1]Disabling Display of Drives in My Computer
To disable the display of local or networked drives when you click My
Computer go to : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Policies\Explorer
Now in the right pane create a new DWORD item and name it
NoDrives. Now modify it's value and set it to 3FFFFFF (Hexadecimal)
Now press F5 to refresh. When you click on My Computer, no drives
will be shown. To enable display of drives in My Computer, simply
delete this DWORD item. It's .reg file is as follows:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersio
n\Policies\Explorer]
"NoDrives"=dword:03ffffff
2.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:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVers
ion\WinLogon
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:
LegalNoticeText. Modify it and insert the message you want to
display each time Windows boots. This can be effectively used to
display the company's private policy each time the user logs on to
his NT box. It's .reg file would be: REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVer
sion\Winlogon]
"LegalNoticeCaption"="Caption here."
3.Customizing the Right Click Context Menu of the Start Menu
When you right click on the start menu, only 3 options pop up:
Open, Explore, and Find. You can add your own programs to this
pop up menu( which comes up when we right click on it.) Open
Regedit and go to the following registry key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Shell
Right click on the shell and create a new Sub Key (You can create a
new SubKey by right clicking on the Shell Key and selecting New >
Key.). Type in the name of the application you want to add to the
start menu. I want to add Notepad to the Start Menu and hence I
name this new sub key, Notepad. Now right click on the new
registry key that you just created and create yet another new key
named Command. Enter the full path of the application, in this case
Notepad in the default value of Command in the right
pane. So I Modify the value of the default string value and enter the
full pathname of Notepad:
c:\wndows\notepad.exe.
Now press F5 to refresh. Now if you right click on the Start Button
you will find a new addition to the Pop Up Menu called Notepad.
4.There is away of accessing restricted
folders.DOS has a lovely command known
as START. Its general syntax is:
START application_path
It does do what it seems to do, start applications. So in you have
access to DOS then you can type in the START command to get
access to the restricted folder.
5. In Windows you can
create shortcuts to almost anything from a file, folder to a Web
URL.
c:\windows\system folder and you need to access it. What do you
do? Simply create a Shortcut to it. To do this right click anywhere
on the desktop and select New > Shortcut. A new window titled
Create Shortcut pops up. Type in the path of the restricted folder
you wish to access, in this case c:\windows\system. Click Next,
Enter the friendly name of the Shortcut and then click Finish. Now
you can access the restricted folder by simply double clicking on the shortcut icon6.Colorful Background
Don't like the boring background colors of Outlook Express? To
change it launch the Windows Registry Editor and scroll down to the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Mail And News
key.
On the left pane, click on ColorCycle or select Edit and Modify in the
menu. Now change the value to 1. Close and restart. Now, launch
Outlook Express and whenever you open up a New Message, hold
down ctrl-shift and tap the z key to scroll to change the background
color. Repeat the keystroke to cycle through the colors.
7.Deleting System Options from the Start menu
You can actually remove the Find and Run options from the start
menu by performing a simple registry hack. Again like always
Launch the registry editor and scroll down to the below key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Policies\Explorer
Right-click on the right pane and select New, DWORD Value. Name
it NoFind.(To remove the RUN option name it NoRun). Double-click
the newly create DWORD to edit it's value and enter 1 as its value.
This will disable the FIND option of the Start Menu and will also
disable the default Shortcut key(F3 for Find.)
To restore the Run or find command modify the value of the
DWORD to 0 or simply Delete the DWORD value.

9.Some users don't like having to log on to Windows XP. When they restart the computer, they want it
to boot all the way to the desktop without stopping at the Log On To Windows dialog box along the
way.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon is where you configure the
ability to log on to Windows XP automatically. First you set the REG_SZ value AutoAdminLogon to
1, which turns on this feature. Just remember that this is a REG_SZ value and not a REG_DWORD
value. Next set the values DefaultUserName and DefaultPassword to the user name and password
that you want to use to log on to the operating system. Both are REG_SZ values. Last, set the
REG_SZ value DefaultDomainName to the name of the domain that's authenticating your name and
password. Table below summarizes these values, which you create if they don't already exist.
Table ANJALI: Values in Winlogon
Name Type Data
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
AutoAdminLogon REG_SZ 0 | 1
DefaultUserName REG_SZ Name
DefaultDomainName REG_SZ Domain
DefaultPassword REG_SZ Password
