For example Word 2003 saved files with extension .doc, Excel 2003 with .xls and PowerPoint with .ppt. but on the other office 2007 used the new file extensions for its different programs. For example Word 2007 saved files with extension .docx, Excel 2007 with .xlsx and PowerPoint with .pptx.

The Microsoft Registry Editor (REGEDIT) {Session 1}

REGISTRY means registration of programs & their settings

and data into your computer.
EDITOR means to edit these settings to your requirements.

The Windows Registry is a configuration database that

stores settings and options on Microsoft Windows operating

systems. It contains settings for low-level operating

system components as well as the applications running on

the platform:
the kernel(1),Device Drivers(2), Window service(3)
SAM(4),user interface(5) and third party application(6) all

make use of the Registry.
Registry Editor is an advanced tool for viewing and

changing settings in your system registry, which contains

information about how your computer runs. Almost the

complete settings are stored in the registry. For example,

when you re size a program window, the window position (x,y

points) is stored in the registry so that the settings are

kept permanently. This is just an example, there are much

more data stored in the registry. Although Registry Editor

enables you to inspect and modify the registry
Note:
* it's advisable to use Registry Editor only if the GUI

does not provide the option you're looking for. Making

incorrect changes in the registry can break your system.
* It's highly advisable to backup the registry before
editing any portion of it.
Thanx.
(next session is to how to backup registry and reuse it)

---------------------
(1)The kernel's responsibilities include managing the

system's resources,the communication between hardware and

software components
(2)higher-level computer programs to interact with a

hardware device
(3)a long-running executable that performs specific

functions
(4)Security Accounts Manager,It stores users' passwords in

a hashed format
(5) GUI the way ur operating system looks like.e.g ur xp

look.
(6)is a reusable software component developed to be either

freely distributed or sold by an entity other than the

original vendor of the development platform
---------------------

How To Backup Registry {Session 2}

now u have backed up ur registry...
whenever u make any change in regedit. or may be u installed new softwares and some errors appearing in ur system settings.. then open that file which was backed up by you....

How to avoid auto play of CD ? Way I like best tip.

Hey this time no registry trick even though there are ways in registry to do it. In earlier operating systems only those CD that had autorun.inf file in their root directory were able to execute on its own but with advent of WINDOWS XP it has become possible with just about anything. Well sometimes it is good but there are other times when you want to avoid this part of automation. What would I do. Simply press SHIFT key when you enter a CD in your CD drive. It won't Auto play. For those of you, who do want a registry hack. Here it is:
Open Registry and navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWA
RE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer] and look for key "NoDriveTypeAutoRun" and set its value to 185 (decimal). This would stop autoplay.

Note:
Always Take backup of the registry

Add a subtitle to a youtube movie with Windows movie maker

Uploading your home made movies or even professional productions to youtube is becoming everyone favourite past time. What a great way to share your videos and home movies.
You can upload a video to youtube and make it private or public.

I found myself addicted to youtube and started to make short computer tutorials to upload. I wanted to use the youtube videos to get people to go to my websites and so I decided to put a simple subtitle at the start of the movie. When I say simple, I mean very simple! As you will see in the video below, I use Windows movie maker to edit the video.

Windows movie maker is a program that comes with Windows XP and I had never realized how easy it was to use. A great program right under my nose the entire time.

I made my little video tutorials with the free screen recorder called Cam studio. After that I simply imported the video into Windows movie maker and added the subtitles there.

As you will see, your subtitles can say anything you like. You can change the font, color, effects, and more on you subtitle. Maybe you should do an experiment of your own.

I know my movies are not professional but I think the subtitle makes it look a little bit better anyway.

Windows movie maker - save a movie to your computer

In the previous post it showed you how to add subtitles to a movie with Windows movie maker. Now this video will show you how to save that movie to your computer. It will end up as a .wmv file which will be more compatiable with other players, including Windows media player.

If you have added subtitles or any special effects it will all be saved as one movie. The title, your movie, transitions, and end titles will all become one.

Windows XP Control panel - Add or remove programs

Some people don't realize that you have to use Add or remove programs in the control panel to remove programs from your computer safely. And if you do not do it properly you are left with bits of files all the computer, which soon cluuters up your computer and slows it down.

To use the Windows Add or remove program feature is very easy, but make sure you know what program you are removing. You do not want to remove your virus checker or firewall program by accident.

