> How to Copy Files From Windows 98 to Windows XP?

Upgrading your operating system from Windows 98 to Windows XP should be a relatively simple process. However, there are steps to take if you don't want to lose data from your hard drive. You can either create copies of your files on disc, or you can choose to use a Windows XP Upgrade version instead of a full version. Either way, it is possible to copy files from Windows 98 to Windows XP.

Copy Files From Windows 98 to Windows XP
Step1
Select all of the files you want to copy and place them in a separate folder. This will make it easier to find the files when you are ready to copy them.
Step2
Transfer that folder to a zip disc or queue it to be written to a CD. Make sure that the folder contains less than 700 megabytes of information or it will not fit on one disc. If you have more, use additional disc/folder combinations to get everything.
Step3
Paste your files into Windows XP once they've transferred to disc. This is, by far, the easiest method you can use to copy files to Windows XP.
Copy Files Using the File Settings and Transfer Wizard
Step1
Start the File Settings and Transfer Wizard within Windows 98 or from the Windows XP installation disc.
Step2
Choose the transfer method you wish to use. You may use a direct cable if you're loading windows XP on another computer. You can also choose to transfer files over a home or office network. You may choose "Other" to use a zip-disc method.
Step3
Choose specific items to transfer from your hard drive. A menu will appear that will permit you to browse the files on your system and choose the ones you want to copy.
Step4
Click "Next" when prompted to do so. You will be lead to either identify programs that Windows XP is already familiar with or you will simply begin the copy procedure.
Step5
Exit the Wizard once you've finished copying your files. You may then continue to install Windows XP.

Copy all data at your HDD

In my case I am copying all my data to HDD drive F in which I have more than 4 GB of free space, which is needed to complete the operation.

Copy all data of Windows installation CD (Windows XP / Windows XP SP1 / Windows XP SP2) to F:\CD folder.

Place the Windows XP SP3 at F:\SP3 folder and rename the default “WINDOWSXP-KB936929-SP3-X86-ENU.exe” to SP3.exe

Extract the SP3

Now please start command promt from Start > Accessories > Command and navigate to F:\SP3, via command, F: and cd sp3. This should land you at the F:\SP3 directory containing the SP3 network installation file. Therefore please run command, sp3.exe -x:f:\sp3\

Now you may see there is a folder named i386 containing many files and folder in side the SP3 directory which you have under your F:\ drive.

Start the integration / slipstream process

The update file is located at f:\sp3\i386\update folder, therefore at that command promt window please run these following sets of commands. To navigate to the update folder (f:\sp3\i386\update), please type command, cd i386 & press enter, and next type cd update & press enter (assuming you are already at F:\SP3 location).

Now please run the command to start the update, update -s:F:\CD

This would start the update process to slipstream of integrate the Windows XP SP3 under your windows installation source !!

> Hide System Tray with a simple Registry hack..!

I just got a new tricks for Vista as well as XP users from and it will show you how you can disable the system tray from your computer with a simple registry hack..!

disabling the system tray doesn't actually prevent system tray applications from running, it will only hide them. You may still disable or enable any applications that aren't needed.
Follow the steps to do this :
Open up regedit.exe through the start menu search or run box, and then navigate down to the following key (Create if it doesn't exist):

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

Create a new 32-bit DWORD value in the right hand pane with these values:

• Name: NoTrayItemsDisplay
• Value: 1

just reboot your system and you are done. If you don't like the process or unfortunately you saw that your system tray has vanished, then you will get it back by reversing the above process by setting the value to "0"
There may be same registry key exist in more than one location, so if you are trying to reverse this hack, you should search the registry for NoTrayItemsDisplay.

Disclaimer: Modifying the registry can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. We cannot guarantee that problems resulting from modifications to the registry can be solved. Use the information provided at your own risk.


 

> Microsoft Releases Windows XP Service Pack 3 to Manufacturing

Microsoft Releases Windows XP Service Pack 3 to Manufacturing Windows XP Last Monday, Microsoft announced the completion of Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3), the final service pack for Windows XP. SP3 will be made available to PC makers and Microsoft's enterprise customers in the coming weeks. Consumers who want to download the update can do so beginning April 29. Windows XP SP3 not only includes all previously released updates for the operating system; it also includes previously released updates to the latest versions of some system components, as well as functionality for improved compatibility with Windows Vista. "Today we are happy to announce that Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) has released to manufacturing (RTM). Windows XP SP3 bits are now working their way through our manufacturing channels to be available to OEM and Enterprise customers." wrote Chris Keroack, the release manager for XP SP3, in a posting to Microsoft's TechNet site. "We are also in the final stages of preparing for release to the web (i.e. you!) on April 29th, via Windows Update and the Microsoft Download Center. Online documentation for Windows XP SP3, such as Microsoft Knowledge Base articles and the Microsoft TechNet Windows XP TechCenter, will be updated then. For customers who use Windows XP at home, Windows XP SP3 Automatic Update distribution for users at home will begin in early summer." Windows XP SP3 includes four minor new features that improve the system's reliability and security. These new features include: * Network Access Protection. Announced a few years ago, this feature allows Windows XP machines to interact with the NAP feature in Windows Server 2008. * Product Key-less install. As with Windows Vista, new Windows XP with SP3 installs can proceed without entering a product key during Setup. * Kernel Mode Cryptographics Module. A new kernel module that "encapsulates several different cryptographic algorithms," according to Microsoft. * "Black hole" router detection. Windows XP gains the ability to ignore network routers that incorrectly drop certain kinds of network packets. Windows XP SP3 should be available for download from the Microsoft Download Web site on April 29th, and will be released through Windows Update / Automatic Updates as a optional update on April 29th, and a critical update on June 10 (meaning that Automatic installation will begin June 10).

