Windows Xp Tips & Tricks
Speed up menu display
Microsoft Windows XP uses many visual effects to provide a rich, friendly interface. One of these settings allows menus to fade into view when you open them. This visual effect is so smooth that you may never have noticed it; however, the effect does cause menus to take a little longer to appear.On a fast computer, this shouldn’t be an issue. But on a computer that isn’t responding as quickly as you’d like, you can make menus display faster.
To speed up menu display
1.
Click Start. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
My Computer shortcut menu with Properties selected
2.
Click the Advanced tab. In the Performance area, click Settings.
System Properties dialog box Advanced tab with Settings button selected
3.
On the Visual Effects tab in the Performance Options dialog box, clear the Fade or slide menus into view check box.
Visual Effects tab in Performance Options dialog box with Fade or slide menus into view selected
4.
Click OK.
5.
In the System Properties dialog box, click OK.
Advanced tab in System Properties dialog box with OK selected
Now when you click a menu, it will appear almost instantly.
Set your windows so they all have the same view
Published: September 7, 2006
Microsoft Windows XP lets you show the contents of folders in a variety of ways, such as a simple or detailed list of the files, or as thumbnail images. Each folder in My Computer or My Documents can have its own view. That’s useful for folders like My Music or My Pictures, because you can look at your digital photos in Thumbnails or Filmstrip view, and see your song titles in Tiles view. But changing the view for every folder can be time-consuming.
If you prefer to have all your folder contents displayed in a particular way, you can save yourself some time by changing the view for all the folders on your computer at once.
To set your windows so they all have the same view
1. Click Start, and then click My Documents.
Start menu with My Documents selected
2. Click the Views button, and then click the view you want to apply to all folders.
Note: For more information about views, read Specify how folders open.
My Documents window with Views menu displayed
3. Click Tools, and then click Folder Options.
Tools menu with Folder Options selected
4. Click the View tab, and then click Apply to All Folders.
View tab in Folder Options window
5. Click Yes.
Folder views dialog box
6. Click OK.
View tab in Folder Options window with OK button selected
The next time you open a folder, it will be displayed using the view you chose. To restore your original folder settings, repeat steps 1-3. Then, in step 4, click Reset All Folders.
If all the walls in your home are white, stop reading. If you’ve never accessorized an outfit, customized your car, or pierced your body, this article isn’t for you. But if you like adjusting your environment to fit your mood and sense of style, you’ll likely enjoy the number of ways Microsoft Windows XP lets you change the look of your operating system.
You can change everything at once by choosing a theme. There are themes for hundreds of movies, TV shows, sports teams, games, cars, musicians, and anything else people get enthusiastic about. Or you can totally customize the appearance of Windows XP by tuning individual settings.
How to change the theme
Themes can change every aspect of your computer’s appearance, including colors, sounds, pointers, and the desktop background. To change your theme, first find one that appeals to you. The Microsoft Download Center has many themes, or you can search the Web. To find a theme on a particular topic, search for “Download XP Themes topic.” After you download a theme, just install it as you would any other program.After you’ve installed a theme, you can change it manually.
To change a theme
1. Right-click your desktop, and then click Properties.
Desktop shortcut menu with Properties selected
2. In the Display Properties dialog box, click the Themes tab. Click the Theme list, and then select the theme you want to use.
Theme drop-down box on the Themes tab in Display Properties dialog box
3. Windows XP shows a preview of the theme. If you like how the preview looks, click OK. Otherwise, click Cancel. Go back to step 2 and choose another theme.
Themes tab in Display Properties dialog box with OK button selected
The new theme takes effect immediately.

6. In the Advanced Appearance dialog box, click the Item list to select what aspect of the appearance you want to change. The most important items are:
• 3D Objects. The color of buttons and windows.
• Desktop. The color of your desktop if you don’t have a picture.
• Active Title Bar. The color, size, and font on the title bar of the window you’re currently using. You can fade between two different colors.
• Icon. The size and font of the icons on your desktop.
• Inactive Title Bar. The color, size, and font on the title bar of the windows you aren’t currently using. You can fade between two different colors.
• Menu. The size of the text in menus.
• Scrollbar. The width of scrollbars.
• ToolTip. The size of text that appears when you hover your pointer over an object.
After you’ve set all your Advanced Appearance settings, click OK.
Advanced Appearance dialog box with OK button selected
7. In the Display Properties dialog box, click Apply to test your settings. Click Cancel, and return to step 5 to change any settings you don’t like.

