NetBEUI protocol is installed

The NetBEUI communication protocol is a product of the Win95/98 era. There is no such protocol in WinXP (but NetBEUI is still on the WinXP CD). Some LANs must have NetBEUI. Access some or all of the computers on the network, so you need to install NetBEUI by yourself:

Put the WinXP installation CD into the "Valueadd"; Msft Net“Netbeui” directory will be Netnbf. Copy inf to C: “Windows“INF; will Nbf. Sys copy to C: & ldquo; Windows & ldquo; System32 & ldquo; Drivers; press & ldquo; start & rdquo; /control panel /network neighborhood, select & ldquo; network connection & rdquo;, right click on the "local area connection", select the content; In the "General" section, select "Install" "Install" "Communication Agreement" "Add”, then you can see "NetBEUI Protocol", select NetBEUI, press OK Just fine.

Encrypting files and folders

Encrypting files and folders makes it impossible for unauthorized users to read them. To encrypt a file or folder in Windows: Open “Windows Explorer'; right-click on the file or folder you want to encrypt, select the <;Properties" option, and click the “General” In the card, click the “Advanced” button and select the “Encrypt content to protect data” check box (this operation is only available for NTFS file system).

When encrypting a folder, the system will ask if you want to encrypt all the files and subfolders in the folder at the same time. If you choose to do so, then all the files or subfiles in the folder that are currently and will be added in the future. Folders will be encrypted; if you choose to encrypt only folders, the files and subfolders currently in the folder will not be encrypted, but any files and subfolders added to the folder will be encrypted when they are added. When encrypting a single file, the system will also ask if you want to encrypt the folder containing it at the same time. If you choose to do this, all subsequent files and subfolders added to the folder will be automatically encrypted.

Set the folder to a dedicated folder

By default, all folders in Windows XP are open, that is, all users on the machine can use them, which is undoubtedly Make important personal data of some users face serious threats. To this end, Windows XP has added a feature called "folder-specific", which refers to a folder in the NTFS file system that is set to "private folder" by the user. It can only be used by this user, and other users can't use it after logging in to Windows XP, which is convenient for protecting important personal information. To make a folder dedicated, simply move the folder to the “x:“Documents and Settings“username“” folder (where x is the partition where the Windows XP installation files are located), then right Click on the folder and select the "Properties" option. In the "Share” tab, check this box to make this folder personal so that only I can access the ” checkbox. In this way, when other users want to enter this folder after logging in to Windows XP, they will be prompted to "deny access".

Adding a five-stroke input method

WinXP does not come with a five-stroke input method. You only need to use five strokes to connect it. When you need to open five strokes, you must run the five-stroke input method to start it. It is very inconvenient. . The solution is:

First, “! Wnm“wnmime. Ime (install the directory of the universal Wubi input method) Copy to the "Windows" folder 32, back up the registry, and then modify the registry, under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE "System" "CurrentControlSet" and "Control", right-click the right window blank Create a new item, named: E0060804, then under the E0060804 key, right click to create four new string values:

IME file The key value input is: wnmime. Ime

Layout File The key input is: KBDUS. DLL

Layout Text The key input is: Universal Wubi Input Method

Finally, close the registry, right click on the shortcut icon of the input method in the taskbar, select “Set”, in the settings Select “Add”, in the pop-up "Select Input Method" dialog box to find the universal Wubi input method, click “ OK & rdquo; added to the input method.

Shared Drive or Folder Settings

Windows XP makes it easy to set the drive or folder to "share", and if you don't want these shared drives or files If the folder is seen by a remote computer user, simply add a "$” after the shared name or folder"share name", such as “C$”. However, when the remote computer user knows the computer name of the machine and the user name and password of the administrator and server operator, then any remote computer user can access the computer through the local area network or the Internet. Undoubtedly, this also enables the shared drive. There is a security risk in the computer of the folder or folder. To secure the shared drive or folder, we should disable the server service. When the server service is disabled, all remote computers will not be able to connect to any drive or folder on that computer, but the administrator of this machine will still be able to access shared folders on other computers. To disable the server service, go to “Control Panel>——“Performance and Maintenance ——“Administrative Tools", double-click “service”icon, at "service In the window, double-click the “Server” option to see the dialog box shown in Figure 1. In the “Startup Type” list, select “Disabled” or “Manual”
