Disable Automatic CHKDSK Option
Windows startup after a sudden shutdown leads to an annoying feature chkdsk. It automatically checks the entire drive for any infected files. This checking can be skipped by pressing any key before it starts during the blue screen which says:
"Checking file system on C:
The type of file system is NTFS.
One of the drives needs to be checked for consistency. You may cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended that you continue.
To skip disk checking, press any key within 10 second(s)."

The problem is that skipping is only a temporary option and though it is highly recommended, this chkdsk can be disabled manually. Even if the checking is skipped, it would prompt again during the next windows boot up.

2. and Type chkntfs /x (for example : chkntfs /x d: )
3. Try to type all drives

Any Folder as a Photo Folder
This tricks shows you how to setup any folder to display its contents as a photo folder. In many cases, you save your images/photos in a folder different than "My Pictures" (under "My Documents"). Since this folder you choose is just like any other normal folders, its contents displayed as a listing of files. You can temporary change it by just right-click and select "View" >> "Thumbnails". But if you want to change the folder so that everytime you come back, the folder itself, as well as all its subfolders, display the contents as photo thumbnails.
Here's How
- Right-click on the folder you choose and select "Properties"
- Select "Customize" Tab. Then under "Use this folder type as a template", select "Pictures (best for many files)"
- Check on "Also apply this template to all subfolders" to apply the setting to subfoders as well
Computer Continuously Rebooting After XP SP3 is installed
Stop Error 0x0000007E After SP3 is installed
I've had a few computers that will not boot correctly after I've installed Windows XP Service Pack 3 on them. The computer finishes the install and then prompts for a reboot. The computer will start to reboot then give a BSOD Stop Error for a second and reboot again. This process will continue unless the computer is started in Safe Mode. In Safe mode the computer boots correctly and everything seems fine.
This problem only appears on some systems after upgrading to SP3. This particular problem on systems that have been prepared with SysPrep. The sysprep image was created on an Intel based computer, and then the sysprep image is deployed on a Non-Intel system such as an AMD processor. In these cases, the registry entry for Intelppm is incorrectly set and causes the computer to go into a continuous reboot after the service pack has installed

Many computer users, specially the programmers, need to launch a command prompt window every once in a while to execute some dos/shell commands.
