Windows XP (P.3)

>>> Stop Error Messages from Displaying on Startup <<<

If you constantly see an error message that you can't get rid offor example, from a piece of software that didn't uninstall properly and continues to give errors on startupyou can disable it from displaying on startup.

• Run the Registry Editor and go to HKEY_LOCAL MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows. (This key holds a variety of windows system settings, such as the location of your system directory.)
  

Create a new DWORD called NoPopupsOnBoot and give it a value of 1. Exit the Registry and reboot for the setting to take effect. To disable it, either delete the DWORD value or give it a value of 0.

============================

>>> Memory Tweak <<<

• 1. Start Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) and locate the following key in the registry:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\MemoryManagement\PrefetchParameters
• 2.On the EnablePrefetcher value, change the setting from 3 to 5 (decimal).
• 3. Close the registry editor and restart your computer.

============================

>>> Disabling Recent Documents History <<<

The bad thing about Recent Documents History is that Windows XP has to calculate what should be put there each time you boot Windows, which can slow things down.

• 1. Open the Registry Editor (select Start/Run, type regedit, and click OK).
• 2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mcft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer.
• 3. Create a NoRecentDocsHistory D_WORD key. Double-click the value to open it once it is created.
• 4. Set the Data Value to 1 to enable the restriction.
• 5. Click OK and close the Registry Editor. You'll need to restart the computer for the change to take effect.

Windows XP (P.2)

>>> Disable Unused PORTS <<<

I have just accidentally found out another way to give you an extra boost in windowsXP's boot performance. This is done by disabling your unused devices in Device Manager. for example, if you don't have input devices that are connected to one of your USBs or COM ports, disabling them will give you an extra perfromance boost in booting.

Go to Control Panel > System > Hardware tab > Device manager Disable devices that you don't use for your PC and then restart. See the difference for yourself.

Bonus Tip: Perform a Boot Defragment

There's a simple way to speed up XP startup: make your system do a boot defragment, which will put all the boot files next to one another on your hard disk. When boot files are in close proximity to one another, your system will start faster.On most systems, boot defragment should be enabled by default, but it might not be on yours, or it might have been changed inadvertently.
To make sure that boot defragment is enabled on your system, run the Registry Editor and go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfrg\BootOptimizeFunction
Edit the Enable string value to Y if it is not already set to Y. Exit the Registry and reboot. The next time you reboot, you'll do a boot defragment.

Windows XP

>>> Make your XP boot faster <<<

Along with the core operating system and programs that Windows XP runs when it starts, there is also a host of services involved. Many of these services are necessary for Windows XP to operate correctly. However, many of them are for features in Windows XP that you may not use at all. You can peruse the services and disable any service that you do not want to run. The fewer services that run, the more quickly Windows XP will boot.
To reduce the number of services that start on bootup, you can access two different areas of Windows XP.

• The first is the System Configuration Utility. You can do that by entering the command “msconfig” in the run menu.

Start > Run > “msconfig” (without quotes) || Hit Enter
The Services tab shows you the services that start when the computer boots. You can stop a service from starting by simply clearing the check box next to the service and clicking OK.

• However, before you do so, there is another way to disable services that you may prefer because the interface gives you more information about the service in question.

Open Control Panel > Administrative Tools Services or
Start > Run > “services.msc” || Hit Enter

Take a quick look at common services you may want to live without:

Automatic Updates: This service enables Windows XP to check the Web automatically for updates. If you don't want to use Automatic Updates, you can disable the service.

Computer Browser: If your computer is not on a network, you don't need this service. If you are on a network, leave it alone.

DHCP Client: If you are not on a network, you do not need this service. If you are on a small workgroup, you can still increase boot time by configuring manual IP.

DNS Client: If you are not on a network, you do not need this service.

Error Reporting and Event Log: You don't have to use these services but they can be very helpful, so I would leave them configured as automatic.

Fax: If you don't use your computer for fax services, you can disable this one.

Help and Support: Disable if you never use the Windows XP Help and Support Center.

IMAPI CD-Burning COM: This service enables you to burn CDs on your computer. If you never burn CDs, you can disable the service without any second thoughts.

