Use registry shortcuts to disable and enable screensavers in Win XP

The steps in this tip will show you how to edit the registry for a time-saving shortcut for enabling and disabling your screensaver.
When you perform maintenance operations such as defragmenting or backing up the hard disk, you probably disable your screensaver before you begin to prevent it from interfering with the maintenance operation. However, disabling your screensaver manually is a multistep operation that involves accessing the Display Properties dialog box, navigating to the Screen Saver tab, and setting the screen saver to None. Then, you need to re-enable the screen saver after you complete the maintenance operation.
Fortunately, you can automate the disabling and enabling screen saver procedures with a couple of registry shortcuts. Note: Editing the registry is risky, so make sure you have a verified backup before making any changes.
Here's how.

1. Launch Notepad and type the following four lines. (Note: The second line must be blank.)
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"ScreenSaveActive"="0"
2. Save the file to your desktop with the name Disable Screen Saver.reg.
3. Change the 0 to a 1 in the fourth line.
4. Save the file to your desktop with the name Enable Screen Saver.reg.

Now, when you need to disable the screen saver, just double-click the Disable Screen Saver.reg shortcut. To enable the screen saver, double-click the Enable Screen Saver.reg shortcut.
When you run either of these files, the Registry Editor will display two confirmation prompts—one before making the change and one after making the change.

Reset Error E27 Printer Canon MP160

Canon MP160

Canon MP160 adalah printer jenama Canon "semua dalam satu" (All In One Printer) atau multifunction printer. Sebagaimana yang pernah saya terangkan berkenaan dengan masalah counter waste ink yang penuh di sini.

Model MP160 juga mempunyai kiraan sistem kumbahan yang apabila tiba masanya ia akan mengeluarkan isyarat E27 dan semua aktiviti mencetak akan terhenti dan sebarang arahan cetakan daripada komputer tidak berlaku. Isyarat E27 ini dipaparkan di skrin panel secara berkala bermula daripada "E" kemudian "2" dan kemudiannya "7". Komputer akan memaparkan pesanan printer bermasalah seperti Waste Counter Full. Jika anda mengalami masalah ini, sila lakukan cara dibawah ini.

Anda dikehendaki melakukannya dengan kerjasama dua tangan kerana ia melibatkan kombinasi serentak butang panel. Awas: Kekadang butang panel ON/OFF printer model ini mudah lekat atau tersangkut kerana rekaannya yang tak berkualiti.

1.Tekan butang ON/OFF untuk mematikan kuasa printer dan jangan mencabut kabel kuasanya. Kemudian sebelum menekan butang ON/OFF kembali, sila tekan butang Stop/Reset terlebih dahulu tanpa dilepaskan dan kemudian teruskan dengan menekan butang ON/OFF juga jangan dilepaskan.

2.Kemudian teruskan dengan melepaskan tekan pada butang Stop/Reset tanpa melepaskan tekan pada butang ON/OFF. Perhatikan pada butang ON/OFF (ingat jangan lepaskan butang ini), ketika ini butang ON/OFF akan hidup lampu hijaunya.

3. Seterusnya tekan kembali butang Stop/Reset sebanyak 2 kali (perhatikan ketika operasi ini lampu Alarm akan menyala warna oren mengikut jumlah tekanan iaitu sebanyak 2 kali).Kemudian lepaskan tekan pada butang ON/OFF. Ketika ini screen nombor akan menunjukkan nilai "0".

4.Seterusnya tekan butang Stop/Reset sebanyak 4 kali (perhatikan ketika operasi ini lampu Alarm juga akan menyala warna oren mengikut jumlah tekanan iaitu sebanyak 4 kali).

5. Seterusnya anda berada dilangkah yang terakhir iaitu tekan butang ON/OFF selama 3 saat sekali untuk mematikan kuasa printer. Kemudian hidupkan kuasa printer kembali dengan tekan butang ON/OFF kembali.

6. Anda telah berjaya menghapuskan kiraan sistem kumbahan ink dan Error E27 akan lenyap.
Prosedur yang sama juga boleh dilakukan kepada model MP145/110.


*Ingat prosedur di atas hanya untuk menghapuskan kiraan sistem kumbahan sedangkan penyerap kumbahan anda perlu menukarkannya dengan yang baru kerana ditakuti lama kelamaannya tangki kumbahan ink akan melimpah keluar. Bagaimanapun anda boleh memulakan kerja mencetak buat seketika selama beberapa bulan antara 2-3 bulan sebelum menukar penyerap kumbahan dengan yang baru.

collection of registry settings which I have recently encountered that you may find useful.

