| Put Dial-up
Networking on the Start Menu |
| To put a cascading Dial-up
Networking Folder on your Start Menu, right-click the Start Menu,
select Open, then create a new folder named: Dial Up Net.{992CFFA0-F557-101A-88EC-00DD010CCC48} |
| Put the Control Panel
on the Start Menu |
| To put a cascading Control Panel on your
Start Menu, right-click the Start Menu, select Open, then create a
new folder named: Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} |
| Put your Printers on
the Start Menu |
| To put a cascading Printers Folder on
your Start Menu, right-click the Start Menu, select Open, then create
a new folder named: Printers.{2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D} |
| Putting Your Own Items
in SendTo |
| There's a folder in the WINDOWS directory
called SEND TO. By creating shortcuts in this folder to your favorites
applications, you can right click files, select Send To, and send
the file to any of the applications on the list. This is a great way
to send unknown file types to a default text editor, like Notepad. |
| Quick Screen Saver |
| To have instant access to your screen
saver, simply create a shortcut on the desktop pointing to the desired
.SCR file (usually located in \Windows\System). |
| Removing Run from the
Start Menu |
| Start the System Policy Editor (Poledit.exe)
found on your Windows95 CD. Select Open Registry from the File Menu.
Double-Click on the Local User Icon. Navigate to Local_User\Shell\Restrictions.
Check 'Remove 'Run' Command'. Click OK and select Save from the File
Menu. Click on the desktop, and press F5 to refresh the desktop so
that this change will take effect. If this does not work restart your
system. Do not use this same method to remove the 'Find' command,
otherwise this disables the Find command throughout your system! |
| Add/Remove Entries |
| This explains how to remove those annoying
entries in the Add/Remove programs list. I commonly delete the folder
from the directory and I am left with a non-removable entry in the
Add/Remove programs list. 1. From the Start button, run Regedit 2.
select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE 3. select Software 4. select Microsoft 5.
select Windows 6. select Current Version 7. select UninstallThis will
give you a list of all the programs in your Add/Remove programs list.
Highlight the file and select delete. This will remove the entry from
the list. |
| Avoiding the Startup
Programs |
| Hold down the CTRL key while entering
Windows. This will keep items in the Startup folder from launching. |
| Better Caching Performance |
| Goto Control Panel - System Tab - File
system - change the Typical Role of the Machine to Network server,
then apply changes. Instead of rebooting your PC, run Regedit and
goto to this key, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\FS
Templates\Server\. Edit the Namecache and pathcache to these binary
values: NameCache - a9 0a 00 00 PathCache - 40 00 00 00. These values
are actually reversed before you edit the changes. Exit Regedit and
reboot. |
| Fixing Corrupted Registries |
| If Windows95 gives you the dreaded "Your
registry is corrupt" message, DO NOT PACNIC! Instead, reboot the computer.
When you see "Starting Windows 95", push the "F8" key. Choose "Safe
mode command prompt only" from the menu. You will quickly get a "C:\>"
prompt. Change to your Windows directory and type "regedit /e savebutt.reg"
It will say "exporting file". eventually it will stop with an error
message. After this, type "attrib system.dat -r -s -h". Then type
"ren system.dat system.old". Lastly you need to type "regedit /c savebutt.reg".
These commands will pull only the undamaged sections from your old
registry and make a new one based on these. If it fails, reinstall
Windows. If it works, some of your programs may no longer function.
Reinstall them. |
| Restart Windows95 at
your Shutdown Screen |
| If you have selected the shutdown command
and are already viewing the "You may shut down your computer" screen,
type "win" then press ENTER to restart your PC. |
