Nameless folder

Creat a new folder, and when asked to type in the name. Leave it blank.. as you can see it wont let you. However if you press 'alt 255' the folder will appear to not have a name

Scan and repair with OS disc

It simply replaces needed operating system files.(missing Dlls, etc.) It takes several minutes to accomplish its work, however. Perhaps as long as twenty minutes.

1. Click Start.

2. Click Run.

3. Type SFC /scannow in the run command slot. (Note: there is a space after SFC and that's a FORWARD slash in the middle, there.)

4. Press OK button below on run command menu box..

It will ask for your operating system disc/CD. Put it in your CD-ROM, and let it work.

This tweak appears harmless, and unlike some other tweaks, doesn't seem likely to challenge your system. It may help you when doing a spaced sequence of those things one does in order to 'cover your bases,' like chkdsk, ipconfig /flushdns, disk defragmenter, Disk properties file check with recovery of bad sectors, Comchec, DISKPERF -N, unchecking unneeded services in msconfig Start tab, etc.

This tip may not substitute for a full system repair, reinstall, update, or upgrade, however.

Rename a group of files or folders

Open the explorer folder that contains the files and do the following:

(be careful not to include any critical windows system files or folders when applying this technique. back up with system restore first if you're not sure. also, it only makes sense to apply it to files of the same type.)

1. Highlight the files and/or folders to be renamed (remember to hold down the CTRL key to select non-adjacent files); or hold CTRL-A to select all the files and folders in a given folder

2. Let the mouse hover over the file that you wish to be the first in the series

3. Hit the F2 key or Right-click and select "Rename"

4. Type in the new name for the batch of files you've selected (don't forget to type in the extension if needed, for example .mp3 or .jpg)

5. Hit the Enter key to change the names. The files will remain highlighted and should have sequential names like "rename (1).txt" and "rename (2).txt". If you're not satisfied, simply hit F2 or select "rename" again and do it over.

Faster browsing on the Internet or your Network

Faster browsing on the Internet or your Network

1. Find out which ip you would like to have a name for. It could be a website, a place on your network or anything else that got an ip-number. The localhost uses the ip 127.0.0.1. To find out a website's ip just type "ping www.website.com" (without the "")in the command prompt (start>run>cmd.exe). 

2. Browse to WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc. Open the file called hosts in notepad. 

3. Below "127.0.0.1 localhost" type the ip followed by a name. Read in the file itself for more information. 

4. If you for example type 216.239.51.99 search (the ip belongs to www.google.com) and saves the file, you will end up on google's site if you type search in the adress bar in your Internet Browser.

Quick launch to any application at run command

Go to your application/program command you want create. Example the Outlook Express. Usually you can type "msimn" and your Outlook Express will open. You can make it as "OE" only. 
Create a shortcut of the executable program also in the same location.  
Now, cut that shortcut that you created and paste it to your system folder WINDOWS. For Windows 98/ME, you should paste them in SYSTEM 32 folder. 
Rename them what ever ID you want. Example given is "OE" 
By typing OE in the run command, your Outlook express will launch as it normally does.
The good, if you remember all commands you created, you don't need going to start menu or desktop icons to launch any programs.
