Now we download stuff almost daily. New products pop out so often. You can use any software forever you want. You can download trial version, right. Trial version expires after some days. You can stop that expiration. You can tell trial version of the software to not count days or do not bother about time. The software will stay and keep working like original software forever and will not expire or cease to work. You do not have to change your system clock. This little software does it all.

Time Stopper : use Trial Version software forever without Expiration

Time Stopper is the software which can stop the time for try out version software. When you stop the time you can use your try-out versions forever. When you stop the time of a try-out version using this Time Stopper it works via this Time Stopper. Real time and date run normally on your system. You can use any number of try-out version softwares with this software.

How it Works

Task manager is a powerful Windows tool for managing system services, processes, monitoring system activity and starting or closing applications. It is basically extended version of run box and it comes very handy to operate within Windows system. That’s way many system administrators prefer to disable task manager on public computers to restrict access to major critical system resources which could lead to system compromise.Here we will show you how to modify registry to disable and re-enable Windows task manager.

Goto start and click on run(Win+r) and type in regedit and find this input

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System.

If you do not see “System” folder under Policies you can create it by right mouse click on Policies > Key > and name it System. Than point your mouse pointer to an empty area, right click it and choose create new DWORD (32 bit) value. Name it DisableTaskMgr and press enter. Than double click it and set Hexadecimal value to 1. Press enter and reboot computer. After than task manager will be disabled on your machine and inaccessible. If you later decide to enable task manager again, navigate once against to dword 32 value we just created and simply delete it or change value to 0. Navigate to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

If there’s no key called “System” right click Policies navigate to “New -> Key” in the right click menu and type “System” to create a new key.(skip this step if you have the key) To disable task manager right click the empty area in the right side pane and create a key with the following settings “New -> DWORD (32-bit) Value” and type “DisableTaskMgr” and press Enter.(without the quotes) Right click on “DisableTaskMgr” and click “Modify”, type 1 and press ok(see screen caps for more info) to enable task manager simply navigate to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

right click “DisableTaskMgr” click delete and click yes for confirmation.

All Windows XP machine has Remote Desktop service that allows the computer to be remotely connected, accessed and controlled from another computer or host. However, all windows XP machine except Windows XP Professional and Windows XP Media Center Edition only allows one concurrent remote desktop connection from a single user. But Windows XP Professional and Windows XP Media Center Edition will allow multiple remote desktop sessions or multiple concurrent remote desktop connections from a single user.

Whenever a remote user client tries to connect to a Windows XP host, the local user will disconnect with the local console screen locking them, with or without his or her permission.

Here’s a hack to unlock the single user limitation and enable multiple concurrent remote desktop connection session support in Windows XP SP2 .So that unlimited users can simultaneously connect to a computers same user via Remote Desktop. Follow the steps below:

1. Download ConcurrentRemoteDesk.rar (To download click on the link) and extract the file (If you don’t have WinRAR click here to download).
2. Restart the computer and boot in Safe Mode by pressing F8 during initial boot up and by selecting Safe Mode. (This step is only required if you’re currently running Windows Terminal Services or Remote Desktop service, and System File Protection has to be skipped and bypassed, else it will prompt error).
3. Go to %windir%\System32 %windir%\System32\dllcacheand make a backup copy of termsrv.dll in both folders.
4. Copy the downloaded termsrv.dll into %windir%\System32,%windir%\ServicePackFiles\i386 (if exist), %windir%\System32\dllcache
5. Then run the downloaded Multiremotedesk.reg to merge the registry value into registry or you can add it manually
   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Terminal Server\Licensing Core]
   “EnableConcurrentSessions”=dword:00000001

   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
   “EnableConcurrentSessions”=dword:00000001

   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
   “AllowMultipleTSSessions”=dword:00000001

6. Click on Start Menu -> Run command and type gpedit.msc and press Enter to open up the Group Policy Editor.
7. Navigate to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Terminal Services.
8. Enable Limit Number of Connections and set the number of connections to 3 (or more). This setting will allow more than one users to use the computer.
9. Ensure the Remote Desktop is enabled in System Properties -> Remote tab by selecting the radio button for Allow users to connect remotely to this computer.
10. Enable and turn on Fast User Switching in Control Panel -> User Accounts -> Change the way users log on or off.
11. Restart the computer normally.

To uninstall, revert back to original termsrv.dll .You probably have to do it in Safe Mode if the Terminal Services is enabled and running.

Comparing Registries

While working with changes to your system, you might want to see what is changing in your Registry.Since you can export it to a text file, the steps are fairly easy
Start Regedit
With the very top level select – My Computer, on the Toolbar select Registry / Export Registry File
I usually save it to the root of the C: drive with the name before (you don’t need to add an extension)
Make the change to your system
Go back to Regedit
Press F5 to update it
Export the Registry like step 2
Name the file after and have it go in the same directory
Open up a DOS window
Go to the directory where the two exported files are
Enter FC before.reg after.reg > diff.txt
Then you can edit diff.txt with your favorite text editor.

Here are some useful hacks for Windows Vista. As usual, back up your registry before you try them.

To change the name of the registered user or company,browse to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\ CurrentVersion

and look for RegisteredOwner and RegisteredOrganization. Double click on them and change the values.

