Change the threshold for issuing warnings of a shortage of free disk space

By default, when free remain less than 10% of the space in any of the logical partitions of a hard disk, Windows will inform you about the emergence of icons in the system tray (lower right corner of the task bar - where are the hours and labels for quick launch programs), along with the message about space on the hard drive. In the case of Windows (too perestrahovyvayas) prevents the appearance of your work constant warnings of this kind, you can change the threshold (in percentage terms) the issuance of this message. To do this, you must do the following:

1. Start the registry editor (regedit.exe);
2. Open the trunk [HKEY_LOCAL_MA-CHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Services \ LanmanServer \ Parameters];
3. In the Edit Menu, select "Create" - "parameter DWORD";
4. Enter the name of the DiskSpaceThreshold "press [Enter];
5. Double-clicking the mouse on established lines, it set the threshold for the withdrawal of warnings as decimal value from 0 to 99 (that is, the percentage of the disk). Click OK;
6. Close the Registry Editor and restart the system.

Disable reported a shortage of free disk space

In order to turn off any appearance of reports of a shortage of available hard disk space (see above), follow these steps:

1. Start the registry editor (regedit.exe);
2. Open the trunk [HKEY_CURRENT_ USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Explorer];
3. In the Edit Menu, select "Create" - "parameter DWORD";
4. Enter the name of the NoLowDiskSpaceChecks "press [Enter];
5. Double-clicking the mouse on established lines, set the value to "1". Click OK;
6. Close the Registry Editor and restart the system.

Sometimes so happens that some of the program hangs, that is not responding to treatment for it. Then have to forcibly terminate the application, for example, by selecting "Close" menu, showing the right-click on the program icon, or by using Task Manager (caused by a combination of keys [Ctrl] + [Shift] + [Esc]). However, you can make Windows automatically frozen completed application. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Start the registry editor (regedit.exe);
2. Open the trunk [HKEY_CURRENT_ USER \ Control Panel \ Desktop]. Here are a few we need keys:
-- Key HungAppTimeout determines the time after which the application is considered not responsible hung (the default is 5000 milliseconds). Change key to the necessary.
-- Key WaitToKillAppTimeout sets waiting time at the conclusion of a hung application (default 20000 milliseconds). Change key to the necessary.
-- Adding AutoEndTasks key is the value of "1", you activate the system automatically terminate processes frozen.
3. Close the Registry Editor and restart the system.
Be sure to pay attention to the fact that installing too small values in the above Switches can be a avtozaversheniem neglected tasks. This is because the application is actually a long time may not respond to user requests in the case fairly heavy processor or its implementation work with other programs.

Call "blue screen of death" themselves

It turns out that such a situation can be called manually, interrupting the work of Windows. This need may arise if, for example, the system does not respond to pressing the famous [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [Del] (when using the Reset completion of the work would be a gross). The combination of keys to call "blue screen of death" that: keeping law [Ctrl], double click on [Scroll Lock]. For the system to recognize the combination of this, do the following:

1. Start the registry editor (regedit.exe);
2. Open the trunk [HKEY_LOCAL_ MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Services \ i8042prt \ Parameters];
3. In the Edit Menu, select "Create" - "parameter DWORD";
4. Enter the name of the CrashOnCtrlScroll "press [Enter];
5. Double-clicking the mouse on established lines, ask any non-zero value, for example, "1". Click OK;
6. Close the Registry Editor and restart the system.

Changing a pause before running CHKDSK

If for incorrect to get out of the Windows (for example, when problems with the grid) in the next OS runs a special program CHKDSK. It is responsible for creating and displaying report on the status of the hard drive, compiling a list of errors and their corrections. CHKDSK starts in a way that the user can interrupt her work, if not see the need to test the discs. The amount of time you can opt not to run this program, or continue to wait for the beginning of its work, in the form of pre-timer value is running at 10 seconds. If you want to change it to another time, for example, to speed up loading system, the command line (Start / Programs / Accessories / Command Prompt) should dial:

chkntfs / t: n, where n - the number of seconds of the countdown time.

We decide to install software problem in Windows XP

Case all that with a new program gets its installer (application program sets), which needed a place to gesture disk for temporary storage of files necessary for the successful completion of the installation. So, the problem arises when the path for storing temporary files folder is too long a name. This has resulted in the successful installation process puts them there, but then could not find it.
To solve this problem, only the relatively short path to the folder storing temporary files. To do this, right-click on the icon "My Computer". In the resulting menu, select Properties, then, finding themselves in the dialog box, "Internet system, go to the" Advanced "tab, where click" Environment Variables ". At the top of the box that appears is the "User Environment", where we can find the necessary options. Then change the value of variables TEMP and TMP. To do so, enter a new path to the folder storing temporary files (rather short and preferably not have the Cyrillic alphabet in its name), for example, "C: \ Temp." Once you have done that, you can delete a folder, the path to which was established in a given place before you made changes.

Turn key Windows

Many keyboards have a special key, called "Windows", or simply "Win." Its use often facilitates the execution of certain operations. However, in some cases there is the need to turn off (for example, may interfere with this key in games). To deactivate Keys Win follow these steps:

1. Start the registry editor (regedit.exe);
2. Open the trunk [HKEY_LOCAL_MA-CHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ Keyboard Layout];
3. In the Edit Menu, select "Create" - "Binary option";
4. Enter the name of the Scancode Map "press [Enter];
5. Double-clicking on established lines, to determine the following: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0300 0000 0000 5BE0 0000 5CE0 0000 0000. Enter without spaces: they are here only for the convenience of submission. Click OK;
6. Close the Registry Editor and restart the system.

We work with Internet Explorer kiosk mode

Internet Explorer Browser, beginning with the fourth version can work in full-screen mode. Skip it can hit F11. However, the on-screen still remain some controls. It turns out that you can run Internet Explorer in a special mode (the so-called "kiosk mode" (kiosk mode)), when the screen is left with no controls. This can be useful, for example, when viewing images is not entirely colors on the screen, or for those who are used to efficiently utilize the space visible monitor. To work in a "kiosk mode" should be run Interner Explorer with the following keys (keys prescribed in the properties of the program): iexplore-k "Home"
This will open the requested parameter in "Home" address or, if only one parameter-k ", booted home, adopted by default, for example: iexplore-k ίνδεκρ

Working in "kiosk mode", you can use the following key combinations to perform any action:

Ctrl + A - Highlight the whole page
Ctrl + B - Organize Favorites (Fa-vorites)
Ctrl + C - Copy to Clipboard
Ctrl + F - Find visit
Ctrl + H - Open Journal (History)

Increase productivity NTFS

Windows XP allows you to use NTFS - improved file system that provides a sufficient level of performance and security, and delivers additional features not available in any version of the file system FAT.
In addition, for compatibility with older applications in Windows XP creates a special section with NTFS table containing the names of all the files and folders (of the drive) available in MS-DOS (8 characters for the name and symbol of 3 to file extension). Currently such specifics NTFS is not valid, therefore it is desirable to disable this feature for higher performance.

Now proceed directly to the description of the process of locking these unnecessary for most users mechanisms NTFS:

1. Start the registry editor (regedit.exe);
2. Open the trunk [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ FileSystem];
3. In the Edit Menu, select "Create" - "parameter DWORD";
4. Enter the name of the NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate "press [Enter];
5. Repeat p.3;
6. Enter the name of the NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation "press [Enter];
7. Write a value of "1" in each of the established keys. Click OK;
8. Close the Registry Editor and restart the system.
