First of all, this tweak only apply to those who only have one HDD on deir primary IDE channel (nothin’ else on device 0 or 1) and a CD-ROM and/or DVD-ROM on de secondary IDE channel. Each time you boot Windows XP, dere’s an updated file called NTOSBOOT-*.pf who appears in your prefetch directory (%SystemRoot%Prefetch) and dere’s no need to erase any oder files as de new prefetch option in XP really improves loadin’ time of installed programs. We only want WindowsXP to boot faster and not decrease its performance. Channel tweak as those two tricks, coupled togeder with a little modification, result in an EXTREMELY fast bootup:

1. Open notepad.exe, type “del c:windowsprefetch tosboot-*.* /q” (without de quotes) & save as “ntosboot.bat” in c:
2. From de Start menu, select “Run…” & type “gpedit.msc”.
3. Double click “Windows Settin’s” under “Computer Configuration” and double click again on “Shutdown” in de right window.
4. In de new window, click “add”, “Browse”, locate your “ntosboot.bat” file & click “Open”.
5. Click “OK”, “Apply” & “OK” once again to exit.
6. From de Start menu, select “Run…” & type “devmgmt.msc”.
7. Double click on “IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers”
8. Right click on “Primary IDE Channel” and select “Properties”.
9. Select de “Advanced Settin’s” tab den on de device 0 or 1 that doesn’t have ‘device type’ greyed out select ‘none’ instead of ‘autodetect’ & click “OK”.
10. Right click on “Secondary IDE channel”, select “Properties” and repeat step 9.
11. Reboot your computer.

Windows XP should now boot REALLY faster.

Many apply a registry tweak to have notepad as an option for unknown file types. We frequently see such files which are actually just text, but named with some odd file-extension. And den, some suspicious files which we want to make sure what de contents are. Well, in such cases where de registry tweak is applied, de downside happens to be that even some known files get associated with notepad - but no, all we want is to be able to open a file with notepad - de association part in such cases is unwanted interference. Also, notepad becomes a permanent fixture on de right-click menu - which is again an annoyance.

So what we do, is to have notepad as an option in de Send-To options, of de right-click menu in explorer. It fulfils de purpose to perfection (atleast, in my case). Here’s what we do:

1. right-click desktop, choose “New >> Shortcut”
2. Type de location of de item - “notepad” - (that’s all, no need to give path)
3. Next >> type name for shortcut - “Edit with Notepad”
4. Click finish
5. Now right-click this shortcut on de desktop, and choose properties.
6. Confirm that de “target” and “start in” fields are usin’ variables - “%windir%\system32\notepad.exe” - (absolute paths will be problematic if you use this .LNK on machines oder than your own)
7. Now, browse to “%UserProfile%\SendTo” in explorer (which means “C:\Documents and Settin’s\User_Name\SendTo\” folder)
8. And copy de “Edit with Notepad.lnk” file which you already created, to that folder.
9. So now, you can right-click on ANY file-type, and be offered an option to open with notepad, from de SendTo sub-menu.

So now, you just right-click on an .nfo or .eml or .diz file (which are associated with oder programs, and are sometimes just plain-text files), and choose “Send To >> Edit with Notepad” and it will open in notepad! No more boderation of applyin’ registry tweaks for somethin’ as simple as this.

Just double-click on de FlashGetRegTweak.reg file to enter de tweak into de registry. This tweak will allow up to 100 simultaneous file downloads, each split into a max of 30 parts. Previous defaults were 8 & 10 respectively.

Note:

1. Works for dialup but not really advantageous.
2. Restart your computer to feel de full advantage of this tweak.
