Open Word files faster

If you want to open the last used document in MS Word, you can use this command in Start | Run : winword /mfile1. This will open the last document. You can also use winword /mfile1 for second last file and so on up to last nine documents. So if you want to open this ninth last documents, type winword /mfile1. That's all...

Tweak Your Processor!

Windows XP is optimized for processors having 256KB of Level2 cache. However, many of today's processors have more than this. Find out how much Level2 cache your processor has and carry out the following tweak.

-Navigate to the registry branch HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\Memory Management.

-Create a new DWORD under this branch called 'SecondLevelDataCache' and assign it a value corresponding to the amount of your processor's Level2 cache (for example, 512 or 1024 in the case of 512KB or 1MB respectively.)

-Restart Windows and you will should see a further increase in performance of your system! Goodluck

Yup , nice proc tweak , only ive added a step in youre tweak.

Add Background Image in any folders/drives....its a lame technique:tongue: but it fun!

Step 1

Open any drives, or folders. Show hidden files first. Then right click--->New--->Text document. Paste this:-

..and save as desktop.ini. Overwrite the existing file if asked.

Step 2

Create a new folder in the same place you save the desktop.ini. Name it to Folder Settings. And then put any graphic you like in this folder and name it to background.jpg. Most important thing is, the resolution of the background image you've selected must be the same as the window size in the red framed area (picture 2). This can be measured using cropping feature in Photoshop or other graphic program. For example, the good size for the graphic with standard UI preset in 1024x768 desktop setting should be - 934x627. Depends on your desktop resolution.

Step 3
Select both, the new created folder and the *.ini file, set them to hidden. Then, in the folder option, set back to Dont show Hidden Files. So they wont annoy you when browsing your drive.

Achtung!!

Some folders wont works, especially when there are too many photos inside the folder (and I still dont know why). But for drives, on any drives even your USB thumb drive, it will work.. Im trying to apply this to animated GIF file, but the file is too big, and resource hungry maybe..

To copy screenshot to buffer, use shift-PrintScreen

CTRL+SHIFT+ESCAPE will bring up your task manager with priority.

If you have to move files from many folders to one folder, create a shortcut to the destination folder and cut it with CTRL+X, go to the first folder with the files you want to transfer and select all the files, then hit CTRL+V (paste) and move the selected files into the shortcut. Cut the shortcut again and repeat in the next folder. Make sure you select your files first so that you don't have to worry about accidentally selecting the shortcut.

windows key and L will switch user.
