Desktop Patterns from Previous Windows Versions


If you've been around previous Windows versions you more than likely remember some of the hideous desktop patterns that were available. They're still here in XP waiting to be resurrected. Hey, they can't be any worse than the default XP scheme, can they? On second thought, maybe they can.

The desktop patterns from previous versions are stored in the registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Patterns. The names and values are shown in the screen capture below:

[Start] [Run] [Regedit]
Registry Key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
Modify/Create the Value Data Type(s) and Value Name(s) as detailed below.
Data Type: REG_SZ [String Value] // Value Name: Pattern
Setting for Value Data: [Use the data value from the chart above or Key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Patterns]
Exit Registry and Reboot

Disable Save Desktop Configuration on Exit

Default behavior for XP is to save the desktop configuration on exiting the operating system. To prevent saving the desktop configuration, implement the following registry edit.

[Start] [Run] [Regedit]
Registry Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Modify/Create the Value Data Type(s) and Value Name(s) as detailed below.
Data Type: REG_DWORD (Dword Value) // Value Name: NoSaveSettings
Setting for Value Data: [0 = Disabled / 1 = Enabled]
Exit Registry and Reboot

Customize Windows Media Player Title Bar

Allows you to change the title bar to read Windows Media Player provided by , so if I had entered text of [The Elder Geek], it would read: Windows Media Player provided by The Elder Geek
The Procedure is:--

[Start] [Run] [Regedit]
Registry Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft
Create the Key [WindowsMediaPlayer].
Modify/Create the Value Name [TitleBar] according to the Value Data listed below.
Data Type: REG_SZ [String Value] // Value Name: TitleBar
Value Data: [Enter the text to be displayed in the title bar.]

Note: Whatever text you enter as the value data will be preceded by:
Windows Media Player provided by, so if I had entered text of [The Elder Geek], it would read:
Windows Media Player provided by The Elder Geek
Exit Registry and Reboot

How to Forge Email with Windows XP Telnet

Want a computer you can telnet into and mess around with, and not get into trouble no matter what you do to it? I've set up my
techbroker.com (206.61.52.33) with user xyz, password guest for you to play with. Here's how to forge email to xyz@techbroker.com using
telnet. Start with the command:

C:\>telnet techbroker.com 25
Connecting To Techbroker.com

220 Service ready

Now you type in who you want the message to appear to come from:

helo santa@techbroker.com
Techbroker.com will answer:

250 host ready

Next type in your mail from address:

mail from:santa@techbroker.com

250 Requested mail action okay, completed

Your next command:

rcpt to:xyz@techbroker.com
250 Requested mail action okay, completed

Your next command:
data
354 Start main input; end with .

Newbie note: just means hit return. In case you can't see that little period between the s, what you do to end composing your email is to hit enter, type a period, then hit enter again.

Anyhow, try typing:

This is a test.
.
250 Requested mail action okay, completed
quit
221 Service closing transmission channel

Connection to host lost.

Using techbroker's mail server, even if you enable full headers, the
message we just composed looks like:

Status: R
X-status: N

This is a test.

That's a pretty pathetic forged email, huh? No "from", no date.
However, you can make your headers better by using a trick with the data command. After you give it, you can insert as many headers as you choose. The trick is easier to show than explain:

220 Service ready
helo santa@northpole.org
250 host ready
mail from:santa@northpole.com
250 Requested mail action okay, completed
rcpt to:
250 Requested mail action okay, completed
data
354 Start main input; end with .
from:santa@deer.northpole.org
Date: Mon, 21 Oct 2002 10:09:16 -0500
Subject: Rudolf
This is a Santa test.
.
250 Requested mail action okay, completed
quit
221 Service closing transmission channel

Connection to host lost.

The message then looks like:

from:santa@deer.northpole.org
Date: Mon, 21 Oct 2002 10:09:16 -0500
Subject: Rudolf
This is a Santa test.

The trick is to start each line you want in the headers with one word
followed by a colon, and the a line followed by "return". As soon as
you write a line that doesn't begin this way, the rest of what you
type goes into the body of the email.

Notice that the santa@northpole.com from the "mail from:" command didn't show up in the header. Some mail servers would show both "from" addresses.

You can forge email on techbroker.com within one strict limitation.
Your email has to go to someone at techbroker.com. If you can find any way to send email to someone outside techbroker, let us know, because you will have broken our security, muhahaha! Don't worry, you have my permission.

Next, you can read the email you forge on techbroker.com via telnet:

C:\>telnet techbroker.com 110

+OK <30961.5910984301@techbroker.com> service ready

Give this command:
user xyz
+OK user is known

Then type in this:
pass test
+OK mail drop has 2 message(s)

retr 1
+OK message follows
This is a test.

If you want to know all possible commands, give this command:

help
+OK help list follows
USER user
PASS password
STAT
LIST [message]
RETR message
DELE message
NOOP
RSET
QUIT
APOP user md5
TOP message lines
UIDL [message]
HELP

Unless you use a weird online provider like AOL, you can use these
same tricks to send and receive your own email. Or you can forge email to a friend by telnetting to his or her online provider's email
sending computer(s).


