Hi!!
I am Vaishak Suresh.This is my first geekmail,
So letsnot waste your time and lets get in to the business.
In this issue i'll be letting u in on some of the
Windows tips and trick that will smoothen your windows experience
__________________________
Eliminating the Shortcut arrow
---------------------------------------------
If you r sick of the arrows that appear near the icons.You could try the following trick
1.go toStart >> Run >> Regedit
2.Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
3.Click on lnkfile
4.Delete the String Value named IsShortcut in the right-hand pane
5.Go to piffile, also in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
6.Delete the String Value named IsShortcut
7.Close Regedit, restart Windows, and the little arrows should be all gone.
_________
Open With
---------------
If you have a file that is wrongly associated witha program..and you want to change
its association In windows 9X you cannot do it directly.(IT is possible in higher versions)
Press and Hold the SHIFT key.then Right click on the file
You will see an option OPEN WITH in the context menu.
click on it and select the desired programme

Boosting Hard Drive Performance
---------------------------------------------------
To boost your Hard Disk's performance
Go to Start >> Settings >> Control Panel >> System
Then choose the Performance tab
Then click the File System button at the bottom
and change the typical role of this machine from Desktop computer to Network server.
I believe this increases disk cache,
which will increase performance if you have enough memory.
If not, it will take memory away from local programs, causing lower performance.
The Network server setting assumes that the local machine does
little more than service network requests for data.
Thats all in this issue hope you enjoyed it!!
keep me posted with your comments and suggestions.
PS: geek mail is not a periodic thing. i'll try to send it weekly but some times COLLEGE SUX ;->