Indexing Service: Your computer keeps an index of all the files. But if you rarely search for files, the service is just a resource hog. You can stop it

Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing: If you do not use these features, plz disable.

Infrared Monitor: If you do not use infrared devices, you can disable this service.

Messenger: This service sends alert messages on a local area network (it is not the same as Windows Messenger). If you are not on a network, you can disable this service.

Print Spooler: If you do not do any printing from the computer, you can disable this service. If you print, make sure you leave it as automatic.

Remote Registry: This service allows remote users to modify the Registry on your computer. If you are not on a network, you can disable this service.

System Restore Service: This service allows you to use System Restore. If you have turned off System Restore anyway, you do not need to turn off the service.

Themes: If you do not use themes, you can disable this service.

Windows Image Acquisition: If you do not use scanners or digital cameras, you can disable.

Wireless Zero Configuration: If do not use wireless networking devices, you can disable.

::: Excel tips 18 :::

>>> Keep track of changes <<<

Track Changes works hand-in-hand with workbook sharing. It keeps a log of all changes to a workbook. It tracks cell changes, worksheet additions and deletions, column changes, and other types of changes, as well as the date, time, and name of the user who made the change. When data is changed, it keeps a record of the old and new values and the exact sheet and cell where the edit was made. One of the best parts of this tool is the ability to have Excel make a list of the changes in a separate worksheet. When this option is selected, Excel builds a listing of each change and even turns on Auto Filter to make finding specific changes easy. It also allows you to review each change and either accept or reject it. Rejecting a change restores the original value.
To turn on this tool, just select Tools | Track Changes | Highlight Changes. The Highlight Changes dialog box provides options such as tracking who makes the change, when the change is made, highlighting the change on-screen, and listing the changes.
When using this feature, you might like to see the Summary sheet when you open your workbook. Excel removes it when you save the sheet, but you can use this macro to have Excel quickly rebuild it:
Sub ViewChangeSummary()
With ActiveWorkbook
HighlightChangesOptions When:=xlAllChanges
ListChangesOnNewSheet = True
HighlightChangesOnScreen = True
End With
End Sub

=================================

>>> Conditional formatting <<<

Conditional formatting is one of Excel's better features. It allows you to preset certain font styles, colors, and cell-background colors based on cell values. This can be very useful for highlighting important information and values outside an accepted range or providing a visual cue to associate value ranges with color codes.
The best part is that conditional formatting is easy to set up. Just click the cells you'd like to format and select Format | Conditional Formatting. The Conditional Formatting dialog box lets you set up the conditions by which the formatting of the cell will occur. You pick the operator (between, equal to, less than, etc.) and the value or range of values. Click Format to open the Format Cells dialog box, where you can select the colors and styles to be used.
Each cell can have several conditional formats. For example, you might say that if a certain cell's value is between 20 and 50, the text should be blue on a yellow background. But you can format that same cell to exhibit red, bolded text on a green background if it contains a value between 51 and 100.

>>> Beware of sharing dates between Excel for Windows and Excel for Macs <<<

Excel supports two data systems: 1900 and 1904. Early Macintoshes did not support dates before Jan. 1, 1904. For this reason, Excel for Macs renders entered dates as the number of days since 1/1/1904. Excel for Windows, on the other hand, supports dates starting Jan. 1, 1900, and so renders dates as the number of days since 1/1/1900.
For example, the date 1/1/1904 is represented as a 0 in the 1904 date system. The same date in the 1900 date system is represented by the number 1,462. This is because 1/1/1904 is 1,462 days since 1/1/1900, the day the 1900 date system begins its "counting."
What all this means to you is that if you have users on both Macs and PCs using Excel and copying data between workbooks, there's the chance of incorrect date representation.
One solution is to set your PCs so that they all use the 1904 date system. Then they'll be compatible with the Macs. To do so, open a workbook and select Tools | Options. Click the Calculation tab. Under Workbook Option, select the 1904 Date System check box and click OK. For more information, check out Microsoft's Knowledge Base article 214330, which covers this issue in depth:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q214/3/30.asp