1. Enable Unsolicited Remote Assist

Unsolicited remote assist is very handy for troubleshooting problems on a remote computer where you don't have some other form of remote control such as VNC. I've found that enabling it through the UI doesn't always allow it to work, and you get some cryptic errors. These settings seem to really get it going.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Terminal Services

fAllowUnsolicited = 1

fAllowUnsolicitedFullControl = 1

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server

AllowTSConnections = 1

fDenyTSConnections = 0

fAllowToGetHelp = 1

2. Increase Desktop Heap

Sometimes opening a lot of windows or tabs in Internet Explorer pushes use of the heap (a section of memory used by the desktop.) When you bump up against the limit, strange things start to happen. This blog post details a way to increase it which gives you more headroom.

http://weblogs.asp.net/jgalloway/archive/2008/01/14/registry-setting-keeps-windows-from-wigging-out-when-you-open-lots-of-ie7-tabs.aspx

3. Allow Popups on Secure Sites

Internet Explorer's popup blocker is pretty handy most of the time. But when you're connected to a secure web site you may want it disabled because the popups are part of the user interface for the site (such as for authentication.) This setting allows popups on HTTPS sites.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\New Windows

Allow HTTPS = 1

4. No LAN Manager Hashes

An oldie, but a goodie. This entry prevents the system from storing LAN Manager password hashes which are much less secure than Kerberos or NT hashes. Older systems such as Win 98 and ME won't be able to authenticate, but that's actually a benefit.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\LSA\Parameter

NoLMHash = 1

5. Disable Shaking

This one is a personal taste thing. I don't like the shaking feature of Aero in Windows 7, I seem to activate it all the time on accident (perhaps I have muscle spasms.) Here's a way to disable it.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ Advanced

DisallowShaking = 1

6. Screen Saver Grace Period

The default setting for the grace period on requiring a password after the screen saver starts may be a bit too short for you.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\

ScreenSaverGracePeriod = (number of seconds)

7. Take Ownership Menu

This one isn't as much of a registry setting as it is a shortcut, but it's still handy. If you find yourself needing to take ownership of files a lot, this will be quicker than going through the security tab. It adds a menu item in Windows Explorer when you right click on a file or directory which will give you ownership.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\runas

(default) = "Take Ownership"

NoWorkingDirectory = (empty)

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\runas\command

(default) = "cmd.exe /c takeown /f \"%1\" && icacls \"%1\" /grant administrators:F"

IsolatedCommand = "cmd.exe /c takeown /f \"%1\" && icacls \"%1\" /grant administrators:F"

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas

(default) = "Take Ownership"

NoWorkingDirectory = (empty)

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas\command

(default) = "cmd.exe /c takeown /f \"%1\" /r /d y && icacls \"%1\" /grant administrators:F /t"

IsolatedCommand = "cmd.exe /c takeown /f \"%1\" /r /d y && icacls \"%1\" /grant administrators:F /t"

8. Disable Simple File Sharing

Simple file sharing in XP makes remote administration a bit difficult, mainly by disabling the admin shares (ADMIN$, C$, D$, etc.)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa

forceguest = 0

9. Disable Writing to USB Drives

This is a helpful security setting if your organization wants to disable writing to USB drives on certain machines.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicie

WriteProtect = 1

10. Default User Settings

This is more of a tip than a setting. If you need to restore a key in HKEY_CURRENT_USER to its default, you can find them all in HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT. This is also handy if you want to change a setting that will be used for all new user accounts because it is used as a template for each new user's registry settings.

How to access the sharing data offline

Access the shared data offline allows you to keep using your shared files, folders and software programs when disconnected from the data server. When you reconnect to your data server, all files will be synchronized to the files on the network.

There are two types of configurations required to set the access shared folders offline available, one for data server and other for client computer.

Configuration on Data Server.

First locate the folders that you would like to share or make new folders then share these folders so they can be accessible to any one on the network.

Now right click on that folder and click on the option "Sharing and security".

A small dialog box will appear with the title "data properties". Under the "Sharing" tab, select the check box "Share this folder on the network" under the "Network sharing and security".

Now set the share level permissions that you want to give the users on every folder. Enable cache of share folders by click on cache button (by default it will be enabled).

Configuration on Client Computer

On the client computer, first open My Computer then click on Tools.

In Tools menu bar, click on Folder Options, a window will appear with the title Folder Options.

Under the Offline File tab, check the option Enable Offline File. Here you can choose the synchronization process "Synchronize all offline files when logging on", "Synchronize all offline files before logging off" and others.

Click on Apply button to save the settings and then Ok button to close this window.

Now sitting on the client computer, try to access the shared folder from the data server.

First Right click on the shared folder and Click on Make available offline.

To synchronizing the offline work from client computer to data server, again open My Computer then click on Tools. Click on Synchronize then click on synchronizing button.

After that down to data server and then try to access share folders by give the UNC (Universal Naming Convention) path of data server. But it will be accessible weather the server is down or up.
