WHY DO INSTALL PROGRAMS ASK ME TO
CLOSE EVERYTHING ELSE?
W hen you install softw are on your m achine, you are usually asked to close
the other running.
1. Som e install program s require you to reboot your operating system w hen
the install is done. So, you w ould have to close the other program s dow n
anyw ay.
2. Som e install program s m ay m odify parts of the program s currently
running, and m ay even m odify part of your operating system . You m ay
think, "H ey, I'm running a w ord processor. W hy should installing a
spreadsheet require m e to close m y docum ent?" U nfortunately, w ith
today's w orld of program s consisting of dozens, perhaps hundreds of
pieces, there m ay be code shared by your w ord processor and the
spreadsheet that you are trying to install.
3. W hat if the install program crashes? Installer program s are notorious for
m odifying key O perating system com ponents. They m ight m odify
som ething that causes your system to Crash and any w ork you m ay have
done in your currently open applications w ould be lost. So play it safe -
close dow n other applications before running installers.

How can I configure TCP/IP settings from
the Command Prompt?
Configure interfaces
Configure routing protocols
Configure filters
Configure routes
Configure rem ote access behavior for W indow s-based rem ote access routers that are running the
Routing and Remote Access Server (RRA S) Service D isplay the configuration of a currently
running router on any com puter.
U se the scripting feature to run a collection of comm ands in batch mode against a specified
router.
W hat can w e do w ith N etsh.exe?
1. netsh interface ip show config
W ith N etsh.exe, you can easily configure your com puter's IP address and other TCP/IP related
settings.
The follow ing comm and configures the interface nam ed Local A rea Connection w ith the static IP
address 192.168.0.100, the subnet m ask of 255.255.255.0, and a default G atew ay of 192.168.0.1
N etsh.exe can be also useful in certain scenarios such as w hen you have a portable com puter that
needs to be relocated betw een 2 or more office locations, w hile still m aintaining a specific and
static IP address configuration. W ith N etsh.exe,
ets h.exe, you can easily save and restore the appropriate
netw ork configuration.
First, connect your portable com puter to location #1, and then m anually configure the required
settings (such as the IP address, Subnet M ask, D efault G atew ay, D N S and W IN S addresses).
N ow , you need to export your current IP settings to a text file.
U se the follow ing command:
netsh - c interface dum p > c:\
c: \ location1.txt
W hen you reach location #2, do the sam e thing, only keep the new settings to a different file:
netsh - c interface dum p > c:\
c: \ location2.txt
Page 52 of 96
You can go on w ith any other location you m ay need, but w e'll keep it sim ple and only use 2
exam ples. N ow , w henever you need to quickly im port your IP settings and change them betw een
location #1 and location #2, just enter the follow ing comm and in a Com m and Prom pt w indow
netsh - f c:\
c: \ location1.txt
OR
netsh - f c:\
c: \ location2.txt and so on.
You can also use the global EXEC sw itch instead of -F:
netsh exec c:\location2.txt
N etsh.exe can also be used to configure
co nfigure your N IC to autom atically obtain an IP address from a
D H CP server:-
server: -
netsh interface ip set address "Local A rea Connection" dhcp
W ould you like to configure D N S and W IN S addresses from the Comm and Prom pt?
You can. See this exam ple for D N S:-
netsh interface ip set dns "Local A rea Connection" static 192.168.0.200
This one for W IN S:
netsh interface ip set w ins "Local A rea Connection" static 192.168.0.200
Or
If you w ant, you can configure your N IC to dynam ically obtain it's D N S settings:
netsh interface ip set dns "Local A rea Connection" dhcp
A s you now see, N etsh.exe has m any features you m ight find useful, and that goes beyond saying
E ven w ithout looking into the other valuable options that exist in the com m and.

Page 53 of 96
How to Use the Netsh.exe Tool and
Command-Line Switches
N etsh.exe is a tool an adm inistrator can use to configure and m onitor W indow s-
based com puters at a com m and prom pt. W ith the N etsh.exe tool, you can direct the
context com m ands you enter to the appropriate helper, and the helper then carries out
the com m and. A helper is a D ynam ic Link Library (.dll) file that extends the
functionality of the N etsh.exe tool by providing configuration, m onitoring, and
support for one or m ore services, utilities, or protocols. The helper m ay also be used to
extend other helpers.
MORE INFORMATION
You can use the N etsh.exe tool to perform the follow ing tasks:
 Configure interfaces.
 Configure routing protocols.
 Configure filters.
 Configure routes.
 Configure remote access behavior for W indow s-based rem ote access routers that are
running the Routing and Remote A ccess Server (RRA S) Service.
 D isplay the configuration of a currently running router on any com puter. • U se the
scripting feature to run a collection of comm ands in batch m ode against a specified router.
The syntax for the N etsh.exe tool is:

netsh [-[ - r router nam e] [-[ - a A liasFile] [-[ - c Context] [Com m and | - f ScriptFile]
To display a list of sub contexts and comm ands that can be used in a context, type the context