If you get tired of your computer’s new look, you can always change the theme again, or you can select the Windows XP theme to return to the familiar blue. If other people in your home use your computer but don’t share your sense of style, you can set up accounts for each of them. Then everyone can have a look all their own.
Work with shortcuts
You can’t be in more than one place at a time, but—with shortcuts—your files can. Shortcuts are links to programs, documents, files, or Web sites that you can add to your desktop or Start menu. Rather than searching through folders or the Internet every time you want to open a particular file or Web site, simply create a shortcut.You may not know it, but you use shortcuts all the time. When you click the Start menu, every icon you see is a shortcut. The icons on your desktop are also shortcuts. Without these shortcuts (which are created by Windows or the programs you install), you would have to do a lot of extra work every time you wanted to open a program or empty your recycle bin.
You open a shortcut exactly as you would open a file: by double-clicking it. When you open a shortcut, Windows locates and opens the original file. If you delete the shortcut, the original file is still right where it was.
Find out how to:
• Add a shortcut to your desktop.
• Add a shortcut to your Start menu.
• Add a shortcut that links to a Web site.
• Change a shortcut icon.
How to add a shortcut to your
desktop
If you use your desktop frequently, you should consider adding shortcuts to your favorite files to your desktop.To add a shortcut to a file on your desktop
1. Browse your My Documents folder and subfolders to find the file you want to create a shortcut for.
2. Right-click the file you want to link to from your desktop, click Send To, and then click Desktop.
File shortcut menu with Send To selected and Desktop selected on submenu
Your file stays in the same place, but you now have a shortcut to that file on your desktop. Notice that the icon on your desktop has an arrow in the lower-left corner. This arrow indicates that you are clicking a shortcut and not the actual file.

If your desktop gets cluttered with too many shortcuts, you can organize and clean up your desktop.

How to change the icons in your shortcuts
Shortcuts include a picture called an icon, which can help you find a program or file faster. For example, the My Computer shortcut shows a computer icon, and the Recycle Bin shortcut shows a trash can icon.Examples of shortcut icons
When you change your Windows theme, the new theme might include a set of custom icons that complement the look of the new desktop. For example, a jungle theme might change your My Computer icon to a giraffe. If you want, you can change one or more icons to something more interesting to you.
The method for changing an icon depends on the icon type. You can:
• Change a system icon.
• Change any other icon on your computer.
How to change system icons
To change system icons1. Right-click your desktop, and then click Properties.
Desktop shortcut menu with Properties selected

Increase the clarity of text
You can make text much easier to read on your computer screen by enabling ClearType. This technology, included with Microsoft Windows XP, changes the way fonts look on your screen to make them easier to read. The following sample shows standard text on the left and ClearType text on the right.Example of standard text on left and ClearType text on right

