How to change the default folder where the install program

By default, if the windows operating system is installed on drive C, then the programs or software installed will be located in the folder C: \ Program Files. More and more shobat install the program or software, the more space is needed in the partition C and automatic residual space / volume on partition C will be minor. Thus it will be a slow computer performance.

To prevent this, we can overcome them by changing the default program installation folder from C: / Program Files to another folder that has been created specifically for the installation program (eg course, D: / Programku). Thus each of us to install the program, the installation program will lead to the folder D: / Programku not on C: / Program Files. For that we made some changes to the registry editor.
Go to the registry editor
Simply go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion
In the right pane, double-click on the key ProgramFilesDir
Change the value data from C: / Program Files to D: / Programku (or other folder that shobat desire)

Click OK
Restart or logoff computer
From now on if shobat do install a software or program, the file installasinya will be in the folder D: / Programku.
The steps above can be performed on Windows XP and Windows 7

How to activate the standby button in windows xp

The first time windows installed, the standby button on windows xp is usually still in a state of inactive or disabled. It is marked with a color standby button is gray, not yellow. This is very useful standby button once. When shobat leave the computer turned on and will be used again, then sebaiknyalah arranged so that the computer is in standby. In standby mode, the monitor will die while the cpu power only while living alone who was also in a state off the hard drive. Thus will save more electricity. If it will be used again just press the power button, it will appear the windows logon and shobat to continue the work that had been abandoned earlier.

To access the standby button, it can be done as we will shutdown the computer. From the start menu, then select turn off computer, it will appear the windows turn off computer. There are 3 options are on stand by, turn off and restart. Just click on stand by, then the computer will be on stand-by condition. However, if the stand-by button is inactive, then to enable or unlock the keys to stand by this, it can be done by installing a VGA driver using the CD drivers from the computer's motherboard. If shobat not have the cd, shobat can be downloaded on the website of the brand motherboard.

Once installed, the stand-by button will become active and can be used.

speed up booting Windows XP

Booting on our computers getting slower? Okey, this time we will try to speed up booting Windows XP by editing the registry. Why can accelerate? Because the trick this time we try to disable a process called boot defragmenter. Boot process is used by Windows Defragmenter to rearrange files needed by Windows when booting. This function will be routinely done every time we turn on the computer. If you want to disable the Boot
Defragmenter, make sure that your files in a state-ordered.

To disable it, follow these steps:

1. Go to the registry editor, by pressing the start button> Run, then type regedit.

2. Go to the subkey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE Microsoft Dfrg BootOptimizeFunction

3. In the right pane, find the String Value named [Enable], then double click
String Value.

4. Fill value to N to disable, and set the value to Y, to activate it again.

Restart your computer to get the desired result.

Broadcom's On Board With Linux. Who's Next?

Though they might not have admitted it in public at the time, Linux advocates spent a large of the last decade grumbling about poor support for wireless networking devices. A big source of their discontent was Wi-Fi chip maker Broadcom, which produced a lot of the mobile chipsets and never got around to releasing Linux drivers for its wares.

Now, however, Broadcom has begun to release Linux drivers licensed liberally enough for distribution with the Linux kernel. Besides making life easier for Linux laptop users, Enterprise Networking Planet columnist Brian Proffitt suggests that holdout manufacturers might start seeing the sense of broadening their own support of Linux.

Looking forward, the ease-of-use benefits will make it easier for Linux to be shipped as an OEM platform, and installed post-market by technology adopters. More importantly, having a major hardware vendor like Broadcom take a look at Linux and decide to invest the time and effort in creating a Linux driver should mean that other hardware vendors sitting on the fence regarding a Linux driver for their own offerings may come to the conclusion that Linux is something they can no longer ignore.

They may have come to that conclusion already. The success of the Android operating system has pushed a lot of vendors (including Broadcom) to create drivers for Android devices. The BCM4319 and BCM4329 SDIO chipsets were already supported on Android, which is close enough to Linux to get support for those devices into Android's predecessor. As Android shows up on more devices, you can expect to see more Linux-ready hardware drivers appearing in the near future.

Linux will also be collecting drivers on its own merits, I would expect. Whatever the tipping point was for Broadcom to release this driver, I have a hard time believing other vendors won't be following suit quickly, especially given how resistant to Linux Broadcom has been in the past.

It is, after all, just one driver among many, and there are indeed many more drivers needed. But Broadcom may the the leader of a driver rush for Linux, which is something the operating system has needed for a long time

Reverse the mouse buttons

1) No context menu

What will you see when you right click on the desktop? You will see a context menu which says arrange icons, refresh,..and so on. Are you angry at your friend for not wishing you for you B'day? Do you wanna play a trick on a newbie in your family who is new to computers? This is a cool trick to play. By this tweak, you will be able to disable the right click on the desktop or any icons/files/folders/applications... But right click will work on taskbar of the start button and registry. So, dont worry!!!

Open your registry and you will see all unknown files like HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT....... and so on. Don't panic. Follow this path.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER>SOFTWARE>MICROSOFT>WINDOWS>CURRENT VERSION>POLICIES>EXPLORER. On the right side of the registry, you will see two files(in general) named 'default' and 'NoDriveTypeAutoRun'. Right click on the empty space in the registry and goto New>DWORD VALUE and name it as "NoViewContextMenu". Remember, no spaces and N,V,C,M should be capitals. Right click on this and click modify. The default value will be 0. Change it to 1. Note: DONOT CHANGE THE HEXADECIMAL TO DECIMAL. Click OK. Close your registry and logout. Bingo!!! Once you login again, right click wont work. Your friend will be perplexed and the next thing he/she does is call the system administrator not knowing that not all system administrators will be knowing about registry. Now, to enable it again. follow the same path and set the value to 0. Logout and then login to see the effect.

2) Reverse the mouse buttons
This is a cool trick to play on newbies. Actually, there are two ways to do this. One is changing the settings in the Control panel and the other is through editing registry. You can do it either way. But I prefer the second way, which is challenging.
(i) Through Control Panel - goto Start> Control Panel> Printers and other hardware> Mouse. In Button configuration, enable the switch primary and secondary buttons option and click OK. But remember, you have just swapped the mouse buttons. So, for OK, you have to click the right mouse button. The newbie will be perplexed. Well, this trick is good for left handers.
(ii) Editing the registry - By default the left mouse button is the primary and the right is secondary. Open your registry and follow this path:
HLEY_CURRENT_USER>Control Panel>Mouse and on the right side of the registry, create this String value(REG_SZ): 'SwapMouseButtons' and set its value to 1. Bingo!!! You are done. Log out/Restart the computer.

You can try this: Combine tricks 1 and 2. That means, this will result in swapping of the mouse buttons and disabling the left click(once the buttons are swapped). User is ready to call system administrator cuz he feels that the system is behaving wildly.