How do you find the Add or Remove feature in the control panel?

  1. Go to the start menu at the bottom left corner.
  2. Choose control panel from the menu.
  3. Double click on the Add or Remove Programs icon.
  4. Now choose the program that you want to remove. Make it blue by selecting it.
  5. Then press the remove button.

For more information you can also watch this video tutorial below.


Save backup files, photos, and data to cd with Windows XP

If you have Windows XP it is easy to backup your files, including photos, pictures, emails, word documents, data, and basically anything that is important to you. It is just a matter of having a blank cd in your burner and then right clicking on any file or folder that you want to add to the cd.

How to add files and folders to save to a cd in Windows XP:

  1. Put a blank cd in your cd burner.
  2. Browse through your computer for files or folders that you want to save to cd.
  3. Right click on the file and a menu will appear.
  4. Choose send to, then choose to send to the cd drive that the blank cd is in.
  5. Keep adding files, photos, or whatever you like. (usually 700mb)
  6. When you have finished you can press on write files to cd in the left menu bar.
  7. The cd will burn.

How to find the CD writing dialog box:

  1. Go to the start menu, choose my computer.
  2. Then look for the icon for your cd burner which will have your blank cd in.
  3. Double click on it to open.
  4. This is where you will see the blue menu on the left.

Watch this video on how to backup files, photos, and data to a cd:

Notes:

  • You can also double click on the balloon message that appears in the right corner. It says you have files ready to be writen to a cd.. This will also open the cd writing dialog box.
  • A cd will fit around 700mb of files and data. Movies usually do not fit onto a cd unless they are short or compressed to do so. A blank dvd disc will fit 4.7gb of data.
  • The built in Windows cd writing program does not work with DVD burning.



Format your computer yourself with a Windows XP cd

People are starting to realize that the internet has provided a wealth of information for free. One of the most popular subjects about computers is how to format your computer using a Windows XP cd.
The local computer repair guy probably does not want the average computer user to know how to format a computer, however, sorry guys, the information is out there!!!

If you go to Google and type in "how to format a computer using a Windows XP cd" you will find that this page comes in at number two.. How To Format a Computer Using a Windows XP disc.

Why has it come in above Microsoft Windows Xp's own page.... Well, for one thing, it is probably much easier to understand than the complicated tech talk on the Microsoft Website. Not saying that the Micosoft Windows site is not useful, because it is.

If you type in "how to format a computer" Microsoft does not even make it into the top 10. However How To Format a Computer Using a Windows XP disc comes in at number 11.

These stats may change, however I strongly suggest that you check out this page if you are looking at formatting your computer yourself. In fact there is an entire "how to" Format Windows XP menu available.

How to use Windows XP System Restore tool

System Restore is a Windows System tool that backups your computer or basically takes a snapshot of it, to restore to it at a later date. So for example if you set a restore point when you first get your computer, if you look at it, thats exactly what you get if you restore back to that spot.

Even though system restore leaves the files you created intact, it will not leave programs on your comuter that you did not have when the snap shot was taken. So if you have photos and files they will still be on your computer when you restore it to an earlier date, however any programs you installed after the snap shot will have to be re-installed to use. Just remmber that system restore will not recover a file that you have deleted so if you are restoring, hoping that your accidentally deleted file will come back...it won't.

I use System restore at least a few times a week. Just before I am going to install something, including Windows updates, I set a restore point. This is just incase something out of the blue ruins my smoothly running computer. Trust me, it has come in very handy.

Sometimes you don't even have to do anything and your computer can still go haywire. As we all know they have a mind of thier own.

Watch this video to see how to get to system restore and how to use it.

When you run MSCONFIG, Registry Editor (regedit) or Task Manager, they flash for a second and quit.

This symptom is caused by Viruses. These three

are important system utilities which the viruses target.

A quick method is to rename the files and run them.

Extracting new copies of these files with the same name may

not help. Rename these utilities and run them or download this program

from the link

http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_emerutils.htm
(NOTE: Your anti-virus software may warn of a potentially
malicious script. This is normal, as the Windows Scripting
Host is used to create the "copies" of these 3 utilities)

This program creates usable copies of MSCONFIG, REGEDIT AND

TASK MANAGER
and it copies to following place: C:\EmergencyUtils folder.

now u can run the msconfig, task manager, and registry editor
