Microsoft reserves 20% of available bandwidth for their own purposes like Windows
updates &
interrogating your PC, etc
click Start then Run and type "gpedit.msc" without quotes. This opens the group policy
editor.
Then goto:
Local Computer Policy, then computer configuration then administrative Templates and
then
QOS Pacekt Schedular & then to Limit Reservable Bandwith. Double click on Limit
Reservable
Bandwith. It'll say it is not configured, but the truth is under the 'Explain' tab i.e, "By
default,
the Packet Schedular limits the system to 20 % of the bandwidth of a connection, but
you can
use this setting to override the default." So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth,
the
set it to ZERO. This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20%.
It works on Win 2000 as well.

Using this method, a user can shutdown, restart, hibernate, etc. his or her computer,
just by sending an email from his or her phone.
To do this, all you will need is Microsoft Outlook which should come with Microsoft
Office, which most people have. This will need to be on the computer you wish to
shutdown.
So, this is how you do this:
1. First, you need the batch files to perform the Shutdown, Hibernate etc. You can
write them down yourselves
2. open your note pad
and write lik this...
c:\windows\system32\shutdown -s -f -t 00
and save it as shutdown.bat
3. Open up Microsoft Outlook. Make sure that you have already configured it for
your email.Now we will need to make it so that Outlook checks your inbox about
every minute (1 minute for testing time can be increased if a delayed shutdown is
desired). You can do this by going to Tools: Options.
4. Then click the Mail Setup tab, and afterwards, the Send/Receive button.
5. Make sure that the Schedule an automatic send/receive every... box is checked,
and set the number of minutes to 1. Now you may close all of these dialog boxes.
6. Now go to Tools: Rules and Alerts... Next click the options button in the upper
right hand corner and press the Import Rules button.
7. Now select the shutdown.bat file ...whi u hv created ...
8. Now, when you send a message from your phone to your e-mail address with the
subject shutdown or smsshutdown%%, your computer will shutdown.

Run programs, virtual, you can easily test systems without installing first.
It is simply built up as Microsoft's familiar operating system, but run from the browser
whether it is called Firefox, Explorer or something else.
You will then have a virtual version of Microsoft's OS if you surf into any Web page.
It must be stressed that it is not genuine Windows, you can find on Windows4all.com, but
rather an offer of how Microsoft's operating system would work if it only ran online.
You have access to a browser, so you - as our screenshot shows - can run Firefox, running
Windows running Internet Explorer ... confused?
There is also access to, among other things, word processing, video player, drawing program,
and of course the obligatory cable.
The question is just what it can be used for? At first glance it may at least provide a picture of
what the future may be online.
As more and more web services offer office packages, image and even advanced games via
the browser, it will eventually no matter what computer you're at - you have a network
connection. It is not inconceivable that we eventually - through the browser - will have access
to an online system that is optimized to run advanced Web applications and, of course, save
all our important files.
This requires that you install Silver Light, which is Microsoft's competitor to Adobe Flash
3 Now, in the player when the movie is being played, press "Print screen" button on
your key board.
But if your O.S. is not validated then all Microsoft Software will not install.
Just log on to http://www.microsoft.com and pay money and get your license key. But I got the trick to make
your Windows XP genuine without any money.

Most home users would love this trick. It allows you to bypass the login prompt on
Windows startup and go straight to your desktop without a login.
This Windows XP feature is pretty cool in case the machine is mostly used by a single
user. Is's kindda annoying when you're the only one using the pc and you have to login
everytime, isn't it?
Here's how:
Goto Run
Type CMD
Just Open Ur Bat File And Type color And Ur Required Code For That Color Given In The Code Like
Color A8
Note that we had to quote the shift operator since it would otherwise be misinterpreted
as a "redirect stdout and append" operator.