NETSH Command to Change from Static IP
Address to DHCP in Win 2K
You can use the netsh com m and in W indow s 2000 to script the process of changing a
com puter from a static Internet Protocol (IP) address to D ynam ic H ost Configuration
Protocol (D H CP) or vice versa. The netsh com m and accom plishes this task w ithout
the need to restart the com puter. This feature is particularly useful for laptops that
m ove from one environm ent to another, w hen it is necessary to use statically assigned
IP addresses at one location and D H CP assigned IP addresses at another.
M ore Inform ation:
atio n:-

Typing this com m and changes the interface nam ed "L ocal A rea Connection" to D H CP.
To display all of the adapters in the com puter w ith their current IP addresses to
determ ine the correct A dapter nam e, type the follow ing com m and:
N etsh interface ip show config
To change to a static address, type the follow ing com m and:
netsh interface ip set address "Local A rea Connection" static ip address subnetm ask

Manual steps to determine whether the
Winsock2 key is corrupted
To determ ine if the sym ptom s are caused by a problem w ith the W insock2 key, use the follow ing.
U se the M sinfo32 program
N ote: - U se this m ethod only if you do not have a W indow s XP Setup CD and you do N ot have
Support Tools installed.
1. Click Start; click Run, type M sinfo32, and then click OK .
2. E xpand Com ponents, expand N etw ork, and then click Protocol.
3. You w ill have ten sections under Protocol. The section headings w ill include the follow ing
nam es if the W insock2 key is undam aged:
• M SA FD Tcpip [TCP/IP]
• M SAFD Tcpip [U D P/IP]
• RSV P U D P Service Provider
•RSV P TCP Service Provider
•M SA FD N etBIOS [\D evice\N etBT_Tcpip...
•M SA FD N etBIOS [\D evice\N etBT_Tcpip...
•M SA FD N etBIOS [\D evice\N etBT_Tcpip...
•M SA FD N etBIOS [\D evice\N etBT_Tcpip...
•M SA FD N etBIOS [\D evice\N etBT_Tcpip...
•M SA FD N etBIOS [\D evice\N etBT_Tcpip...
If the nam es are anything different from those in this list, the W insock2 key is corrupted, or you
have a third-party add-on, such as proxy softw are, installed. If you have a third-party add-on
installed, the name of the add-on w ill replace the letters "M SA FD " in the list. If there are m ore
than ten sections in the list, you have third-party additions installed. If there are Few er than ten
sections, there is inform ation m issing.
N ote: - These entries represent an installation w ith only the TCP/IP protocol installed. You can
have a w orking W insock and see additional entries if another protocol is installed.
Page 63 of 96
Manual steps to recover from
Winsock2 corruption
W indow s XP w ith Service Pack 2 instructions
To repair W insock if you have W indow s XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) installed.
N ote: - Follow ing com m and w orks perfect from Comm and Prom pt so it should not be
executed from Run w indow
netsh w insock reset Restart the com puter after you run this comm and.
W arning: -
Program s that access or m onitor the Internet such as A ntivirus, Firew all, or Proxy clients m ay be
negatively affected w hen you run the netsh W insock reset comm and. If you have a program that
no longer functions correctly after you use this resolution, reinstall the program to restore
functionality.
Follow ing steps should only be tried if the W insock com m and w as unable to fix the concern.
W indow s XP w ithout Service Pack 2 instructions
To repair W insock if you do not have W indow s XP SP2 installed, delete the corrupted registry
keys, and then reinstall the TCP/IP protocol.
Step 1: D elete the corrupted registry keys
1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK .
3. In Registry E ditor, locate the follow ing keys, right-click each key, and then click D elete:

4. W hen you are prom pted to confirm the deletion, click yes.
N ote: - Restart the com puter after you delete the W insock keys. D oing so causes the W indow s XP
operating system to create new shell entries for those tw o keys. If you do not restart the com puter
after you delete the W insock keys, the next step does not w ork correctly.

