Windows XP Tips 5

Set up a private folder for important files in Windows XP

If you have more users in Windows XP, for security, we can set some folders as personal private folders, and others cannot view and change the contents of a private folder. However, before using this feature, your drive partition format must be in NTFS format.

Open My Computer, and then double-click Open the Documents and Settings folder in C and select the specified user folder. Right-click any folder in the user profile and choose Properties from the pop-up right-click menu. Select the Sharing tab in the pop-up window and select the Make this folder private check box so that the private folder is set up successfully.

Prompt application initialization failure when shutdown

Q: I am using the Windows XP system, for some reason, the most recent shutdown when the "because the window is closed, application initialization failed" Such a dialog box, and now the speed of the system startup program is also significantly reduced, excuse me, what is the reason for this?

A: Prompted because Windows has started a shutdown operation, but a background program is creating a window, because the resource has been released by Windows, the window creation failed. It is recommended that you turn off all Third-party programs before shutting down, and if there is a problem, you can use the latest version of antivirus software to do a comprehensive scan to see if there is a virus.

Retrieve the Missing "My Documents"

Q: I am using the Windows XP system, recently in the software to modify the system icon, I do not know is the wrong operation or how, found that the desktop on the "My Documents" icon disappeared, what can be done to find it?

A: On the desktop, click the right mouse button, select "Properties", open the Display Properties dialog box, on the Desktop tab, click on the "Customize Desktop → desktop Icon", remove the hook before the "My document", click Apply, then hit the hook, click Apply, see "My Documents" is not back again.

Also talk about Windows XP automatic login

In order to avoid entering user names and passwords in the User logon screen prior to Windows XP logon, the usual method is to modify the registry. Open it

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon"

Branch, create a new (or set) string value of DefaultUserName and DefaultPassword, and set their values to the user name and password for automatic logon. In addition, create a new AutoAdminLogon string value and set the value to 1.

If you do not want to modify the registry, here I also put forward another way. When Windows XP has only one user with an empty password, and the Guest account is disabled, and the system is not a member of the domain, Windows XP automatically logs on, and the interface for selecting users and entering passwords does not appear.

And when the system has more than one user, you can click "Start → run", enter control Userpasswords2, click "OK", the "User Account" dialog box appears. Here, cancel the "to use this computer, the user must enter a username and password" before the hook. Click "OK", will appear a new dialog box, ask to set the automatic login to which user, here enter the user name of the automatic login, password, OK.

Uninstalling Recovery Console

A lot of friends. To facilitate the use of the "Recovery Console" under Windows 2000/xp/2003 to diagnose and restore system functionality, it is installed on the hard disk. However, the Recovery Console does not provide an executable uninstall program, so how do we uninstall it when we no longer need it? This article is published in http://bianceng.cn (computer science)

First, you want to delete the installation files on your hard disk directly from the Recovery Console. By default, its location is the Cmdcons folder under the system partition. Then click "Control Panel → system", in the "System Properties" window, click on the "Advanced" option page, click "Startup and Recovery Failure" in the "Settings" button, in the pop-up dialog box click the "Edit" button. Finally, in the pop-up file named boot, delete the following statement:

"C:\CMDCONS\BOOTSECT. dat= "Microsoft Windows XP Recovery Console"/cmdcons "

You can uninstall the Recovery Console.
