How to set Master File Table Zone Reservation in XP




Run regedit

 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ FileSystem]

Under this key there is a setting called NtfsMftZoneReservation, the default setting of which is 1.

The range of this value is from 1 to 4.

The default setting reserves one-eighth of the volume for the MFT.

 A setting of 2 reserves one-quarter of the volume for the MFT.

 A setting of 3 for NtfsMftZoneReservation reserves three-eighths of the volume for the MFT and setting it to 4 reserves half of the volume for the MFT.

Most users will never exceed one-quarter of the volume.

A setting of 2 for most users. This allows for a "moderate number of files" commensurate with the number of small files included in most computer games and applications. Reboot after applying this tweak.

How to set Windows Prefetcher in XP




Run regedit

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ Session Manager \ Memory Management \ PrefetchParameters]

                         Under this key there is a setting called EnablePrefetcher, the default setting of which is 3. Increasing this number to 5 gives the prefetcher system more system resources to prefetch application data for faster load times. Depending on the number of  boot processes you run on your computer. This setting also may effect the loading times of your most frequently launched applications. This setting will not take effect until after you reboot your system.

Yahoo Messenger with no ad's





Here is  tip for avoiding ads on yahoo messenger

Run regedit

Goto HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Yahoo -> Pager -> View

Inside the 'View' key there are a several other keys... go through each one and edit the 'banner url' string to your liking. It even works if the string is left blank (this causes it to look as if ads were never even implemented)!

Restart Yahoo! IM for the effect to take hold.

This is great for Yahoo  IM 5.6 users who don't want to be bothered with ads.

Thank u........
