UNLOAD DLL'S TO FREE UP MEMORY USAGE

 By Default, Windows XP keeps DLL files in memory after applications have finished using them, in case they are needed again. What are DLL (Dynamic Link Library) Files? In a nutshell, they are a small collection of functions that carry out tasks that are needed by an application. Windows, by default, keeps DLLs cached in the memory for some time after the application it was associated with is closed. To prevent this behavior and force Windows XP to unload the DLL when the program closes, follow this guide.

Before beginning this guide, please do the following


Click , 


then 


Type regedit then click 

                          

Navigate to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer

                          

On the right hand side, Right Click and select New then DWord

                          

Then type alwaysunloaddll for the name

                             

Then Double Click on the new Dword and change the value to 1

                              

Click OK, then Reboot.

PREVENT PROGRAMS FROM AUTO STARTING WITH MSCONFIG

 This tweak will give you a fairly large performance boost. What most people don't know is that every time you boot your computer a whole mess of "hidden" programs load in the background. To access this list, do the following:


Click , 

then 

Type msconfig then click 

                             

Click on the Startup tab, then uncheck programs you don’t want starting (by starting, I mean that these programs are always running, so by disabling them they won’t auto start but don’t worry, these programs will still be accessible).
In XP Essential programs are loaded through something called "Windows Services." This means that most of the startup items you see in XP are completely optional and can be turned off.
As a good rule of thumb if you don’t recognize the program name leave it on. If you see one that is blank (see below example) DEFINITELY DISABLE IT. These are usually spyware or viruses and you definitely don’t want them starting with your computer. When I see these I always run a Virus Check, then scan for Spyware.

                            

Reboot your computer and you should notice faster performance.

ADD "Copy to folder" TO THE RIGHT-CLICK MENU

 If you are a bit more experienced with Windows XP, you probably use the right click on your mouse quite a bit. Personally, I use the right click all the time (my motto is, when in doubt with what to do, try right clicking). While the standard menu options are really all you need, its always nice to make things a bit easier. This guide will show you how to add the option Copy To Folder… to your right click menu.

  Click ,


then


Type regedit then click

                         


Navigate to the following key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

Then on the left side, right click on the folder ContextMenuHandlers and select New then Key. Name the key Copy To

                           

Now, double click on the new created key and then on the right side, double click on Default and give it a value of: {C2FBB630-2971-11d1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}

                        

Reboot your computer. Now when your right click on any folder or file, you should now see a "Copy To Folder" option.

REMOVE PROGRAMS FROM ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS

In Windows XP, Uninstalling a program is supposed to be easy using the Add/Remove Programs utility; that is, when it works. If you have a program that you have uninstalled, but it is still showing up in the Add/Remove Programs List, you should do the following…

Before beginning this guide, please do this

Click ,

then

Type regedit then click 
                         

Then Navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
                              

Locate and Delete the folder of the program that is uninstalled but still appearing in the Add/Remove Programs.

                         
Reboot your computer.

THE 3 GOLDEN RULES FOR SAFER INTERNET BROWSING

Golden Rule #1 - Stop Using Internet Explorer, instead use Firefox or Opera
                                                
It's no secret that Internet Explorer is filled with security holes. While Internet Explorer 7 is a huge improvement over it's predecessor but it still is no where near as secure as Firefox.

When it comes to patching vulnerabilities found, Microsoft has been notorious for not releasing patches in a timely fashion. According to the Washington Post, Internet Explorer was known to have exploit code for unpatched critical flaws for 284 days of 2006 [1]. The article goes on to compare this with 9 days for Mozilla Firefox.

If you are still not convinced that Internet Explorer is the worst Piece -Of -S##t, read through this article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Internet_Explorer

That is why, Golden Rule #1 For safer internet browsing is,For safer browsing, do not use Internet Explorer .


Golden Rule #2 - No Toolbars Allowed! ! !
                             
When I say No Toolbars, I am talking about ALL Toolbars. I don't care if it is from Microsoft, Google, Symantec or whoever. So far I have never seen a toolbar that was absolutely necessary. And under the surface, all they do is provide another gateway into your pc to allow bad things into your pc.

Think of it this way, imagine you are in a house and outside of the house are tons of honeybees. Now lets say you were trying to not allow any honeybees into the house. It wouldn't make sense to go around and open all of the windows of the house, would it?

For each toolbar added, you are opening a window.No matter how useful the toolbar is, it does not compare to the massive security risk you are taking by installing and using that toolbar.

That is why, Golden Rule #2 For safer internet browsing is, No Toolbars! ! !


Golden Rule #3 - Don’t Use File Sharing Programs such as Limewire, Kazaa, Shareaza, Edonkey, Bearshare etc.
                      
                                   
  These types of programs are filled with all kinds of bad things. In my experience, I would say 1 out of every 10 files contains a virus/worm/spyware. Yes, I know, it is nice to be able to download that new song you heard on the radio or download the latest software, all for free. But realize that by doing this, you are playing with a loaded gun, when it comes to the security of your computer.

For me, being in the PC repair field, I see this all the time. But what really gets to me, is the fact that people realize that using File Sharing Programs are a risk and are breeding grounds for virus/worms, but then when their PC gets a horrible virus or worm on it, they are confused by how it could have gotten on their system.

It doesn’t matter how great your firewall is or how many spyware scans you do a day, using these types of file sharing programs puts your pc “in the line of fire” for virus and worms.

For safer browsing, do not use or install file sharing programs. Period.