ClearType improves the clarity of most fonts; however, there are several fonts that do not support this technology. You can still use those fonts—they just won’t look as clear to you as those that support ClearType.
Customize your Start menu
The Start menu is the gateway to your programs, your computer’s settings, and the Internet. Over time, however, the Start menu can get so cluttered that you have to work to find what you need. If you’ve ever stared at your All Programs menu for more than a second trying to find a program, it’s time to organize it.To make your Start menu more manageable, you can:
• Pin (or attach) commonly used programs to the Start menu
• Reorganize the folders in your All Programs menu
The sections that follow describe each of these techniques. Even if you have just a few minutes to spare, read the first section—it will save you time over the long run.
Pin commonly used programs to the Start menu
If you have a hard time finding applications in your All Programs menu, you can “pin” your favorite applications to the Start menu (you are actually pinning the applications’ icons to the Start menu). This way, they will appear in the Start menu when you click the Start button. Then you can start the application with just two mouse clicks—without opening the All Programs menu.
To pin a program to the Start menu
1. Click the Start button.
Start menu
2. Click All Programs.
All Programs item on Start menu
3. Right-click the program you want to pin to the Start menu, and then click Pin to Start menu.
Program name selected and Pin to Start menu selected
The program appears on the upper-left side of the Start menu. To start the program, click the Start button, and then click the program.
To remove (or unpin) a program icon that you’ve pinned to the Start menu
1. Click the Start button.
Start menu
2. Right-click the program you want to remove from the Start menu, and then click Unpin from Start menu.
Program selected and Unpin from Start menu selected
Reorganize the folders in your All
Programs menu
When you install a new program, Microsoft Windows XP adds it to the bottom of your All Programs menu. That’s like a library shelving books according to when they were published—you might have a hard time finding the one you’re looking for. Luckily, you have total control over the organization of your All Programs menu; you just need to take a minute and arrange it.To reorganize your All Programs menu
1. Right-click the Start button, and then click Explore.
Start button shortcut menu with Explore selected
Windows XP opens an Explorer window showing your Start menu.
In the Programs subfolder, you can create organizational folders, such as Games, Media, and Internet. Later, you can move programs into those folders according to their categories.
2.
Create a subfolder of the Programs folder:
• a. Click Programs.
Start menu window with Programs subfolder displayed beneath Start menu folder
• b. Click the File menu, click New, and then click Folder.
Programs window with path to create new folder from File menu displayed
• c. Type a name for the folder, and then press ENTER.
Programs window with new folder displayed
• d. Repeat steps a-c to add more organizational folders, if needed.
3. Now that you have created your organizational folders, you can move programs into those folders:
• a. Click the Programs folder.
Programs window with Programs folder selected
• b. In the right pane, drag the program icon or folder you want to move into your organizational folder.
Program icon being moved to a folder
• c. Repeat steps a-b to move more programs, if needed.
Now, browse through your All Programs menu to test your new organization. You may see programs in your All Programs menu that did not appear in the Explorer window. These programs were installed for anyone who uses your computer, while the programs you organized in steps 1-3 were installed for just your user account.
To organize the programs that all users can access
1. Right-click the Start button, and then click Explore All Users.
Start button shortcut menu with Explore All Users selected
2. Follow the steps outlined in the preceding section, beginning with step 2.
You may notice that programs reappear in the Start menu after you have moved them. When you install a program update, the update will sometimes restore the original links. You can safely delete these links by right-clicking them in the All Programs menu and then clicking Delete. The links from your customized Programs folders will remain intact.
All Programs item selected for deletion
Customize your mouse settings
Some people like their mouse pointer to move fast, while others prefer slow and precise mouse movement. The Microsoft Windows XP default mouse settings are designed to meet the needs of the average user, but you may want to change the settings. By adjusting your mouse settings, you can change your mouse and scroll wheel speed, the size and shape of your pointer, and how quickly you double-click.
To customize your mouse settings
1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
The Start menu with Control Panel selected
2. Click Printers and Other Hardware.
Control Panel with Printers and Other Hardware selected
3. Click Mouse.
Or pick a Control Panel icon page with Mouse selected
4. In the Mouse Properties dialog box, click the Buttons tab.
5. Drag the Double-click speed slider to adjust how quickly you want to click. Test the setting by double-clicking the folder icon. Then click Apply.

