27) Disable Error reporting in XP

Sometimes errors, make us very annoyed in XP so its better to disable them. Just Right click the my computer icon, click properties, go to [advance] and then [error reporting] @ the bottom, click disable error reporting, and check the check box below it.


28) Rename multiple files.

A new, small, neat feature for Windows XP deals with renaming files. I personally have always wanted the OS to include a way to do a mass file renaming on a bunch of files. You can now rename multiple files at once .Its really simple:

Select several files in Explorer, press F2 and rename one of those files to something else. All the selected files get renamed to the new file name (plus a number added to the end).

29) Disable Baloon tips.
To disable Ballon tips in Windows XP do this registry tweak
Go to : HKEY_CURRENT_USER | Software | M*cro$oft | Windows | CurrentVersion | Explorer | Advanced
Create a new DWORD value, name it EnableBalloonTips, and set it equal to 0. If EnableBalloonTips is already there and equal to 1, set it equal to 0. Quit the registry editor, log off, and log back on. Voila! Your computer will stop talking down to you.

30) Sort menus alphabetically
When you install a new program for a user, it doesn’t find its place in the alphabetical Start menu hierarchy right away; it hangs out at the bottom for a little while. If your users employ the Classic Start menu, they can re-alphabetize it manually by right-clicking the taskbar and choosing Properties, clicking the Customize button next to the Classic Start Menu, and clicking the Sort button.
With the Windows XP style of Start menu, however, you don’t have an equivalent button. To make Windows always alphabetize the list, remove the permissions from the Registry key that controls the sort order for the Start menu.
To do so, go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER | Software | M*cro$oft | Windows | CurrentVersion | Explorer | MenuOrder
Choose Edit | Permissions and click the Advanced button. Deselect the Inherit From Parent The Permission Entries That Apply To Child Objects check box and then click Copy when the Security dialog box pops up. Click OK and clear the Full Control entry for your account and all security groups you are a member of. Leave only Read permission.

How To Read Medium Articles for Free

I was able to find some ways to bypass Medium’s paywall system and read an unlimited amount of articles every day. I’ll share exactly how to read Medium articles for free in this article. Medium is a great blogging platform. This platform allows anyone to publish and read articles, but some of the articles on Medium are behind a paywall, which means they require a paid membership to read. Medium offers every user 3 free articles to read every month. That means you can read up to 3 articles that are published behind the Medium paywall. Stories that aren’t behind the Medium paywall are forever free to read. Here’s how to read Medium articles for free: You can read Medium articles for free by using the incognito mode of your browser, using extensions of Chrome, using the Telegram instant view from...
