If you never use the ‘links’ folder in Internet Explorer, then this is a way to remove it in Windows XP. Here is how to get rid of it for good!
Go to Start -> Run -> type regedit in the box. Then find the registry key: “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar.” Now this becomes the fun part. For these values you may need to create them. If they are already there, then you just have to modify it.
Find or Create the value: “LinksFolderName,” and set the ‘string value’ as nothing, so it should be blank. Now open Internet Explorer, and delete the ‘Links’ folder from the favorites Menu. Exit the Registry Editor and restart Windows XP. The ‘Links’ folder will never be recreated.

Ever wanted to restart your computer fast in Windows XP, without actually restarting? For instance, if your computer hangs, or when you try to delete something, it says its in use. Well there is a way to do this, and its not very hard at all.
To do this, press ‘Ctrl + Alt + Delete’ on your keyboard. Then click on the ‘Processes’ tab. From here, find the process called ‘explorer.exe’ and click on ‘End Process.’ Don’t freak out if everything disappears. This is normal. To fix this, just click on ‘File -> New Task -> and type in ‘explorer.exe.’ This will make everything pop back up.
You have just restarted your computer, and everything should be perfectly fine now. At least I hope. But if it’s a big problem, don’t follow this, shutdown Microsoft Windows XP and start it back up!

What is Windows XP Scan Count Down? It is ‘CHKDSK,’ which you can schedule to run on next boot. On the next boot, the system will ask you ‘to press a any key to cancel ‘CHKDSK.’ There will be an amount of time for a count down before you can no longer cancel the operation. The default value is set to 10 seconds. If you want to change this, go to ‘Start -> Run -> type in ‘regedit.’ Then in the Registry Editor, find ‘HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session\Manager. Now to the right, find ‘AutoChkTimeOut’ and change the value to anything you would like. The range is: 0 to 259,200 seconds. 259,200 seconds is equivalent to 3 days. If you keep it at 0, then there is no count down and you can’t cancel the ‘CHKDSK’ in Microsoft Windows XP.

Many people are having problems accessing secure websites in Microsoft Windows XP. For example, accessing Windows Update and updates for your Anti-virus software. To fix this go to Start -> My Computer -> C: (if that is your hard drive’s location) -> Windows -> System32 -> Drivers -> etc. Find the file that is called ‘hosts’ and open it with notepad. Then delete all the entries below ‘127.0.0.1 localhost.’ Then save the ‘hosts’ file and close it.
You might need to restart your computer to take effect. This is the fastest fix and it can speed up your navigation in Windows XP!

You can have your home page in your Windows XP browser never change! Why is this good, you may ask? You can almost answer that yourself, that is because some websites ‘illegally’ change your registry and put their website as the default home page! So you want to stop this from happening? Well of course you do. Right click on Internet Explorer (I’m going to use Internet Explorer for this, it may work on other browsers), and then click on ‘Properties.’ Now in the box beside the words ‘Target,’ it will show you where Internet Explorer is located. Now just go to the very end of this and add your Microsoft Windows XP home page. So it should look like this: “C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\Ieexplore.exe” www.blogwindowsxp.com