6. On the Pointers tab, click the down arrow in the drop-down box to choose a pointer scheme. Windows Standard (extra large) or Magnified are good choices if you have a high-resolution monitor or if you have difficulty seeing your cursor. Dinosaur is perfect if you have kids, and Conductor is fun for musicians. Click Apply to immediately change your cursor.
Mouse Properties dialog box, Pointers tab, with pointer over Dinosaur (system scheme)
7. The Pointer Options tab gives you access to several additional settings. You can:
• Drag the Select a pointer speed slider to change how fast your mouse moves.
• Select the Automatically move pointer to the default button in a dialog box check box if you use a notebook computer.
• Select the Display pointer trails and Show location of pointer when I press the CTRL key check boxes if you ever have a difficult time finding your cursor.
The Pointer Options tab in the Mouse Properties dialog box
8. After you make your changes, click Apply.
9. On the Wheel tab, increase the number to make your scroll wheel move faster, or decrease the number to make it move slower. Then click Apply.
The Wheel tab in the Mouse Properties dialog box
10. Once you’ve made your changes, test them using your favorite program. If you like your changes, return to the Mouse Properties dialog box and click OK.
The Wheel tab in the Mouse Properties dialog box with OK selected
To allow everyone who uses your computer to have their own mouse settings, create separate accounts for each person. After you use your new mouse settings for a few days, you may decide to fine-tune them further and change them again.
Change your Toolbars
If your computer had one button on the screen for everything it could do, you’d have nothing but a screen full of buttons. So Microsoft Windows XP uses toolbars that show only the buttons you’re most likely to use. A toolbar is a collection of buttons that launch a program, save a file, print a document, or just about anything else.Almost all Windows XP programs include toolbars. For example, the Microsoft Internet Explorer toolbar includes buttons for moving backwards or forwards, searching the Internet, and printing the Web page you’re currently on.
The Forward button on the Internet Explorer toolbar
Similarly, the Microsoft Outlook Express toolbar has buttons for creating, sending, and receiving e-mail.
The Create Mail button on the Outlook Express toolbar
If you don’t use a specific toolbar, you can turn it off to make room for other windows. You can also drag and drop your toolbars to rearrange them. Some programs even let you change the buttons on your toolbars to remove unused buttons and add more useful buttons.
How to turn toolbars on and off
Programs often have multiple toolbars. For example, Internet Explorer has three toolbars enabled by default: Standard Buttons, Address Bar, and Links. Outlook Express has two toolbars: the Standard toolbar and the Views Bar, which is hidden by default. Additionally, other programs might add their own custom toolbars.
To turn a toolbar on or off
Right-click a toolbar. The shortcut menu lists the available toolbars. Toolbars that are currently visible are displayed with a check mark.
The Outlook Express toolbar with shortcut menu displayed
To remove a toolbar, clear the check mark next to it by clicking the toolbar you want to remove.
How to move toolbars
You can also rearrange toolbars.To move a toolbar
1. Right-click a toolbar. If you see Lock the Toolbars on the menu and it is selected, unlock the toolbar by clicking Lock the Toolbars.

