91. Menghentikan pencarian floppy disk drive
Dalam konfigurasi standar,Windows selalu melakukan pendeteksian floppy disk drive baru setiap kali melakukan start. Karena biasanya tidak ada yang berubah pada drive tersebut, Anda dapat mematikan option tersebut agar start Windows berjalan lebih cepat.Bukalah "Properties"-nya melalui klikkanan pada My Computer.
Klik pada"Performance |File System" dan pilih tab"Floppy Disk".
Deaktivasi option "Searchfor new floppy disk drives each time your computer starts."dan konfirmasikan denganmengklik "OK".
92. Menonaktifkan Scandisk
Bila Anda tidak men-shutdown Windows melalui Start menu sebagaimana mestinya, pada start Windows berikutnya Scandisk otomatis dijalankan dan memeriksa hard disk apakah terdapat file-file yang rusak.
Bila Scandisk bagi Anda terlalu lambat, matikan saja fungsiotomatisasi Windows ini. Masukkan perintah"msconfig" pada "Run" dalam Start menu dan buka "System ConfigurationUtility" dengan menekan [Enter].
Klik"Advanced" dalam tab "General" dan aktifkanoption "Disable Scandisk after badshutdown". Tutuplah semua jendela yang aktif dengan "OK" dan lakukan start ulang Windows.
93. Meniadakan pencarian yang tak perlu saat start Windows 95, 98, Me
Saat start, Windows mencari file WINSTART.BAT dan menjalankan perintahnya secara otomatis. Ia
akan memeriksa semua drive hard disk untuk menemukan file tersebut. Akibatnya aktivitas tersebut menghambat proses bootWindows. Karena itu buatlah sebuah filekosong WINSTART.BAT dalam folder
C:\\WINDOWS (folder default Windows9x) atau C:\\WINME (folder default WindowsMe) dengan editor Notepad. Dengandemikian start Windows berlangsung lebih cepat beberapa detik, tergantung kecepatan hard disk yang terpasangdi PC Anda.
94. Tips Acces 2000 - Mengubah autoselect
Secara default, ketika Anda mendatangi sebuah field yang sudah mengandung data dengan tombolTab, data pada field tersebut akan langsung diseleksi.
Jika Anda lengsung mengetikkan suatu karakter, data yang lama akan langsung ditimpa. Jika Anda hanya ingin mengedit sebuah karakter yang salah ketik, Anda terpaksa harus meraih mouse dan mengklik sekali pada field itu, atau
menekan F2 untuk mengaktifkan mode Edit.Untuk melakukannya, pilihlah menu Tools*--->Options, lalu klik pada tab Keyboard.
Pada bidang Behaviour entering field (sebelah kanan atas), pilihlah Go to start of field atau Go to End of field, untuk menggantikan pilihan Select entire field.
Sekarang, ketika Anda memasuki sebuah field yang sudah mengandung data dengan tombol Tab, isi field tersebut tidak lagi akan diseleksi.
95. Define a logical value for System Cache
Depending upon how you intend to use your computer (like a workstation or server ), it may make sense to set the system cache. Open registry by going to START-RUN and entering regedit.
Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM \\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Session Manager\\Memory Management] .
In this look for value of "LargeSystemCache".
If available, do one of the following:
If intention is to use the computer like a workstation, set its value to 0.
If intention is to use the computer like a server, set its value to 1.
96. Control parsing of autoexec.bat
In Window 3.1 autoexec.bat was one of the few choices of executing any app at boot time. But its importance has gradually thinned. It is still supported but you can pretty much do without it for most part.
If you do not need to parse the autoexec.bat (there may not be anything in it anyway !), you can tell Windows XP to do that. Open registry by going to START-RUN and entering regedit.
Navigate to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\Winlogon] .
In this look for value of "ParseAutoexec".
If available, do one of the following:
If you want to disable parsing of autoexec.bat, set its value to 0.
If you want to enable parsing of autoexec.bat, set its value to 1.
97. Disable XP to open the compressed zipped folder
I am comfortable with the default capability that Windows XP provides to unzip the
zipped/compressed files/folders. But if you are used to winzip/pkzip or any other third vendor software, it may make sense to avoid confusion by disabling default unzipper code in windows.
To do this go to START-RUN and entering "regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll" (without quotes). To enable it go to START-RUN and entering "regsvr32 zipfldr.dll" (without quotes).
98. Automatically kill non-responding application at shutdown
Remember this ! It happens to all of us invariably sometime or the other no matter what you do.
Don't you hate waiting for those extra seconds and then simply responding yes to the windows query. Well you have a remedy. You can tell Windows XP to automatically close all non responding windows.
Open registry by going to START-RUN and entering regedit.
Navigate to [HKEY_USERS\\.DEFAULT\\Control Panel\\Desktopn] .
In this look for value of "AutoEndTasks". If available, do one of the following:
If you want to enable automatic killing of non responding tasks, set its value to 1. to disable it set it back to 0.
99. Improve Shutdown.
Lets not save your active session's settings on exit If you Don't care which windows app was located where when you are shutting down the system, this tip may in fact help improve the shutdown time a bit (a bit not too much)..Simply inform windows not
to save the settings at exit time. To do this , open registry by going to START-RUN and entering regedit.
Navigate to
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Policies\\Explorer] . In this look for value of "NoSaveSettings".
If available, do one of the following:
If you want to enable no save on exit, set its value to 1 else to save on exit. set it back to 0.
100. Disable use of Win key
I am not sure why you would ever want to do this except probably if you do not have a windows enabled keyboard but here is the tip anyway (tip for the sack of tip !!!!).
To disable use of Win key,open registry by going to START-RUN and entering regedit.
Navigate to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Keyboard Layout] . In this look for value of "Scancode Map".
Its binary data so be extra careful:
Set its value to "00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 03 00 00 00 00 00 5B E0 00 00 5C E0 00 00 00 00" to disable the win key.
