Clearing the last user logged on Windows XP

Every time a user logs into your computer or laptop/notebook, their username is stored, and that name is displayed the next time the classic logon screen is displayed. This can be a nice feature, but it also can be a feature that causes a security problem. Knowing a user’s username is half the battle of breaking into a computer.

If you have sensitive information on your computer, I suggest that you follow these instructions to hide the last user logged on:

  1. Start up the Registry Editor again by clicking the Start menu and selecting Run. Thentype regedit in the box and click OK.

  2. Navigate through HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SOFTWARE, Microsoft,Windows, CurrentVersion, policies, and system. Locate the DontDisplayLastUserName entry.

  3. Right-click the entry and select Modify. Then type in a 1 to activate the feature, Click OK, and you are finished.

  4. If you ever want to reverse this hack, just repeat the instructions above and replace the 1 with 0 for the value of DontDisplayLastUserName.

Renaming the Recycle Bin at Windows

The Recycle Bin is a great feature of Windows, but it is very difficult to customize the name. Unlike other system icons on the desktop, you cannot just right-click it and select Rename. The only way to rename the Recycle Bin is to hack the Registry. This is not as simple as the method for the other icons, but you can easily get through it.

To get started, let’s assume that you want to rename the Recycle Bin as Trash Box:

  1. Click the Start button and select Run.

  2. Then type regedit in the box and click OK.

  3. When the Registry Editor is started, you will want to expand the HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Microsoft,Windows, CurrentVersion, Explorer, CLSID, and {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} folders.

  4. When you have expanded the last folder, you should see an entry called (Default) that has no value. Right-click that entry and select Modify.

  5. Next, just type Trash Compactor, or any other name, in the box and click OK. If you want to hide the text under the Recycle Bin icon, you will still have to specify a name. Instead of typing in a word, just click the spacebar once and then click OK. You do not have to worry about entering in the ASCII code for a space when editing the registry.

  6. Close the Registry Editor and press F5 when viewing your desktop to see your changes. If that does not work for your computer, then you will have to log out and log in to activate the changes. Now your Recycle Bin is no more. Hello Trash Box!

How to increase network browsing speed

Speeding Up Your Network


The speed of your network connection does not just depend on the speed of your hardware. Windows is an operating system that is designed to work on a variety of different hardware and network setups. Because of the abstract nature of the operating system, it cannot be optimized.
for user-specific hardware setups.

Increasing network browsing speed

Does your computer slow down when you browse your local area network and connect to other computers that are sharing data? One of the most common causes of this slowdown is a feature of Windows Explorer that looks for scheduled tasks on remote computers. This effort can take some time on some computers and can really slow down your browsing. The window with which you are browsing the network may appear to freeze momentarily, as the system is waiting for a response from the remote computer.


Although this problem is a complex one, the solution is very simple. Instead of having to wait for the remote scheduled tasks, which is useless information to anyone who is not a system administrator remotely configuring scheduled tasks, you can disable this feature. In order to do this, you will have to hack the System Registry and delete a reference to a key so that this feature will not be loaded.To do this, follow these steps:



  1. Open up the Registry Editor by clicking the Start Menu and selecting Run. Then type regedit in the text box and click the OK button.

  2. Once the Registry Editor has loaded, expand the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key.

  3. Next, expand Software and then Microsoft.

  4. Locate Windows and expand that as well.

  5. You will want to be editing the main system files, so expand CurrentVersion.

  6. Because this feature is a feature of the Windows component known as Explorer, expand the Explorer key.

  7. Next, you will want to modify the remote computer settings, so expand the RemoteComputer key and then expand the NameSpace key to show all of the features
    that are enabled when you browse to a remote computer.

  8. In the NameSpace folder you will find two entries. One is “{2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D}” which tells Explorer to show printers shared on the remote
    machine. The other, “{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF},” tells Explorer to show remote scheduled tasks. This is the one that you should delete. This can be done by right-clicking the name of the key and selecting Delete.

    If you have no use for viewing remote shared printers and are really only interested in shared files, consider deleting the printers key, “{2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D}”, as well. This will also boost your browsing speed.
    Once you have deleted the key, you just need to restart and the changes will be in effect. Now your network computer browsing will be without needless delays.