2. Click on the dotted handle on the left side of the toolbar, and drag it to where you want to put the toolbar.

Customize the buttons on your
toolbars
Toolbars have buttons for the tasks most people use, but you may want to personalize yours. Fortunately, you can customize toolbars by rearranging, adding, and removing buttons.To customize a toolbar in some programs
1. Right-click the toolbar, and then click Customize.
Internet Explorer toolbar shortcut menu with Customize selected
2. Use the Customize Toolbar dialog box to add, remove, and rearrange the buttons on your toolbar. Some programs also give you the option of adding text to your toolbar buttons, and using large or small buttons. This dialog box is different for every program.
The Customize Toolbar dialog box
3. When you have finished changing your toolbar, click the Close button to close the Customize Toolbar dialog box.
Some programs use a different process for customizing toolbars, and others do not allow you to change the toolbars. When in doubt, you can always try right-clicking on a toolbar to see what options are available.
Windows XP includes the Quick Launch toolbar to enable you to launch programs without opening the Start menu. Follow these instructions to display the Quick Launch toolbar.
Working with menus
Windows uses menus to group a collection of related actions under a single heading. Most applications have menus. For example, Microsoft Internet Explorer has the menus File, Edit, and Help at the top of the window. Clicking a menu displays the commands that are available for a particular type of activity, such as working with files or editing documents.The File menu with choices displayed
In addition to the menus you’ll find in your software programs, Microsoft Windows XP has the Start menu, which you open by clicking the Start button in the lower-left corner of your computer screen. When you do, Windows displays a menu of programs and actions.
The Start menu
Like many other menus, the Start menu contains submenus. Submenus display a small arrow, pointing right, that indicates they can be expanded. To expand a submenu, click the arrow. For example, on the Start menu, you can click to expand the All Programs or My Recent Documents submenus.
The All Programs menu with All Programs submenu expanded
The Start menu has multiple levels of submenus. For example, to start Windows Media Player, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to Entertainment, and then click Windows Media Player.
Start menu and submenus expanded to access Windows Media Player
Some menus contain many items, and viewing them all might make it hard to quickly find the menu item you need. Windows hides infrequently used items to make it easier for you to find the menu items you use the most. You will know there are hidden menu items when you see a downward-pointing double arrow at the bottom of a menu.
File menu with downward-pointing arrow indicating hidden menu items
If you don’t see the menu item you’re looking for, click the double arrow to expand the menu and show the hidden menu items. Because Windows adapts to how you use your computer, the menu items you use most will be automatically displayed in the future. So the next time you open the menu, you might not need to expand it.
In Microsoft Office programs, you can set menus to always display all commands.
To always display all commands when you click a menu in any Office program
1. Open an Office program.
2. Click the Tools menu, and then click Customize.
Microsoft Word Tools menu with Customize selected
3. On the Options tab, select the Always show full menus check box.
Options tab with Always show full menus check box selected
4. Click Close.
Options tab in Customize dialog box with Close button selected
You can also open menus by right-clicking almost any object. For example, if you right-click My Computer, you will see a list of actions that relate to your computer.
My Computer shortcut menu
TipTip: If you’re ever unsure how to do something, try right-clicking. The shortcut menu that appears may provide you with the answer you need.
You may even want to customize some aspects of the default Windows behavior. You can:
• Speed up menu display
• Customize your Start menu
• Add new programs to your Start menu in alphabetical order
Optimize your computer’s
performance
Windows XP has a rich user interface with menus that slide into view, shadows that create three-dimensional effects, and rounded corners that soften the appearance of windows. If you have an older computer, these visual effects may noticeably slow down it’s performance. For example, dialog boxes and menus might not open smoothly. To help improve the performance of your computer, you can disable some or all visual effects. When you disable visual effects, you change only the graphical elements on your desktop; you can still do everything you’ve always done with your computer—only faster.How to disable specific visual effects
To control which visual effects Windows XP uses
1. Click Start, right-click My Computer, and click Properties.
My Computer menu with Properties selected
2. The System Properties dialog box appears. Click the Advanced tab. In the Performance area, click Settings.

पेन ड्राइव को बूटेबल बनाकर उसके द्वारा हार्ड डिस्क के पार्टीशन
बनाने एवं फोर्मेट करके winxp इंस्टाल करने के लिए आप को जिन चीजों की
आवश्यकता होगी वो निम्न प्रकार हे | काम आरम्भ करने से पहले ये सारी चीजे
आपके पास होनी चाहिए |
१.पेन ड्राइव कम से कम १ GB |
२.winxp की cd जिसके द्वारा आप आज तक winxp इंस्टाल करते आये हे | इस पूरी cd की सारी फाइल्स और फोल्डर को ctrl +A द्वारा सिलेक्ट करके अपने कम्प्यूर में एक फोल्डर बनाकर कोपी कर लीजिये |
३.आप यह सुनिश्चित कर ले की आपके कम्प्यूटर का bios , usb पेन ड्राइव द्वारा बूट होने को support करता हे अथवा नही |
इस कार्य के लिए आपको जिन utilities की आवश्यकता होगी उनको मेने एक फोल्डर में इकठ्ठा करके जिप करके अपलोड कर दिया हे | में लिंक नीचे दे रहा हूँ | आप उसको डाउनलोड कर लीजिये |
http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=5…a154af670496da
अब इस डाउनलोड की हुयी फाइल किसी भी ड्राइव में जाकर extract कीजिये | इसको खोलने पर आपको एक फाइल मिलेगी जिसका नाम होगा USB_MultiBoot_10.cmd .आपको केवल इस फाइल पर ही डबल क्लिक करना हे | वास्तव में यह एक बेच फाइल हे जिसमे सारी कमांड्स एक एक करके क्रम में लिखी गयी हे |
एक आवश्यक बात-इस फोल्डर में कई सारी प्रोग्राम फाइल हे उन को डबल क्लिक बिलकुल न करे |