Slow down animations

If you have a sufficiently powerful machine and love the animations in Vista, you might want to slow them down a bit. Navigate to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ Microsoft\Windows\DWM.
Once there, create a new key by right clicking on the space below existing keys and choose New > DWORD (32bit) Value.
Call it AnimationShiftKey and enter the value as 1. After rebooting the machine, whenever you want to slow down the animations, press the [Shift] key before it starts.
Encrypting and decrypting files in Vista is a multi-click process which takes a fair bit of navigating. With a registry hack, this task can be done with a simple right-click. Navigate to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/ Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/Advanced

and create a new 32-bit DWORD. Call it EncryptionValue and use the value as 1 there. After the system is restarted, you can get encrypting with just a right-click.

Speeding up Flip3D:

Eye candy is well and good, but not all of us have topof-the-line graphic cards to render all the sleek effects. This hack will limit the number of windows that are rendered in 3D, which will hopefully let you have your cake and eat it too.
Navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM
And create a new DWORD value called Max3DWindows. The value should be set to a number between 4 and 9:
higher the number the more muscle your graphics card needs to pack. Try it out with different number values by opening multiple windows and checking out the difference.

As an added security precaution it is possible to clear all data that has been written to the page file so it cannot be retrieved. The downside to this tweak is that it may substantially increase shutdown time depending on the amount of data in the page file.
[Start] –> [Run] –> Type Regedit –> Press Enter –> then Navigate to following Registry Key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management

Right click in the right pane and create a new DWORD value with name ClearPageFileatShutDown and set its value to ” 1″  to enable clearing page file. “0″ to disable clearing page file.

If you dont like the shortcuts on your multimedia keyboard jsut because they launch the default programs given by windows then here is a way to change them.

Internet key

Open the Registry Editor and navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AppKey\7

Right-click in the right column and create a new String called ShellExecute Set the value as the application path, for example, C:\Program Files\Opera\Opera.exe. If you want to disable the key, delete the value from shell execute and leave it blank.

To change the media player shortcut follow the same procedure with appkey\15

Creating a desktop shortcut for locking your comp!

If you use your computer in an area where others may have access to it, and there are things on your system you would rather have kept confidential, locking your desktop when you leave the computer is an essential task. Here’s a recipe for a desktop shortcut that will lock your computer in two easy clicks:

Right click on an empty area of the desktop and choose ‘new’ then ‘shortcut.’ The create shortcut wizard will open; in the first text box, type ‘%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation’ and then give your shortcut an appropriate name on the next page, and hit ‘finish.’

You will notice that the shortcut you created has a blank icon. To select a more appropriate one, right click on the shortcut and hit ‘properties.’ In the ‘shortcut’ tab, click the ‘change icon’ button.

In the ‘look for icons in this file’ box, type ‘%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll’ then click ‘ok’ to see a range of icons for your new shortcut. Choose an appropriate icon. Your desktop locking shortcut is now ready for use. Test it out.

Deleting System Softwares

I don’t see any reason for there to be a delay when I click on the Start Menu. Effects are pretty, but I wouldn’t click on it if I didn’t have business inside, so lets get it open and get moving. The default speed can be adjusted with a quick registry entry.
The default value is 400. Set it to 0 and the delay is gone, but it will be nearly impossible to move the mouse fast enough not to activate [All Programs] if you mouse over it in route to your final selection. It’s easy to train yourself to move the pointer to the right after clicking Start to avoid activating All Programs. Pick a number that suits your style and make the change, then test it until you find a good compromise between speed and usability.

Okay here’s the method:

Click Start, Run and type in Regedit

Registry Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
Look fo the key named MenuShowDelay
Setting for Value Data: (Default = 400 / Adjust to Preference Preferably 0)

Exit Registry and Reboot

Would you prefer to display your shortcuts without the arrow in the bottom left hand corner? This tip will show you how to change the arrow icon or remove it completely

To remove the shortcut arrows:

Method 1:
1. Open your notepad or any script editor

2. Copy and paste the script below into you notepad and save the file with .vbs extension e.g noArrow.vbs, just save it to your desktop

Option Explicit

Dim objShell, strRoot, strRead, strDelete, strCreate
strRoot = “HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile\IsShortCut”
‘ Create the Shell object
Set objShell = CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”)
strDelete = objShell.RegDelete(strRoot)
WScript.Echo “Error No: ” & err.number & ” check ” & strRoot
strDelete = null
WScript.Quit

3. Double click your VBScript, then ‘OK’ the message box. To see the arrows disappear, simply logoff and logon again. Tadaaa!!!! The arrows disappear!!..hahaaaa

Method 2:

Open Registry editor

Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT

Find piffile and lnkfile…………………….and just delete it.

Reboot your computer.

To Change the Icon:
Open the key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Explorer\Shell Icons] and create a new string value, or modify the existing value, called ’29′. Set it to equal the filename, including path, for the icon you want to use for the shortcut arrow. By setting this to a blank icon it has a similar effect to the removal method above, without the side effects.

Restart Windows for the changes to take effect.

Note: This tweak effectively changes the properties of shortcuts so they are no longer considered to be shortcuts by Windows, this may have some slight side effects, such as hot keys not working as before.
