How to Back up your Network settings

Once you get your home or small business network set up the way you want it, making changes can sometimes create unexpected results. If you want to make changes to your network settings (which include the unique addresses the Internet uses to identify your computer and related equipment used for your connection), you might be concerned that you won’t be able to return them to their original settings if you make a mistake. Don’t worry—with Microsoft Windows XP, you can back up your network settings and restore them later, if necessary. It’s not as easy as clicking Undo, but it’s straightforward and only takes a few minutes.

Note: If you are using Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, you have to first install Windows Backup.

To back up your network settings

1.	Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Backup.

2. The Backup or Restore Wizard appears. Click Next.




3. On the Backup or Restore page, make sure that Back up files and settings is selected, and then click Next.




4. On the What to Back Up page, click Let me choose what to back up. Then click Next.




5. On the Items to Back Up page, expand My Computer, and then select System State. You can back up other files and folders at the same time by selecting those folders. Then click Next.

6. On the Backup Type, Destination, and Name page, click the Browse button and select a backup destination with at least 500 megabytes (MB) of free space. Because you’re trying to back up only your network settings, it’s usually okay just to save the backup to your My Documents folder. If you want to be able to restore the backup after a hard disk failure, save the backup to a USB flash drive, an external hard disk drive, or a folder on a different computer. In the Type a name for this backup box, type System settings or another useful description. Click Next.

7. On the Completing the Backup or Restore Wizard page, click Finish.




8. Windows Backup backs up your system settings to the specified location. This will take several minutes. After the backup is complete, click Close.

Increase the clarity of text in Windows

You can make text much easier to read on your computer screen by enabling ClearType. This technology, included with Microsoft Windows XP, changes the way fonts look on your screen to make them easier to read. The following sample shows standard text on the left and ClearType text on the right.

2. Right-click the desktop, and then click Properties.

 2. In the Display Properties dialog box, click the Appearance tab.




 3. Click the Effects button.




 4. Click the Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts check box (if it is not already selected), click the down arrow, and then click ClearType.




 5. Click OK.

6. In the Display Properties dialog box, click OK again.

ClearType improves the clarity of most fonts; however, there are several fonts that do not support this technology. You can still use those fonts—they just won't look as clear to you as those that support ClearType.

Remove Thumb.db file

Thumbs.db is a system file and it’s not a virus. It’s a system generated file found mostly on Windows XP systems. System creates these files in each folder to cache your folder contains. Caching a folder contains will result in faster folder accessing.

You can delete the Thumbs.db file by simply dragging it to the Recycle Bin. However, the file will be regenerated each time you open the folder, which means deleting the file has little effect. To prevent the Thumbs.db file from being created, follow these instructions:


Open "WINDOWS EXPLORER" >>  go to "TOOLS" >> open "FOLDER OPTIONS"

Go to "VIEW" >> see 1st section "FILES & FOLDERS" >> click on the "DO NOT CACHE THUMBNAILS" 

Click "OK" to apply the change and close the window (or click "Appy to All Folders" to make the change systemwide).

Using shortcut keys you can access the functions of an application quite easily and quickly. In Windows Media Player too, you can use the combination of different keyboard keys to accomplish routine task.