=====================================

>>> Don't use AutoFormat on an entire worksheet <<<

Microsoft has confirmed that there's a potential problem when AutoFormat is selected for a whole worksheet rather than a specific range.
Depending on your OS and configuration, you could see symptoms ranging from Excel not responding to various error messages concerning page faults, low virtual memory, and access violations.
To resolve this issue, make sure that you select only the range of cells you want formatted when you select Format | AutoFormat.
Microsoft Knowledge Base article 211478 offers the details of the problem:

::: Excel tips 16 :::

>>> Converting Julian dates <<<

Here's a little piece of post-Y2K calendar trivia for you. Since the 1950s, astronomers and geophysicists have used Julian dates to track time in continuous, absolute terms, without bothersome seasons, leap years, or man-made conventions. Julian dates associate a date with the number of days elapsed since January 1 of the same year. (For example, Jan. 2, 2000, has the value of 2.)
Excel doesn't have a built-in option to convert dates to Julian time, but you can use this shortcut to convert today's date to the Julian format:
Just type this equation into any cell in your worksheet:
=VALUE(RIGHT(YEAR(TODAY()),2)&TEXT(TODAY()-DATE(YEAR(TODAY())-1,12,31),"000"))
Now, you'll need to format this value to display five digits.

• Right-click in the cell that contains the value and select Format Cells.
• On the Number tab, choose Custom from the Category list box.
• In the Type text box, enter 00000.
• Click OK.

======================================

>>> Saving time with Custom Views <<<

Custom Views is a tool in Excel that lets you assign a name to a particular sheet layout so you can recall it for later viewing. You can access the feature by selecting View | Custom Views. In the Custom Views dialog box, you'll see a listing of saved views, and you can add or delete views. When adding a view, you have the option of including print settings, hidden rows and columns, and filter settings. The new view even remembers where the active cell was when the view was saved, so when you open that view, it will ”jump” to the spot in your sheet that corresponds to that view.
Making good use of custom views can save a great deal of time. For example, you can eliminate repetitive hiding, resizing, filtering, and other changes for producing various printed reports. Each set of options can be saved as a view. Then, all you need to do is apply the view before you print.

QUICK AND EASY WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR SITE

*******************************************************************************

1. Find and Fix Broken Links and Other Errors

There are a number of online services that can check your site for problems. You can set these to run automatically on a schedule, and to send you a report. The checkers can do various things, from checking links to spell checking and HTML checking. Most of these services provide free demo reports, by the way—they’ll check a few pages, maybe even 100, on your site and send you the report so you can see what you’ll get when you sign up.

===============================

2. Make Sure Your Site Looks Good in All Browsers

One of the biggest frustrations for anyone creating Web pages is the fact that what looks fine in one browser may look terrible in another. It’s an unfortunate fact that not all browsers are equal. How, then, do you avoid problems? Really the only way to be sure is to check your work in different browsers. Which? Well, there’s the problem. There are so many different browsers, versions of browsers, and operating systems, that there’s no way you’ll be able to check all the possibilities.
Net Mechanic at http://www.NetMechanic.com/ has set up a service called Browser Photo. This service tests your pages on 14 different browser/operating system combination, a combination of AOL, Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, Web TV, and Opera (including 11 different Explorer and Navigator versions), a variety of different screen sizes, and three different operating systems: PC, i Mac, and Web TV.

===============================

3. Add a Heading or Tag Line to Your Name Plate

The name of a product or a company is rarely in itself a compelling marketing message. Therefore you should hardly ever head a Web page with the name of the product or company. Instead, craft a compelling statement of the benefit someone gets out of buying the product or doing business with the firm. After that hook you can introduce the identity of the Web page’s sponsor.

===============================

4. Include a Guarantee and a Privacy Statement

If you’re selling something on your site, a guarantee will help take away the feeling of risk. If you’re a smaller, relatively unknown company you need to establish credibility fast. Offering a guarantee will increase orders more than it will cost in returned items. You also should include a privacy statement when asking visitors to provide information, namely their e-mail address.