How to crack any type of
software protection
Identifying the protection
Run the program , game, etc., (Softw are X) that you w ant to crack w ithout the CD in the CD
reader. Softw areX w ill not run of course, how ever, w hen the error w indow pops up it w ill give
you all of the vital inform ation that you need to crack the program , so be sure to w rite dow n
w hat it says.
Cracking the protection
N ow , run W in32D asm . On the file menu open D ISA SSE M BLER > OPE N FILE TO
D ISA SSE M BLE. Select Softw are X’s executable file in the popup w indow that w ill appear (e.g.
Softw areX.exe). W 32D asm m ay take several minutes to disassem ble the file. W hen W 32D asm
finishes disassem bling the file it w ill display unrecognizable text; this is w hat w e w ant. Click on
the String D ata References button. Scroll through the String D ata Item s until you find Softw are
X’s error m essage. W hen you locate it, double click the error m essage and then close the w indow to
return to the W in32D asm text. You w ill notice that you have been m oved som ew here w ithin the
Softw are X’s check routine; this is w here the error m essage in generated. N ow com es the difficult
part, so be careful. To crack Softw are X’s protection you m ust know the @ offset of every call and
jum p comm and. W rite dow n every call and jum p@ offset num ber that you see (You have to be
sure, that the OPBA R change its used color to green). You need the num ber behind the @ offset
w ithout the “h.”N ow open H IEW , locate Softw are X’s executable, and press the F4 key. A t this
point a popup w indow w ill appear w ith 3 options: Text, H ex, and D ecode. Click on “D ecode” to
see a list of num bers. N ow press the F5 key and enter the num ber that w as extracted using
W in32D asm . A fter you have entered the num ber you w ill be taken to Softw are X’s check routine
w ithin H IEW . To continue you must understand this paragraph. If the comm and that you are
taken to is E 92BF9BF74, for exam ple, it means that the comm and equals 5 bytes. E very 2 digits
equal one byte: E 9-2B-F9-BF-74 => 10 digits => 5 bytes. If you understood this then you cans
continue. Press F3 (E dit), this w ill allow you to edit the 10 digits. Replace the 5 bytes w ith the
digits 90. In other w ords, E 92BF9BF74 w ill becom e 9090909090 (90-90-90-90-90). A fter you
com plete this step press the F10 key to exit.
Congratulations! You just cracked Softw are X!
D on’t panic if Softw are X w ill not run after you finished cracking it. It only m eans that
som ething w as done incorrectly, or perhaps Softw are X’s protection technology has been im proved
or created after this tutorial. Sim ply reinstall Softw are X and start over. If you’re sure that you
com pleted all steps correctly and the program still w ill not run then tough nuts… ..!

FAT32 OR NTFS: MAKING THE CHOICE
Choosing the file system to use on a W indow s XP system is seldom easy, and frequently it's not
just a onetim e decision. D ifferent factors can blur the decision process, and som e tradeoffs are
m ore than likely. N o matter w hat m ethod you choose to adopt W indow s XP, you w ill have to
face the FAT32 versus N TFS decision. Clean and upgrade installs both require you to address the
situation early on in the process. Later on, if you add a drive or repartition an existing drive the
decision process faces you yet again. Circum stances m ay dictate the choice for you, but in m ost
cases the options have to be W eighed and the tradeoffs of using each m ethod analyzed. Let's look
at the available choices.
File System Choices
M ost articles discussing file system choices look at FA T32 and N TFS as the tw o available
choices. In Reality, there are three system s w hich could be selected. FA T, FAT32, and N TFS.
G ranted, FAT32 and N TFS are the prim ary choices, but on occasion you'll still find the need for a
FAT volum e. A FA T V olum e has a m aximum size of 2G B and supports M S-D OS as w ell as
being used for some dual boot Configurations, but backw ard com patibility is about the only
reason I can think of that FA T should ever be used, other than for the occasional floppy diskette.
That said; let's m ove on to FAT32 and N TFS.
W hich File System to Choose?
A s much as everyone w ould like for there to be a stock answ er to the selection question, there
isn’t. D ifferent situations and needs w ill play a large role in the decision of w hich file system to
adopt. There isn’t any argument that N TFS offers better security and reliability. Some also say
that N TFS is m ore flexible, but that can get rather subjective depending on the situation and
w ork habits, w hereas N TFS superiority in security and reliability is seldom challenged. Listed
below are som e of the m ost com mon factors to consider w hen deciding betw een FAT32 and
N TFS.
Security
FAT32 provides very little security. A user w ith access to a drive using FAT32 has access to the
files on that drive. N TFS allow s the use of N TFS Perm issions. It's m uch m ore difficult to
im plement, but folder and file access can be controlled individually, dow n to an extreme degree if
necessary. The dow n side of using N TFS Perm issions is the chance for error and screw ing up the
system is greatly m agnified. W indow s XP Professional supports file encryption.
Com patibility

