Disable or remove shutdown




=> remove shutdown from start menu and also from all other possible options.
=> hide shutdown from start menu
=> disable shutdown all togetherDisable or remove shutdown - The Ethical Hackinglearn to do it now!!! (it takes less than a minute to do so) Disclaimer: this is an article which just brings out the fact that removing the
shut down menu option from the start menu is possible. If you however get caught
by your manager or college system administrator, and get whipped in your ass, I
cannot be held responsible. This tool is a inbuilt tool present in windows XP, just like msgconfig. So you
got to execute this command using run. 1 . Start ->run and type gpedit.msc The gpedit stands for group policy and you can do wonders using this. Also if
you a minute with your pal’s system and this pal tries to flirt your girl friend
- You can make a lot of changes to his system in the time he leaves you alone
with his system, to have him go bonkers.
2. User configuration -> administrative Templates -> start menu and taskbar -> 3. This option opens up a pane on the right hand side. Identify the option named
- Remove SHUT DOWN on the start menu . 4. Double click Remove SHUT DOWN on the start menu option 5. a small screen pops up and you may like to read about the explanation in the
EXPLAIN TAB before you change the settings. 6. Just change the radio button TO ENABLED and say apply. 7. DONE. No need to log off or restart the system. (You may however have to find
a way to restart your system.) 8. This option disables the log off option from the system. From the start menu,
also from the life saver – three buttons CTRL - ALT - DEL options. This option goes well with the HIDING THE LOG OFF FROM START MENU… (To shut down ur system:-without using frm shut down menu) The solution is that u can switch user thru task manager (alt+ctrl+del) or by
pressing winkey+L where u get the option to turn off ur compy/restart/stand
by.
or u may create a shortcut using this shortcut location to shutdown ur sys %windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -s to restart, u can use this shortcut %windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -r

Renaming The Start Button:

Author: P.R.O.V.I.D.E.R. // Category:
Renaming The Start Button:

To rename the start button, you will need a hex editor.
My preference is UltraEdit

Copy the \windows\explore.exe file to a new name (e.g. explorer_1.exe)
With the hex editor, open that file and go to offset 412b6
You will see the word start with blanks between each letter
Edit it be any 5 characters or less
Save the file
Boot to DOS
Copy the existing c:\windows\explorer.exe to explorer.org
Copy explorer_1.exe to explorer.exe
You will also need to replace the explorer.exe in the c:\windows\system32\dllcache file as well with the new one.

Note: If the partition is NTFS and you can't access the files from DOS:

Start Regedit
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon.
Change the value of Shell from Explorer.exe to explorer_1.exe

Change The Storage Location Of 'my Documents', a bit safer for when your PC crashes...

Many people stores there Important files in "My Documents", isen't?
But what if your computer Operating system crashes .....
Your all important data will get crashed Sad .
So what to do.
How to make "My documents" safe ?
Just change its storage location.

normally windows saves the "My Documents" folder on your C-drive. But when you right-click on it and go to properties,target, you can change the location where you want windows to save your Documents folder.
I have a partition set up with just windows on it, and all my things i want to keep are on different partitions/disks. So now I put My Documents on another partition than where I have windows installed. If windows screws up and you have to format your C-drive again, your documents will be spared at least...

FORMAT USB DRIVE WITH NTFS

Author: P.R.O.V.I.D.E.R. // Category:
Advantages:
Enabling NTFS in removable storage devices allows us to add allow and deny permissions on individual files and folders for specific Windows users; that?s the function not available in FAT file system. NTFS also allows files to be encrypted by using Windows XP?s built-in encryption.

1. You need to connect your USB device to your computer, that?s for sure. Right-click on My Computer from the desktop and choose Manage.
2. Click on ?Device Manager? and expand out ?Disk Drives?. There are maybe couple of drives depending on how many USB drive & hard drive connected to your PC.
3. Right click on USB drive and select ?properties?. After that, click on the ?Policies? tab and choose ?Optimize for performance? radio button. Finally click OK and you are done!
4. If you right-click on USB drive and select ?Format..? you will see NTFS is now available.

