Untold Windows Tips and Secrets
By Ankit Fadia ankit@bol.net.in
Welcome to another Hacking Truths Manual. This time I have
a collection of Tips and Tricks which no body normally knows,
the secrets which Microsoft is afraid to tell the people, the
information which you will seldom find all gathered up and arranged
in a single file. To fully reap this Manual you need to have
a basic understanding of the Windows Registry, as almost all
the Tricks and Tips involve this file.
****************
Important Note: Before you read on, you need to keep one thing
in mind. Whenever you make changes to the Windows Registry you
need to Refresh it before the changes take place. Simply press
F5 to refresh the registry and enable the changes. If this does
not work Restart your system

Exiting Windows the Cool and
Quick Way
Normally it takes a hell lot of time just Shutting down Windows,
you have to move your mouse to the Start Button, click on it,
move it again over Shut Down, click, then move it over the necessary
option and click, then move the cursor over the OK button and
once again (you guessed it) click.This whole process can be shortened
by creating shortcuts on the Desktop which will shut down Windows
at the click of a button. Start by creating a new shortcut( right
click and select New> Shortcut). Then in the command line
box, type (without the quotes.)
'C:\windows\rundll.exe user.exe,exitwindowsexec'
This Shortcut on clicking will restart Windows immediately
without any Warning. To create a Shortcut to Restarting Windows,
type the following in the Command Line box:
'c:\windows\rundll.exe user.exe,exitwindows'
This Shortcut on clicking will shut down Windows immediately
without any Warning.
