How to Restore Deleted Files



If you delete files in your root directory
You have two ways to recover the files. The first way is to use the undelete command. The second way is to manually recreate each file.

Reboot your machine. The computer will boot to the floppy drive instead of the hard drive.
If you are using MS-DOS 5.0, press F3 when the Welcome to Setup screen appears. Answer Y to the question about exiting setup and returning to DOS. This brings you to an A:\> prompt.

Set monitor refresh rate
Every monitor has a maximum refresh rate it is capable of displaying at a given resolution (for example, a typical 17-inch monitor of a few years ago will happily crank out 85Hz or more at a resolution of 800x600, but may only be capable of 60Hz at 1600x1200).

Automatically run programs when starting Windows


Automatically run programs when starting Windows
If there are applications or commands that you run every single time you start your computer (Email comes to mind) you may want to consider setting things up so that these programs run automatically during the Windows XP startup. This can be done quite easily in XP by creating shortcuts and shuffling them around.
Here's how: Windows XP has a startup folder located at 'C:\ Documents and Settings\ (your user name)\ Start Menu\ Programs\Startup.' Shortcuts placed into this folder will be run automatically when Windows XP starts up.
If you already have shortcuts for the programs you desire to use, copy and paste them into the startup folder. Otherwise, go to 'start\programs,' select the program you would like to create a shortcut for, right click it and select 'send to' then 'desktop.' This will create a shortcut on the desktop that you can then use.

How To Speed up Booting Xp

Whenever you start your computer, you are faced with a few moments of thumb twiddling while Windows XP boots and prompts you to log on. Although you should expect to wait for a few moments, sometimes Windows XP seems to boot rather slowly. In fact, you may notice that over a period of time the PC that used to roar to life seems a bit sluggish instead. Fortunately, you can perform several techniques that help Windows XP get the bootup speed you want. This Article explores how to put these techniques to work.


Stopping Unneeded Startup Services !


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.

Caution:

Exercise caution when stopping services. If you do not know what a service does or are unsure of the ramifications of stopping the service, leave it alone. Some services are critical to Windows XP's operations, so make sure you understand what the service is before you disable it.

Operating System Identification



When probing a system for vulnerabilities it is important to know as much about the system as possible. The more you know about the system, the better the understanding you have of how it operates. By knowing this, you in turn have a much better idea on what could be wrong with
the system. One of the most important piece of information on the system to know is the operating system. This article will give you an insight into detecting the operating system of a remote system, and a brief look into the techniques used. Neither me, Hackthissite.org or anyone else is responsible with what you do with this information, except you. The information in this article has been adapted from Hacking Exposed - Network Security Secrets & Solutions by Stuart McClure, Joel Scambray and George Kurtz.
