Firefox Speed Tweaks

Firefox is already pretty damn fast but did you know that you can tweak it and improve the speed even more?

That's the beauty of this program being open source.
Here's what you do:
In the URL bar, type “about:config” and press enter. This will bring up the configuration “menu” where you can change the parameters of Firefox.


Double Click on the following settings and put in the numbers below - for the true / false Booleans  - they’ll change when you double click.

Code:
browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs – true
network.http.max-connections – 48
network.http.max-connections-per-server – 16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy – 8
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server – 4
network.http.pipelining – true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests – 100
network.http.proxy.pipelining – true
network.http.request.timeout – 300



One more thing… Right-click somewhere on that screen and add a NEW -> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0”. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives. Since you’re broadband - it shouldn’t have to wait.

Now you should notice you’re loading pages MUCH faster now!

Auto delete temporary folder in windows

Actually we can delete the temporary files manually by typing %temp% in run and delete all the files in the folder.But these temporary files can be deleted automatically whenever it is created in xp.

Follow the steps :

+Go to run and type gpedit.msc

+Navigate through -> Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/WindowsComponents/Terminal Services/Temporary Folder

+Then right click "Do Not Delete Temp Folder Upon Exit" and go to properties and hit disable.


Now from next time when Windows puts a temp file in that folder it will be automatically deleted when it is created

Folder Lock without a software......

hey guys u might have learned the trick to lock folders by creating two batch files.
But this trick is slightly modified so that u can even assign a password

1) first of all copy the following code in notepad

cls
@ECHO OFF
title Folder Locker
if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK
if NOT EXIST Locker goto MDLOCKER
:CONFIRM
echo Are you sure u want to Lock the folder(Y/N)
set/p "cho=>"
if %cho%==Y goto LOCK
if %cho%==y goto LOCK
if %cho%==n goto END
if %cho%==N goto END
echo Invalid choice.
goto CONFIRM
:LOCK
ren Locker "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
attrib +h +s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
echo Folder locked
goto End
:UNLOCK
echo Enter password to Unlock folder
set/p "pass=>"
if NOT %pass%==type your password here goto FAIL
attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" Locker
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password
goto end
:MDLOCKER
md Locker
echo Locker created successfully
goto End
:End




Step
2) Now you can see "type your password here" in the code (23rd line) . Delete that and type in your password there.
3) save this file with any name and extension ( .bat)
4) Now double click the batch file. It will create a folder named "Locker"
5) Put all the files u want to lock in that folder
6) Now double click on the batch file to lock the folder.
7) Now if you want to unlock the folder double click that batch file again and you will be prompted for password.


note: All such kind of tricks fail when you change the folder name