> How to Reverse the mouse buttons

1) No context menu

What will you see when you right click on the desktop? You will see a context menu which says arrange icons, refresh,..and so on. Are you angry at your friend for not wishing you for you B'day? Do you wanna play a trick on a newbie in your family who is new to computers? This is a cool trick to play. By this tweak, you will be able to disable the right click on the desktop or any icons/files/folders/applications... But right click will work on taskbar of the start button and registry. So, dont worry!!!
Open your registry and you will see all unknown files like HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT....... and so on. Don't panic. Follow this path.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER>SOFTWARE>MICROSOFT>WINDOWS>CURRENT VERSION>POLICIES>EXPLORER

On the right side of the registry, you will see two files(in general) named 'default' and 'NoDriveTypeAutoRun'. Right click on the empty space in the registry and goto New>DWORD VALUE and name it as "NoViewContextMenu". Remember, no spaces and N,V,C,M should be capitals. Right click on this and click modify. The default value will be 0. Change it to 1. Note: DONOT CHANGE THE HEXADECIMAL TO DECIMAL. Click OK. Close your registry and logout. Bingo!!! Once you login again, right click wont work. Your friend will be perplexed and the next thing he/she does is call the system administrator not knowing that not all system administrators will be knowing about registry. Now, to enable it again. follow the same path and set the value to 0. Logout and then login to see the effect.

2) Reverse the mouse buttons
This is a cool trick to play on newbies. Actually, there are two ways to do this. One is changing the settings in the Control panel and the other is through editing registry. You can do it either way. But I prefer the second way, which is challenging.
(i) Through Control Panel - goto Start> Control Panel> Printers and other hardware> Mouse. In Button configuration, enable the switch primary and secondary buttons option and click OK. But remember, you have just swapped the mouse buttons. So, for OK, you have to click the right mouse button. The newbie will be perplexed. Well, this trick is good for left handers.
(ii) Editing the registry - By default the left mouse button is the primary and the right is secondary. Open your registry and follow this path:
HLEY_CURRENT_USER>Control Panel>Mouse and on the right side of the registry, create this String value(REG_SZ): 'SwapMouseButtons' and set its value to 1. Bingo!!! You are done. Log out/Restart the computer.

You can try this: Combine tricks 1 and 2. That means, this will result in swapping of the mouse buttons and disabling the left click(once the buttons are swapped). User is ready to call system administrator cuz he feels that the system is behaving wildly.

Exciting isn't it?

- On the list on the right side, look for an entry called 'DisablePagingExecutive'

- Click OK
- Exit regedit and reboot the computer

To revert to the default setting, follow the same steps as above, but this time, press 0(zero) instead of 1 on the keyboard.

> Clean out the prefetch folder

Windows XP uses a system called 'prefetch' to organize and preload some of the data necessary for commonly used applications and files. A folder called prefetch is used to store the information the operating system needs to carry out this operation.

After several months of use, the prefetch folder may become quite overloaded with older references to software and files that may no longer be in use.It's a good idea to manually empty the older files out of the prefetch folder every few months or so.
To do this: Navigate to 'c:\windows\prefetch' and delete all .
PF files that are older than a week or two.

> Phishing - Definition and Descriptions

Phishing - It's NOT what's for dinner. This PH version of one of America's favorite pass time is anything but fun or relaxing. Phishing scams have become one of the greatest threats to your online security.

Phishing is a type of scam that uses "spoofed" e-mails, popups, and fake cloned websites that are all designed to trick you into revealing your personal and confidential information. The information that is most often sought after by phishers is your banking information. Information such as your financial institutions, your banking account numbers and other information such as usernames, passwords, or PIN numbers. Your credit card numbers, social security number, drivers license, and any other form of personal identification are also sought after.

According to the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG), phishing attacks increased by 180 percent between April and May 2004, demonstrating that cyber-crooks are rapidly turning to this kind of fraud device.
