Best keyboard shortcut

Getting used to using your keyboard exclusively and leaving your
mouse behind will make you much more efficient at performing any task on
any Windows system. I use the following keyboard shortcuts every day:

Windows key + R = Run menu

This is usually followed by:
cmd = Command Prompt
iexplore + "web address" = Internet Explorer
compmgmt.msc = Computer Management
dhcpmgmt.msc = DHCP Management
dnsmgmt.msc = DNS Management
services.msc = Services
eventvwr = Event Viewer
dsa.msc = Active Directory Users and Computers
dssite.msc = Active Directory Sites and Services
Windows key + E = Explorer

ALT + Tab = Switch between windows

ALT, Space, X = Maximize window

CTRL + Shift + Esc = Task Manager

Windows key + Break = System properties

Windows key + F = Search

Windows key + D = Hide/Display all windows

CTRL + C = copy

CTRL + X = cut

CTRL + V = paste

Also don't forget about the "Right-click" key next to the right Windows
key on your keyboard. Using the arrows and that key can get just about
anything done once you've opened up any program.

How To Add A Url Address Bar To The Taskbar

You can add an Internet URL address bar to your Windows XP taskbar.
Doing so will let you type in URLs and launch Web pages without first
launching a browser. It will also let you launch some native Windows XP
applications in much the same way as you would via the Run menu (so you
could type in calc to launch the calculator or mspaint to launch
Microsoft Paint. Here's how you add the address bar:

1. Right-click on the taskbar, select Toolbars, and then click Address.

2. The word Address will appear on your taskbar.

3. Double click it to access it.

4. If that doesn't work, your taskbar is locked. You can unlock it by
right-clicking on the taskbar again and uncheck Lock the Taskbar.

NOTE: You may also need to grab the vertical dotted lines beside the
word Address and drag it to the left to make the Address window appear.

How to Remove WinXP Splash and See Operations

Are you having boot up problems and would like to know what it going on
behind that Windows Loading Logo? To find out, you can disable the
splash screen by making a small change to the Boot.ini file.

Follow these steps (carefully!):

1. Open the "System Properties" dialog box ( Settings - Control Panel -
System)

2. On the Advanced tab, click the Settings button in the "Startup And
Recovery" section.

3. In the "Startup And Recovery" dialog box, select the Edit button in
the "System Startup" section.

4. The Boot.ini file will open in Notepad; locate the line that ends
with the /fastdetect switch.

5. Position your cursor to the right after the parameter, press the
spacebar, and add the /SOS switch.

6. Save the Boot.ini file, and close Notepad.

7. Click Cancel to close both the "Startup And Recovery" dialog box and
the "System Properties" dialog box.

8. Restart the computer to see the effect.

Once the computer restarts you will notice that the Windows Splash
Screen is no longer present. Instead you can observe some of the boot up
operations that Windows XP performs during the startup stage.

To renable the splash screen, follow the same procedure but remove the
"/SOS".

How To Convert File System, fat - fat32 to ntfs

open a dos prompt and give the command

convert d: /fs:ntfs

this command would convert your d: drive to ntfs.

if the system cannot lock the drive, you will be prompted to convert it
during next reboot.

Normally you should select yes.

Conversion from fat/fat32 to ntfs is non-destructive, your data on the
drive will NOT be lost.

Be aware that converting to ntfs will make that partition of your
drive unreadable under dos unless you have ntfs utilites to do so.
