Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return 2. Search for network.http.pipelining, if it is set to false, double click it and will toggle to true 3. Clear the search, and search this time for network.http.proxy.pipelining, double click to set to true 4. Clear and search for network.http.pipelining.maxrequests, double click and change the value from its default (usually 4) to 30, this makes Firefox make more requests to sites you visit 5. Now, copy this phrase to your clipboard, nglayout.initialpaint.delay and right click anywhere in the about:config page. Create a new “integer” and paste the phrase nglayout.initialpaint.delay. Now, set its value to 0, to speed up browser response. According to forum member dudeinAmerica, if you’re using a broadband connection you’ll load pages much faster now. Alternatively, and described as simpler and more effective is Fasterfox. Next, you should download a program to make Firefox load faster. You can find the Firefox Preloader here http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ffpreloader/FirefoxPreloaderSetup.exe?download You’re mileage will vary, but if you’ve been getting frustrated by a slow Firefox, this will lift its foxy brush and stick a rocket up its ass. Here’s an additional tip for reducing Firefox’s enormous RAM overhead. Open about:config again and search for browser.cache.disk.capacity, double click and change the default 50000 to 15000 if you have between 512Mb and 1Gb of RAM. Also, if you want to release RAM when you minimize FF, go to about:config. Right click an empty space, and create a new Boolean, call it config.trim_on_minimize, and set its value to TRUE. Restart Firefox and feel the effects. summary: network.http.pipelining true network.http.pipelining.maxrequests 30 network.http.proxy.pipelining true browser.cache.disk.capacity 15000 nglayout.initialpaint.delay (create integer) 0 config.trim_on_minimize (create bool) true http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ffpreloader/FirefoxPreloaderSetup.exe?download \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ more dns: 68.94.156.1 206.141.193.55 \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ ATT REG PAGE attreg.att.net http://204.60.203.227/register http://144.160.11.35/register --------------------- defrag in vista: cmd right-click and choose "run as administrator" type: defrag c: -a (that's for "analyze") to run anyway, even if it says you don't need to: type defrag c: -f -V (that's f for "force" and v for "view") in firefox: about:config ---------------------- dns 67.36.55.26 206.141.193.55 DNS 68.87.77.130 68.87.72.130 DNS 68.87.77.130 68.87.72.130 68.87.75.194 ------------------------- re-register windows update dlls: * REGSVR32 WUAPI.DLL * REGSVR32 WUAUENG1.DLL * REGSVR32 ATL.DLL * REGSVR32 WUPS2.DLL * REGSVR32 WUCLTUI.DLL * REGSVR32 WUPS.DLL * REGSVR32 WUWEB.DLL * REGSVR32 WUAUENG.DLL ------------------------------------ remove malware protection 2008 %program_files%\shcev9j0e1b1\shcev9j0e1b1skin.dll %program_files%\shcev9j0e1b1\msvcr71.dll %program_files%\shcev9j0e1b1\msvcp71.dll %program_files%\shcev9j0e1b1\mfc71enu.dll %program_files%\shcev9j0e1b1\mfc71.dll HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\uninstall\shcev9j0e1b1 displayname HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\uninstall\shcev9j0e1b1 uninstallstring HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\shcev9j0e1b1 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\shcev9j0e1b1 advid HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\shcev9j0e1b1 automaticallyupdates HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\shcev9j0e1b1 backgroundscan HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\shcev9j0e1b1 backgroundscantimeout HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\shcev9j0e1b1 databaseversion HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\shcev9j0e1b1 daysinterval HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\shcev9j0e1b1 domain HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\shcev9j0e1b1 engineversion HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\shcev9j0e1b1 guiversion HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\shcev9j0e1b1 installationid HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\shcev9j0e1b1 installdir HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\shcev9j0e1b1 lasttimestamp HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\shcev9j0e1b1 mguid HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\shcev9j0e1b1 minimizeonstart HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\shcev9j0e1b1 programversion HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\shcev9j0e1b1 proxyname HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\shcev9j0e1b1 proxyport HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\shcev9j0e1b1 registrationdiscurl HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\shcev9j0e1b1 registrationurl HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\shcev9j0e1b1 scandepth HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\shcev9j0e1b1 scanpriority HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\shcev9j0e1b1 scansystemonstartup HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\shcev9j0e1b1 softid shceflj0etan.exe %common_desktopdirectory%\malware protector 2008.lnk %common_programs%\malware protector 2008.lnk %common_programs%\malware protector 2008\how to register malware protector 2008.lnk %common_programs%\malware protector 2008\license agreement.lnk %common_programs%\malware protector 2008\malware protector 2008.lnk %common_programs%\malware protector 2008\register malware protector 2008.lnk %common_programs%\malware protector 2008\uninstall.lnk %profile%\application data\microsoft\internet explorer\quick launch\malware protector 2008.lnk %profile%\application data\shcev9j0e1b1 %program_files%\shcev9j0e1b1\database.dat %program_files%\shcev9j0e1b1\license.txt %program_files%\shcev9j0e1b1\uninstall.exe malwareprotector2008installer.exe %program_files%\shcev9j0e1b1\mfc71.dll %program_files%\shcev9j0e1b1\mfc71enu.dll %program_files%\shcev9j0e1b1\msvcp71.dll %program_files%\shcev9j0e1b1\msvcr71.dll %program_files%\shcev9j0e1b1\shcev9j0e1b1.exe %program_files%\shcev9j0e1b1\shcev9j0e1b1.exe.local %program_files%\shcev9j0e1b1\shcev9j0e1b1skin.dll %program_files%\shcev9j0e1b1\shcev9j0e1b1skin.dll %program_files%\shcev9j0e1b1\msvcr71.dll %program_files%\shcev9j0e1b1\msvcp71.dll %program_files%\shcev9j0e1b1\mfc71enu.dll %program_files%\shcev9j0e1b1\mfc71.dll shceflj0etan.exe malwareprotector2008installer.exe %program_files%\shcev9j0e1b1\shcev9j0e1b1.exe %program_files%\shcev9j0e1b1\uninstall.exe ------------------------------- "The publisher could not be verified" prompt running executable from network Sunday, June 25, 2006 at 11:40 am Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by eatyummypuppies (1 messages posted) This isn't a question but a tip. I feel the need to post it somewhere because I've been looking for the answer (half-ass-edly) for years. (I finally just figured it out on Vista, but I'm sure it applies to XP SP2 also.) Problem: Running XP SP2 or higher, you try to run an executable located on another machine on your network. Your accosted with a prompt: "The publisher could not be verified". You are forced to confirm that you wish to run this program... every time you run it. Solution: Run gpedit.msc Go to User Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> Windows Components >> Attachment Manager Add "*.exe" to the "Inclusion list for moderate risk file types" setting. "This policy setting allows you to configure the list of moderate risk file types. If the attachment is in the list of moderate risk file types and is from the restricted or Internet zone, Windows prompts the user before accessing the file. ..." In other words, this allows you to run an .exe from the Intranet zone without a prompt, but it will warn before running one from the Internet. (If you Google, a lot of people are instructing to add *.exe to the list of low-risk file types, allowing .exe files to execute from anywhere on the internet. A lot of other solutions that simply don't work are floating around as well.) ---------------------------------- regedit has been disabled Today a friend of mine asked that his registry editor had been disabled accidently and now how should he enable it back again. Here are two ways to enable the registry editing in Windows.Registry Editing Has Been Disabled By Your Administrator 1- From Group Policy Editor Go to Run –> gpedit.msc In the left hand menu, go to User Config –> Administrative Templated –> System. Now In the right hand pane, select “Prevent access to registry editing tools”. It will probably be not configured or enabled. If it’s enabled, disable it and if it’s not configured, first enable it, apply settings and then disable it. Most probably the settings have been applied instantly. If not, then run gpupdate in command prompt to apply the group policies. ---------------------------------- display settings disabled: User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ System] System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ System] Value Name: NoDispCPL Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value) Value Data: (0 = disabled, 1 = enabled) SUMMARY: If you cannot change your Windows XP desktop wallpaper because all options are disabled, view this tip. A virus, certain spyware, a malformed registry, or other circumstances can transpire making it impossible for you to change the Windows XP desktop wallpaper. When you try to modify the background picture, neither the list of images nor the "Browse" button is clickable. If this happens, you can perform a registry tweak to restore the functionality. Note you must be an Administrator to perform this tip. NOTE: Be careful what you are doing when modifying the registry as you can harm your computer or keep it from booting! Read the disclaimer. 1. Run "Regedit". 2. Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ Windows\CurrentVersion\policies 3. If you see a folder (key) "ActiveDesktop" select it. If not, make a new key and label it "ActiveDesktop". 4. If you see "NoChangingWallPaper", double-click the DWORD value and set it to "0". Otherwise, you need to create a new DWORD value of "NoChangingWallPaper" and set it to "0". 5. Try changing your wallpaper. If this fix doesn't solve the problem, you may also need to make the above registry changes at location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies . ================================ If you want to see what services are being hosted by a particular svchost.exe instance, you can use the tasklist command from the command prompt in order to see the list of services. tasklist /SVC ========================================= EMM386 Not Installed--Unable to Set Page Frame Base Address Retired KB ArticleThis article was written about products for which Microsoft no longer offers support. Therefore, this article is offered "as is" and will no longer be updated. View products that this article applies to. Article ID : 75592 Last Review : May 10, 2003 Revision : 2.0 This article was previously published under Q75592 SYMPTOMS When you boot your computer and EMM386.EXE loads (from the CONFIG.SYS file) you may receive the following message: EMM386 Not Installed - Unable to set page frame base address Back to the top CAUSE This message indicates that EMM386 was unable to find 64K of contiguous space needed for the expanded memory page frame. When you specify the RAM switch (or no switch at all), EMM386 attempts to create a 64K page frame in the upper memory area (UMA). The actual amount of extended memory used will be 108K (64K + 44K = 108K). The extra 44K is used for tables that EMM386 sets up to emulate expanded memory. This 64K of space acts as a window into expanded memory allowing programs to see all the available expanded memory 64K at a time. Back to the top RESOLUTION If you receive the message noted above you can try the following: • Use the NOEMS switch if expanded memory service (EMS memory) is not needed. • Make sure HIMEM.SYS is installed above EMM386.EXE in the CONFIG.SYS file. Other devices should be loaded after EMM386.EXE. NOTE: Some hardware configurations require certain device drivers be loaded before HIMEM.SYS. Specific examples are: • DMDRVR.BIN (disk manager) • EMM.SYS (expanded memory driver) • ADAPTEC.SYS (driver for Adaptec controllers) ============================================== How to Prevent a Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Me Logon Prompt at Startup View products that this article applies to. Article ID : 152104 Last Review : May 7, 2007 Revision : 1.4 This article was previously published under Q152104 SUMMARY This article describes how to prevent Windows from prompting you for a password when you start Windows. Note that this information applies only if you are not using user profiles. If you have user profiles enabled, and you follow the steps in this article, Windows is not prevented from prompting you for a password. If you have enabled user profiles and you would like to disable or delete them before you follow these steps, view the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 156826 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/156826/EN-US/) How to Disable and Delete User Profiles MORE INFORMATION To prevent Windows from prompting you for a password at startup: 1. Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Network. 2. On the Configuration tab, click Windows Logon in the Primary Network Logon box, and then click OK. 3. When you are prompted to restart your computer, click No. 4. In Control Panel, double-click Passwords. 5. On the Change Passwords tab, click Change Windows Password, select any of the check boxes that you want, and then click OK. NOTE: If you cancel the network logon dialog box when you start your computer, the Change Passwords tab may not be available. You must log on so that the Change Passwords tab is available. 6. In the Change Windows Password dialog box, type your current Windows password in the Old Password box. Leave the New Password and Confirm New Password boxes blank, click OK, and then click OK. NOTE: If you have forgotten your old password, view the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 189126 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/189126/EN-US/) Microsoft's Policy Regarding Missing or Invalid Passwords 7.

Right-click one of the .pwl files, click Rename, and then rename the file with an .old file name extension. Repeat this step for each .pwl file. NOTE: If you do not rename the .pwl files, the passwords from those files may be detected by Windows and the Windows Logon request may continue to appear. 11. Shut down and then restart your computer. If you still receive a logon prompt, it may be caused by the TweakUI tool from Windows 95 Power Toys. If you have installed Windows 95 Power Toys and you are using the TweakUI tool, view the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 135586 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/135586/EN-US/) Hiding the Last Logged on User Name in Windows 95 For additional information about how to cache your Microsoft Windows NT domain password, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 140709 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/140709/EN-US/) How to Cache Your Windows NT Domain Password in Windows 95/98/Me ----------------------------------- change default wallpaper directory /Windows/ directory: 1.

When I open up the Web from any source, including shortcuts, it comes up in a reduced size and I have to click on Maximize to get the window to its full size. I have closed the windows in every way possible that I know of including File, Exit. But nothing changes. How can I get my Web pages to open up in full size? A. Programs like Internet Explorer will open to the same size and placement as they were when they were closed. The gotcha is that clicking the X in the upper right corner of the application does not officially close the program. That just exits the application quickly. If you want Internet Explore to open full-size when you start it up, you must first start IE. Then maximize the window. Now click File, then Close. Now restart IE, and it should start up in a full-sized window. If half of the window is off the screen when you start a program, bring the window to the location you want and then click File and then Close, and it will re-open in this position the next time. Changing the size of windows that appear when you click on an Internet link takes a few more steps. Open Internet Explorer. Now open another instance of Internet Explorer so that you have two running at the same time. In the second one, right-click a link and select Open In New Window. If the new window does not start in full screen, simply resize the window by dragging the edges out to the sides of the screen. Do not use the max button. Close the first window by selecting File, then Close. Now close the window you just made full size. But close it by holding down the Control key and selecting File, then Close. Do not release the Control key until the window is closed. Now close the last Internet Explorer window. If you do this right, the settings will stick. You may or may not have to reboot, depending on your operating system. ---------------------------------- from: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/183884-30-joining-domain-windows-media-center-2005: I KNOW that this belongs in the software section.
