Nabil & Anwar's Expression: 2011

Do you like your name or characters name? Well now, if you like to 'Display Any Name on Your Start Button'. Why don't you have a go doing this thing which is very simple thing to do. This changes will makes your start button have a name/the thing you write down.

First of all, you need a freeware called 'Resources Hacker'. This freeware is 100% legal and there is no such things as virus or malwares etc. This program utility help you to view, modify, rename, add, delete and extract resources in 32bit Windows executables and resource files (*.res). It incorporates an internal resource script compiler and decompiler and works on Win95, Win98, WinME, WinNT, Win2000 and WinXP operating systems. The part we need is just for compiling.
Ok, now to the work. To change your start button name you need to do the following:

Go to start
Go to (C:\WINDOWS)
Search for explorer.exe(its shows an icon of a computer)
Now, copy and paste to a temporary file
Name it, your choice i.e family(the start button will apply to what this is called)
Open Resource Hacker
Click file then click open
Now get the renamed explorer.exe
Click ok
Ok, from the left hand side click '+' on string table
Select 37
Then 1033
There a word start somewhere on right hand side, erase 'start' and put the renamed explorer.exe i.e blue
Click compile file
Then save it
Go to regedit(Start->Run->type in regedit
Now, go to(My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\microsoft\Windows NT\Currentversion\Winlogon)
When clicking 'Winlogon', don't click the '+' just click on the word
On the right hand side show some list of different file
Search for a file called 'Shell' and click it
Windows will pop-up
On the 'value data' type in the renamed explorer.exe i.e blue
Click ok
Exit & reboot

After you reboot, you will see the start button have change. It will show the name you've written. Now do you feel good for your hard work? if you do, keep changing the name.

Modify UAC's Level of Security in Windows 7

UAC stands for ‘User Account Control’. it actually the setting for your computer. Recently, vista have a really bad setting which whenever you open or installed anything, annoying prompt will pop-up. But now, for windows 7, you can modify the setting to work how you want it to. To change your setting you need to do the following instructions:

Go to the Control Panel > User Accounts and Family Safety.
Click User Accounts, then click Change User Account Control settings.
From the screen that appears, use the slider to select the level of protection you want.

Now of course, you have to choose the setting you want. To know what it do just read on.

Here are the four levels and what they means:

Always Notify Me- This level is the classic level. It is Vista’s annoying UAC. Whenever you installed or make change to a program, a prompt appeared.
Default- Notify you when you make changes to a program. It mean it will not be annoying at all. Also, when you make changes, the screen goes dark like the old vista.
Default(No Dim Screen)- This level is actually same as default but your screen will not go dark. This also presents it can give you a risk because it could allow viscous program.
Never Notify- This means it will completely turned off. And this is not recommended for most users

When you finish selecting the level you want. You may need to reboot to make this effect to take place. This is a big advantage for Windows 7 users because they don't have to do complex task.

We usually think that it is time to replace or upgrade our computer. However, one of the common problem slowing down your computer is because of all the unnecessary entries.

It is highly ranked not just because its free and readily to be downloaded, it's search engine performs two complete scans - standard scans done by all registry cleaner that identifies and eliminates unwanted files in the registry.

Windows Logo+Left
Snap to the left hand side of the screen

Windows Logo+Right

I also found how to make shortcuts to open your programs from the microsoft's website, It will be worth learning about it below.

You can create keyboard shortcuts to open programs. Before you get started, you need to create a shortcut for the program to which you want to assign a keyboard shortcut. To do this, open the folder that contains the program's executable file, right-click it, and then click Create Shortcut. For more information about creating shortcuts to programs, seeCreate or delete a shortcut.

Locate the shortcut to the program that you want to create a keyboard shortcut for.
Right-click the shortcut, and then click Properties.
In the Shortcut Properties dialog box, click the Shortcut tab.
Click in the Shortcut key box, press the key on your keyboard that you want to use in combination with Ctrl+Alt (keyboard shortcuts automatically start with Ctrl+Alt), and then click OK. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
If you're using a program that also has a keyboard shortcut using the same key combination as the shortcut you just created, then your shortcut might not work.

Windows XP Guide to increase performance.

If you have a slow PC or computer, I'm pretty sure what you are thinking of all day, making it faster. With lack of experience, you could have problems doing it. So, I'm just gonna show you what I learnt from the past to make my computer faster. I did find it difficult to understand the first time, so I decided to transform it into our language, standard language. To make it even more easier, I've chunk it up to step by step instructions. It will gives you better performance and it may involves getting rid of nice themes into ancient ones.

The Way:

Remove your font for speed, this will give you a little bit of speed. Especially 'TrueType', if you struggle to find it its the green 0 which have bracket on their word say 'TrueType'. Create a new folder where you can put it, in case if you need other fonts. You could called the folder 'FontsBackup'

Open control panel(classic view)
Open fonts folder
Move fonts you don't need to a temporary directory (e.g. C:\FontsBackup) just in case you need or want to bring a few of them back. The more fonts you uninstall, the more system resources you will gain.
Remove the desktop picture can make it faster because it consumes fair amount of memory and can slow down your system. Removing it can improve your performance. You don't have to remove your desktop background if you don't want to.

Right click on desktop and select properties
Select the desktop tab
In the background window select none
Click ok
You do recognise when you searching a file through my computer it takes a bit of delay. This is because Windows XP search network folders and printer everytime you open Windows Explorer which take a bit of time. To really speed up this kind of problem, do the following
Click start then select my computer
Click tools menu at the top bar
Then select the view tab
Unchecked the Automatically search for network folders and printers check box
Click Apply
Click ok
Reboot
Windows XP can look nice but viewing your all visual items can waste the time delay and your system resources. To Optimise:

Go to Start
Click Control Panel
Click System
Click Advanced tab
In the Performance tab click Settings
Leave only the following ticked:
- Show shadows under menus
- Show shadows under mouse pointer
- Show translucent selection rectangle
- Use drop shadows for icons labels on the desktop
- Use visual styles on windows and buttons
If you give your pagefile a fixed size it saves the operating system from needing to resize the page file.

Right click on My Computer and select Properties
Select the Advanced tab
Under Performance choose the Settings button
Select the Advanced tab again and under Virtual Memory select Change
Highlight the drive containing your page file and make the initial Size of the file the same as the Maximum Size of the file.
Windows XP sizes the page file to about 1.5X the amount of actual physical memory by default. While this is good for systems with smaller amounts of memory (under 512MB) it is unlikely that a typical XP desktop system will ever need 1.5 X 512MB or more of virtual memory. If you have less than 512MB of memory, leave the page file at its default size. If you have 512MB or more, change the ratio to 1:1 page file size to physical memory size.