Page 76 of 96
N TFS volum es are not recognized by W indow s 95/98/M e. This is only a concern w hen the system
is set up for dual or multi-booting. FA T32 must be used for any drives that m ust be accessed
w hen the com puter is booted from W indow s 95/98 or W indow s M e. An additional note to the
previous statem ent. U sers on the netw ork have access to shared folders no M atter w hat disk
form at is being used or w hat version of W indow s is installed. FA T and FAT32 volum es can be
converted to N TFS volum es. N TFS cannot be converted to FA T32 w ithout reform atting.
Space E fficiency
N TFS supports disk quotas, allow ing you to control the am ount of disk usage on a per user basis.
N TFS supports file com pression. FAT32 does not H ow a volume m anages data is outside the
scope of this article, but once you pass the 8G B partition size, N TFS handles space m anagement
m uch m ore efficiently than FA T32. Cluster sizes play an im portant part in how m uch disk space
is a w asted storing file. N TFS provides sm aller cluster sizes and less disk space w aste than
FAT32.In W indow s XP, the m aximum partition size that can be created using FA T32 is 32G B.
This increases to 16TB (terabytes) using N TFS. There is a w orkaround for the 32G B lim itation
under FAT32, but it is a nuisance especially considering the size of drives currently being
m anufactured.
Reliability
FAT32 drives are m uch m ore susceptible to disk errors.N TFS volum es have the ability to recover
from errors more readily than sim ilar FA T32 volum es. Log files are created under N TFS w hich
can be used for autom atic file system repairs. N TFS supports dynam ic cluster rem apping for bad
sectors and prevent them from being used in the future.
The final choice
A s the prior versions of W indow s continue to age and are replaced in the hom e and w orkplace
there w ill be no need for the older file system s. H ard drives aren't going to get sm aller, netw orks
are likely to get larger and m ore com plex, and security is evolving alm ost daily as m ore and m ore
users becom e connected. For all the innovations that W indow s 95 brought to the desktop, it's
now a virtual dinosaur. W indow s 98 is fast on the w ay out and that leaves N T and W indow s
2000, both w ell suited to N TFS. To w rap up, there m ay be com pelling reasons w hy your current
situation requires a file system other than N TFS or a com bination of different system s for
com patibility, but if at all possible go W ith N TFS. E ven if you don't utilize its full scope of
features, the stability and reliability it offers m ake it the hands dow n choice.

Change Text on XP Start Button
Step 1 – M odify E xplorer.exe File
In order to m ake the changes, the file explorer.exe located at C:\W indow s needs to be edited.
Since explorer.exe is a binary file it requires a special editor. For this purpose in this article I have
used Resource H acker. Resource H acker TM is a freew are utility to view , m odify, renam e, add,
delete and extract resources in 32bit W indow s executables and resource files (*.res). It
incorporates an internal resource script com piler and decom piler and w orks on W in95, W in98,
W in M E , W inN T, W in2000 and W inXP operating system s.
http://w w w .angusj.com/resourcehacker
The first step is to m ake a backup copy of the file explorer.exe located at C:\W indow s\explorer.
Place it in a folder som ew here on your hard drive w here it w ill be safe. Start Resource H acker and
open explorer.exe located at C:\W indow s\explorer.exe as show n in Fig. 1. The first step is to
m ake a backup copy of the file explorer.exe located at C:\W indow s\explorer. Place it in a folder
som ew here on your hard drive w here it w ill be safe. Start Resource H acker and open explorer.exe
located at C:\W indow s\explorer.exe as show n in Fig. 1.
FIG 1

The category w e are going to be using is String Table. E xpand it by clicking the plus sign then
navigate dow n to and expand string 37 follow ed by highlighting 1033. If you are using the
Classic Layout rather than the XP Layout, use num ber 38. The right hand pane w ill display the
string table as show n in Fig. 2. W e’re going to m odify item 578, currently show ing the w ord
“start” just as it displays on the current Start button.
FIG 2

Page 78 of 96
There is no m agic here. Just double click on the w ord “start” so that it’s highlighted, m aking sure
the quotation m arks are not part of the highlight. They need to rem ain in place, surrounding the
new text that you’ll type. Go ahead and type your new entry. In my case I used ATU L.
Fig 3

Com pare the screen captures in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 and you’ll notice that after the new text string
has been entered the Com pile Script button that w as grayed out in Fig. 2 is now active in Fig. 3.
I w on’t get into w hat’s involved in com piling a script, but suffice it to say it’s going to m ake this
exercise w orthw hile. Click Com pile Script and then save the altered file using the Save A s
comm and on the File M enu. D o not use the Save com m and – M ake sure to use the Save A s
comm and and choose a nam e for the file. See Fig. 04. Save the new ly nam ed file to C:\W indow s.

Step 2 – M odify the Registry
N ow that the m odified explorer.exe has been created it’s necessary to modify the registry so the
file w ill be recognized w hen the user logs on to the system . If you don’t know how to access the
registry I’m not sure this article is for you, but just in case it’s a tem porary m emory lapse, go to
Start (soon to be something else) Run and type regedit in the Open: field. N avigate to:

in Fig. 6. In V alue data: line, enter the nam e that w as used to save the m odified explorer.exe file.
Click OK

Close Registry E ditor and either log off the system and log back in, or reboot the entire system if
that’s your preference. If all w ent as planned you should see your new Start button w ith the
