12.SPEED XP BY DISABLING INDEXING

Windows XP keeps a record of all files on the hard disk so when you do a search on the hard drive it is faster. There is a downside to this and because the computer has to index all files, it will slow down normal file commands like open, close, etc.


If you do not do a whole lot of searches on your hard drive then I suggest turnning this feature off:

1. Open my computer

2. Right click your hard drive icon and select properties.

3. At the bottom of the window you'll see "Allow indexing service to index this disk for faster searches," uncheck this and click ok.

4. A new window will pop up and select apply to all folders and subfolders. It will take a minute or two for the changes to take affect but then you should enjoy slightly faster performance.

To hear this sound, first of all go to Folder Options and under the "View" tab, check "Show hidden files and folder" and uncheck "Hide protected system files".

Now navigate to the drive where Windows XP is installed.So if C: is the drive where Windows XP is installed, goto

There you will find a file Title.wma

16. Alarm On PC
Now this is specially for the ones who are too lazy to get up even when the trust cellphone dies screeching its lungs out.
Its pretty simple Creating the playlist create a playlist of your favourite songs in Winamp, WMP or any other player.
Export the playlist as a M3U playlist. M3U is generally accepted by almost every player.
Triggering the alarm point to start> programs >accessories > system tools >scheduled tasks Create a new task and choose program as windows media player or winamp (May work with others too but I haven't tried anything else) Choose "daily", Enter the time and choose "every day" at next screen. It would now ask for password (leave blank in case you don't have one) Right click on the newly created task and check the "run only if logged in" check box. In the properties. Append the path to the playlist you created in the "run" text box. It should now look like Code:
Code:
"D:windows mediaplayerwmplayer.exe"K:Playlistssmoothies.m3uthe text inside quotes is my WMP's path. It may vary for you.
The text after WMP's path is the one to the playlist. Click OK and you're done.
