cable from the back of the
computer with their foot!!
-You'll go from goat to hero and back again
When u miraculously fix something that had been keeping
multiple employees from being able to work for the past 10
minutes and they don't realize how simple the fix really
was you will become the heroes orf the day..But they'll
conveniently forget about your hero a few hour later when
they have trouble printing because of a network
slowdown.you'll be enemy at the moment!!
-Your nontechnical co-workers will use you
Your co-workers,friends,neighbors will view u as their
personal tech support department for their home PCs and
home networks.They'll call u or stop by to talk about how
to deal with problem their home PCs.Some of them might even
ask you if they can bring in their home PC to the ur house
or office or bring u to their house to fix it.The polite
ones will offer to pay u,but some of them will just hope or
expect u can help them for free.Helping this folks can be
rewarding but u have to be careful about where to draw the
line and know when to decline.
