If you use Windows XP Professional then it is possible to squeeze an extra 20% out of your internet connection. By default Windows XP Pro holds back 20% of your Internet speed for various services like windows update and spyware checks.

If you want to tap into this locked speed then make the following changes:

1. Go to Start-> Run-> and type gpedit.msc
2. Expand the Administrative Templates branch
3. Expand the Network tab
4. Highlight QoS Packet Scheduler
5. Click on Limit Reservable Bandwidth and check the enabled box
6. Then Change the Bandwidth limit % to 0 %

Once you have done this click apply and restart your PC. After rebooting you should see a noticeable improvement in your net speed.

Click here to check the bandwidth (do it before and after :) )

Clipboard

The clipboard is a software facility that can be used for short-term data storage and/or data transfer between documents or applications, via copy and paste operations. It is most commonly a part of a GUI environment and is usually implemented as an anonymous, temporary block of memory that can be accessed from most or all programs within the environment via defined programming interfaces. A typical application accesses clipboard functionality by mapping user input (keybindings, menu selections, etc.) to these interfaces.
The contents of the clipboard can be viewed at any time by using the Clipboard Viewer.
To display the clipboard content, user can do it by running clipbrd.exe and it will show you the clipboard content once it is launched. Clipbrd.exe comes together with Windows XP and it is located under \WINDOWS\system32
1) Right click on the free area on desktop, then New->Shortcut.
2) on the ‘Create Shortcut window’ ,, type: "clipbrd.exe " and click Next>Finish
To view the content of your clipboard, just double click this shortcut and it will display the clipboard content immediately.

Recover files from damaged or corruptedCD/DVD/HD DVD/Blu-Ray disks

CD Recovery Toolbox tool was developed for recovering damaged files from different disk types: CD, DVD,HD DVD, Blue-Ray, etc. You can use it to restore information lost as a result of some mechanical damage of the disk (scratches, chips, different spots on the surface) or as a result of incorrect recording. Thus, the program can recover data that was considered lost. The CD Recovery Toolbox Free tool scans any CD and DVD disks and finds files and folders located there. We should mention that there can be some information on the disk that cannot be recovered. Not all of the files and folders can be found - that depends on the degree and location of the damage. Therefore, the CD Recovery Toolbox Free tool finds the possible maximum amount of information. After that, it shows a list of all files and folders available for recovery. Now the user can select the files and folders to be recovered. Those specific objects will be recovered while the others will be ignored. The program recovers the maximum amount of information in the damaged file. This reduces the risk of data loss considerably.
Program features:

1. Recovering information from any CD and DVD disks
2. Recovering files larger than 4 Gb
3. Detecting possible lack of free space on the hard disk for storing the recovered files

DeepMonitor (size 285kb) to Detect Hidden Process

DeepMonitor is an hidden process detector, for Windows XP SP2 only, defeating most of rootkits technologies. It can also detect some hidden injected modules techniques. Although it is very good in detecting hidden process, this tool can’t tell you if a normal running process that can be seen at Windows Task Manager is dangerous or not. Let’s take svch0st.exe for an example. By looking at the filename, it is obviously a virus or spyware because the letter O has been replaced by the number zero (0). If you run DeepMonitor, it will also show scvh0st.exe but it will not warn you because it is not a hidden process.
