1. Prevent anonymous users from logging in
Although Windows can customize its own usage interface and specify passwords for each user, anyone can enter the system by clicking "Cancel" in the login window or pressing the ESC key, which is the so-called anonymous login. The following method can prevent anonymous users from logging in. Create a new DWORD type "MustBeValidated" under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\NetWork\Logon, with a value of 1. (Appendix: If you can't even enter, you can enter in safe mode and change its value to 0.) Note: This method does not work under peer networks.
2. Rearrange input method
You can reorder all input methods according to your needs, such as putting the most commonly used Wubi input method first. Expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard layout\Preload in sequence, and you can see multiple subkey names whose key names are incremented from the number 1. The specific number of subkeys corresponds one by one to the number of input methods installed in the system. Now, if you want to exchange the input method corresponding to the subkey name "2" and the input method corresponding to the subkey name "5", that is, move the input method corresponding to the subkey name "5" to the second position. The method is as follows. Right-click the subkey "2" and select "Rename" to change the subkey "2" to "22" or other non-existent names, then rename the subkey "5" to "2", and finally rename the subkey "22" to "5".
3. Quickly open file editing
Maybe you often use a program to open files for editing, and the extensions of these files are arbitrary. For the sake of convenience, we can add this program to the right-click menu. Taking the WordPad as an example, create a new "shell" subkey under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*, and create a new "wordpad" subkey under it. Double-click the "Default" window on the right window of the key and enter "Writing Pad" in the "Key Value" column. Then create the next level subkey "command" under the "wordpad" subkey, and enter "c:\program files\accessories\%1" in the "Key Value" column of "Default". There is no need to restart the system. Now go back to "My Computer" or "Explorer" and right-click any file (of course, the WordPad can load, regardless of whether it is related or not), and select "WordPad" to quickly open the file and edit it.
4. Improve the speed of Resource Manager refresh
When a user adds or deletes a folder in "Windows Explorer", he can view the latest refresh results by pressing the F5 key. However, it will be very troublesome to do this every time. In fact, this refresh can be fully automated by modifying the registry. The specific method is: open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ System\ CurrentControlSet\ Control\ Update branch, and include an UpdateMode key value name in the Update subkey, and its key value is 01. Double-click UpdateMode and change 01 to 00.
5. Block disk icon in My Computer
In a multi-user operating environment, you can set different disk drive icons for different users, which can limit the operation permissions of various users. Open the HKEY-CURRENT-USER\ Software\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Policies\ Explorer branch. Under this branch, the NoDrives key value name provides convenience for setting different disk drive icons for different users. The default key value is 0x000000000. The NoDrives key value is four bytes, and each bit of each byte corresponds to a drive letter (A. ~ Z.), that is, the first byte represents eight drives from A. to H., that is, 01 is A., 02 is B., 04 is C. …, and 80 is H. And so on, the second byte represents I. to P. ; the third byte represents Q. to X. ; the fourth byte represents Y. and Z. . Therefore, when the corresponding bit is 1, when "My Computer" is turned on, the corresponding disk will no longer be visible. For example, if we want to close the C. disk, we just right-click the NoDrives key value name, and then select "Modify" from the shortcut menu to change its key value to 04000000; if we want to close the D. disk, change the key value to 08000000; if we want to close the C. and D., change the key value to 0C0000000.
6. Rename the recycling bin
We can easily change the names of most icons on the desktop but cannot change the name of the Recycle Bin directly. If you want to change the name of "Recycle Bin" only in the Registration Table Editor, change the "default" value of the right window key from "Recycle Bin" to another name (such as "Trash Can"), close the Registration Editor and restart WIN98.
7. Change the icons of my computer, recycling bin
In Windows 98, the icons of "My Computer" and "Recycle Bin" cannot be changed like the icons of general files. They can only be achieved by modifying the system's registry: start the registry editor, select the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ Classes\ CLSID" option in the registry, and then select Edit\Find, type "Recycle Bin" and confirm. When you find this item, select the DefaultIcon option of the item, double-click "Full" (or "Deafult" and "Empty") in the name bar. The icon file corresponding to "Recycle Bin" is displayed in the pop-up dialog box. Change this value to the icon file you like (note that you need to write the full file path). You can modify the "My Computer" icon in the same way, just type "My Computer" when searching and confirm.
8. Delete the system-level icon on the desktop
When you want to delete icons of the Recycle Bin, Inbox, and Online Neighbors on your desktop, you will find that they cannot be deleted in general ways. At this time, you can only modify the registry. Open the registry editor, first record the keywords of the branch under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Mcrosoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Explorer\ Desktop\ NameSpace and the string value of the right window (used for paper and pen) (for recovery), then delete the unnecessary branches, close the registry editor, restart WIN98, and then look at the desktop, it has disappeared.
9. Set two IP addresses for a machine
Generally, one IP address can only be configured for one network adapter, but by modifying the system registry, multiple IP addresses can be configured for a network card: Run the registry editor and find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ System\ CurrentControlSet\ Services\Class\NetTrans. You can see multiple directories named 0000, 0001, 0002... in this directory, which are used to record the installation of the protocol. Find the directory where DriverDesc is "TCP/IP" among them, and modify the two keys IPAddress and IPMask. Where IPAddress is multiple IP addresses separated by commas, and IPMask is the corresponding mask. For example, when setting IPAddress to "202.10.1.10, 202.10.1.25" and IPMask to "255.255.255.0, 255.255.255.0", it means that two IP addresses 202.10.1.10 and 202.10.1.25 are set for the system.
10. Control the zoom of the window
If you want to fix the window of the Windows application, that is, it cannot be reduced. Open the registry and enter Hkey-Current-User\Control Pannel\Desktop\Windows Metries; double-click the key name MinAnimate and change its value to "0", the window cannot be reduced; if it is changed back to "1", the window can be reduced
