Tips And Tricks!!

26th December, 2009

Well, in this case i am talking about your computer, you can obviously be a little smarter from your mates by doing some very simple things. There are few tricks which i can tell you:

Temporary files can make a hell lot of problem for you, you can minimize it to zero very easily and after that, just no need to bother about it. After you follow these simple steps, windows will automatically delete all the temporary files as soon as you start up your computer. Here are those steps:
1: Create a folder SysImp in for system drive (It generally is C:\ in most of the cases}.
2: Now open notepad, you can do this by:
2.1: Searching it somewhere in the start menu.
2.2: Or by opening 'Run' (Press windows key + r to open it, or you can see it directly as soon as you click on start button, if you use xp) and then typing in it : 'notepad.exe' or only 'notepad' (without
the quotes).
3: Now in the notepad text box, write:

"cd C:\

Users\%username%\

AppData\Local

Rmdir /S /Q Temp"

without the double quotes and replace the 'username' with the username of your system.

4: Now save it with the name "tempclean.bat" this time WITH the double quotes and at the folder which you just created (sysimp).
5: Now open the scheduled tasks in the control panel (xp) or the task scheduler (windows 7) and set this program (tempclean.bat) to execute in every reboot.
6: There you go, you should no more bother about your temporary folders.

IF USING WINDOWS 7, YOU CAN DEcrease the shutdown time by doing some simple steps:

Disclaimer: The author is not responsible for any damage whatsoever happened to your system by following the below trick. Readers follow this by their own will. The author also recommends backing up the registry before editing it through the system restore utility.

1: Open run, press windows key + r.
2: Now type regedit, this opens a registry editor window (after this, do exactly as written, as mishandling may lead to crashing of your system).
3: Now in the window, open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHILE, now move to SYSTEM, then move on to CONTROL, now see in the right side of the dialog box you will see WaitToKillTimeOutService. Right click and click on modify. Change the value from default 12000 (12 seconds) to 5000 (5 seconds). Close the editor and see yourself by shutting down your computer.
(Well, I recommend not decreasing the value less than 5000, as it can close many programs before it is saved.



Q: Then why the hell is it set to 12000? Will it not make problem to my system if I do this?
Ans: Well, thats because those Microsoft guys want to be at a safer side, and if you still think it can make problem, just reboot your computer and check the conditions of your system, if it doesn't look good, change it back to its original state! Easy.

Well, i think the length is increasing a bit, so thats all for now, more next time.
And yes, for all those guys who are more interested in the fact that where did I get all these... please sirjee... change your attitude!