How to recover MOST of scratched CD data discs

Author: P.R.O.V.I.D.E.R. // Category:
How to recover MOST of scratched CD data discs

I learn an old thecnique to how to recover damaged or scratched disks
with some lost of data. In this case i have one borrowed game - MAX PAYNE 2
with a chunck of 4 mb lost with a scratch in CD1 Install. Here we cover some
special thecniques of how to create a full working CD from the scratched one.

First some tools will be needed:

1. Alcohol 120%
2. UltraISO
3. Windows XP/2000 (not tested on 95/98/me)
3. Small piece of cotton
4. Dry cleaner paper
5. Finally, oil for cooking.

First step - preparing the CD

Get the cotton and drop some water, start cleaning vertically the surface of CD.
Do it 3 times and dry the water with a piece of dry cleaner paper. With a new piece
of cotton, drop some oil for cooking and start to wet the surface like you are
washing the CD with the oil. Dry carefully now. Some particles of oil will stay on the
microsurface of the scrath. It's okay. Seems the oil helps the laser of the CD/DVD driver
to read the surface again. Sure this will work with small unreadable scratchs - some hard
scratchs loose parts of the surface of the CD where we have data and it's lost forever.
But if it is loosed try anyway. Whith this tip 80% of the small scratched CD's coud be
recovered.

Second Step - testing the CD

With Alcohol 120% make an ISO - image making wizard - and lets see if the app can
read the loosed surface. In my case Alcohol 120% had recovered 60% of the data.
This is not enough. Have tryed other appz, they do not recover all the data. But the
CD/DVD driver laser CAN recover all data in this case. the data is still there, what we do?

third step - making the new CD

With the main copy system of windows explorer you can do it. Just create one folder
with the same name of the CD label for future burn reference, and copy the CD content
to the folder. When the CD copy process find the scratch, in majority of the cases, it's
slow down the reading and will recover ALL loosed data.If not, it just tell you there's
an unreadable sector. In this case your CD is lost. But it's not my case, finally
windows explorer got all the data from the scratch and made a copy in the folder.
with the ultraISO, wrote the original CD label, drop the content of the folder and
save as Iso. You can Test the new CD just mounting the iso in the Alcohol 120%. In my
case i did ISO of the two discs from MAX PAYNE 2 and tested installing from the mounted
ISO. Works like a charm. I got the 4 mb lost again. So, I have burned the CD and now i
have a working copy from the scratched one.

Sounds too bizzarre, but works. Course you can jump the cleaning process and try to copy
the content with Windows explorer. But in my case did not work without oil...

TIPS TO CREATE STRONG PASSWORD EASILY

Author: P.R.O.V.I.D.E.R. // Category:
How to create a Strong Password.
This lead me to explain the method I follow to set a password - A Strong Password indeed by all standards.
You must follow the following criteria while creating a Strong Password:
* The password must be a minimum of 8+ characters.
* The password must have 1 number , 1 special character, 1 Upper Case character.

A very simple example that I use to explain my friends and colleages is : P@ssw0rd. It fullfills all the criteria's. The 'a' is replaced by a special character @. The 'P' is of upper case. The 'o' is replaced by the numeral 0.
Well, you can now convert your regular password into a Strong Password by following a few changes like the example I have mentioned above for the simple password - P@ssw0rd.

* Make the first character Upper Case.
* Change all 'a' in the password to the special character @.
* Change all 's' in the password to the special character $.* Change all 'l' in the password to the special character !.
* Change all 'o' in the password to the numerical 0.
* Change all 'i' in the password to the numerical 1.

Hope this will help you to create a Strong password. CoolA

Shutdown with a double click
1.) Just open the notepad.
2.) simply write

shutdown /s

3) now "save as" this as shut.bat on the desktop

u can use any name instead of "shut" accept "shutdown" coz its not working wid that name. and i dnt know the reason.

4.) Now u r just a double click away from the shutdown. it'll take approx 30 secs before shutting down. If u want an immediate shutdown u can ask me the syntax for that.


I've tried this on XP and Vista and its working.
U can also try the same to restart ur PC.

to shutdown really its better not to shut down ur pc
just hibernate it. for hibernating in two clicks follow the same steps as above.
and write "shutdown /h" in place of "shutdown /s"


for removing the 30 seconds delay write

shutdown /s /t xx
where xx is the time in seconds

eg for 10 secs delay
shutdown /s /t 10

for no delay
shutdown /s /t 00