Note:-Its fro education purpose only. I m not responsible for any inconvenience.

Improve Your PC Shutdown Time !!!!!



Open Registry by going to START-RUN and typing REGEDIT. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\CONTROL PANEL\DESKTOP and look for AutoEndTasks. On my computer default value is 0. Change it to 1. Thats all. Further more you can reduce the time it takes for Windows to issue kill directive to all active/hung applications.
In doing this only constraint that you should make sure exists is that HungAppTimeout is greater than WaitToKillAppTimeout. Change the values of WaitToKillAppTimeout to say 3500 (since default value for HungAppTimeout 5000 and for WaitToKillAppTimeout is 20000)

TopTricks for Windows Xp

Disabling Scandisk

When Windows is not shut down correctly, it will perform an AutoCheck

using CHKDSK on the next restart.

AutoCheck is executed after a short time delay. AutoCheck can be

disabled or delayed by tweaking a few Registry settings.

Run ‘Regedit’ from ‘Start Menu|Run...’

Go to ‘HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE|SYSTE

M|CurrentControlSet|Control|Session

Manager’.

Create a new DWORD value, or

modify the existing value, called

“AutoChkTimeOut” and set it according

to the value data below.

Value Name: AutoChkTimeOut.

Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value).

Value Data: Time in Seconds or 0 to disable

(default = 10).

Exit your registry, you may need to

restart or log out of Windows for the

change to take effect.


Monitoring the system

There are various applications you can use to monitor the state of your

system at any given time. One of them is a program called CoolMon (www.coolmon.org) where you can monitor about 22 of

the most geekiest system parameters like the temperature and speed of your system fans, the number of processes running, the total available memory on your hard disk and RAM, CPU utilization, etc. Each

of these can be individually con. gured to appear on the interface. Best of all, this monitoring happens in real time. Better still, the program is free.

If you need more details than what is offered by Windows System Information or the Device Manager, try out an application called Everest Home Edition (www.lavalys.com). This application hunts through your hardware and software setup and extracts every piece of information you might need about your processor, motherboard, graphics card,

hard disk and any other piece of hardware or software information that you might care to know about your computer.

number i.e Q33N... Increase the Font Size to 72, Change the Font to

Wingdings. U will be amazed by the findings.

log trick !! make ur Notepad a diary !!

Sometimes we want to insert current data and time, whenever we open the file in the notepad. If you are a lazy person like me, who don’t like to press F5 whenever you open a notepad. Then here is a trick to avoid this. Just add a .LOG in the first line of your text file and close it.

Whenever you open the file with that text in the first line in the notepad, it will insert the current date and time at the end of the file. You can start entering your text after that.

WHY?

The reason this happens:

In notepad, any other 4-3-3-5 letter word combo will have the same results.

It is all to do with a limitation in Windows. Text files containing Unicode UTF-16-encoded Unicode are supposed to start with a "Byte-Order Mark" (BOM), which is a two-byte flag that tells a reader how the following UTF-16 data is encoded.

1) You are saving to 8-bit Extended ASCII (Look at the Save As / Encoding format)

2) You are reading from 16-bit UNICODE (You guessed it, look at the Save As / Encoding format)

This is why the 18 8-bit characters are being displayed as 9 (obviously not supported by your codepage) 16-bit UNICODE characters

~ cheers ~

Changing Header and Footer

Ever printed the little text you wrote in Notepad? More often than not, the printout starts with “Untitled” or the filename at top, and “Page 1? on bottom. Want to get rid of it, or change it? Click on File, Page Setup. Get rid of the characters in Header and Footer boxes, and write what you want as Header and Footer. Use the following codes.

&l Left-align the characters that follow

&c Center the characters that follow

&r Right-align the characters that follow

&d Print the current date

&t Print the current time

&f Print the name of the document

&p Print the page number

Print tree root

a. Open NOTEPAD and enter {print tree root}

b. After that hit enter and type C:\windows\system

c. After that hit enter and type {print C:\windows\system\winlog

d. Hit enter and type 4*43?$@[455]3hr4~

e. Then save the file as teekids in C:\windows\system.

Hack admin without login

Well recently one of my good girl that is a friend got a laptop from her dad. Her dad does websites so the laptop was new and worked fine, but needed to be defraged. The one problem, her nor her dad knew the admin password. I told her to post her question on Trap 17 and it got answered with in minutes.
All you have to do is these few steps:
1. Reboot
2. Before the windows logo comes up press F11 (Just start clicking it over and over again until the windows logo comes up.)
3. Just sit and let it do it's thing and when the login screen comes up click on the Admin icon (It was a picture of a pink flower on her account)
4. After it logs in go to control panel
5. Then go to User Accounts
6. either make an old, non, admin account an admin account or create a new one
6a. If you wanna make a new account just click Create a New Account > Pick a username > Set setting as an admin
6b. If you wanna change an account to an admin: Click the account > Change the Account Type > the Select Admin
7. Then thats it reboot and it's all done. Make sure not to reboot in safe mode though!
the point of this post was how easy XP is hacked. Why is it this easy? Is there software to prevent this? I'm not worried about my PC, but what about others?
