Win Xp Commands for cmd

Do you use the Run feature in Windows XP? For most, this feature remains unused (or rarely used). Why is that? Well, First off nearly all of the Run Commands Correspond to a particular Control Panel Item or a Utility, Tool or Task that can be accessed through Windows.

There are, however, tools and utilities that I bet you never knew you had that can be accessed through the Run feature. The main reason most people don't use the Run feature is because they don't know the Commands. So, to solve that problem, I decided to put together the following listing, which lists 156 Run Commands and what they correspond too...

[TIP: The shortcut to RUN command is "Windows Key + R"]

Change XP Boot Screen

Change XP Boot Screen

If you would like to change your boot up screen follow the directions below.
These instructions assume that you have a place to download the boot screen from the net.
If you would like to download a boot screen, visit http://www.themexp.org

1. Backup (copy) the file %windir%\system32\ntoskrnl.exe (most likely C:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe - the boot screen)
2. Download the .zip to your computer
3. Extract ntoskrnl.exe to a directory other than %windir%\system32 (most likely C:\windows\system32)
4. Reboot your computer into Safe Mode (hit F8 before the boot screen) or into true DOS (from a boot disk)
5. Overwrite the file %windir%\system32\ntoskrnl.exe (which should have been backed up) with the extracted exe
6. Reboot your computer as you normally would

Better Easy IP Check.

Better Easy IP Check.

This tweak was based on the Easy IP Check tweak posted by Hugo Tremblay.
Use this if you just want to display your IP address and not the extra information
(default gateway / subnet mask)

Simply copy and paste the following into notepad

@echo.
@ipconfig | find "IP Address"
@echo.
@pause

And save as IP.BAT (save to your windows dir if you want to be able to access it anywhere)

Now when you type IP you will see:

---------------------------

IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : x.x.x.x

Press any key to continue . . .
---------------------------

(information about the code: @echo. produces a blank line, @ipconfig |
find "IP Address" causes the output of ipconfig to be piped to the find command,
which looks for the line containing "IP Address", find then outputs your IP address,
@pause causes the terminal to wait for user input before continuing.
The @ before each command tells the terminal not to echo the command being typed.)

Symantec bypass for sify

After getting over with the Trend Micro thing now sify is forcing its users to install a Symantec Antivirus 2006 licensed by them and uninstall a good antivirus they must be currently using.

but as before there is the trick to overcome this as well.

And i am here again to give you that trick

Just type the following in notepad and save it as ".reg" file 

name it anything you want eg. "anything.reg"

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\Symantec AntiVirus]

and then double click or simply open the file file to make the necessary changes to your registry so now the sify client wont ask to install it.

P.S.--And also if you have already intaslled the Symantec Antivirus and now that you have trick to bypass it the Symantec wont install without a password

it comes by default with a password.

No Problem the password for this is "symantec" (ofcourse witout quotes).
