In my opinion there is nothing "much" wrong with
Windows, ok, so it has its bugs, but doesn't everything. I may be in a chat room and
here all these kiddies going, MaN WiNdOzE SuX0Rs d00D, iT So FuX0rIn CrAp, and yet I bet
90% of these kids are there, using the product. (they only say this to look big,
wanna look big say i use win95 and am proud ;)) Win95 was alright, Win98, just a
service pack for Win95. WinNT is a nice product, it has a much better kernal and
things run abit more smoothly. With winNT, you have more control over what you are
doing, this is because win95/98 were designed for "mr and mrs joe user" - but
they have alot of hidden goodies in there ;) On this page I hope to talk to you abit windows. Windows is very easy to configure, just pointing and clicking really - most of the stuff is, guess what, in the manual!!! Here is some of the stuff that is not menchioned or hard to find. I take it you use the control panel alot, yeah me too, I get annoyed at having to always go through many sets of folders just to get to the applets. Lets make a handy shortcut to them.
Pretty good huh ? Did you ever wonder what the startup menu was on in your programs folder ? Put any programs that you want to load when you start windows and whala, they load. Did you know from the screen It is now safe to turn off your computer, you can just type win and it starts back up again! When windows is loading and you see there welcome screens, you can push esc to see what they are hiding!! Want to change them screens ? Goto Start, Find, Files and folders, and search for files called lo.sys, logo.sys and logow.sys. These are the 3 screens that you see. To find them you may need to goto explorer, view, options, select show all file types and uncheck, hide extentions for know file types. You then open up them free files in ms paint and edit them to your pleasure. Wanna change the menu buttons like file and insert ? You can do this if ou are lucky. Well some programs write this into the registry. All you gotta do is find it and change!! For example, goto Start, Run, and then type regedt32. Bring the window, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to the top and click software, then go rooting through all your software entries looking for them. They could be there, they may not, go a hunting!! You can also do ctrl + alt + del to get past a locked screen saver !! Heres a few keyboard shortcuts:- Taking advantage on those with File & Print sharing
enabled on their machines (the poor souls) I hope you read up in secruity on how to disable that. Ok, so you suspect your
friend has File & Print Sharing enabled. But how the hell do you take advantage
of that. Well it is easy, so I easy I am embarrased to tell you. You now get the contents of that persons harddrive at your
mercy or some stupid error message. Either that person doesn't have File & Print
sharing enabled or you are missing some network services. Go to the properties of
networking, (either through the control panel applet or right clicking on network
neighboorhood). Click the services tab and go to add. Select Microsoft
Networking. Install that and let it do its thing a reboot. Type inthe ip addy
again and whala. A tool that can scan for open machines can be found here. It is called WinHack Gold Have Fun !! Don't flame me, this wasn't wrote for you almightly k-rad unix guru
