send more tips to me! To change the name of the Recycle Bin desktop icon, open Regedit and go to: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/CLSID/{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} and change the name "Recycle Bin" to whatever you want (don't type any quotes). Create a Password Reset Disk If you’re running Windows XP Professional as a local user in a workgroup environment, you can create a password reset disk to log onto your computer when you forget your password. To create the disk: 1.Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click User Accounts. 2.Click your account name. 3.Under Related Tasks, click Prevent a forgotten password. 4.Follow the directions in the Forgotten Password Wizard to create a password reset disk. 5.Store the disk in a secure location, because anyone using it can access your local user account. Hide 'User Accounts' from users Go to Start/Run, and type: GPEDIT.MSC Open the path User Config Admin Templates Control Panel doubleclick "Hide specified Control Panel applets"put a dot in 'enabled', then click 'Show"click Add button, type "nusrmgt.cpl" into the add box AVI File Fix in Windows XP If you have any AVI files that you saved in Windows 9x, which have interference when opened in Windows XP, there is an easy fix to get rid of the interference: Open Windows Movie Maker. Click View and then click Options. Click in the box to remove the check mark beside Automatically create clips. Now, import the movie file that has interference and drag it onto the timeline. Then save the movie, and during the re-rendering, the interference will be removed. If you work in a multiuser computing environment, and you have full (administrator level) access to your computer, you might want to restrict unauthorized access to your "sensitive" files under Windows 95/98. One way is to disable the Cancel button in the Logon dialog box.Just run Regedit and go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Network/Logon Create the "Logon" subkey if it is not present on your machine: highlight the Network key - right-click in the left hand Regedit pane - select New - Key - name it "Logon" (no quotes) - press Enter. Then add/modify a DWORD value and call it "MustBeValidated" (don't type the quotes). Double-click it, check the Decimal box and type 1 for value. Now click the Start button - Shut Down (Log off UserName) - Log on as a different user, and you'll notice that the Logon Cancel button has been disabled.

thanks for your tips! here is mine; to speed up your pc booting,disable some services that you don't use ever.there are many services that automatically start with windows.you can disable them by "service.msc" command.type this command to "run" then disable the services you don't want anymore.please read carefully before disabling.for example "printer"service can be disable ,if you don't have a printer!