सब से पहले आप अपनी winxp की cd के कंटेंट्स को अपने d: drive में एक फोल्डर “winxp” बनाकर उसमे कॉपी कर लीजिये
अब में सबसे पहले आपको कांसेप्ट समझाता हूँ की जब आप winxp इंस्टाल करते हें तो यह हर स्टेप पर आपसे इनपुट मांगता हे जैसे की accept license agreement,enter your name,company name, serial key,network setting,time and date setting etc etc.तो इस से बचने के लिए हम एक answer file बनाकर windowsxp की installation cd में कॉपी करेंगे जिसमे ये सारी इन्फोर्मेशन हमने पहले ही स्टोर कर रखी होगी.जिस फाइल se winxp इन साड़ी इन्फोर्मेशन को कॉल्लेक्ट करता हे उसका नाम होता हे winnt.sif.
आपको करना यह हे की इस file को नोतेपद में खोलकर मेरे नाम की जगह अपना नाम और मेरी company name की जगह अपना company name और मेरे serial की जगह अपना serial number replace करके इस फाइल को सेव करना होगा और फिर यह file आपको winxp के installation फोल्डर के अन्दर i386 की directory में रूट पर ही पेस्ट करनी होगी
इस में ज़रा भी स्पेस कम या ज्यादह होने से यह काम नहीं करेगी और ” ” का खास ख्याल रखना हे
में आपको example देकर बताता हूँ
जेसे की मेरा नाम ,मेरी कंपनी का नाम और मेरा serial number यह हे

How to Format a computer using a Windows XP disc
- First you must put your Windows XP CD in the drive.
- Then restart your computer.
- When it says press any key to boot from cd, Press any key on the keyboard. (Go to step 6)
- If it doesn’t ask you this then restart your computer again.
- Go into the BIOS settings of your PC, usually by pressing the F1, F2, F10, or maybe the delete key. If you are not sure watch the screen at startup and it will say “To enter setup press…….”. You have to be quick and press it. If you miss it restart again. Once you are in the bios you have to change the boot options. You have to make your cd rom the first boot option. Save and exit.
- A blue screen will appear and you are on your way..
- Press Enter to setup Windows XP now. See screenshot above.
- If there is a copy of Windows XP on your computer and you wish to overwrite it you will have to press the escape button when prompted. (screenshot below) Do not install Windows XP in another directory unless you know what you are doing. Just overwrite the previous version as you should have backed up your data anyway.
- You should now make the partition that had windows on it blue and press D to delete the partition. It will ask if you are sure. Press L to confirm. More details on deleting partitions.
- Then Press C to create another partition and Windows will estimate a size for you. If you wanted to partition your hard drive into two equal parts you would have to do some math’s and then type the appropriate number in. Otherwise just going with what Windows puts there will be the minimum partition size.
- Press Enter to confirm size.
- Then it will ask you which partition you want to install Windows on. The default is C: drive. Select this by making it blue and press enter.
- If there are no partitions it will create one for you.
- Then it will ask you to format quick, normal, in fat32 or NTFS. Fat32 suits older computers so I choose a quick format with NTFS. Quick or Slow is fine. If you had errors it is better to use a slow format which can also be known as a low level format.
- From now on you just Follow the prompts and let it go..
- The computer will restart and it will try to boot from cd again…Do not press anything on the keyboard.. Just let it go through the stages of setup.
- Make sure you have your serial number ready to enter in. This can be found on your coa certificate which is a sticker usually put on the side of your computer.
- Do not remove the Windows XP CD until the computer has started up with a new desktop and icons.
BIOS How to get there and change settings
NOTES
- Follow the instructions carefully. Once you have done this a few times, you will see how easy it is.
- The only way to learn is to try it yourself.
- Be very careful not to make mistakes as restarting this process over and over can corrupt your computer. If you do make a mistake, try pressing the escape button as it can sometimes take you back to the previous screen.
- If you cannot proceed through the format process, maybe you did not delete the old partition??
- If there is more than one partition on your hard drive you can just format the one that has the previous version of Windows on it. That way the data on the other partition will be safe.
- After errors ad viruses have been found on your computer, you should format a computer on on low level format , and not a quick format.
